About Bnesaladur
I just want to comment on one part of this. The studies showing that physical bookstores offer the advantage of "readers are far more adventurous in their choice of books when in a bookstore than when shopping online."
For me this is true, but the truth is in the why. I am more likely to try different books because I can pick a copy up off the shelf, walk over to the coffee shop that is in the bookstore, buy a coffee, sit down, and read the book. It is a comfortable, cozy environment. It lacks any DRM-like limitations. It is, in fact, encouraged. I don't get to read a pre-selected page or two, but the whole damn book and if I like the book, I buy it, if not, I put it away. I do not buy every book, but I buy a hella lot more than if I cant read it at all (yes that includes the obligatory page or two selected by someone else.) I could go in and read the whole store and not spend a cent yet this is the preferred method of modern guildies. If I was not allowed this freedom, I would not even enter the store because online is easier, so changing this is bad for business.
Now lets take another look at why physical bookstores are selling more. I can read as much as I want before I make my choice and I have no obligation to buy, yet I buy one in three books I look at. I do this because of the freedom and encouragement to find what I want before committing to a purchase, not because of the "bricks and mortar" used to build the store. An online store could use the same principle and if they did book sellers would have to find new ways to spend their massive increase in earnings. Unfortunately, this will not happen because guildies are scared of this type of sales method, mainly because they have been trained to be.
Ultimately, things can be shown both ways but what is important is not the results but how they are obtained, and why.
Oh yeah, and if you really want to whine about Googles contracts, perhaps look into every telecommunication and ISP contract ever written.
Also complaining that Google isnt fair because they are good at what they do is a bad argument. It isnt default that cause this, IE is windows default browser and Bing is IEs default search engine. Guess what, first thing I do when I get new PC? I change it to Google because Google works best.
Personally I like Google. It offers us a well rounded collection of internet resources on top of Google search itself. Now, though, apparently they are a monopoly. idk if the government looked into it but Google works to create ad targeting so that you receive ads you will be interested in, at the same time allowing you to not get targeted ads if they make you feel uncomfortable (privacy invasion).
I really like the part in the list of "Benedelmans" that says that if Google was in a competitive marketplace they would have to provide "high-quality, trustworthy traffic." Basically Google would somehow have to ensure that only people with money, willing and ready to buy would respond to ads; and somehow to ensure that all the people who filled that category would receive the ads. I don't think I like the idea of anyone, especially advertisers knowing everything I want, how much money I have, and whether I am ready to buy. I don't mind them knowing which ads I read though, but its a fine line between privacy invasion and doing their job.
"they are so focused on stopping the "bad" people that the entire experience is being lessened for the "good" customers" --TAC
This is like arresting people and throwing them in away for life, JUST IN CASE they might be criminals. All steps must be taken to protect the innocent. Who needs proof if they have the potential to be a criminal. Are they smart? Have they ever been upset with their government? Criminal, accuse them and throw them away. Or even better, gather a lot of random people up in mass and accuse them all and offer them the chance to pay you $10K to be let off. Its a good way to better the economy. (We can even pretend we are making people safer at the same time. Some might actually believe us.)
Mike is "curious which thing people think will damage his reputation more. Getting fired by a big law firm... or then turning around suing that firm for $77 million?"
I'm more curious how a first year law associate figures that, as a result of getting himself fired by insulting management, he is owed $2.55 million in lost income while he would only be making, at best, $90k/year.
"... if you leave your keys in your car, and someone takes it and drives it into someone's fence, you're at least partially responsible for the damage. If the car thief runs off, who should pay for the damage? The fence owner or you? It would seem that between those two parties, you would be more responsible than the fence owner. You wouldn't say that the fence owner should have built a better fence, would you?"
Actually, I think the fence owner should have considered that by building a fence there it might get hit. Its their fault your car got damaged and they should pay to fix it. Cheap bastards, getting expensive lawyers and trying to get off of paying to fix my car.
Am I the only one who thinks its funny that, thanks to the RIAA, Breaking Benjamin is broke (or at least in the hole for $500k)?
I respect your views but on this I must disagree. While I believe you are mostly right, that one should not be held liable for crimes committed USING their service, that safe harbor should only apply if they have taken reasonable steps, where possible, to ensure said crimes can be stopped before they happen.
With, let us say for example, gun manufacturers, safeties are in built in for protection against misuse, but their is nothing really they can do over where the gun is pointed. With digital services, they can build in a safety to reasonably protect the public as well. It is definitely not the same as pulling the trigger, or in this case, selling a child to be a sex slave, but I'm suggesting a fine for not having a safety built in. While steps could be taken to mitigate the protection it provides but I think it needs a safety. It may make it harder to complete the transaction.
This whole concept of copyrighting photography, with the exception of selling photographs of copyrighted artwork, is stupid. Essentially you are attempting to copyright different poses of living creatures, say humans, or even nature itself. Does the line even stop there? Are we eventually going to have to pay to stand in certain ways because its an infringement? As stupid as it sounds, what if someone sees you and it looks the same as a existing work? What if a photograph gets taken?
Photography itself is not art, even though you can hold the camera in different ways and lighting may produce different results. Yet it is simply physics. If you take a photograph and digitally modify it however, that is art. So unless you have two pictures that look similar and then are both modified in the same way, all you have is a near exact representation of the world, based on physics not art. Any other definition is limiting as the natural extension leads to things like no longer being allowed to take pictures of your kids birthday party because someone else did first.
In closing, photography is not about art, although as stated earlier modifying the photographs can be artistic. Photography is about the storage of memories. Its about showing to others 'what you SAW' not 'what your CREATED'.
Probably is and the only way he can feel cool is by coming here and bashing Mike rather than becoming involved in an intelligent debate. I don't agree with everyone who posts here but most of them at least have intelligent posts that can be disagreed with intelligently. It is one thing to disagree, another to disagree and toss around some harassment but something different entirely to prove your lack of intellect by tossing around harassment and failing to even provide an argument. The last can only be responded too with disdain.
Where are all the people we are proud to be associated with, people who are on the bottom. These people, the ones we are proud to be grouped with, should be given the reins. Perhaps we could create a fourth stream of government, beside legislative, executive and judicial, that focuses on oversight of all the rest. Any group in the government currently trying to do so fails with such constancy that I would be embarrassed to count myself as part thereof.
Very few of us do not love our country, in fact probably all here do, but our leadership has been a train wreck for years, maybe even decades. We need to realize that, and take action. Volunteer your time for the benefit of your town or country. If you are a lawyer, do some pro bono. If you have the option, join your volunteer fire department. Whatever it is, simple actions can have powerful effects on all, including yourself. And when you get the chance, argue against the laws you disapprove of and take part in your country like you are doing now. Stand strong for what you believe, and for your country.
When the rules he is being a stickler about may be constitutional infractions or other illegal activities then more power to him. That is the trouble with any Intelligence Organization, that they believe that because they can redact information and make it classified, they can do whatever they what and when questioned just say its classified in the interests of national security and shut the case down. Of course the public just has to accept them at their word, a currency that holds little weight anymore due to many lies from them over a long period of time. Also being an annoying rules stickler is not a criterion for prosecution, termination of employ, or even swatting. In fact he likely has grounds for a civil action case against the NSA for defamation that will never see the light of a court room as it will be classified that this even took place.
"Random message board comments are NOT journalism and should NOT be protected as such."
The trouble is, I think, not so much whether or not it was posted on a message board, random or not, but how she posted it. If she came out and said:
person-x is a douchebag and should go to jail",
that is not journalism.
If, however, she said:
"Person-x has committed these crimes as evidenced by this evidence which is punishable under this law by this penalty, etc. etc. etc."
She is coming forth with a news story that has evidential support and merit. Work she has provided, through research and effort on her part, in order to develop a story based on fact on the actions of person-x, is what makes this a story. The case should have been over when she showed the judge, with private information redacted as allowed by the 1st amendment, her story and evidence.
Effort was put into this to make a story, as such she likely has research into her story. That makes it journalism. This is not someone saying I want to claim journalistic privilege so I do not get in trouble. That argument is not what is at hand here and shouldn't even come up. This is I am a journalist, I worked hard to develop a news story, now I am being accused of not being such despite all my work into creating this story because the point of publish is not "acceptable". Ultimately, who cares as long as the story has been researched and the story follows that research.
@Joe Publius
Or in all the areas.
You know restricting competition is the direction they want to take I vehemently disagree but if they do go that route there should be some serious salary caps put in place. The system should force money into research and development in such a way that if big pharm wants to operate this way it will be done in a way that maximizes money going towards innovation and limits salaries and bonuses to CEO's, presidents, COO's, CFO's, department leads etc. Expand the research department significantly with all that extra money. Now I am not saying we should pay the researchers minimum wage, they spent a lot of time and money to get where they are and we can afford to reward that effort but lets reward the people doing the work rather than the ones signing off on it.
You beter copyright that plot line before someone else uses it. Make sure you come up with every possible variation and do some copyrighting on those as well ;)
Really though, I am trying to go to NAIT, unfortunately I simply can not afford too because of the costs. I get a lot of "well take out a loan" but in the words of the non-original AC, that "is not a solution." I know the loans are designed for students but the fact of the matter is simply that a system designed to force people into debt creates an unstable economic system as a whole. Cheaper books and coursepacks would be a start in taking the debt load off of people trying to develop their skills to help improve the world.
lol, are you my brother? That really sounds like something he would say. :)
I hear a lot of, as Chris puts it "pissing and moaning", about the so-called piracy of various forms of media. What is not talked about very often is how difficult it is to find older movies, shows, songs or whatever. The laws keep lengthening the copyright terms but nothing is done to ensure that access is not lost. In fact the organizations regularly fail to give access to their media then sue and claim losses when they discover someone downloaded it.
It is frustrating. No sales are being lost, the product is not available for sale by anybody. Yet when a copy is downloaded and discovered you can bet you will hear about how families are going hungry because someone downloaded said product. Perhaps if common sense was legally enforced there would not be an issue.
Of course, like Sheldon in "Big Bang Theory", one could just steal the film from the theator and thus gain access too a high quality full length version. :P
@ dwg - I doubt Vodafone-India worries about that because India has no such laws, although some statutes could be extrapolated to be used in that fashion they are not built for anti-SLAPP uses.
as per information I found at http://www.inhouselawyer.co.uk/index.php/india/9307-slapp-suits-in-the-indian-context
@ abc gum - Ya no kidding. Anytime a system designed to facilitate the spread of potentially private information fails to give the users protection of privacy by default, there is a problem. Per post public access should be available as an opt-in with the ability to opt-out later with warnings to the effect that once made public opting out may not prevent its access. Full public opt-in access should be used carefully and definitely not be on by default; also warnings should be in place to notify the user that it is on to prevent it being changed accidentally.
@ Prinsoner201 - lol.
@ PrometheeFeu - It is cool that they contacted you and apologized and explained themselves, despite failing to give you a deal. Understandable I guess, in a sense. Even more cool that they worked with you rather than suing you and being douche-bags.

