And on the flipside, my neighbor is Ukrainian. Ukrainian Independence Day was this past weekend, and they invited me over for a few drinks. (Which, as a side, do not drink with Ukrainians on Ukrainian Independence Day if you like a functional liver). None of them speak English terribly well, but they made it abundantly clear it's bad over there right now. They've still got family & friends there, and they're naturally worried.
Several shots later, they taught me the phrases, "Fuck Putin" and "Fuck Russia" in Ukrainian. Fans of Russia, they are not.
When the average teachers in Chicago are making ~75k / yr with incredible benefits
Citation to a credible source needed. The only place I see figures of $75K are news articles quoting a biased source. Unbiased sources (e.g. the various salary surveys) are reporting $55K or thereabouts.
Let's face it --- this wouldn't be the first time an employer has inflated claims about how much he's paying in an attempt to discredit unions negotiating for a better deal.
Whether I can be considered credible or not is another question, but seeing as my wife is a teacher in the Chicago suburbs...
$75k outside of Chicago proper is insanely high - it's possible for a 20+ year veteran teacher with extra certifications and a couple of masters degrees, but aside from that, most teachers will never see that much. There are a few expensive districts where the prices vary, of course, but once you get out of Chicago itself, the pay rate traditionally plummets.
IN Chicago, 75k is much closer to reality. I don't know if that's that's the AVERAGE, but I do know starting salaries in CPS (chicago public schools) are over 50k, and in some cases pushing 60. There's a few of reasons for this.
1) The Chicago teacher's union is absurdly powerful.
2) To teach in Chicago, you have to live in Chicago (same is true for almost all government jobs in the city) Unless you want to live in the ghetto, the cost of living there is extremely high.
3) Speaking of ghettos, a very high percentage of Chicago schools are, to put it mildly, hellholes. It's hard as hell to keep teachers because of just how bad conditions are in some of those schools. Nobody wants to work there, so the salaries have to be higher than the 'burbs.
What a shame if all this effort means Earth is the only planet to harbor intelligent life.
Or worse, the first.
Nah, it'd be kind of cool to be the ones strutting around in our encounter suits spouting enigmatic one-liners to the lesser civilizations.
The only drawback is we need to rapidly speed up our medical research so we live long enough to see it.
Multiple times. And, more importantly - about 6 months ago, my motherboard decided to go south. Not wanting to spend the money to upgrade everything, I found a cheap new board, moved everything over, and called it a day. Had the CPU been soldered on, I'da had to buy both a new board and a new processor, along with the possibility of my RAM no longer being compatible with the new board. Big difference between a $50 board and several hundred dollars worth of new hardware.
I was gonna say, he can share a cell with Hans and they can get to work on a cracking new product.
BS. First, kids are not changing that much. Second, if they were changing that much and teachers were adapting, they wouldn't be able to make the lesson plan before they met the students anyway. Thus, only an incompetent teacher would be making lesson plans in the summer.
Tell that to the teacher who gets the 'gifted' class one year, the sack of potatoes the following year, followed by the class of kids whose primarily language is not English, followed by the class of batshit insane kids whose parents refuse to medicate. Teachers get WILDLY different groups of kids year in and year out. Furthermore, they get their tentative class lists well in advance for good reason - woe to the teacher who doesn't at least do SOME prep work beforehand. Waltz into the first day of school thinking you're going to be able to teach a brand new class with the same schedule and plan as last year, and you'll get a very rude awakening very fast. It's very true that a teacher will still have to do some alterations once they meet the kids, but if you think they can get away with doing nothing all summer, you're out of your mind.
No, what we have is a bunch of half truths that get stapled together into one big lie. Teacher A has to take a summer course and it gets added to the list. Teacher B has to grade essays and thus works more hours. That gets added to the list. Teacher C takes a summer job and that gets added to the list. Teacher D is brand new in a low cost of living district so gets a low starting wage and that gets added to the list. Teacher E lives in a high cost of living district, so their housing cost is high and that gets added to the list. This goes on and on until you have a picture of abused teachers living in shacks working 365 days a year just to put scraps on the table.
And the picture of teachers only working 9 months out of the year, getting out of work at 3 and doing no work outside of class is also completely false. Teachers have to put in a TON of work outside the classroom, and many principals/other administrative folks can be as bad as any PHB when it comes to making up inane busy-work for their staff.
The idea that teachers should have to do new lesson plans every year is something that I keep hearing. Unless the programs are changing drastically every year, this should be done once centrally and used by everyone.
They are. Different districts, different principals, different rules that change by the year/mood of the administration.
Administrator gets a bug up their ass to try some New And Awesome Teaching Method, demands their staff use said method, and there you go. New lesson plans.
Add to that, kids are different every year. What worked for one group of kids may not work for next year's group, and teachers need to adapt just like everyone else.
Short answer: Yes, rail travel, with vast investments, could truly do wonders.
Long answer: Vast, VAST investments. It would require much, much faster trains, and new rail tracks...everywhere. The biggest problem with Amtrak is the fact they don't own the rails - they have to yield the right of way to freight, which causes an already Not Too Fast train to be even slower. So, yeah. You'd need more than a few billions, you'd need a complete redesign of the entire county's rail system. Not happening.
Mmm hmm.
Talk to me about walking distance to places when you live in the midwest or northeast, when it's 800 degrees below zero and there's a foot of snow on the ground.
Try working in Chicago proper, and try finding a place close to your office. You have two options. 1) Dodge the bullets, or 2) Sell your kidneys to afford it. Oh, you want to raise a family? Want your kid to have a good education? Hope you can afford private school, 'cause the Chicago public school system ain't exactly Harvard. Want your kid to actually have a safe neighborhood? Well, see above. Hope you can afford one of those nice neighborhoods (that costs several times more than a comparable suburb) But hey, at least you can walk to where you need to go.
Choose where you live, huh? Well, I'd be more than happy to move. Just find me a job in your little walking distance paradise, and find my wife a job as well. While you're at it, get my friends and family to move as well, 'cause I happen to like them.
There are VAST differences in lifestyles depending on the region of the US you are in. One size fits all is utterly impossible in this country.
From a brief scan of SkyTran on Wikipedia...neat idea, completely unworkable. (At least not in any significant US metro area).
How is that system going to handle several hundred (possibly several thousand) people waiting in line to hop on for their morning/evening commute home? How long are people going to be stuck waiting in line for their turn during these rushes? Add to this the fact that large metro areas that two of our largest metro areas (New York and Chicago) have some real nasty winters. So factor in the cost of very large enclosed & heated areas for people to stand around and wait their turn to hop into one of these things (and the cost of acquiring the real estate to build said areas).
The US has a larrrrge amount of real estate. A whole lot of people commute in from suburbs to the major metro areas. Thus, for this to even make a dent in traffic, you'd have to have just an absurd amount of connection points throughout every suburb and into the city, which would also create several very backed up 'exit points' when you have a small army of corporate types heading to the office.
Now, if we're talking about just doing it within a large city itself, okay. You still need to address the sheer mass of people trying to get on and off at a single point (can you imagine how long it would take to board this thing after, say, a sporting event?), and how one can cram this thing into densely built cities. Much easier said than done.
Unless I'm just not seeing it, this would NEVER be efficient in a densely populated area, especially during rush hour times. A combo of high speed mass transit and self driving cars is really the only feasible Solution To Transit In The Future (tm)....unless/until we get our Star Trek Transporters.
I'm curious to know the % of those guns, etc. that were found using baggage X-Rays and metal detectors. You know, the two things we already had and used before the TSA existed. Remember, back when air travel wasn't a total clusterfuck pain in the ass.
Anyone who's ever played X-Com has known for years that the alien HQ on Mars was underground.
Time to hunt some Sectoids...
No, the real question is...how the hell will the three sea shells work?
Good lord, your supers are only making 80-130? Average superintendent salary in Illinois is ~150k, with more than a few making over 300k/yr - there's a reason I'm hoping I can convince my wife to move from teaching into administration down the road, despite the political bullshit that comes with the job.
And of course, they're axing teachers left and right due to financial difficulties. Shock.
In my experience, the administrators are/were rarely all that great of teachers, they're the ones who play the political game the best.
Your fault -- core dumped

