Error messages are a necessary part of every form
On electronic forms, error messages indicate when input is missing or invalid.
Even if your form has been carefully designed with great user experience in mind, you'll still need error messages as form-fillers are…well…only human. We all make typographical mistakes, accidentally miss fields and make our own, sometimes unusual, interpretation of questions and field labels.
Principles of good error message design
There are plenty of solid articles on the web that enumerate the principles behind well-designed error messages, from Jakob Nielsen's advice in 2001 to the relevant section of the current Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines. A recent article that is a favourite of ours is "Communicating errors" by UserFocus in the UK.
All of these guidelines boil down to one small and straightforward set of principles that apply to each error:
- tell the form-filler that an error has occured;
- be clear about exactly what and where that error is; and
- provide the form-filler with the information and tools they need to be able to correct the error, or otherwise get out of the situation.
Underlying these principles is a more general one about forms: be respectful of the user. A form is a conversation between two parties and like the equivalent in real life, being rude doesn't help anyone. This is especially the case when you consider that error messages are delivered at precisely the point where the user has encountered a barrier to task completion.
The missing example: error messaging done well
The numerous guidelines and articles available on the web are supplemented by design patterns on sites like Welie.com (called "Input Error Message") and UI-patterns.com (called "Input Feedback"). And while all of the aforementioned resources include examples of poor error messages, you can always get more from a showcase like the one on Elements of Design or the plethora on Flickr (a favourite is "Interface Insults").
So with all this information, why are we writing yet another article on error messages? Because we think there's just one little thing missing from this resource pool: a clearly illustrated example of error messaging done well.
Below you'll find a screenshot from an online car insurance quote interface. We think this illustrates the key characteristics of well-designed error messaging. Note that so you can see them better, you'll find the relevant parts of the screen shown also in Figures 2-4. You can also click on any image to see a bigger version of it.
Figure 1: Screenshot of a web-based car insurance quoting form.
The key features of this example are as follows:
- Errors are summarised at the top of the page (this is the part of the screenshot referenced with the number 1). In this particular case, the errors are split into two groups: questions without any answer; and questions for which the answer is invalid.
- Within each of these sub-groups, the order in which errors are presented is the same as the order those errors occur in the form.
- Each error is highlighted in the place where it actually occurs on the form itself (an example of which you can see at the numbers 2 and 3).
- Both colour and icons are used to visually highlight the errors, with consistent styling applied throughout. Using both colour and icons means the error styling is accessible to those with colour-deficient vision.
- We chose to use red as our colour as it seems to be becoming a de facto cue for errors around the internet (for Western websites at least – we know red may not be so suitable for other cultures).
- We use an exclamation mark ("!") as our icon because it has a history of being used on hazard and warning signs etc, which try to attract the eye to something that needs immediate attention.
- Each error in the summary is an anchor link to the error itself lower down in the form, making it easier for the user to quickly locate and fix problems.
- When the error is described it's clear whether the problem is one of omission or validity. Omission is when there is no answer but there needs to be. Validity means the answer given is not acceptable (e.g. outside allowable ranges).
- The language is non-technical, non-accusatory and focuses more on what needs to be done to 'get across the finish line', as it were, than what has already gone wrong.
Figure 2: Close-up of the error summary. Notice how errors are presented one per bullet, with the bullets divided into two groups according to whether the answer is missing or invalid. This is a nicely-scalable solution, in that it copes with any number of errors of either type.
Figure 3: Close-up of the first error (invalid date).
Figure 4: Close-up of the second error (missing data).
Now, we're not suggesting that the specific implementation shown here is the only way that error messages can be designed well. Rather, we wanted to show just one example of how the relevant principles can be put into practice. That way, we hope we are providing you with a guide for checking your own designs.
Indeed one potential refinement to this approach would be to include an error message like "Please provide an answer for this question" underneath questions that have not been answered but must be. Testing would show whether simply highlighting the question is enough or whether an explicit instruction is needed.
What about inline validation?
Obviously the solution presented here refers to the results of server-side validation. A different design approach is needed if you're validation errors "inline" (i.e. as the form-filler moves from one field to the next). On all but the smallest and simplest of web forms, however, there will be a need for some server-side validation.
Over to you
Do you have examples of well-designed error messages that you'd like to share? Let us know in the comments.
We'd also love to hear suggestions of modifications to this design that you feel would improve the communication of errors.

Here's a nice overview of some very useful network analysis tools that you probably already have … but might not be aware of.
A lot happens when you open a website in the Firefox web browser. While you see the result of that action in the browser UI, you do not really get to see what is happening in the background. You can install extensions such as NoScript that provide you with some information, especially related to third-party requests, but if you want to get the full picture, you need to turn elsewhere. Firefox ships with powerful networking tools that you can activate or load for that purpose. You do not need to install an add-on or program for that, as everything is included with recent versions of the browser by default.