Tempesta di Mare, Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra, will bring its 2010-11 season to a close with a pair of concerts this coming weekend. The first takes place at 8 p.m. Friday, May 20, in the Arch Street Friends Meeting House, 320 Arch St. in Old City. The repeat is scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday, May 21, in the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, 8855 Germantown Ave. Soprano Laura Heimes will be the guest soloist. There is a pre-concert talk with admission set at $5. Call 215-755-8776 or visit www.tempestadimare.org.
The program pairs "Ino," a dramatic cantata that Georg Philipp Telemann composed in 1765, with instrumental works in a similar vein by Johann Friedrich Fasch and Johann Gottlieb Janitsch. The performances mark modern-day firsts for each score on the program.
Prior to these concerts, all modern editions of Telemann's "Ino" were based on one manuscript. During Tempesta's recent tour of Germany, the group's co-directors Richard Stone and Gwyn Roberts had the opportunity to consult a previously unavailable earlier score and several sets of orchestral part-books from the Berlin Sing-Akademie collection. They compared the various sources, stripped away layers of markings added in later decades and restored music that had been crossed out.
The story of "Ino" as set in the libretto by Karl Wilhelm Ramler comes largely from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." It is one of many myths in which mortals become collateral damage in the ongoing marital dispute between Jupiter and Juno, the king and queen of the ancient gods of Greece and Rome. Telemann composed his setting of "Ino" at the tender age of 84, very near the end of his career and life — proof positive of Telemann's astonishing and inspiring talent, range and vitality. The program also includes Fasch's "Concerto in D" and Janitsch's "Overture Grosso."
The Metropolitan Ballet Company, 700 Cedar Rd. in Jenkintown, will hold auditions for its boys' scholarship dance program 9 a.m. Saturday, June 4, at its studios. Lisa Collins Vidnovic, founder and artistic director of the school, said that as many as 15 boys, ages 7 – 11 and 12 – 18, will be selected to receive a full year of weekly dance lessons with William DeGregory, artistic director of the Pennsylvania Ballet II, the training company for the Pennsylvania Ballet. DeGregory was a longtime principal dancer with the company. For more information, call 215-663-1665 or visit www.metropolitanballetcompany.org.
Chestnut Hill College will celebrate its newly acquired "All-Steinway" status and host a Performathon starting Friday, May 20, through Sunday, May 22, in the East Parlor of St. Joseph Hall. Students will be performing during the weekend at the following times: May 20 from 3 to 8 p.m.; May 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and May 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Performathon will bring local young musicians to play for the public and raise funds for the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House charity. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 215-248-7194 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Chief conductor Charles Dutoit welcomed violin virtuoso Gil Shaham and the women of the Philadelphia Singers Chorale to join him and the Philadelphia Orchestra for a series of concerts this weekend in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. In contrast to many concerts earlier in the season, Saturday night's audience nearly packed the 2,500-seat hall.
The program consisted of two works by Englishmen: the "Violin Concerto" of William Walton (1902-1983) and "The Planets" by Gustav Holst (1874-1934). The pairing, and the resultant nearly full house to hear it, made me wonder if such a national focus approach to programming might not benefit the orchestra in its attempt to draw a larger and more devoted audience by offering series of programs that link music by French, Italian or Spanish composers. Perhaps a series featuring violin and/or piano concerti might also do the trick? Or how about a series of classical symphonies to appeal to that portion of the audience that treasures tradition? Or scores originally composed for ballets? Considering the dire straits the orchestra is now entering since filing for bankruptcy, it seems sensible that returning to the programming style of the musical directorship of Eugene Ormandy (1936-1980) might be a possible avenue leading to a revived popularity and prosperity.
Although I'm a lover of English music in general and the symphonies of Ralph Vaughan Williams in particular, I found Walton's "Violin Concerto" painfully dull Saturday evening. Even Shaham's prodigious technique and colorfully inflected tone couldn't save this academic workout from producing tedium.
Holst's "The Planets" gave Dutoit the chance to elicit from the Philadelphians the kind of sonic experience that once made them famous all over the world. Although there were occasional lapses in ensemble, and though the strings no longer offer their once-legendary sumptuous sheen, the suite of portraits of our solar system received a stirring rendition.

