BOULDER, CO - October 15, 2008
Webroot, a leading provider of security solutions for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, has detected a new malicious download disguised as a legitimate multimedia message service (MMS).
"We are now seeing hackers use the Verizon Wireless name to send spam e-mails to PC users who unknowingly open a fake MMS which launches a Trojan to drop infected files onto their computers," said Paul Piccard, director of Threat Research, Webroot. "Hackers typically use downloads like this to harvest users' personal information – not to mention soak up significant bandwidth from users' computers."
PC users targeted with this fraudulent spam receive a MMS that, when opened, activates the download of a file called "VerizonMMS.4837192." Once downloaded, the file instantly infects the PC with malware and also establishes connections to external Web sites that infect the computer with additional malware.
"While it's no surprise hackers continue to evolve how they attack PC users, the sheer volume of Verizon Wireless customers who may be deceived by this new threat means its effect may be significant," said Paul Lipman, Webroot's senior vice president and general manager of Consumer Business. "Webroot is committed to helping consumers avoid being compromised by this and any other threat. In addition to identifying and bringing new threats to light, we always advise PC users to have an up-to-date, best-in-class antispyware, antivirus and firewall software in place to secure personal and confidential information."
Webroot recommends several steps to users to prevent this type of malware attack:
- Always have a current version of antispyware, antivirus and firewall product;
- Make sure the computer is up to date by always installing the latest Microsoft or Apple security updates;
- Never download free products or purchase them from unknown Web sites and vendors, or peer to peer networks;
- Download videos and other multimedia files only from known and trusted Web sites or blogs; and
- Use a credit card that has sufficient fraud protection when shopping and never use a debit card online.

Douglas Fairbanks Sr.(1883-1939) and Mary Pickford (1892-1979) used a bookplate reflecting their Hollywood roles.
I wrote to Douglas Fairbanks Jr.(1909-2000) when he was still alive and he sent me an autographed bookplate.The plate was engraved by A.W. Turpin
Clark Gable (1901-1960) is certainly well known and will not be soon forgotten. I have included him in the compost pile because he was an interesting case study. He was an avid reader and read a book a day. The subject matter was quite eclectic , from fishing to Thoreau. He married six times and changed bookplates at least once. Kathleen was his fifth wife.
Click On Images to Enlarge The firm of J.E. Caldwell & Co. in Philadelphia contacted Rockwell Kent to design a bookplate for Nelson Eddy(1901-1967) but Mr. Eddy balked at the price of $250.00 so they hired a Rockwell Kent wannabee to design his plate. As I mentioned last week , film clips of the celebrities you never heard of can be seen on http://www.youtube.com/
Bookplate News Of the Week: Andy English has self- published a remarkable hand- made book about 25 of his bookplates. It includes many tip-ins and the limited edition will be sold out quickly.
See you next week with chapter three of Tales from the Hollywood compost pile.

Local journalist Shaimaa Awad told The Associated Press on Saturday that security forces rounded up protesters inside al-Fatah mosque, located in Cairo's central Ramses Square.
The sound of gunfire could be heard in the background.
Egypt's official news agency MENA reported that gunmen opened fire on security forces from the mosque's minaret. Local television stations broadcast live footage of soldiers firing assault rifles at the minaret.
The mosque served as a field hospital and morgue following clashes Friday in the area. The protesters barricaded themselves inside overnight out of fears of being beaten by vigilante mobs or being arrested by authorities.
Footage from within the mosque shows protesters coughing and running to get away from tear gas which was fired inside.

|A sunny day to look for flowers, rocks and sticks!
I'm sorry I didn't get to this more quickly! We have had a very busy week. It's been good, but BUSY! We made our Easter mountain, and tonight we attended our church's Maundy Thursday service (a highlight in my year!). I will not take time now to repeat detailed descriptions on our Easter mountain, but just put up a few pictures I have taken as well as the link to where I wrote about this in the past.
|Decorating the Easter mountain
I want to set the table using real china, silver and goblets, and as a centerpiece put our Easter mountain as well as a small wood cross and a red rose. As we talk about Jesus dying for our sins, I will let the kids help me rip off the petals and attach them to the cross with push pins, so we can visibly see something beautiful and perfect be destroyed like Jesus was. I got this idea from Jessalyn at Desiring Virtue, and you can read her post and see her beautiful pictures here.
For food, I will set a large tray with the following: slices of cheese, cut into a cross shape, olives (for the mount of Olives where Jesus prayed), carrots cut in points like thorns, matzo bread (which shows stripes and piercings illustration how Jesus was hurt -- also, we break it, as Jesus' body was broken), grape juice (which reminds us of his blood poured out), small tomatoes (which remind us of the stone -- you could use anything round) and a lamb cake (which reminds us of the spotless Lamb who was slain). My thinking in making it all on a tray is that it will prevent small kids from complaining about what food they don't like, and instead focus on the descriptions. I also thought of adding some elements of a Passover Seder like parsely and salt water, but we'll see if I get to that!
I don't plan to read a TON to the kids, but just show them the food, and pray a serious prayer of thanksgiving and maybe read one good book to them while they eat. We are also planning to let the kids make Resurrection rolls after we eat.
Hopefully my ideas (borrowed from other people mostly) will inspire you to have good conversations with your kids on Good Friday!
|Table set all pretty!
|Kids eating the food -- not sure if anyone but Susie actually liked what they ate, but nobody complained.
|Lamb cake for dessert -- will not win me any awards but my kids thought it was awesome.
|Showing his Resurrection roll
|Susie's turned out nice and open and empty! (note, after dinner, there was a bit of playtime, thus the costume)
|Ellie, rolling her marshmallow. I was impressed, she is only 2 and she did a great job!


