6 Real People Who Turned Their Homes Into Death Traps
#3. Ian Price's Explosive Spare Room
The Backstory:
Ian Price had a couple of problems: his marriage was on the rocks, he was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, he had to keep hiding his mistress and, worst of all, he had a job as a kitchen planner. And this was unfortunate. Ian was a simple man; he didn't want much. All he wanted was a bunch of unearned money and the freedom to bone his new mistress over the corpse of his dead miserable wife. And who among us hasn't sought a similar aspiration? Should we really fault Ian for daring to chase down his dreams?
The Execution:
Oh yes, very much so, we can. Price built a device to go off and torch his house while his wife was in it, killing her and netting him both the fire insurance and her life insurance benefits, which is less like "chasing your dreams" and more like... well, "burning down your house and murdering your wife." There's not really an analogue there.
The device involved a heat gun, a light timer, a stack of wicker furniture, a blowtorch and a gas cylinder, and about a metric ton of crazy.
The biggest flaw in a plan that was positively dripping with flaws was that it relied on his wife idly sitting in the house while it burned to the ground. Mrs. Price, being at least a hair smarter than Mr. Price, knew enough to walk out of the flaming house after calling the fire department. The firefighters found Price's little toy and Price is currently waiting in jail learning how many years of prison rape he's going to be sentenced to.
"And I wouldn't gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling cops. And those pesky fireman. And my wife's functioning legs. And a basic understanding of physics. And..."
#2. Nigel Cockburn's Magical Exploding Shed
The Backstory:
Nigel Cockburn, in addition to his humiliating name, owned three cottages and a shed in the middle of nowhere (England) that he claimed people kept breaking into. Cock-"The Hammer"-burn claims that he was broken into 20 times in 14 years, and that anybody he confronted about it promised to get 50 friends to beat the crap out of him, because beating the shit out of a British scientist clearly requires a couple of rugby teams. So when the police seemed useless, Cockburn did what any nerd would do: started stockpiling serial killer supplies and installing beartraps on the doors to defend them.
Also known as "Bronsonization."
The Execution:
On July 10, 2006, Cockburn's shed caught fire and, because they're good at what they do, a bunch of firefighters just burst in to save the day. Then, because they're also good at not getting killed, they decided to burst right on out when they saw that Cockburn had massive piles of ammo stored inside. When the police came, they found that, beyond the flaming shed, Cockburn had wired his cottages with a bunch of infrared sensors, and had, in addition to a whole bunch of ammo he wasn't supposed to own, tubs of weed killer and other chemicals, canisters of gas and a whole bunch of CCTV cameras. And if that didn't convince them, he also had a microwave in his shed that would electrocute you if you touched certain items in the area(re: any items in there).
Oh, there's more. Ian Swan, an explosives expert, made the mistake of pushing open a door and got instantly whacked with a beartrap made out of solid steel with eight nails soldered onto it (what the police are calling a "man trap"). Swan says he felt it go right down into the bone and, providing the typical British understatement, said it was "quite painful."
Cockburn, when he was dragged into court, showed balls almost as big as Swan's when he claimed the razor-sharp device rigged to the door was just "welding practice." The jury didn't buy it and convicted him of everything he was charged with except "wounding with intent," or, as Cockburn would probably call it, "murder practice."
#1. John Saperstein's Anti-Baby Apartment
The Backstory:
1997 was a weird time for all of us, that's a given. John Saperstein, an unemployed construction worker living in New York, took weirdness to the extreme. Instead of looking for a job, he decided to channel his energy into selling small children fireworks and knives hidden in lipstick tubes. But you've been reading this whole article, so you already know that's not the stupidest thing Saperstein did.
The Execution:
Possibly while experimenting on a new, horrible, exploding toy to sell to children, Saperstein managed to blow a hole in his left hand with some homemade explosives. En route to the hospital, Saperstein warned the cops that he had two bombs set up in his apartment--which proves you can still be a dick with a missing hand, because Saperstein had actually rigged up four.
"Haha, I got you, you stupid fuckers. Oh, man, the looks on your faces."
One was the classic tripwire bomb like Grandpa Rambo used to make, and another was hidden in a small container. But Saperstein really got creative with the last two, which he hid in a flashlight and in an empty box of baby wipes. So he had it out against people who moved around a lot, looked in small containers and needed baby wipes.
If that sounds a lot like a baby, it might surprise you to know Saperstein actually had his 18-month-old daughter in the house.
"Haha, I got you, you stupid, baby, fucker. Oh, man, I didn't think this through."
So maybe he was just trying to do the right-wing militia version of Baby's Day Out and shooting got a little out of hand. Or maybe a guy who sells M-80s and lipstick knives to kids just possibly isn't the most responsible parent you can find.

It's Like Mascara For Your Windows!
Yo yo! You guys, my living room is literally 98% done. I have one small project to finish and then dun dun dun dun DONE!
So all you ladies out there know what a huge difference mascara makes to your over all finished makeup routine right? (and even better than mascara are fake eyelashes) This project is like that. You don't know what you are missing until you look naked (or your room looks naked) without it.
Today we are talking window trim, and more specifically black window trim. I know it may seem a bit well, black, but it made the HUGEST difference in my living room. Here is the before and after:
Amazing right?!!
This project LITERALLY took me one morning to do (because that is all the time I had!) Its actually a fun story. At 10:00 I got an email from Laura. She co-owns Southern Utah Bride magazine, check it out if you need any sort of inspiration, they are so fantastic. They were doing a mid century photo shoot the next day and their location had fallen through. So naturally with my famous orange couch she thought of me. There is nothing like a quick deadline to get me moving. I had been playing around with the idea of framing out the windows since we took out that awful beam and put black moulding up in our hallway. So my BFF Hailee came over and helped me get the job done. I have no idea what I would do without that girl. She is my Justin Beiber to a screaming teenager. You can check out the photo shoot here.
And because of the crazy rush I didn't take any pictures. So if you are wanting a tutorial you will have to wait a bit (because I am doing it in my kitchen too!!)
Painting high contrast trim is such a great pick me up if your room is feeling a little stagnant. Its like the best set of falsies you can buy.