text: The Power of Real Time Dashboards In Agile Development: Visualize & Attack by 360insights On November 18, 2014 Under: Blog I want to share a couple things that our team has learned along our journey into real-time production monitoring. Mainly, it's about the realizations we've had surrounding the importance of shortening the feedback cycle when it comes to designing dashboards during development. Much has been said and written about visualization of what your app does in production – I'm sure you get it by now. I'm talking here about the importance of having the exact same view you would have in production at development time and what a powerful realization this has been for the team and I. Maybe the easiest way to start is with a metaphor. Imagine that you were a carpenter, building a wooden nightstand for someone. You are handy with the tools, maybe even a master carpenter – you really know your stuff, development-wise. Imagine though, that you are crafting each part to perfection – you have a great blueprint to work from and all the finest tools, but all your work is being done in a darkened box behind a curtain. To shape and assemble the nightstand, you need to reach into the dark box and fumble with all the pieces and then keep assembling them and testing out the nightstand to make sure it seems to be working properly – that the drawers are opening, the top is on top, the bottom is on the bottom etc. Doesn't that sound…kind of stupid? Why Dashboard? But let's bring it into the dev world now: pretend that we've built a cutting edge, successful training platform. We're "capital A" Agile Development, we've got a tight set of unit tests, an acceptance test. We've also got some form of delivery pipeline and we're somewhat regular delivering to production. When suddenly it starts to hit us: Bob says he has spent the entire week working through the 24 lessons, but at the end the app wouldn't let him complete the course. A few more emails come in with the same problem. Then a few hundred more. It turns out that we missed a cache-busting javascript file so people with cached versions couldn't complete the lessons. Hundreds of people putting in the time and effort to take the training and not finding out it wasn't going to pay off until they had already completed the entire course. How could we have seen this coming? I say that the usual methods of contrived testing would not have revealed the problem and that's because the problem didn't come in the form of an error, it came in the form of an omission. I've got this thought – mind you it isn't fully formulated yet – that monitoring these types of metrics is akin to constantly running acceptance tests telling you that business value IS being delivered. How Have We Done It? We have been leaning on open source tools – they could be more mature but it has been working great for us, nonetheless. We push our metrics to statsd, which aggregates and forwards them to Graphite. Graphite efficiently stores time-series data, query and applies crazy interesting functions to it. We then use Grafana to create graphs from Graphite data and put together entire dashboards to measure app activity. Keeping an eye on trends uncovers issues and opportunities you would have otherwise not seen. The dashboards need to be managed like code and you want them consistent across environments. For us, having new graphs show up in all environments is huge, so our dashboard nodes update on commit. To be clear, all of this is a developer task – you are going to be using it, you are going to benefit from it. Capturing log entries and metrics is dead simple. It's knowing what to capture that is difficult and we really don't know if the data we're capturing is going to be helpful until we visualize it. We get it wrong all the time, of course, but that's the point here; what makes sense when you're typing away in your editor often makes zero sense at the user level. Would you ship a new UI without ever looking at it? The fact is that you need to know in advance what will happen in production and the best way to do that is to have a production-evolved model to refer to while you're building it. Once you accept this idea, you also need to know how easy it is to shorten the feedback cycle by scripting a production-like world on your laptop. When you realize the tiny investment to build this little world for yourself, you will never return to the old way of working. I want everyone to re-think how we look at this – make that production insight a first-class citizen right from the get go, day one of starting to write the code. If you'd like to see another piece where I get into the weeds a bit more on this, let me know in the comments or ping me on Twitter and I'll put something together.

Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III activated the County's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Monday at 8:00 p.m. The Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department followed with opening the Department Operations Center (DOC).
"Prince George's County is prepared for our first major winter weather event of the season. I want to thank all essential County personnel in advance for their hard work and service during this significant weather event," said Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III. "I am asking citizens to stay off the roads as much as possible and to be safe. During times like these, it is important that we look out for neighbors, family, and friends – especially the elderly."
Each agency had opened some level of an operation center for the Presidents Day snow storm which left the County anywhere from four to six inches of snow. County Government closed for Tuesday, February 17 with essential personnel still reporting to work. Initial call volume for the morning after the snow was slower than a normal day. Dispatchers handled nearly 800 calls for service on Sunday where a normal volume of calls is about 350.

Finding a vehicle garage that you can trust that does the services you need and at a reasonable price can be a difficult process. There are many options available but finding the one best for you can cause a lot of confusion and time spent searching. Here at Scuff "N" Scratch because we have so many years of experience, we get asked from people who live outside of the areas we cover how to find the best automotive body shop, in this blog post we share with you how.
Know the services you need
Because you start to look for body shops we would suggest that you should have know what services you require, this is to make the process much clearer and easier. There may be a chance that you find a body shop with a really good reputation but doesn't provide the services you require. Here at Scuff "N" Scratch we offer services, such as car scratch repairs in Aylesbury and because of our time in the industry we are able to suggest companies that other services we don't and many other body shops will do the same.
Where to find an automotive body shop
When you know the service you require you should start look for companies that cover your areas.
Google is probably the easiest place to start your search. You should search for the service and the area, for example alloy wheel repair in Buckingham. Look at the companies website and see if they offer the service you require.
Social media:
Social media is a fantastic tool to look for companies as you can easily see past work and reviews from customers. When using social media you should send out a tweet or status asking your follows/friends if they know a good body shop, this may give you a few options.
Most body shop centres will be listed on various online directories; you should have a look at directory sites and see if you can find a company that covers your requirements.
Contact the body shop
When you have found the body shop and had a look on their website you should contact them directly for more information and to book.