Sharing Land: A Growing Revolution
Two UK based websites, Landshare and LandFit (temporarily on hiatus), are hoping to expand the concept in a radical way by putting would-be gardeners who lack the space in contact with those that would like to see their underutilized property put to good use. Time and again we've seen the internet's powerful social networking capabilities bring people together in interesting ways to build communities and create change, and like most successful endeavors this idea is starting small, connecting individuals in their own neighborhoods and backyards. As we begin to understand the impact of large scale farming on our health and the health of our environment, keeping our food locally raised makes increasing sense.

Tomohon is the third-largest city in North Sulawesi after Manado, the capital and then Bitung, the harbor city. It is south of Manado. ContentsDistricts
UnderstandTomohon is an important town in Northern Sulawesi. It is young but holds an important role in tourism of the province. The panorama and nature of Tomohon are attractions for those who travel this far. It lies between two volcanoes, Mt. Mahawu and Mt. Lokon. The town is shaped like a starfish, with long tentacles visible from higher ground. Because of its position on the highland, Tomohon has a very mild climate, for which it is famous. The friendliness of its people is also well-known in the region. Most people in Tomohon are Christian. Christianity plays an important role in all aspects of life. The Christians are diligent churchgoers. Mostly are Calvinist Protestants, members of Gereja Masehi Injili di Minahasa, abbreviated as GMIM[1] /ghemeem/. Instead, the synod of the churches that spread over the Minahasa region is in Tomohon. Christianity has been developing in the area ever since the time of Dutch colonization. Every village in Tomohon has a church from this denomination. The oldest one is GMIM Pniel Kakaskasen 2. Besides the Calvinists, there is also a Catholic congregation, which is the second biggest in Tomohon. Several parishes exist in Tomohon. The big ones are St. Fransiskus Xaverius in Kakaskasen and St. Joseph. In Kakaskasen, there is a Monestary called Biara Bukit Karmel or Karmel Monestary. There are also other congregations from other denominations such as Pentacostal, Adventist, and several minor denominations. Every village from north to south and east to west has luxurious churches (or at least luxe for its congregation). And also, one village would normally have more than one building according to the number of the denominations. That is one reason you will see a church every several hundred meters.
During holiday times, people decorate their houses, the lanes, the streets and so on with special themes. For example, during Christmas and New Years, Christmas ornaments can be easily found anywhere in town. In several corners and intersections or in front of the church, a big white candle stands to illuminate a big decorated Christmas tree. Christmas music starts playing as soon as September. People say "the months ending in '-ber' are Christmas." From 1st - 24th December, the smell of Christmas cookies fills the air. The standard Christmas cookies in Tomohon are nastar, kastengels, rambutan, biji-biji, sultana, snow white, kacang koek, corn flakes, and so on. The names of Christmas cookies are varied too. Christmas season normally ends on January 31st. During December, there is always a celebration called pre-christmas. In one month, a person could attend more than 10 pre-christmas celebrations, for example pre-christmas of the office, of the church, of the neighborhood, the school, the relatives, family, youth organization, woman organization, from NGO, Sunday schools and so on. All the celebrations will end in a certain day called "kuncikan", which literally means closing day.
The Chinese in Tomohon maintain their tradition of celebrating Chinese New Year and the biggest festival is on the 15th day after New Year, called Cap Go Meh. There is a procession for calling the spirits of the Chinese Gods and Goddesses to possess mortal human bodies and they are carried on sedan chairs from the temple around downtown to bestow their blessings on believers. In this procession, the possessed men perform amazing deeds: One pierces his own cheek with some solid and sharp stick from one side to the other without any bleeding out; another, a sword carrier, hits his own back with a very sharp sword without injuring himself; a third cuts his own tongue without injuring himself. This procession usually attracts the attention of the whole town.
