description: The Indian Red Scorpion is considered the most lethal of all scorpions. But despite its reputation, it only stings as a last resort. And rather than humans, it prefers to feast on insects, like roaches.

title: World's Deadliest Scorpion?

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
They are one of the very first predators to walk on land…
They outlasted the dinosaurs.
Scorpions. About 1500 species in all. Living on every continent except Antarctica.
Of that 1500, only a few dozen are potentially lethal to human beings. And of those, this one, the Indian red scorpion, takes the prize as the most lethal of all.
The Indian red is tiny…it’s no bigger than a cigarette lighter. But it possesses a potent elixir. And when it lives near people, it often takes shelter where they do.
In countries like India, scorpion stings are a serous public health issue, particularly among children, where the unclad foot of an unwary youngster can lead to a painful and in some cases if left untreated deadly sting.
Scorpions are arachnids just like spiders, ticks, and mites.
They have four pairs of legs for walking, a pair of pincers for grabbing and holding prey, and mouth parts known as “chelicerae” used to chew food.
The body tapers ending at their infamous stinger.
But, despite their rather fearsome reputation, they usually only sting as a last resort.
Scorpions are shy, nocturnal animals that usually lie in wait for their prey.
And once their victim is captured –either clasped in the scorpions’ pincers, or poisoned by a deadly sting, like this roach- digestive fluids turn the meal to liquid, that can be sucked into the scorpion’s stomach. And what’s left, is cast aside.

(Reuters) - Orb, ridden by Joel Rosario and prepared by homebred trainer Shug McGaughey, won the 139th Kentucky Derby at a wet and muddy Churchill Downs on Saturday.
After settling near the rear of the field in the sloppy conditions, Orb steadily worked his way into contention, then pinned back his ears and sprinted to the front at the iconic Twin Spires and kicked clear to win the $2 million, 1-1/4 mile classic.
Golden Soul, a long shot who enjoyed a trouble free journey along the rails, finished gamely to grab second while Revolutionary was third in the 19-horse field.
"It's awesome, to win the Derby, it's like a dream," said Rosario, who had never won the Derby before but won this year's $10 million Dubai World Cup, the world's richest race, on Animal Kingdom.
"I was so far behind I just let (Orb) be calm and relaxed, then I steered him to the outside because I didn't want to get blocked. He did the rest."
Normandy Invasion finished fourth after leading the field into the final stretch while Mylude was fifth under the guidance of Rosie Napravnik, marking the best finish in the revered race by a female jockey.
Orb, who was bred and trained in Kentucky, emerged as the horse to beat in the annual Run for the Roses after winning his four previous races, including the $1 million Florida Derby, one of the key lead-up events.
He was initially installed as the 7-2 favorite despite drawing gate 16 at Wednesday's post-position draw but began to drift in the betting as the race approached.
Only a late surge of money saw him retain his place as outright favorite, at odds of 5-1, just a point ahead of Revolutionary, the Louisiana Derby winner.
"Obviously it's a huge, huge thrill for me," said McGaughey, a 62-year-old trainer who was born and raised in Kentucky.
"It's a race I've always wanted to win, a race I've always wanted to compete in if I thought I had the right horse, and finally today we had the right horse."
McGaughey had already won most of America's biggest races and been inducted into the Hall of Fame almost a decade ago, but the Kentucky Derby had always eluded him.
"I don't know what it will be like tomorrow morning when I pinch myself and figure all this out," he said.
"The way it's going to change my life is I'm not going to have to worry about it anymore, because I've worried about it for a while."
Rosario, a 28-year-old jockey born in Dominican Republic, patiently held his mount back in the early stages of the race, which was held on a track drenched by hours of heavy rain.
He resisted the temptation to look for a shortcut on the fence, opting instead to keep Orb on the outside, where he continued to make ground.
It was a tactic that paid off when the early leaders, who had set off at a cracking pace, started to fade, Orb was perfectly positioned to make his charge.
Orb swept past a dozen rivals on the back straight and was within sight of the leaders round the final turn. As the crowd of 151,616 let out a deafening roar, he made his move, charging down the center of the track and holding off all his challengers.
Golden Soul, a 31-1 chance ridden by Robby Albarado, also came from behind to take second for his owner, Canadian diamond magnate Charles Fipke.
Revolutionary was one of five runners in the race trained by Todd Pletcher. He was ridden by Calvin Borel, a three-time winner of the Kentucky Derby, who stuck to the fence but could catch the winner.
The lone international entrant, Irish galloper Lines of Battle, finished seventh, while Goldencents (7-1), prepared by last year's winning trainer Doug O'Neill, weakened badly to cross the line 17th under jockey Kevin Krigger, who was bidding to become the first African-American jockey to win the race in more than a century.
In keeping with tradition, the race was preceded by the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home" as a huge crowd packed into the Louisville course, dressed in an array of outfits and sipping on mint julep drinks.
But no sooner had Orb, who paid $12.80 for a $2 bet, been draped in the traditional garland of red roses, than talk turned to the future.
The bay colt now has the chance to win the coveted Triple Crown. The second leg, the Preakness Stakes, will be held at Maryland later this month followed by the Belmont Stakes, in New York in June.
The last horse to win the Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978.
"I still think there's something more there, I don't think we've bottomed out," said McGaughey. "I think we've got our hands on a pretty special horse."

Man Pays Insurance Money In Quarters
This makes a lot of cents. A man in Missouri paid $500,000 in insurance money using tons of quarters! Roger Herrin was apparently protesting a court order that forced him to repay the insurance money he had received for the death of his son. Herrin's teenage son was the only one of four passengers who died in a car crash in 2001, and because of that, Herrin had received the bulk of the $800,000 insurance settlement. The other crash victims and their families contested this, and won. So to stick it to the court, Herrin paid approximately a third of the money back in quarters – a haul that weighed nearly four tons and caused a whole lot of inconvenience. But it could have been worse. "I really wanted to do it in pennies," Herrin said.