Everyone can sit around now, well after the events of November 22, 1963, and play parlor games as to how wise it would have been for any conspirators to go forward with such a "Patsy" plot. Hindsight is very nearly always 20/20, of course.
But put yourself in the shoes of whoever it was that you believe was orchestrating and maneuvering the pawns in such a plan PRIOR to the green light being given to these many gunmen in Dealey Plaza.
I've often wondered if ANYONE who believes in the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald was nothing but a mere patsy has ever even pondered upon the pre-assassination thought process that must have been dancing through the collective conspiratorial craniums of those unknown plotters who were the brilliant architects of the incredible plot that featured a lone patsy being framed in Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63.
There are many, many people who put a lot of faith and stock in Oliver Stone's theory purported in his 1991 motion picture "JFK" (or some similar multi-shooter conspiracy theory that closely resembles Stone's).
But it might be wise for those people to think about these facts for just a second and see if it makes even the slightest bit of PRE-assassination sense at all:
In the film "JFK", Oliver Stone seems to have just about everybody east of the Rocky Mountains involved in one way or another in the elaborate plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. The film is a veritable "Melting Pot of Plots". (I guess Mr. Stone just wanted to touch every possible base, and throw in the kitchen sink, to boot.)
There's a point in the film which has Jim Garrison (played by Kevin Costner) and his staff, while eating dinner (or maybe it was lunch) in a restaurant, coming up with conspiracy theories seemingly out of thin air and off the tops of their heads.
Mr. Garrison seems to be taking assassin Lee Harvey Oswald at his word when Oswald shouted "I'm just a patsy!" in the hallways of Dallas police headquarters.
Of course, just exactly WHY this known liar (Oswald) -- who told one falsehood after another to both the police and the anxious press at the police station -- would suddenly be looked upon as a TRUTHFUL person by the conspiracy theorists, who believe he was telling the truth when he uttered his famous "Patsy" declaration after his arrest, is a mystery to me. Most curious indeed.
Oliver Stone's movie might very well make some people think twice about what really happened in Dallas on November 22nd, but I'd ask those same people to consider the rationale and logic that would have been exhibited by any plotters who were attempting to frame their lone patsy (Oswald) PRIOR to the assassination.
In other words, in order to accept the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald WAS, indeed, the "patsy" he said he was, and in order to buy into Oliver Stone's 3-Gunmen, 6-Shot "Triangulation of Crossfire" conspiracy theory that is the central "shooting plot" as depicted in the movie "JFK", anyone who accepts the film's proposed shooting scenario as fact MUST, therefore, also be of the opinion that the conspirators/plotters had no hesitation whatsoever to green-light and proceed full-tilt with a "patsy" plan that would involve the POTENTIAL final results of having the one and only target (John F. Kennedy) being hit with up to SIX SEPARATE BULLETS fired from the guns of THREE different snipers (one of which was firing from the front, the exact OPPOSITE direction from where the ONE "patsy" was supposedly firing in the Texas School Book Depository Building, which was located to the REAR of the President's car).
Even in a perfect conspiracy world, how in the heck could these plotters possibly have thought (on November 21st, the day before such a nutty plan would be taking place) that it was a GOOD idea to utilize three different assassins, who would ALL be drilling JFK's body (potentially) with many bullets in just a short 6-to-8-second time period -- with several of these missiles coming from OBVIOUS non-Oswald (non-patsy) locations?
Were these conspirators of the opinion (somehow) that JFK would be pronounced dead right there in the limousine, right there in Dealey Plaza, and would then be driven IMMEDIATELY to some Conspiracy Morgue someplace where ALL the wounds that have just been inflicted upon the President would be controlled by the same evil plotters who conceived of this plot?
Did the people who dreamed up this impossible-to-pull-off frame-the-lone-patsy plot really NOT consider the possibility of ALL SIX of the bullets being fired by the three assassins striking President Kennedy (or all six shots hitting SOMEBODY in Dealey Plaza anyway)?
And did they really NOT consider the likelihood that many, many doctors and nurses, et al, at Parkland Hospital would be NOTICING the many NON-OSWALD wounds to the President's body?
And: Did these plotters really NOT consider the potential eyewitness accounts of the literally hundreds of witnesses who were scattered throughout Dealey Plaza to watch the President pass by?
Did the plotters just GET LUCKY when not one single witness saw ANY assassin other than the killer located in the "Oswald window" in the Book Depository? Did they just get lucky that the vast majority of earwitnesses heard ONLY THREE SHOTS (the EXACT number that Oswald could have fired in the allotted assassination timeframe)?
And: Did the conspirators also just luck out (again) when very, very few witnesses (less than 5% total) said that they heard shots coming from MORE THAN ONE DIRECTION? (And the majority of these witnesses heard shots from BEHIND the President's car, from the direction of the School Book Depository.)
And: Didn't ANY of these crackerjack conspirators who were weaving this unbelievable "patsy" scheme also take into account the possibility that a few of those hundreds of Dealey Plaza witnesses just might have had cameras in their hands and just might have snapped pictures and even MOVIES of the assassination -- photos and moving pictures that might very well PROVE A CONSPIRACY EXISTED on November 22nd?
Didn't ANY of these things go through the heads of these assassination-planning operatives? If these potential problems with their screwball plan didn't enter their brains, these guys weren't earning their covert dollars, that's for sure.
From a PRE-November 22nd point-of-view, any "patsy" plot that involves multiple gunmen firing at the VERY SAME TARGET from a variety of different directions is a plot that only a crazy person would consider carrying out.
Because there is virtually no chance of such a moronic plan succeeding, unless the shooters being employed were so rotten that all of the gunmen being used on 11/22/63, EXCEPT the Oswald look-alike on the Depository's sixth floor, miraculously missed the target [JFK] and also missed everybody else in the car and in Dealey Plaza.
Shouldn't just a small bit of common sense and practicality have crept into the minds of these people (whoever they were supposed to be) who were orchestrating this now-widely-believed and accepted-as-FACT "Oswald Was Just A Patsy" conspiracy scheme?
Shouldn't at least one of these plotters have spoken up and said on 11/21/63: "Gee fellas, this plan seems a tad bit loony. We're asking three different killers to all fire at JFK at virtually an identical point in time and yet somehow also expect ALL the trace evidence to, somehow, some way, immediately lead back to Oswald's window and only Oswald's rifle. Hmmm....maybe we ought to re-think this plan. Ya think?"
But, according to many conspiracy theorists of the world (including filmmaker Oliver Stone), I guess nobody on the "JFK Assassination Plot" payroll made any such logical statement, and, therefore, the bound-to-collapse Three-Gun, Frame-The-Single-Patsy plot was allowed to proceed, as planned.
Did these plotters just automatically assume that all of the frontal-shot evidence that would invariably blow the patsy plot to bits just minutes after the gunfire had ceased in Dealey Plaza wouldn't be noticed by any Parkland personnel?
And did the plotters also assume that ZERO of these many bullets that would be potentially entering the body of John Kennedy (or any other victims who might be accidentally hit) would ALL simply get lost on their own or wouldn't be seen by any non-plotters?
Or was it the conspirators' belief that all of these bullets would immediately be collected by some additional conspirators within the hospital?
Or did the plotters just feel it wouldn't make any difference how many bullets had pelted JFK's body, and that any non-Oswald bullet wounds would simply be "taken care of" by other after-the-shooting conspirators who were in charge of the cover-up operation?
Kind of a reckless plan and a very large risk to take, don't you think?
In fact, from a PRE-assassination standpoint, a plan of that nature would have been just plain suicide for the conspiracy team. Which is the main reason why no such plan would have been implemented on 11/22/63; nor would such a foolish plot have even been considered in the first place, given the many obvious hazards and complications that such a "patsy" operation would have presented.
It's hilariously absurd from every given angle! And it's hard to believe that any reasonable and rational person can actually believe such "Oswald Was Merely A Patsy" nonsense.
I think it's kind of interesting that Oliver Stone decided not to accept Robert Groden's complete version of the assassination. In his book "The Killing Of A President", Groden, who served as a technical adviser on the film "JFK", tells of his ridiculous conspiracy theory which involves a minimum of 8 shots (and possibly even more)!
And, incredibly, Mr. Groden claims that NONE of these eight bullets likely came from the Oswald window in the Book Depository Building. (Please note that even Oliver Stone didn't buy into that silliness.)
Most conspiracy theorists [CTers] don't have a leg to stand on either, should they wish to waver on their belief in the "patsy" theory. What I mean by that remark is:
Even if certain CTers do feel that what I've laid out above does make a good deal of sense (from the pre-November 22 POV of the conspirators mapping out the Dallas plot), and those same CTers do have doubts about whether or not such a goofy plan to frame a single patsy would have ever even been attempted or not -- most of those same CTers with doubts still have nowhere to go BUT down the "patsy" path.
Because of up to three other pieces of evidence in the case that these same CTers believe in fervently:
1.) The belief that Bullet CE399 was a "planted" bullet.
2.) The belief (by some of these same theorists, but not all) that the "Backyard Photos" of Lee Harvey Oswald are fakes.
3.) The belief that several "fake Oswalds" were running around all over the place prior to November 22 (in Mexico City and other various locations as well), which obviously would have been a pre-assassination attempt by somebody or some organization to frame the patsy named Oswald.
If a person chooses to believe in any one of the above three items, then it makes that person a believer in the "frame the patsy" plot. There is no getting around that fact.
Because by believing that CE399 was a planted bullet and/or believing that the backyard photographs are phony and were planted in Ruth Paine's garage by conspirators and/or believing that imposter Oswalds were being used before the assassination -- is also to believe, by necessity, that Oswald was being "set up" in advance to take the fall as the patsy for President Kennedy's murder.
Otherwise, why would there have been any need whatsoever to plant the bullet at Parkland, or the backyard photos at the Paine home, if somebody wasn't at the same time attempting to pin the assassination on Oswald?
Answer: There would be no logical reason for planting ANY incriminating items surrounding Oswald if the planters and plotters weren't using LHO as their patsy in the case.
Back to Oliver Stone's flick for just a second more:
I enjoy watching Oliver Stone's "JFK", but from the standpoint of fictional drama only, and certainly not from any kind of historically accurate point-of-view at all. The music score and the outstanding work of editing together reconstructed scenes with real film footage from 11/22/63 are things that are noteworthy in the movie.
But I'll stick with my own (and Vincent Bugliosi's) version of assassination events (i.e., Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty as sin and had no helpers), rather than take a huge leap off the conspiracy diving board, where every theory being discussed is as cloudy and murky as the "Badge Man" image in Mary Moorman's famous Polaroid photograph.

