Interview with Lisa Olszak and Bob Zumstein about rattlesnakes/Marcellus Shale
by Ed Becker, Staff Writer/TheMarcellusShale.com (TMS)
First, the good news–no one has died from a snake bite in Pennsylvania in the last 25 years.
Now the bad news–there are still a number of people who are bitten in this state each year.
However the best news is that being bitten by a rattlesnake is largely avoidable if one employs common sense, takes necessary precautions, and listens to the experts who have considerable experience in dealing with the reptiles.
Drilling companies, particularly in the central northern tier of Pennsylvania, are indeed listening to the "experts"– in this case, Bob Zumstein and Lisa Olszak.
Earlier this year a driller was bitten and but did not require hospitalization. The incident has gotten the attention of drilling companies who find themselves working deeper in the backwoods, thus increasing the chance of encountering snakes—particularly the timber rattlesnake.
Bob and Lisa give presentations to drilling companies on precautions and how personnel should proceed when they come across venomous snakes. In fact, Lisa is interested in starting up a new business marketed exactly for this purpose.
Recently the married couple, whose shared interest is rattlers, gave an exclusive interview to TMS. In Part One, you'll find out why the paths of Marcellus Shale drillers are intersecting with Bob and Lisa, and how they want to educate the workers (and general public) about the facts regarding these creatures.
Joining Bob and Lisa in the TMS interview is Jim Chestney, Venomous Species Conservation Coordinator
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
TMS: First, let's learn a bit about your backgrounds. You both obviously have an interest in rattlesnakes. Tell me how that developed—was it something you set out to do or learn about, or did the interest attract you later in life?
I grew up in the country and my parents, who had nine children in twelve years, told us that the sun and fresh air made us grow faster. As a result, all of my siblings and I spent a lot of time outside in the hopes that we might grow to be faster, bigger and stronger. Much of our outdoor time was spent exploring the woods and being raised in a hunting family; we had a strong respect and admiration for animals.
In 2000, my wildlife biologist brother invited me to accompany him while searching for timber rattlesnakes. Prior to that time I had never seen a timber rattlesnake. From the first time I saw one I fell in love with their beauty and have been hooked ever since. Bob and I met searching rattlesnakes so I also have them to thank for bringing us together.
TMS: How about you, Bob? How did your interest in snakes develop?
Growing up, I was always around rattlesnakes. My grandfather was a rattlesnake advocate, taking snakes to the county fair for demonstration and education. As a young child, I would sneak over to my grandfather's snake pen to watch them flick their tongues and rattle their tails. When my grandmother saw me near the pen, she would scream, "Get away from that snake pen!"
Her screams were a losing battle because by the time I was twelve, my grandfather was teaching me to use my eyes, ears and nose to look for rattlesnakes. As a young adult I moved to Texas and discovered even more diversity in rattlesnakes. Shortly after I returned to Pennsylvania in the mid-1990s, my grandfather passed away and my uncle and I began exploring many of my grandfather's "old sites". Since then, every spring when the weather breaks, I am out observing the snakes.
TMS: Before we talk about the issues of gas drillers encountering snakes please give us a little education about the creatures. Talk about the top three things that people either don't know, or believe to be true about snakes in general, and timber rattlers in particular.
People tend to think that timber rattlesnakes are aggressive or will attack them. Unless provoked, these snakes prefer to flee from humans or lie motionless in hopes that they are unnoticed. The vast majority of bites occur when people attempt to poke, grab, step on or kill a snake.
A common misperception is that a rattlesnake bite will kill you. The reality is that Pennsylvania has not had a death from a rattlesnake bite in more than twenty-five years.
Because of many people's natural fear of snakes, they may believe, "The only good snake is a dead snake." All snakes, venomous included, play an important role in our ecosystem. They keep the rodent population in check and are now the focus of medical research. Cancer cures are one example.
TMS: What areas are of highest probability for encountering either the timber rattler, or other venomous snakes in Pennsylvania? In what PA counties are they most frequently seen?
The north central part of the state is the most heavily populated with timber rattlesnakes. This region of the state is the most remote and forested in Pennsylvania offering prime conditions for the timber rattlesnake's habitat. Roughly 49 of Pennsylvania's counties have timber rattlesnake populations.
If you count all of Pennsylvania's venomous species (including the copperhead and eastern massasauga rattlesnake), nearly all counties have some type of venomous snake. The southern half of the state carries the copperhead population. The eastern massasauga, a protected and endangered species, belongs to the pygmy rattlesnake family and is found only in a few western counties.
TMS: Have either of you been bitten by a snake? If so, share that experience.
I was bitten in 2004. I released a snake that I was measuring and believed it was crawling away. I took my attention off it for a second, reached to pick up my equipment and the snake struck. I blame myself for not continuing to watch the snake move fully away. The bite was minor so receiving anti-venom at the hospital with an overnight stay was sufficient.
I was bitten in 1998. It was negligence on my part because I took my eyes off the snake I was working with and received a bite on the inside of my leg in the upper calf. I walked 1.5 miles to the vehicle and my partner drove me to the hospital. I received 15 vials of anti-venom and spent 3 days in the hospital.
TMS: Lisa, Jim, in your opinion why does anyone typically get bitten if there are so many opportunities to NOT get bitten? How does it happen?
The vast majority of bites occur when an individual has an opportunity to back away and does not. Jim Chestney, from the PA Fish and Boat Commission, recently told us that the Fish and Boat Commission investigates bites and has difficulty finding one cause that is a pure accident such as a hiker unknowingly sitting down beside a snake.
Reported snake bites are usually investigated by a local Waterways Conservation Officer. It is a rare situation to find what we call a legitimate snake bite, meaning that it was purely and accident. Most people are bitten because they are interacting with the snake by handling it, trying to pick it up, or trying to kill it.
The typical snake bite victim is male between the ages of 25 and 35, is usually bitten on the hand, and alcohol is usually involved.
TMS: Bob, you recently gave presentations about rattlesnakes to Marcellus Shale organizations and drilling companies. Tell us in general what you told the audience.
We customize the presentation to the company's needs, audience and time constraints. However, in general, the presentation covers:
- Venomous species identification (venomous versus non venomous). We are able to bring both venomous and non venomous snakes to the presentation along with many photos so that personnel can see the snakes and the variations in color and size.
- Safety precautions: where you are most likely to find snakes, protective shoes and clothing, safe behavior
- Bites and what to do if bitten
- Preservation
TMS: There must be some man/snake encounters if companies have asked for some education on them. Based on what you know, how big of a problem is encountering venomous snakes for employees out in the field? Do you have any stories of incidents that have occurred?
Marcellus Shale testing is placing more and more employees in remote areas where snakes are typically found. As a result, field personnel are seeing them more often, which in turn, has drawn the concern of the companies and their safety personnel. One of the companies for which we did a presentation had an employee bitten during an encounter with a timber rattlesnake.
TMS: Tell us about the idea for creating a business to educate workers about venomous snakes. What made you realize such a need was out there?
I have been running my business, Olszak Management Consulting, for over twenty years and so am predisposed to look for new market opportunities. This idea, however, is as much about testing the opportunity to create a business around something that we are passionate about and can do together as it is about creating a hugely successful venture.
We love timber rattlesnakes and consider ourselves to be goodwill ambassadors that have an opportunity to promote safety along with education.

