The Board of Trustees at Guilford College has approved a tuition freeze for the 2016-17 academic year.
The Department of Biology provides students with a strong foundation in the biological or forensic sciences. Using inquiry-based learning and scholastic rigor, our curriculum stimulates academic excellence through independent thinking, interdisciplinary applications and critical analysis to develop tomorrow's leaders in the natural sciences.
The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees are offered in biology and in forensic biology.
Major Requirements for A.B. Degree in Biology
The A.B. degree in biology is recommended for those students interested in the biological sciences whose career goals do not require courses in physics or calculus, e.g., scientific illustration, science writing or environmental law. The major requires a minimum of 40 credit hours (10 courses).
Total credit hours required for A.B. degree in Biology – 40 credits
The biology B.S. major is recommended for students planning to pursue graduate study in any area of biology, or in the medical, dental, veterinary or allied health professions. The major requires a minimum of 56 credit hours (14 courses).
Total credit hours required for B.S. degree in Biology – 52-56 credits
All biology courses involve fieldwork and off-campus field trips. Expanded study and research opportunities are available on the Guilford campus, at the North Carolina coast, in the mountains, and at regional universities and organizations. Several biology courses are included as options for the environmental studies major. Summer field courses offer students the opportunity to study in various places around the world.
Biology (B.S.) majors are encouraged to pursue independent research projects under the supervision of a biology faculty member through collaborations with other universities, summer REUs or with Guilford faculty. This research can lead to the generation of a senior thesis (BIOL 470) or departmental honors (BIOL 490). In addition, there are numerous opportunities for student participation in independent studies (BIOL 260 or 460) and internships (BIOL 290).
Major Requirements for A.B. Degree in Forensic Biology
This major will be valuable preparation for those interested in pursuing careers in the criminal justice system, the FBI or the SBI, as well as for work with humanitarian agencies investigating human rights abuses. In addition, students interested in law, journalism and creative writing will be able to double-major and thus acquire the knowledge needed to complement their other field of specialization.
The major requires a minimum of 32 credit hours (eight courses).
Total credit hours required for A.B. degree in forensic biology – 32 credits
The major requires a minimum of 56 credit hours (14 courses).
It is recommended that students pursuing the B.S. degree in forensic biology take CHEM 231, Organic Chemistry I and CHEM 232, Organic Chemistry II and/or CHEM 341, Instrumental Analysis. Your academic advisor will assist you in your course planning. Forensic biology B.S. majors are encouraged to pursue independent research projects that can lead to the preparation of a senior thesis (BIOL 470), or departmental honors (BIOL 490). Students should explore the practical aspects of a career in forensics by arranging for an Internship with a local law enforcement agency or laboratory during their junior or senior year (BIOL 370 or 470).
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses). Appropriate prerequisites are necessary for upper-level courses.
Total credit hours required for biology minor: general biology track – 16 credits
Total credit hours required for biology minor: cell and molecular track – 16 credits
The minor in forensic science provides students with a focused and coherent study of the techniques used by various disciplines to analyze evidence found at the scene of a crime. The focus is on the meaning and significance of physical evidence and its role in criminal investigations. Techniques and insights provided by the scientific areas of chemistry, biology, physics and geology are used to explore the utility and limitations that technology and knowledge impose on the individualization and characterization of forensic evidence.
The study of forensics makes science relevant and pertinent to the interests and goals of pre-law students and those interested in pursuing careers with the FBI or other law enforcement agencies, in pathology, in creative writing or with international agencies monitoring ethnic and political violence.
The minor in forensic science is not available to forensic biology majors.
Students investigate various aspects of human physiology using computer-based software for recording electrocardiograms, electromyograms and electroencephalograms. Advanced studies in neuroscience include the recording of individual neuronal action potentials. An associated laboratory for field studies in fisheries biology houses a complete array of equipment for the investigation of aquatic ecology, limnology and ichthyology.
Standard and advanced equipment in the molecular biology and microbial genetics lab provide students with the tools for the study of the phylogenetic relationship between microbial organisms and the molecular analysis of signaling processes in nematodes. In their independent research projects, students utilize instrumentation for the growth of organisms under a variety of conditions, and the isolation, purification and quantification of genomic DNA. Students routinely utilize the techniques of PCR, Pulsed-field Gel electrophoresis, fluorescent microscopy, recombinant DNA technologies and RNAi. The department has two fully-equipped laboratories dedicated to independent, student research projects.
The forensic biology laboratory supports advanced forensics students in molecular cell biology and forensic anthropology. Students pursue the identification of drugs and toxins utilizing the gas chromatograph-mass spectrograph, which provides definitive identification of these substances. The laboratory is also where students investigate a variety of topics related to cause of death, e.g., identification of diatoms related to deaths by drowning, and skeletal damage due to ballistics, cutting and blunt force trauma. The highlight of the Forensic Anthropology course, the investigation of clandestine graves, utilizes the equipment and archival materials of the forensic biology lab for this capstone experience in forensics.
Students utilize research-grade microscopes for the analysis of trace forensic evidence and explore a variety of chemical methods for developing latent fingerprints. Forensic chemistry students employ the fully automated Shimadzu QP 2010 gas chromatography-mass spectrograph for the definitive identification of illegal drugs. Another major focus of the laboratory experience is the preparation of forensic DNA Profiles. After DNA extraction, forensic STR loci (including the CODIS loci) are amplified with the 9700 Thermocycler. Fluorescence detection of STR alleles is accomplished with one of the ABI 310 Genetic Analyzers. The ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR system is used to monitor DNA extraction from unusual forensic samples such as dentition. Computer-based GeneMapper software allows students to complete the construction of human DNA Profiles encompassing fifteen STR forensic markers.
- Letter from Annie Irving '08, to Melanie Lee- Brown, Chair/Associate Professor
Recognizing that students learn best by doing, the biology faculty at Guilford is committed to an experiential approach. From the North Carolina coast to the waters of the Galapagos and the highlands of Nicaragua, we offer students a wide range of curriculum options and experiences.
Small class size (a maximum of 24 students) ensures individualized instruction in both the classroom and the laboratory and at Guilford. All students are guided by faculty members with terminal degrees (PhD) who have a diverse range of expertise within the field: forensics, microbiology, molecular/cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, plant physiology, aquatic and avian field biology.
The Frank Family Science Center was designed by the faculty to support their experiential approach to instruction and encourage collaboration. Students benefit from modern, well-equipped laboratories. There are dedicated labs for students conducting independent research projects. Students studying ecology, ornithology and other field courses utilize the 240-acre College Woods as a living laboratory. The Center truly is the center of science study at Guilford and a home away from home for biology students and faculty.
Experiential learning is an integral component of an undergraduate education at Guilford. Internships, research and study abroad opportunities extend the learning experience beyond the boundaries of the classroom, providing students with the opportunity to explore and experience a rich variety of vocational and scholarly pursuits.