In the five-year period from 2005 to 2010, about 1.4 million Mexicans immigrated to the United States and about 1.4 million Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born children moved from the United States to Mexico.Keep in mind, however, that at least 400,000 of those who "moved" did so because they were deported, especially in the years of the Obama administration.
Apprehensions of Mexicans trying to cross the border illegally have plummeted by more than 70% in recent years, from more than 1 million in 2005 to 286,000 in 2011—a likely indication that fewer unauthorized immigrants are trying to cross. This decline has occurred at a time when funding in the U.S. for border enforcement—including more agents and more fencing—has risen sharply.But keep in mind that the increased border enforcement keeps people in as well as keeping them out. Border enforcement has made it more costly not only for new immigrants to cross, but it has also "trapped" existing undocumented immigrants in the US--they are largely staying here riding out the economic storm. Without the enhanced border enforcement, many of those people would have "self-deported" and would have ridden out the storm in Mexico (where the cost of living is lower), waiting for better economic times, at which point they might have re-crossed the border. Border enforcement has completely changed the dynamic along the border, but not in the expected or intended way.
Looking back over the entire span of U.S. history, no country has ever sent as many immigrants to this country as Mexico has in the past four decades. However, when measured not in absolute numbers but as a share of the immigrant population at the time, immigration waves from Germany and Ireland in the late 19th century equaled or exceeded the modern wave from Mexico.This is a really important point because it reminds us that the percent of the US population that is foreign-born has only recently climbed back to the level of the 19th century. This is not really new ground we're covering here.
The New York Times weighed in on the story by asking two experts about their reaction to the assertion that a fairly significant number of Mexicans have returned home from the US:
Steven A. Camarota, the director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, a group that advocates reduced immigration, noted that he had first reported an outflow of Mexicans in 2009. "The evidence is very strong," Mr. Camarota said, "that there is a slowdown of people coming from Mexico and a big increase in people leaving."Personally, my vote goes to Wayne Cornelius on this issue...
Wayne A. Cornelius, a director of the Center of Expertise on Migration and Health at the University of California, said that in his most recent field research, which drew on interviews with migrants in Mexico and California, there were no signs of increased return migration. The "overwhelming pattern," he said, "is that migrants who have made it to the United States and found employment, particularly if it is relatively stable despite the recession, are hanging in there and riding it out."

The Psychology of Spamming, part 4 - Why we fall for scams
We humans had Stone Age ancestors for a long time and our limbic systems kept us alive; when we feel afraid of something, say snakes, it is because our brains are hard wired to avoid things that could harm us. The fear response is actually a good thing. However, eventually our neocortexes evolved. When they did, civilization advanced. Unfortunately, our limbic system was ill-prepared to deal with all of the change. There is a mismatch between the evolutionary adaptiveness of emotions and the environments in which we make decisions.
We used to eat in order to survive, and survival was difficult. Now, we have all sorts of temptations like chocolate, fatty fried foods, excess sugar, and the like. Our brains tell us that food is good and we need it to survive, and our emotions of desire tell us that it will taste good. Similarly, back in the Stone Age, and when we were still prior to the missing link, species had to engage in sexual behavior in order to keep the species alive. Sexual desire is built into our brains because it was a survival necessity. Yet now, the population is not in any need of propagation. Better nutrition and medical advances has prolonged our lives, but the desire for sexual contact is still there (and has to remain there otherwise we'd all disappear within a generation). Our limbic systems have not caught up to the scope of change, and we, as a civilization, are in future shock.
Unfortunately, this scope of technological change which has introduced future shock has also resulted in malicious actors being able to exploit the rest of us for nefarious purposes.
The availability of technology in modern society has enabled scammers to move to a new platform. I say "scammers" and not "spammers" because scams have been around for a very long time. Our Stone Age brains are still hard wired to protect us and alleviate the fear response. However, when we see something that we trust and are given a way to protect ourselves from harm, we haven't adapted yet to automatically think about the possibility someone might be attempting to deceive us.
These scams work because of the following:
- They speak to our limbic brain that drives our basic biological instincts required to survive
- They use techniques such as time urgency, control, and serious impact associated with doing or ignoring them
- They invoke positive or negative affect which has been demonstrated to influence people's decisions
The advantage of email is that it is cheap and the sender does not bear the cost of processing it. If the receiver had to pay for postage, then scammers would have been doing the same thing as soon as the US Postal Service was created. If only 1 in 10,000 phishing scams worked on its victims, and if the average theft from a phishing scam is $900[1], then to make a respectable gross wage of $50,000 a spammer only need to send out half a million spams. Spam filters make delivery more difficult, and so a spammer would need to send at least 10 times that amount, say 50 million spam messages. However, as the cost of technology has fallen, the regrettable by-product is that 50 million is a small amount of emails to send over the course of a year.
Our Stone Age brains have not yet caught up to the reality of malicious intent, particularly with technology.