Ruf's error was just one of four errors - Ben Revere, Erik Kratz and Michael Martinez - made the other three. The errors led to two unearned runs.
On the plus side, Chase Utley drove in a run with an RBI single in his first spring at-bat since 2009 as the Phillies jumped out to an early 2-0 lead against Astros starter Lucas Harrell.
The day started perfectly for the Phillies when Ben Revere singled and stole a base before advancing to third on a ground ball by Michael Young. Utley's single then brought Revere home with the first run of the spring.
Yuniesky Betancourt went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Phillies, while Pete Orr hit the first home run of the spring to drive in the Phillies other run.
Cole Hamels faced just seven hitters over two innings and was the only Phillies pitcher not to give up a run. B.J. Rosenberg was touched for two earned runs in two innings, Zach Miner allowed one earned run in one inning of work. Jeremy Horst and Justin De Fratus each pitched two innings, with Horst allowing one earned run and De Fratus allowing two.
Former Phillies prospect Jared Cosart, who was dealt to Houston in the deal that brought Hunter Pence to the Phillies, threw two perfect innings against his former teammates. Another player who went to Houston in that deal, pitcher Josh Zeid, threw one inning, allowing one hit and no runs.
The Phillies are now 0-1 on the spring and will have Roy Halladay on the mound to start game two of the spring on Sunday when the Phillies travel to Lakeland, Florida to face the Detroit Tigers.

Can anyone identify this bayonet?
Overall length: 17.75"
Blade length: 11.50"
Handle length: 5.25"
Blade width:.875"
Blade thickness:.25"
Handle: Wood scales epoxied to skeletonized metal tang
Sheath: Olive green paint on metal
I would like to know the type (i.e. m1942), era, and any other relevant info.
if you had a complete set of parts, all matching, then the rifle is worth more to a collector.
Unfortunately, frequently the bolts were removed and locked up to render the rifles useless, and they didn't always make it back into the right one. Besides the value, there sometimes can be head-space issues.
Check This Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=250986871579
u should bring it to a knife maker or weapons historian
As Buff previously mentioned, your bayonet may have been manufactured in Spain, Austria, Italy or Germany. Furthermore, many countries used Mauser rifles during W.W.1. For instance, my bayonet was Turkish issue.
Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Turkey, Sweden are a few of many countries that used the Mauser rifle and bayonet.

use of the Swiss clock, use of photography, use of ....... you name it.
WOW!!!, Just wow!!!, First it was reported and confirmed that a "Swiss" company that makes Vibrators wrote a letter to Apple upset about the fact that Apple stoled the name of one of the companies Vibrator named "Siri" and not only they stole the name but the colors as well because that vibrator was purple. Then a couple of days ago Modmyi reported yet another "Swiss" company named "Swiss Federal Railways" were having a meeting with Apple because the clock used in iOS 6 on the iPad was very "similar" to their clock.
(iOS 6's iPad clock design looks very similar to the clock design owned by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). The problem being that Apple never asked to use the design. In late September, the SBB made headlines all over the Internet stating that they would be getting together with Apple to discuss the matters.
Oh and by the way i love this part right here:
"Today, the SBB announces that both parties have agreed to licensing terms one-on-one and agreements have been signed. Apple will now pay the SBB to use the design" LMFAO!!!!
Ok and if that still wasen't enough now Apple again copies the image from a "SWISS" photographer ??? Are you serious ??? ok so you mean to tell me that the "Most Creative" company in the world can't come up with an original image created by them ? they can't create their own clock design ? they can't even create a "Virtual Assistant" with an original name and colors ? they had to go steal the complete full theme from a freaking vibrator in Switzerland ??? And the funny part is that its always Switzerland. Apple really admires and just adores those Swiss people. Wow i guess they wanna be just like them huh ?, I use to admire Apple alot but now with all of this i have notice that they just shine with other peoples light and then make it look like they came up with it. And not to mention all these stupid lawsuits over pointless issues like if they were so "Original" yea right!!!! I know im about to get alot of heat from all you "Apple Die-Hard Fan Boys" but what-ever, Everything that i just said are legit facts. Shame on them and shame on anyone who oppose to this because that only shows how loyal you are to a company that has to steal material from overseas.
Apparently Apple have started to sue people for dying because Steve Jobs did it first.
Gloxin......You have issues guy...Like, serious issues. You are obviously in a manic state. For your own sake you need to calm down, and get a grip. Once calm, read the nonsense you just wrote, and apologize to yourself and your family for who you are......You just claimed that Apple "confirmed" that they stole Siri from a Swedish Dildo....Ya...u did.
well they need money ........ ok i will suit apple for the dock connectors that i buy but now i can't used them because they dont fit.... you will see APPLE.....
LMFAO ok i did get a lil bit carry away but you get the picture and as far as the "Siri Dildo" goes , ok Apple has not confirmed it but who would ever confirm such a thing ? They have to feel very embarass and this open letter from LELO creators of Siri sent to Apple last year flew all over the internet and Apple up to this day has still not mention anything regarding this matter because this will make them look like complete fools.

Mansfield Frazier on the coming blow to race relations in the U.S.
"He's a career politician," said Bonnie Oleksa, an organizer for the Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party.
Mansfield Frazier has some suggestions for how the likely Republican nominee can get some color in his campaign.
Mansfield Frazier, who has done time, on why flogging may be more humane than a decrepit prison.
I was driving to a job in Mansfield, Massachusetts, that was making me slightly crazy.
As she stood by him Mrs. Mansfield felt strangely, almost cruelly, young.
Scott took the idea home with him, as Professor Mansfield had advised him.
Mansfield had been killed and Crawford wounded, on the 17th, at Antietam.
Mansfield owed nothing to his noble relations, who were poor and uninfluential.
Max Elliot crossed the room and sat down on the sofa by Mrs. Mansfield.