I took this photo the morning after Hurricane Irene. My family and friends were very blessed and fortunate to have made it through this storm unscathed. There were a few lives taken and many homes and businesses destroyed. My heart and prayers go out to all those people who suffered loss.
In the midst of a storm is when we realize how small we are. It's easy to get caught up in the media frenzy along with the depressing stories and photos of devastation….. it's then we need to stop…..take a look around us…..even if we have to actively search …..there's beauty and blessings to be found!

So did anyone get the Sith lords two pack. I did way overpriced but they are two really great 12" figures. Post your thoughts about them!

I got the 3 3/4" one, never did get the 12" one but the 3 3/4" one is great too.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
I can't find the 3.75" set, but I would love to get my hands on one.
[FONT=Tahoma]I was born at night, but not last night.[/FONT]You Shouldn't believe everything that you read.(Like my posts)
as would i turbowars, as would i.
i need an ephant mon, who wants to help? :D
The electronic Vader looks like he has lost a fist fight against Luke. And: I don't like the electronic gimmick. Therefore I bought the Sith Lords. But Sith Lord Vader has dirty ears. I'm not interested in pulling of his hand. Other differences I don't care about: the buttons on his belt are now blue, before they were green. His cape has a real chain now, his boots are polished (more glossy) and his breast armour now is striped with dark green color. I really don't need a second Vader, but this one is as beautiful as the electronic one.
The cut in half Maul should have come with the robotic spider legs accessoir, he wears in a hidden level of a videogame (Don't know the name of it).
The 12 " Sith Lords were peg-warmers in my area. I was lucky to find 6 of the 3.75 two packs at my Wal Mart! I bought 3, 1 for me and i each for two of my friends. Now I wish I would have bought them all, they would have been an excellent trading tool.
I see the 12" Sith Lords on clearance at just about every TRU I go to. I never did see the 3-3/4" figures, are they pretty nice? What do they include?
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
I had the 12 inch Electronic Vader and the 12 inch Maul, so that's why I never bought the 2 pack version although I thought it was pretty sharp looking.
Never saw the 3 3/4 version.... But the 12" set rocks. The Maul is generic, but the Vader is sweet. A must have for Sith fans.
I hope they do a Vader/DooKu/Palpatine, and throw Maul in for fun as well, Darkside set in either the 3 3/4" or 12". Now that I'd have no problems paying for.
" I think I have the SITH sense...I see DARTH people!"

Devil's food cake, fluffy white frosting and Oreo™ cookies capture the fabulous flavor of a favorite ice cream.
You can easily crush the cookies by placing them in a resealable food-storage plastic bag and pressing with a rolling pin a few times. A food processor or blender also works well.
To easily scoop the marshmallow creme out of the jar, lightly spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray. The sticky marshmallow won't stick quite as much.

2. if you want to smoke pot legally , move to Colorado
3. if you want to have an abortion, go to Mexico and take your chances
in most cases many of us live in certain states because what that state has to offer,politically,socially and economically...we have also left certain states because of the change in demographics or one of the above factors...My point being with the exception of abortion, I dont want some politician in Mass. determining what I can do in my home state

I believe abortion should be between the mother of the child and God. I however do not want to pay for the mothers actions. This person like all others should take responsibility for thier actions.
I am for a third party and even a fourth. I am also for negating the electorial college and would prefer the total popular vote. Tooo much coruption in our proccess now. Until the people of this country start paying for thier mistakes nothing will change.

Mork (Robin Williams), a misfit and Ork because of his sense of humor, was sent off to study Earthlings, whose "crazy" customs the "Orkans" had never been able to understand. Mork landed in a giant eggshell near Boulder, Colorado and was befriended by pretty Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber), a music store clerk. Mork looked human but his strange mix of Orkan and Earthling customs led most people to think of him as just some kind of nut. Aware of his origins, Mindy helped him adjust to Earth's "strange" ways.

Encephalitis in Children
What is encephalitis?
|Click Image to Enlarge
Encephalitis is a term used to describe inflammation of the brain. The inflammation causes the brain to swell, which leads to changes in the child's neurological condition, including mental confusion, changes in mental status (sometimes even coma), and seizures. Meningitis, which is inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, often accompanies encephalitis. Meningitis can also occur without encephalitis.
What causes encephalitis?
The cause of encephalitis varies depending on the season, the area of the country, and the exposure of the child. Viruses have been thought to be the leading cause of encephalitis. Although vaccines for many viruses, including measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox have greatly lowered the rate of encephalitis from these diseases, other viruses can cause encephalitis. These include herpes simplex virus, West Nile virus (carried by mosquitoes) and rabies (carried by a number of different animals).
Encephalitis can also occur following a bacterial infection, such as Lyme disease (carried by ticks), tuberculosis and syphilis, and by parasites, such as toxoplasmosis (carried by cats).
Another cause of encephalitis is an autoimmune reaction, when the body's own immune system attacks the brain tissues. For example, an antibody (a protein generated by the body) against the NMDA receptor (a protein found on certain cells) may cause encephalitis. This may sometimes be triggered by a tumor.
What are the symptoms of encephalitis?
Encephalitis often is preceded by a viral illness, such as an upper respiratory infection, or a gastrointestinal problem, such as diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. The following are the most common symptoms of encephalitis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Headache (or bulging of the fontanelles, the soft spots on a baby's head)
Sensitivity to light
Neck stiffness
Sleepiness or lethargy
Increased irritability
Skin rashes
Difficulty talking and speech changes
Changes in alertness, confusion, or hallucinations
Loss of energy
Loss of appetite
Unsteady gait
Nausea and vomiting
The symptoms of encephalitis may resemble other problems or medical conditions. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
How is encephalitis diagnosed?
The diagnosis of encephalitis is made after the sudden or gradual onset of specific symptoms and after diagnostic testing. During the examination, your child's doctor obtains a complete medical history of your child, including his or her immunization history. Your child's doctor may also ask if your child has recently had a cold or other respiratory illness, or a gastrointestinal illness, and if the child has recently had a tick bite, has been around pets or other animals, or has traveled to certain areas of the country.
Diagnostic tests that may be done to confirm the diagnosis of encephalitis may include the following:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of the brain, spinal cord, and other body structures and organs..
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Blood tests. These may include an assay for the NMDA receptor antibody and other antibodies.
Urine and stool tests.
Sputum culture. A diagnostic test performed on the material that is coughed up from the lungs and into the mouth.
Electroencephalogram (EEG). A procedure that records the brain's continuous, electrical activity by means of electrodes attached to the scalp.
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap). A special needle is placed into the lower back below the level where the spinal cord has come to an end. The pressure in the spinal canal and brain can then be measured. A small amount of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) can be removed and sent for testing to determine if there is an infection or other problems. CSF is the fluid that bathes your child's brain and spinal cord.
Brain biopsy. In rare cases, a biopsy of affected brain tissue may be removed for diagnosis.
Treatment for encephalitis
Your child's health care provider will figure out the best treatment based on:
How old your child is
His or her overall health and medical history
How sick he or she is
How well your child can handle specific medications, procedures, or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
The key to treating encephalitis is early detection and treatment. A child with encephalitis requires immediate hospitalization and close monitoring. Sometimes, depending on what doctors think the specific cause of the encephalitis is, certain medications can be used to fight infections that may cause it.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the swelling in the head and to prevent other related complications. Medications to control the infection, seizures, fever, or other conditions may be used. In severe cases, a breathing machine may be required to help the child breathe easier.
As the child recovers, physical, occupational, or speech therapy may be needed to help the child regain muscle strength and/or speech skills.
The health care team educates the family after hospitalization on how to best care for their child at home and outlines specific problems that require immediate medical attention by his or her doctor. A child with encephalitis requires frequent medical evaluations following hospitalization.