text: Staff on February 16, 2012 1 Comment Mention a wine cooler, and my mind wanders to the French countryside, maybe say… Burgundy. A beautiful wine country, just south of Paris, Burgundy grows fine grapes to make exceptional Pinot Noir red wines and Chardonnay white wines. Yes, I have actually visited there once. A bit of brie, a picnic basket and a beautiful smile….ok, I have to get back to work! EdgeStar carries a wide variety of wine coolers, both the thermoelectric, or TE coolers, and the more familiar compressor-based ones. It is very important to note that no matter which one you choose certain guidelines must be observed. The first item of note is which way the door will swing. Factory configurations usually have it set to open from left to right, and occasionally, customers want the door to swing the other way, from right to left. Happily, the vast majority of the EdgeStar wine cooler line allows the customer to do exactly that. The next consideration will be placement of the unit. Most customers prefer to place the unit in such a fashion that it appears to have been built in, under a counter, or in a cabinet. The compressor-based units are preferred candidates, because they vent from the front at the bottom of the cooler. With that in mind, I present a bit of advice for the value minded customer that purchases one of our fine EdgeStar thermoelectric coolers to reproduce the exact same look in their kitchen… The thermoelectric series of wine coolers are an excellent product, but if you build them in, or put them under a counter, they will overheat, and will live a very short life. This is due to the fact that they generate a LOT of heat from the back of the unit, and although the cooling is fan forced, they absolutely must be installed in a free standing environment. We mean it, folks, no joke. Leveling is very important when installing one of our wine coolers, especially the compressor-based ones. An unbalanced compressor will be noisy and will fail early. Use a bubble level to make sure the leveling is done correctly, and try to use a level that has a magnetic strip attached, that's handy for not only horizontal level, but vertical leveling as well. Regular cleaning of both the intake and exhaust grills on both types of coolers is also very important, I recommend doing a complete cleaning at least once every 6 months. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment for best results. Last but not least, I recommend using a surge protector on all of our wine coolers, but especially the thermoelectric units. Most kitchens these days have outlets that are GFCI protected (think wine cooler falling in the pool), but not surge protected. Surge protectors can be picked up at most retail electronic stores at reasonable prices. The really good protectors will stop passing power when they are worn out. That's all for this week. See you later! Dave

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Patience will be the key if West Indies are to trounce New Zealand in the upcoming three-Test series, says stroke-maker Marlon Samuels.
The elegant right-hander believes that with Caribbean pitches having become low and slow, batsmen will have to spend time grafting, as there will be no easy runs available.
He said the Windies bowlers would also have to be patient in order to reap success.
"The pitches in the Caribbean are a bit on the slow side so it [will depend on] who can occupy the crease the longest and win more sessions," Samuels said.
"Patience will be the most important thing for this series for the batsmen and bowlers. (You will have to) bowl in good areas and be patient in every way that is possible to win, because it is going to be a tough series.
"These pitches get flat, sometimes, and they are still on the slow side, so whosoever is more patient will come out on top."
Samuels is part of the 13-man West Indies squad that face the Kiwis in the first Test starting on Sunday at Sabina Park in Kingston. His last Test outing before his home crowd in Jamaica came against New Zealand two years ago when he plundered 123 and 52 as West Indies scored an emphatic five-wicket victory to make a clean sweep of the two-match series.
Samuels was not as prolific, however, on the Caribbean side's return tour to New Zealand last December, managing just 117 runs from six innings.
The 33-year-old has suffered a few injury setbacks but says the recent two-week camp here helped to improve his fitness.
"There's been a lot of running in the camp, a lot of fitness work and stuff like that," Samuels explained.
"For me, it helps a lot because right now I've been through quite a few injuries so it's for me to get my fitness up where I really want it to be and I guess I'm getting there … so it's for me to continue to work as hard as possible."
He said a plus during the camp was getting the chance to speak to West Indies legends, Sir Garry Sobers and Sir Vivian Richards. Sir Garry worked with the team as a consultant while Sir Viv was attached to the High Performance Centre in a similar role.
"It's always a lot of encouragement talking to Mr Sobers. He always has wonderful words to share with me; nothing has changed over the years, and I humbly grasp all he has to say," said Samuels, who struck an aggressive hundred during the final practice game against a Barbados Select XI earlier this week.
"I've been seeing Viv quite a bit. I went over to the hotel and spent some time over there chatting with Viv. He had a lot to say as usual … a lot of cricketers should get these opportunities as well to use these wise words from these wise men."
The 13-man squad left for Jamaica on Wednesday to continue preparation for the first Test.

More than two years back I wrote an article on how two implement elegant CRUD in Struts2. Actually I had to devote two articles on that subject because the topic was so broad. Today I have taken much more lightweight and modern approach with a set of popular and well established frameworks and libraries.
Namely, we will use Spring MVC on the back-end to provide REST interface to our resources, fabulous jqGrid plugin for jQuery to render tabular grids (and much more!) and we will wire up everything with a pinch of JavaScript and AJAX.

In early 1977, after years of discussion, scientific review, and debate, the
Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, led by Senator George McGovern,
recommended Dietary Goals for the American people. The Committee recommended
that the American diet
The issuance of the Dietary Goals was met with a great deal of debate and controversy
from both industry groups and the scientific community. These groups believed
the science might not have supported the specificity of the numbers in the Dietary
To support the credibility of the science used by the Committee, the Department
of Agriculture and, at that time, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
pulled together scientists from the two Departments and expertise from the scientific
community throughout the country. In February 1980, the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans brochure was issued collaboratively by the two Departments
and represented their points of view, at that time, on ways to build a healthful
diet and lifestyle.
Even though the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
might have been viewed as relatively innocuous and straightforward extrapolations
from the science base, they too were met with a fair amount of controversy. Some
of the controversy was generated from industry, some from the scientific community.
The debate, though, about the issuance of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
in 1980 led to report language that directed the two Departments to convene a
Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee to ensure that the capture of outside advice
was both formal and informal. Hence, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
established shortly after that directive was very helpful in the development
of the 1985 Dietary Guidelines in which relatively few changes were
made but which was issued with much less debate from either industry or the scientific
In 1990, with the passage of Public Law 101-445, Congress formally directed
the two Departments to issue the guidelines every 5 years. A Dietary Guidelines
Advisory Committee was established to assist in the preparations of the 1990,
1995, 2000, and now 2005 versions of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
While there has been a tremendous amount of consistency throughout those guidelines,
there have also been some notable changes throughout the years that reflect the
emerging science.
Thus, in over two decades, the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans has evolved
to become a broadly accepted document that reflects scientific consensus and
provides the statutory basis of Federal nutrition education efforts.

