What is the Value of my Personal Injury Claim?
- April 23, 2013
- Personal Injury
No reputable lawyer can tell you what your case is worth. At some point in your case, an experienced lawyer may be able to give you a range of value that he or she believes your case falls into, but no one can tell you definitively what your case is worth. Only the jury can do that. There are numerous factors involved in determining what a case is worth. It is only after the case has been fully investigated and all pertinent facts are revealed that an experienced lawyer can advise you about case value. Lawyers are prohibited from promising you a certain amount of money for your claim, so if you run across one, seek another lawyer.

New Delhi: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has banned non-uniformed entry and use of mobile phones and toilets by its personnel inside the core security area of airports in the backdrop of alleged involvement of some of them in drugs and gold smuggling rackets
The aviation security headquarters of the paramilitary force in Delhi has issued a set of guidelines for its on-duty jawans and officers who guard 59 civil airports in the country, many of which are categorized as 'sensitive' and 'hyper-sensitive' from the security point of view.
CISF chief O P Singh confirmed that the force has issued some special directives for its staff working at airports, keeping in mind the overall security concerns of these facilities thronged by lakhs of passengers to fly to their destinations within the country and abroad, every day.
"There has been a ban for the past several years that no CISF personnel on airport security duty shifts will carry his or her mobile phone. These measures will now be enforced very strictly," the CISF director general told PTI.
The DG said the new measures were taken keeping in mind few past incidents where CISF personnel were found involved in alleged illegal activities. Recently, the force suspended two jawans deployed at Chennai and Bengaluru airports for their alleged connivance with gold and drugs couriers respectively.
As per the new directives, no force personnel will be allowed to enter the airport terminal, the security hold area where passengers are allowed after frisking and just before boarding and the customs area of the arrival hall, "unless they are deployed there.
The CISF personnel will also not be allowed to carry phones or any bag inside the airports and any exception to these rules will be made strictly after the airport security chief concerned issues a written permission.
Among the other dont's include: No entry for those personnel who are not in uniform, prohibiting them from using toilets in the security hold area and mandatory frisking of troops who enter the 'sterile' or the high security zone of the terminal for duty. The 'sterile' zone indicates the terminal area that is next to the tarmac where aircraft are parked before flying out or after landing.
"Entry of CISF personnel into the operational area should be allowed only after proper frisking and checking," the new directives said adding that"compromised" personnel can be used by terrorists to smuggle explosives or weapons into the sensitive terminal area or even inside the aircraft.
The directives said a 'special eye' has to be kept on personnel involved in bomb detection and disposal duty and those handling sniffer dogs as they are "not tied" to specific duty points and could be vulnerable or lured into the conduct of illegal activities.
The force has also asked its 59 Chief Airport Security Officers (CASOs) or the contingent heads to immediately implement these measures at their respective airports and depute a special counter-intelligence team to keep a check on the activity of its own personnel.
The jawans and officers in airport security duty have also been asked to mandatorily deposit their 'Aerodrome Entry Permit' identity cards issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) after their duty hours.
It is also planned to shift all the administrative offices of the force outside the airport terminal to "prevent unnecessary movement" of the force personnel.

"Here's the outside/here's the scene"
It's so strange. I've only been writing art songs for a fraction of the time I've been a music professional. So it's still exciting every time, especially performing for strangers. That's not the strange part. The strange part is the audience vibe since I've been doing it this way. It's like: "Wait, what?" and then "Huh!"
I've always felt different, and it's very satisfying to just be that way. I think people are hungry for that.
But I'm not sure anyone knows what to do with that.

text: Hello all! I am new to programming and game/app development. And I had a few questions and well, why not introduce myself on the go. Hi, I am Lance. I wanna be a programmer and indiegame developer (among many other things). Anything else you would like to know, feel free to check my profile, I'll try to give up enough information about me there. I recently started learning programmming, and came up with a few languages that were popular and nice for beginners. I decided to give Python a go and so far seems nice and friendly (specially with the modules), later I will get more in depth with it and try with Ruby, Java and/or Javascript. I was wondering what you guys though about Python as a language for a beginner and if it was good choice for someone that wants to be an indiegame/androir app developer one day. I know there is Ren'Py for example, and Python seems to have many nice choices for pretty basic games. I wanted to one day be able to use Javascript too for RPGMakerMV and also try with Unity/Unreal someday. Of course I am not stopping in Python. But tell me guys what do you think about that, and maybe share some of your experiences, tips, advices, anything that can help me while I still learn. x3 Oh, I am also looking to make friends on anywhere, friends I can share ideas and discuss em, on programming and game-making, maybe form a team one day. So if anyone is interested, page me.

Screw Cooking Your Holiday Turkey in an Oven, Just Use a Lamborghini [VIDEO]
Tired of that Lamborghini that you have in your garage collecting dust? Get some use out of it today by cooking the holiday bird with it.
This is not just any Lamborghini, this is the Lamborghini Aventador with a retail price of only $490,000. It has titanium exhaust system and when the driver lets off the gas it shoots flames out. So with such a cheap price tag, I do not see why all of us are not cooking our turkeys like this.
Tim Burton is the man that owns the car and no it is not that Tim Burton. In fact he says it only took him ten minutes to cook the turkey. All I know is if you told me you cooked a turkey using a car, I would not be trying it.