Muslims are relatively few in number in Tomohon but have a distinct community in [[Southern Tomohon] called Kampung Jawa, which literally means "Javanese Village." Idul Fitri and the Month of Ramadhan are celebrated here, though without the special procession for the holidays that occurs in other cities in Indonesia. Instead, there are prayers in the open field on the day of Idul Fitri. CultureTomohon is one of Minahasa Tribe region. Therefore, the Tomohoners are Minahasans. However, Minahasa Tribe is divided into several sub tribes, Tomohon belongs to a sub tribe called Tombulu. Pakasaan Tombulu spreads from Tombuluan in the east of Pineleng and Tombariri in the west and from Tomohon in the sourth to Manado in the north. Pakasaan Tombulu speaks Tombulu Language, Manado Malay, and Bahasa Indonesia. It is believed that Tomohon is the center of Pakasaan Tombulu. Pakasaan Tombulu in Tomohon, especially those who lives in the region of Kakaskasen has special customs that is still maintained up until today.
This is a tradition of steam bath to a woman in several weeks after giving birth to a child. This is a traditional body cleansing process. The process of bakerah will be started by a special woman who has ability to arrange the process. She will boil a pail of water and while in the process, she will also put several special herbs such as leaves of agati tree (sesbania grandiflora) or leaves of hummingbird tree, lemon grass (cymbopogon nardus), kajuputih oil, and several other herbs into the boiling water. After the water boils, she will prepare a bucket or pail and pour the water and the herbs in side the container. The new mother will be asked to seat on special chair where under it where the bucket is placed. She will be sitting and having steam bath for around one hour. She will repeat it the process for 7 days in a row.
This is a tradition of working together in the farm. Long time ago when modern technology of cultivating was still a dream and rare to be found, people in the highlands of Minahasa especially in Tomohon created a system of working the land togehter called mapalus. Mapalus is a group of male and female farmers who were associated in a system, bounded with their own or the village regulation to cultivate their farm lands. The farmers usually were divided into a timer and the workers. The timer had function to watch the time while working, carrying the drum and hitting the drum or another instrument called tetengkoren. The process starts at the dawn around 04.30 AM by the sound of the drum. As the timer hit drums with special pattern of hitting, the other member of the group would come to the appointed time that could be at a house of one member, at the intersection, at street corner or anywhere possible for the meeting. And then by the guiding of the drum carrier, they would go to one member's farm. They would work as the sun ray started showing up. While working, the worker usually sang songs either with group or repeating one person to the other.

Dexter Park (Queens)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Dexter Park was located in the Queens, New York neighborhood of Woodhaven, just north of Eldert Lane and Jamaica Avenue, not far from the borough line with Brooklyn. It had a long early history as a recreational park, which replaced a racetrack. Legend has it that the track was named for a famous horse called Dexter, reputedly buried at the site. However, the Brooklyn Eagle disputed this claim in 1891:
The name of Hiram Woodruff recalls Dexter Park. Hiram was the first owner of that property, and, until five or six years ago, his name still appeared in big letters over the horseshed adjoining the hotel. Then the shed was blown down, and when it was rebuilt the name of Hiram Woodruff had disappeared. But Dexter Park did not take its name from the famous trotter owned by the proprietor of the place. It was known simply as Hiram's, and when Woodruff died a man named Charles Dexter took charge of the place. From that time on it has been known as Dexter Park.'
Built in the 19th century, it was eventually the home of the Negro Leagues team called the Brooklyn Royal Giants, of the 1920s and 1930s. According to the Woodhaven Cultural and Historical Society sign at the site, the first night game at this venue was played in 1930. Josh Gibson once hit a home run over the 30-foot high wall behind the 418-foot deep left-center bleachers.[1] It was also the home of the Brooklyn Bushwicks, an independent semi-pro team that played there until 1951, when they folded. The Bushwicks played many teams in the Negro Leagues as well as various All-Star teams. Dexter Park and the Bushwicks were owned by Max Rosner. In the late 1940s and early 1950s a stock car racing track which ran around the baseball field was added. The lighting system which was the first permanent lighting system for night baseball in the U.S. (Ebbets field was not lighted for the Dodgers until 1936) was designed and installed by Max Rosner's son, Herman Rosner, who was an electrical engineer. Many former Major League ballplayers were featured on the Bushwicks, like the Cuccinello brothers. The Brooklyn Farmers also played at Dexter Park.
Dexter Park set an attendance high for a National Challenge Cup (soccer) final in 1929, when 21,583 fans saw New York Hakoah defeat Madison Kennel of St. Louis. A record that stood for more than 80 years, until October 5, 2010, when 31,311 attended an Open Cup final at Qwest Field in Seattle, Washington.