..this is a sterling piece of work that was criminally undervalued at the time, and deserves to be reappraised today…high quality songs to provide a sound with echoes of classic Small Faces and early 70s Pretty Things, Tubeway Army and a touch of Steve Harley…A true lost gem.
Record Collector (August 2005)
'Hour Glass' while retaining the short, sharp, almost Jam influenced post punk feel, is somewhat more eclectic than your average New Wave effort; yet is best appreciated in that context of the time.
Pete Feenstra. www.getreadytorock.com (July 2005)
…among the punkiest glam extravaganzas ever recorded…
Goldmine (July 2005)

Unique Audit Problems of Small Businesses that Operate under Managerial Dominance
Dan M. Guy*
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Many practitioners with small business clients believe that pronouncements of the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) are not responsive to their needs. Typically, the criticisms pertain to implementation problems stemming from existing statements on auditing standards. Commentators usually are not advocating that the profession should have two sets of generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS)—one set for public companies and another set for nonpublic companies. Rather, they ask questions like, how do you apply the guidance in SAS No. 12, Inquiry of a Client's Lawyer Concerning Litigation, Claims, and Assessments, if your client does not retain an attorney?
The purpose of this paper is to:
• Identify the characteristics of small businesses that generate unique audit problems.
• Briefly describe how the ASB is responding to the problem.
• Review existing AICPA and international guidance that addresses unique audit problems of small businesses.
• Review guidance contained in other published literature.

Missionary loses ALS battle, dies at 43
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is an update to a set of stories about the Harpers* that appeared Dec. 17, 2013, in Baptist Press: http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?id=41684, http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?id=41685,
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (BP) -- Mary Harper* didn't want to fight anymore. For months, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) had gradually robbed her body of muscle and strength. She resisted with exercise, dietary supplements and prayer.
But now, sitting in a wheelchair in the family's kitchen near Springfield, Mo., the 43-year-old mother of two was ready to yield. The disease had won. ALS had finally crushed her spirit.
"I'm tired," Mary told her husband, John,* as tears began to stream down her cheeks. "I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of y'all seeing me suffer."
Until that moment, there had been hope for a miracle. That God would heal Mary, or at least, stop the disease's progression. But as John listened to the weariness in his wife's voice, suddenly he knew -- the woman he had loved for the past 21 years was going to die.
It wasn't supposed to happen this way. Eight years ago, the Harpers uprooted their family and moved to a spiritually dark corner of Central Asia to spread the Gospel as Southern Baptist missionaries. By 2012, they were entering the prime of their ministry. That's when ALS changed everything.
Forced to return to the United States, Mary was given three to five years to live. But she worried she wouldn't last that long. Instead, she asked God for a single "good year" -- enough time to transition her family back to America and teach her teenage daughters, Lindsey* and Jessica,* how to make a home without her.
Cruel disease
ALS is a cruel disease. It attacks the nerves responsible for muscle movement, gradually paralyzing the body while sparing the mind. Many ALS victims eventually become "trapped" in their own bodies, unable to move, eat or even speak.
Mary's symptoms began with twitching in her arm and shoulder. By April 2013, she had lost the use of her right arm completely. She was growing weaker, too, and tired easily. Even small tasks, like putting away dishes, were a challenge. Soon, cooking, cleaning and laundry were all handed over to Lindsey, Jessica and John.
"She had such a servant's heart," John said. "But she wasn't able to serve. She had to be served."
Mary's condition continued to deteriorate rapidly. It was November 2013 when she told John she was tired of fighting. By then Mary could no longer dress, bathe or even use the bathroom by herself. She wore a scarf to hide the dramatic muscle loss in her neck and chest.
"She didn't want to go some places because I would have to feed her," John said. "It was embarrassing to her. She didn't want people to remember her that way."
ALS even took away simple pleasures. When they went to bed, Mary would often fall asleep with her head on John's chest and her arm across his waist. But her muscles were now too weak to hold that position without straining. So they held hands instead.
"It just killed me. It really hurt [to see her suffer]," he said. "She never complained about her inabilities. She got frustrated at herself ... [but] not mad at God."
Mary's homecoming
On the morning of Jan. 20, 2014, Mary was having trouble breathing. She couldn't seem to get enough air and felt like she would faint. She began choking sporadically. John was frightened.
"I asked her three times, 'Do you want me to call you an ambulance?'" he said. Each time she answered, "Why?"
"I think she knew she was going to die that day," he said. Mary's parents were already at the house; John's brother rushed to school to pick up Lindsey and Jessica. John was worried they wouldn't make it in time, but Mary held on.
Family and close friends came to say goodbye, too. They held Mary's hand, kissed her forehead and cried as she struggled to breathe. Ahsan* and Iman,* the Harpers' closest friends and ministry partners in Central Asia, called to pray with her.
"Go be with your God," John remembers telling Mary through his tears. "Quit fighting. Quit struggling."
As more time passed between breaths, her eyes closed. "Heaven is such a beautiful place," she said. Those were Mary's last words. She lost consciousness and died soon after.
"Blessed be the name of the Lord. Though He slay me, I will trust in Him," John cried out as he wept over her body. "And I kept saying, 'My sweet Mary. My sweet, sweet, Mary.' Because she was so sweet. Everybody loved her. She was easy to love."
People filled the church in Ozark, Mo., for Mary's funeral. Many shared stories with John of how Mary had personally impacted their lives, often with the truth from the Bible.
"Great is Thy Faithfulness" was sung at her request. "That was her testimony through all of this; that God had been faithful," John said. "Even in death, she is still sharing the Gospel."
Looking ahead
Today, the Harpers are learning to live with the hole left by Mary's absence. It's hard, but they've been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support they've received. People they barely know have brought meals, helped clean their house, even given special "love gifts," like a box of shotgun shells so Jessica could go hunting. Not to mention dozens of cards and letters from believers across the country offering encouragement and prayer.
John said some of the changes just feel weird -- like sleeping alone or not knowing whether to mark "married" or "single" on the visitor's card at his new church. "I just left it blank," he said.
He misses Mary's "beautiful green eyes," practical wisdom and ability to "straighten him out" with a single look. "Every weakness I had was her strength, and every weakness she had was my strength," he said. "And I will miss her until the day I die."
What will be hardest, he thinks, will be watching his daughters grow up without Mary by his side. "She won't get to see the godly young ladies they are going to become," he said.
But he can't dwell on his grief. He's got a family to raise and a new job to find. He doesn't know whether he'll ever return to Central Asia, but that won't stop him from sharing the Gospel. That calling has not changed.
"I have absolutely no idea what the future holds," John said. "I think everybody is going to be amazed at what God can do with a hillbilly like me.... Our story isn't over."