I'm by no definition a makeup junkie, but one product I could never live without is mascara. Obsessed. In my eyes (ha), the bigger and darker the lashes, the better. But there are so many to choose from! All of them claim to work -- the drugstore brands, the fancies -- but which ones really do?
I have an answer.
Because I have a really annoying job that sometimes requires me to do things like painstakingly peruse the aisles of Sephora (and CVS) in the quest for the perfect lash, I've concluded which mascaras (out of the 5 popular brands we tested) actually do what they claim.
And which one you need to get your hands on before New Year's Eve.
My methodology in choosing the five brands started with a little bit of research. And a dude at Sephora.
More from The Stir: The Best 8 Mascaras Under $20
Over the past year, there have been a few mascaras I've heard people talk about that made my ears perk up. One being Trish McEvoy's "tube" mascara. The whole concept behind tube mascara is, well, it "tubes" your lashes as opposed to "painting" them. It lengthens and thickens and literally will not come off unless you apply gentle pressure and warm water. But when I started Googling "tube mascara", something else kept coming up: Blinc.
After a few rave -- no, rave -- reviews on Blinc, I knew it had to be in the test. So I went to Sephora to purchase it -- and while I was there, I talked to a male employee (who had lashes for days), told him what I was doing, and he directed me to a favorite mascara of his: Tarte Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara. But as he handed me the product, he quickly glanced over his shoulder and whispered out of the side of his mouth: "But my favorite mascara is CoverGirl LashBlast. The one in the purple tube."
And that made three.
The other two I chose were Maybelline Great Lash, because good god, it has been around for about 100 years; and L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes, because a woman who trimmed my bangs had crazy Tammy Faye-esque lashes, and she said that's what she used. So, yeah: Five mascaras.
I enlisted my friend to test out the mascaras, since I'm more of a behind-the-scenes gal. We tried one mascara every day for a week, took photos, and then Briele reported back as to how the makeup fared as the day went on. (Spoiler alert 1: Great Lash and hot yoga do not mix.)
Anyway, enough babbling. On to the photos.
Okay, here's the Amazonian Clay. It's, in a word, pretty great. Okay, that was two words, but that's the god's honest truth. Is it the greatest mascara I've ever laid eyes on? No. But it definitely thickens and lengthens much better than others -- I mean, look at it. And it's worth noting that there are no parabens or synthetic dyes in this product, and at $19, it really is a pretty good deal. If you're looking for a bold mascara with natural(ish) ingredients, Tarte's Amazonian Clay is definitely worth your money. Think Minnie Mouse type lashes. Also, worth mentioning: It's supposed to improve your lashes over time, repairing, rebuilding, and strengthening. We didn't have time to test that.
Next was Blinc. (Our runner-up.) This really is a good mascara. A tad pricey at $26, but it does. Not. Come. Off. You have to apply this mascara quickly, as it "dries" after two minutes -- and then that's it; doesn't move. Briele endured an entire hot yoga class with nary a streak on her face. Also, it definitely gives you a bold lash, if that's what you're going for. And it lengthens. (You should know, though: When taking off Blinc, it looks like your eyelashes are coming out -- they're not.)
CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion. The winner in our eyes. Pun intended. Sephora dude was right -- this mascara is no joke, and it literally will not clump no matter how hard you try (we tried). Briele's eyes popped after LashBlast -- more so than with the others. And at $8.49, it's really a no-brainer.
Sadly, L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes (gold tube) was last on our lash list. It really didn't do much -- we were going for wow factor here. This didn't deliver. But if you skew towards a more natural look, this one might be for you.
And then there was Maybelline Great Lash, the product that's been around for eons and always seems to win awards in magazines. It was ... okay. Nothing special to report here. However, Briele did go to a hot yoga class wearing this, and the result, in her words, was: "Not pretty. I looked like a raccoon." In all fairness, Briele didn't go to hot yoga classes in the other (non-tube) mascaras. The same thing could have happened.
So, yeah, CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion is the winner here. (And it -- as well as Great Lash and Voluminous -- comes in brown, if you're into that sort of thing.) But if you're looking for a mascara that's going to stay on all day and night, then Blinc is more your speed. (Seriously, it doesn't move.) If you just want a bold, look-at-me eye for the night, and you don't feel like driving to a Sephora (or shelling out too much cash), LashBlast is the way to go.
Trust us, we're experts.
What's your favorite mascara?

High-Octane Nursing
Stephen Borkowski / Monster Staff Writer
If you're an adrenaline junkie seeking a lifetime of adventure, look no further than emergency nursing, where you could work to save lives in high-pressure situations. Here's a look at some of the aspects that set this niche apart.
The Thrill
According to Carol Howat, RN, BSN, a nurse in the emergency room of Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois, for more than a decade, it's adrenaline that keeps her alert to respond to the volume and variety of patients moving through the ER.
"You hear the overhead page 'trauma alert, three minutes,' and in those three minutes your heart starts beating faster," says Howat, a certified emergency nurse (CEN). "You don't get nervous, but your adrenaline starts pumping."
High overhead, Teri Campbell's blood is flowing as she leaps into action. Campbell, RN, BSN, CEN, is the chief flight nurse for Air Angels, a critical-care transportation provider based in West Chicago, Illinois. She and her teammates, one paramedic and one pilot, respond to emergencies in a Bell 222 EMS helicopter. "We're adrenaline junkies," she says. "We love the excitement of not knowing what's coming around the corner."
Ready for Anything
Having a wide range of skills at the ready is a must for emergency nurses, since they're called upon to respond to a range of medical emergencies. "We have any type of bizarre thing you can think of," Howat says. "Chances are in your career in the ER, you will see those rare things that you only see in textbooks." Howat has encountered parking lot births, foreign objects lodged in every place they shouldn't be, motorcycle parts stuck in legs and mental cases who truly thought they were on a bus to Sesame Street.
Whether landing in a cornfield or at an industrial complex, Campbell says a flight nurse must know how to adapt. Her team unexpectedly discovered injured children as the wreckage of a car accident was being dismantled. "All of a sudden, our whole scene has changed," she says. "We have to instantly change our plan, change our equipment, change our medication."