A recent survey by Hill's Pet Nutrition found that 60% of cat owners had experienced their cats weeing outside the litter tray.
There are many reasons to explain why cats might spray or urinate around the home; a lot of the time stress is the major trigger but sometimes the problems go deeper.
Spraying or urinating?
There is a difference between spraying – which is using urine to mark territory – and urinating in the home. Contrary to popular opinion, female cats sometimes spray and neutered male cats might too. Tom cats will almost always spray strong smelling urine and that's one of the main reasons for neutering.
Both spraying and urinating can be caused by disease but in many cases stress plays a major role in the development of the problem.
What can go wrong with a cat's bladder?
It is important that urinary problems are properly investigated by a vet. Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is an umbrella term that is often used and it can include a number of conditions that can cause cats to urinate around the home, strain to pass urine, or pass blood in their urine.
One of the most serious of the causes of FLUTD is urinary stones or calculi. These can cause blockages in the urinary tract so that cats cannot pass urine. If you suspect this condition, immediate veterinary assistance is required.
Another reason for blockages is the development of a 'plug' which is made up of cells, crystals and for want of a better word, sludge. Again plugs in the urethra (the tube to the bladder) can cause blockages.
Some cats can develop infections but actually bacterial infections are quite uncommon as a cause of FLUTD, although they can occur more frequently if there is an underlying condition like kidney disease or diabetes.
By far the most common cause of FLUTD is a condition called 'idiopathic cystitis', which is a cystitis-like condition in cats that is closely associated with stress.
"My cat Betty has a urinary problem a few times a year and honestly I swear it's when I am stressed or unwell. It's like she has a sixth sense."
By testing a urine sample your vet will already have some idea of what the cause might be, although further tests, such as blood samples of X-rays may be needed to make the ultimate diagnosis.
Stress management is key to tackling urinary problems in cats:
- Change can be stressful so keep to regular routines and habits
- Make your home feel secure by locking the cat flap
If your cat is scared of something outside (for instance another cat) a cat-flap represents a threat as it makes the indoors continuous with the outdoors. Locking the cat-flap might not be enough for some cats to accept that the risk has passed and a new door without a cat-flap might be the only solution.
3. Peace, love and pheromone diffusers create a happy home
A plug-in, or spray pheromone diffuser that releases chemical messages can persuade a cat that all is right with the world.
"I used a Feliway® plug in and spray and rubbed her favourite blanket against door frames in the new house to help her settle in and the problem resolved in a few days."
4. Create a secret escape with a custom hideaway
Many cats like their safe haven to be up high on top of a piece of furniture, while others simply want a corner of a quiet room. A tent, a cat igloo, or an upturned cardboard box with an entry hole, could be the perfect retreat your cat needs to keep calm.
5. Re-train without the stress by providing a quiet room with a litter tray
In this room your cat can learn to use the litter tray again without any distractions or fearful events. Give your cat attention and company during the re-training period. Once things have settled down, allow access to the rest of the house a room at a time.
Tips for urinary health:
Cats that have conditions like diabetes, kidney disease or urinary stones may have to be fed a Prescription Diet recommended by your vet. If your cat is prone to stress and repeated urinary problems relating to stress, then it might be helpful to follow these tips for urinary health, as well as reducing stress.
- Always provide access to plenty of fresh drinking water in multiple locations around the home
- Encourage activity and don't let your cat put on too much weight – both are major risk factors in the development of urinary problems
- Make the right choices when it comes to food
It's all about the science, including the levels of minerals, how the food affects the acidity of the urine, digestibility and the levels of antioxidants. New Science Plan Urinary Health has all the right credentials from optimal levels of magnesium, to high levels of antioxidants. It's available in a Hairball Control or a Sterilised Cat formula. Always make the change to a new food slowly to avoid causing stress.
Remember that stress is just one factor in the development of urinary problems in cats so, if in doubt, always check with your veterinary surgeon and seek urgent attention if your cat is having difficulty urinating.

In this Zojirushi NP-HBC10 article I want to talk specifically about this top of the range rice cooker. If you want a high quality machine that is able to make really great tasting rice as well as having a range of cooking settings, then the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 may well be the right choice for you. It has to be said though that this kitchen appliance is not cheap. Even when you go shopping on Amazon, it still costs over $250. This is quite a lot for a rice cooking machine. You can put the price in context when you realize that the cheapest machine start at around $10 and go up to about $400.
The Zojirushi NP-HBC10 rice cooker employs Micom technology. This is a standard feature on most Zojirushi devices. The price for their basic Micom range begins at just over $100. So we can see that the cost of this particular machine is much more than that. This is because it also includes their Induction Heating system. You cannot find one of these machine for under $200. What it is is a special heating system that is totally different from regular heating elements. There is no heating coil that heats up and then transmits heat to the heating bowl. Instead there is actually an electrical coil inside the unit that creates a magnetic field. This may sound strange. But what it does is turn the entire heating bowl itself into the heat source of the machine. There is no other style of rice cooker that cooks the rice so evenly.
Some things that I like about this device are that it comes with a GABA brown rice cooking setting. This is a particular method to prepare brown rice so that it is easier to digest and contains more available nutrition. One issue is that this cooking cycle actually takes about three hours! Also the removable inner lid helps to make cleaning up a breeze.Make sure that you read another Zojirushi NP-HBC10 review before you finalize your purchase. This is because it is good to get a range of opinion about what to buy. In fact, Amazon is a great place to look because they have reviews from customers who have actually bought this specific machine. Also Amazon often have the lowest price that you will be able to find anywhere online.

