I do not and will not ever believe a word that comes out of this man's mouth. How does one forget to list all those assets in his bankruptcy filing? He blames everyone else. Obviously the bankruptcy attorney knows the difference between gross and net income. I seriously doubt his IRS audit went as smoothly as he said.
He is finally getting what he deserves.

Classic Bill Hogarty responses. Now he claims it's a DOJ trial attorney's fault, Maggie McGhee, that he committed bankruptcy fraud and that hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax payer money was wasted because the DOJ had to investigate to prove he was committing bankruptcy fraud. Oh wait, this all happened and all this work was done because Ms. McGhee has a "vendetta" against him. Huh, seems to me that Mr. Hogarty stipulated/agreed to have his bankruptcy case denied within a week before the DOJ was to take him to trial on the 20+ count complaint filed against him. Not WITHDRAWN, but DENIED. So now he admits bankruptcy fraud, but is trying to play the victim and personal vendetta card again. He's a really important man to have the DOJ and their highly paid trial attorneys pursue these types of cases against him to satisfy a personal vendetta. I wonder if Maggie McGhee is also mentally ill and that this is the reason she went after him. I'm having flashbacks to when he claimed he was a victim of the Department of Real Estate when they too spent thousands investigating his fraud and sought to revoke his license. He of course surrendered it right before it was to be revoked once again agreeing that the charges/complaint filed against him were correct.
Poor Bill. I mean c'mon, with so many people having vendettas against him for no reason and since he has mentally ill people after him maybe we should cut him some slack [portion removed.]
For the records, he actually took in millions on his mortgage relief scam, not tens of thousands. There are several hundred victims, not dozens. He absolutely positively did not pay back all the money he was legally bound to put in a trust account and stole (findings by the Department of Real Estate which caused him to surrender his license when the DRE sought to outright revoke it) and in fact the Department of Real Estate found the trust account was empty with a long history of massive amounts of business/trust funds being transferred to he and his Wife's personal bank account. This would be the very reason the IRS was brought into the investigation because it resulted in he and his wife having millions in income and they had all the bank statements to prove it. This occurred a few years after he stole all the funds out of his employees' 401K plan that they had contributed out of their hard earned compensation only to have him steal it all leaving them with nothing. Huh, I wonder if he reported all the money his stole from his employees then as income? Perhaps someone needs to call the IRS and suggest this be investigated too. I'm sure they also have a personal vendetta against him and will pursue it.
One other tidbit that might be of interest, Bill Hogarty was the BROKER of OF Lending. He is claiming that all these people that were scammed by his company weren't his customers and they were the customers of his agents. Well guess what.......real estate law is very specific that every client belongs to the BROKER and not the agent. Agents handle and work with clients on behalf of the BROKER, and the BROKER is the one to properly manage all agent and client activity. Every single one of these clients was HIS, period. [Portion removed.]
I wonder what new scam he's up to now? He managed to convince hundreds of people to join ACN because it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and they were all going to make millions. Oh but then he realized he couldn't get rich quick on the back of all these poor folks he signed up and had pay fees so he dumped the ACN gig and is now trying to dupe the same people into his newest MLM scam. I know he said ACN was God's greatest gift and that you should trust him and spend money to join so he can get a cut, but really, this time for sure it's the case and you will make millions if you join him even if you joined ACN being told the same.

I am a bit reluctant to comment yet for years I have sat back and watched people attacke me, many who never met with me take stabs at me and most did it annomiously. I am far from perfect or a saint. Yet I am a very hard worker and driven, more than most. I have many faults and first to admit them. I guess someone who never met me wouldnt know I am the first to admit my faults. The internet has been a place to judge and attack people Not sure what people get out of it yet so be it. I feel Glenn did a fair job at both sides of the story, thank you. I am happy to discuss with ANYONE the facts behind what I have done and support with documentation. I worked for 22 years with a perfect reputation and over 100,000 happy clients I worked hard for that. When the mortgage market colapsed, it was survival without a rule book. I have been accused at taking 401k money, We paid EVERY dollar back. There was a group of 20 or so people that met weekly in an attempt to get back at me, and yes NOT one was my client and YES I was responcible for the agents whom clients they were. I have paid dearly. This group contacted the IRS, DOJ, DA and DRE. The IRS for instance, they alleged I stole trust funds and didnt pay taxes. I went through a 1.5 years audit (probably cost 150k of tax payer money, where is the accountability for the fault accusations) and found to have paid all my taxes and no tax liability. Yet on the internet whatever one is accused of, they appear to be guilty.
I am a VERY lucky guy. I have an amazing wife, amazing X wife, children, brother, parents and in laws. Yes this has been very trying and saddening to see the horrible things written yet in the end I have to focus on what I can change. I realized worrying about what people I dont know think will just waste alot of energy so I focus on my family. Again far from perfect yet progress
I paid 440k back, have the canceled checks
Have 100 approvals out of 400 filesm hardly a scam (went on national TV "we are having a hard time with approvals with 2 largest banks and a contract that was clear that no guarantee")
This was over four years ago, and I peacefully ask that we all move on. Yes I have paid dearly, yet in the end I tried to help people and it didnt work out, yet I did not cause the collapse of the real estate market.
I went in new nothing direction with my career as real estate used to be fun, yet it wasnt any more. I love what I do now and have always believed that one shoud love what they do I still have friends in real estate and 90% hate it.
So please understand their are two sides to every story and I am ALWAYS willing to support my side with facts I am sure my responce here will result in some attack and it was a risk going to the press yet I couldnt stand back and watch the rumors fly around any more (sad how many consequences come with rumors) The DOJ accused me of horrible things, not true, yet I didnt have the money to fight any more. Attorney's are exspensive. The DOJ did deny anything, I choise to stop fighting The world is a very challenging place (all 7 of my friends got divorces with fianancial pressure) and I hope we can move on and focus on the future
I wish you all a great day!

I am one of so many hurt and displaced by this man. He seeks to "move on" and wants everyone else to because it suits him now that we can all go after him since he can't hide behind his fraudulent bankruptcy filing anymore. We will be going after him and we encourage others to do the same. We've all had our hands tied by his false bankruptcy claim for a few years and I'm thankful the DOJ saw through this and didn't let him get away with it. I agree that his agreeing to have it declined is in fact him admitting to the DOJ charges. [Portion removed.]
He is admitting to stealing his employee's 401K funds somehow suggesting it was okay because he he claims to have paid them back. Does this mean we can now all rob banks as long as we pay them back?
I'm baffled by his comment that with the collapse of the market which he apparently blames for his theft and fraud that it was "survival without a rule book". Huh? There was definitely a rule book that he chose to ignore which is why he now doesn't have a license and can't legally operate in the real estate world. It's a very narcissistic way of thinking to first blame and industry for illegal acts and then to claim there were no rules when there most definitely was. It was him breaking them that caused him to get reported to the DRE and other agencies and why they took action. By some reporting him, which he is attempting to suggest makes him a victim, saved lord knows how many more families grief had he still maintained his licenses. The DOJ ruling is no different. If all the agencies he was reported to found the complaints unfounded, they wouldn't have gone after him. It was no vendetta, it was the proper authorities doing the proper things to protect consumers. He is no victim.
[Portion removed.]
He now claims a 25% success rate on his modification scam, but before he claimed it to be much higher. When people singed up it was 8 of ten that were successful and now it's 1 of 4. I don't believe this number either having talked to a former employee. When you tell a customer you are successful 80% of the time to get them to pay you in excess of $10,000 when you now admit the success rate to be at best 25% (which is probably another lie), this is a scam and amounts to him defrauding hundres of people out of millions that the DOJ found he funneled to his own personal bank accounts. He most definitely did not pay back all the money he was supposed to have in trust and some of the refunds he paid were his bounced checks.
I hope Mr. Hogarty will consider expressing some remorse and apologize instead of [portion removed] making himself out to be a victim. [Portion removed.]