2007 Nissan Sentra ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new, larger and more sophisticated.
The all-new 2007 Nissan Sentra is the sixth generation of a car that has been a best-seller around the world. Unlike the first five generations, the '07 Sentra was designed primarily for the needs of North American buyers. That's quite a commitment to the belief that the U.S. is where it's at, for this market.
But we want our small cars big, so the Sentra moves into that territory. Those who want truly small cars have other options: the Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and all-wheel-drive Suzuki SX4, to name a few.
The Sentra is aimed at Echo Boomers, those kids of Baby Boomers. So if the Sentra is the second car they've owned in their lifetime, it might be a step up in size. Nissan believes that these folks virtually live in their cars, so in designing the new Sentra, they've tried to create a 'mobile backpack.'
The cabin is more spacious, and is finished like a more expensive car, with wonderfully supportive seats in either cloth or rich leather. One thing the Sentra doesn't have, surprisingly, is a fifth door: no hatchback model, only the sedan. But at least the 60/40 rear seats fold flat, opening up the trunk space, creating a large flat cargo area, or a cozy space for two Echo Boomers to sleep.
There's an all-new aluminum 2.0-liter engine, more powerful and fuel efficient than before, to go with the new chassis and body. It's mated to either a wonderful six-speed gearbox, or an optional new CVT, continuously variable transmission. If you like a manual gearbox in a car like this, the six-speed transforms the feel of the Sentra, and it's the way to go; but if you just want to forget the car has a transmission, the CVT is the call.
There are three models of Sentra, the 2.0, 2.0S and 2.0SL. Each uses Nissan's brand new 2.0-liter four-cylinder aluminum engine, making 140 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. The standard transmission in the 2.0 and 2.0S is a sporty six-speed manual, but a new high-tech and fuel-efficient Nissan Xtronic CVT is available for those two models ($800) and this Continuously Variable Transmission comes standard on the 2.0SL.
Standard equipment with the Sentra 2.0 ($14,750) includes cloth seats, air conditioning, halogen headlamps, 15-inch steel wheels, remote manual mirrors, four-way adjustable manual front seats, 60/40 split fold-down rear seats, power windows, power door locks, electric power steering, and AM/FM/CD with four speakers. Cruise control is unavailable. Anti-lock brakes are optional ($250).
The 2.0S adds 16-inch steel wheels, six-way manual driver's seat, power mirrors, remote entry, a six-speaker sound system, illuminated steering wheel audio controls, and vehicle information display. ABS is still optional, and at least Cruise control is available.
The 2.0SL adds leather interior, 16-inch alloy wheels, ABS with brake force distribution, keyless ignition, cruise control, and Bluetooth hands-free phone technology.
For all models, foglamps ($270) and rear deck lid ($210) are optional. A clever original feature called the Divide-n-Hide trunk (a secret space behind the rear seats) is optional with the 2.0S and 2.0SL, as is satellite radio wiring.
Safety equipment is extensive on all models, including dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, full length curtain airbags, active front seat headrests, and a tire pressure monitoring system. It seems odd that anti-lock brakes aren't standard, and electronic stability control isn't available.
Nissan has brought the Sentra more into the family, with styling from a clean sheet of paper. It looks like a scaled-down Maxima now, with all the right curves, lines, and sculpted shapes. From every angle, it looks like a new Nissan, with its crisp character lines. Special attention has been paid to the grille, front fascia, big trapezoidal halogen headlamps, and steeply raked windshield.
Large door openings make it easy to climb in and out, and a high, distinctive rear deck offers ample trunk space.
The 2007 Sentra is 4 inches higher and 3.2 inches wider than before, and has a wheelbase 5.9 inches longer while only increasing the overall length by 2.3 inches, so there's a lot less of the body hanging over the wheels. This means better balance on the road. And the latest chassis are safer, with crush zones built into less space. Everything about a car is packaged so much more efficiently, today, in the cabin and under the hood. The Sentra is no exception.
You'll make no compromises in looks, comfort, safety or style, to have this inexpensive compact car in your driveway.
Nissan is marketing the Sentra toward those so-called Echo Boomers and their alleged non-stop lifestyle. There's an upcoming funny commercial featuring a rumpled Echo Boomer who makes a documentary of himself living 24/7 in his Sentra. So what does the Sentra have that will appeal to a life like that? One thing, for example, is a locking glovebox deep enough to hold a laptop computer. There's also an integrated removable CD holder on the headliner above the driver's sun visor; cupholders that are adjustable for 20-ounce bottles, 32-ounce mega cups, or cellphones and DVDs; and pockets with see-through netting on the backs of the front seats for passengers' cellphones and iPods.
With 97.4 cubic feet of cabin space, the '07 Sentra has more room than the Mazda3, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Chevy Cobalt, in that order. In trunk volume, the Cobalt makes up for it, with 13.9 cubic feet, compared to the Sentra's 13.1; but the Sentra has something simple but clever, in its optional (2.0S and 2.0SL) 'Divide-N-Hide' trunk. The trunk is so deep that it can accept a false folding back, creating a secret space about 20 inches wide, just behind the rear seat.
We spent time in both a bare-bones Sentra 2.0 with cloth seats, and the fully equipped 2.0SL with leather. We loved the supportive feel of the cloth seats; they embrace your back like a good hug, and are neither too firm nor too soft. The leather is plush for a compact car.
The four-speaker sound system in the 2.0 was okay, and the six-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system with in-dash 6-disc CD system in the 2.0SL was great.
The longer wheelbase with shorter overhangs results in more legroom for the rear seat passengers. When there's no one back there, the 60/40 split rear seat drops flat, to open up the space into the trunk. There's no problem fitting a bicycle (or maybe two) back there, through the trunk; two friendly Echo Boomers could even sleep back there.
But the new instrument panel might be the nicest aspect of the interior. Again, very stylish, and functional too. The instruments are sharp, the controls easy to operate, and the center stack features a strong-looking shift lever rising out at a 45-degree angle. The trim around it all is a handsome flat silver.
Driving Impression
The new engine brings the 2007 Nissan Sentra into the world of high-tech inline fours, with its aluminum block and head, continuously variable valve timing, and electronic fuel injection. It makes 140 horsepower (same as the '06 Honda Civic, 14 hp more than the Toyota Corolla and 10 hp less than the Mazda3), but it's been designed to produce strong torque; with 147 pound-feet, it beats those others. In fact, 132 pound-feet are available at 2400 rpm, down low where you want it. Torque is important because it's needed for acceleration at lower rpm.
Our Sentra 2.0 zoomed up freeway on-ramps, and felt like it belonged in the fast lane. The flow of traffic in northern California was more than 80 mph, and the Sentra ran 90 with ease. The engine wasn't loud and didn't feel strained at that pace, although under full-throttle acceleration it was a bit noisy from 5000 rpm up to its redline of 6500.
The Sentra is EPA rated at 29 city and 36 highway miles per gallon, with the new CVT transmission, as in our test model. This is the third generation of that transmission, and the technology improves in leaps. The main benefit with a CVT is less internal friction, for better gas mileage. With only two ranges, high and low, it's smoother because there's less shifting, although the sound is odd, like the car is winding up. And the surge when you floor it is pretty aggressive. The 2007 Nissan Altima has a manual mode for the CVT transmission, turning it into a six-speed; but the Sentra, alas, does not.
The suspension is a new independent configuration in front, with a torsion beam in the rear, a compact design with separate shocks and coil springs that allows more room for the trunk that's above it. It's firm in a quality kind of way, yet never harsh or uncomfortable. It feels rugged and inspires confidence, out there in the cruel world of potholes.
The brakes feel even better. Vented 11-inch discs in front and drums in rear. It's unfortunate that ABS isn't standard except in the 2.0 SL, especially considering all the other standard safety equipment; but at least the option is only $250. We recommend it because the anti-lock brakes allow you to brake and steer at the same time in a panic stop.
The Sentra uses electric power steering, as opposed to hydraulic. It's speed-sensitive, which means the feel is lighter when parking and heavier out on the freeway, as it should be.
The word that applies to every aspect of the all-new 2007 Sentra is solid. Nissan has nailed this one, from a design standpoint. It's got a new engine, chassis, styling and interior, all of which are excellent and will keep the Sentra near the top of its competitive class of well-built cars. For the price, the Sentra is a great value.