When Mr. Hardy disappears while investigating a mystery surrounding a vacant house rumored to be either haunted or an abode for criminals, the Hardy Boys search for the truth.
About the Author
Franklin W. Dixon was the pseudonym devised by Edward Stratemeyer for the author of a series of mystery books he was developing which became the Hardy Boys series. The first book, The Tower Treasure, originally published in 1927, was ghostwritten by Leslie MacFarlane who went on to write 19 more, including #2 through #16. In all, there are 58 titles in the original Hardy Boys Mysteries series published between 1927 and 1979 written by 17 different men and women. Many of the books were later revised, adding another four Hardy Boys Mystery Stories to the total.

A Laceful Weekend
A quiet & laceful weekend it was…i found myself spending quality time with my younger sister (Eye It Try It) to organize, plan, and get inspired for my wedding. I've always had a longstanding love affair with lace for as long as i can remember.
(via Fashion Gone Rogue, Popbee)
After taking a week off (due to my wisdom teeth extraction) its now back to business. Back to business with my positively overflowing inbox that slightly (just slightly) gives me a bit of a panic attack. But there is a certain anticipation of things to come, or perhaps the anticipation comes from the start of a new week and so many lovely things to look forward to in the days and weeks ahead.
It's a new day & new week to conquer your goals and to chase after what you love most!
Hope your week is off to a great start!

A Bloody Good Time 11.28.13: Ten Things Horror Fans Should Be Thankful For
Posted by
Joseph Lee
on 11.28.2013
The Walking Dead
and horror documentaries to
director James Wan, Stephen King and more, 411's Joseph Lee counts down the top 10 things that horror fans should be thankful for!