WOW! What a program. Delicious music too!
Woooow, she tried 3 lutz! I don't especially like her sp but I must admit Bolero suits her very well and it's a nice free program.
On the other hand, she performed only 4 triples, including 2 underrotated, one with a step-out and only one succesfull 3 toe in a combination with 2 toe.
Last edited by Cherryy; 12-16-2012 at 10:13 AM.
It seems that in the long she goes for seven triples or at least I hope so...it is very challenging and I hope to see it at full potential! It is wonderful however! and the short too.
this is what I love of Carolina, every year she came with different things!
well i think this was a great comeback 4 triples (even if they weren't all perfect), and all her spins and steps where level 4. I think the music suits her well!
I was very disappointed. Yes, Carolina tried different music and kudos to that but she has no connection with the music; the music seems like an afterthought. Good try with the bigger jumps but truly disappointing for a world champion forget the color or style of her costumes. The music seems like it is just there. She sould be proud she has a world gold and move on perhaps? I know she is loved by so many but show skating could be for her. These jumps are almost equivalent to katarina Witt 25 years ago! although I give credit for the 3 lutz attempt.
Wow, the long program looks good! The jumps still need work, but that will come with time, I think. And it's good to see her attempting the 3Lutz. I like how the program builds strongly at the end.
We are definitely seeing some great long programs this year in the ladies division--with this Bolero, Ashley's Samson & Delilah, Akiko's bird program, and Mao's Swan Lake, we could be in for a treat in the final flight at Worlds. (And I haven't even seen Yuna's Les Miz yet!)

L'Avant-Scène to perform 'Lorenzaccio'
Posted April 6, 2009; 09:15 a.m.
L'Avant-Scène, Princeton's French theater workshop, will perform Alfred de Musset's "Lorenzaccio" at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 10-11, in the Chancellor Green Rotunda.
The group, formerly known as L'Atelier, was founded in 2001 by Florent Masse, a senior lecturer in the Department of French and Italian, who will direct the performance. This is the workshop's 15th full-length production in French, and the first of a 19th-century French theater festival proposed by L'Avant-Scène this spring.
The play is set in Florence, which is subject to the tyranny of the corrupt duke Alexander, illegitimate child of the Medici family, whose rule is sustained by the troops of Charles Quint. Helped by his cousin, Lorenzo of Medici, another libertine whom others call Lorenzaccio with contempt, the duke subjects the citizens of Florence to his tyrannical whims. However, a revolt is brewing in the shadows. Lorenzo's own plan of revolt is revealed progressively to Philippe, the patriarch of the Strozzi family and a dedicated republican who opposes the tyranny of the duke.
The performance is sponsored by the Department of French and Italian. Admission is free, but reservations are encouraged. To reserve seats, e-mail email@example.com.

BELL, Richard
My name is Richard Bell. I am an Aboriginal man living and working in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I make a living from painting pictures. Because I am from the closely settled east coast of Australia I am not allowed to paint what is popularly called 'Aboriginal art'. Nor can I use the symbols and styles of Aboriginal people from the remote, sparsely settled areas of northern Australia. Apparently, this would make my work derivative and hence diminished in importance, relevance and quality. However, in western art, which appears to be almost entirely and increasingly derivative, no such restrictions apply. Quoting, citing, sampling or appropriating pre-existing works even has its own movement: appropriationism. There is even a belief that 'everything has been done before'. (Which makes it cool to appropriate.)
Consequently, I have chosen to quote, cite and sample the works of many artists from around the world, for example, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein and Colin McCahon; just like most artists today. But I don't believe that every painting has been painted, just as I don't believe that every song has been written.
I have also been privileged to watch closely how many of the great desert artists paint and have learned plenty. In Australia there are many Aboriginal artists from urban areas who are producing art with similar subject matter to mine. Our art has been, incorrectly I believe, called 'urban Aboriginal art'. It is work that that often speaks of contemporary injustices against our people. Liberation art is a far more accurate term that may also help to discourage the perpetual attempts to ghettoise us.