First Impressions of 4.2
"Oh my god there is a lot of trash" was my first impression of the Firelands instance. It actually wasn't so bad when I got past Shannox, but it seemed like we were killing trash forever just to get him to spawn. Combine that with the Starfall buff that was causing it to hit trash not in combat and it got hairy at times. Unfortunately for me I discovered this sad fact when we were standing near the death turtles. That was not a good time.
All in all none of the trash packs weren't too bad on there own, and they dropped lots of patterns for us, but the quantity of them was overwhelming. I didn't count at the time, but we killed at least a dozen packs of trash (and probably more) before Shannox spawned. I'm glad that they increased the respawn rate on that center trash to four hours, but that's not enough in my opinion. They need to thin it out a little bit and have Shannox spawn more quickly. As it is, I think it's worse then the BoT trash, which is not a the way you want to start an instance in my opinion.
Going in to the night I thought Shannox would be the easiest boss we tried. Turned out he was the most difficult of the three we attempted. The fact that all of the mobs are now untauntable threw us for a little bit of a loop like most guilds. We also used only two tanks when it sounds like a lot of guilds were using 3 or 4. However, none of that really impacts me directly.
From my perspective, I had this vision of multi doting nirvana going into the fight. Yes, there is a strong don't stand in the fire element, but that generally isn't a problem for me so I wasn't expecting big issues. It didn't work out that way. First off, the traps are tiny. When one was put directly on me I could barely see the teeth around my feet. If a trap is put in front of me, I might not see it at all due to being an overweight moonkin. As a result I got trapped a lot more then I like to admit. Second, my guild is very heavy on DoT classes. We have two moonkin, two shadow priest, and four warlocks. Not all of them were in raid at the same time, but having so many multi-doters meant we didn't have as many people consistently on Rageface as we thought and it made Face Rage a little more difficult then expected. You wouldn't think getting a 30k hit on him with an increased crit rate would be that difficult, but with only a couple DD classes, range issues, and traps it proved to be more difficult then expected.
All in all, I thought it was a good fight, but not quite what I expected going in.
Lord Rhyolith:
As a moonkin I found this fight to be quite annoying, and lot simpler then I expected. Our biggest problem of the night was accidental pulls. Without those we would have had him down in just two or three pulls. After that the big issue was multi-dotting the legs. We thought that doting both legs would increase the damage without making the boss harder to turn. We were wrong. Once we stopped doting the legs the fight was easy. My job was just to kill the adds, and once his shell came off it was a simple tank and spank.
As add dps I found the fight to be quite boring. I had quite a bit of down time waiting for adds to spawn, and the burn phase didn't feel all that threatening. On the other hand, the GM of my guild (who is also a moonkin) really liked the fight. He was helping with the steering of the boss and I can see how that could be a lot of fun.
After reading a few strats and looking at the boss abilities I thought this one would be hard. The fight has two levels with lots of adds. I though the coordination of the fight would cause a lot of headaches, and it did until we realized a couple things.
Our first issue was controlling the Drones and the Spiderlings. We didn't organize our efforts much at the start. The spiderlings were getting to the drone, and all hell was breaking lose. To fix this we started trying to control the Spiderlings from their spawn point, and Moonkin are pretty well designed for this. With the typhoon knockback and Fungal Growth we can slow down the spiders quite a bit. The problem then became DPS on the spiderlings. Since I was starting at zero power my mushrooms, typhoon, dots and hurricane were weak, and there is no good way to get to solar quickly. As a result I had a hard time getting my set of spiderlings down in time. I'm sure with more practice I could get it, but it wasn't obvious to start.
Then we realized the second important fact. DPS on Beth'tilic doesn't matter in the first stage of the fight. Once we left all of the DPS on the ground and only sent a tank and a few healers into the web it was easy. The second stage was once again a simple tank and spank.
Lunar Shower:
First of all, there is a nice discussion going on at EJ regarding Lunar Shower. I suggest you check it out if you haven't already.
Originally I had expected to keep Lunar Shower since, I didn't have a good idea of what to spend the talent points on, but after realizing that Shannox would be a first boss of the night I ended up dropping it to improve my multi dot potential.
Obviously I can't make any lasting conclusions based on three normal bosses, but the impression I got from my first night of Firelands raiding was that using or dropping LS didn't really matter a ton. Not having it on Shannox made multi doting easier, but Shannox was more about control and personal responsibility rather then DPS so multi-doting wasn't critical and may have caused a little tunneling. On Lord Rhyolith, the fragments can be dotted, but they don't last that long, so dotting might not be ideal. Other then those adds the fight is completely single target. Beth'tilic has plenty of mobs that can be dotted, but my role in the fight was centered around control rather then DPS. On the other hand having Lunar shower to proc Solar Eclipse in the beginning could have helped. At this point I'm still up in the air.
8 comments:
We 2 tanked Shannox. The Riplimb tank kited him around to traps to help the debuff fall off. It all about the offtank in that fight.
Beth was a bore. I still have no idea what was going on. We pushed P2 with her around 90%+.
Rhyo was another bore. I was on leg duty and it seemed that add duty was a bit more fun. Multi-dotting and cleaving is definitely a bad thing on the legs.
As a spoiler:
Assuming you won't be flying around for the bird boss, there's limited opportunity to multi-dot, BUT if you're extra aware of the boss's pat during P1 while you handle the adds, you can maintain your dots on him. (I need to work on this.) P2 is a joke. Dodge tornados while dpsing. P3 is a tunnel phase for dps.
Gatekeeper is a straight tunnel fight if you're not part of the 2! 6man! rotations for crystals. Even if you are, it's still slight.
Major has a bit of multi-dot opportunity (cat-phase), but I haven't killed him yet. We'll have him sorted out tonight and hopefully be dispatching Rag as well.
Note: I don't play a boomkin as a main. My alt's a boomkin on the side and not a very good one. I'm ele at heart. ;)

We spent too much time on Shannox, so it's the only boss I've done. We'll try and kill more tonight.
I really missed some kind of DoT tracking across multiple targets. TidyPlates wouldn't cut it, because the camera is never far enough to have it on screen.
Also, there's definitely something wrong with traps. I know they have an arming time, but sometimes I'd get trapped without seeing the trap under me at all. Watching my feet like a hawk didn't help, so I had to keep dancing around while reapplying DoTs at least just to make sure I wouldn't look stupid.
- June 30, 2011 at 11:14 AM
Forte eXorcist def helps on Shannox as the nameplates are often off camera. Of course, if you refresh all your dots at the same time, it's not needed.
- June 30, 2011 at 6:36 PM
Another thing that helps with Shannox is using DXE instead of DBM, it will give you the "run away, little girl" warning when a crystal trap spawns on you.