Soul Exodus
Welcome to A Bloody Good Time.
As a horror fan, we kind of have it rough at times. Hollywood all but ignores the genre, only settling on it when it's time for a remake or to bleed a franchise dry. Every time a movie like
Paranormal Activity
has crossover success, it becomes a series with diminishing returns. But this year, the first time ever, I'm doing a Thanksgiving edition. That makes the topic rather easy, as I'm going to count down ten things that I think we should be thankful for as horror fans.
Honorable Mention
: My readers. Okay, this is more of a thing
thankful for than a thing horror fans in general should be thankful for. This column started in 2007, not long after I got a gig reviewing movies on this website. It's now entering its seventh year and in September we hit 300 editions (only one of which I didn't do, as Steve Gustafsson subbed for me). There's just no way this would happen without my regular readers who come here week after week for one guy's opinions on the genre we all love. Trust me, I'm well aware of how this could have went. I've seen writers get torn apart when they rub the readers the wrong way. I'd like to think I've earned my spot here at 411 (now with more responsibilities!) and I have you guys to thank. I hope to do 300 more editions of ABGT, even if it means I'll be counting down the top ten beards in horror around #524. Okay, the winner is RJ MacReady. That thing is majestic.
: The internet
Well for me, this column also wouldn't exist without the Internet. Of course I never really applied for
Rue Morgue
so who knows? The Internet has allowed horror fans of every size, shape and personality to get together and talk about the genre they love. Fans can complain when something they like is changed. They can praise lesser-known movies and get the word out easier. In some cases fans can even help fund horror films through services like Kickstarter. The internet has changed the way horror fans can communicate not just with each other, but with those who make the movies.
It was thanks to my Internet that I was able to discover websites like Arrow in the Head, which turned me on to several horror movies the younger version of myself hadn't heard of. I didn't know about the world of Italian giallo or Dario Argento when I was a teenager and now
is one of my favorite films. The internet, for all of its flaws, has helped bring fans together. It's helped us celebrate a genre that mainstream society still turns its nose up at unless it can make somebody some money. Which leads me to...
: Horror conventions
Let's get back to horror fans for a minute. We are awesome. I've never met a fan of the genre I haven't had fun talking to and horror conventions are a way for me to meet many of them. I can't speak for the nerds that populate other fandoms but things I think horror fans tend to have a tighter camaraderie as a group.
Star Trek
Doctor Who
are culturally accepted. Not as many people openly love
Friday the 13th
. Conventions enable us to further meet each other.
Some conventions offer horror film festivals. Others offer merchandise. Nearly all of them offer celebrity guests. So this also allows fans to meet the people that helped scare us or help create our love for this crazy little world of ghouls and gore. My first convention of any kind was last year and I was able to meet Kane Hodder. Not only is he one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but during our photo op I asked for a choke and he did it (he actually choked me a little). Non-horror fans will never understand why being threatened by the guy who played Jason is such a thrill. Horror fans get it. I love conventions and have vowed to try and attend one every year.
: Stephen King
The man is sixty-six and still working. He puts out a novel a year. He probably could have retired a long time ago, certainly after he completed his magnum opus of
The Dark Tower
, but he's still working. There are some that say he should have retired and his work isn't as good as it used to be. I disagree, and say that as long as King wants to keep writing stories, horror or otherwise, I'll keep reading. The man loves horror just as much as we do and wants to keep finding ways to get under the skin of his readers.
Not only do I think that his work today is still very good (
is probably one of his best ever) but I think it still resonates. His work is still getting adapted by Hollywood and his books still sell a ton of copies. People still like King and still like being his Constant Readers. On top of that, he also produced Joe Hill, who is turning out to be quite a good horror author in his own right. Even when King does retire, he already has someone to carry on his legacy.
: James Wan
Sure, he's working on
Fast & Furious 7
now, but considering how much he loves horror (and you can tell through his movies), I don't see a future where he doesn't continue to come back to the genre. Whether you like them or not, Wan has been putting out an impressive body of work of well-crafted and at times scary movies. Not only that, they're incredibly successful with critics and audiences, meaning that it is possible for something that's not a remake to make money in Hollywood.
I think his movies speak for themselves.
was a massive hit and spawned a huge franchise (that may or may not be restarting soon). He then started another franchise with
and there is word that
The Conjuring
will get a couple of sequels as well. Sure, sequels aren't always a good thing, but if he comes back to direct them I'm sure I'll like it. I'm even considering seeing the new
Fast & Furious
and I have no interest in those movies.
The Walking Dead
This really isn't about whether or not you think the show is still good or not. I still enjoy it, but this is more about the fact that
The Walking Dead
is incredibly successful and is opening doors for another huge period of horror TV. Horror TV hasn't been big in a long time, probably since the 80s when many shows were on through syndication like
Tales from the Darkside
. Syndication really isn't a thing anymore, so we have to rely on the networks to gain interest again.
Before the
Walking Dead
, the only horror TV shows of note were
True Blood
The Vampire Diaries
. I only like one of those shows and it's not about vampires (not all the time, anyway). After
The Walking Dead
, we have all kinds of horror or horror-tinged shows to choose from:
American Horror Story
Sleepy Hollow
The Following
and probably others I'm forgetting. There are also more on the way including a new version of
Tales from the Darkside
and a series from Guillermo del Toro called
The Strain
. Horror TV is really big right now, and I think
The Walking Dead
's popularity is the reason why.
: Horror documentaries
Before the age of DVD and special features, how many horror documentaries can you think of? The only two that come to my mind are
Texas Chain Saw Massacre: A Family Portrait
Full Tilt Boogie
. Those are just documentaries about one single film, and usually made by someone involved in production. Now horror documentaries are kind of a big deal and we have fans getting cast and crews together for entire series retrospectives. Horror documentaries are a way for fans to get insight into all the details of their favorite films so it makes sense that they're popular.
Just earlier this year the people at 1428 Films put out
Crystal Lake Memories
, the documentary that runs for seven hours and covers the entire
Friday the 13th
series (you can read my review
). Along with that, we've also had
His Name Was Jason
Never Sleep Again
The Psycho Legacy
More Brains! A Return To The Living Dead
Birth Of The Living Dead
Room 237
(about Stanley Kubrick's
The Shining
) and more. A
documentary was just announced today.
: Netflix
There are a lot of people who to this day hate on Netflix and I can't understand why. In addition to several new shows being produced just for subscribers, Netflix has a treasure trove of horror films (or really, any genre of film) to choose from both new and old. For only eight dollars a month, you can watch new films like
Cabin in the Woods
or the
remake. You can also watch classics like
Pet Sematary
or the entire
franchise. If you want something less well-known, they have that too.
Keep in mind, all of these options are just in the horror genre. There are still plenty of TV shows and movies in other genres as well. My point is that the fact I can watch something like
Class of Nuke 'Em High
and then later
The Fly 2
in the same day just blows my mind. It excites me as a fan, as normally I'd have to go out and rent movies I want several times or just end up buying them. For a very low price I can stream great horror films (or even not so great ones) to my home whenever I want.
: Independent horror
Every year in my year-end countdown of the best horror films of the year, several independent releases make the list. Sometimes they'll even get #1, as it did in 2008 and 2011. The way my list is looking now, we'll probably get a few indie releases on this year's countdown as well (speaking of which, feel free to recommend some as I'm about to start binge watching). Some years non-Hollywood releases have made up half of my list. Independent horror is very helpful, especially in a year when Hollywood just doesn't deliver.
The reason we should be thankful for this is because there are still a lot of creative and forward-thinking horror filmmakers out there. You just have to know where to look. Even if you don't like something like a
, at least they're trying something different. If you want to know how to find more indie releases, Netflix is a good way to start. Video-on-Demand is another, especially since that's where Magnet releases their films before they hit DVD a few months later. I don't know about you, but when I see something new and different, or something that is at least attempting to entertain, I feel a little better after seeing trailers for movies like
Dark Skies
: Scream Factory
I don't see how you could not love Scream Factory. They're taking films that the big studios forgot they had, films that have been lost in the shuffle and stuck on VHS and films that horror fans love and throwing them onto fully remastered blu-rays, loaded with extra features. And unlike something like Twilight Time, they widely release the movies so fans can actually buy them. (Yes, I'm still bitter about not getting
Fright Night
on blu-ray.)
Is there a chance that Universal would have released
Halloween 2
on blu-ray? Yes, because they did. It just wasn't given nearly the amount of love that Scream Factory gave it. Is there a chance that anyone was going to release a new HD version of John Carpenter's
Body Bags
? I highly doubt it. This is also the studio providing us with the Cabal cut of
next year, so they can do no wrong in my eyes. They're taking movies that fans love and giving them the treatment that they deserve.
: Halloween
No, I'm not talking about the movie, although you should be thankful for that masterpiece too. I'm talking about the actual holiday. No matter how little access you have to things like Netflix or horror conventions, no matter little money you have for things like Scream Factory releases or the latest Stephen King novel, Halloween is still there for you. It's the one day where everyone seems to embrace the spirit of getting scared. Networks air specials, some channels air horror movie marathons and Hollywood sometimes puts out all of their big horror releases.
More than that, it's the one time of the year when everyone is celebrating horror to a certain degree and it's the time when we as fans can feel better about our love. We can dress up as our favorite cenobite without getting weird stares or being on a convention floor. We can hold marathons of the
Nightmare on Elm Street
series without even getting our DVDs out, because its right there on TV. It's a special time of year that is to us what Christmas is to everyone else. I'm always just a little bit sadder every time November 1st rolls around.
Ending Notes
That's it for me. Leave some comments here on or my

