This is a resident stealth multipartite virus with antiheuristics and antiemulation tricks, encrypted with a slow polymorphic encryption layer.

Hare infects COM and EXE files, MBRs of hard drives and floppy boot sectors. Infected files and boot sectors are encrypted with a slowly changing polymorphic encryption layer. Infected files are marked by setting the seconds field of the time stamp to 34. Hare will not infect files starting with 'TB' or 'F-' or files which have the letter V in their name. This is done to avoid infecting antivirus program with a self-check routine.
When an infected file is run, the virus first infects the MBR of the hard drive and stays resident and is able to infect files (but not boot sectors). Hare attempts to bypass BIOS boot sector virus protection systems while infecting the MBR.
When the machine is rebooted, the virus will install itself to memory from the MBR and it starts to infect also floppy boot sectors during floppy access as well as COM and EXE files.
When resident, the virus occupies over 9kB of memory. Infected files will grow around 7-8kB in size, depending on the polymorphic decryptor. The polymorphic decryptor contains several conditional and unconditional jumps and several calls to do-nothing interrupts to confuse heuristics and emulation. Polymorphic encryption changes slowly, trying to make it difficult to create a large sample set with variable decryptors.
Hare will attempt to hide itself in files, but it will sometimes report the infected files to be little bigger or smaller than they originally were.
Hare is Windows 95 -aware: it will delete the floppy disk driver file to make itself capable of spreading to floppy disks used from Win95. After disinfecting Hare, you will need to reinstall the \WIN95\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\HSFLOP.PDR file from backups.
Hare activates when the machine is booted on the 22nd of August and 22nd of September. At this time it displays this text:
"HDEuthanasia" by Demon Emperor: Hare Krsna, hare, hare...
After this the virus attempts to overwrite the hard drive and A: and B: drives. This produces a 'Non-system disk' error, but the virus stays resident after the destruction is done - so it can still replicate if a boot floppy is inserted to start up the machine.
Hare was found in the wild in USA in May 1996 and it was apparently distributed over the internet, as infections were soon found from Canada, UK, Switzerland, Russia...in general, everywhere.
This is a newer variant which has some bugs corrected. The text message in the virus has been changed to:
"HDEuthanasia-v2" by Demon Emperor: Hare, Krsna, hare, hare...
Otherwise the virus is like the original variant.
This variant was spread in faked posts in usenet news on 26th of June, 1996. Infected files included:
vpro46c.exe in alt.cracks agent99e.exe in alt.cracks red_4.exe in alt.sex pkzip300.exe in alt.comp.shareware
The text message in this variant has been changed to:
"HDEuthanasia-v3" by Demon Emperor: Hare, Krsna, hare, hare...
This variant was spread in faked posts in usenet news on 29th of June, 1996. Infected files included:
agent99e.exe in alt.crackers lviewc.exe in alt.crackers