The spider boss is so freaking awesome, it's like it was made for Boomkins :D. We didn't manage to kill it, but we didn't realise we could leave all the dps on the ground to make the drone killing easy. Cheers for that tip!
We ended up going for a strategy of taunting the spiders off the ropes and over to the drone, having single-target classes stay on the drone and AOE classes aoe the drone and spiders. For the spiderlings, we actually didn't have trouble with them getting close to the drone. Running all the way over to the spawn point would be a waste of DPS time, and it shouldn't really be required. We'd meet the spiderlings half way between the spawn and the drone and get them down with time to spare using one boomkin and one hunter. Fungal growth is essential but we really need a second slow effect from somewhere to cover enough area. Glyph of monsoon was also a bit of a help, and replaced my glyph of innervate. I had no issue with getting into solar before the first spiderling spawn, I just used the hanging spiders for that.
As boomkin, my damage in this fight was absolutely ludicrous. I don't know how anyone else is finding it, but I consistently did 29-30% of the phase 1 damage in ten man. I stayed in solar eclipse for most of the fight using a high-mastery build that stops stacking haste after the 1929 breakpoint (think I'm sitting on 1950). I just kept dots rolling on every big target and used typhoon, mushrooms and multidotting to manage the spiderlings. In downtime between spiderling spawns I'd refresh dots on big targets and drop a pack of mushrooms on them for some damage and to apply earth and moon.
Am looking forward to killing that boss and trying out some of the other encounters, sounds like Shannox is going to be good for Boomkin too.
With our ability to innervate healers for 25-30% of their mana using Furor gone, I made a few changes to how I handle mana management. Dropped all points in Furor, Moonglow and Lunar Shower completely. Replaced them with Dreamstate, Fungal Growth and Perseverence. I'm DEFINITELY liking this change. Multi-dotting costs more mana, but the 50% self-innervates make it perfectly viable to still do it and stay in solar for most of a fight. Lining it up with int procs is even more ridiculous, I can't wait to get that awesome on-activate int trinket :D. 5% to a healer's mana is 1-2 casts, it's pathetic. I just told my guild that it's not worth innervating healers any more, and with the talent changes I probably save them more than 5k mana every 3 minutes by taking less damage through perseverence.
The T11 4set nerf made it a good idea to get rid of two parts and get some better itemised gear I had lying around (resto t11 hands and passive resistor spaulders). That definitely helped to stack more mastery for aoe fights, which there seem to be a lot of in Firelands :D.

Only Shannox and Beth here. Ww still didn't make it on rhyo - nice tip, will stop multidotting the legs, even if it doesn't make much sense as the damage should be compensated, but well.
About Shannox - seems a good fight to keep lunar shower, because after a round of solar multidotting you will be able to travel to lunar quicker, and then from lunar to solar again.
On Beth, what I try to do is to kill some center adds asap to move to solar before the first wave - not always possible, indeed, they go down fast as hell and we need to fit in our longer cast nuke. I had glyph of hurricane ready for that one but it wasn't needed. Me and a hunter were more than enough to clean a corner.

I've done Beth, Alys, Lord Rhyo, Majordomo, and 1 pull on Rag (was out for Shannox and Baleroc).
Beth is an awesome fight for balance druids. I had lunar showers the whole night. I ended up 1st on dmg. I'm going to try taking out lunar showers next week and see if my DPS increases. If you have a hunter trapping the spiderlings where they spawn, dropping mushrooms is very easy and a huge dps gain on them. Spamming MF/SF on them and on the spinners was what I did most of the time. The only real rotation dps I did was on the drones and on Beth when she was on the ground.
Alys is a very interesting fight and probably my favorite. I was originally killing the bird add, then the hatchling, but was swapped to solid hatchling dps due to it not dying fast enough. I tried to keep dots up on Alys while she was flying around, but realized that with our dps it was just a waste of time, since she wasnt always in front of me, or was out of range. The main thing i would say, is try to keep dots up on the hatchlings at all times if you on add duty, or vice versa.
Domo is probably my least favorite. If you can organize raid cooldowns, the fight is not terribly difficult. Infact we wiped more on the trash in front of him than the boss itself. If your raid starts off in scorpion, the fight has a good 30+ second burn phase where you just stand there and nuke. There isn't a whole lot of movement so the fight is pretty boring.

FurBQ Afternoon Crowd
FurBQ Afternoon Crowd
Event in full swing, with nice weather and some shade under all these trees.
Rolling through March, we have stayed behind the scenes making sure we really consider what we plan for this year's annual FurBQ. Without further ado, we can now say that we have secured our spot.
SoCal Furs' 20th annual FurBQ is happening this Fall, on Saturday November 10th. We will have plenty of time to bust out some picnic supplies. The FurBQ is a long standing tradition and we will return to our green and shady spot within Irvine Regional Park
Please go to the full Event Calendar Posting for a full rundown of information
Finding a date was challenging this year, as the Canyon Fire took out one of the four Reserved picnic areas. This created heavy competition for the remaining three reserved spaces. The November slot we chose was the only one available After the Pumpkin Patch festival: The alternative would have been too early in September (the week after Labor Day), which would have made it a true FurBQ (All those overheated fursuiters and costumers). Our Past Fall FurBQs, held on Nov 16th 2013 and Nov 14 2015, both fared well with the cooler weather and were enjoyed by everyone despite the shorter park time.
In the next 6 months, we have some ideas and plans. We will keep you informed with our social media network of sites. Overall, we have been wanting to do something special for our community. With this being our 20th year, its destined that we should have something to commemorate all these awesome memories.
Sometimes when you find something that is so much fun…. you just gotta bring a friend (or two… or three…). The sheer experience of organizing something this big for this many people is astounding. With a few breaths taken, we have our post-FurBQ report..
Labor Day has given way for rainstorms (yes… in August) and it has drawn us inside. While we have been cooped up, we have begun the annual "crunch time for FurBQ". Stego and Kat have been looking over supplies, making lists and otherwise keeping track of all that awaits us in 3 weeks. We got the reservation, and a budget for meat (and starter items for our early crowd), and we are almost ready to go
… however, we have decided to do some rearranging of our space within our rented group area (Group Area 3). Please look at our updated calendar entry, which gives all information about our event and includes info about our FREE grilling areas for those that like to get proactive about cooking good food.
Regarding other events, we have been checking in with organizers and our September and October months have gotten some returning events, as well as some modifications. Please check out the calendar to see all the updates.
If you havent yet connected, check out the SoCal Furs Network (as well as in our sidebar) to find the network that works best for you. One addition is that we now have a Facebook page. In working within our community, and with some patience for Facebook itself, we can now get the information flowing there. Its only a simple page right now, but we are using it as a way to gather Facebook event postings from things that appear on our calendar.
March has come and we find ourselves with this long awaited piece of news concerning our annual event. While all that wonky webpage stuff was happening, Stego and Kat have been checking into whats possible for FurBQ 2017. As many know, FurBQ traditionally happened in the spring months. However, with the added necessity of using a reserved group area (due to our crowd size) and the changing of some local events, its become necessary to place our annual FurBQ event in the fall.
Last year's date of September 17th really worked well for us, with that week being just when the weather starts to get comfortable (especially for the fursuiters). However, from talking with the park rangers and Reservations, we learned that October is entirely blocked out due to the parking situation created from Irvine Regional Park's annual pumpkin patch event.
So, with all that is possible, we have put in our reservation request. The $300 fee has been paid,and we are ready to roll. I can say that with advanced planning (from choosing to do this in the fall only), we will have more time to work on the event and make improvements. Feel free to view the event posting on our calendar and make your plans now.
Well! That sure was fun! Over a week later, we can now say we have recovered from the SoCal Furs End of Summer FurBQ. In fact, we have been using the week to reflect and take it all in….
As usual, FurBQ began at 3:30 when our alarm sounded, we hopped out of bed, and got into our pre-packed car. Making the journey from San Bernardino, we ran into a bit of off-peak construction before making our way to the 91. In addition to traffic, we looked to the skies (and weather reports), and found that any lingering concerns about rain was eased. We arrived at the park just minutes before it opened, watching the sky light up as the sun rose to meet us.
While Stego went to add signs along the park road, Kat and friend Howlie parked at the site and began uploading. Within a short time, others showed up. Help was offered, which we took, and soon we formed areas for food as different things were brought. Signs got placed along the perimeter. One of the early arrivals had a whole setup for offering a morning coffee hour, with extra tables and carafes greeting a surprised Kat.
By about 10:45, there was a steady stream of furs trickling in. Our group had started to use parking in lots a site or two over so we needed help in bringing people's food up while the other party parked at a lot farther away. Throughout the day, the crowd grew and by lunch hour, it seemed that we had a more dramatic increase of people coming. We even had some entertainment by the father of one of our attendees, as he had brought his guitar.
A group of furs from San Diego came up and set up a changing tent, encouraging us to grab some Gatorade and water to place in the tent so people could hydrate when they wanted to have a break from fursuiting. While our food supply was constantly added to by new arrivals, it was around 4:30 when we started to actually see a dent in key items like water, soda and Gatorade. Just like ice, these are the items that we can never have too much of.
From those brand new to fandom to the people who have attended over many years, we can say this is an event where you can be surrounded by furries at any given time. At the same time, the nearby areas (not part of Group Area 3) gave people enough space if they felt overwhelmed from the crowd. Even some of our long time friends (that we had not seen in forever) ended up stopping by. We counted about 190-215 furs attending at the peak time of our event. Stego and Kat considered that the money for the reservation was well spent because, while there were a lot of us, it was easy for our crowd to move around the space and not feel cramped.
Even the Rangers would make a point to stop by our area, sometimes to check on us and other times to take in the colorful costumes. Sometime in the afternoon, our Ranger contact came by and asked if we could help get pictures of the fursuiters with some of the other park staff. Since the other staff could not leave the gate area of the park, the Ranger had an empty truck. Yalta Wolf took the passenger seat and then 4 more furs were placed in the back. We would love to see how the pictures turned out.
Once 6:30 came, it was time to close up shop. We started cooling the grill down and others helped consolidate food and other items into piles so we could sort further and get things put away. When you have furries frolicking in costume, its expected that we expand out of our space a bit so we even tackled areas outside of the Group Area #3 boundaries. I would say we had a decent handful of helpers and, after 2 hours, we could safely say that we got the picnic grounds back to the way they were (but also hopefully even cleaner and trash-free).
First off, we would like to thank our donors that helped with the initial reservation costs. Those donors are as follows: DoodlestheGreat, YashaTaur, Ultimus (SixLeafClover), Sandoz The Megatherium and Joran Zero
Thanks to the countless furs that contributed food or supplies which kept the food flowing. We are also grateful for people who brought and shared items that gave people fun activities as the day went on.
From our first year in this new spot, Stego and I have an idea of things we can do to improve the event for both the guests and for FurBQ staff. We had many people helping with the event as it went on but we can see areas where we might want to get more bodies to help. The place had emptied out by 7:00, leaving around 8-15 of us to clean up the park. With the increase in park space, we had more ground to cover.
We also noticed that the free grill areas did not get used. While we didn't expect they would get much use (due to this being our first time in this reserved area), next year's event will likely stress the free grilling areas a lot more so that furries who like a bit more independence know that these areas are available.
With every helpful group of people, our event seems to get better and better. So, if you get a random idea or suggestion for our event feel free to contact us, as we tend to get our planning started early enough before the event.
Yup. Over the years, we find that more than a few items end up left on the grounds. Here is what
currently resides remains for SoCal FurBQ 2016 Lost and Found inventory (Updated 2-22-2017)