Targeting Growth Nov 27th, 2012
Currently I am in the process of organizing and beginning the analysis of my survey data. A few weeks ago I released a survey to the members of the Minneapolis Club asking for information regarding status of marriage, children and membership of other clubs at the time they became members of the Minneapolis Club. I have now put this information into pivot tables and am comparing it to other data regarding members of the club.

Below are my instructions. The original Woolly Pockets have grommets so they can hang on nails in the wall. This pattern can easily be adapted to include those if a rod is inconvenient. I lined the pockets with ground cloth to give it a little stability that would be waterproof. I plan to cut a couple of slits in the bottom for drainage. The nice thing about felt is that you don't have to finish the edges.
I think this is the first project that I have done that combines the "sewn" with the "grown" from my blog's name!
Fabric Plant Pockets
Felt (1 yd will yield 4 double pockets)
Ground Cloth (1 yd will yield 4 double pockets)
White Thread
Cut out the pieces:
From the Felt-
One rectangle 16 ½" x 12 ¼"
One rectangle 16 ½" x 18 ¼"
One strip 3" x 6"
From the Ground Cloth-
One rectangle 16 ½" x 12 ¼"
One rectangle 16 ½" x 18 ¼"
Cut a 2 ¼" square from each bottom corner of the felt and ground cloth rectangles (along the 16 ½" edge).
Layer the pieces in this order- 16 ½" x 18 ¼" ground cloth, 16 ½" x 18 ¼" felt, 16 ½" x 12 ¼" felt, 16 ½" x 12 ¼" ground cloth.
Fold the 16 ½" x 12 ¼" felt and ground cloth over so the final size from the notch to the fold is 5", pin in place.
Sew along the bottom and up the sides- do not sew the 2 ¼" square notch.
To box bottom corners, match each side seam of the notch to each bottom seam, and stitch across the resulting straight edge. Turn pocket right side out and push out corners.
The pocket now has one side that is longer than the other. Along the long side, measure 2 ¼" in from each side seam and cut a slit 3" deep. Fold resulting flap down and pin.
Fold the 3" x 6" felt strip in half length-wise. Sew long edge to create a 1 ½" x 6" strip. Pin the strip to the inside center of the front pocket.
Sew a top stitch ¼" along the lip of the front of the pocket, catching the strip in the stitching.
Pin the other end of the strip to the center of the inside face of the taller side of the pocket and sew.

We've been doling out the exclamation points this week, like Santa handing out candy canes, but we really can't help it; mid-December has bewitched us, through and through.
Glad we kept a few of those excited punctuation marks stashed away for the Saturday, Dec. 18 event at The Egyptian. Leslie Caron will be making an appearance, and "An American in Paris" will screen. And, cue the points: !!!
And, speaking of punctuation, here comes the part where we add a period after the first and last names of a famous actor: Leslie. Caron. Yes, she danced in "An American in Paris," famously, with Gene Kelly. She is one of the fabled stars of MGM's fabled golden age of musicals. She did, and does, ladle out sweet charms and eye-flashes and twirls with ease, an ease many an actor would buy, at any price, if they could.
Ms. Caron will be signing "Thank Heaven: A Memoir" at the theater, too. Yes, that's a reference to "Gigi," another not-at-all-small movie she starred in. If you like your big candy-colored '50s-era songfests, you're likely patting down your brow right now. The excitement.
And if you were at the Kim Novak event this past summer, bet we'll see you paying tribute to this great musical star on Dec. 18.
(Oh, and if you want to be floored, sartorially, just check out the pert little gloves on Ms. Caron in this "Paris" still. Somebody, in this town, we're begging you: Bring back this look for real.)

If you don't know already, outside of my non existent life at law school, I also work for the radio station kiss 100. I used to listen to them pretty much every morning before I got my iPod [sorry kiss] and then one fortunate day approx 3 years ago, I got to working on their street team - fun times.
Long story short, last week we were at the BNTM live shindig at the excel centre which was suuuper boring at first but got a bit interesting when the main fashion show began and all the male models started removing bits of clothing. yum!!
Did I mention that the venue was packed with loads of fully made up hopefuls
strutting limping around in heels with the intention of getting scouted?? tragic really. All they received for their troubles were blistered feet and blocked pores. ewwww.
Some on the other hand had awesome street style and made me look.
Here are the pics so you can look too.
spotted: primark belt on a designer's collection. It made me stroke my own with pride.
and here we have Britain's answer to Miss J..in HEELS!!
AAAAND THE STREET STYLE..[minus of course erm the actual streets...]
love what she's wearing [girl on the left]
love what he is wearing
love what ALL of them are wearing.
p.s. apologies for the lack of pics of erm meeeee but I seem to have currently misplaced my camera [shhhh don't tell the person who bought it for me]
and also time is always kinda gone. BUT as soon as I find it, I'll take pictures galore and you will all be the first to see it.
If anyone feels moved to buy me a new camera in the meantime then by all means proceed!!!
love and kisses with tongue!! oooh eeer ..who's a saucy minx then??