Recently I started using Twitter. Have not started yet with Facebook.
It's no secret that these social outlets can help google rankings but my question is, generally, by how much? Is it significant? Is it minor? Could the Twitter grader be used to help infer this?
Logic dictates that Googleplus activity combined with clicks on the "g+1" button will have more effect per volume than facebook, twitter and the likes. You will need a lot of traffic, likes and such for it to make a difference though. I suspect that the increase in traffic from effective social media use in itself will far outweigh the effect on serp ranking.
As i know Twitter and Facebook are two social networking websites that can helpful in genrating traffic for website. But if we talking about Google Plus, it is such a good website that can give us quality backlinks.
I'm not at all familiar with Google plus. Only thing I see from their page is that you can start sharing with it. Is this something that canbe added tto sites hrough webmaster tools or analyitcs accounts?
That's something I need to look at too. I can see how to set up a personal account on G+ but haven't worked out how to set up a business account.
As far as generating a traffic is concerned,facebook is easier than any other social site.one can get good amount of traffic from fb in much less time and with less efforts
Traffic through facebook directly? (searches right through facebook) Or, are you talking about traffic due to increased rankings on the engines as a result of facebook? Traffic originating from where?
(sorry for the double post but I came across something unexpected)
Going to add the G+1 I looked at their policy at https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/buttons-policy and found that:
"Users can express their interest in a Publisher or its website by clicking the +1 button, and can share content from the Publisher's website to Google+. "
Can share content, does that sound like copy the sites content over. Am I misreading?
I still use Facebook and Twitter to post my blog post, at least it is increase my blog visitors
I use twitter and G+. It helps increase real traffic on my website.
I know how powerful FaceBook and Tweeter in our SEO efforts. I'm not sure with G+. But since it's Google, I can assume we'll get good rankings from there. That is of course if we post good-quality content there.
Now a day its a "must do" list for social promotion ,without this we will be affected for gaining online promotion and indirect profit in our business to.What I can simply suggest ,make a real profile for your orgnization and be update profile regularly other wise the upcoming Google Zebra update penalized your account and perhaps it will remove that account to web world.So be connect with social media and be aware about update.

La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an inspired life and a Giveaway
Every once in a while, if we are lucky, we will come across a music album, painting, photograph or book that captures us – a source of inspiration we cannot let go and keep going to over and over again. This is what Béa Peltre's new cookbook "La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an inspired life" has done for me.
I make time in my day to sit down with Béa's book. I take the time to savor it. I sigh, walk away, but I must return to it to admire a photograph or look at a recipe once again. "I must try that!" I say out loud. Eggplant, lamb, and winter squash crumble, mille-feuille of shrimp, grapefruit, and avocado or upside down cranberry cake have my name written all over them.
"La Tartine Gourmade: Recipes for an inspired life" is a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and memories. A glimpse into this beautiful life Béa has created for her family surrounded by food and nature.
Béa needs little introduction as her blog La Tartine Gourmade is one of the most celebrated food blogs today. I was incredibly lucky to sit at her dining room table a few months ago and eat some of her delicious food – recipes from this book that I actually continue to bake at home for my family. Course after course, she blew us away with her bright flavors, texture, and presentation. A meal I will never forget.
Béa was kind enough to take some time to answer some of my questions. A little insight into her creative process.
Aran: One thing I really enjoy about the book is that it is naturally gluten-free without compromising texture. Can you share with us your own personal journey to gluten-free cooking?
Béa: The story is simple. About six years ago now, I started to show signs of gluten intolerance—even if I am not celiac. I wanted to feel better, so I took the challenge to learn to do what I know best, cook and bake, but gluten free. At first, I probably felt a bit overwhelmed, and perhaps intimidated too, but I learned to love it, and decided that I would cook gluten free moving forward as I preferred the flavors I discovered along the way. I don't like to focus on it though because my whole approach to cooking is rather to focus on creating simple and beautiful everyday dishes. They happen to be gluten free.
Aran: What do you see happening in your professional career? What would you like to see happen?
Béa: Of course, I'd love to write another book as I have a lot of recipe ideas. And now, I am currently making great steps to developing more of my food styling and photography career. So I couldn't be happier.
Aran: Your cooking style is rooted in French cuisine yet it is very eclectic. When did you start discovering the East and other cultures that have influenced you so much?
Béa: I've always loved to travel since I was a child. I lived in New Zealand for two years when I was a young adult. From there, I traveled to islands and countries around. That alone fed my curiosity for other food cultures. Since food is definitely one of my favorite "activities", so to speak, I could not help but make notes wherever I went. My cooking style is French-rooted because naturally, this is what I know the best, but I love to create dishes that are inspired by all of the foods and ingredients I've discovered throughout my travels.
Aran: If you could cook just one 4-course dinner for friends from this book what would it be?
Béa: I would start with the fennel and green pea soup with wasabi-flavored whipped cream and sautéed shrimp, or the mille-feuille of shrimp, grapefruit and avocado. Then we'd make a risotto (gorgonzola and pear with toasted walnuts) with a side salad, and to finish, maybe the apple and pear verrines or the hazelnut chocolate Molten cakes—because anything chocolate is a winner in my eyes.
Aran: The styling and photography are also such important elements in the book and your work in general, what do you take into account when deciding how to style and shoot a recipe? How do you approach that aspect of the job?
Béa: I follow my instinct, really. When I start a photo shoot, I don't necessarily have an idea of the end result for the pictures. But my workflow is simple. I take into account colors and shapes of the ingredients/dish I am shooting. Once I have designed the recipe, I build the images slowly around that. It's really a trial process. One that keeps moving. On set and once the food is ready, I compose the image by constantly moving the objects/prop while checking through the camera viewer. Until I reach a composition that looks harmonious in my eyes. I want to tell a story with a picture. An emotion. In the end, the images reflect my sense of aesthetics, the colors, shapes and forms that I find harmonious.
Aran: What advice would you give to those looking to write a book themselves?
Béa: It depends on the angle of the book. But surely, I'd advise not wanting to squeeze everything you want to write inside a first book, because the chances that it won't fit are high. Instead, find the right balance following a clear outline.
Béa was kind enough to share two copies of her book with us. So if you would like to win a copy of "La Tartine Gourmade: Recipes for an inspired life", please leave a comment between now and Sunday February 12 at 4pm EST to enter this giveaway.
Béa's book will remain on my "handy cookbook shelf" for a long time as I foresee it.
And I believe you will love it too.

"Long-term interchange commitments can affect the competitive environment for years to come," noted the agency. "The goal of the disclosures is to encourage transactions that are in the public interest, while ensuring that the agency, as well as other interested parties, have sufficient information to judge whether competitive issues require detailed examination."
An interchange recommitment limits the ability or incentive of a purchaser or lessee of a rail line to interchange traffic with railroads other than the line's parent carrier. The board's rules currently require that a party seeking board authority to sell or lease a line disclose an interchange commitment in the transaction. The board's proposed rule would require a party to include with its initial filing additional information on any interchange commitment's impact on shippers and on the purchaser or lessee railroad.

Be sure and tell them to slow down and just pass the ball when they get up by 2! Then, take out the varsity and put in the reserves!!
They don't want to embarrass the other team!