Lillix Biography
Lillix was a pop/rock combo featuring guitarist Tasha-Ray Evin, older sister and keyboardist Lacey-Lee Evin, bassist Louise Burns, and drummer Kim Urhahn. While they were barely teenagers, the Evin sisters picked up instruments in the basement of their family home in rural Cranbook, British Columbia. With the enlistment of school pal Burns as bassist and additional vocalist, the band was officially on its way and was soon gigging throughout Cranbrook under the name Tigerlily. A rough demo found its way to Vancouver entertainment attorney Jonathan Simkin, who quickly recognized the band's potential and used industry contacts to tidy up the demo recording and shop it to Canadian and American labels. Maverick quickly bit, signing the combo in January 2001 after a showcase in label head Guy Oseary's L.A. office.br /br /With the Maverick deal in place, Tigerlily became Lillix, and the band's repertoire was fleshed out with the help of some industry pros. More showcases followed, drummer Urhahn was hired, and soon Lillix was recording their debut with a revolving door of producers and co-songwriters. Label shakeups and image workups led to Falling Uphill's two-year gestation; however, it was finally released in spring 2003. The album included contributions from red-hot producers and writers the Matrix (Avril Lavigne), Linda Perry (Pink), and Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette). Lillix's bouncy cover of the Romantics' "What I Like About You" was tapped as the theme to a WB sitcom of the same name; the group further supported their album with a tour of malls and summer radio festivals. Their second album, Inside the Hollow, which is slated for 2007, featured new drummer Alicia Warrington. Lillix also worked with producers James Michael and Jeff Saltzman, who brought a similar new wave-meets-modern-rock sheen to Inside the Hollow as he brought to the Killers' Hot Fuss. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Apple fans beware! A new email phishing campaign dangling a bogus $200 Apple Store gift card as bait to snag unsuspecting victims is making the rounds, according to security firm Webroot.
The email that arrives (see image above) looks strikingly similar to those that are sent by Apple, using the Apple logo and similar type styles. As usual with phishing campaigns, this deal sounds too good to be true — all you need to do is click a download link or open an attached file, and voila! A $200 gift card is yours! Well, not really — instead, performing either task installs Java-based malware that can pull personal data from your computer. That data could be enough to make you the victim of identity theft if you fall for this deadly hook.
Apple never just randomly sends out gift cards. In cases where the company has provided gift cards to customers, they're in much smaller amounts and done for some specific reason — like a rebate on a previous purchase. Apple also never displays a link to an external site or requires the download of an attachment. Another tell — Apple never refers to customers as "clients."
So, if you get an email in the next couple of months telling you about a $200 Apple Store gift card that you've magically received, dump it immediately. Do not click the link, and most assuredly do not look at the attachment. Be sure to pass this warning along to your less tech-savvy friends who might not read TUAW.

DC Environmental Law Externship
DC Environmental Law Externship
Course Number: LAW 895
Course Credits: 5-6
The DC Environmental Externship has two components: (1) a one-week classroom seminar conducted at Pace; and (2) seven weeks of supervised field work with a mentor attorney in a federal environmental agency, congressional office, public interest environmental organization or other appropriate institution located in the Washington, DC area. The program is supervised by full-time faculty members at Pace and an adjunct professor in Washington, DC. Students maintain work logs and journals, participate in a weekly seminar conducted by the Washington faculty member, and produce a substantial paper. This externship is designed to allow students to gain practical experience in the environmental legal arena with special emphasis on the type of legal work conducted in DC, but in a controlled learning situation, which enriches the students' more traditional academic instruction. The externship work is supervised primarily by the placement attorneys, but with support from Pace faculty. The students may engage in a variety of work, including analyzing legislative and regulatory issues, drafting advice memoranda, assisting with briefs and other legal activities. Some weekly seminars are devoted to discussion of individual assignments, for mutual consultation. Some fieldwork may be library research or other tasks related to the individual placements. Placements may include the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Departments of Justice, Interior, Energy and Agriculture; the Council on Environmental Quality, committees and subcommittees of Congress with environmental and land use responsibilities; and environmental public interest organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, the National Wildlife Federation and the National Audubon Society. Trade associations and private law firms offering pro bono placements may also participate. Permission of the professor, based upon application and usually interview, is required.