Miller Electric Donates Over $1 Million in Robotic Welding Equipment to Technology Program
In addition to the donation, Miller worked closely with the university's staff to offer training to instructors on the new equipment.
Miller Electric recently donated over $1 million in robotic welding equipment. The donation of three complete robotic welding cells gives students in the Welding Engineering Technology program at Ferris State University the opportunity to work with up-to-date technologies and gain hands-on experience to take into the workforce.
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (Appleton, WI) has donated over $1 million in robotic welding equipment and simulation software to the Welding Engineering Technology program at Ferris State University (FSU) in Big Rapids, Mich. The equipment includes three complete robotic welding cells that Miller and members of the program worked together to design modular bases for and install in the welding lab. Installation was completed in August.
The robotic welding cell donations mark the beginning of a rotating donation program organized by Miller and Ferris State. Moving forward, every three years Miller will update the robotic welding cells with new equipment, ensuring students are able to stay on the leading edge of these technologies and gain the hands-on experience needed to be competitive as they enter the workforce. In addition to the donation, Miller worked closely with the university's staff to offer training to instructors on the new equipment.
"We are so pleased to be involved with this partnership," said Kevin Summers, Miller automation specialist. "Education is critical to the future of manufacturing in our country. If we can get students interested in the industry and help them recognize that manufacturing is alive and flourishing, we can help them build a career and a future. We believe donations like this help inspire and motivate students toward that goal."
"This donation was the result of a long term partnership between our organizations — 20-plus years — and it supports the vision we have for our program and our students," added Jeff Hardesty, associate professor and program coordinator at Ferris State. "By introducing our students to state-of-the-art robotic hardware and simulation software, we are giving them a skill set that sets them apart in the industry and makes them that much more attractive to future employers."
According to Hardesty, the university offers a semester course on robotic welding for second year students in the two-year Welding Technology program, which results in an associate degree. They also offer a more advanced yearlong automation course sequence to third-year students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Welding Engineering Technology program. This advanced class offers student the background to specify, purchase and implement automation for a variety of industries.

2013 NFL Divisional Round Playoffs Practice Betting
Going into the Divisional Round of the 2013 NFL Playoffs, I'm down $2.20 in fictitious bets. I'm going to try to turn things around this week after some misses in the Wild Card round.
Here's the NFL Odds this week when I checked in:
The Seattle Seahawks were favored by 7.5 over the New Orleans Saints.
The New England Patriots were favored by 7.5 over the Indianapolis Colts.
The San Francisco 49ers were favored by 2.5 over the Carolina Panthers.
The Denver Broncos were favored by 9.5 over the San Diego Chargers.
I'd play three parlays this week ($10 each):
3-leg: Over 46 NO-SEA, Broncos and Patriots
4-leg: Saints, Patriots, Panthers, Broncos
5-leg: Saints, Patriots, Panthers, Broncos, Over 46 NO-SEA
I'd also take the following odds straight-up ($20 each):
Saints, Over 46 NO-SEA, Patriots
To sum up:
I'd be betting $90 to win up to $414.62 this week.

All-Star Superman hits stores today. Early reviews are quite good, so you'll want to make sure you don't miss out! The film is based on the All-Star Superman Comic Book by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, sees Superman in his last days after being riddled with radiation while rescuing a mission to the sun.
You can buy this movie as a Single-Disc or Two-Disc DVD or, for a much better investment, Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Combo Pack.
There is a small army of celebrity voices involved in this movie, including James Denton (Desperate Housewives) as Superman, Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) as Lois Lane, Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) as Lex Luthor, Ed Asner (Up) as Perry White, Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Ma Kent, Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds) as Jimmy Olsen, and Linda Cardellini (ER) as Nasty. Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy), Catherine Cavadini (The Powerpuff Girls), Finola Hughes (General Hospital), Alexis Denisof (Angel), Obba Babatunde (That Thing You Do!), Michael Gough (Batman) and John DiMaggio (Futurama) also lend their voices to the project.
Here is an interesting Mania.com article that takes a look at the voice actors that have taken on the role of the Man of Steel over the years. By the end of the article they determine who was the best Superman. Who takes top spot? You'll have to read the article!
Incidentally, the article fails to mention Beau Weaver who played Superman in the 1988 Ruby/Spears animated series.

A Week in Limbo, Day 4: On second thought . . .
The proverbial laundry list of things I want to do while I have this ZaReason Limbo 5440 is somewhat long, but alas, my time is limited. Originally I had planned to run a couple of other distros on the machine before returning it, but I'm currently hung up doing other things.
For example, I got hung up on the RAID-5 array, for starters. Not ever having more than one hard drive in one machine at one time left me with a significant amount of curiosity about how this works: Google, research, tweak. Neat stuff. Then there's audio/video items since, now that I have four processors instead of the one I'm usually stuck with, I now can probably do a lot of really neat things.
More googling, more research, more tweaking. Check the clock. I have a little more time: Google, research, and tweak some more.
[Holiday shopping? Oh, right. I knew I was forgetting something.]
So rather than leave Fedora and go off to other distros, we're going to stick around in the Red Hat neighborhood, running programs and reporting back for the next three days. We have audio coming up, and some interesting discoveries to report.
But for now, it's time for holiday shopping (doesn't everyone start on the 22nd?).
Tomorrow we'll have A Week in Limbo, Day 5: Can you hear me now?
"A Week in Limbo Series" (for those of you keeping track)
A Week in Limbo, Day 0
A Week in Limbo, Day 1: Under the hood

Dear all, first let me say congrats on a excellent new version with exceptional good looking interface, by far my favorite distro so far.
I seem to have issues with either java, mysql or armitage.
When running mysql start i get this message
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I can start armitage initial, but cannot start armitage itself by connect.
The message that pops up are
java.net.SocketTimeoutException:Read time out
when trying to start msf this error occurs
java.io.IOException: authentication error
i have tried login root / password toor
also tried login msf / password toor
so there is almost certain something that i have done wrong, not a bug in general i hope, could then anybody guide me in the right direction?
kind regards

