This article describes what phishing is, how to determine phishing schemes and you can learn best practices to avoid becoming a victim of online fraud.
What to do if you are a victim of fraud
Phishing (pronounced: fishing) is an online-fraud technique that is used by criminals to lure you into disclosing your personal information, which then enables the thief to:
It's likely that fraud is being tried when you are asked to:
Tip Use credit cards when making purchases online.
More information about phishing-scheme characteristics
Unfortunately, as phishing attacks become more sophisticated, it is very difficult for the average person to tell whether an email message or website is fraudulent. That is why phishing schemes are so prevalent and successful for criminals. For example, many fake email messages and websites link to real company logos of well-known brands. Therefore, they look legitimate. The following are several things that you can do to help protect yourself:
Note Some of these strategies pertain to using Microsoft Outlook. If you are using Microsoft Office Starter 2010 you must upgrade to another Office product to use Outlook. For more information, see Upgrade to another Microsoft Office product

Forget Magnums ... Eli Roth's strapping up with extra small rubbers these days ... thanks to a nasty bite from an OCTOPUS in Hawaii.
Eli tells TMZ, he recently overcame his fear of the ocean while on vacation in the Aloha State -- following a terrifying sea urchin attack in 2010 -- and decided to test the waters with a sea scooter expedition.
But curiosity got the best of him when he reached out to touch a baby octopus ... and the 8-legged bastard bit him on the pinky.
Eli -- the man behind the new Netflix series "Hemlock Grove" -- says his finger bled profusely for hours after the bite, and now he's gotta keep the wound covered with little pinky condoms until it heals.
And the best part, if he ever runs out ... he can always ask Justin Bieber for spares.
Ocean to Eli: we've warned you twice now. There won't be a next time.
Hemlock Grove is terrible. Epically terrible.
I'm sure this racist jew really wears uber-small condoms on his little penis too. What a loser this idiot is. Even octi hates him.
Borrow from Bieber or Rob Kardashain(AKA Chaz Bono)..didn't he bitch on TV about the size of his? I can see it now ! The vile mother will now try and get condom sponsors for small weenies.
So glad all the dumbazz racists are out today...Not
That was too funny!
Just want to mention...sea urchins don't 'attack' people...people step on them and get hurt.
O.M.G. Did you just say that?
Wait 'til the Beliebers get wind of this. Dissin' his penis size! They'll set you straight because ... well ... I dunno how they'll set you straight, ain't nobody but Selena seen it (and I hear she had to use a magnifying glass).
Is this dude gay??
Sea urchin attack? He stepped on one. If a sea urchin was attacking you from a foot away you'd have to wait about an hour for it to get to you. Bout' the same as a snail attack.
I rather have the octopus bite any day. I stepped on a sea urchin nearly half a mile off shore and every step back was excruciating. Every steps digs those little barbs in farther and farther.
Stupid. I live in Hawaii and sea urchins don't attack you, stupid tourists step on them..the octopus had it right.
Actually skinny guys like Justin usually have big...
Here is a much more proper way to handle an octopus for those of you wanting to avoid a situation like this.
My stepson did this.

Ortofon e-Q5
" This "moving armature" descendant of the Ortofon e-Q7 makes no sacrifices in terms of quality, despite being introduced at a more affordable price point. The introduction of a new cord and strain relief system help tame microphonics and make the model easy to wear both down and over the ear. The all-aluminum housing is large and may not fit all ears, but the design is simple and..." --Dekimasu
Ortofon e-Q7 Ear Canal Headphone
" Prior to purchasing these, my primary concern is to have a proper alternative for my ESW9 which have better isolation to be used for listening to my ballad tunes on the road.

