Global Spell Casting Day
Posted by The Curator on Mon Apr 17, 2006
Status: Publicity stunt/superstition An organization named witchschool.com has announced that on May 5th, 2006 an experiment in global spell casting will take place: Hundreds of participants around the world will focus their energy to manifest love, peace, prosperity and hope for the world. With this unified act of will, they anticipate that magic energy will fill people with personal power and create events that will lead to a better world. "We need no longer wait to see if magic is real or not", according to Ed Hubbard, CEO of Witch School, "We can test it through such global experiments, but instead of looking for data, I am looking forward to hearing the experiences people…

Ghosts at Roadblocks
Posted by The Curator on Tue Mar 14, 2006
Status: Fake I've come across two different videos on Youtube that show night scenes of roadblocks in Singapore. I don't have that much information about either video, but stylistically and thematically they're very similar (and very low quality). People are clowning around at a roadblock in the middle of the night, when suddenly (at the end of each video) they see a ghostly white figure. Screaming ensues. (Warning, in case you're watching these at work: The one on the right contains some cursing.) The caption on the first video (on the left) identifies the ghost…

Clairvoyant Gets Message From Woman Buried Alive
Posted by The Curator on Tue Feb 14, 2006
Status: Almost definitely an urban legend The Leicester Mercury has printed a spooky story that sounds very much like an urban legend. (Though I know some people say that true urban legends don't involve the supernatural, so I guess it would be a ghost legend.) Since I don't believe in ghosts, I'm assuming that the story is mostly b.s. But I'm curious if any parts of it are true. The story goes like this: In 1950 Dr Guiseppi Stoppolino of Camerino University was testing an Italian clairvoyant named Mario Bocca to see if his powers were real. During the test Bocca picked up a message from a dead woman calling herself Rosa Spadoni, who…

Spooky Images
Posted by The Curator on Mon Nov 07, 2005
Status: Photographs with blurry objects in them Edna Barrie sent me this series of images that's circulating around. It's accompanied by the caption: If You Don't Send This to at Least ten People in the Next 2 Hours You will Forever have Bad Luck.....If You do...Something Good Will Happen to you in the Near Future!!!! Good Luck. What I can't understand is why over-exposed and double-exposed images would cause anyone bad luck. But as it is, I'm slated for permanent bad luck because I waited over two hours to post these on the site.

The Curse of Saint Edmund
Posted by The Curator on Mon Oct 31, 2005
Status: Unlikely A group of anti-development activists calling themselves the Knights of Saint Edmund have hit upon an unusual way of stopping a shopping center from being built in their hometown, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. They're threatening to unleash the ancient Curse of St. Edmund upon the developers. Their website states that: On St Edmund's day, the 20th November 2005, a formal and public cursing ceremony will take place at Bury St Edmunds to once again summon the avenging saint and dread King to punish his 21st century enemies. The ancient curse of St Edmund has not been used for over 500 years, but with the determination of developers to destroy the whole character…

Ghost Found in Gloucester Store
Posted by The Curator on Wed Sep 28, 2005
Status: Unlikely The BBC has video footage, taken by a security camera at night, of a (supposed) ghost haunting a store in Gloucester, England. What you see is a blurry image in which a pile of boxes falls down followed by a scene in which a figure might be sitting in a chair. The audio interview with the manager of the store, Sue Cooper, is also worth listening to, if only for its entertainment value. Sue and the BBC reporter go into the basement of the store, whereupon Sue claims to feel the presence of the ghost and becomes extremely flustered. The reporter, on the other…

The Barton Mansion
Posted by The Curator on Wed Aug 03, 2005
In September of 2001 four people entered the Barton Mansion, which is billed as being one of the most haunted houses in California (it's in Redlands, east of LA). What happened to them is described in great detail on the Barton Mansion website that they created a couple of years later. Included is a videoclip of their supposed encounter with a ghost (the clip looks staged to me). I'm not sure what the purpose behind the creation of the site was. They do sell a Barton Mansion dvd, but they're only asking $9 for it, so they can't make a huge amount of money from it. Maybe they're just big fans of the supernatural, or they're…

Outbreak of Zombie Virus
Posted by The Curator on Fri Apr 29, 2005
A fake BBC news page has been doing the rounds that describes an outbreak of 'zombism' in a small town in Cambodia: After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it's victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during "resurrection." It's a pretty decent looking fake news page, although the url is a dead giveaway (pun intended), as is the awful grammar. The image of the ugly-looking creature comes from a photograph by artist Charlie White that was…

Springtime in Arkham
Posted by The Curator on Mon Apr 04, 2005
This should appeal to all H.P. Lovecraft fans. It's Springtime in Arkham, a collection of scents inspired by the world of Lovecraft. For only $155 you can buy the entire set, sold together as the 'Gibbering Madness Pack: More eternal evil than you can shake a stick at'. The fact that these are only available from April 1 to June 1 makes it all seem a little like an April Fool's day joke, but I think they're quite real. I'm actually tempted to buy the CTHULHU scent: A creeping, wet, slithering scent, dripping with seaweed, oceanic plants and dark, unfathomable waters.