Panic disorder is diagnosed in people who experience spontaneous seemingly out-of-the-blue panic attacks and are very preoccupied with the fear of a recurring attack. Panic attacks occur unexpectedly, sometimes even when waking up from sleep. Panic disorder usually begins in adulthood (after age 20), but children can also have panic disorder and many children experience panic-like symptoms ("fearful spells").
Learn the symptoms of a panic attack, also known as an anxiety attack.
About 2-3% of Americans experience panic disorder in a given year and it is twice as common in women than in men. Panic disorder can interfere a lot with daily life, causing people to miss work, go to many doctor visits, and avoid situations where they fear they might experience a panic attack. The interference is greatest when people also have agoraphobia, as well as panic disorder.
Many people don't know that their disorder is real and highly responsive to treatment. Some are afraid or embarrassed to tell anyone, including their doctors and loved ones, about what they experience for fear of being considered a hypochondriac. Instead they suffer in silence, distancing themselves from friends, family, and others who could be helpful or supportive.
Facing Panic: Self Help for People with Panic Attacks. Learn seven self-help steps to break the cycle of panic and regain control of your life. This book includes techniques and exercises to manage and overcome panic attacks and panic disorder. The disorder often occurs with other mental and physical disorders, including other anxiety disorders, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, or substance abuse. This may complicate of getting a correct diagnosis.

After releasing Europe's first HD DVD -- the HDi enhanced Elephant's Dream -- Imagion AG is again breaking new ground with the first music HD DVD (and first European HD DVD) to include online features. Due in August, Motörhead's "Stage Fright" also uses HDi for new interactive features, allowing viewers to create their own setlist from concert footage and to take "snapshots" of the concert and create personal picture gallery in their HD DVD player's storage. Fans can hook their HD DVD player to the internet to download news, tour dates, pictures and artwork that will update the disc's menus. We may not be die-hard followers of "the dirtiest heavy metal band in the world" yet, but with this kind of release look for our tattoos to join the gallery soon. Check after the break for screen shots.

[On hold] Development on version 2.x (Iceland Edition)
Here we will update you with the latest progress.
Ah yes Sigur Rós. Personally I believe the louder stuff does not work for Iceland (i.e. from the Kveikur album). You need to play the masterpiece album Ágætus Byrjun. It's ambient enough especially when driving down the south side of Iceland past Eyjafjallajökull. Great band. Just don't listen to Takk album.Andranik26 wrote: ↑12 Jun 2018 10:32Jam some Sigur Rós while you drive in Iceland

Suzanne Sataline, the Wall Street Journal's crack religion reporter, filed a front page piece today in the Journal titled "Mormons Dismayed by Harsh Spotlight." Although I spoke with Ms. Sataline several times over the writing of her piece (and am lightly quoted near the end), I was still surprised at the depth, breadth, and understanding of Mormonism it managed so gracefully. Mormons licking their wounds this morning as they contemplate the beating their religion took over the last year may find some small consolation in this sympathetic piece.
The consensus among those quoted in the piece, from pollsters to professors to low-level Mormon bloggers is that the GOP primary revealed a surprising depth of suspicion toward Mormons held by many people across the country (semi-famous Mormon Ken Jennings is the exception). No one says (as no one credibly could) that anti-Mormonism was the sole cause of Romney's decline, but it seems that most agree his religion was a major factor.
Whether Romney was done in by his religion is an important question for the American polity, as a measure of American tolerance and progress, as well as an analytical tool for future campaigns. But for Mormons, the question is much more personal. It's a means of figuring out whether this group of people is accepted as fully American. While most Mormons have long been comfortable assuming that designation, they now have good reason to question it. What stings is how surprising that conclusion is for some:
"I don't think that any of us had any idea how much anti-Mormon stuff was out there," said Armand Mauss, a Mormon sociologist who has written extensively about church culture, in an interview last week. "The Romney campaign has given the church a wake-up call. There is the equivalent of anti-Semitism still out there."
"It seems like it's been open season on Mormons," says Marvin Perkins, a Los Angeles Mormon Church member who lectures about the history of blacks in the church.
"People were haranguing us on the Internet," Mr. Ballard said in an interview.
"There will be a long-term consequence in the Mormon church," says Mr. Mauss, the Mormon sociologist. "I think there is going to be a wholesale reconsideration with how Mormons should deal with the latent and overt anti-Mormon propaganda. I don't think the Mormons are ever again going to sorrowfully turn away and close the door and just keep out of the fray."
Ms. Sataline's in-depth piece is required reading for anyone wondering about the consequences of religious politicking in America.
Meanwhile, the Salt Lake Tribune posted a similar piece today, by its own excellent religion reporter, Peggy Fletcher Stack, which carried similar observations:
Most thought publicity for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whether positive or negative, would be a good thing. With optimistic naiveté, many believed the more people knew of Mormonism, the more Latter-day Saints would be accepted into mainstream America, legitimate players on the national stage.
That didn't happen. Instead, some said, Romney's failed campaign revealed what many Americans really think about Mormons. It forced Latter-day Saints to acknowledge that they don't just belong to another American denomination.
"We have to live with the fact that a lot of people think our beliefs are strange," said LDS historian Richard Bushman, the professor emeritus at Columbia University who helped explain Mormonism to a skeptical public. "Mormons have never had so much exposure as we have in the last year, so much genuine curiosity on the part of high-level media. I don't think we'll ever be the same."
While I agree that many Mormons feel a bit less secure in their place in public life today, I disagree that the net effect of this campaign has been negative for the LDS Church. It has certainly had the effect of driving members of the faith to a better, more nuanced understanding of their doctrines and history, and in many cases inspired them to greater advocacy of their beliefs. Further, while some have expressed disappointment that the Mormon question remains yet to be answered some time in the future, it seems clear that the next person on whom that burden rests will have a somewhat easier test to pass than Mitt Romney did. Just as the nation asks its toughest questions of a candidate in his first run and then moves to a different narrative the second time around, Mormons can probably expect slightly less obsessive focus the next time they see one of their own in the public eye.
Assuming we ever see another Mormon with sufficient temerity to try such a thing.