At the expiration of this time, I again enlisted for three months, I was dismissed by Captain Stokely but received no written discharge.

"Absolutely," Morway said. "Yeah, yeah. Larry is in our future plans. We are hopeful that this year Larry gets back to being the basketball player that he was two years ago."
Sanders had a long list of issues follow him last season, including a drug suspension served at the end of the season, as well as a thumb injury suffered during a bar fight. Sanders was limited to just 23 games, during which he averaged 7.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game before his season ended in February with a fractured eye socket.
Sanders is expected to open the season as the team's starting center.
Sanders will likely serve the entirety of the suspension over the team's final five games, leaving him cleared to begin next season without having to sit out. He was initially expected to serve the suspension at the start of next season, as the team had already ruled him out with a fractured orbital bone.
Sanders appeared in just 23 games for Milwaukee this season.
Bucks coach Larry Drew shed a little more light on the situation Tuesday, telling the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Sanders cannot even begin taking part in basketball-related activities for six weeks while he heals. The Bucks have just eight weeks until their season ends, which puts Sanders' chances of playing again very much in doubt.
Sanders has only played in 23 of Milwaukee's 52 games on the season, as he missed the first quarter of the season recovering from a torn ligament in his right thumb. He has averaged 7.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game on the year.
Sanders took an elbow to the face on Saturday, which caused him to miss his team's last two games before the All-Star break. The Bucks won't play again until Feb. 18 against Orlando. No word on a timetable for his return.
Ilyasova is missing his second straight game due to a back injury. Mayo is out for the eighth straight game with an illness. Sanders played just four minutes Saturday after taking an elbow to the face and will not return until after the All-Star break due to a fractured orbital bone.
Sanders was battling for a rebound with Rockets guard James Harden, who caught him with an inadvertent elbow. He went straight to the locker room and was ruled out at halftime after being diagnosed with blurred vision.
Sanders' status moving forward is not yet known. The Bucks are off Sunday, and then play twice before the All-Star break.
The team doesn't feel it can get a fair return for Sanders at this moment, but with the trade deadline two weeks away, they have time to consider offers if they change their mind. Sanders has averaged 8.0 points and 7.3 rebounds over 22 games played.
Sanders took advantage of a porous defensive frontline on his way to a season-high in two categories. He scored 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting and added 15 rebounds as well, both of which are his best marks in 22 games. He added two assists, one block and one steal as well in 34 minutes, in the 110-100 loss.
Sanders' numbers are down slightly from his breakout campaign a year ago, as he is averaging 8.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
Sanders misses two of the team's last four games due to illness but was back on the court Wednesday and just missed a double-double, recording nine rebounds and two blocks in the loss. He has averaged 6.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 18 games played.
Sanders and Mayo have missed two of the team's last four games while dealing with illnesses. Sanders has averaged 6.4 points and 6.4 rebounds over 17 games, while Mayo has averaged 12.2 points and 2.6 rebounds over 41 games.
According to 1250 WSSP, the Bucks will send out the same starting five for their Friday matchup with Cleveland. Henson scored 12 points, grabbed three rebounds and blocked three shots in the win over the Pistons.
Caron Butler missed Sunday's game with an illness as well, and it's possible that Sanders and Mayo are dealing with the same thing. Sanders has averaged 6.7 points and 6.7 rebounds over 15 games. Mayo has averaged 12.6 points and 2.7 rebounds over 39 games played.
Sanders missed his only shot in the scoreless performance while grabbing four rebounds and one block. He fouled out of his previous game after scoring just one point in 23 minutes of action. Sanders has averaged 5.7 points and 6.2 rebounds over 11 games played.
Sanders appeared in just three games this season prior to suffering the injury. He averaged 2.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in those games.
Sanders was averaging just 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in the season's first three games, and was already starting to complain about playing time. The 6-22 Bucks surely need Sanders back in the middle of the defense, as they ranked just 20th in points allowed per possession this season.
Sanders appeared in three games early in the season before going down with injury, but only averaged 2.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks while logging 17 minutes per game.
Sanders suffered a torn ligament during an incident at a night club Nov. 3. The Journal Sentinel reports that a six-week recovery timeline would cause Sanders to miss between 20 and 25 games.
Sanders' status for Saturday's game against the Mavericks is not yet known, but he appears to have dodged major trouble stemming from an incident at a night club last week. Police have been unable to determine how a fight allegedly including Sanders started, and will not press criminal charges. He should be able to return as soon as his Thumb allows.
"He has to be able to catch a ball, hold a ball, grip a ball before he's cleared," Drew said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow. If he's able to play we'll have him out there."
Sanders was involved in an altercation at a bar on Sunday and ended up injuring his thumb. He did not play in Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to the issue.
Sanders is averaging 2.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game over 17.3 minutes in his first three contests. He is questionable to play in Saturday's game against Dallas.
Sanders was injured in an off-court incident. He was reportedly involved in a bar fight on Saturday. Coach Larry Drew said the situation will be investigated.
Sanders is averaging 2.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game over 17.3 minutes in his first three contests.
"I feel like I'm capable of being in the game at the end and helping my team win, coming up with blocks and rebounds," Sanders told NBA.com after playing just 22 minutes in a loss to the Raptors Saturday. "I haven't been able to get my rhythm out there. I understand foul trouble situations, but tonight I wasn't in foul trouble."
Coach Larry Drew has instead been giving the bulk of the playing time at center to Zaza Pachulia, who he knows from their time together in Atlanta. Through the first three games, Sanders is averaing just 17.3 minutes per game, compared to 26.0 for Pachulia off the bench.