The Carlisle Cursing Stone
Posted by The Curator on Sun Mar 06, 2005
In 2001 artist Gordon Young placed a block of sculpted granite in Carlisle's Tullie House Museum. The granite is inscribed with an ancient curse against local highwaymen and robbers. But some people in the city feel that ever since the 'cursing stone' was placed there, bad luck has plagued the city. "Livestock herds around the city on the border with Scotland were wiped out by foot-and-mouth disease, there has been a devastating flood, factories have closed, a boy was murdered in a local bakery and Carlisle United soccer team dropped a league." So now a local politician has introduced a bill to remove the Cursing…

The Tape
Posted by The Curator on Fri Jan 28, 2005
She-is-here.com and its companion site, the-tape.com, seem to be fairly obvious marketing attempts to 'blairwitch' the upcoming sequel to the horror movie, The Ring (i.e. to create hoax websites to generate interest about it). But still, I've received a couple of worried emails from people who have watched 'the tape' and are a little concerned, so I thought I should post something about it. As far as I know, no stringy-haired decomposing girl is going to crawl out of a well and kill you if you watch the tape. Though I'm playing it safe. I made my wife watch the tape. She then made the cat watch it. My cat is the one posting this message…

LA Times on Ghosts and eBay
Posted by The Curator on Tue Jan 11, 2005
The LA Times has just discovered something that I've been saying for ages: haunted stuff sells well on eBay. As they put it: "Having exhausted bad taste and banality, it appears EBay sellers have moved on to a new marketing strategy — the paranormal. Everything "haunted" is so hot, EBay could launch a new category." But still, the LA Times is only seeing half the story here. What's interesting is not just that people are selling lots of haunted things on eBay. After all, there's always been a market for the paranormal. What's interesting is the new market for haunted junk that eBay has created. Take any old crap that's been collecting dust around your house: an old…

Toma Sota Balcu
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jan 10, 2005
The latest craze sweeping through LiveJournal, Xanga, and other blogging communities involves people posting this message on their blogs: A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded. It obviously seems to be inspired by the movie The Ring. Other than that…

Here's a new ghost photo that's begun to do the email rounds. To me it looks like a simple double exposure... but maybe it really is the ghost of Mary's Grandfather. In which case, sell him on eBay!!

Imagine John Lennon Singing Pro-War Songs in Heaven
Posted by The Curator on Tue Dec 28, 2004
Ever wondered how John Lennon is getting along in Heaven? According to 'internationally known' psychic Linda Polley he's doing very well. She's been channeling his spirit and reporting on what's going on with him. You can read all the latest news on the John Lennon and George Harrison's Official Website from the Afterlife. The biggest surprise is that John has "officially divorced his former partner Yoko Ono Lennon for her support of homosexuality" and decided to marry a dancer named Mary Marie Francesca. Oh, and John has also penned many news songs, which he shares with the people back on earth via Linda Polley. Most of the songs…

Private charities are no substitute for public services
Businessweek's Charles Kenny explains why private charities aren't in a position to tackle income inequality or address the needs of millions of Americans living in poverty. Part of the reason is that the super-wealthy simply aren't voluntarily giving very much of their wealth to charity. It's only by pooling our resources through taxes that we'll be able to effectively combat poverty.

tonight there's Santiago's new movie's premiere.
I miss him so much! :( Cristiada is also going to be out this Friday, so… MORE SANTIAGO!
I live in Italy (
God why?) so I won't be able to watch Cristiada at the cinema, and this is why I'm praying to have it online soon. I'm waiting for Santiago and his mustache. That sexy mustache.
Eoin you are so mean :(
An extra posted a report about their day (April 25) on set of Merlin. Bradley and Colin are both mentioned to be present.
25th April 2012 and it was another trip to Clearwell Caves for a third day on 'Merlin'. Dirtied down again and a day spent mining in the depths. Characters Arthur, Merlin and Lancelot were also present. 7:30 call and 18:00 finish.
I'd be rather surprised if it was really Lancelot, my guess would be that he means Gwaine. Otherwise that would be an interesting and rather huge spoiler.
I really wanna believe in this.
Follow me on Twitter if you like Merlin! :) Tweet me and I'll follow you back! I'd like to talk more with you Merlinians! :)
I think Santiago Cabrera left Merlin because he was too much pretty.
He left Alcatraz also because of this.
And Cristiada disappeared because they knew that Santiago was too much hot.
I know.
Today I re-watched Merlin "Lancelot Du Lac".
When it started i was like
Then sexy Lancelot came out of the water.
Arthur asked Guinevere to marry him.
Lancelot came back to Camelot.
He gave Gwen the bracelet.
Gwen kissed Lancelot.
Arthur and Lance's fight.
Gwen and Arthur's argument.
Lancelot committed suicide.
Merlin and Lancelot scenes.
Lancelot said "Thank you Merlin".
Lancelot definitively died.
I really loved Merlin S4.
I think it's the best, but there are some things I didn't liked at all..
1. LANCELOT: my dear Lancelot. Why?? It was perfect, sexy, hot, sexy, lovely, hot, sexy, hot, amazing! Why the hell did they kill him? :( :(
2. EXCALIBUR: they totally distroyed the legend! Arthur had to take the sword without magic and Merlin.. I am a bit disappointed.
3. THE MARRIAGE: I was expecting a different marriage, something with the rings or other similar..
BTW it was amazing, I really loved Morgana, she is beautiful! and Merlin, EVERYTIME PERFECT!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My man friend and I don't do flowers or swirls or birds or any of that jazz. I wanted a simple Thank You card to send to our guest after our engagement party that didn't make me want to barf. And this was PERFECT! It's simple and easy and it's us. Nothing over the top. Just the right amount of us. We're over the top enough! Glad I made the purchase!"
"All of my friends were impressed with the beauty and quality of this invitation. Comments included," I've never seen such a beautiful invitation." Another comment was. "The quality of the invitation is exceptional!" I am very impressed with Wedding Paper Divas and am planning to order the Thank You cards as well. The quality of this product far surpassed the quality of invitation stores. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's Bridal Shower classy and unique."
"we were going for a calk-board-ish theme for the thank you's to match our invites, and these turned out perfectly! great paper quality, color, print quality, etc. I worked with the customer service dept on the wording and edits and they did an awesome job in a timely manner! Highly Recommend!"
"We created these thank you cards and used the proof option after it had been reviewed by a design specialist at WPD. They recommended not using an enhancer we opted for when creating the card as it adds too much red. We went with what they recommended and the cards were perfect! Great quality in the photo and the paper. The design is simple, yet to the point and made a wonderful thank you card. So many compliments!"
"Our daughter lives in Portland, OR(known as the City of Bikes) and when she was married on top of Counsil Crest in June with just immediate family, I was already thinking about the biking theme for their reception back in September in our home state. When I found your Built for Two design everything just seemed to fall into place. Your customer service is tops with Wedding Divas and when I encountered problems with the picture that we wanted to use, your representives were extremely helpful! I can't say enough about the great comments we have received from our guests who just got the invitation in the mail. I would highly recommend your company to any future bride! I'm so glad I found you on the web! We still have one more unmarried daughter and I will definitley keep this site in mind when her time comes!!!"