This was our last full day in Cornwall. I decided to make the most of it, and got up before sunrise and drove to Goss Moor. There we had passed an old building that seemed like a good location. Before entering the building I walked up to a small hilltop and got to see the sun rising.
Tilt&Shift panorama. The Shift-function on the lens makes it really easy to create perspective-corrected panoramas.
One story about this building, is that it housed a covenant of nuns. But not the good kind. They were secretive but when they were all found dead, seemingly murdered by each other, nobody wanted to take over the house. Pity. It's huge, and has a lovely view. Needs a bit renovating and garden work though.
Some say three of the nuns haunt the place, even in daytime. Of course they only appear "in the corner of your eye" they say, and can never be looked directly onto. Perhaps they don't understand camera-stuff, so maybe they are in some of these pictures.
Haunted monastery.
Windswept trees. Love it.
Later that day we went to Lanhydrock. Its a big mansion, turned into museum by the National Trust. MUCH more interesting than I feared. I really recommend having a look if you get the chance.
Fredrik doing the moonwalk.
Lovely garden.
Lovely yard.
Dashing thingys in the garden.
Smashing snooker-table.
Ghostly stairs.
Long corridors.
100 year old piano. 2 year old kid. Great combination.
Fredrik : "I want a piano"
Simple bedroom.
One of the many rooms making out the kitchen/food division of the mansion.
In the evening, our landlord Martin invited me to his studio. Actually it was more the other way around. I nagged and nagged until he finally let me have a look. He had a blank canvas that he wanted to break in. I was there to quietly document this great occasion.
We had a great time at Martin and Sharon's place in Cornwall. I really hope we can come back some day. The atmosphere and nature around this area is just amazing.

Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the beer, and simmer briskly, until almost dry, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool until warm.
In a shallow dish that holds it in a single layer, soak the bread in the milk, flipping once, until soggy but not falling apart, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the coarseness and freshness of the bread. Lightly squeeze a handful of bread at a time to remove some of the milk (it should be wet but not drenched). Finely chop and add to the bowl with the onion mixture.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Add the lamb, turkey, sausage and eggs to the onion mixture. Scatter the Gruyere, Parmigiano, scallions, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, and strong chile powder over the meat, and then sprinkle with the Worcestershire, 2-1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients until just combined; try not to compact the mixture as you do this.
Heat the remaining 1 tsp. of oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Form 1 Tbs. of the meatloaf mixture into a small patty. When the oil is hot, cook the patty on both sides until cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and other seasonings as needed. Repeat until you're satisfied with the flavor.
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the baking pan and form into a 10x4-inch rectangular block (it becomes loaf-shaped as it cooks). Finish the meatloaf by draping it with slightly overlapping strips of bacon, tucking the ends under the loaf.
Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F in the center of the meatloaf, 40 to 55 minutes.
Broil the meatloaf about 6 inches from the broiler element until the bacon is brown and crisped, about 3 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board or serving platter with a large spatula and cut into 3/4 - to 1-inch-thick slices.

Glass slippers, sparkly dresses and a Fairy Godmother – Tupelo Ballet's production of "Cinderella" has everything.
"We've got beautiful sets, beautiful costumes and a lighted carriage," said Tupelo Ballet director Sharon Long. "It's 'Cinderella' with a twist."
Part of that twist is the addition of seasonal fairies, but the classic "Cinderella" tale is still there: A young woman is hidden away by her evil stepmother and stepsisters, only to later find her Prince Charming, thanks to her Fairy Godmother, a glass slipper and a bit of magic.
Cassidy Pitts, 18, plays an evil stepsister, and Ericka Sherrill, 17, is Cinderella's stepmother.
"We're annoying to Cinderella," Pitts said. "We bring the comedy to the show."
Sherrill said they're having fun in their roles.
"We're the comic relief, and we're the parts the kids will enjoy the most," she said.
Zoe Windham, 16, is the graceful Fairy Godmother, complete with a sparkly gold costume.
"I bring all the magic to the show," she said. "It's really fun."
"Cinderella" definitely has a different tone than "The Nutcracker," which the Ballet presents each Christmas.
Still, there's plenty of magic in both.
"This is the exact opposite of 'Nutracker,' but I love it," Pitts said. "It's so much fun."

This layout is a result of my reminiscing on the days when my little guy was in kindergarten and Valentine's Day parties were a BIG DEAL! Everything in this LO is from Jen Reed's Wanted Collection, and it started out with Jen's JIF6 Wanted. I like how this collection lends itself so well to Valentine's Day (Word Art: Be Mine, Love, Luv U, Hugs & Kisses, etc.), but it wasn't the typical pink and red spin on Valentine's Day. Love it!

While the Internet has opened up a world of opportunities for commerce and communication, it has also provided scam artists with an unlimited number of potential victims. Many of the scams that technologically savvy con artist use are variations of those that have been around for many years. Below are some of the cross border scams that are gaining in popularity along with tips on how you can avoid becoming a victim.
In foreign lottery scams, you receive an email claiming that you are the winner of a foreign lottery. All you need to do to claim your prize is send money to pay the taxes, insurance, or processing or customs fees. Sometimes, you will be asked to provide a bank account number so the funds can be deposited. In reality, your bank account is likely to be depleted. In the end, you end up shelling out your hard earned money for "winnings" you will never receive.
Keep in mind:
The "Nigerian" scam got its name from e-mails that supposedly came from Nigerian "officials" claiming they needed help getting money from their country.
Today, people claiming to be officials, businessmen or surviving relatives of former government officials in countries around the world send countless offers via e-mail, attempting to convince consumers that they will transfer thousands of dollars into your bank account if you will just pay a fee or "taxes" to help them access their money. If you respond to the initial offer, you may receive documents that look "official." Unfortunately, you will get more e-mails asking you to send more money to cover transaction and transfer costs, attorney's fees, blank letterhead and your bank account numbers and other sensitive, personal information.
Subsequent communications sometimes even try to encourage consumers to travel to another country to complete the transaction. This can be extremely dangerous — according to the U.S. State Department, people who have taken this action have been beaten, subjected to threats and extortion, and in some cases, murdered.
Keep in mind:
In check overpayment scams, the con artist responds to an item you may have for sale online. They send you a check payable for more than the agreed upon price along with a reason why they are writing the check for more. They ask that you deposit the amount in you bank account and wire or transfer the extra amount to a foreign account. The scammer vanishes after the money is deposited. At that point, the check bounces and you are required to pay for the entire amount.
Keep in mind:

Northeast Mississippi's unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level in nearly four years last month, falling to 8.6 percent.
That's the lowest rate for the 16 counties in the region since November 2008, when it was 8.1 percent.
October's rate was eight-tenths of a point lower than September and three points lower than October 2011.
Fifteen of the region's counties posted lower rates than September.
The labor force – the number of people employed or actively seeking employment – was relatively unchanged from September to October. But the number of employed rose from 199,310 to 202,240.
October's rate was the seventh time this year the region's jobless rate dipped below 10 percent. Coming into 2012, the region endured double-digit rates in all but one of the previous 36 months.
Statewide, the unemployment rate was 8.9 percent, down from 9.2 percent from September.
State and national figures are based on seasonally adjusted data, which removes the effects of regular patterns such as holidays, opening and closing of school and other recurring events.
County numbers are released as unadjusted figures only.
Using unadjusted numbers, the state's jobless rate was 8.3 percent inn October, down from 9.1 percent in September and 10.6 percent a year earlier.
The number of unemployed people across the state fell to about 119,500 in October from 123,000 in September.
Overall, unemployment rates fell in 37 states and the District of Columbia, rose in seven and were flat in six. Nevada had the highest unemployment rate at 11.5 percent, and North Dakota had the lowest at 3.1 percent.
The national unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent in October, essentially unchanged from September but was 1 percentage point lower than in October 2011.