TWO rules to being a successful artist:
1. dont give out your adivce
TWO rules to being a successful artist:
1. dont give out your adivce
i'll be faymos one day;
Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.
Honestly the best advice i got was none, do as you want to do not what others want :/
This is some advice I've thought of giving, and it seems pretty sound;
Take your signature, or handwriting. Draw some basic letters(for beginners here I guess)... if you find yourself naturally more prone to straighter lines, sharper angles, work that into your style... if your more into curves, work with that..
I'd be interested to know whats though of this advice...
"draw like a madman"
and im paraphrasing this one but " like a diary is to an adolescent girl, thats what your sketchbook is to you. but it's gotta be one of those really torn emotional adolescent girls
My best tip's are just to draw some random line's and you'll eventaully make your own character
Keep it simple was/is one I heard a lot. Not so sure I took that advice. I found for drawing it helped to do a lot of handstyles then outline with a thin pen to practice cleanliness, and adding 3Ds. Sometimes I think maybe it'd be good to suggest 'if you're gonna bite, bite locally', thinking preservation of a city/regional style is a good thing in this era of global communication... yet I'm sure most would say the better advice is DON'T BITE.
I've always admired a well-rounded writer, you know?, dope handstyles, nice characters, solid throwups and tight pieces, good with the blackbook & the cans (I see the Brazilians and I read in an All-Nation article Peruvians, for two, are quite skilled with bucket paint also)... I can't say I'm one of these myself, but some more advice would be to [HOLY SHIT! my box got unplugged and my post was Auto-Saved~] develop all the skill you can at every aspect of this. Not limiting one's-self to one word/4-5 letters, trying all 36 characters (haven't tried much Arabic yet) has been nice for this writer.
I'd say 30 minutes a day
And the longest I have ever drawn for was 2 hours I'd also recommend listing to music while you draw what ever genre you prefer
"you arent good unless you can draw a PERFECT star" is what i tell all my learnies
just something for hype
best advice i got was to start again! go simple! go light so u can change parts you dont like or add what you want in. it deffo made a differance been drawin nonstop since then lol had more ideas, its easier to add something in and remove if it dont look right than to remove a whole load of shit!!
take it from the chumps, graffiti is for champs!!
Go slow and erase every single line you dont like as soon as you notice its bad, focusing on making every line exactly what you picture in your head helps
it dont matter mabye he want to get sothin with the point chill out i aint hurting no one that hes posting and making threads.
From personal experience, no matter how much people say it. Practice does make perfect.
Keep your own style and just practice!
Check out my channel above. More videos coming!
i got this as tattoo advice not drawing advice but it applies in both.. dont stop a line till the end.. and if you do start at the other end ( where you should have stopped) and overlap where you originally stoped just a little bit.. not really too big of a deal if you dont do fallow it as a rule but it helps me alot
Take your time and notice any mistakes (things you don't like or don't seem right) focus on what you're looking for in your drawings. Also, practice makes perfect.
"I Remain King × Free The Realest"
The most helpful advice I ever got was "Sit down, shut up, and turn on some goddamn music. You're never going to get better unless you try, and tomorrow you'll still be shit, but you'll be better then you are today."
Well it sounds weird but get your smartphone, go on camera, and take a pic of your drawing then see it on your phone...the pic will be smaller so your mistakes will be more visible

I've been concerned my whole pregnancy that she would hurt the baby I'm having. Either because she thinks Annie (my baby) is a doll, or because she's jealous that now she has to compete with this baby for her dad's time when she never really had to before due to how little he gets to see his son. I haven't talked to my fiancé about this, because I don't want him to think I'm a horrible person. It's just that she has a lot of jealousy already, and the baby isn't even born. So, I've been secretly concerned my whole pregnancy that she would end up hurting my daughter.
So, this morning, my step daughter told my fiancé that she had to tell him something but he had to promise not to tell anyone, especially not her mother. She told him that she hears monsters that tell her to do things. There are monsters that tell her to do good things, and monsters that tell her to do bad things. When he asked her what kind of things, she said that the bad monsters have told her to kick her Nana's cat before, and that she doesn't like the bad monsters.
My fiancé is concerned, but he thinks she could be fabricating the story for attention. It's also October, so it could be why she's saying "monsters" are telling her to do things, if it IS just for attention.
However, her biological maternal grandmother (who she doesnt get to see very often) is schizophrenic and hears voices.
I don't plan to treat her any differently, but it she ISN'T lying, I want her to have the help she needs so that she can function and have a happy, healthy life.
My question is, does anyone know anyone who has gone through something like this, or perhaps had their own child make up a very plausible, but untrue story for attention? Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you much.

NFL Prospect Comes Out
Missouri (AP) - Missouri All-American Michael Sam says he is gay, and the defensive end could become the first openly homosexual player in the NFL.
In interviews with ESPN, The New York Times and Outsports, Sam says he came out to his teammates and coaches at Missouri in August.
Sam says: "I am an openly, proud gay man."
The 255-pound Sam participated in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., last month after leading the SEC in sacks (11.5) and tackles for loss (19), and he is projected to be a mid-round NFL draft pick.
He says: "It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be ... I want to be a football player in the NFL."
The NFL issued the following statement:
"We admire Michael Sam's honesty and courage. Michael is a football player. Any player with ability and determination can succeed in the NFL. We look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014."

On Thursday, January 8, Costa Rica suffered its worst earthquake in over 150 years. Although accounts differ, about 30 people have been reported killed in the 6.2 quake, and hundreds more remain missing. Many of those killed were children trapped in mudslides. Several parts of the country have been devastated by the quake and its subsequent aftershocks. The beautiful La Paz waterfalls, a very popular tourist attraction, were particularly affected by the earthquake; much of the hotel collapsed, and visitors had to be evacuated from the area by helicopter. Other nearby hotels and tourist attractions also suffered damage and cancelled all reservations. The epicenter of the earthquake was near the Poás Volcano, some distance from San José, so the capital itself escaped some of the more severe destruction.
As devastating as this earthquake was, tremors and small seismic shifts are common in Costa Rica, because the country lies on a fault line. Costa Rica experiences a surprising number of small tremors in an average year. These tremors often occur in clusters, a sequence of several tremors happening one after another. Some tremors are strong enough to rattle windows, knock vases from shelves and send people running to seek shelter in doorways. Most, however, are almost too slight to feel.
Costa Rica's presence on the fault line also creates some of the country's most beautiful geological features. The mountain ranges that run through Costa Rica burst up from the fault line thousands of years ago, due to shifting of the two tectonic plates beneath the country. Costa Rica's many scenic volcanoes also point to its underlying geological activity. One of these volcanoes, Arenal, has been active for the past several years. Geothermal heat warms the beautiful hot springs at the volcano's base. Since Thursday's earthquake, geologists are closely monitoring the Poás Volcano for signs of renewed activity, although most argue that the earthquake did not cause the volcanic activity.
Rescue workers are now sifting through rubble in order to rescue those trapped by the earthquake. Several foreign countries have sent volunteers to help in the rescue effort, and the Red Cross, the National Bank and Bank of Costa Rica are accepting donations for the victims.
We send our condolences to the friends and families of the earthquake's victims.