I don't think that will be a problem for two reasons tonight.
1) Monte Vista has a by far better coach than Amador.
2) I doubt the MV girls will quit the way Amador did if they get behind by a few goals.
Maybe the AV girls are tired of playing for their coach and that's a big factor. You tell me since you appear to be a know all.
a resident of Birdland

Foothill, maybe the #1 team, but you
need to show some class in the EBAL.
Beating a team 9-0 shows only one thing: TRASH!
These girls need to me able to show
respect to other in order to survive the
real world.
a resident of Vineyard Hills
on Jan 23, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Hey Foothill coach,
A little advice when you're up by 5:
1. Take out your starters
2. No shots on goal unless you use your head.
3. Swap forward and defenders.
9-0 was a little excessive.
The coach needs to take some responsiblity here.
a resident of Vineyard Hills
on Jan 23, 2009 at 6:36 pm
They were playing Amador, the girls all know each other, they weren't playing a bunch of strangers. You don't let up against your cross town rival. Is it possible that the reserves did play and maybe they scored half the goals? It's not really fair to give them their rare chance to play but then tell them to go easy and not score.
I'm sure half the Amador girls have been on a club team that has won 9-0 before. They aren't babies. There are lots of ways to contain the scoring but sometimes there is nothing you can do. If you have a wide open shot in front of the goal, it is even more insulting to the other team if you don't take it. In some games where one team just isn't on their game that day and making lots of mistakes, there's not much you can do.
I wasn't there, I don't know the details, but no matter what, it's not a big deal. They are the #1 team in the country, what did you expect, a close game?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

So, it is okay for Granada to beat teams 16-0 and 13-0 but when a legit team (like Foothill) comes in and plays to their potential you want to trash them and the coach - HA! They beat Bishop O'Dowd 8-0 in the Tri Valley classic, I didn't hear the whiners then. These girls have earned their number 1 ranking and deserve the recognition - give the whiners some tissue.
a resident of Birdland

Congrats on a great season.
I have see everyone play and I
do believe this team is one of
the greatest teams to come out
of the EBAL.
Please take some responsibility
when you play. Although your
coaches may not have the class
to not slaugher teams, I do
believe you girls can respect
other teams.
Keep up the effort!!!

Dons Throw Their Hats in the Ring, Pepper Newark Memorial 7-0
This is from the Amador web site. I guess if Amador peppers someone else it is OK. If it is Foothill peppering Amador it is unsportsmanlike conduct! Give me a break. I have kids that have played for both schools and both soccer coaches, and the bottom line is that Foothill just wanted it more. Foothill coach emptied his bench and made sure all girls played. When we were Amador parents, I remember games that Amador never put in a sub the entire game, the coach was just after the win. This is High school not pre-school. The kids that play at this level are serious competitors. Foothill could have passed the ball around the whole second half and made Amador chase them for the ball to keep the score down, but how humiliating would that have been. Either way the result is the same. You win some, you lose some it is all about being part of the game. When you lose bad, then that is a sign that you need to work harder to achieve your goal, not whine and degrade the team that beat you.
a resident of Pleasanton Valley

Amador fans and parents need wake up to the facts. The real problem is the Amador coach (principal) Bill Coupe. Many of the rage players go to Foothill to play soccer because Bill Coupe is the Amador coach. Some of the present players on Foothill's starting sqaud have siblings at Amador. One lives 2 blocks from Amador. There are a few good professional rage coaches that are ready and willing to take over the high school program at Amador. The foothill girls program is far ahead of Amador's. Amador girls and parents deserve a good coach that will work with the local club, not against it like Bill Coupe does, to help develope their daughters soccer skills. All these girls have grown up in the Rage club and learned how to play good soccer, ball control, passing , multipal formations and much more. Amador's present coahing staff is not up to this task. Amador's current team as well as past teams have had plenty of talented players. Their teams are very successful outside the EBAL. If they want to keep up in the EBAL,( one of the strongest leagues in the country) they need to hire a new head coach.
Sad but true. Good luck to all the local kids!!!!

What this Foothill senior group and the Pleasanton Rage U18 team has going is really special. Foothill HS ranked #1 in the nation for high schools and their Rage U18 team has played for the national club championship and has a chance to do it again this year. We probably won't see a group of this many talented Pleasanton kids for a long time if ever. AKA the "dream team" and yes they are alot of fun to watch.

It's a cross-town rival who beat us last year and messed up our season, of course we wanted revenge. We've worked so hard and have been second best the past 3 years and now our senior year, we're not letting any team stand in our way of what we want. This is ridiculous that all of these people are stressing over this one game. Don't you have anything better to do than thrive on a loss in HIGH SCHOOL sports? It's in the past and we can't change it, but if we could.. we wouldn't!

Didn't Amador's boys soccer team run off like 70 straight wins in the late 70s early 80s. Was anybody complaining then? Should have they given the rest of the EBAL a chance? Groups of players like this come along once in a great while. Enjoy it. This is definitely not the equivalent to 100-0. Foothill is just very good, top to bottom.

Every Monday, our man Justin Fisher will break down the weekend that was for various Leaf prospects worldwide. Last week's report can be found here.
Things have gone from bad to worse for Ryan Rupert, one of two Leafs' 6th round picks in this past draft. Still without a goal this season, Rupert was on a 7-game pointless drought before injuring his shoulder in London's 6-3 loss to Windsor on Thursday night.
Rupert is expected to miss 4-6 weeks of action, and will now likely miss his opportunity to suit up for Team OHL in the Canada-Russia Subway Super Series.
More on the injury front: Skellefteå AIK defenceman Petter Granberg will be out of action until the new year thanks to collarbone surgery. According to this Swedish report the Leafs chose surgery for Granberg in hopes to get him back on the ice as quickly as possible. Granberg, a 4th round pick in 2010, signed a three-year entry level deal with the Leafs back in May.
Hey, how about some good news? Connor Brown just can't seem to stop scoring goals. In fact, he's got 8 goals in his last 6 games. With 21 points in 18 games, Brown is playing well above his 6th-round draft status, and seems to have developed some chemistry playing alongside OHL phenom Connor McDavid. A sign of things to come in Leaf land? (No, it's not.)
Tyler Biggs had a solid Sunday evening, scoring once and adding 3 assists in a 5-2 Oshawa victory over Kingston. Biggs now has 19 points in 19 games, but for fear of appearing either too Pro-Biggs or Anti-Biggs, I'm just going to say "cool beans" and move on all nonchalant-like.
Remember when I lamented over Guelph's Garret Sparks up-and-down weekend last week? Well, this weekend showed marked improvement – Sparks was only pulled once in three outings. To be fair, two strong performances against Oshawa on Friday (44 saves on 45 shots) and London on Sunday (26 saves on 27 shots) will help him make a case for his inclusion on Team USA's World Junior roster.

Soon after Matthew Broderick starred in the 1983 movie "WarGames," Congress passed the precursor to what is known today as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). When initially passed, this ominous-sounding statute was designed to criminally punish individuals who misused computer technology to obtain national security secrets or personal financial records or hacked into government computers (à la Broderick's character). Today, this statute has been amended to protect against fraud and related activities in connection with access devices and computers, and to provide civil remedies. Put another way, the CFAA is to computers what trespassing and burglary are to real property.
The CFAA sprouts up fairly often in trade secrets cases. This likely stems from several roots. First, the CFAA provides easy access to federal court. Second, as companies often store their confidential data on computers, the CFAA extends liability without having to actually prove that the data or information misappropriated is confidential or is protected as a trade secret. Finally, the CFAA provides for injunctive relief. One challenge, however, to asserting a CFAA claim is the absence of any uniform interpretation of the statute by the various circuits. Until the Supreme Court steps in, the viability of a statutory claim in a particular circumstance can depend on the locale where the case is to be filed.
In plain English, the relevant sections of the CFAA apply when someone intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access. Completely clear and understandable? Let's ask a few simple questions.
In this era of hand-held electronics, is a smartphone a computer? What about a traditional cell phone? What about an X-box, Nintendo, Leapster or other video game? Absolutely. Even websites have been found to fit within the definition of a computer. Recent case law supports the proposition that virtually everything that contains a microchip is a "computer." Simply put, although likely not intended by Congress, the statutory definition encompasses modern coffee makers, watches, microwave ovens, children's toys, heating and air conditioning units, and a plethora of other modern-day appliances.
Moving on, what constitutes accessing a computer "without authorization," or "exceeding authorized access"? This issue, which is a threshold question to establishing a CFAA violation, is one of the most hotly litigated issues, and federal courts are literally all over the map in answering. The applicable legislative history suggests that Congress anticipated that those who exceed their authority are likely to be corporate insiders with some rights to the computer, and those who act without authorization are likely to be outsiders with no rights. Recent opinions, however, have blurred the lines between the two.
One line of decisions has imposed liability based on an individual's wrongful use of information to which the individual otherwise had access. Federal circuits following this line of reasoning have imposed liability on individuals in situations involving a breach of an employer's policies or contractual agreements with an employer, or a duty of loyalty by the individuals. Other circuits take a different and stricter view of the CFAA, rejecting the notion that the act is a federal data misappropriation or misuse statute. Instead, these courts have held that if access had been authorized in any way, there can be no liability notwithstanding any improper use of the information.
The implications of these differences can be outright dramatic, if not draconian. Because the CFAA also imposes both civil and criminal liability, under the former approach employees located in those circuits may find themselves subject to civil and possibly even criminal penalties for violating their employers' confidentiality policies. In circuits adopting the latter interpretation, the CFAA may be far less relevant in civil litigation.
Another element of a CFAA civil claim is a "loss to one or more persons during any one-year period … aggregating at least $5,000 in value." As with the access issue, courts are diverging on what constitutes a "loss." Costs can include investigating the computer for damage (i.e., a forensic analysis), remedying the damage to a computer or to files stored on the computer, or losing computer function until a repair can be arranged. However, losing revenue due to a former employee's transfer of trade secrets or the value of the misappropriated trade secret information are generally not considered losses. The case law on this point continues to evolve, which means further uncertainty for the near future.
Statistically speaking, computer fraud either already has been or will be an issue for most businesses in the coming years. New and more innovative threats are literally developing every day. Business decision makers often don't appreciate the magnitude of the problem, and few corporate boards annually review company controls and policies to help protect against information technology privacy and security risks.
At this point in time, the CFAA provides a framework within which losses associated with computer fraud and abuse may be remedied. But at the same time, everyday activities may be caught within the ambit of the CFAA, as the courts do not offer clear and uniform guidance as to the boundaries between activities that are permissible and those that are not. The best that inside counsel can do is to stay tuned as the laws in this area continues to evolve.