Over its 34-year history, the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts, has become a spiritual home to thousands and is now among the most respected centers for learning and deepening meditation practice. Based on curriculum first developed at IMS, the Insight Meditation online course invites you to experience one of history's great contemplative practices as it was taught by the Buddha himself, then passed friend to friend for more than 2,500 years.
This self-paced course was originally presented in a 12-week, intensive online learning program highlighted by live audio-learning sessions with IMS cofounders Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein. Our on-demand edition brings you these sessions as they happened, with an additional 17 hours of audio instruction and online workbook material with exercises, articles, and private journaling.
For most of us who have thought about meditation, the challenge has always been, "How do I get started and then keep going?" The Insight Meditation online course offers you the answer as you explore for yourself the Buddha's path to true freedom one moment at a time. Note: This online course is an adaptation of Insight Meditation: A Correspondence Course and includes essentially the same content as the original course.

Great introduction to Insight Meditation. Sharon and Joseph are excellent teachers. (Posted on March 19, 2012)
Review for Insight Meditation Review by Jazz Eastman
This wonderful course is incredibly well structured, clear and progressive introduction to insight meditation. leading one from the basic focus on the breath to working with a different facet of the practice in successive weeks. How to work with thoughts, emotions, the classic hindrances, metta and more. It is clear that the reviewers who gave this course 1 or 2 stars have not done it, so my advice is to read the reviews carefully. Whilst it is true there are many wonderful free resources on the web-I have over recent years listened to many hundreds of hours of meditaion and dharma talks- this offering is sooo worth it. One of the best purchases I've made this lifetime. (Posted on January 12, 2012)
Review for Insight Meditation Review by PuebloDoc
I did in the Insight Meditation Course, not online but in CD form. This course is a gold mine! I have always wanted to have a meditation practice and through this course I finally have one. I live in a remote area where there is no Buddhist temple. I have also heard other people comment that to be able to have such a complete, through and systematic presentation is hard to find. It is not often that a very wise and seasoned instructor starts at the very beginning and takes you step by step through what you need. Finally, I don't know of where else you can get the opportunity to talk on the phone to an instructor. This is not offered in the CD version of the course. There you have more of a letter correspondence. So, that seems like a nice opportunity. (Posted on November 22, 2011)
Review for Insight Meditation Review by Jose Miqui
Great material with powerful principles to practice. The insturctors Q&A sessions are awesome. I beleve that they are the best teachers in this practive. The online approach is very nice. I found out that chapter six is missing in the PDF document download provided and it is available on the main web page. Also, the MP3 files are very nice. However, the file names uses can cause clutter on your ipad player. It would be nice if they provide an email address to report these issues. I hope that someone will read this feedback and make some improvements. (Posted on August 4, 2011)
Review for Insight Meditation Review by Peter Efland
I was wondering for a while if I should take this course or not. I have read a number of books on meditation and buddhism over the last 10 years, but never taken an online course, and the price tag concerned me a bit. However, I can't say how impressed I am with this course. Shannon and Josef delivers a very extensive and deep course with hours and hours of quality podcasts on all the essential aspects of meditation practice. This course will give a broad and grounded foundation for any meditation practitioner, and it is well worth the money, even though the price tag might be a bit steep for many. Great course!

This sounds like a wonderful class but the time of day (night actually) is quite problematic for those of us on the left coast who must get up in the morning and go to work. I hope it will be offered again earlier in the evening. (Posted on December 24, 2009)

Sugar Free Low Fat Iced Cappuccino
Ok so I love love love Timmy's Iced Caps, but being type 2 diabetic don't get to have them when I want. And as I have written Tim Horton's many times requesting that they get with the times and start to offer sugar free and lower fat choices and never get anywhere with it.... I decided to go on a mission to make myself a good sugar free iced cappuccino! Well last spring I was in Danville Virginia at a great place called the Gingerbread house.... where lo and behold they MAKE sugar free iced caps! So I watched carefully as she made my third in as many days, and after much searching have now found the needed ingredients! Here is what worked and tastes great for me....
Take 1 1/4 cups skim milk and blend in 8 tsp. of General Foods International Sugar Free Swiss Mocha (or other flavour) coffee mix. Found this also in the US. However if you aren't in the States or near a border all these ingredients are available online.
Then blend in 1tbsp each of any 2 flavours you like, DaVinci Gourmet Syrups(found at US wal-mart in the coffee isle) has a few sugar free flavours.
Pour that into a blender, unless you already used the blender to blend it ... and add 1 1/4 cups or one full tray of ice cubes.
Use the pulse button until desired smoothness. It will also be a little frothy on top, but I like that. If you want to get really fancy for guests or pamper yourself you can add chocolate shavings on top of the froth! mmmm....
Some flavour combos I like are Coconut/Cherry and Hazelnut/Raspberry (all with the mocha flavour GFI mix of course). Pour them in a glass and enjoy with a straw....
and thumb your nose at the nearest Tim Horton's!!!
Oh and this recipe makes two large glasses!

That sounds awesome!
I hate coffee, but I love those Ice Caps! I used to have one every weekend, until someone told me how much fat, etc., is in them
Taken over by:
Jake - grey DSH (Aug '98) Alley - spazzy grey tabby (Aug '07)
I actually make a pitcher of iced coffee from time to time that tastes a lot like starbuck frappachino that costs $18.00 for a case of 12 at Costco. It's actually better than that stuff, but it's certainly not low fat or low sugar....I'll give yours a try and see how I like it.
ive had iced cappy no sweetmer it was really good however the beans were dead freshh ground 30 seconds before it got brewed
around here everyone assumes you want a low fat cappy i have to tell them whole milk they look at me like "whats that?"
Oh and I did the nutritional figuring (just by adding up my ingredients and dividing by two) and compared with Timmy's... my serving size is about an extra large at Timmy's and the Timmy's stats were from a small regular iced cap. And I don't know about you but the small never does it for me.
Mine / Timmy's
Calories- 86.25 / 250
Fat- 2g / 11g
Sodium- 98mg / 50mg

Protein- 4g / 2g
For those that count the calories etc. I mean 6g vs 33g!!

What is their response? Have you spoken with the owner of the one you go to the most - in my area, one fellow owns several and that is often the case. My brother's nest door neighbour owns 10 or so in his region of the Maritimes and so someone like that could take that to the company meetings. Esp at the regional level. What about writing Ron Joyce even tho he is no longer involved with the company, he is the type who would take that kind of thing seriously )He now lives ion Nova Scotia).
Good luck but I also applaud your initiative in creating your own. I do not care for the iced stuff myself- I like the hot but have an Espresso machine so try to emulate theirs -which I do prefer to Starbucks! We have fortunately two Tims in the hospital - and if one is desperate for Starbucks, there is a one at the student union of the univ with the med school up the street (in the Student Union bldg) and there are also many Tim's nearby as well as a "real" Starbucks (ie not one like in Chapters)
on a nearby street so I can get biscottis which I DO like, lol