|Bowers arrested on gun charges
|by TigerNet Staff - Monday, February 18, 2013 5:36 PM
According to NBC New York, former Clemson All-American defensive end Da'Quan Bowers was arrested at New York's LaGuardia Airport Monday morning after it was discovered he was carrying a loaded .40 caliber handgun in his carry-on bag.
According to the NFL Network, a spokeswoman for the Queen's District Attorney's Office said that Bowers has been charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon of the 2nd degree and has a court appointment scheduled for Monday night. The spokeswoman also said Bowers did not try to go through security. Instead when he got to the check-in counter, he told the airline that he had a gun in his carry-on bag.
A second degree criminal possession of a firearm is a class C felony in New York which is the same charge received by Plaxico Burress when he accidentally shot himself a few years ago. From the Tampa Bay site The Pewter Plank:
Second degree criminal possession of a firearm is a class C felony in New York. For reference, this is the exact same charge that Plaxico Burress faced following his accidental self-injury with a firearm several years ago. Burress spent two years in prison after pleading guilty to the charges, and receiving a plea bargain. This is a very serious, very difficult situation for Bowers, as the state of New York is very tight about gun laws. The fact that it took place in an airport compounds matters, and the case will surely find its way to a grand jury, much like Burress' case did.
Bowers is the most decorated player in Clemson history. In 2010, he won the Nagurski Award as the top defensive player in college football as selected by the Football Writers Association, and the Ted Hendricks Award as the top defensive end in college football. He was also a finalist for the Lombardi Award and the Bednarik Award. He is the first player in Clemson history to win either of those national awards and was just the second Clemson player to be a finalist for the Lombardi Award. Bowers was also a unanimous All-American and was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. He is just the fourth unanimous first-team All-American in Clemson history.
Bowers has played defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the last two years.

3 shoot at residents sitting outside 7th Ward home, police say
Updated On: Aug 01 2013 02:04:56 PM CDT
New Orleans police said several men shot at people who were sitting outside their home in the 7th Ward.
The incident happened about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday in the 2300 block of North Broad Street.
Police said three African-American males approached the residents who were sitting outside their home. The trio was asked to leave, police said, but then two of the men brandished handguns and shot at the residents as they ran into their home.
After the shooting, police said, the victims saw several bullet holes in the apartment and shell casings outside the door. The trio fled the scene, according to police.
The three were described by the New Orleans Police Department as African-American males. The first person was 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed 140 pounds, was clean shaven, had short hair and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a white towel over his head. The second person was described as standing 6 feet 1 inch tall, 170 pounds, with a beard with no mustache, long braided hair and was last seen wearing a black shirt, black pants and a black hat. He also had a white towel, police said. The third man was described as standing 6 feet 1 inch tall, 180 pounds, clean shaven, short braided hair and was last seen wearing a black shirt and black pants.

After today's 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals John Mozeliak announced the tam has placed Michael Wacha and Jaime Garcia on the disabled list. Both starters are suffering with a shoulder ailment. This is according to a report by Joe Trezza of The St. Louis Post Dispatch.
For Wacha, he is experiencing what Mozeliak termed as a "stress reaction" in his scapula. Trezza's report also states that the Cardinals have not had experience with this particular injury, but as of now, no surgery will be necessary.
Wacha will miss a few weeks before he is to be re-evaluated.
And for Garcia, he has apparently reaggravated his surgically repaired shoulder. Garcia's latest bullpen session did not go well, and it was further noted that this issue has bothered Garcia over his last pair of starts.
Carlos Martinez is officially a member of the Cardinals starting rotation to go along with Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, and Shelby Miller. And it might be for an extended period of time. Even with the Martinez "addition", one spot in the rotation remains open. The Cards will not have another off-day until June 30, leaving the team with having to fill one game over the next week.
Wacha owns a 5-5 record with 2.79 ERA, 2.99 FIP, and 1.118 WHIP in his 15 starts.
Garcia's record is 3-1 with a 4.12 ERA, 3.77 FIP, and 1.053 WHIP in only four starts.