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by jace112, Sep 18, 2012.
would you have preferred "98 10 chars"?
Maybe...but that's why companies have various sticks and different lines - to cater to different players.
He might have played his last match on tour(coach said) against Simon unfortunately:cry:
9 months off
Wow, I was really looking forward to seeing him play well again. :/
Not done yet
Big relief
Tennis needs players with personality like in the old days
I agree. Say what you will about Monfils, but he is one of the more entertaining players to watch.
Source ! Pictures !
Gamma Big Bubba Razr will change the game. Dr. Ivo + Big Bubba = total devastation.
Do you have any more info on this- I do not speak French, but do not hear the word 'Asics' mentioned!
It's a joke...they resigned with Prince weeks ago.
Monfils in his Asics using Wilson
me likey! the asics gear looks sweet! monfils needs something flashy!
So... Is that really the new blade or a PJ?
Pj looks like h19 to me
Naah man It's not new blade it's h19 painted like one funny thing is its the throat that gives it up, it's easy to spot once you see both up close h19 has more of a y throat ala prestige and blade has more of a v throat
His opponent today on the other hand (brands) is using a new blade
There is no way that racquet is a blade or even wilson, you can tell by looking at the head shape.
Interesting: Brands switched from [K] Pro Open (100sq in) to Blade 98 - did anyone notice that ?
Monfils with Wilson and Asics looks really cool! That shirt is awesome !
But I guess la monf sweats a lot in his new apparel :mrgreen:
Agreed...To me it looks like he went back to Head with a Wilson PJ??
Ahhh newbies...@cknobman and @babolat king
if you guys know what h19 looks like you would not be writing silly posts like that
Please...the soap box is yours, impress us with your knowledge of racquet molds, since our opinions are silly.
You could always try the search function but Wilson H19 mold is a copy of Prestige MP.
Please write more since you haven't embarrassed yourself already here...
Monfils Ad for Asics
How come he is still using Prince here?
Sorry here's the link
Im sorry? I cant post opinions of what we think a racquet looks like or may be? Just because you have more post doesnt give you entitlement to belittle another posters opinion.
Thank you!!
Because AD was made before his new contract with Wilson.
Ok so it looks like it could be a H19 mold.
But still my opinion was not silly because a. its most definitely not a blade, and b. while it could be made by wilson at its base the racquet is a copied head mold.
Dont worry about it; its all speculation anyway. Some posters act like know it alls and its pretty annoying sometimes.
Seems to me you are the one acting like you know it all...
I already told you -- stop before you embarrass yourself even more...
Ok, you win.
What are Monfils' specs?
Also is his stick a Prestige or a Wilson copy?(h19)
Love the Blade line. My kid has a Blade 26, which weighs a hefty 9.4oz strung. Don't think there's a heavier 26-in racket these days. The ball comes off his racket flatter and heavier than from his APD 26.
Can you post the link for the thread, or the specs...

A few bits of information were revealed in today's liveblog.
Source: Marvel NOW! Next Big Thing Liveblog
Brian Michael Bendis (writer) joined editor Nick Lowe for a little chat about the upcoming Marvel Now! Uncanny X-Men.
The ending Bendis' All-New X-Men's first arc will pave the way for the start of the new Uncanny X-men. The mission of the uncanny crew of Cyclops, Magneto, Emma Frost, and Magik will be to save new mutants around the world. These new mutants are the result of the events of Avengers Vs. X-Men, and not all of these new characters will be using their powers for good. Some may not want the power and want to get back at the world. Coming up with new powers "is hardest thing" Bendis said. He's been collecting ideas for powers for years and now he is pulling out that file for this. The Uncanny X-Men will take control of the Weapon X base to use as their center of operations and school, and from something negative to something positive.
The team has gone through a large change in their lives. Cyclops is the face of the "mutant revolution". Cyclops' goal is full redemption. Emma's new costume is not just for the guys, it reflects how she sees herself. Magneto is trying to make up for what happened with his kids, in a way, with Scott and Emma. Magik has more control over Limbo and other aspects of her power.
The book will have a "Doctor Doom level" villain that is a surprise. He doesn't they've been a villain in X-Men before.
Bendis believes one of the reasons that Avengers and New Avengers were successful was because they were so different. He is taking a similar approach here. Unlike All-New X-Men, they are not planning to reveal too much about the title before it is released, as they are trying to have some mystery. Uncanny and All-New will intersect once in a while (see All-New #9 and Uncanny #3), but the two teams are far apart in many ways.
Next year is the 50th anniversary. "We have a plan" Bendis promised.
Marvel NOW! Uncanny X-Men starts in February 2013 with two issues by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Chris Bachalo. David Marquez will take the artist's reins for the second arc.

by Grayson » Tue Dec 11, 2012 8:12 pmI will probably check out the first issue of this book but I can't really say that I am excited about it. I don't like the new visor that Cyclops is wearing, I don't like the idea of splitting up yet another couple in Scott and Emma, and I really don't have any faith that Bendis can create interesting new characters. In fact, I would say that the only real reason that I even want to try this book is because I like Cyclops, Emma, and Magneto and the rest of the Marvel NOW! launch has been so good that I at least want to give the flagship X-Title a chance.
by GHERU » Tue Dec 11, 2012 8:18 pmI am so looking forward to this!
by superfictious » Tue Dec 11, 2012 8:23 pmI like the "Brotherhood meets Thunderbolts" feel.
by IvCNuB4 » Tue Dec 11, 2012 8:24 pm
Guess that explains the exposed cleavage, abs and thigh-slits
So when Scott releases his optic blast now will it be in an x pattern ?
by McMonkey Nut » Tue Dec 11, 2012 8:43 pmI'll give it a shot, I love Bachalo, and Magneto, so thats enough to at least give it a chance.
by TimDrake'sDumbWings » Tue Dec 11, 2012 9:20 pmI thought the Cyclops X-visor was kind of retarded. But looking at the first cover above, I realized that Bachalo draws it to look sort of like Magneto's helmet. That would definitely fit with Bendis' schtick about characters' costumes reflecting what's going on internally. As long as Bachalo (and not Quesada) is drawing it, I'm down!
by Grayson » Tue Dec 11, 2012 9:30 pm
From what we know so far Bachalo will be working on the first arc of the title. David Marquez will take over the second arc. If the book is good enough for me to stick around, I am really hoping that Bachalo at least work on every other story arc, like he was doing with Wolverine and the X-Men.