So I have a column in my table called 'names' which is a VARCHAR (60), but I am trying to accept international characters properly. For Chinese/Korean characters it is just putting '?' in place of the actual chracters. What is the collate that works properly with the international 2 byte standard(s)? I also need to be able to SELECT data from this column based on case sensitivity so

Imaging Longevity
By Ka Bo Tsang, Assistant Curator, Chinese Paintings & Textiles
This large painting done in a hanging-scroll format is from a royal hand, that of Cixi, the Empress Dowager (1835-1908). Directly or indirectly, this most powerful woman in China in the latter half of the 19th century was in full control of the Qing empire until the very end of her life.
#5Reasons to come to @ROMToronto this weekend!
So this weekend @ROMToronto? Kind of a big deal. On Saturday we're covering all things archaeology and Sunday we're doing the same with palaeontology. Maybe the two best ologies!
Citizenship Ceremony
The ROM and Citizenship and Immigration Canada hosted a citizenship ceremony during Citizenship Week on Monday, October 15, 2012, in the Samuel Hall/Currelly Gallery followed by a reception in Bronfman Hall. For the event, which was the first held at the ROM since the year 2000, the ROM and Citizenship and Immigration Canada delivered citizenship for 60 new Canadians.
National Archaeology Day at the ROM!
Phil Currie, the legend, my hero, is coming to the ROM!
One of the greatest experiences of my life occurred when I was just 7 years old. My mom took me for a week-long adventure to Alberta to visit Drumheller and the Badlands.
On the Shoulders of Giants – Phil Currie at the ROM on Oct. 7th
First introduced to dinosaurs through a plastic toy in a cerealbox, renowned palaeontologist Philip J. Currie embarked on a life-long journey to study these creatures of the past.
Life in the ROM DNA Lab
By Oliver Haddrath, Ornithology Technician
DNA testing over the last 30 years has revolutionized many different fields ranging from health care to law enforcement to the study of human civilization and natural history. The ROM was quick to adopt techniques such as DNA sequencing and genetic fingerprinting as powerful tools to help study its collections.

ROM Mycologists in the field
Posting by Kirstin Bourne
Mushroom season has only just started and already ROM mycologists have been out in the field conducting research and searching for new specimens to add to the museum collection. Last week I got the chance to join Jean-Marc Moncalvo, the ROM's Senior Curator of Mycology, along with Ph.D. Candidate Santiago Sanchez and Josie Carding, a summer intern in the Schad Gallery of Biodiversity for a few days of foraging and camping in Ontario's Awenda Provincial Park.

Recipe: Vegetarian Bibimbap
I love nothing better than a warm, delicious, one-pot meal. And a true favorite is this vegetarian Bibimbap recipe. Pronounced "Bee Beem Bop," this dish is a highly nourishing, classic meal in Korean cuisine. It's composed of sautéed vegetables, rice, raw or cooked egg, and if desired, meat (usually beef). The word Bibimbap translates to "mixed rice."
This dish is a rainbow of colors, tastes, aromas and textures — an unbelievable main course that is guaranteed to make your taste buds sing. The dish is thought to have originated in the Royal Courts of Korea. I enjoy thoroughly mixing the ingredients together before the first bite, which provides for full-on, unbridled flavor! The best part about it? You're eating whole foods that elevate your wellness with each forkful. Enjoy healthy!

According to weight weeniesthe Continental Speed King Supersonic is the lightest 2.3 or larger tire.
It's pretty unlikely that anyone keeps a list of weights for all the available tyres by width. Your best idea is to download the datasheets of brands/models you consider good enough (quality wise) and then compare the weights.

There is a new host for season two of BBQ Pitmasters. Kevin Roberts has been selected by TLC to host the second season of BBQ Pitmasters.
Kevin Roberts is an executive chef, cookbook author, sports bar owner, and radio & tv personality. Here is his bio from his website Munchies TV He also goes by the nickname "the Food Dude"
Recently he was on the Today show introducing him as the new host of TLC BBQ Pitmasters and his segment certainly elicited a variety of responses. The vast majority of those being unflattering. Between the incessant mustard shots and the advice to boil your ribs in beer it certainly made for cringe worthy TV in the eyes of many bbq'ers who vehemently oppose boiling ribs (I am in this group). He definitely got people talking on BBQ forums and foodie websites.
Overall until the show airs we will all have to wait and see how he fares as the new host with the new format. I would not dismiss him right now. The show I believe is being changed to appeal to a wider variety of audience. Not just competition BBQ'ers and our focus on the 4 main meats (brisket, ribs, chicken, pork butt) but more to the general public. Obviously there had to be changes to the format. They averaged 900,000 viewers by all accounts that I have read against some tough other shows. The ratings must increase. How they get there remains to be seen. I wish the show and the future teams appearing on the show all the very best. My hope is that once again we see an increase in people coming out to the competitions and more people joining up to the various sanctioning bodies all over North America.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Additionally if you are in the LA area and are a BBQ lover or look like a BBQ judge (seriously?? )

Definition of Homeschooling
Q: What exactly is homeschooling and how does it work?
A: Homeschooling means learning outside of the public or private school environment. The word "home" is not really accurate, and neither is "school." For most families, their "schooling" involves being out and about each day, learning from the rich resources available in their community, environment, and through interactions with other families who homeschool.
Essentially, homeschooling involves a commitment by a parent or guardian to oversees their child or teen's educational development. There are almost two million homeschoolers in this country.
For more information about homeschooling, visit How to Homeschool.