Workers with a 20 year latency period did not exhibit a significantly elevated SMR for leukemia whether they had less than one year of exposure (SMR = 1.3, CI 0.2-4.6) or more than one year of exposure (SMR = 0.8, CI 0.1-2.8).
Studies have been undertaken at several facilities that produced 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. Zober and colleagues (1990) examined German workers exposed to TCDD in a chemical accident in 1953. A single death due to leukemia was reported among the three subcohorts studied, with 0.2 expected. A Dow study (Bond et al., 1988) of 878 workers who manufactured 2,4-D between 1945 and 1983, identified two cases of leukemia/aleukemia with at least 15 years latency (SMR = 3.6, CI 0.4-13.0).
Lynge (1985) examined 3,390 male and 1,069 female Danish workers who were employed in the manufacture of phenoxy herbicides. The main herbicide produced was not 2,4,5-T, although some 2,4,5-T production did exist. Nonsignificantly elevated relative risks of 2.1 were found for all female employees with no latency (two cases) and 4.0 for females involved in the manufacturing or packaging of phenoxy herbicides. Results for 10 year latency in this latter comparison were the same, based on one observed case. For male workers, the RR values were 1.1 with no latency (5 cases) and 1.4 for men involved in the manufacturing or packaging of phenoxy herbicides. Results for 10 year latency in this latter comparison were the same, based on one case. Bueno de Mesquita and colleagues (1993) examined a cohort of workers exposed to phenoxy herbicides and observed a nonsignificant elevation of leukemia in two factories, with an SMR = 2.2 (CI 0.3-7.9) in the exposed group.
The IARC study, which included the Lynge and Bueno de Mesquita studies, found no significant elevation of the SMR for leukemia in any of four exposure categories assigned based on questionnaires and job classifications (Saracci et al., 1991). The period studied was 10-19 years after the first exposure in the cohort. The four groups and their associated SMRs for leukemia were exposed, 1.2 (CI 0.7-1.9, N = 18); probably exposed, no cases; unknown exposure, no cases; and among those not exposed, the SMR = 0.9 (CI 0.2-2.6, N = 3).
Another of the cohorts contributing to the larger cohort of Saracci consisted of 5,784 chemical workers in the United Kingdom involved in the production of MCPA (Coggon et al., 1986). Fourteen deaths from leukemia were observed (SMR = 1.8, CI 1.0-3.0). A suggestion of a dose-response relationship to phenoxy herbicides was reported for three exposed groups: background exposure (SMR = 1.8, N = 5), low potential exposure (SMR = 1.3, N = 3), and high exposure (SMR = 2.1, N = 6). No relationship was identified with duration of exposure for three categories: < 1 month (SMR = 5.9, N = 3), 1-6 months (SMR = 1.1, N = 2), and > 6 months (SMR = 1.4, N = 4). Risk was not elevated with increasing latency period to 10 years from

Re:Am I the only one that finds this creepy? (163 comments)
It's not a silly idea, in the right context. Companies running drug trials will be all over this. Noncompliance is a huge problem and, worse, it's currently a nearly unmeasureable problem.
In the right context, everything is silly. What was your second point?
Re:Am I the only one that finds this creepy? (163 comments)
"About half of all people don't take medications like they're supposed to," says Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute in La Jolla,California. "This device could be a solution to that problem, so that doctors can know when to rev up a patient's medication adherence."
You know, I kind of like the idea of deciding for myself what medication I take and when. The idea of my doctor trying to make me ingest a sensor like I'm some sort of medical prisoner is more than a little creepy to me. What's next, is he going to give me forced ball-shock treatments if I refuse to eat healthy?
Trust your doctor or don't. I pay mine because I value his knowledge. The dosage he recommends is what I take. (It's not uncommon for that recommendation to be 'as needed') I think this is a silly idea...and based more on preventing the sharing/selling of medication, but I don't think there's anything creepy medically about it.

Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $1,000,000.00 (one million United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 10% for us, 85% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers â"for confidentiality and easy communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.
Best regards
Mr. Babies

DVC advise
Hi All
Recently we returnd from a trip to Walt Disney World. I have been many times growing up and this was my partners first trip. We loved it, such a great feeling being there. Felt very accepted as well. My question is, if any of you are DVC owners, what made you decide. I hate making big decissions, could use some advice.

We decided DVC was for us because we like to travel to WDW and stay in nice accomodations at least once a year. We have been members since 1996 (wow! time really does fly!) We started with 210 points (the minimum at the time) and added on MANY times. We now have an even 1000 points. We now travel to the World 3 or 4 times a year, we take friends and family, we have gone for long weekends and 12 night trips and everything in between, we stay in all sizes of accomodations... The best money we ever spent. Probably more information than you wanted, but I hope I helped with your information gathering. Let me know if you have any other questions about the DVC experience.

We became DVC owners at VWL (Villas at the Wilderness Lodge) just about 1 year ago. My only regret is that we didn't buy when I first looked at DVC back in 1994.
Now, 12 months later we have added on points at VWL and have added on at BWV (Boardwalk Villas).
My advice to you is to buy where you want to stay, and also consider purchasing resale as an option.
Disney is pushing SSR (Saratoga Springs) right now, but be aware that if you press, you can buy at any of the resorts, even if they "sold out", because Disney does have a cache of points to sell.
If you have any other questions. Please ask away!