Scotsman Allan McNish recorded his eighth "rostrum" finish in his 10th appearance in the Sebring 12 Hour sportscar endurance race that finished last night (Saturday 16 March).
Dumfries-born McNish plus co-drivers Tom Kristensen (DK) and Lucas di Grassi (BR), narrowly finished second in their 2013-specification hybrid-diesel Audi R18 e-tronquattro – an agonising 7.679secs behind the "sister" Audi of Oliver Jarvis (GB), Marcel Fässler (CH) and BenoîtTréluyer (F) after an intense, race-long duel.
McNish commented: "It was a fantastic race, a real battle from start to finish over 12 hours. I was personally really pleased with my own performance because I had six very good stints behind the wheel and so am delighted with the way I've started the 2013 season.
"Lucas and Tom both raced superbly but unfortunately we lost a little bit of speed in the car halfway through the race. Congratulations to our 'sister' car, they did a great job.
"We came to Sebring hoping to put on a good race for the fans on the R18 e-tronquattro's debut in North America and they certainly got it!"
McNish, denied pole-position by a mere 0.009secs in qualifying, swept into the lead for the first time with 94mins gone, Kristensen – who set the fastest race lap – having shadowed the "sister" Jarvis/Fässler/Tréluyer Audi from the start.
Approaching three-hours, McNish's one-minute lead turned into a 83secs deficit when the Scotsman was given a stop-go penalty plus 60secs "hold" for avoidable contact with a slower car.
McNish ultimately pitted to di Grassi after a two-hour stint with a 24secs lead and returned to the action with seven hours gone, now placed second 17secs behind the lead Audi.
But after 2hrs 21mins behind the wheel, the Scotsman handed over the car again to di Grassi with a 14.5secs lead.
However the "sister" Audi demoted the McNish/Kristensen/di Grassi car to second place with less than two hours remaining in this epic, no holds barred battle that had raged from the start between the two Audi sportscars.
Kristensen took over with 75mins remaining and after the "sister" car's penultimate stop, lay 2.683secs behind Tréluyer.
The pair were separated by less than one second with under an hour to run – and at times raced side-by-side – Kristensen ultimately trailing Tréluyer across the finish line by 7.679secs after 364-laps and 1,361.36-miles.
The 61st running of the annual race in Florida is McNish's last in the foreseeable future due to a change in regulations next year which will outlaw the Audi sports-prototype.
Audi defends its Drivers' and Manufacturers' titles in the FIA World Endurance Championship that gets underway at Silverstone (14 April) with McNish bidding for success in the eight-race WEC series.
Allan has acted as an ambassador for many diverse organisations, both large and small. His knowledge of the business environment is second-to-none and this shows in his professional and engaging dialogue, supported by his passion to get it right.
When it comes to distribution, P&H is the leader of the pack. Servicing a range of independent and franchised retail sites, they're the UK's biggest delivered wholesaler and its sixth-largest private company. Did you know there is a P&H truck in every main postcode in the UK, each and every day?

When 14-year-old Joshua Kim decided last summer to donate all the allowance he'd saved up to Rotary's End Polio Now campaign, he never dreamed that almost a year later he would be taking the mound for a ceremonial first pitch at Wrigley Field, the historic baseball park of the Chicago Cubs.
Joshua, now 15 and a freshman at Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, did the honors just before the 25 May game between the Chicago Cubs and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers during Strike Out Polio: Rotary Day at Wrigley Field.
"I can't believe this is really happening. I've always wanted to do this," said Joshua, whose father, Tony, is a member of the Rotary Club of Chicagoland Korean-Northbrook. His dad was in the stands with more than 600 Chicago-area Rotarians, relatives, friends, and Rotary International staff.
Tony's involvement in club polio eradication fundraising efforts inspired Joshua to contribute $1,300 to Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge. Rotary has committed to raising $200 million in response to $355 million in challenge grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Rotary Day at Wrigley Field brought in more than $10,000 for polio eradication. The Chicago Cubs contributed $20 to the campaign for each ticket sold by area Rotary clubs. An End Polio Now message appeared on Wrigley Field's famous marquee, with announcement made inside the ballpark before and during the game.
"Many Chicagoans don't even remember polio -- let alone realize that it still paralyzes children in other parts of the world -- and that's why public events like Rotary Day at Wrigley Field are so important," said Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Glenn E. Estess Sr.
For Joshua, throwing out the first pitch was almost as exciting as meeting international movie star Jackie Chan, who also was part of the pregame ceremonies.
"It was a great moment for me. It was awesome to meet Jackie Chan. I have always wanted to meet him and shake his hand," he said. "I was given a very special opportunity by Rotary, and I am very thankful."