Isabel Shaw is a freelance writer and homeschooling mom of 15 years. She and her husband Ray homeschool their two daughters, Jessica and Amanda.

Currently I'm developing a widget for a client, which has a step by step wizard style of filling using javascript. However, their widget for desktop would use 2 large backgrounds to fill up the entire screen including most large screen size resolutions. It's already throwing red flags with me as I think these may take forever to download to the user, let alone two separate requests for each background.
At the end I may have to convince the client to reconsider this design option and opt for one background only.
Just a simple question, I know that more and more people can get access to faster internet these days, but I'm just wondering in this day and age, what is the absolute maximum file size that a large background should use?
Any figure would give me an idea which I can possibly use to convince the client to change their mind.

Here is a dish that looks terrible but tastes great. Perhaps something needs to be added to the recipe to create some colour contrast so it looks less tan. Anyway, this is a great way to eat the oft maligned tempeh. If you find tempeh has a peculiar taste, you can simmer in in water for 10 mins or so.
- 225g medium rice noodles
- 1 block of tempeh, cut in half lengthwise, then cut in small cubes
- 2 tbsp peanut oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp red curry paste (or to taste)
- 1 tsp coriander
- salt to taste
- coriander for garnish
1. Get noodles soaking in hot tap water for 30 mins.
2. Meanwhile, prep the tempeh. Heat 2 tbsp peanut oil in a frying pan or wok over med-hi heat. Add tempeh and fry for 5 mins, until golden all over. Add soy sauce and water and mix well, letting tempeh soak up most of the liquid.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add peanut butter, mixing well. Add a splash of water if needed. Remove tempeh from pan. Wipe pan or wok clean.
4. Drain noodles when ready. Heat 1 tbsp oil in pan or wok. Add noodles and fry for 3-4 mins, until they get translucent and begin to stick together. Add curry paste and mix well. Then mix in coconut milk. Add coriander and season to taste.
5. Mix tempeh into the noodles and let simmer for a few mins to heat through. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

OK, so a little off topic (though this recipe looks AHHHH-mazing) I just thought I'd let you know I mentioned you in my blog today - I have gotten four or five totally sane blogger-type people that have asked if I (Tofu Mom) am the same person as "Vegan Mom" (whom I assume is your WIFE of course!) Which is weird. At least I don't see any connection. But then people put the most random things together. So I set the record straight in my late-night ramblings. And I hope that's OK. LOVE LOVE your blog as always.

This should be called "Tempeh Helper" since it sort of looks like Hamburger Helper (but must taste a lot better).

Hi Vegan Dad,
I just found your blog which has some oustanding ideas for vegan food.
I have a question. Do you have to use canned coconut milk or can you buy the kind from the dairy section? I work for a company that makes a coconut milk so I wonder if I can substitute that.

So having said that, let's start with "how to draw Garrett Bobby", step by step. Garrett Bobby Ferguson is basically a character that is seen battling with Mordecai and Rigby with the game Broken Bonez. Garrett used to hold the world record for highest score before Mordecai and Rigby beat him at his game. Garrett got so mad, he exploded. Anyways, have fun and be sure to let me know if there is other characters you would like to see as tuts.

Get All For:
The Clear Proof® Acne Treatment Gel** is used to spot-treat whiteheads and blackheads with 5% benzoyl peroxide. It:
Cleanse skin before applying. Cover entire affected area one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a physician.
Benzoyl peroxide is recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. dermatologists as an effective acne-fighting ingredient. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is an oxygen-releasing ingredient that kills bacteria. P. acnes bacteria flourish when there's a lack of oxygen, like in a clogged pore. By creating an oxygen-rich environment, BPO can help reduce the number of P. acnes bacteria that can cause lesions to form. It also can help in dissolving the buildup of dead skin cells.
The Clear Proof® Acne Treatment Gel** works best as part of the Clear Proof® Acne System, which uses a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to attack multiple factors that can contribute to acne breakouts. The system has been shown effective on teens and adults, males and females, and different ethnicities from coast to coast.