Fort Smith Board of Directors approve sewer rate increases
After vote, city leaders will host town hall meeting
The Fort Smith board of directors voted Tuesday to increase sewer rates. It was passed by the city directors with an emergency clause. The new rates take effect in May.
Utility customers can expect to see the higher bills starting in June, according to city officials.
The city has been ordered to update its sewer system by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The city needs to make more than $480 million in renovations to its sewer system to avoid being in violation of the Clean Water Act. That includes adding 75 new jobs to the city. To help pay for the upgrades, sewer rates are expected to triple by 2017.
After the vote, a town hall meeting will be held. During which, citizens can engage the mayor and board members on a personal level following the vote.
The mayor is asking for other ideas about ways to improve Fort Smith.
The town hall begins at 6 p.m. following the board of directors meeting at the Fort Smith Public School Service Center.

Kingdom Hearts fans are used to waiting. It was nearly a decade ago that Kingdom Hearts II was first released and nearing 15 years since the original Kingdom Hearts game was released. Yet in spite of all of that, fans have found their appetite for more Kingdom Hearts sated by spin-offs and remakes all on the long road to the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts III.
So what is it about Kingdom Hearts that keeps fans coming back for more? Why is it that a remake such as Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix becomes essential gaming for Kingdom Hearts fans new and old? It's quite simple really – this is Kingdom Hearts perfected. There is no two ways about it, this is the definitive Kingdom Hearts experience.
As far as the story of Kingdom Hearts goes, it is more than a little bit complicated. At times the series has become convoluted with the multiple spin-offs set in different time periods and worlds. The effects of that are clear here in Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix which definitely requires a bit of context and explanation. This game comprises 3 very distinct games in some rather interesting ways. The games included in this remastered remake are Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded.
The most basic form of the premise is that a young boy who wields a keyblade must traverse a number of worlds from the Disney universe and rid each world of the evil 'Heartless' and 'Nobodies'. Things are much more complex in the story however than just that. When you throw the sinister Organization XIII into the mix as well as the Birth By Sleep characters, there are a lot of people to follow throughout this multi-layered tale.
Personally I find Kingdom Hearts at its best when taken at face value. The digger you dive into this world the more it tends to fall apart at the seams due to the ill defined connection with the Disney universe. What exactly is the world of Kingdom Hearts anyways? Viewed simply at face value however the story of Kingdom Hearts is one of a heroic journey to hell and back all in hope of reuniting with the ones you hold dear. Which is a lovely story in and of itself, unfortunately Kingdom Hearts doesn't ever do things simple when it comes to its story.
As far as the gameplay goes, this is undoubtedly the most fine-tuned Kingdom Hearts game to date. The combat is fluid and the controls quickly become second nature with a very straight forward learning curve that gets you into the game without much adieu. The series has never felt this good and with this stream-lined gameplay, the series reaches greater heights than it has ever previously achieved.
Visually Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix is a jaw-dropping aesthetic feast. Having been remastered in gorgeous HD the series is brought to life in crisp richly coloured high definition. The series really has never quite looked this good and if this is how good the remix of Kingdom Hearts II looks, I can't wait to see Kingdom Hearts III in action upon its release.
The soundtrack and voice work on the game is top-notch in every regard. With the soaring vocal range of Utada Hikaru giving a raw and heartfelt soul to the game, Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix turns in an unforgettable aural experience. Furthermore the voice cast deserves commendation for their committed acting and powerful performances that really bring these characters to life with genuine soul.
Ultimately Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix winds up being the best Kingdom Hearts game to date, despite being a remake of games nearly a decade old. I guess that serves as a testament to how well the series has aged and the timeless nature of its story, gameplay and unforgettable cast of characters, both from the world of Disney and the realm of Square-Enix. This is without a doubt the definitive Kingdom Hearts experience and paired with the previous Remix release, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, this is the perfect way to revisit the series on the road to Kingdom Hearts III. For Kingdom Hearts fans, this is sanctuary.

Helping Florida's Businesses and Professionals Recover
Many west coast businesses saw a decline in their revenue in 2010, or had to restructure to remain afloat, due to the trickle-down effects of the BP oil spill. Through a class action Settlement Program, BP has acknowledged these economic harms, and is working to provide financial relief to Florida businesses with valid claims.
Most industries are eligible under the terms of the settlement.
The Settlement Program that received final approval on December 21, 2012, has fundamentally changed who qualifies for economic relief, and how companies are evaluated and compensated for the direct or indirect economic losses they suffered. However, most business owners and professionals simply do not know that they are specifically included within the terms of the new settlement agreement, and that they may well have valid claims.
The fact is, almost every type of business has been defined as eligible, but, only those who learn of the new Settlement Program and are evaluated will be compensated for their losses.
Qualifications are based largely on your geographic location. In Florida, there are three geographically-defined Zones that run along the state's west coast. (Include graphic of zone map). Each zone has different requirements with respect to how businesses may qualify for economic relief. Our team of attorneys and financial professionals will assist in gathering your financial documents to evaluate if a valid claim exists.
ERG provides professional representation, quality service, and absolute confidentiality.
As a professional law firm we take our responsibility to do things with the utmost professionalism very seriously. ERG has strived to ensure our clients have all of the information they need to make informed decisions, and the assured confidence that their financial information is protected and will remain confidential.
ERG Client Requirement/Intake Policies
As of November 1st, 2013, due to the approaching Program deadline, ERG can no longer accept the following:
1. Start-up business claims
2. Failed business claims
3. Claims that have previously been denied by the Program or another law firm
4. Clients that do not have existing profit and loss statements
A wide variety of businesses within the specified zones are eligible, such as:
- Builders and Contractors
- Real Estate brokers
- Marine industry representatives
- Physicians
- Retail stores
- Fishing Charter companies
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Law Firms
- Engineering Firms