Batwoman is not complaining
by HNutz » Tue Dec 11, 2012 10:52 pm
Me too.
What's the deal with this and All New X-Men? Is "All New" a continuing series or just the lead-in to Uncanny?
by Lord Ice » Tue Dec 11, 2012 11:40 pm
One would hope so, cause the first issue of All-New dealing with Cyclops and his crew was pretty good. But once they brought in the ones from the past, the book plummeted.
by Draco x » Wed Dec 12, 2012 12:31 amI hope the Magneto-lite villain they're talking about is Sultan Magus as I can see him wiping the floor with Scott and co.
by Draco x » Wed Dec 12, 2012 12:32 am
I do hope the past x-men go back to their timeline very soon and are never mentioned in the present again.
by Draco x » Wed Dec 12, 2012 12:33 am
They split Scott and Emma up? Ah well, never liked them as a couple anyways. Maybe now Namor can fish-hump her like he always wanted to do from the get-go.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to remind everyone that we have our bi-monthly work party this coming Saturday. This is an especially important work party as for the first time we will be working with a city employee who will be help us work on the course. This is our first opportunity to really demonstrate to the city the amount of support we have for disc golf in San Francisco. The ability of the club to get people to come out on a saturday and volunteer will demonstrate to the city that we are very committed to disc golf in San Francisco. This ability to show our passion and commitment to disc golf is key if we hope to see further expansion of disc golf in San Francisco.
Areas we will be working on:
Planting (200 plants)
Installing sleeve for practice basket
Clearing of debris from the big storm in January
Back filling in front of tee pads
Removing of weeds that the Parks Department asked for
We will be starting around 8am and will be working till at least all the plants have been planted. This will be completely dependent on the level of turnout. If you can't make it out in the morning, please come for whatever time you can.
As always, the course will be CLOSED during the work party.
We will be providing LUNCH for all the morning workers.
This is an exciting time for the club and disc golf in San Francisco. We have a chance on Saturday to take a very big step toward seeing disc golf further expand in San Francisco, so I hope to see everyone there.
Jeffery Bowling
SFDGC President

There are
currently no rules set in place as it relates to the privacy of individuals and
how their personal information is used and shared on the internet.
A new privacy bill introduced on Tuesday would establish
rules requiring accountability from internet companies that utilize the private
information of individuals.
The bill would establish a regulatory framework for gathering personal data
about users on sites like Facebook and Google.
Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) are spearheading a
measure that would force companies to explain how they collect information and
what they do with it.
"Consumers want to shop, browse and share information in an environment
that is respectful of their personal information," McCain said at a news
conference. "Our legislation sets forth a framework for companies to
create such an environment and allows businesses to continue to market and
advertise to all consumers, including potential customers."
The new bill, backed by the Obama administration, may also
make it harder for sites to use personal information to target and create
profiles on individual internet users.
The Commercial
Privacy Bill of Rights [PDF] would provide consumers with more control over their
personal information and how that data is collected and shared with third
Companies would need an individual's consent to collect names, e-mail addresses,
and credit card numbers if the bill becomes law. They would also need
consent to collect information about religion, sexual identity, medical
conditions and other sensitive information. An offer to opt out of data collection would be
required for users as well.
"Our bill seeks to respect the ability of businesses to advertise, while
also protecting consumers' personal information," said McCain.

I'm trying to send two strings from the NXT to the PC to display a header and a sensor reading value. Here's the code on the NXT:
Code: Select all
DataInputStream dis = btc.openDataInputStream();
DataOutputStream dos = btc.openDataOutputStream();
while(!Button.ESCAPE.isPressed()) {
//send sensor data
int c = (int)compass.getDegrees();
int s = (int)sonar.getDistance();
dos.writeChars("compass: " + Integer.toString(c) + '\n');
dos.writeChars("sonar: " + Integer.toString(s) + '\n');
And on the PC:
Code: Select all
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(os);
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is);
while(true) {
try {
System.out.println(dis.readLine() + ", " + dis.readLine() + " | " + i);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("IO Exception reading bytes:");
And this is my current output on the PC (note the extra spaces between characters):
Code: Select all
c o m p a s s : 2 1 4 , s o n a r : 4 7
As you might guess, the structure of my program is generally based on BTSend/BTReceive. I tried making the modifications discussed in this thread with no avail. Any thoughts on why I might be getting these extra spaces? I am assuming the problem is on the NXT side.
The larger view of my problem:
What I'm trying to do is send a continuous stream of sensor data from my robot to the PC. I'd like to be able to send the data as just two ints, the compass reading and the sensor value. But, I don't know of any way to differentiate between the two on the PC (assuming they arrive in alternating order isn't a sufficient solution). The reason I'm writing the sensor readings as a string is so I can parse them on the PC side. Is there any way to embed some kind of "metadata" in the BT transmission itself so I don't have to parse strings?
In RobotC, I would direct the different sensor readings to different mailboxes on the NXT, or use "arguments" to specify what type of data was in the bluetooth transmission. As it stands, I'm not sure of any way to do this in Lejos without simply creating multiple connections for each sensor -- which is clearly a suboptimal solution.
Thanks in advance for your help. :)

E-10 rear ... E-10 front.... E-07 rear ... E-07 front
qiero mas ???
thanx for the Information ...
First .... I marked the wrong things red.
have a lock at this.... the period to establish new compounds was 4 years ... and it´s EUROPEAN LAW... this declaration has to be made every year after you declared to follow the rule... we made it since 2007 ...
Every manufacturer has to follow this ....did you ever heard about a sales stop of Michelin in EU ?
.... For sure Heidenau found passioned dealers....
So if someone wanted the E07 in 150/70/17 how would they go about purchasing one?
+1, I too would like to know. I am currently using a similar tire, but I am very unimpressed with it, although it's expensive, it should be good
Also, OP, don't take this the wrong way, but your way of promoting these tires rubbed me the wrong way. I am aware that you know more about tires than I or others do, but showing off doesn't attract you clients. Educating them it will...
I came to your thread because I am genuinely interested in these tires. However, there is little information about them, and what there is seems to be provided after numerous requests. I too don't want to check a zillion websites in order to find information that it should be in this thread. I know it's hard to make everyone feel at home, but how about you try ?
Lastly, have you considered making a true-ish dual-sport 120/17 front tire? There's a potentially big market out there.
Yes, I want to know also.
Hello Ko ... I like to take your post to answer.
First I have to apologize for some facts.
- it will take some time to answer ´cause I´m on business trips very often.( but I will answer )
- the current ambiguous situation
- the lack of clear structures
-..... for starting troubles
- rude kind of my English ( ... it´s not my mothers tongue... and the last time I practice was with US-soldiers )
Unfortunately the sources to purchase our products are limited.... but it should be changed,..
The only way right now is to start requests to the ( independent ) U.S. subsidiary . To show them clearly there is a market for the products....
They need to order tires in advance... it´s not that simple to make a forecast.
By now .. the only way...
I understand that´s a lack of a common information platform... You right...
What I´m trying to do is to collect the necessary informations.We all tired of advertising an promises that never kept... correct me if I´m wrong.
Eakin is right when he say .... pictures... pictures ... pictures... first hand informations ....
User customers are around the world ... but having no feedback channel ... our fault... it has to be changed ...
I tried to collect them and to present it on one platform... (unfortunately) it´s facebook.... ( see my signature) ... As well the Australians gave some important informations right here in advrider... )
He´s also right when he say .... worned tires are more interesting then new....
Please note ..even it doesn´t look like that .... all postings here are appreciated and will help me to understand what´s in the riders scene in different countries.
i've run the mitas e09 dakar 140/80-17 on my f800gs. loved the tire - it was great in all conditions. wore fast as do all true knobbies on the f800gs. i've even burnt through a heidi pretty quick. partial problem is lengthy tarmac rides to/from the dirt. that is a problem no tire manufacturer can fix for me unfortunately. another part of the problem is my inability to control my throttle hand. ok, so maybe that isn't a problem per se...
who are the independent dealers? i'm confused as to why mitas can't approach select venues in the us and say, "there is demand for our tires in the us and we'd like to partner with you to carry some of our product line".
motorcycle-superstore, revzilla, rockymountainatv, motosport, dennis kirk, bike bandit, etc. all big vendors with many thousands of products. i'll be honest and say i have no idea how the manufacturer/distributor/reseller relationships work but i can't believe that it is entirely a bottom up process (reseller has to seek out the manufacturer).
i'm also kind of eyeballin' that e07. i like the tread pattern; it looks as though it might do well on the street but still open enough to handle some mud; something the heidi k60 doesn't do worth a damn.
finding a reseller is not so easy... We cannot sell for a price of a chinese tire.
Were can I find these in Germany?
It's nice you have all that info on Facebook... luckily Facebook is not all there is Hence, I'd suggest doing here what you're doing there, after all the more online presence the better, although it comes at a cost for you. Allienating one group over another is more costly though Word of mouth here would go a long way in making more inroads in a market which would use your tires if there was access to them.
If the following sounds silly to you, please ignore it, it' s not my area of expertise, but I'll give it a shot because I need a better selection of tires, such as the E07/10. Maybe this could be a way to convince more dealers that your tires are worth selling. For example, sponsoring some riders/clubs/events/rallies/etc with tires, and showing that your tires are longer lasting, better grip, etc, might convince dealers that people who spend over $150 for a tire such as TKC/K60 would pay the same for your tires. In the end, initially, it all comes down to money given that the brand is not all that well known by most people in North-America.
good to know...
When I started reading this thread I was interested in their products.
Too bad getting more information and direct responses is like pulling teeth :huh
Think I'll move on
We have 6 distributors in Germany who are able to provide the tires to your dealer.
In theory ... every dealer can order.