Vantage Drilling Announces Investment in Joint Venture for Construction of New Drillship
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire) - Vantage Drilling Company ("Vantage") (NYSE MKT: VTG) announced today that it has entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Skeie Group and other investors for purposes of constructing a new, high specification drillship at STX Offshore & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd.'s yard in South Korea. Through its investment of $31 million in the joint venture entity, Sigma Drilling Ltd., Vantage will initially own approximately 42% of the equity in Sigma.
Sigma is a newly-created entity formed for the purpose of constructing a BT-UDS Dynamical Positioned Ultra Deepwater Drillship. The vessel will be capable of and equipped to operate in 12,000 ft water depth, have 25,000 metric ton variable deck load, outfitted with a dual activity derrick, equipped with two seven-ram blow out preventer units and capable of storing up to twelve subsea X-mas trees. The vessel will feature a cutting-edge drilling package that is at the forefront of drilling technology. Delivery of the Vessel is expected in November 2015.
The initial equity funding by the partners is expected to be sufficient to cover substantially all of the shipyard and other capital expenditures which require payment prior to the completion and delivery of the drillship.
Paul Bragg, Vantage's Chairman and CEO, commented, "We view this high-spec drillship construction project as an excellent opportunity for Vantage to further grow our presence in the expanding ultra-deepwater drilling market, with only a small capital commitment. Our partners have been some of the most innovative and successful in this industry. STX and our major equipment providers have excellent track records and technical expertise. We believe that the construction contract provides exceptional value, attractive terms and the high end of available technology."
In conjunction with the investment, Vantage and Sigma are entering into (1) a Project Management Agreement, whereby Vantage will provide construction oversight of the vessel, (2) a Marketing Agreement, and (3) a Management Agreement, whereby Vantage will manage the future operation of drilling services.
Contact Profile
Vantage, a Cayman Islands exempted company, is an offshore drilling contractor, with an owned fleet of four Baker Marine Pacific Class 375 ultra-premium jackup drilling rigs and two ultra-deepwater drillships, thePlatinum Explorer and the Titanium Explorer, as well as an additional ultra-deepwater drillship, the Tungsten Explorer, now under construction. Vantage's primary business is to contract drilling units, related equipment and work crews primarily on a dayrate basis to drill oil and natural gas wells. Vantage also provides construction supervision services for, and will operate and manage, drilling units owned by others.

"Keyway" redirects here. For the defunct airline, see Keyway Air Transport. For other uses, see Keyhole (disambiguation).
A keyhole (or keyway) is a hole or aperture (as in a door or lock) for receiving a key.[1] Lock keyway shapes vary widely with lock manufacturer, and many manufacturers have a number of unique profiles requiring a specifically milled key blank to engage the lock's tumblers.