I bought after staying at Pop Century last month and decided I would NEVER stay at a value again. I usually go 1,2 , and sometimes 3 times a year I go solo, with family , and friends. With Friends we usually go for gay days . Anyways I LOVE boardwalk and just purchased there . I added up all the money I already spent and how much I could spend in the next 3 years and figured I * Had * to Buy this year. I too wish I bought sooner, I remember YEARSSSSS ago A friend and I were walking through the boardwalk area before they were even open dreaming of the day . okay enough about me
p.s. now that I have points to spend I'll have to rethink staying
at POP

My 1st response to your question would be to hang out on the DVC forum for a while. You'll find more information there then you could imagine would be available, and plenty of helpfully people willing to answer almost all of your questions - and w/ the right answers.
I bought into DVC basically cuz I'm a Disney-addict. I enjoy going to Disney as often as possible. I love staying on property. I enjoy the concept of a pre-paid place to stay on vacation. I love the staying in deluxe equivalnt accomedations, esp after my last stay at All Stars (wasn't bad, just wasn't DVC). I also must say, it's nice to have a reason to have to go on vacation every year. ("I have to go to Disney, can't let my points expire.") I can safely say that w/o DVC I wouldn't be going to Disney every year (I probably wouldn't be taking a vacation every year). I also wouldn't be staying in the DVC quality of resort when I did travel. If you like going to Disney at least every other year, and you prefer moderate or better accomidations, then I suggest DVC.
I will say that DVC is not a financial investment. It is an investment in friends/family and possibly your sanity. It is expensive, not just the initial buy in cost and dues, but you will find yourself going to Disney more often, and since your room is already paid for ... And then there is Add-on-itist (1000 points!! where's the smilie that turns green w/ envy?!) Of course there's also dealing w/ family and friends that say "You're going to Disney again?" These will be the same familly and friends who will be dropping hints the size of Acme anvils that they want to go w/ you.
My only regret is I didn't do as much research about it before I bought in as I should have, but even knowing what I know now, I'd still do it again in a heart-beat.

I need to look into DVC but right now the point system is making my hair hurt
My initial worry is that most DVC seem targeted to those who 'like their space'. We would only consider a studio, which I am pretty certain is the smallest unit.
We always go to WDW alone, so no big family/friend jamborees! We are both Premium AP Holders and visit WDW 2-3 times a year. We usually stay at POFQ, Pop Century or AKL. My resort of choice would be Wilderness Lodge...
Does this seem like a good option for a couple like us?

I own at the VWL and I think it is a great choice for a couple as the studios there have a queen bed and a couch, and it is quite spacious.
The points system tends to make you want to go there on Sunday thru Thursday Night reservations, as Friday and Saturday are more pricey.
Also the point system tends to make you want to look for the value season often, where my favorite is Disney December.
I like the other resorts as well.
I wish I was there now, I would be sitting in the lobby reading a book and sipping a morning coffee.
Your a cute looking couple by the way !

To decide if it makes sense for you, you have to calculate the time value of money, and you have to decide if you want to basically be locked into taking one vacation every year for eternity. :-)
Using the following assumptions: Boardwalk Villas, second to peak period, standard category, paying $84 a point and being able to buy exactly 111 points and paying a $4 a point for maintenance.
That would mean that one has $9,324 tied up in the club. Given tax free bond interest rates, one gives up $400 a year in interest, and spends $444 on maintenance. Booking a room there costs $2692 during that period, so one's savings is $1848. Projecting out, if one visits every year for 5 years, it is probably a good deal. Again this assumes that one would always stay at Boardwalk Villas if one was traveling without being a DVC member.
If one is a more aggressive investor, the numbers look a bit different. Given an annual rate of return of 11.39% (for example Vanguard's Asset Allocation Fund), one only saves around $1100 so it takes closer to 8 years to break even.

I go down anywhere from 2-5 times a year and until a few years ago I would always stay with family. Even though they had the room and I always felt comfortable at their house it never really felt like a vacation to me. So I started to research DVC and ended up buying in OKW and BWV - best decision I ever made. Now when I'm down there it actually feels like I'm on vacation. Typically I will get studios and they are plenty big enough. I'm heading down on Sunday and I'm staying at a 1 bedroom for the first time because I was originally supposed to go with someone but it didn't work out. On one hand I feel like it's a waste of points for just me but on the other hand I have to admit that I'm looking forward to the jacuzzi! I took my Mom and 2 nieces down in January and we had 2 studios, that seemed to work out better for us than a 2 bedroom.
If you're considering it take some time and do some research. Look at how many points you would need - you can get the point charts here or even download programs to calculate points and do "what if" scenarios. Think about where you want to buy - SSR gives 12 additonal years but you may prefer the feel of a different resort. You can usually save money by going resale but purchasing direct from Disney might be easier if you need to finance. And as Tom mentioned, don't forget the annual fees - they vary but use $4.00/point as a rough estimate. I purchased both of my contracts through resale using two different companies. If anyone has any other questions feel free to pm me - I can provide you with a bunch of links that I used to do research.