@Dan ... stay here and you will be informed...
it´s not silly ... we NEED to have a complete overview over all products including all technical informations..even in the U.S.
4me ... facebook is the easiest way to start.
i don't think anyone expects Mitas to sell tires for the price the Chinese do.
i never said that. i just pointed out how in the 130-17" size, mefo explorers are $150 while other popular ones are $50 range. my point was hopefully seeing the E07 in 130-17" for around $100 range. I can tell that your E07 rear is your best tire for the ADV market. The 2 most important sizes are
-130-17" (tube)
-150-17" (tubeless)
this covers 75% of ADV bikes used in the US.
Facebook is just one of many place to market your tires. Why stick with one thing? That makes ZERO sense. We use all methods possible:
Maybe you should take note and work on getting these tires easily available in the US!
In fact, ADV is a MUCH better place to concentrate your efforts in those tires i've mentioned above, as ADV is filled with riders actively looking for better tires.
p.s. Thanks for posting those pictures. Now let's seem them mounted on bikes!
I'd suggest there are a lot of riders who would be interested in 18" rears
What bike has a 130/17?
Hi Mitas,
When will the E-07 Dakar be released?
true on the 18"
you serious about not knowing which bikes use 130-17"?
650gs (single)
as a whole these 3 bikes represent a HUGE chunk of the US dual sport touring market...ideal E07 candidates.
That´s the point ...
@OffAgain .... after finishing the field tests.Scheduled for this year.

Peter Gabriel just announced, via his website, a new app that will allow fans to remix songs from his classic 1986 album, So. The "MusicTiles" app is due in the Apple App store on January 8.
As part of the celebration around the 25th anniversary of So (including a box set and tour), Gabriel approached "RoboProfessor" Henrik Hautop Lund (who is actually a professor of electrical engineering at the Technical University of Denmark, and who is known for combining robotics and artificial intelligence to create ways of allowing "non-expert users" access to new technology). to create "a So 2.0 expereience that allows fans to create MusicTiles mixes" according to a statement on Gabriel's website.
The So MusicTiles app includes songs of the original album — including "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes" and "Big Time" — but also contains new versions of each song in different, modern styles (including electronica and industrial) for the fans "to play with and develop according to their own individual taste."
Gabriel said, "I have always loved the idea that music and art should be fully open media from which no one is excluded. They are languages that anyone can learn to speak and definitely not the exclusive province of the high priests armed with 'Talent.'"
Watch a demonstation of the app by Lund below.

Tips and advice to help become a solutions provider.
By Craig Miller
When we founded our company in early 1994, we were simply a print provider. The prints we provided were digital, large-format inkjet. In those days, just printing in high resolution (300 dpi) and large format (up to 36-inches wide) was a big deal. It allowed us to more than double our sales annually for four consecutive years. There are still and may always be many large-format digital printing companies that are first and foremost print providers. Some continue to be very successful at it.
It didn't work out for us, however. I wish there were a name for what our company has become. I'm still introduced to people as a printer, and I feel uncomfortable with that description. I guess I think of myself more as a graphic-solutions provider. Yes, digital printing is still at the core of our business – but strangely, it may be the least important component of our sales.
The changing market
All print businesses are market-driven. We either serve an existing demand for our products, or we create one. The initial business plan for my own company was to print posters and backlits for the Las Vegas casino market. It was a great ride while it lasted.
We did unbelievably well until the economic principle of supply and demand reared its ugly head. In 1994, we had two or maybe three true competitors in the city. Then, competitors began cropping up, and the supply side changed. Eventually, franchises, storefront sign shops, and dozens of other small to medium-sized independent printers dotted the city. To add insult to injury, many core customers in the Vegas casino and tradeshow industry adopted in-house print departments. Competitive forces radically changed our market (and I doubt our experience is unique).
Various other factors came into play as well, including the fact that the printer manufacturers have developed great products in the past decade. These printers have gotten easier to master, making it possible for all print providers to produce really good-looking images.