- Non-profit organizations

Fulda Tyres
Chevrolet Trailblazer 2006 The Independent Aftermarket (IAM) Wholesale Department of Jaidah Automotive, the exclusive dealer of Chevrolet cars in Qatar, has held an official launch event for Fulda tyres in Doha. Jaidah Automotive, the sole distributor for Fulda tyres, introduced the brand to customers at the gathering. The launch […]
Fulda Tyres
Going back a few years now, I could not remember which of the big tyre companies owned Fulda.
When I first started my own tyre business, I became a Fulda tyre retailer. Hence, I do remember their excellent quality. Of course, we were also introduced, to Kelly-Springfield tyres around about the same time.
Kelly eventually became our number one tyre product. Thus, Fulda faded away. As a result, we had a very good business relationship with the Kelly-Springfield tyre company.
Fulda and Kelly were both owned by, Goodyear. Of course, who were recently merged with Dunlop tyres. Thus, to form one of the largest tyre manufacturers in the world. The complete owner base include the brands Dunlop, Goodyear, Fulda, Falken and Kelly.

The Downside to Your Sleeping Style
Everyone has a favorite sweet spot on their bed. You can't drift off into a blissful snore-filled sleep until the pillow has been adjusted to a perfect 63-degree angle, and your arm is placed in that one nook under the blanket. It may be hard work getting there, but it's totally worth it.
Despite all that, however, you're still sleeping wrong. There's something better out there for you.

This comic from Doghouse Diaries shows us the downsides to several common sleeping arrangements, and highlights the one position that rules them all.

List of Amlogic S912 Mini PC's currently available
Too many Amlogic S912 devices are getting announced these days so instead of writing an article for each I thought it would be more useful to have a single article focused on the currently available devices - and some coupons for them, while we're at it.
We've written a bit about the Amlogic S912 SoC in our comparison between the top mid-range SoC's available this fall for TV boxes: Amlogic S912 vs Realtek RTD1295 vs HiSilicon Hi3798C V200.
As mentioned there, S912 promises to bring the best BfYB ratio in all three SoC's, and it's available in more shapes and forms than the other two.
But wait, there are more :-) - since Sunvell managed to launch at least six of them, I've added a new article just with Sunvell's Amlogic S912 devices.
KM8 Pro
KM8 Pro
KM8 Pro is a recent addition to the Amlogic S912 devices list and it comes with dual-band wi-fi, Gigabit ethernet and 2G DDR3 RAM with 16G eMMC.
Currently listed on GearBest on presale at a very good price ($53.99) and the good news is that you can drop the price even more if you use the KM8Pro coupon to drop the price to $49.99.
Beelink GT1
Beelink GT1
Beelink's GT1 is among the most popular S912 devices already and for a good reason: the device comes with dual-band wi-fi, Gigabit ethernet and 2G DDR3 RAM with 16G eMMC.
Currently listed for $63.99 on GearBest on presale (with over 500 units sold, which is quite impressive). You can use the GBGT1 coupon to drop the price to $55.99.
Yoka KB2
Yoka KB2
Yoka is a new brand, but it already attracted some attention with their interesting offers: the KB2 has both Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band wi-fi and comes with the 32GB eMMc version. There are rumours that there might even be a Yoka KB2 version with 3GB of RAM.
Currently listed for $62.99 on GearBest on presale (few pieces left). You can use the GBKB2 coupon to drop the price to $63.99 after the presale offer.
H96 Pro
H96 Pro comes with one more GB of RAM than most other S912 devices and what looks to be a cool blue light.
Currently listed for $82.87 on GearBest on presale, deliveries should start around September 10th.
You can use the GBH96P3 coupon to drop the price to 68.99$ (16% off).
Or you can go with the "normal" 2GB/16GB version, and use the GBH96P2 coupon to drop the price to 62.99$.
R-Box Pro
R-Box pro is quite similar to the H96 Pro above, and it's currently listed for $79.99 on GearBest on presale.
You can use the GBRP3 coupon to drop the price to 69.99$ .
Or you can go with the "normal" 2GB/16GB version, and use the GBRP2 coupon to drop the price to 63.99$.
Nexbox A1
Nexbox A1
We actually covered this one in a previous article, as Nexbox was among the very first to announce their S912 device.
Currently listed for $75.99 on GearBest on presale.
You can use the GBNA1 coupon to drop the price to 69.99$ .
Acemax M12N
Acemax M12N
Also covered in a previous article is the Acemax M12N mini PC, which might not have a Gb LAN, but it does have a nicer looking case.
Currently listed for $69.99 on GearBest on presale.
Mecool BB2
Mecool BB2
This one does come with Gigabit Lan, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB Rom, a remote with IR learning, 2 USB 2.0 ports and an external wi-fi antenna (has dual-band wi-fi as well).
Unlike most devices Mecool BB2 comes with a 3-in-1 adapter (EU/US/UK) that helps avoid confusion when ordering it (you must choose the right one when ordering one of the others). Oh, there's also this: the logo on top will shine if the device is powered on.
Currently listed for $71.38 on GearBest on presale.
Rikomagic MK22
Rikomagic MK22
Rikomagic's S912 box has an interesting design, comes with the 2GB/16GB version and Gigabit/dual band WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, 2 USB ports and 1 USB OTG port.
Rikomagic MK22 is not available at the moment, we'll update this article when it will pop out online.
Yundoo Y2
Yundoo Y2
Yundoo is a new brand , they have two mini PC's so far and both are priced to sell.
Currently listed for just $62 on GearBest on presale.
Scishion V99
Scishion V99
Another Amlogic S912 device comes from a brand we covered before: Scishion.
Currently listed for just $70.49 on GearBest on presale.