There are a lot of boardgamers who avoid Magic because of the collectible aspect, and that's certainly understandable. However, a while ago I discovered a wonderful variant called Stack, and it's not my favorite way to play. And the best thing about Stack is… it's completely non-collectible, and it costs only as much as you want to put in it.
At its core, the idea is very simple. Everyone plays from the same giant deck. Ideally, you should choose a selection of what you consider the most fun cards.
The stack is a lot of fun, and everyone I've played it with has enjoyed it. Won't you give it a try?
There is one other rule which is very important. There should be a supply of basic lands, and whenever a player could draw a card he may instead choose to draw a basic land of his choice. Additionally, if a player could search the library for a basic land, they may take one from the basic land supply (there shouldn't be any basic lands in the stack itself).
Other than that rule, the format is great because it allows you a huge amount of leeway to tailor it to suit you. For instance, I love Planechase, and a deck of Plane cards in the center of the table is always an important part of stack for me.
There are some practical issues which must be dealt with. Here are my rulings; you should come up with your own to suit your tastes (or you can just use mine, they've worked fine for as long as I've been using them…).
- When you start a game of Stack, take a handful of the shuffled stack to form the initial library. Never reshuffle the same cards into the library, always replenish from the unused, shuffled stack.
- If a basic land would be put into the graveyard, instead it is returned to the pool of basic lands (and note that it doesn't trigger effects based on cards going to the graveyard).
- For all effects, the library is both your library and your enemies' libraries.
- For all effects, the graveyard is both your graveyard and your enemies' graveyards.
- If a non-basic land card would be put in the library anywhere other than on top of the library, it's exiled instead. If a basic land card would be put into the library anywhere (including on top), it's returned to the pool of basic lands.
- In a game with more than two players, the winner gets to sign a single, unsigned card of his choice. It must be a standard magic card (e.g. not a plane or archenemy card), and can not be a basic land. Additionally, it should be a card which was significant to his victory. The winner should sign and date the card, and optionally add a short quote or illustration.
Crafting your Stack
In crafting your stack, aim for cards that you think are fun. They don't necessarily need to be powerful, or even particularly good (although they should be at least good enough to be worth playing). Though not strictly necessary, I recommend having no more than one copy of any given card in your stack.
In my stack, I put a special emphasis on cards that interacted with the graveyard to take advantage of the shared graveyard rules (e.g. incarnations, cards with flashback, etc), and I also put in pretty much every creature with morph I could find because that's an ability particularly well-suited to this format.
In addition, you may want to limit cards which allow you to search your library (excepting cards which allow you to search for basic lands, of course), as in my experience they ruin a lot of the fun and unpredictability. I used to have several in the stack, but at best they added little and at worst you'd get people cherry picking the best cards in the stack.
And of course don't forget all the other stuff out there you could add. I tried Vanguard for a while, but personally I didn't care for it. Planechase has been a solid addition to my stack, and I've crafted some rules to integrate Archenemy into it as well (though they're yet untested, I've only played one game with them).
Spoils of Victory
As I mentioned, one of my rules is that in a game with more than two players*, the winner gets to sign a card. This is one of my favorite parts of the stack, and I love drawing one of the signed cards and the memories it brings back. I've actually won with some of the cards I'd signed more than once, including Insurrection and Final Fortune.
Plus, it adds character to your stack, and ensures that you've got a chunk of gaming that's always going to be unique.
*I added the clause about more than two players after a friend of mine, annoyed that he'd never signed a card, basically forced me to play him over and over… After I won 5 or 6 times in a row, and signed as many cards, I realized it was getting a bit silly, so threw the rule in there mostly just to get him to give it up. Incidentally, he did eventually manage to win a game and sign a card… after the rule was already in place. I bent it to get him to shut up. 🙂

10 facts about Thin long hair
There are many things that you can do with thin long hair (astounding styles and cuts). You can get it cut in the center between your shoulders and arms and make a more dramatic part by asking for razor cut hair to get a sharp tense look.
You can have straight hair with or without blasts. If you have an extremely prominent temple at that point blasts are a decent option.
Why you should not cut you thin long hair
The issue with thin hair is there are relatively few options that are interested in you. Cutting your hair short isn't a decent decision for person with a major brow.
Rather you can get short blasts over your eyebrows and casing your face with layers.
When to use thin long hair
If you have a small temple then you can attempt shorter hair. Another option is for you to endeavor to make your hair thicken by utilizing thickening shampoos.
A popular one is Fudge Body Builder Shampoo. At that point attempt a parting to the side with the goal that you get yourself a kind of periphery.

WOBURN, MASSACHUSETTS, February 23, 2016 – Patriot Community Bank, located at 237 Lexington Street in Woburn, Massachusetts, is pleased to announce its upcoming ten year anniversary.
Formed in 2006 by President and CEO John O'Donnell along with several other community business members, Patriot Community Bank, a privately held stock institution, was built on the foundation of providing personal local service. Mr. O'Donnell and his fellow founders recognized the need for a community bank amidst the mergers and acquisitions occurring in the marketplace at the time. In creating Patriot, they placed a premium on becoming a banking institution that was truly personal in every sense, including local decision-making regarding Commercial and Residential mortgages, Term loans and Lines of Credit to name a few.
Patriot Community Bank finds its ability to respond to customer's needs in an expedient and beneficial manner to be most rewarding. Loans are approved swiftly and locally, allowing customers to move forward with their plans in a timely manner. The Bank is a true partner to all its customers and this uniquely personal level of customer service is reflected by the President's open door policy with all customers and prospects.
Despite challenges such as the recent economic downturn and vastly increased compliance requirements, Patriot Community Bank has grown steadily since its inception, acquiring over 3,000 customers and $165M in assets. The Bank was rated "One of the Safest Banks in America" by Investing Answers in 2012 and published by MSN.com.
Patriot looks to continue to grow the institution at a moderate and sensible pace, with the expectation of developing a second branch should the opportunity arise. As they search for a potential second location, the Bank looks towards reaching $250M in assets as part of their five year strategic plan to better serve its customers and the community.
According to President and CEO John O'Donnell: "Patriot Community Bank is most proud of the relationships it has built over the past ten years with customers and charitable organizations including the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce. Our goal is to continue serving the community's needs with this same high level of service well into the future."
Patriot Community Bank is excited to reflect on the past ten years and celebrate its loyal customers while looking ahead to its future of continued great achievements.