Mystery Manor
1,000,000 - 5,000,000 downloads
- Great artwork
- Alleged never-ending story
- A few social features
- Only intrinsic flaws of the genre.
+ By GIGL
"Mystery isn't said in vain"
Reviewed by Peter Warrior / Mar 03, 2014
A beautiful point and find game.
Mystery Mannor is a hidden objects game in which you have to find certain objects within a room, a hallway or wherever. When you find a determinate number of items, new rooms are unlocked. In these new found rooms you will find new challenges, not only in the form of new canvas where you have to find more items, but also new characters to be met and even some puzzles.
Artwork is great, and the plot -which is slowly unveiled- gets more complex at every step. What it starts with the missing mansion master becomes a story with haunted places, ghosts and monsters. To avoid getting lost, you must undertake quests -usually given by strange characters- and be keen to face new and more difficult obstacles. As nearly every other hidden object game, there's a feeling of everything being too static, even though there are puzzles and characters. It's a flaw inherent to the genre, but taking into account Mystery Manor's quality, this would have been a good chance to break with it, perhaps with more cinematic scenes or more dynamic scenery.
Game Insight resolutely walks into this kind of games with this game, promising that the story will never end as there are a lot of updates scheduled, adding new rooms, characters and stuff. Besides whether it's a clever idea to promote a game as never-ending (wouldn't we ever be able to solve all the mysteries?), what it's obvious is that GI wants to show off that they have developed one of the best hidden object game in addition to their usual high quality management games they are known for.
A mysterious Event took place in the Manor and completely ruined the ordinary life of its inhabitants. Their deeply loved master Mister X has suddenly disappeared leaving nothing but a strange message. Only you can break the secret of the Mystery Manor. Dive into the mystery and challenge yourself with hidden objects action!
Mystery Manor is a mystery-style hidden objects game. In a mystic mansion, inhabited by strange but lovely people, spooky monsters and scary ghosts you'll have to solve logic puzzles, find hidden objects and unlock new rooms and complete quests. Mystery Manor is a never-ending game. New quests, rooms, characters are being added on a regular basis. Unlike all other Hidden Objects genre games, you will never finish the game.
Despite of the great gameplay and premium graphics quality, the game is absolutely free!

Russia and Europe to Send Man to Mars?
astroengine (1577233) writes | more than 3 years ago0
astroengine writes "Speaking to reporters at an air show near Moscow on Wednesday, European Space Agency head Jean-Jacques Dordain said his agency and Roskosmos (the Russian space agency) would "carry out the first flight to Mars together."
Naturally, there's no promise of a target date for a Mars landing, but Dordain's announcement underscores an important fact: to get humanity to Mars, international collaboration will be desirable. Perhaps even essential."