Castelli's Logo 9 Socks were introduced as part of its polypropylene line of road socks. The 9cm cuff provides plenty of coverage above the ankle, with a construction that's designed to feel light and dry fast. This makes them a great choice for warm days when you need breathable socks that have the ability to keep up with your perspiration rate.
As with all Castelli socks, the Logo series was constructed with compressive characteristics that target specific areas of your foot. The firm fit around the back of the heel minimizes its tendency to slip under the effort of hard sprints and climbs. The socks also have a compressive cuff and mid-foot strap that reduces unwanted movement by allowing the shoe to uniformly cradle and support the foot. And in addition to these compressive characteristics, the socks' polypropylene composition utilizes a soft, hollow-core fiber that effectively manages moisture. You'll also find that this fabric's natural breathability maintains a consistent, cool temperature at the foot on balmy days.
The Castelli Logo 9 Socks are available in the sizes Small/medium, Large/x-large, and XX-Large and in the colors Black/white and White/black. Please note that Castelli estimates a useful temperature range of about 63 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit for these socks.

When people go to Paris, they often enter France via a tunnel. When we entered France from Spain, we didn't have to go through a tunnel, we just drove on a winding road surrounded by mountainous scenary. This was the Pyrenees, not Paris.
Our first big driving break was in Pau. Okay, time to test the theory that the French are rude to you if you don't speak French. We did a self guided walking tour of this nice city that looked over the Pyrenees mountain range and visited an Australian bar
Many people visit Paris for the great Notre Dame Cathedral, but we were in the Pyrenees. So what to do to get our church fix, of course head to the sanctuary of Saint Bernadette in Lourdes. A massive catholic sanctuary built on the site where a young Bernadette was said to recieve a miracle. She later became a saint and now thousands of catholics take the pilgrimage to Lourdes to pray and wish for a miracle. It was great to see, but the amount of tacky catholic souvenirs avaliable was crazy. Usually you would see Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame tacky souvenirs, but this was the Pyrenees, not Paris.
One full day in France and we were loving it. When people visit France some are lucky enough to see the finish of the Tour de France in Paris. Well this was the Pyrenees, not Paris, so instead we got to drive on the steep winding road of Col de Touramet, the most difficult stretch of the Tour de France. It was awesome, Shaun was loving it and the scenary was breathtaking. This beats the smog of a big city anyday.
Driving through beautiful little French villages was amazing. We even got to stop at one village and saw a local village festival underway
Strolling around our overnight stop at Foix, there weren't many people in sight. The streets were quite, the shops empty, but once again the people we did meet were so friendly, and didn't get rude when we let them know we didn't speak French, they just had a little chuckle and tried to help us the best they could through body language. People always tell us that Paris is dirty and crowded with rude Frenchies, but this was the Pyrenees, not Paris.
On the day of the Rugby World Cup, I guarantee that in Paris, pubs would have been packed with people wanting to watch the game, while drinking overpriced drinks. This wasn't us. Instead we were in a small French town called Tarascon, ruged up in a friendly pub with a good crowd of Frenchies who were as passionate as they come. Even though we were going for New Zealand, we felt welcome and even though France ended up loosing, the crowd was pleasant. This was the Pyrenees, not Paris.
Many people go to Paris to visit the famous art museum, 'The Louve'. Well we had the opportunity to view reproductions of pre historic cave art and even got to visit the Niaux cave, where pre historic art can be found. It was amazing to hike deep into a cave to finally reach the art of the Magdalenians. Yeah, you can go to the Louve and see the Mona Lisa, but pre historic art in a cave, only in the Pyrenees, not Paris.
So as we crossed into Andorra, we were so happy that we had chosen the Pyrenees as our first destination in France. Don't get me wrong, I am sure Paris is fabulous, but for this part of our world adventure, the Pyrenees was just what the doctor ordered. Beautiful scenary, self drive adventure, friendly Frenchies, pre historic art, what more can you ask for. But of course, this was the Pyrenees, not Paris.

I noticed how you've stayed away from those threads that I revived. But, I will admit that your comments weren't as hateful as some others.
I don't care for Hillary either, but I wouldn't stoop to the lowness of some of those comments, others worse than yours. I for one am not afraid to call a spade a spade and I see the ugly in both the Dems and the Repubs! To think that one is better than the other is folly!
I'll interpret the personal attacks as your lack of being able to defend your comments.

Let's make it simpler ... An American ambassador is being attacked. Some former SEALs try to help him. Have they refuted the story that the SEALs were told NOT to go the aid of the ambassador?You do know that the story of troops being told to stand down has been denied by an active General and various intellegence agencies?
The SEALs call for immediate support. I don't think anyone has denied that they asked for support, have they? Who is responsible for deciding that support is not sent?
The CIA has said they sent messages within an hour (or 1/2 hour?) of the attack beginning. Hillary has said that she was in touch with the crisis all night, throughout govt. If there were no delays, exactly what were they doing during the time that this was going on? I could make a vulgar suggestion here, but I won't. Were they just watching the live video feed saying, "OMG, OMG,"? There can be no question that there should be protocols in place for situations like this that should have had a "rescue" operation in action automatically; or at the very least at a "go" command from the right person (whoever that may be; we don't know).
If she was also in touch with the Libyan govt, and there were no delays or denials, then the obfuscation of needing Libyan approval for a rescue should be a moot point.
There is also no question that there is support at Sigonella ... but it wasn't used. That doesn't even address the question of why Stevens went to Benghazi anyhow. He knew it wasn't safe, even if Hillary insists she didn't know that since she didn't receive any of the requests for additional security. One would have to be pretty far out in left field not to know that the place was dangerous given the Libyan chaos.
There is really no way to cover the odor coming from this steaming mess ... that is for those who know that Ben Gazi is not the name of the guy who made an offensive video.