Unlock Your iPhone 5C
The iPhone 5c is an economy version of the iPhone 5s, but it still beat out the iPhone 5 for function and capability. Congratulations on your purchase.
You may have thought about getting the unlocked iPhone 5c, and if you did—excellent choice! If not, then read on. You can definitely benefit from this!
Common Uses and Benefits
Your iPhone 5c is able to use your chosen carrier's network. Tons of apps from iTunes or Apple-endorsed sites are available to you. Apple and the big carriers also protect your iPhone 5c from viruses and hackers.
This is enough to make most of us pretty happy, but what happens when you travel, or when that hot game or app catches your eye, but Apple does not allow it to be installed on your phone?
Options for an iPhone 5c Owner
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act protected big companies like Apple and others in the past. It was great news for the consumer when it was not renewed, because you can now unlock your iPhone 5c and not worry about legal repercussions.
Search online and you will find that Apple, AT&T, and other carriers now offer step-by-step instructions about to how you can unlock your phone.
Doing it their way still has a downside to it: you have to have been a customer in good standing, have paid for the phone in full, and not be in a contract.
Benefits of an Unlocked iPhone 5c
For starters, unlocking your iPhone 5c will grant you access to apps and games that previously were out of your reach.
But the greatest benefit for many iPhone 5c owners will be for their wallets—you can switch carriers and get better deals.
By locking their phones and offering deals through specific carriers, Apple entices the consumer into a long-term agreement by which the carrier can charge elevated talk, text, and web rates. You think you are getting a great buy when you get a low cost for your phone while getting the contract, but you end up paying more in the long run.
What's Bad About Unlocked Phones?
Not everything is better when you decide to unlock iPhone 5c. The lock on your iPhone 5c is like the deadbolt at home; your privacy and your belongings are safe as long as you have the security mechanism. Once you unlock your phone, it leaves your device vulnerable to cyber-criminals and all sorts of viruses. If you find yourself concerned, you can always get mobile device anti-virus or anti-invasion apps to protect yourself.
Wonders of an Unlocked iPhone 5c
OK, so you really want to unlock your iPhone 5c. People have successfully unlocked their phones for a long time now with few regrets. Along with the benefits of switching carriers or using a different carrier for travel reasons (to avoid those horrendous roaming charges) and the fun of accessing games and apps not normally available, you can also change some properties on your iPhone 5c iOS. With these removed restrictions, the Apple iPhone 5c will do amazing tricks in your hands.