We started the same way and thought that a studio would satisfy our needs. We were also set on VWL as our home resort for a number of reasons:
I looked at how many points we would need to cover the majority of the times we would want to go down. I elimnated the peak, peak, peak seasons of Christmas week, Easter and Thanksgiving.
Given that I like many people are a corporate drudge, I decided that I needed to be able to stay over on Fridays and Saturdays, because that's when I have time off.
The points are really not so very hard to manage. I find now find them quite easy, and we even have two different membership numbers.
I can recommend a few sites and point calculators and planners. If you just want to look at point charts, you can go to, the Time Share Store, a resale broker (how I bought my first VWL contract). The link to their site is:
Then there are two programs for a PC (I have a mac, but I used these on a friends PC) they were developed by a DISer named Caskbill. Both are free programs.
One is DVC Chart which is a set of point charts and gives you some minimal functionality.
The other is DVC Planner that lets you play "what if" vacation planning scenarios. You can get the programs by going to:
When I was exploring I also posted questions on the DVC boards here. If you have any questions, you can also PM me.
Now I said that we originally thought that all we would ever need is a studio. And, studios are nice and room and definitely a step up from regular room, especially with having the microwave and all. But, we have now become really spoiled with 1 bedrooms, plus we like the flexibility of a friend/friends coming down with us. And I never thought I'd say this, but I also love having the washer and dryer in the unit. We pack much lighter.
So, if you have any questions, ask.

Thanks IanKH!
We really fell for Wilderness Lodge as well on our last trip! I loved taking the launch to MK (and crossing the Water Pageant! Well hello there Sea Serpent! ) after an evening stroll. We had a great meal at Artist Point and I loved the feel of the adjoining bar.
This is definitely something we'll be doing our homework on, not a spur of the moment decision. This past year, we went for 7 days in June, 6 in December and now 14 in May. And that's not counting DL & DL Paris...if only they made international AP's!!!

Actually, I'm glad we waited because although it was several years after it opened, we got exactly what we wanted which was VWL.
We love the water pagent too. It surprising that after umpteen visits, we still make a point of grabbing a beer, heading down to the beach and watching the Electrical Water Pagent at least one night during a stay.
My next goal is for us to be a Flag Family!

For a boy, it is the lowest degradation to get called a girl.
For a girl, it is the lowest degradation to get called a girl.

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up

I'm new to the .17 club. I've got the savage 93R17 which I like OK, but what about the ammo? I see the Hornady ballistic tip, the hollowpoints and all, but would like to know everyone's opinion before I buy a S@#tload. And 17gr.or 20gr. gamepoint? Any help will reduce my profanity level.(hopefully!)

Whatta ya think? hornady ballistic tip, hollowpoint or what? and 17gr. or 20gr. gamepoint? I'm new to the 17 and just got the Savage 93R17. I like it ok but just don't got the real dope on the ammo yet?
What are you going to be shooting with it? That makes ALL the difference in bullet selection.
shooting mostly small game like fox,lynx etc. I live in the interior of alaska and so ptarmigan, grouse and the occasional wolf. time may come when a guy would need to headshoot a moose for food I guess
you mean the ballistic tip,right?
If I was you,I'd go to something like the .22 hornet (at least) for something the size of lynx or wolf. Down here in ky,we've had a LOT of coyotes run off after being hit solid with the .17 rimfires. I know they was hit solid because I found them later. The 1s that ran off and we didn't find,naturally can't say for sure where they was hit. About 1/2 of the yotes I've seen hit with a .17 ran off and about 1/2 dropped-that's too many as far as I'm concerned. Imo the .17s are just too small for bigger critter varmits based on what I've personally witnessed. For smaller critters meant for tablefare,the .17s were too explosive and tore up too much meat unless hit in head.