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 7, 2010)
The metaphor of those who were charged with the Torah but then have not upheld it, is that of a donkey loaded with weighty tomes. How evil is the metaphor of those who deny Allah's Signs! Allah does not guide wrongdoing people. (Surat Al-Jumu'a, 5)
There indeed are some scholars with a lot of knowledge of the verses. They have learned the Qur'an and the hadiths off by heart, but there is nothing about them that can be instrumental in salvation, no love, and no affection. They have no respect for the Qur'an. They are obviously weak in faith. There are professors in chairs of Qur'anic studies in Russia, they know the Qur'an by heart but are atheist. Reading the Qur'an is not, as people imagine, a direct path to salvation. You need signs leading to faith, miracles of the Qur'an that will cause people to love Allah, the kind of language that will show people the true miracles of our Prophet (saas). Otherwise, the Qur'an can lead some people into depravity; it would not be as they expect it to be. There is a verse about it, Allah reveals the following" What has been sent down to you from your Lord increases many of them in insolence and unbelief " It can be instrumental in their denial. That is why one needs a rational, warm way of talking about things, one based on signs leading to faith.

Message from Mom
2 comments:
Hi Midge, I went through the same at Christmas in 2008 so I know that feeling as an only child quite well. Very sweet post. Good that you kept that calendar page.
- Carmen Johnson said...
I lost my mother the day after Christmas - 8 years ago this year. She had been diagnosed with her second bout of lung cancer on the 22nd and died just four short days later. She had a great Christmas eve which is when we opened presents and she wanted to talk late into the night...after three hours of sleep the night before, I was dead on my feet. I think Mom knew the end was near. She really wasn't all that aware of things on Christmas Day and passed away the next day. I think she was determined to do it the way she wanted to. I miss her terribly - but I use Christmas to celebrate her - because she loved Christmas so much. All the ornaments, knickknacks, etc remind me of her in a good way.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Red Ambush Hooded Sweatshirt
You don't really need to wear sweatshirts at night in Los Angeles, but if you are in Boston watching the games you will for sure need this red Angels hoodie!
The theme behind the Cavs' playoff series this year. One team, one goal.
Well, since the Eagles are out to the Cardinals, I'm throwing my hat in the bag for the Steelers. If you're a big Steelers fan, you gotta get this for the big game!
For the more eco-minded Eagles fan, this tee shirt is made from 69% post-consumer recycled cotton.
BELIEVE IN GREEN. Seriously, cheer on the Eagles this playoffs season wearing this shirt. Because really, isn't that slogan just so smart?
The ultimate fan can rock out in this Eagles fan helmet. You'll be the hit of the party in this one. Actually, it'll depend on how much beer you bring, but hey, this could help too I guess.
Ladies, you can wear this hat to match your ugly satin Super Bowl jacket. You know you want to.
What woman doesn't want to wear an ugly satin Super Bowl jacket on game day? I can't believe this exists. It's just too ugly to ignore.
I personally will be enjoying the game in the comfort of Eagles gear on game day... EVEN IF THEY DON'T MAKE IT.
If you're not rooting for a certain team, you're still gonna need something to wear.
A simple dodgers t-shirt that is gray and has dodgers across the chest in blue.Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com
A dark gray Angels hoodie to keep you warm on the already warm Los Angeles nights!!Tags: baseballs, los angeles, Clothes, hoodies, sweatshirts, angels, playoffs, anaheimAdded 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

Love It or Hate It? Emma Stone's Big Back Bow at 'The Croods' Premiere
Emma Stone wore a giant bow on her back to the New York premiere of 'The Croods.' Fashionable red carpet style, or mutant alien threat? Weigh in here!
-Lucia Peters
Dreamworks' newest animated flick, The Croods, had its premiere in New York on Sunday night, and yowza! Did the stars come out to play or what? Most of the celebs who hit the red carpet did so not in floor-length satin, but in shorter, more playful getups—including this black and white one from Emma Stone. Now don't get me wrong; most of the time, I love me some Emma Stone (and some of her stylist, too). This time, however, I'm not so sure—because it looks like her back is being attacked by a GIANT MUTANT BOW. What do you think, Bettys? Love it or hate it?
Some details: Emma went for head-to-toe Lanvin, from her black and white dress right down to the tips of her nude pumps. A golden (and seasonally appropriate) shamrock necklace added a little bling, and a slightly messy updo, a smoky eye, and a pink nude lip finished off the look. Here it is from the front:
Read Score Alice Englert's Sunny Paris Fashion Week Look for Less
I actually quite like it from this angle. The two-tone dress looks both chic and comfortable, I love the pockets, and the whole ensemble is perfect for the premiere of what's probably a laugh-out-loud funny animated film. But the back! My goodness, Emma! What IS this? Why the huge, enormous bow? Are you going for a modernized kimono effect? Or is that bow actually a parasitic alien that has latched itself onto your spine so it can begin its slow and stylish takeover of the Earth, one celebrity at a time? Do you need rescuing? Just signal us with your eyes and we'll get right on it!
I'm torn. How about you, Bettys? Love it or hate it? In the event that you love it, you might be able to get a similar look with the wallet-friendly ensemble that we've put together below—minus the bow (some things just shouldn't be replicated). Check it out:
Black 2-in-1 peplum dress ($49, dorothyperkins.com), Classiques Entier 'Regan' pump ($109.95, shop.nordstrom.com), Unwritten open clover pendant ($55, macys.com), CARGO Essential Eye palette in Smoky Grey ($34, beauty.com), NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Beautiful ($5.50, shop.nordstrom.com).