An Unseen Style
Thirty years ago I was walking through the park near the Verrazano Narrows Bridge when I saw a film crew shooting a scene for a movie.
The film was Prince of the City, a story about police corruption in the NYPD starring Treat Williams, and the director was Sidney Lumet.
I was just out college, a budding film genius, and I was dying to get a look at the man who had given us Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, The Pawnbroker and so many other great films.
They were shooting right under the bridge—the scene is only a few minutes long in the movie—and I couldn't see very much.
There was this rather obnoxious English production assistant stalking around the barrier—what the hell was she doing in Brooklyn?--and I asked her if Lumet was there.
"Yes," she said with mild exasperation, "he's here directing."
Well, screw you very much, sweetheart. Maybe he hadn't gotten there yet, okay?
I hung around a little while longer, hoping I would see Lumet, bowl him over him with my awesome talent, prompting him to take me on as his assistant, which would kick off my fabulous career on the other side of the barrier and soon people would be craning their necks in hopes of getting a view of me.
That didn't exactly happen. I hung around for a little while before leaving and I never got the chance to meet Sidney Lumet, who died on Saturday at the age of 86.
Glad as Hell
As I read his obituary, I couldn't get over how many great movies this man had made. In addition to the ones I already mentioned, there was Network, The Verdict, The Hill, 12 Angry Men, Murder on the Orient Express, The Anderson Tapes, just to name a few more.
And he was working almost up to the end, having made Before the Devil Knows Your Dead in 2007. If you want to see my head explode, just ask me to name my favorite Lumet film. I don't think I could do it.
Lumet's films were always so powerful, mercifully lacking in all the film school trickery that may look good on the screen but doesn't advance the story or expand the characters one inch.
"Good style, to me, is unseen style," he once said. "It is style that is felt."
Oh, how right he was. Who could forget Al Pacino chanting "Att-it-ca! Att-it-ca!" in Dog Day Afternoon? Or those gripping scenes in Fail-Safe where Henry Fonda, as the president, tries to avert Armageddon as he speaks through an interpreter—a young Larry Hagman--to the Soviet premier. The scenes feature just two fine actors, a telephone and some incredible filmmaking.
I recall reading that Lumet never allowed the credit "A film by Sidney Lumet" to appear in any of his movies. This is shocking when you think of all the no-talent losers out there who have the gall to use the "A film by…" line on the some of crappiest movies imaginable.
And interestingly, Lumet said that he didn't think art changes anything.
"I do it because I like it," he said when asked why he made movies, "and it's a wonderful way to spend your life."
Watching his movies is a wonderful to spend your time.
I try to imagine what I would have said if I had actually gotten the chance to meet Sidney Lumet by the bridge that day.
Knowing my younger self all to well, I probably would've gotten all tongue-tied and wound up making a fool out of myself.
But I know what would I like to say to him now and it's summed up in just two words:
Thank you.

I had no idea you went to film school, Rob!?
How cool!
OMG, Lumet was one of my favorite directors. I love his films!
"Lumet's films were always so powerful, mercifully lacking in all the film school trickery that may look good on the screen but doesn't advance the story or expand the characters one inch."
I totally agree! His films have a rawness to them, which for me, adds a realness!
If I had to choose one, I think it would be Dog Day Afternoon. I can't tell you how many times I will re-rent that film and enjoy it just as much as seeing it for the first time. Not only did I love Pacino in it, but also Chris Sarandon. He was brilliant!
- Rob K said...
Hey, Ron, how's it going? Film was my minor at Hunter and I've taken film courses over the years...now all I have to do is make a film!
"Dog Day Afternoon" is a great choice. That movie was incredible. In fact, it's been a while since I've seen it...
Take care!

It may not be the "shot heard 'round the world," but one lucky golfer is guaranteed a chance at a million-dollar hole-in-one attempt in the upcoming 2013 Kiwanis Open, hosted by the Hot Springs Village Kiwanis Club.
The tournament, a flighted scramble to be held Sept. 11 at Magellan Golf Course in Hot Springs Village, will begin with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. An entry fee of $300 per team will cover green and cart fees, practice balls, and an all-you-can-eat buffet of shrimp, catfish and barbecue by Riverside Grocery.
Golfers can compete for prizes throughout the day, with special focus on the Par 3s. A brand-new Toyota Avalon, donated by Gregg Orr Toyota, will be awarded for a hole-in-one on one of the Par 3s, and prizes will be awarded for closest to the pin and "inside the circle."
The prizes are substantial, and include a resort vacation and $500 in golf apparel. The event will also feature a putting contest, mulligans, putting insurance, and a raffle.
Other sponsors include Landers Ford, Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas, the Hot Springs Village Voice and the Mt. Carmel Community.
The big news, of course, is the "million dollar shot." The tournament can field a maximum of 36 teams, and a random drawing will be held for one team name. The team will then select one member of the team to take a shot for the money. Club president Dave Welch told the Voice, tongue-in-cheek, "The chosen hole – No. 6 – will be a minimum of 165 yards – virtually a gimme!"
In addition to having a fun day on the course, golfers can also take pleasure in knowing that their donations will be put to good use.
The Hot Springs Village Kiwanis Club is part of the international Kiwanis organization, dedicated to "changing the world one child and one community at a time." Members pay dues, which cover administrative costs, but all donations go to their chosen projects.
The global Kiwanis organization has joined forces with UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus in a program called "Project Eliminate."
The disease, caused by unhygienic birthing practices, kills a baby somewhere in the world every nine minutes, but is easily preventable with a series of three vaccines costing only $1.80. The disease has been eliminated in 28 of the targeted countries, with 31 to go by the scheduled completion date of 2015.
Governments where the program is being conducted have to agree to continue with initiatives that promote the health of children, including roads, schools, hospitals, etc., ensuring that the benefits of the program continue to grow.
Locally, the club supports the Mountain Pine, Fountain Lake and Jessieville school districts in the form of scholarships to graduating seniors, and by sponsoring "junior" Kiwanis programs, such as K-Kids and Key Clubs, which teach youngsters the importance of service and leadership.
It also supports the Paul Bewie Boys and Girls Club, Head Start, and Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
The tournament is more than half full already, so now's the time to sign up for a day of golf and charitable giving.
Information can be obtained from their website at www.hotspringsvilagekiwanis.com, by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling 922-0024 or 915-9557.