Jury Finds Doctors Were Not Negligent
Published: Friday, February 28, 2014 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 12:06 a.m.
BARTOW | After more than four hours of deliberation, a circuit court jury Friday decided two doctors were not negligent in their treatment of a Lakeland woman who died in 2007 after giving birth to twins.
The civil trial lasted about a month and centered on the 2007 death of Kymberly Harris, a 37-year-old mother who died following complications after her twin daughters were delivered by Cesarean section at Regency Medical Center for Women and Infants, which is owned by Winter Haven Hospital.
The lawsuit originally was filed in December 2008.
The case was handed over to the six-person jury following closing arguments by lawyers at the Polk County Courthouse in Bartow.
Defense lawyers Friday argued that the woman's death was caused by a rare condition and not negligence on the part of the doctors.
"They provided her nothing less than her best chance at life," said defense lawyer Kristen Ullman.
Ullman represented Dr. Jana Kenaan, an obstetric and gynecological physician who was accused in the lawsuit of negligence in her care and failing to operate to stop the bleeding.
Lawyer John Bringardner, Ullman's co-counsel, said, "They did everything they could to save her life."
Lawyers for the woman's surviving husband, Jay Harris, and four daughters asked jurors during the two days of closing arguments to consider awarding damages of more than $19 million.
Jay Harris' lawyers argued that Kymberly Harris died from massive internal bleeding, which wasn't detected by her doctors.
The suit maintained that an anesthesiologist, Dr. Charbel Kenaan, failed to "forcefully advocate" that Kenaan operate on Kymberly Harris.
Other listed defendants in the lawsuit include Bond and Steele Clinic, commonly called Bond Clinic; Anesthesia Associates; and Winter Haven Hospital.
While there were no claims of negligence against the hospital, jurors were asked to decide whether the anesthesiologist was an "apparent agent" of the hospital.
Defense lawyer John Bocchino argued the hospital didn't employ either doctor, and Harris signed a contract that said that.
"I represent Winter Haven Hospital, and we are proud to stand with these physicians and defend this case," he said.
Bocchino said none of the experts who testified at the trial ever said the doctors were negligent.
Harris' lawyers disputed the defense argument that Kymberly Harris might have died from amniotic fluid embolism, a serious condition in which amniotic fluid enters the mother's bloodstream.
"It's a very tragic situation when a mother passes away, and we have two physicians who really tried to save her life," Bocchino told The Ledger after the verdict.
"All medical evidence points to a rare medical condition, and it's very nice that the jury returned a verdict that was supported by the evidence."

Not good IMO.
Thread: Does anyone here wear Mambo?
Ronnie the Limo Driver from the Howard Stern show apparently bathes in it, and Howard is repulsed.
What does it smell like?
Not good IMO.
It's Ronnie's signature scent. I have no idea why.
I blind bought Mambo a few years ago, when I was just starting out with my fragrance collection.
When I first smelled it, I was off-putted. I immediately realized this is the same scent a mechanic wore at my local auto-body shop (he was in his early 20s). This is the type of scent young adults wear. I can totally see them clubbing with it on.
To top it off, it's EXTREMELY strong. It's a projection beast. That's why I totally understand where Howard is coming from on his disgust of the fragrance. I would be too. It's both very synthetic and strong, double the trouble.
Last edited by CaliDude; 10th December 2012 at 02:38 AM.
I can see why Howard would think Ronnie bathes in it. A couple sprays of this could take out a whole room.
For the price, it is not bad.
I used to wear it, but gave it away. It has a TdHness to it, but it is dated and STRONG. Spicy, a little synthetic, and I will not buy again.
I wear it occasionally in summer. Hard to describe, I think of it as a bright, lively scent.
It was a winner of Best New Fragrance of the Year in the Basenotes awards many years back.
I guess the crowd is different here nowadays.
Haha. Yeah, I caught that episode. Was wondering what it smelled like too.
I think Lou Bega wears it. He layers it with Chanel No. 5
OMG, where's Bigsly?
Snarky is as snarky does.
Very generic and synthetic and strong.
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Mambo is REALLY bad. I used to have a bottle, and got rid of it for 5 bucks. It's an orange based fresh fragrance, that gets mangled by chemical smells. One of the worst chemical smelling fragrances I have ever smelled. Steer clear of this one.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
A*Men Ultra Zest (2015)
Burberry London (2006)
Eau des Baux (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)

Please go easy on me this is my first post and I am still trying to chose what pano system to go for...
I am thinking of getting a Ninja 3 for now, I use D200's with various lenses (Nikon 17-55 2.8, Nikon 75-300 etc.) but plan to use a Sigma 10-20 for the shots, however my main question is regarding the D200 fitted with an MB-D200 pack.
If I see:-
Sigma 10-20mm Set to 10mm
NN3 - 53mm NN3 w/CP - 63mm
Do I just add the depth of my MB-D200 onto the 98mm?
Is the unit big enough for this?
Hope I have made sense with this description!
Thank you,

After upgrading my MacMini home server from OS-X 10.7 (Lion) Server to OS-X 10.8 (ML) + Server.app, I saw PostgreSQL 9.1.4 was released.
Unfortunately, the setup process for PostgreSQL 9.1.4 has created these brand new databases:
template1; all the other databases and roles created by me seem to have been deleted!
To better understand what has happened:
> Which postgres
OSX 10.7.4: /usr/bin/postgres
OSX 10.8: /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/postgre
$PGDATA is now on:
OSX 10.7.4: "/var/pgsql"
OSX 10.8 "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL/Data"
After the update the
/var/pgsql folder is gone.
Since I do not want to repeat this experience in future updates, I think it is a good idea to create my database on a separate cluster/instance.
How would advise me from here?
- Is there any other way to avoid losing my databases?
- Where and how should I create my own databases without interfering with Apple's databases?
- How can I configure and start a second instance of PostgreSQL on the same OS-X server?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Hollywood is in photo-finish mode with three new movies bunched up tightly for the No. 1 spot during a sleepy weekend at the box office.
Studio estimates Sunday put two movies in a tie for first-place with $13 million each: Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena's police story "End of Watch" and Jennifer Lawrence's horror flick "House at the End of the Street."
And right there in the same ballpark is Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams' baseball tale "Trouble with the Curve," which opened with $12.7 million.
Actual rankings will be determined Monday as studios release final numbers for the weekend.
No matter which movie comes out on top, it was another slow weekend for Hollywood, whose business has been sluggish since late summer. Revenues were down for the fourth-straight weekend.