Company Funding
Out of hand?
He says he doesn't like that he sees:
1. Many angels in deals with no real deal lead (harder to raise follow on money).
2. Convertible notes.
3. That angels don't raise enough money.
This isn't exactly "out of hand" this is really simply the way it is, and has always been.
Isn't this just a bunch of whining?
Doesn't Joshua simply need to "man up" and put on a helmet if he wants to invest as an angel?
Maybe he is better off on the sidelines now.
If you can't make $700k last longer than 8 months for 3 people, then you're doing something seriously wrong in my opinion.
"a process that he calls "pivoting."
I'm pretty sure Joshua isn't the only one who calls it that
The tone of this post sounds as if Joshua is saying "If I can't get a BMW out of the first round of funding, I don't want your money." Wonder if that's what he means to say. Shades of 1999 (we're going to party like).
Tom –
The "out of hand" was editorializing. My point is that there is a lot of angel money out there, so everything is getting slightly funded. This means it's an easier time to be an entrepreneur than to be an angel — so I switched.
I have been a pretty active angel for the last four or five years and now I am taking a break from it.
Pigeon – Yeah, though SV engineers are pretty pricey… I really mean that companies shouldn't raise < $500k because they will almost certainly die on the vine. They'll be partly done with the product, have no traction, and need to raise again in an environment that is still pretty unforgiving for second rounds.
Rick – I've never, ever sold into a later financing. Instead, what I am saying is — I don't want to invest in things that are almost certainly likely to lose money. That's me talking as an angel investor myself, mind you.
Joshua, you're right – the headline, "Is Angel Investing Out Of Hand? Joshua Schachter Thinks So" was a bit misleading, so we revised it to better represent the facts. And thanks for your comments.
> The "out of hand" was editorializing. My point is that there is a lot of angel money out there,
> so everything is getting slightly funded.
I suspect this to be the case in the Web 2.0/2.0+ internet side of angel investing, *in Silicon Valley*, but I don't
see that type of "over abundance" of angel capital or "over investing" elsewhere. I think the latest stats out
of UNH's Center for Venture Research back that up, see:
This whole "super angel", angel investing bloat problem seems to be solely a Silicon Valley, internet
Bubble 2.0, phenomenon.

I miss writing.. well, typing. I tried to keep a journal, but I don't know what it is — maybe technology? — it's difficult to keep a traditional journal. I would rather type my thoughts.
New Year calls for Reflection
It has been a long and seemingly rewarding year: 2012. We're two days away from January 1st. New beginnings. New challenges. New expectations. Unforeseen mistakes and sub-optimal let downs. It is all coming. The only fear for me is the unknown. I don't know what order will come of these, but I do know that I can do my best to achieve my goals.
Fitness, Family, Focus
2013 is the year of the "Real World." I call it the "Real World" because I'm graduating from Howard in May. I admit to being uneasy. Going to school for over 16 years straight can sort of handicap you. School is all I know. And at least for now, it will be over. Technically you enter the "Real World" after high school, but that's not true. I never stopped going to school. I never stopped taking Winter Break. I never stopped taking Summer Break. I never stopped taking Spring Break. On May 11, 2013, the force of the "Real World" will hit us college grads like a 90mph fast ball to the face. You cringe just thinking about it, huh? Me too.
But even while bracing for a crack in the face from this fast ball, I'm excited. I'm excited for the opportunities and room to grow. It's the perfect time to learn. Making mistakes at 21 is preferable to missteps at 40.
So, that's all for now. I'll have more about the internship, classes, countdown to graduation, work, and family in later posts.
Stay tuned.

The law was written by state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica, with the support of the California affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood. Its aim is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. It also seeks to have schools develop a curriculum that encourages students to develop "healthy attitudes concerning adolescent growth and development, body image, gender roles, sexual orientation, dating, marriage and family."
Trustees are expected to adopt a textbook supplement that teaches students how contraceptives can prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
The supplement, along with other instructional materials that discuss abstinence, dating and reproductive systems, will ensure that the district complies with state law, district officials said.
"This supplement deals with true sex education as far as what students should be learning," said trustee Sal Tinajero, who supports the plan.
"This curriculum is for those who take on the decision that we cannot control."
Last September, trustees voted 4-1 against an abstinence-only approach to sex education after the district was criticized by several teachers and parents who said that focusing only on abstinence did not work in preventing teen pregnancy.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood groups also said that an abstinence-only policy skirted state laws.
Trustee Rosemarie Avila, a proponent of abstinence-only instruction who dissented in the September vote, has said the curriculum should reflect the values of parents in the community.
Parent Valeria Saldivar agreed.
"It is immoral and unsafe to tell our children that it is okay to have sex as long as they use a condom," Saldivar said.
"Condoms don't guarantee you won't get pregnant or catch a disease."
For years, sex education has been a contentious topic in Santa Ana. In 2004, 32 percent of Orange County's 1,904 births to teenage mothers occurred in Santa Ana.
Some parents and teachers said the only way to curb teen pregnancy is for students to have all the tools they need.
"Teenagers are having sex whether we like it or not," said parent Christina Macias.
"They are not going to stop just because we say, 'Hey, don't do that.'"

After two straight seasons of losing in the first round of the playoffs, defensive tackle Domata Peko believes the Bengals are just one or two more players away from becoming Super Bowl contenders:
We're right there in the AFC North. We're on our way. We're a couple of players away. It seems like we could be (in the Super Bowl) doing that, too. I'm really excited to see what we do this offseason. We get some draft picks and we're on our way. We've got a bright future.