SATELLITE BEACH -- For 23 years, David Rich has been doing what he loves the most -- running his restaurant, Pappagallos.
A fixture along the Space Coast since 1990, Pappagallos serves up delicious and classic Italian fare.
"I grew up in the restaurant business," Mr. Rich said. "My parents owned a restaurant here in the 1980s, and when they retired, I stayed in it."
With the first Pappagallos location by the Eau Gallie Causeway, Mr. Rich has moved his restaurant around central Brevard County. The current location on A1A in Satellite Beach has been home to Pappagallos since 2006.
Mr. Rich's wife, Tricia, has worn many hats within the company, working on marketing and promotional campaigns to waiting tables.
She is as much a fan of the restaurant's menu as her husband.
"I love the Chicken Pastagallo," Mrs. Rich said. "I'm the whole reason it's on the menu."
Chicken and penne pasta are topped with a homemade Alfredo sauce, with rosemary and bacon. The dish is baked to perfection with a thin layer of breadcrumbs on top.
"It has a great woodsy, smoky taste," Mrs. Rich added.
Mr. Rich said he loves anything with bread.
"I love bread, but if I absolutely had to choose my favorite thing to eat here, it would be a garlic pizza, with olive oil, fresh garlic, parmesan cheese and Italian sausage," Mr. Rich said.
Pappagallos is known for its wide range of Italian cuisine, especially classic dishes like baked ziti, calzones and eggplant parmesan.
"I've never been much of an eggplant eater," Mrs. Rich said. "One day, Dave made me some eggplant and I loved it. Some people tell us they come in here just for our eggplant."
Pappagallos is also known for the fresh ingredients they use.
"We make things to order, and even though you may have to wait a little longer, you get exactly what you want, and it's fresh," Mr. Rich said. "We make our own sauces, breads, soups, basically everything is made here, including the desserts."
In these times of economic uncertainty, Pappagallos offers its patrons fair price for its excellent food.
"Sometimes I look at tickets with 10 people on it and they didn't even spend $100," Mrs. Rich added. "We also have a $6 lunch menu and a $9 early bird dinner menu."
With its prime location right on the beach, Pappagallos plans to take advantage of the views.
"Our goal, this year, is to fix up the back patio for dining," Mrs. Rich said. "We are currently in the process of making the patio a better location for guests to eat and enjoy the views of the ocean."
Have a special event coming up? Pappagallos proudly offers catering!
"We've done a lot of things for schools and weddings around here," Mr. Rich said. "It's a lot of fun to say you've done things for hundreds of people because it's a challenge; we also customize a menu for events beyond Italian food, like shrimp, prime rib and more."
Although Pappagallos is a "Mom and Pop" restaurant, when the staff receives enough notice, they are happy to make a customized menu for its customers.
One of the most recognizable restaurants along the beach, Pappagallos is happy to have provided so many people with wonderful food within the past 23 years.
"It sounds corny, but I love how I've become part of the scenery and the town," Mr. Rich said. "Kids come back and say how much they've missed this place. It may sound very 'Norman Rockwell,' but I like it."
"Everyone knows each other and life keeps in a good balance," Mrs. Rich said. "We love to give back to the community that supports us. When you come here, it stays here."
Pappagallos is located at 1769 Highway A1A, Satellite Beach.
Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
For more information, call (321) 773-7272 or visit www.pappagallos.com.

Welcome! This blog is 75% Attack on Titan and 25% Legend of Korra/ATLA, with an occasional taste of other fandoms & personal posts. I tag all my ships (mainly #eruri and #korrasami) for your filtering pleasure. I also write and doodle things.Currently updating fic: He Chose Titans (Erwin/Levi)
A little while ago, I wrote that a friend of mine who was in a cult for a few years is finally breaking free. It was a joyous occasion. :) She's an extremely brilliant gal who was heavily involved with the organization (a hardworking superstar like her, how could she not climb the ranks and get noticed?), which is one reason why it was such a shock that she got involved with it in the first place. When I thought of cults, I always thought of them as places for mindless drones…but often it's people who are brilliant and have low self esteem. I was so happy that she was finally stepping outside its walls and seeing that she deserves better. She gave years of her life to that organization, working 16 hours a day, living in commune-like conditions.
But readjusting to life outside is hard…
Yesterday, she posted a photo on Facebook of a letter one of her old cult-sisters wrote to her. It's horrific.
This person took the time to send her a list of 100 things meant to cut her down, on five pages. Included on the list were things like:
…it goes ON and ON and ON and it's just so heartbreaking to see it all there, this list of negativity and vitriol that someone has taken so much time to craft, just to hurt a former friend. My heart is broken for her. This is the lowest, most malicious thing I have ever seen one supposed adult "friend" send to another. Especially when they were living as a "family" for years.
First of all, I'm going to write the exactly opposite of each of those words, and send it to her, because she is amazing, and she needs to hear that.
And second of all, it got me thinking. I remember being hurt like this before, and seeing other people get hurt, too. It's a reminder of how devastating bullying can be, at any point of life.
If any of you are being bullied, and you need a place to rant about it, my inbox is always open. I want to help. <3
And if any of your friends are going through something like this, please take the time to let them know what an amazing person they are. Words can hurt, but the pain can be lessened with love and support.
Reblogging from my fandom blog, because I mean this here, too, with 100% sincerity. If any of you are feeling down or...