FUS men's tennis team honored
STEUBENVILLE - The Franciscan University of Steubenville men's tennis team won the AMCC Peak Performance award for the second year in a row. The Peak Performance award is an academic honor given to the AMCC to the team with the top cumulative GPA in its respective sport.
The Barons finished the season with a team cumulative GPA of 3.51, nearly .2 points better than last year. Nine of the Barons 10 players made the 2012-2013 academic all-Conference team.
"We couldn't have been blessed with a better group of guys," head coach Jeremy Ellis said. "Not only do they support each other on the court, but at school and any other avenue."
The Barons became the first FUS?team to win an NCAA tournament match last month.
"A lot of times, a coach only hears about the academics of his athletes when they're in trouble, but winning an award like this shows that we don't have to worry about that," said Ellis. "The character and effort and desire of this team to do well is there both on and off the court.
"It was a great season," Ellis said. "I'm excited to see what both the students and God will do next year."

However, when I log in with my past password, I can access all my passwords in clear text there. Doesn't this imply that they also have access to all my passwords? How can I verify that they do not have access to my passwords?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Source: http://lastpass.com/help.php?topic=whysafe&nw=1&fromwebsite=1
In other words, your computer encrypts your passwords with your email and master password and sends that data to Lastpass. When you authenticate with your master password at Lastpass.com, Lastpass.com returns all your encrypted passwords, which are decrypted locally on your computer with your email and master password. Every communication happens over SSL, so anything intercepted is doubly useless (since everything is encrypted with not just the SSL keys but with your email and master password).
The best way to ensure this is to set up a script to monitor network activity and see if anything that is decrypted (including the master password) goes to lastpass.com. Based on what I've seen on forums, it seems other users have done this and found nothing suspicious.
I just verified what waiwai said, and only a hash was transmitted to the lastpass server, and only encrypted passwords were returned. It looks like a key derived and stored in local storage. To steal your master password, a vulnerability or compromise of the server would (or at least should) be needed for someone to modify the way the application behaves. My opinion is that lastpass is safe for normal web usage, but should not be used for high-value targets that skilled attackers may be after.

Ok, mods, what was wrong with my deal this time?
So, I posted a JetBlue deal a little while ago, as I, and others, have done many times in the past.
(See here: http://deals.woot.com/deals/search?q=jetblue&sort=mostrecent )
Within a couple minutes, it was tased into oblivion. What gives?
29 Answers answer
Saving the tags for future reference:
I'm sure they removed your deal because they f-ing hate you ;-)
If folks could do us a favor and tag @jumbowoot on these discussions, that'd be great.
(Generally the only time your local friendly community mods travel into the deals section and away from ATC is when there's a firefight that needs dousing, or spam that needs nuking, so we may not be the best or fastest answer on these.)
Thanks for understanding!
@inkycatz: Sure, just put that in the rules list linked at the top of the page and I'm sure we'll all remember going forward. The same goes for the preferred keyword tags too.
@psaux: Yeah, I see what you did there. :) Just trying to help though.
@ohcheri: it's true. it's always personal.
@pemberducky: Please bear in mind that my initial post made no such allegations. I am just seeking a why - one that can hopefully supplement the community's rather hazy picture of what is allowed and what isn't.
@psaux: So...add a link to the deal here and we'll look into it.
@jumbowoot: I'd deliberately NOT added it above because I didn't want this question to appear to be an end-run around the deletion. The URL was: http://www2.jetblue.com/deals/the-fly-somewhere-new-sale/
In the body of the deal listing I'd included the cutoff for purchase-by and the travel-during window.
When it becomes this much work to post a deal its no wonder why the active user base seems to be shrinking.
C'mon everyone, half the fun is NOT knowing the rules when you play! It's a journey of discovery.
Anybody wanna play 5 card MOW, color on color suite on suite...
@psaux: Looks fine to me. I don't see any duplicates. We are human. Sometimes we make mistakes.
Please re-post if you like.
All told.
@jumbowoot: Perhaps an audit trail visible to the original poster (as suggested by others previously) would be helpful? Maybe it should be accompanied by an "Appeal" button, much like "Tattle," and a "Defibrillate" button mods can use depending on their "Appeal" reaction. Of course, maybe, like football, failed appeals should result in loss of some rep points. (Which would use a "Spank" button, which would be the other choice for the mods. ) Also, a commentary field for the "Appeal" and "Spank"/"Defibrillate" buttons would make sense too.
@psaux: Actually, this could probably just be boiled down to Appeal/Spank/Defibrillate and people'd probably be a LOT happier just with that. Course, that'd mean tased deals would have to be visible to the original poster for a while, post-tase, so to allow for the Appeal button to be workable....
Still, I wouldn't expect that'd be a huge change.
@figgers3036: I bet you like Fluxx
@psaux: did you just reply to yourself?
@ki4rxm: loooooop!!!!!
Thanks for the quick response @jumbowoot
Oops, we did it again. Mea culpa. I'm sorry. Similar words could be soothing. Or not. It is very discouraging to post a deal & have it deleted. Then ask why...and find (at a much later time) that there was no reason. By then the deal may be 'old'...meaning the bloom's off the rose. Also, speaking for myself, sometimes it doesn't seem worth the effort.
Wondering if the still unofficial FAQ's might be helpful? Especially to those who seem to delete deals w/o a reason. Wishful thinking, no doubt.
@raider9924: True dat.
@gmwhit: Now that may be a great idea. To have the mods have a quick reference sheet of 'da rules' to refer to.
I also really like the idea of an 'appeal' button. Or... a simple email to a person giving a canned answer as to what rule the mods feel was violated. It can even be a 'don't reply to me' email addy. Then, if after that explanation, the OP feels that their deal was deleted in error, they come post a thread. It would eliminate some of the confusion, at least.
@ohcheri: You're a fan of the Dark Tower series as well as Buffy? Your rep has only continued to climb in my book ;)
I am a rabid DT fan!! Every time a new book comes out I go back and read the series from the beginning so I've read DT1 10+ times. (I've also read "The Stand" every year since 1979...)
Hoping the movie version of The Dark Tower will come somewhat close to our expectations :-)
@ohcheri: I'm hoping the DT movie turns out to be a winner, too, but Stephen King movies are usually a disappointment. Oh, and I bet I've read The Stand at least a dozen times. Great book!
@inkycatz: You said: "Generally the only time your local friendly community mods travel into the deals section and away from ATC is when there's a firefight that needs dousing, or spam that needs nuking, so we may not be the best or fastest answer on these."
So...I have a question? Who are these "mods" (or whatever they're called)? Who ARE those who delete deals such as the one mentioned here?. And work tattles, change tags, etc. I must add: They've been very helpful to me in changing typos I've made on deal titles. Or adding a photo that I'm unable to. And thanks for that, nameless souls! :-)
But...do we know them by name? Do they ever post anywhere? Is this a part-time job for wootbot? Kidding ;-)
@barnabee: @maddogofgilead (I meant to invoke your name on the last comment)
Most of Mr. King's movies are disappointing (although Misery, Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile were outstanding) but I heard that Ron Howard would be involved in the Dark Tower movies and he just can't do a bad movie :-)
Sorry to hijack the thread.
I am not at all for the appeal button.. Then we wouldn't see these "why was my deal deleted" threads anymore..
and I would miss them terribly
Well where would the challenge be if we just TOLD you what was wrong with your deal? Where's the fun in that?
This way it keeps things interesting :)
@gmwhit: Here's my previous explanation of the two mdoerator groups:

Folks who buy a physical copy get a physical map to go with it:
What do these x's mark? Standing stones? Shrines?
It seems they are generally points of interest related to Nord mythology. I methodically went to each X on the map, and here's what I found:
Guardian/standing stones
The Serpent stone isn't marked on the map because, according to Nordic culture, the Serpent is the symbol of evil and is waging a constant war against the three guardians, those being the Thief, Mage, and Warrior stones, and those guardians' charges, those being the Lover, Steed, Lord, Apprentice, Tower, Ritual, Atronach, Shadow, and Lady stones.
Other points of interest
Those would be the standing stones. They seem to match up closely with there locations especially the one by Riverwood. It also says so an this site. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian_Stones
They are dragon burial sites. It's not anything complicated or magical.
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

The owner of a now defunct Bowling Green investment firm was sentenced to 10 years in prison for theft by deception.
Brian Springer entered an Alford plea on Feb. 3. The Alford plea means he admitted no guilt but did concede that there may have been enough evidence for a jury convict him.
Thursday in court Springer tried to change his plea and take the case to trial. Springer's urgent appeal to Warren Circuit Judge John Minton was to set aside the plea from last February.
Springer's plea was denied and he was charged with 52 counts of theft by deception over $300.
Springer's victims said Springer sold them 20-year cd's and they thought they were buying one year cd's.
Springer's attorney said that a month after Springer made his Alford plea Springer received documents from a cd brokerage firm that he believes would have shown the victim they were buying 20-year cd's.
With this new evidence, Springer wanted the judge to set aside his plea and take the case to trial. Judge Minton denied Springer's motion and sentenced him to 10 years in prison.
Springer's attorney says he will appeal.
Springer is also facing federal charges of mail fraud and money laundering. He is set to be sentenced in U.S. District Court on those charges on Oct. 6.

I recently participated in a "faceless portrait" challenge. Some of the photos looked like decapitations. Others were people with there faces covered with a cloth mask, or a hand in front of the face. If there is such a thing as faceless portraits, what are the criteria?
I'd like to think that Yousuf Karsh's 1954 picture of cellist Pablo Casals counts as a portrait. When arguably the best portraitist of his age believes that such a representation of his subject is the best way of conveying that person's essential identity to others, I tend to give that opinion some weight. Much the same could be said about a picture of a shy child hiding behind her hands (or, in a former time, hiding in her mother's skirt), an artist at the easel, dad (or grandpa) being little more than a pair of hands supporting a newspaper at the table, or a student lost in a book.
That doesn't make any old picture of a person whose face you can or cannot see a "portrait". A portrait ought to extend beyond a mere likeness into the realm of essence. The Sears and J.C. Penney catalogs, fashion and beauty magazines, and so on, are full of likenesses that have nothing to do with portraiture. On the other hand, the Farm Security Administration project and Life and National Geographic magazines have generated an awful lot of genuine portraits, even if the individuals in the pictures can't be (and aren't meant to be) identified.
It's that feeling you get that you know something about the person that makes the difference. (Whether what you know about the person is something genuine or merely a persona they're projecting for the picture is another question entirely. Are they pictures of Hal Holbrook and James Whitmore in costume, or portraits of portaits of Mark Twain and Harry Truman? Things can get a bit fuzzy around the edges.)