I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
Gerry, I was watching Fox News earlier tonight just because of your post regading that Fox was still suggesting that troops were avialable in a timely manner to rescue. I was expecting to hear on Fox why these questions were not asked of Hillary today. Well, O'Reilly was talking about Byonce lip syncing her song and that was all I could take so I switched channels.
Didn't the two Seals in the area try to rescue the ambassador and were killed?
Wasn't it stated that there was no one that could have gotten to the scene in a timely manner?
Hillary screwed up, what's new? Could be why she has resigned as SOS.
Stevens was asking for additional security since mid-August and was denied.
Fox is alleging one thing and the State Dept is saying another. Hopefully, the truth will come out. In matters of Foreign Affairs, the truth seldom does.
Rand brought up an interesting subject today with the question of whether arms were being smuggled out of Libya to Turkey destined for Syria and that is why Ambassador Stevens was there. Surely Hillary would know the answer to that but she said she didn't know anything about it.
We can all speculate but, the public doesn't have nearly the information that the State Dept and Congressmen have. Lets just hope they do their jobs in this investigation. But like so many government scandels, they get swept under the rug because of a kind of gentlemen's agreement between the two parties in matter like this and much of the investigation is nothing more than a sharade. They know that the public loses interest the more it drags on.

Hmmm....did someone just overdraw their RTF account?
''But I don't like mean people.
So I now have 2 on ignore.
They are both very negative and flat out mean.
I have never seen a positive post from either of them on any subject....EVER!!!
In the bank account known as the "RTF," some folks are seriously "overdrawn."
Dayum, where did I read that?
One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
Franco, yes the two SEALs were with the CIA in the nearby CIA compound. It was reported that they wanted to assist, but were told not to. They went anyhow, and were credited with getting some of the others at the consultate out of danger.
Sigonella is only about an hour away by air. Surely the SEALs were aware of the logistics for the support they needed. They would have known that it could be made available to them ... as long as someone gave the "go" order. There must have been communication from the CIA compound, since the CIA send a message to DC shortly after the whole thing started.
And the timeline says the firefight went on for something like 6 or 7 hours. If rescue had been dispatched from Sigonella immediately, an hour away, some of those four might have been saved. Could it be that someone didn't want anyone left alive who knew the details?
What happened to those others who escaped the consultate? They were taken away, and we've heard nothing about those survivors. Who were they? What could they tell us?
None of the perps have been found. More incompetence, or more cover-up?
We know for a fact that there were requests for additional security. For no one to take any action on that is, alone, an indictment of incompetency. If Stevens was considered such an expert on the area, why would they ignore his advice?
I think that dragging this out till the public loses interest has exactly been the plan. Unlike Watergate, there are no investigative reporters to be outraged; or with the courage to dig out the truth. It seems that politics has gotten even dirtier since Nixon, since now the media has become a party to it as well.
It occurs to me that the Clintons have their own definitions for common words. So, it is consistent to believe that Hillary has some convoluted definition of denials or delays, just as Willie has his own definition of sex.

I really don't get why we didn't have either F-15's or F-18's screaming at supersonic speeds at treetop level over Benghazi. If there were F-18's in Sigonella, that's only 460 miles or about 20 minutes at high speed for an F-18 although I don't know how long they can go that fast.

Was it a good idea to have an open consulate in Benghazi? Or a large international staff in a NG facility in Algeria? We have diplomatic and private industry staff placed around the globe. Is it possible to forsee every contingency and event? I don't believe so. I think that we do the best we can, but events will sometimes happen beyond our control.
Imagine yourself as a middle level intelligence analyst in the CIA or the NSA? Thousands of reports of intelligence cross hundreds of desks in a day. What do you pass upward? What do you give credence to? Intelligence failures happen (9-11...). Not every bit of intelligence is passed on to the SOS or the POTUS. The people working those desks are just like you and me. Prone to failures.
Was it unfortunate that the events in Libya and Algeria unfolded as they did? YES! The world is a risky place.
You can make judgements about the people who do the shadow jobs, but put yourself in their place. Your condemnation of the SOS and the POTUS, is condemnation of them, and they are much like you and me.
Making such events political does not serve us well. JD

[QUOTE=JDogger;1059485]Aircraft are not always a good response to a small firefight.
it would have been better than they got. i agree people make mistakes and it is easy to condemn now. but once it started there should have been no holds barred, do whatever needs to be done. if there was collateral damage, too bad. if the attitude was we can't save them anyway, then kill as many of them as possible in the process.

Hope it attached this time. What are the thoughts on these hips. He does need to go to the bathroom.
His thigh bones are really bowed…never seen any like that. The right joint doesn't look right--he may be slightly rotated because you can't see both tips of the pelvis in the x-ray. I would try for better placement with another x-ray.
Did you shoot these?
They look good, but what I know.
The legs look splayed (knee caps off to the side), maybe they'd look excellent if you straighten them.
Here is the brief story to these x-rays. We always see the the 2 year old with asking opinions if they will pass.
However, these x-rays are of my old man which will be 14 years old in February.
He was out yesterday playing with a couple of the younger ones with a bumper and was ran into from the side. This dislocated his left hip. Luckily when I picked him up it popped back into joint but at the vet, which takes my OFA's, we took 2 x-rays just making sure. He couldn't believe with a dog of his age that there only appeared to be one very small spot even possible arthritis. He was not put out we just laid him out to get the shot. Today he is sore and having a lot of problems cocking the leg for the number 1.
Never been one to believe in putting the old ones locked up in the house. He runs behind the 4 wheeler everyday and has been hunting 4-6 times this fall. He has only had one set back which was in June. He was one of 2 dogs which stumbled around live drunken IDIOTS for 2 weeks after applying ACTIVYL flea and tick medication. However, after Meds he is back to normal but the other one died.

Stall mats or anti fatigue mats. Everything else is for show dogs.
The horse stall mat I got lasted about 2 months before the chewing and clawing continued. Small chunks of rubber mess everywhere!!
Heavy, heavy heavy chewer regards!
That's my boy "Blue"!!!! Flyin High in the Passenger Side x Katie May of Belgrade
I used anti-fatigue mats at first and had no problems with chewing. One thing I have noticed with the 3 dogs I have had is that after they reach 2 yrs old they stopped shredding their pads. I know have Avery crates pads on top of the mats and my dogs haven't even tried to chew them. They also love their beds in the house and don't chew on them either. Before they were 2 I couldn't keep a pad or bed more than a couple of days.