"Strange" Rock
Look everybody! It's a strange rock!
Well, folks. I suppose we were wrong about aliens. Roswell has been contacted by extraterrestrials again. The Roswell Daily Record is reporting that they've found a "strange rock" that is raising questions.
A strange rock with unusual magnetic properties – deeply scored, with what appears to be moon phases, a solar eclipse and the depiction of a supernova — has been unearthed on the outskirts of Roswell. Its discovery has startled researchers, scientists and all who have examined it.
If proven to be of extraterrestrial origin, it will mark the second time in less than a century that the Roswell area has received communications from outer space.
Roswell Mayor Sam D. LaGrone, who actually saw and touched the rock over the weekend, said, "It is a very strange looking rock…. I touched it, I felt it, and I just don't see how it could have been produced."
Well let's see… Maybe somebody… carved it in there? Hell, a Google search for "carved rocks" yields a company that will carve rocks for you. That's just a guess off the top of my head. Even if I hadn't made a possible guess, "I just don't see how it could have been produced" isn't a very good argument. If I could say "I just don't see how to solve this problem" on my Math homework I'm sure it'd get done a lot faster but I wouldn't actually gain anything.
"It retains its magnetic polarity by which it will spin a compass needle and register its magnetic field on meters," he said. The oval rock will also spin, depending on the position of a magnet over the image surface, he added.
You know… considering the fact that this rock is apparently made of iron makes that really unsurprising.
Priscilla Wolf, of Tijeras, a native American woman known to have "powers," visited the site were the rock was found last weekend, and said she felt a vibration in her hands when she held the rock, and that "light came down from the skies" when the rock was deposited at the site.
First, I'm going to take issue with the wording of the first sentence. It says that she is "known" to have powers. There is a difference between saying "known" to have powers and "believed" to have powers. Knowledge is something that you can prove. Belief is something that you pretty much have faith in. Where is the proof that she has powers? If she had proof, wouldn't she have won James Randi's Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge and shaken the foundations of physics?
Secondly, why should we take her word for it? She could just be saying stuff so that we don't question her "powers." Even if she is sincere in "feeling a vibration" that could be nothing more than a subjective experience. Human senses can be easily fooled. Phil linked to a bunch of optical illusions earlier today.
Who knows? It could just be the power of suggestion.
Once in the 8th grade we were learning how to identify different rocks. My friend picked up one which we were having quite a lot of trouble identifying and held it in her hand for a while. She reported that she felt a strange electric feeling after holding it for a while and based on that thought it was whatever they use to make batteries.
Turns out it was just galena.
It may be considered insensitive to say "it's all just in your head" but it's something that happens to all of us. We shouldn't feel bad about ourselves just for being human and inevitably feeling things that aren't there. After all, that's what skepticism is for. It's there to help us see through the mists of illusion.
Thank you, Roswell, for the continuance of putting forth solid evidence for extraterrestrial visitation.