A Department of Beaufort County Government
Have you ever wondered why South Carolina is shaped the way it is? As is the case for most of the United States, boundary disputes sometimes create odd juts of land in current state borders. When rivers are used as dividing lines, they sometimes shift as water levels increase or recede, islands appear and disappear, as erosion occurs, etc. South Carolina has quarreled with its neighbors about property lines for centuries – and the Treaty of Beaufort has been in the thick of the discussions about the southern boundary with Georgia and where exactly the state line falls in the Savannah River.
On June 9, 1732, King George II chartered the Colony of Georgia setting the boundary between Georgia and South Carolina as "the most northern part of a stream or river there, commonly called the Savannah." The precise location of segments of the boundary, however, proved to be a matter of continuing dispute between South Carolina and Georgia. Much of the controversy originally concerned navigation rights on the river. The colonies squabbled – and when the colonies became states they squabbled -- about the precise boundary. Commissioners appointed by each of the States met at Beaufort, S.C., and produced a Convention known as the Treaty of Beaufort signed on April 28, 1787 that was meant to settle the matter. But alas, it did not.
The United States Supreme Court has decided three cases about the SC/GA border dispute which are shared by the Legal Information Institute, an organization dedicated "to ensure that the law remains free and open to everyone:"
The first case was South Carolina v. Georgia, 93 U.S. 4, 23 L.Ed. 782 (1876). (http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/93/4 [1])
The second case was Georgia v. South Carolina, 257 U.S. 516, 42 S.Ct. 173, 66 L.Ed. 347, decided in 1922.(http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/257/516 [2])
The third case was Georgia v. South Carolina. 497 U.S. 376 (110 S.Ct. 2903, 111 L.Ed.2d 309), decided in 1990. (http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/497/376 [3])

Temple in Carologue, (Summer 2011), pp. 12 – 19. A summary of the article is available as a PDF download (at http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CEYQ...

1995 SUNY Geneseo graduate Melanie Aceto will be among solo performers during the Geneseo Dance Ensemble's concerts April 18-21 celebrating 45 years. (Photo courtesy Paul Hokanson)
GENESEO, N.Y. -- SUNY Geneseo's Dance Ensemble will celebrate 45 years of offering creative movement for students with its presentation April 18 - 21 of "Dancing Past to Present: Celebrating 45 Years." The concerts in Brodie Hall's Alice Austin Theatre will feature alumni artists and current student artists performing works by alumni, faculty and guest artists. The Thursday through Saturday performances begin at 8 p.m. and the Sunday matinee begins at 2 o'clock.
The reunion will include pre-performance dances in the lobby at 7:15 p.m., a pre-concert dialogue with alumni artists at 7:30 p.m.; a slide-show history of 45 years of dance at 7:45 p.m.; and a post-performance dialogue with alumni artists. The performance will feature alumni spanning the years 1976 through 2012.
Tickets are $10.00 and available at the Student Association Ticket Office or online.
The concerts, artistically directed and produced by Professor of Dance Jonette Lancos, will feature solo performances by alumni artists Melanie Aceto from the class of 1995, Mark Broomfield from the class of 1994, Victoria Baeder Helmke from the class of 1997, Alex MacDonald from the class of 2008, and Joseph Roicki from the class of 2002.
Kylee Pike Fassler from the class of 2004 will perform a restaged version of "Falling on Five (Trip Beat)" for current student artists, a work she created as an undergraduate in 2003, set to Dave Brubeck's "Take Five."
Guest artist in residence Jon Lehrer, artistic director of the Buffalo-based company LehrerDance, has choreographed "Murmur," based on the theory of quantum entanglement. Rochester-area professor Shahin Monshipour collaborated with Professor Lancos to create "Persian Dances," also to be performed for the Persian New Year Festival March 24 at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester.
Alumni artists join current student artists in performing choreographer Bill Evans' lively tap piece "Yes, Indeed!" restaged by Geneseo senior Kaitlin Keller. Evans, currently a visiting professor of dance at SUNY Brockport, is a world-renowned dancer, choreographer, teacher, writer, lecturer, adjudicator, and consultant of movement theory.
"Riddims," a work by Broomfield, visiting assistant professor of dance,will explore the combination of West African movement vocabulary with Jamaican dancehall culture of roots reggae. Professor Lancos has restaged "Pas de Quatre," a Romantic ballet from 1845 recreated by Sir Anton Dolin in 1945, and her optimistic "Energy Fusion," originally created in 2008 to celebrate 40 years of dance.
Assisting Lancos in directing the production are Broomfield and student directors Emily Andrews, Katy Gerber, Jennifer Levy and Felicia Vanacore. Rachel Prell is stage manager of the show with student lighting designers Josh Karp, Kelsey Bendlin, and Rachel Prell, who are mentored by Johnnie Ferrell, associate professor of theater. Crystal Ferrell, visiting assistant professor of theater, is coordinating and designing costumes.
Support for the production is being provided by generous donors to the Dance Studies Program through The Geneseo Foundation.