Are you feeling frustrated by the lack of action in Washington on the biggest problems facing the nation, such as economic inequality and climate change? Are you tired of watching a moderate Democratic president stuck in stalemate with Republicans in Congress?
Gov. Jerry Brown faced protests at the state Democratic Party convention Saturday from crowds of progressives opposed to fracking, even as he attempted to make the case that California has led the country on climate change and renewable energy issues.
"The challenge facing California is not just drought today; it's climate change, now and forever," said Brown, as dozens of party activists holding "Another Democrat Against Fracking" signs rushed to the front of the hall and stood in their seats at the Los Angeles Convention Center, yelling their opposition to the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to expand natural gas production.
Washington is pushing the panic button, claiming austerity is hollowing out our armed forces and our national security is at risk. That was the message Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel delivered last week when he announced that the Army would shrink to levels not seen since before World War II. Headlines about this crisis followed in papers like the New York Timesand members of Congress issued statements swearing that they would never allow our security to be held hostage to the budget-cutting process.
The U.S. is backing Ukraine's extreme right-wing Svoboda party and violent neo-Nazis whose armed uprising paved the way for a Western-backed coup. Events in the Ukraine are giving us another glimpse through the looking-glass of U.S. propaganda wars against fascism, drugs and terrorism. The ugly reality behind the mirror is that the U.S. government has a long and unbroken record of working with fascists, dictators, druglords and state sponsors of terrorism in every region of the world in its elusive but relentless quest for unchallenged global power.
Just the other day I hopped on a plane to Egypt, eager to join the international delegation of 100 women headed to Gaza for International Women's Day. Little did I know I would be stopped at the Cairo airport, detained, held overnight in a cell, then in the morning brutally assaulted by Egyptian authorities.
Bernie Sanders says he is "prepared to run for president of the United States." That's not a formal announcement. A lot can change between now and 2016, and the populist senator from Vermont bristles at the whole notion of a permanent campaign.
WASHINGTON – The number of people who have lost their unemployment benefits as a result of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program's expiration has surpassed two million this week, according to a new analysis from Ways and Means Committee Democrats.
Rex Tillerson is mad. In fact, Fracking Mad.
This 61-year old farmer from Bartonville, Texas is another victim of Big Oil's fracking boom that has invaded people's homes and lives from upstate New York to Southern California.
On route to a women's conference in Gaza, Code Pink founder and peace activist Medea Benjamin was detained by Egyptian police and held in an airport prison cell for several hours without being charged. During her detention, the petite Benjamin said she was "jumped on" by Egyptian police and "violently handcuffed" resulting in a fractured my arm, dislocated my shoulder, torn ligaments.

Environment Canada issued rainfall warnings for parts of the Maritimes on Tuesdy as a low pressure system moved into the region.
"Most places will see a general 15-30 mm of rain by the time all is said and done with locally higher amounts for parts of eastern Nova Scotia," says Gina Ressler, a meteorologist at The Weather Network.
The rain will ease across the Maritimes on Wednesday as the system pushes into Newfoundland. Some areas could see between 20-40 mm of rain through Thursday.
For many people this wet weather is a welcomed change.
This summer has been extremely dry across Atlantic Canada, prompting places like Charlottetown, PEI to reduce water usage.
"And in Halifax, only about 10 mm of rain has fallen so far this July and the average monthly total is usually around 100 mm," says Ressler. "Several places across Atlantic Canada really need a good soaking."

Jan 18, 2010 - Europoles Middle East officially opens its first concrete mast works in the Sultanate of Oman
Her Excellency Dr Rajiha bint Abdulamir bin Ali, Minister of Tourism, opened the new plant in the Nizwa commercial district
On the 39th National Day of the Sultanate of Oman, the first production works for spun concrete masts in the country was opened by Her Excellency Dr, Rajiha bint Abdulamir bin Ali, Minister of Tourism, in the presence of His Excellency Maqbool Ali Sultan, Minister of Economics and Industry, Her Excellency Ms. Angelika Renate Storz-Chakarji and other top-ranking representatives of the worlds of industry and politics.
The new plant represents an investment of around nine million euros, and has been set up as a Joint Venture between Europoles and RAY International L.L.C., one of the most important engineering offices in Oman, specializing in oil, gas and energy. With a total production capacity of 40,000 masts, Europoles Middle East should be able to replace the wooden masts currently used in Oman in short order.
In the past, Europoles supplied masts to Oman from Germany. Now the new production plant will be able to provide locally made masts for power cables - a reliable and economic solution, dispensing with the need for expensive foreign imports. There are further plans for exporting the products to other countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
In order to maintain the high quality standards of the Europoles Group, key representatives of the workforce were trained in Germany. As a result of government policy, Europoles Middle East is subject to the constraints of the 'Omanization' of the job market. The high training investment was justified by the need to provide a young and well qualified team of Omanis for leading positions in the plant - as foremen, shift coordinators and logistics managers.
Fritz Fückert, Managing Director of Europoles, gave an address emphasizing the company's adherence to the fundamental principles of German and Omani policy, and highlighting the partnership between the two countries. He sees the training of employees in Germany and the support of German training staff at the Oman plant as a key factor for the successful realization of the project.
The requirement that 45% of the workforce come from Oman has already been met. The plant has been audited and certified by the German standards authority TÜV Rheinland (LGA Intercert) as meeting DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 standards, and it has also been audited and approved by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).
But the plant is not only under an obligation of training and employing Omani workers - it is also committed to the use of local raw materials. The main resources for the plant - sand, aggregate and cement - come from the region, some of them in fact from Nizwa itself.
Ray International L.L.C.
The partnership between Ray International and Europoles Middle East has been the basis for the realization of turnkey solutions for overhead cable masts. The portfolio includes training and consulting, products, services, drilling, and the development, installation, and testing of overhead cable structures.
Europoles is the European market leader for the production of masts, support columns and towers made of spun concrete, steel and FRP for many different areas of use. The company has production sites in Germany, Poland, Switzerland and Oman. With a comprehensive range of products and services, extending from 3-metre lighting masts to advertising, overhead cable and floodlight masts between 20 and 50 meter and even to 100-metre-high telecommunication towers, Europoles achieved an annual turnover of 125 million euros in Germany and the surrounding regions in 2010 with a workforce of around 900 employees. Europoles is a company belonging to VTC Industrieholding GmbH, a diversified, small to medium-sized industrial group based in Munich.