Beautiful Games: frozen waterfall climbing
These remarkable photos of professional ice-climbers tackling huge frozen waterfalls and icefalls in Eidfjord, Norway, were created by photographer Thomas Senf. He used spotlights and flares to illuminate the spectacular landscapes at night-time, achieving results which look other-worldly. It took several hours to prepare for each shot – each light had to be fixed into the ice and 500 meters of cable was needed to rig everything up – with the help of Mammut alpine equipment. The falls themselves are up to 500m high. Senf's photography includes rock climbing, ice-climbing, mountaineering, skiing and base jumping. He is himself an accomplished mountaineer, having made first ascents of two peaks in the Garhwal Himalaya

Jim Porter: What happens if you die without a will?
Special to the Tribune
I'll start the column with this question: Do I need a will? That is one of the most common questions asked of lawyers — at least estate planning lawyers.
The most commonly asked question of a criminal defense attorney is probably something like "What are my chances?" or "Do you think they'll find the body?" Personal injury attorneys are probably asked, "How much will I get?"
My clients ask why I charge so much. But I digress.
Where There Is a Will . . .
Unless you have no assets and no kids, you should have a will. It's that simple. The more difficult question is do you need more than a will, such as a trust, to more creatively plan your estate and save taxes.
Some assets such as life insurance policies, retirement accounts, joint bank accounts and property held in joint tenancy will automatically pass to beneficiaries without a will (but there is a tax disadvantage to holding property in joint tenancy if you are married).
All other property needs to be distributed through a will or trust or by the courts following California statutes.
A will gives explicit instructions for the distribution of your property.
It can help prevent family bickering over your assets. It can show how you intend to transition your business. It allows you to name an executor to handle your affairs, such as paying your debts and distributing your assets — an important function.
Let me be blunt. Would you rather have your assets distributed as you wish or have the government tell you — after it takes its chunk?
Simple wills are not that expensive. It's not like you are not going to die. (Never use double negatives, no matter what.) Why wouldn't you want a will?
If You Die Without A Will
What happens if you die without a will? For one thing, you have no opportunity to designate an executor to handle your estate and to waive the somewhat expensive probate bond.
Of course, you are unable to specify where your property goes. If you have children, you can name a guardian and set up a simple trust so they don't inherit at too young an age.
If you die intestate (fancy word for "without a will"), California laws specify that if you are married and have two or more children they receive 2/3rds of your separate property and your spouse receives 1/3rd.
"Separate property" are the assets you acquire before marriage or by gift or inheritance during marriage (and you don't commingle). If you die with a spouse and one child, separate property is split 50-50, and if you die without children your spouse receives all of your property — separate and community, even if you would rather have some assets go to your friends or relatives.
For example, if you die without a will with three children and a spouse, your half of the community property goes to your spouse and your separate property is divided 1/3rd to the spouse and 2/3rds to the three kids equally. "Significant others" get nothing unless they are named in a will.
Without a will your community property (property acquired during marriage) or "commingled" (mixed) separate and community property goes to your spouse.
With a will you may give your half of the community property to someone other than your spouse. Your paramour perhaps.
If you think for a moment that your children will graciously divide your assets when you die without a will, statistically you are wrong. Another reason for a will or trust.
Will Review Time
Even if you have a will it can become obsolete. Here's a list of events that may justify having your will reviewed: Marriage, dissolution of marriage, new child (birth or adoption), death of a spouse or child or a grandchild, divorce of a child or named beneficiary, significant change in wealth or assets (up or down), inheritance, hitting the Lotto, moving out of state, purchase or sale of property, family business issues and serious disagreements among family members.
Of course, changes in the law may also create a need to have your will reviewed.
Consider a Trust
A common misconception is that having a will avoids probate, which is the process of distributing your estate through the court system. A will guides the court but does not avoid the process or the fees.
A simple revocable trust can help keep the estate from going through a time-consuming and often expensive probate. Even if you don't have a large estate, a living trust can be a good idea. Consider a trust, just to save probate fees if nothing else.
The key to having a will is to do it. Call Brian Hanley or a certified specialist like Kelley Carroll or any lawyer that prepares wills. Don't put it off.