Another option may be to give her something else to chew on ,like and antler or one of these Kongs, it dispenses dry food one kibble at a time
It keeps their minds busy while they are crated.
My rule is that chewers get NO MATS, period! I have had the horse stall, anti fatigue mats, etc., shredded. When they learn to behave themselves, they get a nice Kong mat.
Thanks for all the input. I am not sure what I am going to try, she is sleeping in a wire crate in the kitchen and she is up at 4:15 daily (I usually get up at 5) and my wife thinks that if she has a pad or blanket that she may be more comfortable and sleep longer, but I think she is still a puppy! Thanks for all the ideas.

Where blue grass and the thoroughbreds abound
And Old Kentucky friendship is still found
Where King Horse is still supreme
And the sporting life is keen
The name of Dixiana is renowned.
Here Domino was bred whose classic name
Stands foremost in Kentucky's racing game
May the day be drawing near
When his gallant equine peer
Will yet enhance the Dixiana fame.

Lovely party at the manor
Rainy weather, fine trip
Played a little secret tip
Got wet, lost the bet
Haven't won a Derby Yet
Judging from my heavy losses
I'm still following these horses
Some day tho', or I'm a sinner
I'll come down and pick a winner
And the Dixiana host
Will send that winner to the post
There's nothing like an evening on the Dixiana Lawn
When you're sippin' on a julep and a skunk comes along
In case you are from the far away city
The skunk I mean is a black & white kitty
So I grab up my gun and rush out for the kill
But my sweet little wife puts all my efforts to nil.

Cancer is one of the worst diseases, which kills millions of people across the world. While there is a wide range of treatment options available, the best way to deal with it is to ensure a good diet along with a healthy lifestyle. Here is a list of cancer-fighting food products, which can immensely help to prevent cancer.
- Green vegetables: Leafy green vegetables have multiple health benefits. They are not only rich in minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants, but also have very low content of calories, toxins, and sodium. Being antiviral and antibacterial in nature, green vegetables can successfully inactivate carcinogens, halt metastasis and pause the formation of a tumour. Certain vegetables contain isothiocyanates that can detox the cells. Some of the vegetables that are mighty effective in countering cancer cells include kale, romaine, watercress, nutritious spinach, collard greens etc.
- Berries: Berries are one of the best antioxidants among all food items, owing to their high ORAC score. Their antiviral and anti-fungal nature of berries is extremely healthy for the body. Moreover, abundant supply of vitamin A and C makes berries a perfect agent for increasing body immunity. Free radicals are one of the top reasons for metastasis. The proanthocyanidin content of berries helps the body to get a hang of free radicals, thereby decreasing the chances of cancer cells to grow rapidly. They can be consumed daily with any meals.
- Spices and herbs: There are a lot of herbs and spices, which boost the immune system and prevents cancer cells to grow further. Turmeric, for instance, is scientifically proved to be a great agent for reducing tumor size and effectively countering breast cancer and colon cancer. Some of the other herbs and spices include black pepper, ginger, raw garlic, parsley, oregano, and basil. They can be consumed daily in the form of juice or along with regular meals.
- Organic meat: Many scientists are of the view that organic meat does wonder in a cancer diet. Liver of beef and chicken has high B12 content and helps to remove harmful toxins from the digestive tract and liver. They can balance hormone, digest fat and counter the side effects of triglycerides, drugs, and obesity. This can be included in the diet every alternate day.
- Seeds and nuts: Flax seeds and chia seeds are few nutrient-power packed foods in the world. They should be included in the diet due to high fiber, mineral, and fatty acid content. Some other healthy seeds that can pay rich dividends in fighting cancer include walnut, sprouted bean, sunflower seeds etc. Nuts and seeds with all their nutritional qualities can successfully stop metastasis, reduce tumor size and increase immunity in the body, if consumed daily.
33 years old male from Guwahati asked
My grandfather who is 75 years old is suffering from esophageal cancer which has been detected recently. According to the doctor he is in the stage iii of the disease. Is there any chance of survival? We want to know details of experts in Guwahati. Please guide us.
The Curative treatment options for esophageal cancer are either Surgery or concurrent Chemoradiation. Chemoradiation is preferred in upper esophagus and surgery is preferred in lower esophagus. But at the age of 75 he may not tolerate surgery we'll. So in my opinion chemoradiation if he is fit or only radiation may be tried in Curative intent.
A person asked
My mother has a lump that may be cancer. Her CA 19 levels were 100, over the range of 0-37, which may indicate cancer. It's been there for 6 months but she wants to use alternative medicine like ayurveda to cure it. She won't take a pet scan. Anything else I can do to rule out cancer or help her?

Dear lybrate-user, Unfortunately ayurveda will not cure cancer. However if her CA 19.9 is elevated we have to evaluate her for pancreatic, biliary, colonic or ovarian cancers. So she will need an endoscopy, Mri /CT abdomen and pelvis to evaluate the organ of origin of the cancer and plan treatment accordingly
35 years old male from Ghaziabad asked
I am 35 yo male. I have developed a painful node on my left upper breast. It's painful to touch. What it could be? It's been there for couple of weeks.
Could be just an inflammation, so take anti inflammatory drugs, if you feel better, it will subside, or else you will have to get a biopsy or ultra sound done for the same.
27 years old male from Bangalore asked
Patient has been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Grade 3 - Nottingham Histologic Score - 3 + 3 + 3 = 9. Can you suggest the prognosis? The tumor is NOS in right break measuring 24-22-14 mm. I have attached the report also. Please let me know if it is curable and what are the chances of relapse.
In Breast cancer prognosis depends upon age, tumour size, nodal status, grade, ER/PR and Her 2 nu status, stage of the disease etc. As the stage increases recurrence risk is also increases. ER/PR positivity is a good prognostic factor and Her 2 positivity is a poor prognostic factor. As I have not mentioned the correct stage and other factors it is difficult to predict the survival as well as relapse.
27 years old male from Hyderabad asked
I had total thyroidectomy due to Thyroid cancer, Rai of 100 mcg done. 4 Parathyroids were preserved. Currently on Calcium supplement of 2000 mg, my recent Calcium level is 7.2 mg/DL Couple of weeks ago the level was 7 mg/DL. At time of discharge my Calcium level was 8.3 mg/DL, even though my recent level is decreased I have no symptoms of low calcium, I had vitamin D deficiency since long time. The calcium supplement has vitamin D3 as well, my worry is why the level decreased? My albumin level is 4.2gms/DL which is normal. Is my low calcium caused by low Vitamin D issue? Do I need to undergo any blood tests?
Endocrinologist, Delhi
Calcium absorption is facilitated by vit D, You need to take extra vit, d as you have mentioned that you have vit. D deficiency. Consult your doctor. Exposure in sun for 20-30 min is helpful in increasing vit d levels.