There is a difference between saying "known" to have powers and "believed" to have powers. Knowledge is something that you can prove. Belief is something that you pretty much have faith in. Where is the proof that she has powers?
Here, here. That's a linguistic pet peeve of mine as well. I can say that I'm "known to be a genius." It doesn't mean I'm actually smart enough to balance my checkbook without keeping an accountant on retainer.
*shakes head* That is one messed-up town. Good for a laugh if you're passing through, but I really feel bad for the poor kids who have to grow up surrounded by all that nonsense.
I'd believe this if it were a part of the last Indiana Jones movie, but otherwise … yeah, not so much.
Well I was skeptical at first. But then the Mayor said, "It is a very strange looking rock…. I touched it, I felt it, and I just don't see how it could have been produced."
Obviously, it must be aliens!
You think with the gas prices up, the tourist trade might be a little bit down in Roswell?
Naaaah… aliens!
Oh yes, I'm really convinced now…I dunno, can you see the moon phases and solar eclipses and supernovae that they're talking about? Sortof like Phil's pareidolia (sp?)posts. Hmpf.
On an equally skeptic note, I watched a show/documentary on ESP. Meh. Not convinced. They actually showed some legit experiments that proved that 'psychics' used in criminal cases had a success rate comparable to that of college students that volunteered their assistance. Well, actually, both groups were given a photo of the crime scene and asked to give their 'impressions' on it.
The rest of it just quoted some anecdotes about the successes of psychics, and then got into some strange bit about quantum physics and consciousness, which was entirely speculative and not evidence based. I just sat there shaking my head through the entire thing. Wonderful exercise in skepticism though.
P.S. Can someone tell computer illiterate me how to stick a picture undermeath/next to your name (like in the comments?)
See, I like how aliens have the technology to traverse the galaxy at transrelative speeds, navigate the cosmos flawlessly, AND then forget their rock, with the phases of our moon chiseled into it. Seems perfectly reasonable. My vote is that it is alien dog coprolite.
Hi Joy! To get an avatar, just go to http://www.gravatar.com and create a free account using the same email you use here. Upload a pic there, and it will automatically appear here!
This kind of thing always reminds me of ghostbusters. To paraphrase Dr. Venkman, "You're right, no HUMAN would carve rocks like this…"
They're right! No HUMAN BEING would carve a rock like that!
You know, if I weren't such dyed-in-the-wool fundamentalist Darwinist, I'd say that rock had a supernatural intelligent designer.
Dagnabbit…sorry able-x! Didn't see ya there.
Thanks Rebecca!
truthwalker: Then again, if these aliens really did exist, and they lived across the galaxy, why would they carve phases of our moon and our solar eclipses into their rocks? This MUST imply a benificent intelligent designer who put these rocks on Earth just to show His Oh-So-Holy-And-Magnificent Love for us! Ignore the leaps of faith and faulty logic and shoddy evidence and lack of experiments and contrasting anecdotes… (Just to make this clear, I fully support SETI and projects like it, but I don't at all enjoy this alien visitation crap)
Elles, I'd like to thank you for being a great role model for teen skeptics here. I thought I'd just let you know that after I read about you doing volunteer work at your local science museum in a post on your blog, I went to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philly and asked about volunteer opportunities (which I hadn't known about earlier). I just sent in my application and I don't know what will come of it, but hearing about your work was kinda like the catalyst. I'm still gushing in my head (I'm probably an undiagnosed schizo case) about the volunteer work, though I'm not sure where I'll find the time.
But it's so pretty! And it's all, you know, symmetrical, and carved, and kind of mystical-looking. And since we know that HUMANS don't produce that kind of art, and of course we don't have the technology to carve stone, it MUST be aliens!
If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and lives near people who are known to have "powers", it is therefore a phoenix. Works for me …
I emailed the linked rock carvers, and asked them just how difficult a project like this would be. I can't wait to hear what they have to say.
"Zulkowski said the investigators where so impressed, they presented the rock to a number of experts, including prominent New Mexico anthropologists"
Um, just who are these prominent anthropologists? No names? Are they afraid of being "silenced" by the Men In Black?
Bob: Yes and no, it's the Elders of the Evil Atheist/Big Science Conspiracy (TM) that will silence the dissenting voices of the scienftific community by denying them tenure and firing them (obviously for no reason at all) in order to advance the Atheists Plan For Global Domination! 😉
It's quite obvious that the aliens who created this rock have a starship that is caught in a Tyken's Rift. You see, they carved those two moons as a roundabout way of requesting that we shoot all our available helium into space. When their ship detects this helium, they'll launch their own alien substance into the helium cloud to cause a massive explosion which will free their ship. Either that, or the fact that the rock is made of iron indicates that they want us to blast the song "Iron Man" into space so they can rock out. Either way, I would suggest making it so.
I never get over stuff like this, and I never will. That so many can look at an OBVIOUSLY FAKED artifact and not feel the slightest twinge of skepticism absolutely blows my mind right out of my skull.
Why? Because they hold us to such a high standard of disproof, and yet their standard of proof is so low that some carved rocks constitute concrete evidence that aliens have visited earth. It's like how the church demands one disprove God in order to justify disbelieving, but they don't require that one prove God in order to believe.
That "rock" looks like kiln-fired clay/ceramic/terra cotta.