The dank basement smelled metallic and musty as the overhead fluorescent lights buzzed and flickered revealing one new horror after another. The lead investigator on the case had just walked into a scene unlike any she had ever experienced before. 8 years on the force had brought her everything from bodies in car trunks, suicides hanging from trees and the most vile cases of child abuse you could ever imagine. But nothing could have possibly prepared her for the gruesome display of human vivisection laid out before her at this very moment. Pools of blood seemed to join hands and spread across the entire floor as bloodied instruments sat in silence as if resting after a hard day's work.
It was the eyeballs on the shelf that caught her attention first. Eyeballs without a skull look a little bit like ping pong balls staring at you. Staring with that frozen look of fear forever tattooed shiny and slick. With her own eyes she followed the disembodied ones across the room to discover what they were looking at. There, on a gurney, was a body seemingly zipped open from neck to pubis. Its organs replaced with puzzle pieces. Painted wooden blocks with letters painted on all 6 sides. She knew she wasn't supposed to touch anything until the rest of the team arrived, but she couldn't help herself. She had to know what those blocks spelled.
Keeping her eyes averted to the crudely removed heart and lungs on her left she strapped on her latex gloves and removed the wooden blocks one by one from the still warm body. Wiping away the blood and viscera on her pants, she placed the blocks on the only dry spot on the floor and attempted to spell different phrases, but nothing seemed to make sense...
Shit basket open her.
Sob. Her penis taketh.
Heathens rip best, ok?
Again and again each phrase seemed sillier than the next.
Spit the boneshaker.
Startling her out of her frustration, her walkie talkie bleeped as her partner told her he was 2 minutes out. She had to figure this out before he got here! With the adrenaline pumping and her fingers shaking, she rearranged the blocks one last time and whispered aloud...
It was then that a giggle startled her. It came from the corner of the room. Snapping her gun from her holster she leapt up and aimed at the darkened corner where the giggling grew louder and louder. As she slowly inched towards the laughter and her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw him. The Survivor Serial Killer squishing what appeared to be a liver in between his dirty fingers. And when Sarah's eyes finally locked on Jeremiah's, she knew that the tribe had indeed spoken. She was out of time.
Let's recap, shall we?
With the moon high and the night thick with blackness, we continue our salacious saga at Atari (Aparri). As the weary travelers return from Tribal Council, Tempestt (Spencer) is feeling spry and loose. Voting out one of his own hasn't rattled him none because as it stands right now the Ataris have the majority in the case of a Merge. Cagney (Sarah), however, thinks that resting on their laurels is for suckers. Instead, she wants them all to decide who they'll vote off of the other tribe if they are to Merge tomorrow. We hear someone mumble the name "MalnuTrisha" (Trisha) and, seemingly satisfied, the group puts all of their hands into the center of a circle cementing a flimsy Top 6. Kass, attorney at law, isn't as optimistic and relaxed as the rest of her tribe. She has seen deals like this go down before - Guilty pleas changed to Not Guilty, judges bought with mob dollars, crooked cops lying through their teeth on the stand. Kass has experienced it all. So she'll go ahead play along with yet another silly handshake, but she knows that the best laid plans often end up sprawled out on a murder scene floor... or stuffed inside of a dissected corpse.
With the memory of the Top 6 handshake in the forefront of her mind, Kass, attorney at law, begins the next morning with a walk on the beach with Cagney. Cagney reiterates that the Top 6 will be totally fine as long as they don't let on as to whom they're planning to voting out. Kass nods in agreement. Up, down, up, down, up... "The only people that personally I would be concerned are you and Jeremiah."... down. Oh dear. Kass is doing that thing again. That awesome thing where her ability to tell falsehoods is switched off and the Truth Spell is activated. It didn't go down so well on that episode of Charmed and it's about to wreak a little havoc here on Survivor.
Upon hearing that Kass is suspicious of her, Cagney crosses her arms over her chest and begins inching the fingers of her bottom hand towards the pistol in her under arm holster. Gripping the department-issued Glock with her right hand, Cagney tells Kass that she is offended hearing that Kass doesn't trust her. Kass shrugs her shoulders and says, "I don't think you'll flip. You'd be stupid to flip. I didn't mean to offend you." I want to live in the universe that is Kass's mind. I want to live in a place where you can say, "I think you're a lying stupid face" and have it not be offensive. I'd tell everyone everything. Like just last week I was at the airport and a guy reeking of cumin and bleu cheese walked right by me effectively causing me to choke and gag. In response, I slid down in my seat and lowered my chin into my scarf. With my nose safely covered, I closed my eyes and prayed that Mr. Stinky Pants wouldn't be sitting next to me on my 5 1/2 hour flight.
Now, if I was Kass, my reaction would have been quite different. Instead of screaming to myself inside my brain and panicking unnecessarily, I would have simply walked over to the Newsstand, purchased a stick of Mitchum, walked back to the gate, tossed the stick into Mr. Stinky Pants lap and declared, "You stink. Put this on before you board the plane and kill us all." It's quick, effective and doing the public a great service. That all sounds great, but we're forgetting that a maneuver like this also requires balls. Big swinging sweaty balls. Kass has them which is a little surprising to Cagney who thinks she has them too. A police officer should have balls I suppose. They probably give you a pair when you get your badge and Dunkin' Donuts coupon. But as much as Cagney likes to go on and on about how you don't want to piss her off or get on her bad side, I think her balls got left behind in Customs because the only response she has for Kass is, "I'm nahhht flipping. I'm nahhht."
And so, with Cagney now on edge and Kass telling the various insects that inhabit camp exactly what she thinks of their insect-y ways, Tree Mail arrives and reads, "You guys are merging." Tempestt scratches his head and says, "I think we're merging. I mean, I hope we're merging." Tasha then claps her hands abruptly, "Alright everyone, let's practice!"
Meanwhile, over at Salami (Solana) LJ and Lacey (Tony) read about the Merge and immediately run to dig up their respective Hidden Immunity Idols. Both men are well aware that their tribe has one less member than the Ataris. If ever there was a week that they might need their Idols, this week is it. Surprisingly, to just about everyone I think, Lacey confesses that if he needs to use his Idol on a tribemate, he will. There is a team spirit at Salami that hasn't ever existed at Atari. They're a tight and supportive group that knows their strength is in numbers. They may only have 5 right now, but they are a cohesive unit. Over at Atari you've got 6 individuals and when you play as an individual you are at a greater risk of going home.
And this brings us to the Merge:
"Oh my god, here they come."
"Hi guys, we come in peace!"
"Something is suspicious about this. Something is brewing."
"Hey, we brought food and wine!"
"Get in your formations and remember what we did in practice!"
When the Salamis finally arrive ashore, the two tribes hug and greet each other pleasantly enough. They ooh and ahh over their fancy new black buffs at the same time discovering that yet another Hidden Immunity Idol is now in play. Not only is there another Idol to uncover, but this Idol has special powers. Naturally, or perhaps unnaturally, Mr. Wilde comes knocking on my noggin when I hear about this new statue with powers and my mind is immediately flooded with images of Survivors making reckless wishes as Dorian Gray did. Perhaps Funbags (Morgan) would wish for a world with no ugly people. Jeremiah might wish for a scythe or a hacksaw. And Jeffrey (Jefra)... well Jeffrey would probably wish for an incubator to hatch those eggs properly.
With a new tribe name in place - Ovarian (Solarrion), Jeffrey finally takes a look around her and realizes that the pipe cleaner Alexis is gone. Lacey, too, is mildly disturbed that she has been voted off. Without Alexis there to rejoin up with Jeffrey and the Salamis, Lacey is going to have reel Cagney back in. After all, she did swear on her badge way back when and, if you'll remember, there is no word stronger than the word of a cop. Riiiight.
With bellies full and and nothing but a lazy day ahead of them, the Survivors scatter hither and thither around camp. MalnuTrisha holds a Pilates class with Funbags, Tasha and Kass while Lacey, Woo and LJ discuss how Lacey needs to get Cagney back on their force. Wasting no time at all, Lacey pulls Cagney aside and asks her where her loyalty lies. She replies by telling him that in all honesty she is floating right now. Unsatisfied with this answer, Lacey tells her that they've got a strong alliance of 6 with her and one by one by one they'll start picking off the rest of the Ataris. Cagney replies by shifting her weight side to side and pretending to adjust the piece of driftwood she fashioned into a police baton. Lacey, picking up on her uneasiness, blurts, "Swear on your badge! Swear on your badge right now!" Cagney states matter of factly that she can't at this point in time. *sigh* This isn't a time to pretend you're Kass, Cagney. Lie! Lie to him and make him feel comfortable you twit!