* Prices may differ from that shown
When I used to wear contact lenses I suffered regularly from eye infections which I blamed on the contacts but since I have had my eyes lasered and no longer wear contact lenses I still get the odd eye infection which causes my eye to become tender and sore and swell almost shut. I have been to the doctor and he says there is no reason why I should be getting them and that I am just unlucky. It isn''t as though I get them all the time but even once a year is more than enough as it is both uncomfortable and horrible to look at too. I used to wait to see the doctor and then get a prescription but now I just pop into the pharmacy and buy some Goldeneye ointment as this works the best for me and I don''t need a prescription to buy it. You can only buy it from pharmacies at the discretion of the pharmacist but I have never had any trouble being given it as they take one look at my swollen eye and just hand it over. The ointment comes in a tiny little tube and costs 5.95. The active ingredient is Chloramphenicol which is an antibiotic used to treat conjunctivitis. The ointment is a very greasy one thanks to the fact that it is also made up of paraffin and wool fat. You use it by squeezing a couple of drops into the infected eye on the tear duct and then rolling your eyeball around so that the ointment can cover the entire eyeball. You have to be careful when putting the ointment in so as to not spread the infection to the tube. Once you put the ointment in your eye it feels a little bit uncomfortable as it is thick compared to drops so you can feel it on your eyeball and it does blur your vision for a few minutes. You continue to use the ointment 3 or 4 times a day for a maximum of 5 days. It doesn''t get to work straight away but after a day or so of using it my eye is always much better. The pain subsides quickly and the swelling comes down significantly after about day two of using it. I have used all sorts of things to help when I get conjunctivitis and this is by far the most effective and I find that it is much better and quicker acting than eye drops are and I wouldn''t go back to using them again now that I use this instead.
The instructions tell you to squeeze out about 1cm into the lower lid where it joins the eye but do not let the nozzle touch any part of your eye. However, the ointment automatically curls back and around the nozzle EVERY TIME! And it's so sticky you have to rub the nozzle against your lid to break it off. One tube is supposed to last both eyes 5 days. With 90% ending up in a tissue and 5% in my eyelashes, it's no surprise that it was all gone in less than 3 days - and I was only using it one one eye!So now it's back to the chemist for something else before the infection flames up again.
Over the past year, for some reason I'm still unsure of, I've had several eye irritations, the most annoying of which have been styes. When I was younger, every few years I might get one tiny, irritating stye, but more recently, if and when I get one, they are much bigger, painful and a big irritation. The last big one I had (a large one that oozed goo overnight!) a few months ago was the one which prompted me to buy some of this Golden Eye ointment, which my mother recommended.
I paid £5.50 for my 4 gram tube from the chemists, as you can buy this over the counter. The tube is very small, so £5.50 is quite a lot, but my mum said this was what she'd always used if she had eye infections or irritations, and that it had always done the job well for her, so I tried it.
To use, you apply the ointment gently to the skin of the infected or irritated area 3 to 4 times a day - the instructions tell you to put it between the lower eyelid and eyeball, you just pull the lower eyelid down a bit, and then as you put the lid back, the cream will naturally spread on the inner eyelids and start to do it's work.
As I as using this for my stye, rather than something like conjunctivitis, I just dabbed a cotton bud of the pale yellow cream onto and around the stye. I also washed all my make up brushes, sharpened eye pencils etc, to get rid of any potential bacteria on there which was causing or could potentially spread the stye.
The ointment was soothing whenever it went on, and the next day, it already felt like my stye was reducing in size, and it was less painful. 3 days later and I could barely see the stye and the pain had gone completely, thanks to the ointment.
The only downsides to Golden Eye ointment are, firstly, that you are advised to throw the tube away after your infection has gone rather than keep it hanging around for future uses, because once open for weeks it could be contaminated with bacteria etc, and it wouldn't be great to put that on your eye. Also you can't use contact lenses for a minimum of 24 hours after finishing your treatment, which could be a pain for some people.
Overall, I found the ointment worked really well on my stye, and although I didn't need to use it for a full blown eye infection, I'd be happy to do so now I'm confident in it's healing abilities. Considering the discomfort my eye was in, I feel that this was worth the money and I'd happily buy it again in cases of eye infection or irritations like styes.
About two years or so ago I started to get eye infections which is something that I had never really had a problem with before other than the usual itchy sore eyes from wearing contacts. One night I went to bed with a really itchy eye and the next morning I woke up with it swollen and double it's normal size.
The tissue surrounding my eye was very tender to the touch and was so swollen that I had trouble seeing out of it. The most roubling ascpet for me was that they were also producing a horrible yellow discharge.
Obviously since I had never had an eye infection of this magnitude before I freaked out a little. After managing to convince the receptionist at the GP surgery to give me an emergency appointment I got in to see my GP who informed me it was a relatively common form of conjunctivitus which would clear up quite quickly with some medication. He wrote me a prescription and away I went to the chemist to collect it.
The prescription was for an ointment called Golden Eye. The ointment comes in a little tube which is only very small weighing 4 grams. You just need to apply the ointment to the eye 3 or 4 times daily and the infection should be cleared up within 5 days.
As my infection was centered around my tear duct I found applying the ointment pretty easy and I just squeezed a little on to a cotton bud and applied. I would be weary to put the actual tube near my eye not only in case it hurt but also in case I happened to spread the infection but the instructions do say to pull your lower eyelid down and apply 1cm of ointment to the space between the lower eyelid and eye.
The ointment is exactly that a thick yellow substance that is definatley more cream than drops and when you put it on your eye and blink a few times the ointment will spread a bit getting to work in fighting the infection. The ointment does cause a little blurring of the eye but I didn't find it stung or caused any other discomfort whatsoever.
I applied the ointment religiously and within the first 24 hours I already noticed an improvement. My eye was still really swollen and tender to the touch but the discharge was most definately less and within a couple of days the swelling started to come down and it no longer looked or felt so painful and tender.
Within the five days my eye had more or less completely cleared up with only a little residual swelling left but the actual infection was gone.
I was amazed with just how effective this ointment was. Although my eye infection was supposed to be quite common it certainly didn't feel or look like it was and I had expected a longer wait before I would see some improvement so I was pleasantly surprised that on day three although I still had the infection I felt I could go out in public again without people staring. It was also really easy to use and side effects for me were absolutely zero.
Even though I had never had an eye infection about six months later I got the exact same thing but this time in the other eye. I didn't bother going to the doctor this time and bought my Golden Eye ointment direct from the pharmasists instead and again it cleared up the infection in a speedy time.
A tube of Golden eye ointment will set you back around £5.50 for a 4g tube but this small tube will be more than enough to deal with an infection. You are supposed to discard the tube after your course so make sure you do as you don't want anything that has been opened for weeks or months near your eye.
The active ingredient is: 1% Chloramphenicol and you must not use the ointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You must also not use contact lenses for at least 24 hours after you have finshed your course of treatment.
In the past and for many years I have always used Optrex eye drops and their very useful eye bath system for treating eye infections. I stumbled upon the Golden Eye Ointment online after reading some positive opinions of the product. I suppose you could say I am now doing my bit in returing my opinions from my experience of the product.
Although i have used Optrex in the past, I gave the Golden Eye treatment a try because although I could cope well with taking eye drops and using the eye bath, it is never a great feeling and I just fancied a change to see what else there was out there. The 4 gram tube that the Golden Eye Ointment comes in lasts a long time, and although I havn't used a full tube yet, I have owned this tube for a while and am less than a quarter of the way through it. The instructions advise that you apply about 1cm of the ointment to the affected eye and to do this 3 or 4 times a day.
The ingredients to this product are very simple, Liquid paraffin, wool fat and yellow soft paraffin, the active ingredient being Chloramphenicol. The packaging also suggests the product 'is for acute bacterial conjunctivitis.' It can also be used for minor eye infections and irritations. I find the ointment a little easier to apply than the drops, as it can sometimes be difficult to apply the drops. As I hardly get eye infections, when using the drops it is something you are never prepared for, and the ointment is in my opinion more effective. Although I havn't had a serious eye infection, I have had ones that have lasted a number of days, and by using the ointment I can be sure that the treatment is getting to the right area.
I wouldn't put anybody off using the Golden Eye Ointment, especially if you are not too keen on using eye drops or the eye bath. A lot of eye infections get left due to the problems with treatment, but this is your sight we are talking about, so it is certainly worth taking seriously. The ointment is a little runny, which ensures it is simple to apply and I for one won't be rushing back to using eye drops after my experience of this product.
I got conjunctivitis and with a friend's advice started using camomile washes. It was getting better in the first two days of the washes, but not as fast as I wanted, so I went and Bought the GoldenEye ointment... On the second day of using the ointment my eye got worse than it was in the beginning. On the packed it says if it doesn't get better within two days, discontinue use.... basically it was a waste of money for me! I am going back to a good old camomile treatment.
I did not fine this product very good at all. The consistency is waxy which means it does not sit properly in a watery eye and It just slipped right out of my eye and made my face very greasy! I used more of the product than was necessary as it kept washing out of my eye and so it cost to much for what it did. It also meant I ran out after three days so my infection did not clear up. I think drops work alot better and this stuff really is a con! Would not recommend!
I had the luxury of having contracted conjunctivitis a month ago and needed an over the counter remedy. My girlfriend brought this back for me and quickly demanded the sum of £4.99, which I thought was a fairly reasonable price and I quickly set to work to mend my broken eye.
The first thing I noticed is that it got to work fairly quickly. By the end of the next day the results were noticeable. I think this is the main benefit. I like something which shows noticeable results as soon as possible and this certainly provided that.
Another benefit is the way it settles into your eye. With some remedies, it can leave your eye blurry for quite a while afterwards while it works itself in. This got to work straight away and the haziness lasts for a couple of minutes at the most. This is a benefit as it doesn't inconvenience you too much and lets you get on with your day and business shortly after rather than leave you staggering around reaching for things helplessly.
It's also got detailed instructions and friendly packaging explaining how to apply and all the things you need to know about it. It's handy to have this information incase anything goes wrong, or if there's anything that you're unsure about.
Furthermore, I do find that the applicator is quite handy, the applicator is designed so that it shoots a small stream of ointment out so you can get the maximum amount out straight into the eye and have the maximum effect.
That does bring me onto a downside though which is that you do have to push and squeeze quite hard in order to get the ointment out. This can be a little bit frustrating when you already have limited sight as it is and just making the cream a little bit easier to get out would be a huge bonus and make the situation easier.
Also, it can be a little messy. The cream is greasy and can leave you feeling with a greasy eye for sometime afterwards. This is just something I've noticed from trying other remedies in the past, but then again it does the job well so it's a small price to pay for something that works well.
Overall this is a great product, it can be messy to apply, and a pain to get out of the tube, but when it gets down to work it does the job, and it does it well meaning that the eye gets better quickly and you can carry on with day to day tasks sooner.
A while ago I got a minor problem with one of my eyes. I developed a lump on the inner lid of my eyelid that felt sore and sharply painful so I popped to the chemist to see what they could offer. The pharmicist had a quick look at the lump, which wasn't very visible but felt huge to me, and declared I had a small infected cyst that would benefit from some of this Golden Eye Ointment. I bought a tube for about £4.50 and came away humming Bond theme songs.
The tube is small, only 5g in size and it comes in a cardboard box with a larger piece of cardboard sticking out of the back that shows the eye you can see in the picture above. The active ingredient is dibrompropamidine isetionate which is an antiseptic and the leaflet tells us this ointment is used for conjunctivitis or blepharitis which is inflammation of the eyelid. If you have an allergy to the ingredients you obviously can't use this product and if you are pregnant, breast feeding or on any other medication you must tell the pharmacist but otherwise there are not many people who can't use this, even children can apparently.
Side effects are listed as possible allergic reactions such as itching and redness of the eyes and if this happens you must stop using the product and tell your pharmacist or GP, especially if your vision becomes impaired.
The tube has a screw lid and a pointed nozzle with a hole in it to squeeze the ointment out. It says to discard after 4 weeks of opening and to keep out of the reach of children. This I'm sure is so children don't eat it not because it's dangerous in their eyes.
So onto the ointment. To apply this you wash your hands then pull down the lower lid and squeeze half an inch onto your inner lower lid. Close your eyes and it mixes with the upper lid too so it covers both. The ointment is clear and squeezes out easily. The small tube and nozzle make it simple to hit the right area. Once it's in your eye and you've got it closed it suddenly feels like a big blob of vaseline! When you open your eyes it's like you've got a film of vaseline over the eye you've applied it to and vision is blurry for a few minutes while you blink and clear it off the eyeball itself. Driving would not be advisable for a few minutes as it really does mess up your vision!
After a few minutes your sight starts to clear again and the ointment settles into the inner lids. It does still feel greasy though and if you touch near your eye you will find an oily layer on the skin. For this reason it isn't a great idea to wear make up when using this, the oil will remove it and of course it could go into your eye and make matters worse so no slap girls!
The oiliness remains the whole time you are using this ointment and as you apply it morning and night you constantly have a wet looking eye. Not very attractive!
I found the first day it made no difference to my sharply painful lump and I was still squinting alot but by the second day I started to notice a big improvement. The pharmacist told me if it hadn't gone in 3 days to go to my GP so I was hoping to avoid this. By the end of the second day my eye just felt gritty and a little bit achey but the sharpness had gone. By day three it was completely painless and the lump was well on its way to disappearing. The lump itself took a few more days to completely go but the pain didn't return once I stopped using the ointment after day 3. It worked brilliantly for me and got rid of a painful problem quickly.
However, my partner got a cyst in his eyelid and decided to buy some of this but he left it for a week or so before he bought any and it didn't work for him so I would say you have to use it as soon after the onset of problems as possible for it to be effective.
Overall I'm very pleased with this ointment, it may look messy and feel greasy but it does the job in a couple of days if you use it promptly. It's a bit of a waste to have a 5g tube that you only use for a few days though, lots gets wasted because you have to throw it away after 4 weeks. I think it could do with being smaller. That's my only gripe though and as it worked I'm giving it 5 stars.