The list of candidates for Chattanooga police chief has been narrowed to fewer than 20, and Mayor Andy Berke's blue-ribbon panel is interviewing some of them in person this week.
Originally, 77 law enforcement officers from 25 states applied to succeed former Chief Bobby Dodd, who retired Dec. 31. For the last two weeks the search firm hired by the city for nearly $40,000, Police Executive Research Forum, has been evaluating the applications.
The mayor's office declined to release the exact number of candidates or their names Thursday, citing a confidentiality policy with the search firm.
Lacie Stone, Berke's spokeswoman, said most of the candidates have been interviewed. The panel will recommend the finalists' names to Berke.
He is expected to make his decision -- what experts have called one of the most important decisions he'll make as mayor -- by May.
In January, the City Council gave Berke the go-ahead to hire the search firm, which interviewed city officials, police and pastors to create a profile for the chief position.
Qualifications include a bachelor's degree. The new chief must be familiar with violence reduction programs. Experience implementing such a program, which is similar to the one Chattanooga has rolled out, is preferred.
Within the initial pool of candidates, three are women. Four work at the Chattanooga Police Department and one is interim Chief Stan Maffett, who has been with the department since 1974.
Roger Dickson, a Chattanooga attorney who is one of the three blue-ribbon panel members, said Thursday he was interviewing candidates this week, but he said he had been told not to give any details.
The panel, which also includes Hamilton County District Attorney General Bill Cox and Donna Roddy, on-site health educator for BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, will interview all of the candidates either in person or by phone before recommending the finalists to Berke.
Once Berke decides, he will ask the City Council to approve his recommendation.
City officials said Thursday they were surprised to learn the candidates' list already had been whittled down. But several councilmen said they are happy the search is coming along.
"I'm anxious to hear any progress report they're ready to give and anxious to get to the point where we get a candidate before us," said Councilman Moses Freeman.

Fran and Barry arrive at the fortress. Welcome, you are team number four. And apparently, there is no penalty for careless driving or destruction of property.
BJ and Tyler come to the pit stop with BJ on Tyler's back. They're the fifth team to arrive. However. Penalty for getting off at the wrong station. So they'll be waiting out a fifteen-minute penalty. Of course, at this point, it's all over, because Lake and Michelle are the only team left, and they'd be subject to the same penalty, so all this business about whether Lake and Michelle will get there before the fifteen minutes are up is bogus suspense, to say the least.
But here are Lake and Michelle, approaching. Will they make it? Well, they do not make it, and Phil checks in BJ and Tyler as team number five. BJ grabs Phil and gives him an uninvited smooch on the face. "That's just one of you, I hope," Phil says. So of course, Tyler does the same.
Here, at last, come Lake and Michelle. Welcome, Lake and Michelle, you are the last team to arrive. And you are eliminated. She cries, and he hugs her, and he tells Phil that Michelle "did great." In an interview, he insists that they've "gotten along great most of the time." She blubbers that she's sad: "I couldn't do anything to help us." That's a very weird construction there. She interviews that she understands many people will look at their relationship as "completely whacked." Or "wacked." I don't know how the kids use that particular term. She says, though, that their relationship works for them, and for most of the race, I'd have gone along with her. This leg, though… "Shut up, bitch" and such is really not okay, to me, so I would hope maybe he'll look at that on TV and think perhaps he doesn't want to be that guy. I think he has a better guy than that in him.
Executive Producer? Jerry Bruckheimer.
Next week: Yolanda tells Ray not to talk to her like that. BJ collapses from the heat, but as you know, it's probably just a bit he's doing.

The Need for Progressive Realism
Yes, Obama was moderate, and still the lofty sounding rhetoric made us feel that change really was possible. Hope was in the air. With time, we didn't so much argue about the policies of his administration, many of which seemed fair and forward-looking. Rather, we took issue with the unwillingness to fight, the folding of the hand before the cards were played, the untoward interest in compromise with those who sought his political demise, and the combination of heady discourse with reliance on advisers peddling conventional economic wisdom geared toward the rich.
Often, one side argued that the pressures and powers must be so rough—particularly the pressure to compromise with the demands of corporate capitalism and other entrenched interests—that the best one can do is what Obama was doing: articulate and appeal to the ideals that make us feel good about our moral selves yet minimize the deep structural economic divisions that shape American politics and American society. The other side took the position that the hesitancy, the frequent unwillingness to fight, was mostly a result of Obama's temperament and character, and probably also life experiences, rather than the pervasive power and influence of private interests. In other words, our discussions often turn on the question of whether Obama would do more if he could, or whether Obama's eagerness to compromise leads him away from a coherent analysis of the realities of American society, and thus blinds him to what could and really needs to be done.
In his article for Tikkun and at more length in his book The Obama Question, Gary Dorrien characterizes Obama as a "communitarian, mostly of a progressive-leaning type"—that is, one who sees American domestic life from a worldview focused on the common good and thus seeks commonalities, compromise, measured deliberation on common goals, and shared solutions in spite of real differences, even in a polarized political and economic climate. Here, Dorrien brings an important new explanatory element into this ongoing argument.