Food safety in pregnancy
It is always important to be careful about how you prepare food in the home to avoid the nasty bugs that can cause food poisoning. When you are pregnant, planning a baby or have just had your baby it is more important than ever. Just following some basic guidelines can really help to reduce your risk of getting food poisoning.
- Wash your hands with soap and hot water and dry them - before preparing food, after touching raw meat, after going to the toilet, sneezing, blowing your nose or touching animals (including pets).
- Wash worktops with warm soapy water before and after preparing food, especially if you are preparing raw meat.
- Dishcloths and tea towels are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria - wash your cloths and tea towels regularly and let them dry completely before using again.
- Wash fruit and vegetables with running water before eating (even if you are going to peel them).
- Have separate chopping boards for raw meat and ready to eat foods to avoid bacteria from raw meat being transferred.
- Keep raw meat and ready to eat foods separately and don't allow them to come into contact or be placed on the same surface without washing it. Bacteria in raw meat can be killed when you cook it, but not if they are transferred to foods like salads, fruit or bread.
- Make sure you cover raw meat and keep it on the bottom shelf of the fridge so that it cannot touch or drip on to any other foods.
- When you cook food, make sure that it is piping hot all the way through. For meats like poultry, pork, burgers, sausages and kebabs, check that they are cooked all the way through with no pink meat on the inside.
- Check your fridge temperature (you can get small temperature checkers for your fridge) and make sure it is between 0 and 4oC
- If you have leftovers or food that you are not going to eat straight away, cool it as quickly as you can (within an hour and a half) and then store it in the fridge or freezer. Eat foods that you have stored in the fridge within 2 days.Harm
- Harmful bacteria can grow in foods with a 'use by' date e.g. cooked meats, cheeses, prepared salads, - so don't eat them after they've gone past this.

The DP from BP
Some fans that are not fans of the Reds may tire of the constant raving about Brandon Phillips and his defense. I think that may aimed at the fact he's a Red or they simply don't like BP the person.
Doesn't matter though. Reds fans are truly blessed to see one of the most complete second basemen in the game today. What he pulled off on May 7 is one of the most phenomenal defensive plays we will ever witness from Phillips or any other player. I dare say, this is even better than the through-the-legs play.
The Reds hold a slim 3-2 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brew Crew have runners on first and second and one out. At the dish, Ryan Braun.
On a 3-2 offering from Sam LeCure, Braun sends a weak chopper up the middle. BP snares the ball with his bare hand as he is heading to the ground. Phillips touches second base – with his left knee – and throws across his body toward first base. Joey Votto takes the throw on a short hop. Double play and they honestly don't get any better than this one.
Must see TV right here…

Bolting Plants
Learn the basics of bolting plants from gardening experts.

A link to %this page% was e-mailed
The rapid growth of a stem as it begins to flower is a process known as bolting. It's a process that can be considered both good and bad, depending on the plant in question.
In the case of many perennials, for example, bolting is exactly what you want to happen. Otherwise, the showy flowers would never appear, and there would be nothing but foliage to enjoy. However, in the case of some other plants, especially edible plants, bolting is a bad thing.
Cilantro is an herb that's one of the most prone to bolting, and although you may try, it's difficult to prevent cilantro from bolting within a few weeks after planting. The problem with bolting is that once it begins, the foliage loses much of its flavor. Yet, in the case of cilantro, the flower ultimately yields a seed known as coriander.A number of veggies will bolt in response to higher temperatures and changes in daylength. For example, when the leaves of spinach begin to develop pointy ends, that's a sure sign it's beginning to bolt. You can arrest the process temporarily by simply cutting the elongated stem as it begins to form. But you're fighting a losing battle, so ultimately your best bet is to simply harvest what you can and remove the plant, making room for another crop.

Experts say feds can learn from state archivists
Washington state has a system that preserves electronic records. But as the National Archives and Records Administration struggles to produce its own digital archives, some preservations are wondering why state and federal governments are not collaborating on their efforts.
Next month, NARA officials will choose a design for the $500 million Electronic Records Archives project, which the agency hopes to have in place by 2011. The ERA is an ambitious federal effort to save the government's records regardless of format and make them available on future hardware and software.
One step ahead of the federal government, Washington state completed a smaller, $14.5 million system last October.
"We did not see any advantage of waiting five or 10 years for standards to shake out," said Steven Excell, assistant secretary of state for Washington state. "NARA has the same challenges we have."
Among those challenges: How do you deal with diverse platforms? Do you hire more archivists or buy more machines? How do you scale from terabytes to petabytes?
Management of permanent e-records will be a huge challenge in the next five to 10 years, Excell added. "The delete key is really easy to use and tempting to use," he said.
Part of the push for preservation has to do with increased federal oversight, Excell said. The federal Sarbanes-Oxley and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability acts call for the strict enforcement of e-mail retention policies.
Advances in information technology are another reason for the rapid adoption of e-records retention systems. The cost of mass storage has dropped, and digital is cheaper than paper, Excell added.
The Washington State Digital Archives facility set out to save former Gov. Gary Locke's Web site.
State officials scavenged the Web with a Microsoft Web spider tool to save Locke's site. In the future, the archives will take an annual snapshot of all state and local government sites to reduce the number of fugitive documents.
Washington officials said they will unite with other states to build bigger and better systems, but NARA officials are not closely involved.
"NARA has always been going their own direction," said Adam Jansen, Washington state's digital archivist. "They haven't expressed any interest in a partnership."
NARA officials said they are focused on their own long-term preservation and scheduling issues right now but may explore the idea of working with states in the future.
ERA Program Director Ken Thibodeau said NARA's National Historical Publications and Records Commission has granted funds to several states to assist with research and development for the ERA.
In the future, NARA and state officials will likely collaborate to draft requirements for digital archives, Thibodeau said. "We've been telling contractors that the systems have to be scalable upward and downward," he added.
The state's hassles were similar to the ones NARA will soon face, officials said.
Jansen said one of his biggest headaches was getting IT specialists from Microsoft and EDS to think about long-term preservation. "A lot of it was educating our technology partners on what we were trying to do," he said.
Charles Dollar, a senior consultant at Cohasset Associates in Chicago, said several states have policies for creating digital archives, including Minnesota and Kentucky.
"I don't know why [the National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators] and the NARA are not operating on the same wavelength or same model," he said.
Washington state "did a great job of planning," he said. "It took them about two and a half, three years to go through this. They did not go through a prototyping like the National Archives is doing with ERA."
Two teams one led by Harris and the other by Lockheed Martin are developing prototypes for the ERA. NARA will select one of their designs next month.
Policies for preserving and protecting historical records in the Digital Age differ nationwide.
For instance, Minnesota State Archives, a department of the private, not-for-profit Minnesota Historical Society, only preserves historically valuable records from state and local government. That's a sharp contrast to the National Archives and Records Administration's Electronic Records Archives project, which must preserve all evidence documenting the rights of American citizens, the actions of federal officials and the national experience.
Nevertheless, Minnesota's state archivist, Robert Horton, said the state's archive and the ERA are at different stages of development.
"NARA's got a much bigger set of concerns and resources," he said. "I'm not sure that a lot of states are in a position to collaborate."