To combat piracy, your mission is clear -- provide a better service than pirates.
Competent, efficient, fast service will trump freebies for all but the most stingy of consumers, and that is why Sony practically deserves to be ripped off with its archaic way of doing business.
Using the PS Vita as the most recent example, Jimquisition proper goes off on one this week.
40 Min installing on a handheld? Fail.. Didn't want one anyway. It will be outdated by 2014.
And it took well under 12 Mins to install.
Where are your Gods now? Where are your Gods now?
~throws a harpoon through your heart.
Faster than the PS3.
It's the best and most advanced dedicated gaming handheld on the market.
Saying that the Vita is "the most advanced dedicated gaming handheld on the market" is like saying that the X360 is "the most advanced dedicated gaming home console on the market".
What's the point of saying that when there is non-gaming dedicated hardware with far more advanced specs (any high end PC from 2007 in the case of the 360, and latest gen high end ARM based tablets/phones in case of the Vita). It doesn't have to be gaming dedicated as long as it's gaming capable.
"To combat piracy, your mission is clear -- provide a better service than pirates.
Competent, efficient, fast service will trump freebies for all but the most stingy of consumers, and that is why Sony practically deserves to be ripped off with its archaic way of doing business."
I don't understand the logic he uses. There is no way sony can offer a better service than pirates... because in order for them to do that, they would have to pay us to play there games
Yes, there firmware updates drag on for a while, which is why I go on my computer while its doing so... but to say that a business model is a means to justify piracy is ridiculous
Sony is a buisiness...they want to make money... they can not compete for free. The PSP had huge piracy rate... the reason people buy PSP's still is because they can crack it
If I had a huge piracy rate on my previous system... I'd take action to. Problem is the people who pay are the ones suffering, and the pirates get of scot free. This is also apparent on PC with DRM, etc
Also... If apple has such a great business model.. why do people jailbreak there Iphone/Ipad/etc? Because it is free... regardless of the download speeds... free is better than paying. No business can compete with pirates. Also... how large are Ipod games compared to vita games? About 60 times the size. I don't know any console that can download a 600 mb game in 10 minutes.. unless you have a good internet connection.
So no Jim Sterling... sony's business model is not an excuse to pirate games... a pirate needs no reason other than "its free" and no business can compete with that
And seriously.. he's british? I though he was
american... his voice doesn't fit his body
When you buy a product, you buy it for its plus points not the minus points. This is the logic people fail to grasp. Depending on who you are, what you like and how you will use the product and services.
I have a Vita. I bought it handheld gaming, browsing, messaging psn contacts and for the other apps which were promised for after its release such as facebook, youtube and skype.
Granted downloading games directly from the store may take a while if it is a large file size, but thats stating the obvious. Those who have commonsense and a PS3 can easily transfer that way and a lot quicker. I transfered MGS, RE1, all 3 crash bandicoots, cool borders and destruction derby in about 15minutes.
The complaints made are not complaints as much as they are "bitching and moaning." Was there an article like this released for how Siri failed to deliver outside of the EU for over a year on an over priced product?
Was there articles made about the crappy 3D on the 3DS considering that is a core feature of the device and so much so it is called the "3DS?"
Apple games are tiny in file size compared to full Vita games. How can he compare 2 things that are nothing a like?!
In this day and age, people will go out of their way to winge and moan about things for the sake of it and completely disregard the product, its offerings and the many people who purchased it and are happy with it.
I have a dedicated handheld that plays PS Vita games, PS One games and PS Minis. Most of the Minis and PSOne games were given free via PS+. as a gamer, I couldnt ask for anything more!
I think Anon should hack his site for being an ass and complaining over his lazyness and incompetence.
I'm not gonna lie. That N4G part made me giggle.
But I do not want to put that kind of production value in a N4G comment. (I will leave that to the story submitted.)
Loved his taste in music tho.... Drill Queen and that epic orchestral score
edit: oh it FF IX
I can't agree with him. PSVITA's service is pretty good, PS Store is nice and convenient, downloads are fast, messaging app is great too etc.
Comparing PS Store to App Store is nonsense tho. App Store is great at its simplicity and convenience with iGames, just as VITA's PS Store is with VITA games. But are there any Mac classics on App Store? Maybe PS1 games? Probably no (a few PS1 games at best), because bureaucracy is big, fat and ugly b*tch that ruins life for gamers.
And ATM there are a lot of PS1 games on PSVITA's EU PS Store. I didn't count it, but I think it's 100 or nearly that. How many N64 games are on 3DS eShop? I don't know myself, but I believe there aren't many, are there?
And there you go proving his point, seeking to deflect onto the 3DS because it doesn't have many N64 games on it's service when that was never announced as being a feature. Sony advertised this ability, but have gone about getting it going in the worst way possible as highlighted in the video.
Users don't care about games being more complex on handhelds like Vita, they want their games and they want them quickly and efficiently....not being forced to jump through hoops at every turn and being inconvenienced by draconian security measures which will ultimately hurt no-one but the users who actually pay for the software.
Piracy is inevitable, discourage it by offering gamers a good service with minimal hassle and stop making them feel as if they're being punished in advance for the actions of a minority of pirates.
Stop ignoring the issues because someone dared to criticise a corporation for it's idiocy.
But you don't have to go through all this painful method using PS3. It's not meant to be installed this way, but rather a trick allowed by PS3-PSVITA file sharing.
You can and you should wait till it will be added to PSVITA's store if you don't want to use this trick. You think that Sony just holds PSOne classics off just to tease you, but the fact is that licensing sh** is the thing that keeps them away from release.
Edit: And I mentioned N64 just to remind that the only competitor isn't any better.
And I don't know about what ads you talk about, because I haven't seen a single PSVITA ad or a trailer that mentions PSOne classics. It was announced at E3 2012 and Sony pretty much brought the compatibility at the end of the summer.
So if the 3DS is worse, why didn't he talk about it instead. Rather than focusing on trivial BS such as "it wasn't announced that way".