In the simplest of terms, one might put a price tag on the generosity of Moffat County residents at about $335,000 -- the amount raised for the United Way during the annual campaign fund-raiser at the close of last year.
With a deadline of today, area organizations could apply for those record-setting funds that assisted almost 30 local non-profit groups last year.
But the $335,000 doesn't include the more than $25,000 in donations that the community gave during the annual 93.7 KRAI holiday media drive. The drive, which benefits Advocates Crisis Support Services, the Interfaith Food Bank and Christmas for Kids saw a record number of donations in a matter of days.
Advocates Crisis Support Services received $4,800; Christmas for Kids received nearly $5,000 and the Interfaith Food Bank received $13,000. In addition, the people of this community donated 14,424 pounds of food, 600 toys and 5 tons of clothing.
On top of all that, the local branch of the Salvation Army collected just more than $4,300 during their kettle campaign.
In an uncertain economy, it would be easy for people to just look the other way -- look out for No. 1. In the neighboring community of Steamboat Springs, United Way campaign goals are increasingly harder to meet because the sense of "community" that we have in Craig is rare and difficult to achieve.
But the residents of Moffat County prove again and again that they consider No. 1 the place where they live and those who live next door. And the residents of Moffat County prove again and again that those in need will not be forgotten and will be taken care of. In turn, we know that those who receive help from our community now, will be those who give later.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.K. stocks gained Friday as Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC shares put in their best performance in more than two years after an upbeat profit report, while AstraZeneca PLC shares slipped after the drug maker rejected a sweetened merger offer from Pfizer Inc.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 UKX, -0.06% closed up 0.2% at 6,822.42, a move that pushed the benchmark index to a 2.1% rise for the week, its third consecutive weekly increase.
Stocks in London held a grip on gains as the broader European market hit intraday lows, falling further as the United Nations Security Council met at the request of Russia to discuss the "serious escalation of violence in Ukraine," according to French news agency AFP.
A Ukrainian military operation launched Friday left "many" pro-Russian activists dead as Ukraine tried to regain control of the pro-Russian separatist stronghold of Slovyansk, Britain's BBC reported.
Tensions between Moscow and Kiev intensified ahead of three-day weekend in the U.K. and Ireland, where trading won't take place on Monday in observance of the Early May Bank holiday.
The FTSE 100's advance on Friday was aided by an 8.2% upswing in RBS shares RBS, +0.41% after the bank's first-quarter profit surged to 1.2 billion pounds ($2.02 billion) from £393 million a year ago. The performance was the best for RBS's shares since January 2012, according to FactSet data. The rise in quarterly profit for the 80% U.K. government-owned bank came as bad debt in its loan books fell, and as provisions for legal issues related to misconduct from the financial crisis decreased.
Shares of InterContinental Hotels Group IHG, +2.34% also rallied 8.2% after the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza chains owner said it plans to distribute $750 million to shareholders through a special dividend. The move comes after the company reported a 6% rise in first-quarter revenue for each available room.
Meanwhile, AstraZeneca PLC AZN, -0.56% rebuffed Pfizer Inc.'s PFE, -0.01% acquisition offer, which was raised to £50 a share ($84.87), valuing AstraZeneca at £63 billion ($106.43 billion).
"Inadequate" is what AstraZeneca called financial and other terms of the offer. AstraZeneca shares had turned up during the session, but concluded the day with a 0.2% decline. The shares still finished the week up by 17.8%, their strongest week on record, according to FactSet.
"Pfizer's proposal would dramatically dilute AstraZeneca shareholders' exposure to our unique pipeline and would create risks around its delivery. As such, the board has no hesitation in rejecting the proposal," said AstraZeneca Chariman Leif Johansson in a statement.
In January, Pfizer had valued the company at £46.61 a share, or about $100 billion.
U.S. adds 288,000 jobs in April
Americans gain jobs at the fastest pace in more than two years last month, a look at the markets including three stocks to watch today, plus, you know George Clooney the movie star, but what about George Clooney the tequila maker?
Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC shares RB., +0.38% fell 0.9% following a Bloomberg report that Bayer AG BAYN, -0.30% is close to reaching an agreement to take over Merck & Co. Inc.'s MRK, -0.34% consumer-health care unit, in a deal that values the unit at $14 billion.
Earlier this week, Reckitt Benckiser said it was in talks to buy the unit from Merck, adding that it was "part of a competitive process." A Bayer representative declined to comment on the Bloomberg report, while a Merck spokesperson wasn't immediately available.
In other developments Friday, Markit and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply said U.K. house-building activity grew in April.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
Should I leave it and contact adsense about this hacker, or edit it right away?
Does anyone know what measures will Adsense take in this situation? Will I be compensated? Will he have his account banned?
Secondly - I have a felling something similar has occurred before - I think if you read back a few months there was a similar thread - perhaps you could contact the OP and ses what the outcome was. I'm pretty sure they didn't get any short change out of adsense - but perhaps the other party got a ban. Let us know.
When Google bans this guy, which they may well do, you may wake up and find the whole site deleted. If he had access to change the Adsense code he has access to change or remove anything he wants.
I would have secured my position and then contacted the original owner for a claim of two or three times my estimated loss of earnings - if he's using adsense elsewhere it would be more than worth it to him to pay up just to avoid you reporting him to Google.
As you've now reported him to Google, perhaps you want to look into the small claims court and bringing a money claim against him for the stolen revenue?
Here's their response:
[edited by: martinibuster at 4:00 am (utc) on May 16, 2007]
[edit reason] See TOS [webmasterworld.com]. [/edit]
There's nothing they could do to get in the middle of this kind of situation, so it's a loss that would have to be recovered from the guy direct. But there's no telling if they'll consider action on that other account and even if they did, it wouldn't be divulged to anyone else.
Just gather whatever documentation you can, back up and move the site and move on. Make sure your passwords are secure, including double-checking the domain registration.
I wonder if I can claim the revenue I lost.
Confront the thief. Ask for your money and he/she doesn't return it, say you'll report the outrageous fraud and theft to Google, which will mean they'll lose their Adsense account, and never get another one. Or however you feel you can get their attention. The thief has your money, not Google, so going to G would be barking up the wrong tree.
Then contact the owner - perhaps sending an invoice - for these loss of earnings. Write a covering letter stating that unless monies are recieved within x days you will be taking legal action to recover his fraudulent activity - and will be claiming additional costs on top. Its got two chances. If we are talking about significant amounts of money - seek legal advice first. However, if it is an annoying area whereby you could perhaps end up losing more to lawyers than you might gain, then try to get it resolved this way.
I feel for you - I would have steam gushing out of all orifices if this happened to me. I guess a learning curve for anyone who buys domains/sites off of someone else. Make sure all passwords etc are changed.
Let us know if you get any joy.
I recommend using a password manager and generating a different random password for each login you use. If you search WW you will find a few good threads discussing the various password management solutions.
[edited by: Fribble at 6:55 pm (utc) on May 16, 2007]
I hate to say it, but there could be a backdoor that's giving the hacker access to your server. Change ALL your passwords and continue to watch your site like a hawk.
...Or sell your site to the Hell's Angels and let them sort it out if it happens again.
Just update your security as suggested , good luck with your earnings
actually, that is a terrible idea. ignore what i just said. google might link the ban to the domain name, which will mess up your own ads.

Hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's agitation calendar began with a shutdown in valley on Wednesday. The protests are meant to press for the return of the body of executed Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.
Shops, malls, and private offices remained closed.
To prevent street protests, the government had imposed Section 144 of the CrPC — which bars the assembly of more than four people – since Tuesday. The restrictions operated in parts of Srinagar and a few towns in north and south Kashmir.
Several youths were taken into preventive custody. The entire separatist leadership was either placed under house arrest or taken into preventive custody.