Always a favorite with song birds
posted 5 years ago
Great treat for songbirds but the black oil seed is a bit better for them. Striped seeds tend to be a bit messier than the black oil shells but they do love both.
Pros: they love it
Cons: messy

Heart Health Center
Heart Valve Defect Common in Patients With Thyroid Disease
However, when Bell evaluated patients with MVP who did not have Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis, he found no increase in genetic markers. "If there is an association with autoimmune disease, it's not showing up in the classic genetic markers we have for autoimmune disease," he says.
Bell tells WebMD he evaluates patients with diabetes for presence of MVP and often uses the MVP diagnosis as criteria for distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. He adds that although MVP can be a benign condition, antibiotics are recommended for patients with MVP when undergoing dental work or surgery, therefore, physicians should look carefully for MVP in patients with autoimmune disorders such as diabetes, Graves' disease, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Vital Information:
- Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a heart condition in which the mitral valve does not close properly and blood leaks into the left atrium of the heart.
- MVP occurs in 5 to 15% of the general population under 40 but is much more prevalent among patients who have autoimmune thyroid disease.
- Although MVP can be a benign condition, doctors should screen patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders because those who have it will need antibiotics during dental work or surgery.

Baltimore County's contractors are replacing 9,500 feet of old water line in York Road, between Ridgely Road and Padonia Road. The new 24-inch line, double the diameter of the old line, is expected to cost $5 million. The project, according to County engineers, is designed "to build redundancy into the system".
The County's contractor, Burgermeister Bell, started the project in April 2010 and may be finished by this summer. The project is still 99 percent complete. The line is currently being tested.

More Java Flaws Threaten All Web Browsers
CREDIT: Steve Cukrov/Shutterstock.com
UPDATED April 2, 2013: It appears that one of the Java flaws mentioned in this article was part of an elaborate hoax. Scroll to end of story for details.
Oh, Java, Java, Java.
No sooner had Oracle patched a widely reported critical flaw in its cross-platform software environment than another Java zero-day exploit — one against which there's no defense — reared its ugly head.
Meanwhile, two different security firms independently reported that Oracle's patch, released late Sunday (Jan. 13), only partly fixed the first exploit — which itself may have been the result of a flawed patch for a still older Java zero-day exploit.
Such a bargain
Security blogger Brian Krebs, who monitors underground hacker forums, spotted a posting Monday (Jan. 14) from a malware developer offering to sell an entirely new Java zero-day for $5,000.
"What you get?" the seller said in broken English. "Unencrypted source files to the exploit ... Encrypted, weaponized version, simply modify the url in the php page that calls up the jar to your own executable url and you are set. You may pm [private message] me."
Without a copy of the source code or a demonstration of the exploit in action, it can't be verified if the seller was telling the truth. Krebs said the posting was later deleted, perhaps indicating that a buyer had been found.
But the incident illustrates how leaky Java, which was developed by Sun Microsystems nearly 20 years ago, can be.
As we reported last week, it's probably best just to disable Java entirely for Web browsers. Each new Java exploit is quickly built into browser exploit kits that lie in wait on infected Web pages.
It doesn't matter if you're on a Windows PC, a Mac or a Linux box. Java's built to run exactly the same way on all platforms.
Only halfway there
As for this week's patch being ineffectual, the two doubting security companies, Japan's Trend Micro and Immunity, Inc., of Miami Beach, Fla., aren't saying it doesn't work — for now.
But the critical flaw you heard about over the weekend was the result of two different flaws being combined into an effective exploit, and the Oracle patch apparently fixed only one of them.
Hence, the exploit no longer works, but the unfixed flaw is still there, waiting for someone to figure out another way to exploit it.
"The patch did stop the exploit, fixing one of its components," wrote Esteban Guillardoy of Miami Beach, Fla.-based Immunity Inc. on his company's blog. "But an attacker with enough knowledge of the Java code base and the help of another zero day bug to replace the one fixed can easily continue compromising users."
Dan Goodin of tech blog Ars Technica tried to get Oracle to comment on both new developments, but was instead referred to the company's patch announcement from Sunday.
Krebs has his own theory for why Oracle, a well-run company known for its solid big-business database software, has been unable to get ahead of the Java security issue.
"I feel strongly that Oracle is an enterprise software company that — through its acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2010 — suddenly found itself on hundreds of millions of consumer systems," Krebs wrote. "The company lacks any kind of outward sign of awareness that its software is so broadly installed on consumer systems."
UPDATE: In a blog posting on April 2, 2013, Brian Krebs wrote that the $5,000 Java zero-day mentioned on the underground forum was a hoax meant to reveal the alias Krebs used when in the forum.
"When you've gained access to an elite black market section of a closely guarded crime forum to which very few have access, it's easy to let your guard down," Krebs wrote. "That's what I did earlier this year, and it caused me to chase a false story."
Krebs explained that the forum administrators had developed a system whereby any screenshots of the forum displayed on a Web page would surreptitiously reveal which user had taken the shot. Krebs only learned of this after "gray hat" hackers broke into the forum's administrative settings and exposed user data.
"To Oracle and to any readers I may have upset or misled by my previous story on this apparently bogus zero-day, I heartily apologize," Krebs wrote.