Not only did she play out that scene with Lacey all wrong, but while musing on the conversation for our benefit Cagney makes that all too common mistake of thinking that being a swing vote makes you the most powerful player in the game. No, no and no. All being a swing vote means is that you're on the bottom of not only one, but two alliances. It means you're wishy washy and can't commit. It means you probably don't have many friends and might be really freaking annoying and arrogant. There are two things that bother me in life - foods with textures like pudding and Survivors saying, "I'm in control of the game." Pudding is mushy and gross and might as well be a bite full of mucus in your mouth. As for saying you're the all great and powerful and Survivor, well, that's just silly.
When you get silly and highfalutin about one thing, you're bound to get silly and highfalutin about everything else. While meeting with the task force that are the Salamis, Cagney debriefs the team on what is about to happen...
"Alright team, we've got two perps on the loose. One is beautiful and the other one is from a land of unknown origin. The beautiful one goes by the street name 'LJ' and all evidence points to him being unarmed and not having an Idol."
"Umm I think he does have an Idol."
"But MY file says he's unarmed. Moving on... Our second perp is difficult to understand, absolutely unarmed and definitely laughs like a loon."
"How do you know he doesn't have an Idol?"
"Because I said so!"
"I think we should go after Jeffrey."
"Well, I think we should go after MalnuTrisha."
"No! I'm the commissioner and I say no! Now go out and commandeer a rowboat before sundown."
Yeah, Cagney is pretty unbearable. You know it, I know it and Kass, attorney at law, definitely knows it. The Ataris are supposed to be a team, but there is nothing team-like in Cagney barking orders at everyone and refusing to vote out who the rest of the team wants to vote out. To make matters worse, Cagney then goes and brings up that b-word. No, not bitch. BULLY. Because Kass and Jeremiah won't bend to Cagney's will, she says they're bullying her. Really? Really Cagney? Bullying? Oh stick a cork in it. No one is bullying you. I hate that term and find it offensive, but if we're splitting hairs here, if anyone is the bully it's YOU. And while I'm on the topic I move that the word "bully" be stricken from all reality shows and all music video themes. From now on the only person allowed to say "bully", is a turn of the century pipe smoker with a pocket watch and a handlebar mustache. He says, "Bully for you!" in that charming olden timey way. That's it! No one else is allowed to say it.
And this brings us to the big Immunity Challenge. Come on in guys! For today's Challenge, you will balance on wooden Asian hats in the water while your feet suffer on little ridges. The last one left standing wins Immunity. Survivors ready, go!
And because... obviously. WOO WINS IMMUNITY!
Back at Ovarian, Cagney is talking... again. Did you know that she's the swing vote? Did you know that there are 5 people here and 5 people there and that leaves only her in the middle? Did you know that she gets to pick a side? Did you know that she's in the best position possible? Did you know, did you know, did you know, did you know?!? *takes Cagney's gun out of her holster and shoots self in the head*
Time for another task force meeting!
"Alright team, who do we want to get out?"
"I think Jeffrey. I think the smartest would be Jeffrey."
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too... Jeffrey."
"There is no way anyone would play an Idol on her."
"My case file says that none of them have an Idol."
So yeah, they're getting a lot accomplished.
Back onshore, the Salamis are watching the meeting in the water and deducing that Cagney must be the one in charge because she's the one who keeps hitting everyone with her driftwood baton. MalnuTrisha turns to Lacey and tells him that there is no way he can trust Cagney anymore. Plus, earlier in the day she witnessed Kass and Cagney have a little bitch spat where Kass was all "Rawr rawr!" and Cagney was all, "Rawr rawr rawr!"
Meanwhile, back in the water...
With the task force meeting over, Kass decides that she's had just about enough of Cagney calling the shots and destroying the game. In fact, instead of letting Cagney destroy the game, why doesn't Kass take this bull by the horns and destroy it herself? I have no idea what any of this "destroying" talk is referring to. Is it another rice dump? Is it a shelter fire? Is it having Woo practice his high kicks on Cagney's face? I don't know! All I know is that it sounds dramatic and delicious and something I definitely want to witness. Yay!
Like we've experienced before with Kass, whenever she gets the urge to make a game changing move, an opportunity always - ALWAYS - falls right into her lap. And that's exactly what happens when husky throaty MalnuTrisha (who is totally growing on me btw) asks in that smoky voice of hers, "Do you have any interest in joining us?" From my couch I whooped and cheered, sacrificed a virgin and hoped to goddess that Kass would say yes. After the two discuss how they'd both like to get rid of Cagney, Kass rolls around the idea of switching allegiances and the more she rolls it, the more she loves it. The excitement wells inside of her as well as MalnuTrisha who is breathily delivering the news to the boys, "[Kass] is with us!"
And this brings us to Xanadu... I mean, Tribal Council. All of our Survivors are lined up in a row. Both tribes think they have the upper hand. Both tribes couldn't be more wrong. Let's begin the madness!
We begin with LJ as he comments on how being voted out tonight would be the worst best compliment that he's a big threat in the game. And then we have Tasha, silly silly Tasha, who staunchly declares, "He SHOULD be worried!" You sure Tasha? You sure you don't want to hold another scrimmage and think it over?
And then we come to Lacey. Crazy kooky Lacey with what looks like antlers tattooed all up his arm. Lacey states that not only is everyone playing the game really smart (Ha!), but that Survivor isn't a numbers game, it's an alliance game. Tempestt then grabs his opportunity to mug it up for the cameras yet again by squenching his face and crinkling his nose in that "What poppycock!" kind of a way.
This is where Dimples decides to steer the conversation into a different direction and ask about Hidden Immunity Idols. He asks LJ if he thinks anyone happens to have one and are they a concern at all. LJ answers noncommittally by suggesting that there might not be an Idols at all.
"There's Idols."
Oh hello, Lacey. Do you have something you'd like to say?
"I got one."
Dun, dun, dun! Oh snap!
("It's right here. See?")
Tempestt once again makes his Kandi Burruss face and asks Lacey to prove it, "You want to pull it out?" Whoa, whoa, whoa... slow down there buddy. We don't need to see Lacey's p... ohhhh you meant pull out the Idol. Never mind! So yeah, show us your Idol, Lacey. And you know what? He does! All of the blood immediately drains from Cagney's face, Jeffrey thanks God, Tempestt turns bright red and Tasha can't push her eyeballs back in quickly enough. It was FANTASTIC! Oh sure, maybe it wasn't the brightest thing for Lacey to do, but it was drama! And that's all I care about - the shade of it all.
Oh, but Lacey isn't done yet! He waves his arms over those Atari losers and says, "Look at these 6 faces right here, Dimples. Look what's going on right here, Dimples. Look at 'em, look at 'em, look at 'em." Tasha then chomps down on the inside of her cheek as Funbags starts to eat her lower lip. As for me, oh I laughed and I laughed. And then I paused and hit rewind, "Look at 'em, look at 'em, look at 'em." Ha! That could be one of my most favorite Tribal moments ever.
Obviously, this one holds the number 1 spot. Mama didn't raise no fool.
As expected, those silly No Brainers immediately begin to panic and Tasha starts whispering, "The other one, the other one, the other one..." One would think that someone who holds rehearsals all the time would have planned for every eventuality. Tempestt then announces, "I need a minute!" Meanwhile, all of the Salamis are poking one another ribs and yucking it up. It was fabulous!
And this brings us to the votes. If anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so. We all knew that crazy looney Lacey would use his, but did we know he'd give it to LJ?! WOW! I totally dig that kind of loyalty. But hey, we're not done yet because guess what? LJ would like to return the favor and now he is going to play his Idol for Lacey. Aww they're homeys! They're bros! They're both really really dumb, but in case I have to say it again... I love me some drama!
Let's read the votes...
JEFFREY... oh shit. A hush falls heavily over the scene.
CAGNEY... yes!
JEFFREY... *gulp*
CAGNEY... Cagney looks to the ground.
JEFFREY... tears begin to fill Jeffrey's eyes.
CAGNEY... Kass smiles.
JEFFREY... we have full on crying now.
CAGNEY... Cagney purses her lips as Jeffrey looks anxiously to the side.
JEFFREY... *silence*
CAGNEY... my heart!
We have a tie. 5 votes Jeffrey and 5 votes Cagney.
The 7th person voted out of Survivor Contagion is... CAGNEY!!! *fireworks fill the sky* Lacey immediately starts clapping and mutters, "Bang bang." Open-mouthed, Cagney looks around her and asks, "Who flipped?" Of course muggy mug Tempestt has to have a head shaking reply, "Kass! Zero chance of winning the game." *ahem* Douche.
And there you have it. Holy Christ, that was intense. So, what did you guys think of last night's episode? Are you happy that Cagney went home? Can the Salamis stay loyal to each other? How many faces will Tempestt make for the camera next week? More importantly, should I start writing crime novels? Comment it out bitches and have a great day!