Speak Loudly or Carry a Small Soundbar
There are three kinds of people in this world: those who have a big speaker setup for their TV, those who prefer a more compact, self-contained unit, and those who settle for the speakers built into their TV. That last kind is beyond hope. All we can offer them is our pity.
But those first two we can help. If you watch movies in many-speakered splendor, you'll need a receiver like this Denon 5.1 to make that sound surround you. (Speakers not included, of course.) If you just want something easy and small that still delivers solid sound, it's the Audiosource Soundbar, end of story. Either way, you'll never settle for those built-in TV speakers again.
Denon AVR-1513 5.1-Channel 3D Pass Through Home Theater A/V Receiver
Enjoy high-quality audio and video through your home theater system with the AVR-1513 AV Surround Receiver from Denon. Plug your portable audio player into the receiver's stereo mini jack, and the built-in Compressed Audio Restorer will convert your compressed music files into rich sound. Discrete circuitry delivers powerful surround sound for 3D movies, while a GUI overlay lets you easily change system settings through menus on your TV screen.
Discrete Circuitry for Powerful Surround Sound
Each of the AVR-1513's five 75-watt channels is powered by its own discrete circuit. This allows the receiver to reproduce original sound more faithfully than conventional models, which use integrated circuits.
Play Compressed Files with Rich Sound Quality
Thanks to Denon's Compressed Audio Restorer, you can connect your portable audio player to the stereo mini jack on the AVR-1513's front panel and enjoy music from your player in beautiful, rich sound quality. This technology restores compressed music sources to their original, pre-compressed quality to give you a lively sonic ambience with greater detail and depth.
Create a 3D Home Theater System
The AVR-1513 features 3D pass-through technology. By connecting a 3D Blu-ray disc player and a 3D TV to the receiver, you can have a 3D home theater system with exceptional high-definition sound and video.
High-Definition Audio Support
The AVR-1513 supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HDaudio decoding for Blu-ray.
Minimum Signal Path for Clear Audio and Video
This receiver features a simple and straight design concept implemented in the signal paths to contribute to optimal audio and video playback. The signal paths are as short as possible to keep degradation to a minimum.
Easy to Operate
The AVR-1513 offers an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) with large, easy-to-read characters. The new "Setup Assistant" prompts you through the initial setup, making it a breeze. Using any of four quick-select buttons, you can preset volume level and surround mode for the sources you most frequently use, so they're ready to play each time with the press of a button.
It also comes with a simple remote control that runs on two AAA batteries (included).
HDMI Ports to Connect Your Mobile Devices
The AVR-1513 features four HDMI inputs, including one on the front. As a result, you can easily connect mobile devices, like a camcorder or tablet, and immediately enjoy videos, photos, and music. The HDMI ports support the transmission of a variety of video formats, including 3D video as well as Deep Color and x.v.Color, which express beautiful images in full HD.
Vibration-Resistant for Greater Sound Quality
Vibration-resistant construction suppresses the negative influence of vibration on sound quality. Power transformers are securely mounted on the receiver's solid bottom chassis to minimize vibration.

Nappy Area Blues
I have a nine month old daughter, and her name is Arrayah. She has had a clean record of not having many rashes. The other day, I opened up her nappy and found a few little red dots scattered around. One looked like a pimple. I have never seen one of these before in this particular area. Do you know why this happens, and what I can do to help her? I didn't want to pop it, but I do not want it to grow and get bigger. Please, if anyone has any ideas of how to give her comfort down below, I would appreciate your time.
14th September 2012 03:54 AM #2
Definitely do not pop it. It may be a diaper rash or even a slight yeast infection. Try to give her some naked time everyday and let it air out. If you are using cloth nappies, strip them to remove any potential yeast and consider switching to a different, gentler brand of laundry detergent. If you are using disposable nappies and the problem continue, you may want to purchase some cloth and give that a try.
There are many relatively natural diaper creams out there, Weleda is a good brand. This will ease her discomfort, though if it is yeast in nature you may need something else, either antibiotic ointment from her physician or gentian violet. Keeping the area clean and dry, and giving her some naked time every day will most likely nip any minor problem in the bud.

Hi Emily,
How is your little Arrayah's nappy rash looking now? Is it cleared up or has it stayed the same or gotten worse?
Angela touched on a lot of good points, and my first thought was that it might be a yeast rash.
Has Arrayah had any antibiotics in the last 3 months?
On rashes that were not yeasty in nature, I used Weleda Calendula Nappy Cream with my 4th and 5th babies, after I learned about it from one of my midwives. It worked really well.
Warm Regards,

Hello Kate, and Angela! Thank you both SO much for replying! Arrayah still has a few bumps down in her nappy area. I think today, it is safe to say, that I should take her to see her physician. She has had antibiotics in the past three months, but it wasn't in the last couple of weeks or anything. The rash is not very bad right now, but there are still bumps. I will let you know what I find out. It might just be a regular rash, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Angela, one of the things I have thought about (which you mentioned) was changing the type of nappy. I have considered at one point, doing cloth diapers. But first let me take her to see the physician, and I will see what they say. Thank you both for your kind responses, and for being there for me!!
20th September 2012 01:17 PM #5
Hi Emily,
Thanks for the update!
Antibiotics wipe out all bacteria - the good and the bad. Good bacteria help keep yeast in check, and when you take antibiotics, yeast can often multiply out of control, causing thrush, yeast infections and yeast rashes in the nappy area.
Even though Arrayah hasn't had antibiotics in the past 2 weeks, she could still need some probiotics to help replenish the good bacteria that the antibiotics killed off. I would encourage you to give Arrayah some probiotics which may help to clear up the rash, and if it's not a yeast rash, it will also help with digestion and it's just really good for the body.
When I had little ones I would get the probiotics (acidophilus, bifidus, etc.) in capsule form, and break open a capsule into unsweetened applesauce. If your daughter is eating babyfood, you can mix the probiotics into the babyfood and serve it to her that way. Many brands of yoghurt have active probiotic cultures in it and will say so on the label.
Do let us know what the doctor says.
Warm Regards,
I would encourage you to give Arrayah some probiotics like acidophilus, bifidus, etc.

Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary this week.
The royal couple arrived at Oslo Cathedral with their three children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Prince Sverre Magnus and Marius Borg Hoiby to attend a church service to mark the joyous occasion.
King Harald, Queen Sonja, Princess Martha Louise and Ari Behn were also on hand.
Mette-Marit's family, friends and 200 members of the public, who queued last week for free tickets, made up the rest of the congregation.
Close friends and parents-to-be Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel made sure they didn't miss the celebrations either.
The Swedish royals couldn't help but express the happy moment they are experiencing.
Mum-to-be Victoria glowed with happiness as the couple shared tender moments and held hands during the event.
Following the service a private dinner hosted by King Harald and Queen Sonja was held.

So our car's came with some pretty attractive license plate frames. however, they extend too far low and cover the top portion of the exhaust outlet, and apparently since they are so low they start to melt from the exhaust heat.
soooo, my next idea, use those tiny veloster logo's and put them to good use =D
How to: use your head, this is just a tiny removable plastic emblem that came on our license plate frames, remove, then stick it on ;P
So thats it! V-speed's license plate logo mod ;D enjoy!

That too! I love nothing better than beating the Flyers.
The reason I'm excited is because he was a huge part of the Pens. My mother who was a huge Pens fan always loved him. So as I watch him it will remind me of being at the games with my mom. I go to several Flyers games every year when they aren't playing the Pens I root for them. Jags and superstar will give me a reason to cheer.

This one is a lot of fun. As the other reviewer said, there are a lot of spiders in this game, real and mechanical. Game and HO graphics are well-drawn. The hints and skips refilled quickly, and there's a Strategy Guide available as well. I didn't use it once, as the hints gave me all the help I needed. There's one drawback to this game. A number of characters, (but not all), in the video's speak sooo slooowly, as if they had a hard time speaking. I sat through them, but you can always skip if you don't have the patience for it. The bonus game was good too, it's a pre-quel to the main game. All in all, it's time well spent. Enjoy! See more See less
This was a very good game! If you don't like spiders though, be warned. They are in every scene. See more See less

Denver, Colorado, is digging out from a heavy snowstorm today. The fast-moving front blazed through the state Monday night dumping up to eight inches of snow just in time for the Tuesday morning commute.
Channel 7, ABC photo
While the main streets and highways are mostly clear, the side streets remain clogged. The secret to getting to work is getting away from the curb and navigating through the bed of wet whiteness which shifts with the wind.
Motorists who navigate to main streets will encounter slick surfaces and black ice. According to 7-News, some vehicles are not able to climb a mild grade on I-25 near Hampden Avenue and have caused large traffic jams. Travelers heading to the mountains to take advantage of fresh powder will have to wait at the Eisenhower Tunnel. U.S. Loveland Pass is closed, so the hazardous traffic that normally takes this alpine detour is being channeled through the tunnel at the top of each hour.

Skill, Strategy, and Passion: an Empirical Analysis of Soccer
Sports provide a natural experiment on individual choices in games with high stakes. We study soccer with a game-theoretic model of a match, and then evaluate the ability of this model to explain actual behavior with data from 2885 matches among professional teams. In our model, the strategy of a team depends on the current state of the game. When the game is tied, both teams attack. A losing team always attacks, while its winning opponent attacks early in the game, but it starts defending as the end of the match nears. We find that teams' skills, current score, and home field advantage are significant explanatory variables of the probability of scoring. We also find that a team which falls behind is relatively more likely to score. A team which is ahead, on the other hand, uses a conservative strategy very early in the match. These results support the main conclusions of our model. They indicate that soccer teams behave consistently with rationality and equilibrium. However, there is significant evidence that emotional factors are roughly as important as rational ones in determining the game's outcome, and they affect the strategic decisions of teams.

Case is quiet, looks pretty good, has tons of features.
Bad luck with usb front panel I guess. I plugged in my Logitech Unifying receiver to the front panel USB and smelled burning so I quickly unplugged it. The receiver was HOT. I opened the case to see the whole little board that runs the 4 USB ports and SD card reader was hot and fried. It fried the 2 USB 2.0 headers on my ASUS mobo as well as the larger USB 3.0 spot on my mobo... so now I am out a fully functioning mobo and case and Newegg will not RMA because I no longer have the huge retail box it came in. Pretty upset this case broke my motherboard and I am out of luck.