Addressing Root Cause
So over the last two days, I have been trying to address the anti-capitalism and pro-government rhetoric coming out of Occupy Wall Street by pointing out that organic farms, bike shops, and record labels are corporations too. The issue is that the government has provided shortcuts and safety nets, thereby destroying what was otherwise a free market. The proposals and demands coming out of the movement would be just as detrimental to those do-good-er companies as to those traded on Wall Street.
I tried to convey this message on the OWS LiveStream last night and it was not well received. Granted it was a Q&A with two individuals who seemed not to be the most educated economists, but there was a narrow-minded ignorance of the real issues, a pig-headed-ness. When one of the guys on camera did finally address the government's role in the problems, he disregarded it while saying, "that is trying to find root cause," like that is a bad thing. Also, I won't expand on the fact that many of my questions were censored during a chat that was over-run with moderators.
I think that maybe if my questions referring to organic farms and record labels were addressed, the protesters would say, "we're not talking about those companies, only the bad ones." But the problem here is that, in law, you can not single out the evil companies from the good ones. Ethics are not a universally agreed upon standard and so a law can not categorize companies based on how moral they are, like they can do concerning how much profit they make or in which countries they operate.
And so we need to investigate the root cause to discover how these companies are being enabled to do their evil. Most of us know that if you look, you will find the government is the cause. One tweeter said to me, "we need companies to stop bribing our politicians." To which I replied, "They take the money! we need leaders who won't take bribes."
So long as these massive corporations know that bribery and lobbying reaches open ears and out-stretched arms, it will never end

I just want to be at peace and for my mind to forget the existence of WSO. I wish I never met him.

Hardware upgrade advice, please.
Hello everyone.
I am looking to upgrade my hardware but I'm not sure on certain parts so may I have some of your advice before going out to buy them, thanks.
I'm looking to purchase additional HDDs and have come down to these choices:
My GPU is pretty weak now and I don't have much cash left to spare. So, should I wait for the older gen GPU to hit lower price and buy them or SLI them because at my country, I can get another 560TI for about USD$130. Is it worth the upgrade or I will be better off waiting out?
Sorry for the long text of wall and thanks in advance.

Personally, I'd go for the Seagate. Overall I've found them to be a little more reliable than WD drives, and better performers.
This might also give you some insights.. PassMark Software - Hard Drive Benchmark Charts
I've never had a Seagate drive fail on me, but I've had over a dozen WD failures.
I'm sure other people have had different experiences.
The WD green drives are the budget drives. Noisier from my experiences. WD dropped their warranty on green drives from 3 years down to 2 years.

I have a 2TB Caviar Green as my storage drive in both of my rigs and they seem fine, they're rarely accessed due to being storage drives so I haven't found noise to be an issue (my Blacks are both very noisy).
As for the GPU question it all depends on your budget and what you want from your graphics. Are you a serious gamer? With a 620W PSU I'd be looking at a better single card, plus that will equal less power draw, less noise and less heat.

Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
Hi there. Personally my experience with Seagate has been good. however after running them hard for 5-6 years the majority of mine crashed, as one would expect. However my western digital drives of 2-6 years are all fine.
Please be aware that unless you have a motherboard with a UEFI bios you may experience issues with drives bigger then 2.2tb and you CANNOT use one as a boot drive (to store your operating system on) without a UEFI bios.
as for graphics I currently use a 660ti and previously a 560ti and both have ran all my games perfectly and that includes current releases so a 560ti would be a good purchase as a single card setup.
For the storage drive I recommend a WD 3tb green

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
For Hard Drives, I have always used Western Digital because I have never had any problems with them. I recommend their Blue line because I have always gotten more life out of them than the Green. The Black is obviously the best but it really isn't needed for a storage drive.
For your GPU, it all depends on what you do and what type of games you play. If there is any advice I an give you, I recommend waiting and saving up your money to get a newer card that fits your needs rather than older older card that fits your current budget. If you spend your money on an older card, you will have to upgrade it sooner than later and might end up costing you more money.
Hope this helps and let us know what you end up choosing.