It's not just N64 games, it's NES, SNES, AND N64. He actually proves a good point I never looked at. Since Nintendo is just the god of all things gaming, and can do no wrong it's just allowed. But god forbid Sony *doesn't* provide things nobody else does! And when they do, it's not enough even though their direct competitor is doing worse.
Same thing happened with the 360 against the PS3 (for years now), and the same thing happens with handhelds.
I'll say it again (like I've been saying for years of reading stupid media like this), Sony will never catch a break.
It's a sad day when the only publisher looking out for the core gamers gets destroyed by "gamers", meanwhile the other guys focusing on how many friends you can talk to at once, and games meant for children are getting high-fives.
Also, that's a horrible reason to pirate games. They're selling games that are almost of PS3/Xbox360 quality for $20-$40, and they still "deserve" to be pirated? That's not why people pirate. They do it because they never planned on spending the money in the first place.
Maybe he's a Nintendoid. Speaking out against Nintendo is a fast way to lose popularity anyway. The Big N could sell a Virus that frags HDDs and tell everybody that it's a virus that frags HDDs and people would pay for it, have to buy a new HDD, and then would buy the HDD fragging Virus again.
Hating on Sony and the Vita is popular right now. Just like everybody hating on FFVII.
'And ATM there are a lot of PS1 games on PSVITA's EU PS Store. I didn't count it, but I think it's 100 or nearly that.'
It was around 130 games
I am all up for people spouting their opinions but this video was hard to watch because of the unnecessary use of bad language.
F*** off!! ;)
Just kidding, but really, time to get some less sensitive ears and listen to the opinion rather than faking being shocked because of a few curse words.
I am not shocked but his opinion just comes across as a very immature, aggressive rant than a well though-out piece of journalism. Just unnecessary
That is because at the end of the day he is an adolescent. His use of language occurs a result of the misguided notion such behavior signifies maturity. Nothing is further from the truth.
Despite his position and supposed work commenting ON the industry, he has yet to develop any sense of insight, let alone self confidence.
At some point we have to write such persons off. I am not saying I never learned anything from the children in my family, but the type of intuitive wonderment of which kids remind us is a far cry from the juvenile delinquent posturing by this person.
You really are a piece of work morganfail. If you bothered to actually listen to any of Jim's arguments they are always backed up with logical and justifiable reasoning. Enough of your straw man nonsense, even if you grant that he is immature for using cuss words it doesn't invalidate the argument at hand.
unlike Morgan, jim really is a piece of work, he's self centered, arrogant and worse of all people really buy into that crap he's spewing, maybe its the fact he does not run such a large company as Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft, or Maybe it's his statement that Sony deserved to get pirated, that makes him such a tool? Any and i use this term with a very larger freaking pile of salt "game journalist" that say's any of these companies be that Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft deserve as he put it "pirated" than How much of being a game journalist can you really call him?
once again his very large Pie whole of a mouth speak's , before his brain tell's him to shut the hell up!
joke video or not calling for piracy against a game company , an him being once again i term this with a high mountain of salt "game journalist" just gave other's in his profession a black mark for anyone even close to this guy.
why would any game company give him any software to review?
That's been Jim's satirical style for years. If it's not your thing it's not your thing, but he actually is very mature with his arguments.
I do agree really.
I liked the arguments and it has brought to my attention some issues which I did not know about, since I don't own a Vita.
But his intonation and choice of words makes his argument seem juvenile, which it isn't...
This is all just my opinion, but I live in a house with many people and by listening to this video the terrible language catches me off guard, people around me hear it and I feel embarrassed because it seems like I'm watching juvenile, childish fodder.
I guess if this is what the readers of escapist magazine find funny....
Jim who?! when he started speaking I felt very embarrassed to find out he was english.
We are all Gods children. Which is pretty sweet when you think about it, because that means Jesus is our cool brother who can do tricks and stuff.
How you managed to incorporate God and this Jim guy in the same breath I do not know.
Also means everyone is inbred.
Right on brother!
So people should go out and pirate Sony games because Jim Sterling has a problem with Sony?
This guy is the biggest piece of trash in the industry. There are no excuses for piracy. He wants a reason to use his Vita? No he doesn't because he just told us that it and the PS3 should be pirated to hell.
Even if part of what he's say is true, encouraging piracy should get him banned from every site he trolls on.
And I actually like the Escapistmagazing.com. Moviebob and Yahzee are awesome. This guy is a fat piece of garbage.
Piracy is going nowhere.
For as long as there are cheapskates who think they're entitled to something for free.
Such a long rant just to say "Sony, please give us more content".
Still, it ruffled the feathers of people here so I guess Jimbo can sit back and enjoy a tray of celebration fudge. His work did what he wanted it to and gained the attention of gamers.
Who'd have thought?
Hit seeking tool. Always was, always will be
No one is begging for piracy. Since when do pirates need a reason to pirate something? I am not sure what is this belief that the people who break these things open and do all sorts or things that are not supposed to be done in the first place that the company deserves or is begging for piracy.People always act as if the pirates are some gallant people with honorable intentions.People are always so giving when it's someone else's property they are are using
Piracy sometimes is for convinience, I used R4 and PSP memory sticks because it was more convinient than using carts and UMD.
One thing I want to clarify though is that every game I downloaded I had already purchased/pre-ordered the proper retail version.
I know it is wrong, but it was easier than carrying a bunch of UMD's around with me.
Sony now provides digital downloads for selected PSP games and every VITA game is available online. So there is no more reason to pirate Sony devices.
"better service?"
You will fan-translate Japaneses RPG?
So called 'article' begging for attention
It's certainly amusing that Sony cannot use piracy as excuse for crappy Vita software sales.Last gen it was--piracy killed PSP software bu bu bu...