Traditional Elegance Wedding Photography
Black and White Photography First Look
WE know YOU know that we love to splash big beautiful color images across the pages of Style Me Pretty. But we also know that sometimes ~ black and white rules! And from the moment we saw these images from David Wittig Photography ~ well, you'll see …
Are you in love with David Wittig Photography ??
I'm serious … it just gets better and better …
Awesome … in every way, shape and form of the word!
. . .
We often ask our brides if they are glad that they had a "first look" session.
Here's what Terese had to say …
Because we planned from the beginning to have a late evening wedding, there was really no other option than to see each other and take photos before the ceremony. Our photographers set it up so that I was standing at the end of a long, tree-lined path and Ed walked up from behind. I was nervous and giddy until the moment I felt him kiss me on the shoulder and put his hand on my arm. Looking back, I can't imagine not having this time alone with Ed to relax and smooch a little before the real craziness of the day began.
Afterward, we spent some time taking photos along Lake Michigan. Our hotel was also along the lakeshore and at one point we looked up at the top of the hotel and saw our moms and the bridesmaids looking down at us and waving. I couldn't have planned the moment more perfectly if I had tried!
Our ceremony location was any easy decision. Once we decided that we'd get married in a church, I knew it would be Holy Name Cathedral. Not only is it a stunning cathedral in the heart of the city, but it's also in the neighborhood where Ed and I live, so it's the church we attend together.
After the ceremony, we were standing in the back of the church as our guests filed out. I hadn't seen my grandpa yet and suddenly he appeared and wrapped me in the biggest hug. Through tears, he couldn't stop telling me how happy he was for Ed and me. Dave and Nancy discreetly captured this moment and I am so grateful to have these photos.
We'll have the "rest of the story" and more spectacular images from David Wittig and Nancy Beale in just a bit…
If you're anxious to see more ~ David & Nancy have posted the entire day in all it's glory in a slideshow on their blog {here}.
It will totally blow you away!

Topic Review (Newest First) |
IceWish | Ok so the 2 ft bulb is 40 Watts,the space i have for the bulbs is a little less than 4 ft so the 4 ft bulb wouldnt work and the store doesnt have 3 ft bulb.The thing with this store is that i dont have to pay for anything it goes under a charge bill for the company so i like this store alott.I took the 4 18" bulbs and i noticed that i can still fit in 2 more so ill get them today...i can also fit in one compact flouricent bulb (got the idea from another post)...so ill do that today.Ill also have to put in a little fan as well.The plant light was too big for the fixture. |
GulfCoastAquarian |
Wow, we're really expanding our international member base here! Welcome to the board =) So far you have the following: - 2 foot bulb (most likely 20 watts, are you sure it is 40w?) - Four 18" 15 watt bulbs - 50w plant light - is this also fluorescent? Or halogen? Incandescent? Total you have about a little over 100 watts. This is still a fairly low level of lighting. If you could return your four F15T8 lights and connections, I'd recommend going back and asking for an industrial lighting fixture for four foot bulbs. They usually come in either 2 or 4 bulb configurations for lighting workshops, offices, etc. and cost very little. Then ask for F40T12 bulbs over 5000k. Most of them will be either 3000K or 4100K. As long as they are "daylight" or very cool colored, they will work well with plants. |
IceWish | Thanx for your input guyz....im sorry for not being clear about the cover......it fits over the tank perfectly.......its just that the space for the lights is a bit smaller.....i already went out today to an electrical shop (Dont have a Home Depot or Walmart down here in Trinidad)and got a few bulbs and fittings but im not sure its enough...i got 4.. F15T8 Grow Lite and all the connections and stuff ...I also got a 50 Watt Plant light so ill try an hook those up....it cost me about $35 USD....How much more would i need? or is that enough?..Its amaizing though ...down here no one knows about aqurium lights or grow lights....its really hard to find..And last week i gave up on finding Flourite.....no one knows what it is....they keep thinking its flouride......I decided to mix in some natural fertilizer which i got in the woods.. |
Rex Grigg | Seems kind of strange that a 4' tank would have a 3' canopy on it. I too would dump the canopy you have and either build or buy a new one. You can even pick up a basic one from www.ahsupply.com and get the PC retro-fit kits while you are there. |
GulfCoastAquarian |
So the wooden cover is 3' x 11" x 5"? You're going to be severely limited for lighting in that canopy. Even if you do go with, say, two 96 watt Power Compact fluorescent lights, they are only three feet wide and would leave half a foot on each side unlit. If it were me, I would sell the wooden canopy to someone who could fit it on their tank and either make your own four foot canopy or buy one. Here are a few items for your shopping pleasure: 4x55w - 47" Solar Compact Light: $220 4x55w JBJ Formosa Deluxe with cooling fans and easy tilt brackets: $270 If you're on a budget, just do two double strip shop lights ($10 a piece) from Home Depot and stick four Sylvania Gro-Lux bulbs in there ($5 a piece) for 160 watts to get you started and save up for the power compacts. |
IceWish |
I got this aquarium (67 gallons)with an already made wooden cover......and a 40 watt 2ft bulb of course. Perfect for a fully loaded planted aquarium........Not.. The dimentions i have to play with is 3 feet 11" long and 5" across... What kind of lighting should i get??? |

For a fancy, eye-catching appetizer, try these delightful stuffed figs wrapped with prosciutto. —Sarah Vasques, Milford, New Hampshire
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 16 dried figs
- 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 8 thin slices prosciutto, halved widthwise
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- For glaze, in a small saucepan, bring vinegar to a boil over medium heat; cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup.
- Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each fig; fill with 1-1/2 teaspoons cheese. Wrap each with a piece of prosciutto; place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with rosemary and pepper.
- Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp. Serve warm with glaze. Yield: 16 appetizers.
Editor's Note: Amber-colored dried figs (labeled Turkish or Calimyrna) are recommended for this recipe. Mission figs, which are black, are smaller and hold less cheese. If large stems are present, remove them before stuffing figs.