WD and Seagate have both had their spells where they produced bad drives, but it seems like the past few years, Seagate has really stepped up their game. I own several Seagate HDD's and they all run quiet, and cool. The only failure I've had just happened to be a WD but that doesn't mean I won't buy another one. I like Seagates performance/reliability/price at the moment and have had no reason to go elsewhere. If you can catch the Seagate HDD.15 4TB on sale, you will be set for quite awhile! I have ordered 3 of them so far, two for me and one for a friend, and they have worked perfectly.
|My System Specs
|02 Nov 2013
Thank you everyone for the reply and I have been busy recently. Anyway, sent rep to everyone for such amazing advices.
I have decided to go with the Seagate as they are better in priceerformance ratio and hope that it wouldn't fail me.
Anyway, I have been looking at the recent GPU wars between the green and red. I am interested in either the 760 or 280X due to budget restrains. They both have good promotions for the games and offer but I was wondering how do the code works? I live in Singapore so, am I safe to say that if I were to go out and buy either a 760 or 280X, I'm eligible for the games? Or I must wait for the promotion to 'come' to Singapore?
Another questions, since I'm on a budget (USD$300) and I can either only get 760 or 280X, I was wondering which of the card can I squeeze out the most performance? I would like to play casual BF4, GTA V (hopefully on PC) some maybe some other 'graphics-intensive' games on decent settings. Also, is there any other card like 660TI, 270X which is cheaper than my budget can I also get the equal performance too? I would prefer to save as much as possible to get other peripherals.
Sorry for all the questions and thanks again.

While many within WWE, including JBL, are pushing for him to be called up to the main roster soon, management currently does not have any plans of bringing Adrian Neville up from the developmental program just yet. The plan is to keep him in NXT until at least Wrestlemania.
In order to sell his big match at Wrestlemania 3 against Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant was promoted as having an undefeated streak that stretched over fifteen years. Gorilla Monsoon heavily sold that fact as well. However, he had actually been beaten a few times in other countries during that time period.
"Adrian Neville. Not a doubt in my mind. I think he's just phenomenal. I don't know about his promo skills as I haven't seen them as much, but he's a guy who could go out there and perform on any card, anywhere in the world and be a help to that card. I would love to see him up in the WWE. He'll be there I just don't know the time frame."

"Life is a marathon, not a sprint."
"I'm in this for the long-haul."
"I can see the finish line -- not letting up now."
"I'll sleep when I'm old" or "I'll rest after I finish this next big phase."
"I'm so passionate about what I'm doing that I don't even NEED a break!"
If you're anything like me, you've uttered one or more of these motivational phrases to yourself as you pursued a big project or business idea. As female business owners and entrepreneurs, we often try to do it all -- build a business, eat healthy foods, stay fit, be social, take care of our home and loved ones, and be cheerful on top of it all.
It can be exhausting.
And contrary to all the popular mantras, treating life and business like a marathon might not actually be in our best interest.
My Ill-Timed Book Breakdown
I experienced this first-hand after having a complete and utter breakdown three weeks before my book, Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want, was set to come out. I had been working on the project for more than two years, and in the final months I ramped it up to an obsessive around-the-clock endeavor (in addition to my full-time job at Google). I felt like I was on Mile 23 of a marathon -- I could see the finish line and now was no time to rest.
Because I wasn't willing to take a break, life knocked me on my ass (yes, that's the technical term) and forced me to rest. Despite the fact that my book was going to be released in three weeks and I had an impossibly long to-do list of important tasks to complete, I was a miserable, crying, non-functioning mess. Even though I was incredibly passionate about my project, not building in any rest stops had been a recipe for disaster.
Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time
Tony Schwartz, author of The Power of Full Engagement, recommends that we manage our energy not our time. Rather than treating our life and businesses as a marathon, Schwartz advises we treat them as sprints and recovery (recovery being key here!).
We all know we are going to have big sprints -- that's what makes pursuing a project or business so exciting. But it's imperative that we build in equal parts recovery. Here are five tips for making room for recovering after the big sprint.
- Schedule it. No matter whether or not you think you need a break, schedule fun or relaxation activities in advance and stick to them.
- Double the break you think you need. I know how this goes, "Sure, I'll take a break -- I'll give myself a whole hour off!" Not good enough. Whatever the break you think you need, double it. You are most likely underestimating the toll that all of your hard work is taking on your body and mind -- even if you're having fun.
- Enlist family and friends. If you schedule a weekend get-away with family or friends, you'll have no excuse but to unplug. Family and friends can be great accountability buddies for taking the breaks you need.
- Make a list of the benefits of R&R and brainstorm your favorite rejuvenation activities. I know that even after reluctantly taking a break, I will come back refreshed, more cheerful and more creative -- which puts me in an even better position to do my best work once I'm back at it. Making a list of the benefits will help motivate and remind you to actually take the breaks you've set up. At a loss for what to do? Make a list of any/all activities that bring you joy or relaxation. For me that's reading, yoga, a glass of wine (with chocolate) and watching a few shows on Hulu.
- Break down your biggest goals into achievable, measurable chunks and reward yourself often! For every day that you make a massive to-do list, add a "reward" item at the end that brings you joy. Maybe it's reading a book, a gossip magazine, or going out to dinner with a friend. For many of us, we only take breaks or celebrate when we hit the big goals -- but those can take months to achieve. Instead, break them down into smaller parts and reward yourself for all of the smaller milestones you hit along the way.
So the next time you're headed for a big business sprint, make sure you build in recovery rest-stops. For those of you who already do this, what did I miss on the list above? How else do you balance hard work with rest and play?