By 2009, when Zimbabwe's central bank gave up on controlling inflation, its largest currency was the 100 trillion-dollar bill–barely enough for bus fare in Harare and not even worth the paper needed to print it. However, that 100 trillion-dollar note (that's "1" plus 14 zeros) has turned out to be a great investment for several astute traders in London and New Zealand, who bought thousands of them at pennies on the trillion and now report brisk sales to collectors on eBay at US$30 to $40 a note–a six-year return on investment, according to a May report in London's The Guardian, of nearly 1,500 percent.
Long-divorced Henry Peisch, 56, has seven children, but only one is still living with his ex-wife (who had originally been awarded $581 monthly support for all seven). (Three children are now independent, and three others successfully petitioned courts to live with Henry.) The resultant hardship (the $581 remains in effect) caused Henry to ask the Bergen County, New Jersey, Family Court several times for a "hardship" hearing, which the court denied (thus even defying the New Jersey Supreme Court). On April 8, Family Court judge Gary Wilcox, noting Peisch's appearance on a related matter, spontaneously "granted" him his "ability to pay" hearing (with thus no opportunity for witnesses or evidence-gathering)–and summarily jailed him for missing some $581 payments (because, the judge concluded, he did not "believe" Peisch's hardship claims).
U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, in a May publication deriding the value of certain federally funded research, highlighted several recent National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation projects, such as the $13 million for exploring musical preferences of monkeys and chimpanzees; the $1.1 million judging whether cheerleaders are more attractive seen as a squad than individually; the $390,000 to determine how many shakes a wet dog needs to feel dry; and the $5 million to learn whether drunk birds slur when they sing. (Also strangely included was the actually valuable study by Michael Smith of Cornell University ranking where on the human body a bee sting was most painful. He found, from personal testing, that "on the penis" was only the third worst–research that brought Smith a prestigious Ig Nobel prize last year.)
Yahoo News Australia reported (with photos) a man in Tallebudgera Creek on the country's Gold Coast swimming with his pet snake. The man, standing chest-deep in water, would toss the snake (apparently a carpet python) a few feet and, according to the videos, the snake would swim back to him each time. (In the man's other hand, of course: beer.) And in April, police in Broome (in Australia's far northwest) on traffic patrol stopped a 27-year-old man whose "several" children, including one infant, were unrestrained in his car while "cartons of beer" were "buckled into car seats," according to an Australian Broadcasting Corp. report. He faces several charges, including driving on a suspended license.
Jai Dara Latto, 23, won the title Miss Transgender UK last September in London, but in February organizers stripped her of the title as being insufficiently trans, passing the crown to Daisy Bell. Officials had spotted Latto (who has worked as a "drag queen") in a BBC documentary wearing boxer shorts, and since switching underwear is usually such a crucial step for transgenders, officials concluded that Latto must not yet have made a sufficient-enough commitment to qualify for the title.
In a recent book, biologist Jennifer Ackerman noted the extraordinary intelligence of birds–attributed to the dense packing of neurons in their equivalent of humans' cerebral cortex (according to an April Wall Street Journal review of Ackerman's The Genius of Birds). For example, the New Caledonia crow, among others, knows how to make and use hooked tools to hide food (and retrieve it from tricky-to-reach places), and the blue jay and others, which store many thousands of seeds during autumn, also steal seeds from less-vigilant birds–and they even return to re-hide food if they sense they have been spotted storing it earlier. Additionally, of course, the birds' equivalent of the human larynx is so finely tuned as to be regarded as the most sophisticated sound in all of nature.
The president of the New England Organ Bank told U.S. News & World Report recently that she attributes the enormous upsurge in donations in recent years to the opiod "epidemic" that has produced a similarly enormous upsurge in fatal overdoses. Now, one out of every 11 donated organs comes as a result of the overdosing that in 2014 claimed over 47,000 lives. (An organ-sharing organization's chief medical officer reminds that all organ donations are carefully screened, especially those acquired from overdose deaths.)
Nicole Bjanes, casually zipping along Interstate 4 in Volusia County around noon on May 9, saw a red-eared slider turtle come sailing through the air and crash into her windshield, sending her car off the road. The Florida Highway Patrol said the turtle had become airborne after being hit by another car. (It was apparently unhurt and swam away when a firefighter released it into a nearby pond.) And on May 10, police in Key West responded to a caller at the scene of a giant banyan tree. A woman had attempted to climb the tree but had fallen among the vertical roots, making her barely visible. Said a proud police spokesperson, "They popped her out like a cork."

I justing reading this post. I drive a vw jetta tdi low to mid 40s combine driving and I have a sunroof. If want a nice car with a sunroof test drive vw diesel. I treavel 600mile on a tank of gas. Don
My RX400h has a sunroof as standard equipment. I use it frequently.
I have a 2006 Prius on order and am seriously considering adding a sunroof to it...
- Anyone know of any issues in adding a sunroof to the Prius (affecting wires, cables, infrastructure, airbags, etc.)?
- Any suggestions on how to get a sunroof installed?
The solar panel would be very kewl too. I'm wondering if that post about the solar panel was just a comment of fiction or a possibility in reality...
- If it's a possibility, any suggestions on how'd I go about getting a solar panel installed?
They mod the Scion to the hilt, I say why not add some after-market urban flare to the Prius!
The roof, the roof...
Driving around the San Francisco Bay area a few days, I saw a Honda Civic Hybrid with a sunroof. Must have been an after-market add-on.
Who can wait? I did a little more Googling and unf, it doesn't sound like there's an immediate, cost-effecitve way to add solar (or plug-in) power to the Prius. But there IS progress in that direction! Some links with commentaries below...
Solar-Powered Toyota Prius Project - http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005...-powered_t.php
Solar Energy Kit Gives Prius 10% Better Mileage - http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com...story?id=40320
How We Green-Tuned an '04 Prius into a PRIUS+ Plug-In Hybrid! - http://www.calcars.org/priusplus.html
Now, I'd be glad to generate some vitamin D myself with a sun roof if I could find something on the web about it!
Roof, the Renewable Energy Access website you mention has a comments section which discusses the roof-mounted solar cells as being a fraud. For an investment of over $2000, they generate 1/25 horsepower, which is utterly insignificant.
I've read the new Camry hybrid will have a sunroof as an added cost option.
The sunroof, on the smaller cars such as the Prius ad civic, which I have recently purchased, will sacrifice the structural integrity of the vehicle and thus safety features won't be nearly as effective, i.e. side curtain airbags, crumple zones. A sun roof has always been a "must have" feature for me, but the sacrifice is well worth it. My advice is if you want sun so badly, go for a walk.
I just bought a slightly used 05 Escape hybrid, trading in my 98 Passport in on it. Man do I miss that sunroof. Having said that though, I know that glass is heavier than metal and I will accept the lighter weight/lack of sun of my FEH for the sake of better mpg.
i'm waiting too! this is the car i'm waiting for:
1. hybrid
2. lightweight with good mpg, and also qualifying for stickers for carpool lane
3. sunroof
4. high safety ratings
until then my safe honda accord with sunroof will do me fine.