18 years old female from Pondicherry asked
Im 17 and I sometimes have sharp needle pains in my either right and left nipples alternatively is that a sign of breast cancer?
Homeopath, Anand
No only pain in nipples couldn't be the symptom of cancer. Moreover you are too young. There are too many reasons for pain in nipples like hormonal disturbances, change in shape of breast, improper lingerie etc. Do not think extreme. If still not satisfied just get it examined with gynaecoligist. And for pain in nipple start homeopathic medicines which are safe. Also start applying castor oil on nipples for relief.
37 years old male from Palwal asked
I have a tumor on my left hand. Suspect in cancer! I do not want to biopsy right now, becoz I heard that if cancer patient done biopsy then cancer spared whole body immediate. Have any Homeopathy treatment in suspect cancer.

Oncologist, Mumbai
Dear Mr. lybrate-user, Doing a biopsy doesn't make a cancer spread. Of course the biopsy needs to be done by a surgeon or surgical oncologist who understand the pathology properly. Unfortunately homeopathy for whatever they claim does not cure any swellings/lumps or any cancer. You can show a surgeon or surgical oncologist. If it's a simple swelling like lipoma or fibroma, you don't need any surgery
27 years old female from Navi Mumbai asked
My friend is suffering from carcinoma sarcoma of gall bladder type 4 stage cancer. I want to know about the treatment process and hes chances to survive as I am really very worried about him he is 42 years of age .please reply me soon.

I had total thyroidectomy due to Thyroid cancer, Parathyroids were preserved, Done with Rai therapy of 100 mcg it's almost 20 days, currently using Calcium supplement of 2000 mg and Eltroxin 200 mcg, problem is my body is hot but there is no fever, also there are body pains since 4 days, what could be the reason?
Dear lybrate-user, There is no specific reason for your fever. It has no relation with your thyroid cancer. May be some times high dose of Eltroxin may stimulate it. Simple symptomatic management for fever will cure you. Relax.

Unless he press, squeeze or suck very hard, no harm will come. So if you have pain or if he bruise you, you need to tell him to slow down. It is your responsibility to tell him that. If you enjoy it and it feels good, just keep it that way. It can be a lot of fun having your breasts fondled. Some women can even have an orgasm from it.

Okay Hasbro, why do you crap on us like this? It's pretty tough to find new stuff in the U.S. even harder in Canada and probably almost impossible in other countries. There is 2 huge exceptions from what I've read.
The first is Hong Kong b/c the darn things are made in China.
The second is Japan. I'm sure no one has a problem with any other country getting these toys, but why is their market so indulged?
Everyone should get these toys but especially here in America(s). Star Wars is an American Icon not a Japanese Icon. They have Godzilla and DBZ.
You cause riffs. How are we suppose to love our neighbors if our neighbors get all the toys?!

Just got my Master Replicas Luke Skywalker Lightsaber prop from Entertainment Earth today. It arrived double boxed with bubble wrap in the second box - kudos to EEarth for the quality protection. The saber case itself comes in a black cardboard slipcase with the classic Star Wars and Master Replicas logos nicely embossed in gold foil.
Accompanying the case is an envelope containing the usual marketing propaganda and a folder containing the certificate of authenticity, a metal info plate containing the series number (which, I assume is for the display case), and a one pager describing the original props.
The case itself is carboard, but well made with matching gold hardware, with a dark blue foam insert.
Having no experience with the Icons replicas, my unprofessional opinion is that this prop replica is well made. The saber body is mostly one large machined piece of aluminum, and quite heavy. The details match, for the most part, one of the two versions of the original prop I've seen pix of. The activation box does not have electronics, nor is the striped plate removable as in the original prop. The D ring also seems to fit more snugly than the original. The gold plating does not go up all the way to the emitter as it does on the "hero" version of the prop, and the gold has a dull flat finish which I'm not crazy about. The only other complaint is that the small black switch on the emitter box is set into place with two very small pegs and is easy to knock loose.
All in all, I'm pleased so far. I give the first Master Replicas saber an A-
Now, for the pix...

Everyone knows that one of the biggest problems with the Internet and email is spam. McAfee experts define spam as "unsolicited or undesired bulk electronic messages", and quite often, spam is dangerous. Some spam contains links to phishing sites or "free" downloads that could lead to spyware and other malicious software piggybacking along with the free application, giving hackers remote access and control of your computer.
Many savvy people employ software like McAfee products
that have filters that send spam directly to junk or trash folders. However, no
software can really help filter out the innocuous but almost always annoying spam
forwarded to us by friends, family and colleagues, because it can't know what
message we consider not spam from these people in our lives.
It seems nearly everyone has at least one person in their personal network who insists
on constantly forwarding cutesy, dopey, or sappy, and rarely really funny, inspiring,
"awesome", or interesting spam. Handling this constant stream
of junk email is a monumental waste of time that also clogs up networks and mailboxes.
McAfee has coined a new word to describe this kind of spam forwarded from friends:
Though all are annoying to some degree, fram has many faces. Here are just a few:
Pseudo-inspirational – encouraging you to have a nice day,
week or life with a gooey stories and bad poetry; then instructing to pass it on
to at least 10 people
Jokes & Cartoons – some are funny, most
are not worth the time
Hoaxes – "Ashley
Flores is missing!" (Ah, no…she's not.)
Visuals – photos and videos of something "awesome"
or "amazing", generally not worth the effort or time
Politically Inaccurate – nearly always biased and untruthful
rants or accounts of world events that have an extremist unbalanced viewpoint
Chicken Little – fear-mongering with urban legends like "drinking
cold water after eating could lead to a heart attack"
To learn about the McAfee Forward Responsibly campaign, please visit www.mcafee.com/fram.
Currently, there are no hard stats on fram, but one thing is certain: a lot of email
inboxes are filling up with it right now because few of us have the heart to label
this otherwise decent person in our lives as "spammer" and block
all their messages. Asking an individual to drop from their email blast list, doesn't
seem to work. So what can we do to end the blight of fram without
losing friendships or poisoning relationships?