The International Film Festival Rotterdam is introducing a new competition that aims to support film distribution in Dutch cinemas.
The new Big Screen Award Competition will showcase 10 recent films (from the festival's Spectrum and Bright Future sections) without Benelux distribution confirmed.
An audience jury will give the prize and the Dutch Circle of Film Critics (KNF) will also chose a winner. Both awards will come with guaranteed distribution in Benelux by Amstelfilm. The KNF Award also includes a subtitled DCP, sponsored by NCP Holland.
This new competition does not impact the existing Tiger Awards competition.
The 10 films will be announced on Jan 10.
IFFR Director Rutger Wolfson said: "One of Rotterdam's defining characteristics over the years has been how the festival, its Hubert Bals Fund and the CineMart have tried to be supportive of filmmakers in all stages of their careers, and in all stages of the production of films. We felt that in reshaping and adding these prizes we could combine several different aspects of our efforts: to further the distribution of our films after the festival, and increase the international visibility of our Bright Future and Spectrum selections. Also, the set up of these two awards now meets the requirements to be practical in terms of contemporary distribution. I also welcome the new role of our film critics' juries."

Try some lime greens, black, gray, orange, light blue and also just solid colors like black and light gray. Even try different colors for the different words "golf" and "fuel" as an example.
1. No golfer figure (man swinging, we are looking to create more of a brand) like NIKE, Gatorade, etc.
2. Keep in mind This is mainly for men, masculine, consumable, powerful, and we want to BUILD a brand symbol like nike.
For the branding think: APPLE (apple.com) + Gatorade + Nike Golf = GOLF FUEL