A blast has taken place in Pakistan's Lahore, near the assembly house of the Punjab province, in which several persons are feared dead. Pakistani media reported that the blast took place early this evening on Mall Road, a busy locality. A vehicle, presumably filled with explosives, had blown up while a protest was in progress in the area. Quoting Pakistani media, news reported that seven people, including police personnel, had died. Several others were injured.
Another Islamic Terrorist attack in Pakistan. This is another of the MANY Terrorists attacks that we never hear about. This time 20 people were killed and many more injured. It was during a protest march, but the protesters were not the Target...the Police were!
The explosion went off in Lahore's busy Mall Road during a rally attended by hundreds of pharmacists protesting against changes to a drug sale law outside the provincial assembly building.
Popular MESSAGE is circulating against Pakistan Govt. in Social Media:
- A country whose politicians are busy creating offshore properties with the tax money of its people rather than investing in policies to improve the security of its citizens should not be shocked at the news of a terrorist attack.
- A country whose political leaders have the audacity to negotiate with the same "TERRORISTS" who have bombed it should not be surprised when they hear a bomb blast!
- These same politicians have the nerve to say, "We have fought this fight against the terrorists among us, and will continue to fight it until we liberate our people of this cancer and avenge those who have laid down their lives for us."
- No, Nawaz Shareef! You have not fought any fight. Pakistan Army Jawans are the ones that have been putting their lives on the line to protect Pakistan from terrorism.
- You have done nothing other than organizing peace talks with Terrorists!
- You haven't been able to liberate your people from the cancer of illiteracy or hunger, and you speak of freeing them from terrorism!

Yesterday, it was discovered that the developer beta of iTunes Match showed options for both streaming and downloading content from the cloud to a user's device. Today, a new report from AllThingsD reveals that an Apple spokesperson claims that the service is not actually a streaming one.
While a video making the rounds today makes it seem as if Apple's upcoming iTunes Match service will stream music from Apple's servers to a user's device, that's not the case. An Apple spokesperson confirms that any music you want to access from your cloud-based lockerwill still need to be stored on your iPad, or iPhone, or whatever device you're using to listen to the song.
The service appears to be streaming because begins playback instantly, but instead of true streaming it is downloading and storing the file while beginning simultaneous playback. It's unknown whether the files are stored locally are of full quality or reduced bitrate. Apple has been "deliberately vague" about how the iTunes Match service works. "Apple's system, as it's currently constructed, still requires users to keep stuff on their machine in order to play with it," the report said. Kafka suggested that files that are not "downloaded" through iCloud but still played will sit in a "temporary cache" on the machine. However, according to MacRumors tracks appears to be downloaded to a local cache on the user's device, allowing for fast access to any portion of the tracks.
Once the track has been fully played, it remains available in that cache and can be re-accessed without needing to re-stream, but it is not considered permanently downloaded and is not counted as being in the device's music library.
According to the report, the lack of true steaming is not due to licensing hold-ups with record labels. The licenses were have said to been acquired in April.
The iTunes Match beta was made available to developers yesterday, and it allows users to "clone" their music library in the cloud by matching it with content available from iTunes. The service will cost $24.99 per year and is expected to launch this Fall.

Crowborough Common - The Official Site
Crowborough Common The Official Site
Golf Club
Contact Us
This new website is brought to you by the owner of Crowborough Common; Crowborough Beacon Golf Club Ltd. (CBGC) The Golf Club has been the legal landowner since
the purchase of the Common in 1906
, from the De La Warr estate. For over a century, the Golf Club has alone borne the full responsibility for the upkeep, maintenance, restoration, renovation, management, stewardship, husbandry, and protection and carried all the regular costs thereof.
During that time the Golf Club has worked closely with government and conservation bodies such as the Forestry Commission, High Weald AONB, the Wealden Heathland Initiative, and taken specialist advice when necessary, from the Sports Turf Research Institute, Thurlow Countryside Management and English Woodlands. CBGC has occasionally received grants towards the cost of restoration and stewardship of the Common via the Rural Payments Agency.
All of the woodland and heathland restoration and specific heathland management has been rigorously scrutinised, indeed as recently as 2004, Richard Allum of the Wealden Heathland Initiative said:- "I was extremely impressed with the Heathland areas and am delighted to see that you have tackled the restoration phase of the project so successfully. I was particularly encouraged by the amount of heather regeneration across most of the sites and the reappearance of some rare heathland specialist plants."
CBGC, a Community Amateur Sports Club predominantly made up of Crowborough residents, is a responsible landowner. The Board of Directors and its staff remain committed to the maintenance of a Top 100 golf course and the preservation of the entire 222 acres of Crowborough Common as an invaluable part of the 6,500 acres of Ashdown Forest.
There is no other website and no other organisation, with the responsibility for the safeguarding of this special place, or who bear the significant costs of the upkeep of 222 acres of heathland and woodland. Crowborough Common's security remains inextricably linked to the success of
Crowborough Beacon Golf Club
, recently voted the 68
best course in England and one is very much dependent upon the other. Fortunately, this lies in safe hands.
If you navigate the pages of this website you will be able to read the
about the ownership of the Common
, the latest news about the
rights of public access granted by the Club in 1936
and the current issues over Public Safety. You can also read about the trials and tribulations of maintaining not only a
golf course
, but a rare
heathland habitat.
Without this maintenance, the rare heathland would revert to
and with it, the famous
will disappear completely. That is not something that the Golf Club is prepared to allow. The reality is that it is the Golf Club that has the ultimate responsibility, one that it carries out with dedication. And it is the Golf Club that bears the cost.
Please enjoy the website.

A woman was among three persons killed in a motor vehicle collision along the Trelawny roadway on Monday afternoon.
The identity of the deceased have not yet been ascertained.
Reports are that about 1:45 pm, a Nissan Tiida, which was heading in the direction of Falmouth, collided with a Toyota Wish - being operated as a taxi and driving in the opposite direction along the Duncans main road.
The Nissan Tiida reportedly burst into flames, burning the two occupants beyond recognition.
One female passenger from the Toyota motorcar received multiple injuries and died on the spot.
Members of the traffic division of the Falmouth Police Station are investigating.


text: Pigeons are like big, flying rats. Thats what I read about about them somewhere and couldn't agree more. I have always wondered why in pest control we limit ourselves to getting rid of rats, ants, cockroaches, mites, bugs, etc. What about pigeons?? Aren't they equivalent to any other pests that bother us? Do we realize that they are equally capable of spreading diseases? Their faeces is known to contain bacteria and fungus which could cause lung infection and fatal fungal diseases. Pigeon droppings are dangerous. Cleaning it is also another big job that leaves us frustrated. Firstly, no house help will agree to do it and even if she does she will charge you an extra fee for it. You feel the helplessness as you fight the pigeons and lose – every single time.