Here's the deal. I set up a computer with Ubuntu 10.04 for my grandmother. Everything worked fine. I connected it to the internet at her house today. After rebooting the computer I found that the computer would kick you back to the logon screen if you attempted to logon to her account. It worked fine logging on to my admin account, and also in Gnome's safe mode. I thought it had resolved itself, but turns out it hadn't, and now I don't have physical access to the computer, plus the remote connection I'd hoped to use only works intermittently.
I need some suggestions for troubleshooting for when I'm at her house at some point next week. Ask for any more details, but I'm afraid I won't be able to provide many more until I've checked it out in person, since she is basically unable to use a computer beyond web browsing.
Thanks in advance!

I have been a member on Stack Overflow now for a while, and a reocurring trend is beginning to surface: Users with high reputation are rude, sarcastic, and condescending to users who have low reputation and/or have asked a perfectly legitimate question. And since there is no obvious way for users to report the behavior of another user, or contact each other, perhaps to work out a resolve. When one user, like myself, sticks up for the asker/poster saying it's uncalled for. The reigning argument is that they have a high reputation and I should respect them? I'm sorry but I was raised with the ideology that respect is earned. If a user continually uses rude, sarcastic, condescending demeanor towards other users, then that is hardly earning it. Just because some people have upvoted things they have said, nothing implies the amount of respect they deserve from ME, or anyone else, unless they are being well mannered and appropriate.
There's no sounding board for when a user is being inappropriate. You can't say anything about it, because when you do, they say "it's off-topic and not helpful," because apparently their attitude is.
I like the topics on this site, and I use it frequently for questions that have already been answered. But I'm becoming weary about posting new questions, or answering new ones, because of the manner in which these high-reputation users conduct themselves.
If I wanted to listen to sarcasm and attitude, I'd move back home <.<

(CNN)-- It's an exceptional moment in the struggle to find effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease, says one expert. Why? Take a look at these disturbing Alzheimer's statistics projected for 2050:
• 11 million additional people will have the condition in the United States
• 115.4 million will have it worldwide, compared to the current figure of about 35.6 million
• $1.1 trillion will be spent in the U.S. on caregiving costs, compared with $200 billion this year.
Staring in the face of these sobering numbers, the Obama administration offered details Tuesday of how it plans to take on this mysterious disease that destroys the brain.
The new strategy supports a $7.9 million dollar study on an insulin nasal spray treatment. Separately, researchers will work on the first-ever Alzheimer's prevention trial in people with a genetic predisposition to develop the condition. The strategy also offers solutions for collaborating across federal and state agencies and for informing the public through a one-stop website, www.alzheimers.gov.
"The plan gives us a blueprint to build on our research efforts," U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday at the announcement of the government's new plan. "These actions are the cornerstone of an ambitious and aggressive agenda."
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, said at the announcement that, scientifically speaking, we are in an "exceptional moment" with Alzheimer's, with more "revelations" coming out all the time.
Alzheimer's currently affects more than 5 million Americans.
Health officials detailed the new plan Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Disease Research Summit 2012: Path to Treatment and Prevention. Leading Alzheimer's researchers from around the world are at the National Institutes of Health today to talk about which research should be emphasized.
President Obama signed the National Alzheimer's Project Act into law in January 2011, which called for a coordinated national plan to fight Alzheimer's. In February of 2012, the administration said it would push for a $156 million increase in funding for Alzheimer's research over the next two years. That's in addition to the $450 million already being spent.
As of Tuesday, Obama's proposed 2013 budget allows for a $100 million increase for anti-Alzheimer's efforts, which is part of the $156 million. The other part is for 2012.
Still, funding for Alzheimer's research in the United States has not even approached the level of monetary support for other major diseases. Last year, the NIH spent $3 billion on research into AIDS, $4.3 billion on heart disease, and $5.8 billion for cancer, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
The current thinking among Alzheimer's experts is that early detection and intervention – even before symptoms begin – is better. Individuals with only mild memory problems may hold the most promise for testing treatments.
Scientists know that beta-amyloid plaques in the brain are associated with Alzheimer's disease, but they are not necessarily a precursor to it. Still, MRI and PET scans can detect these plaques and, combined with mild memory problems, there's a high likelihood of developing full-blown Alzheimer's.
There's also a rare form of Alzheimer's that is genetically driven.
Funding is only one part of finding solutions for this debilitating disease. In practice scientists find it challenging to get a lot of participation in clinical trials. Some people don't want to risk the possible side effects of an experimental drug; others do want to try new drugs, but fear being placed in the placebo group. And elderly people may have practical difficulties getting to the study location.

Looking Back, Moving Forward
As I take stock of the accomplishments of the Roswell Park community over the last year, two things strike me: the breadth and diversity of the projects that kept us busy over the course of 2013, and the participation of an ever-greater number of collaborators in these efforts. We truly have been firing on all cylinders, with help from a long list of partners.
Pharmacology Researcher Singled Out for 'Provocative Questions' Funding
David W. Goodrich, PhD, a Professor of Oncology in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, has received a two-year, $406,247 award through the National Cancer Institute's Provocative Questions funding program. These highly sought-after awards give scientists the resources to pursue longstanding questions about cancer biology and control. Dr. Goodrich will look at role the order of mutations plays in development and recurrence of cancer.
October at RPCI was dedicated to promoting early diagnosis and screening in the number one cancer in men, prostate cancer. During the month, we held two events to encourage early detection and screening among high risk populations: Know Your Statistics at Ralph Wilson Stadium and Cruisin' for a Cure here on the grounds of RPCI. The events educated men 40 and older about risk factors for prostate cancer and offered free screening tests performed by RPCI doctors. More than 250 men from across Western New York attended.