Jay-Z Raps an 'Open Letter' About Cuban Visit, President Obama + More [AUDIO]
In response to complaints that Jay-Z and Beyonce illegally vacationed in the communist, cigar-making country of Cuba (despite getting government permission to do so), Mr. Carter has responded in a rather disappointing way: with a whiny song called 'Open Letter.'
You can check out the audio below, in which Hova laments the uselessness of politicians — okay, as a whole, he's not wrong about that — and even sort of throws his pal President Obama under the proverbial bus.
Pointed lyrics include Jay taking aim at some politicos and their blatant overreaction to the Cuba sitch with the line, "Boy from the hood but got White House clearance / Sorry y'all, I don't agree with y'all appearance / Politicians never did sh– for me / Except lie to me, distort history / Wanna give me jail time and a fine / Fine, let me commit a real crime"
As for the Obama-specific rhymes: "Obama said chill, you gonna get me impeached / But you don't need this sh– anyway / Chill with me on the beach"
Maybe this means the bromance is over and Jay-Z is now an island of one.
Jay does, however, make an excellent point about how hypocritical the disdain for Cuba can be: "I'm in Cuba, I love Cubans / This communist talk is so confusing / When it's from China, the very mic that I'm using"
Look, as a rule, we're super pro-Hova around here, but surely there was a way to respond to all this hoopla that didn't involve bitching about the POTUS and petulant ranting in a manner reminiscent of Kanye West.
We expect it from Yeezy. But Mr. Carter? Dude. You're better than this.

But Wonder Boys senior Willie Kirkland took over the Duke Wells Center and didn't let it go until he hit a layup with 1.3 seconds to go in the game to give Arkansas Tech a 70-68 Great American Conference victory.
Kirkland, a senior from Graceville, Fla., finished the game with a career-high 31 points and 11 rebounds. He shot 12-of-20 from the field and 4-of-7 behind the 3-point line.
"If Willie Kirkland hits his first shot, look out," Karleskint said after the game. "He was disappointed in his effort Thursday (52-50 win over OBU), and I told him we really needed him to show up today. He was just tremendous. He was disappointed missing that cheap shot with 30 seconds left, but he made up for it in so many ways."
Henderson State (11-11, 6-10 GAC) led 67-57 with 5:47 remaining, but the Reddies didn't hit a field goal the rest of the way. Arkansas Tech (14-8, 11-5) closed the game with a 13-1 scoring run, and Kirkland was responsible for the last eight.
The Reddies beat Harding at Searcy on Thursday, and they almost got the Wonder Boys for their second straight win over the top two in the GAC. Instead, ATU took sole possession of first place in the men's division after the OBU Tigers beat the Bisons 60-56 across the street in Arkadelphia.
Jared Williamson of Russellville netted 11, and Bobby Hatchett notched 10 points for the Wonder Boys. Melvin Haynes and Andrew Ensley scored 17 points apiece for Henderson State.
Arkansas Tech took a 13-6 lead with 16:25 to go in the first half and maintained that margin until the 1:38 mark, when Ensley's tip tied the score, 36-36. Hatchett hit a fast-break layup on a fast break and later added a pair of free throws to give the Wonder Boys their 40-39 halftime lead. Kirkland netted 16 in the opening 20 minutes, shot 6-of-8 from the field and 4-of-6 behind the 3-point line.
"Bobby Hatchett, when he plays well, we've had our biggest wins," Karleskint said. "We need him to step up down the stretch."
Hayes nailed a 3-pointer to put the Reddies on top until the 1:06 mark, when Kirkland hit a layup to give ATU a 68-66 lead.
HSU's Denzel Lyles split a pair of free throws with 18 seconds to play and tied the score, 68-68. After Kirkland's last-second layup, he still had time to steal the ball when the Reddies tried to throw it in.
made a layup in the closing seconds of the game to give Tech the lead (70-68). In the final second of the game, the Reddies threw the ball in and Kirkland snatched it and held onto it as time ran out.
"That's what kind of happens when you get a lead like they (Reddies) did. You relax a little bit," Karleskint said. "We gave up 39 points in the first half, and we rarely give up 39 in 37 minutes. I was really disappointed in our energy and effort (in the first half). It looked like we were sleep walking out there. We're lucky to come out of here with a win."
The Wonder Boys will host the University of Arkansas at Monticello Boll Weevils at 7:30 p.m. Thursday inside Tucker Coliseum. Karleskint said his players, as well as the Golden Suns, deserve a big and loud crowd.
"We're going to need a loud crowd," the coach said. "We match up with UAM, physically and athletically, probably the most than anybody else in the conference. The players on both teams deserve a big crowd."