Coastal Music Services
Hi there everyone....Happy Fall. This is it, modern technology has gotten the best of me. Did a MS dance several weeks ago, and during the second hour of the dance I sensed something was wrong. Come to find out, 5 girls were cyberbullying and thus ended up being banned from dances the rest of the year. Kids were leaving the cafe, going to the restrooms, and screwing around. Attendance was not that high. Did a sweet 16 Saturday..They texted requests, some of which the birthday girls mother said "do not play if no clean version". I had a killer laser show, projector with Happy Birthday for selfies, and played he songs on the list she requested ahead of time. Dance was until 10, most were heading out by 9:30. Come to find out, they were having another party after I was done. The birthday girl along with her parents were happy with my services, but asked around 8:30, whats going on, don't these kids know how to dance? Is this now typical considering cells and social media? Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Nancy from CMS

Are you looking for an adorable handmade gift for a special little girl in your life? This DIY mini dollhouse tutorial is made inside a paper mache suitcase and is such a fun toy for little girls.
Supplies needed to make this dollhouse tutorial:
- Paper Mache Box with Handle
- Assorted Scrapbook Paper
- Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Hot Glue Gun
- Craft Felt
Begin by painting both the outside and the inside of the box with craft paint.
To add more interest, you can also cover all or part of the box with scrapbook paper. Attach the paper with a glue stick and then carefully cut around the edges with a razor blade to ensure it fit perfectly.
Next is the most fun part… designing your dollhouse interior! There are two ways you can do this… you can make one scene that is permanently attached or you could make furniture for several different rooms (living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.) and let your child change things around. Since I made this for my three year old, I kept it simple and only made one scene.
I chose a bedroom scene with a bed, dresser and a spot to hang extra doll clothes and I attached the bed to the inside of the lid and made a little pillow and blanket from craft felt. I chose to glue the pillow and one edge of the blanket to the box so that they wouldn't get lost.
The dresser, clock and pictures are all made from scrapbook paper. The little handles on the dresser are tiny silver beads! Since the doll clothes are flat and can't actually hang on hangers, I clipped mini clothespins to the small hangers. They hang from a mini wooden spool that's glued to the box.
Add as many or as few details as you'd like… that's the fun of a project like this!
I hope you enjoyed this dollhouse tutorial. And if you need a doll to enjoy this new house, check out this muslin handmade dolls project!

Current Newswire:
Community: Top 500 Supercomputers Increasingly Turning to Linux and Open SourceJun 10, 2004, 04:00 (14 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Imran William Smith)
[ Thanks to Imran William Smith for this article. ]
The top 500 list of supercomputers is published every six months. The last publication was in November 2003, the next will be later this month.
I decided to investigate how many of the very fastest of these machines use Linux or another Open Source operating system. Is Open Source really leading innovation in this area? Unfortunately, it's the one bit of information that's not included on the top500 web pages themselves.
However, a bit of digging quickly reveals the results. Here's the results of my investigation. Please note that most of this information is from the list itself, I have just added information about the operating system and a reference URL.
In summary, 3 of the top 5 use an open source OS, 5 of the top 10, and 7 of the top 20. Almost all open source OS used are Linux, with the brief exception of 1 Mac OS X. It's interesting how IBM and HP, for all their promotion of open source, prefer to sell their proprietary operating systems with the high-end hardware. Will that change? Apparently, Linux can run on the pSeries 690, which has 3 of the top 20 slots.
Soon, this table will need updating, based on the June top500 list. If recent press releases are to be believed, Linux will take even more of the top slots.

Madan who made debut with Pellaina Kothalo is directing a film titled Gunde Jhallumandi with Uday Kiran and Aditi Sharma in the main leads. Paruchuri Sivarama Krishna produces this film.
Speaking on the occasion producer Paruchuri Sivarama Prasad said, "We did the muhurat of this film on 3 December. We completed 95% of the shooting by now. I met Madan after watching Aa Naluguru and Pellaina Kothalo. When I wanted to make a college story, Madan narrated this script to me. Since this film has lots of importance for music, we went for MM Keeravani. Keeravani read the script before accepting the project."
Director Madan said, "This film does not have any social message like my earlier works. I prepared this script from different point of view. The title itself speaks about the feelings we dealt in the film. It is a feel good film. The innocence among us is reflected in the lead characters of the film. MM Keeravani's music is a great asset. He involved in the story of the film as well. I worked in the direction department for Uday Kiran's Manasantha Nuvve. You can see a lot of improvement in the work of Uday Kiran in this film. Chaitanya Prasad penned lyrics the way I wanted them to be. Producer gave me lot of freedom."
Music director Keeravani said, "I worked for over 200 films so far. There could be 25 films for which I took the songs to my home and listened there to enjoy them. Gunde Jhallumandi belongs to that list. Madan is equally good at writing and directing. I am scoring for the first time to an Uday Kiran's film. I had some tunes reserved for him in the past and I used those tunes for this film."
Uday Kiran said, "I am doing the role of a college student. There is lot of scope for performance in this film. It is a thrilling experience to work in Keeravani music direction. Madan is doing excellent job. I am confident of commercial success of the film."