text: First off I can't stand this guy, one of the most overrated players I have ever seen both on and off the court. He may have talent on offensive but he such a liability everywhere else and worst of all he is the biggest baby ever. I honestly do not think he will ever get a ring despite how the Knicks are doing now. With that out of the way does anyone know any of the details of the confrontation he got into with Kevin Garnet? Also I think he is next in line to be the athlete in the spot light. What I mean by that, is that he is going to get the same kind of treatment that Lebron James (until he won his ring) and Tony Romo get from the media and the general public. Does anyone else see this happening?


text: After the operation, the patient will spend 5 - 10 days in the hospital, the first 1 - 3 days in an intensive-care unit (ICU). Chest tubes will be in place for the first 2 to 3 days to drain any residual blood and fluid from around the heart. Heart functions will be monitored. The full benefits from the operation may not be clear until 3 - 6 months after surgery. Sexual activity may be resumed 3 - 4 weeks after surgery. All activities that do not cause fatigue are permitted, but the patient must not strain the healing chest bone (sternum).

Black Sabbath-inspired maze to be featured at Halloween Horror Nights
Listen to Black Sabbath on iHeartRadio
Black Sabbath will be adding some extra fright to Halloween. The rockers are lending inspiration to a new maze at Universal Studios Hollywood's "Halloween Horror Nights."
"Black Sabbath: 13 3D" will include characters, scenes, music, videos, and other elements based on songs from the group's most recent studio album. The maze is described as "a nightmarish landscape of doom" that will "engulf guests as they enter 'Black Sabbath: 13 3D' and traverse through horrifying graveyards, disturbing madhouses and bone-chilling battlefields."
Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne says the group is "really excited" about the project. He adds that he's seen some drawings of the maze, and he "can't wait to walk through it on opening night."
"Black Sabbath: 13 3D" is the only maze to feature three-dimensional video. The attraction will open on September 20th.

Debate swirls over single word in Benghazi email
(NEWSER) – Republicans aren't letting up in their pursuit of the Benghazi incident, with John Boehner yesterday calling for the release of an email that he claimed would prove that the Obama administration knew from the beginning that the incident had been an attack by Islamic terrorists. Congress has seen the email, and one Republican even read from it at Wednesday's hearing, but Boehner wants it made available to the public. But the New York Times has seen the email, and doesn't see a smoking gun.

Maximize your potential with the optional Pro Wake/Surf Ballast giving you an additional 600 pounds on top of the standard internal 1,150 pounds for more size and push.
The Super Air Nautique 210 hull delivers everything you love about this legend on the water while integrating new technology and features to make it better than ever. The Nautique Surf System is integrated into the design of the hull giving you the ability to fully customize the surf wave and transfers to either side in seconds with the boat evenly weighted.
The worlds most customizable surf system has been stepped up with 3x faster deployment and more control than ever before. The Nautique Surf System is integrated in the hull and specifically designed for each Super Air Nautique boat. Using our WAVEPLATE® technology, the NSS allows surfers the ability to create a wave on either side of the boat instantly without the need to offload ballast or people. When deployed, the WAVEPLATE extends outward and down from the transom intercepting and redirecting the flow of water to clean up the opposite wake and form a surf wave like no other boat. This not only gives you the ability to form a wave on either side instantly, but also allows for wave customization with variable intensity settings that adjust wave steepness and shape by controlling exactly how much the plate is engaged.

Keeping the faith: USC partners with AME churches to improve health
By Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686
Old habits die hard, especially when they're part of a Sunday tradition. But some African-American churchgoers in South Carolina are finding that change can be a good thing when it comes to eating better and staying active.
As part of a project led by USC's Arnold School of Public Health, 74 African Methodist Episcopal (AME) churches participated in a program to help members lead healthier lifestyles through increased physical activity and healthier food choices. Researchers worked in partnership with AME church leaders and members to design and implement the Faith, Activity and Nutrition (FAN) program and trained church leaders to incorporate it into their congregations.
The five-year project was funded with a $3.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health and also included researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina, Clemson University and Allen University. It found that members from trained churches were more likely to engage in physical activity and eat more fruits and vegetables than members from churches that did not undergo the training. Approximately 1,250 members participated in the study and more than half had two or more chronic diseases. The findings of the study were published this week in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"We were very encouraged by the findings," said lead researcher Sara Wilcox of USC's Arnold School. "If you think about scaling this up to churches across the state, even very small changes can translate to significant and meaningful public health effects."
South Carolina consistently ranks near the bottom nationwide in overall health (46th), and African- Americans are even more likely to develop--and die--from chronic health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure than whites. The FAN program worked with AME churches in six South Carolina counties with high health disparities (Berkeley, Charleston, Florence, Georgetown, Richland and Williamsburg).
"Churches are natural partners to help eliminate health disparities in the African-American community," Wilcox said. "For many, especially in the South, the church is the center of their life and is a trusted institution."
Unlike other studies, the FAN program worked with church leaders to help make changes to the church environment. For example, church leaders learned how to build physical activity into regular church activities. They also helped church cooks modify recipes to make traditional foods healthier, such as baked chicken instead of fried, and encouraged them to switch to more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Meals and snacks also were prepared with less sodium and fewer grams of fat.
Rev. Kenneth Taylor of the Turner Memorial AME Church in West Columbia, which participated in the FAN program, said many in his congregation are reluctant to participate in traditional exercise classes. Instead, the pastor get church members moving in the pews to specially selected gospel tracks as part of the church service.
"Some of our people who would otherwise not be physically active are more willing to do it when it's a way of praising God," said Taylor, adding that Turner Memorial AME also started a garden where members get exercise planting and harvesting vegetables used in church meals. "The (FAN) program is wonderful because it takes a holistic approach and allows us to improve lives through praise and worship."

Driving through in January, any locals have updates regarding the condition of the Jersey Shore?
What areas got hit hardest, and which ones (if any) are pretty much back to normal?
Would it be too late to bring some more supplies down? What is still needed?
Any info appreciated, thanks!