Backstage at the Tony Awards earlier this year, Barrett Foa was talking with acclaimed Broadway star Terrence Mann and mentioned that he would be performing this summer as Harold Hill in the Nutmeg Summer Series production of "The Music Man."
Mann, who spent the past two summers in Storrs acting in and directing in Nutmeg Summer Series productions staged by the Connecticut Repertory Theatre, told Foa he would enjoy the experience.
"He just lit up and told me: 'You're just going to have so much fun,'" says Foa, one of the stars of "NCIS: Los Angeles," which will begin its fifth season in the fall.
"I feel comfortable here," he adds. "The cast is incredibly talented. They're supportive of me and I'm supportive of them. It's a lovely and comfortable place to work."
A veteran of Broadway musicals, Foa says that having the lead role in a production like "The Music Man," which runs July 11-21 at the Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre, presents a new challenge and greater responsibility, since his previous roles in other productions of the musical were as part of the ensemble.
"I've been in 'The Music Man' three times as a dancing teenager and I never thought I'd be old enough to play Harold Hill," Foa said during a break from rehearsals last week. "I don't know that Harold Hill has to be old. I think he can be in his 30s and at the peak of his game both in the way of getting away with conning these towns and sleeping with as many women as he possibly can in each one. If he's at the apex, I think that gives it a sexier sheen to the whole show."
Foa has performed in Connecticut before, including as Frederic in "Pirates!" at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, and as Claudio in the Shakespeare Theatre Company's production of "Much Ado About Nothing" at the Hartford Stage.
A native of New York City, Foa spent his summers during high school at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan, later graduating with a degree in theater from the University of Michigan. He made his Broadway debut as part of the original cast of "Mama Mia!" in 2001. He says he first learned about UConn in 2003, when he auditioned for the Broadway production of "Avenue Q," the hit musical that features puppets. One of the puppeteers featured in the production was Jennifer Barnhart '98 (SFA).
"It was a bit of a scary experience going into a room full of puppeteers and saying: 'I'm going to be your new lead.' They put me into an intensive two-day course and I proved at the audition I could fit in with everyone else. I got to be the understudy for a year and learn from everyone," he says.
Taking the risk of seeking a new challenge is something Foa enjoys. After establishing his credentials on the stage in New York, he decided to take the suggestion of friends and head to Los Angeles for a move into television. Not long after his arrival in Hollywood, he landed guest spots on established shows including "Numb3rs," "The Closer," and HBO's "Entourage."
Foa thought that, given his extensive background in musicals and musical comedy, he would likely find comedic roles in television. However, he learned that opportunities for guest stars are more plentiful in dramas. Not long after two turns on "Entourage" and one on "The Closer," Foa was cast in an episode of "NCIS" that introduced the Los Angeles office of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. At the time, "NCIS" was the No. 2-rated television program, and CBS decided to spin off a second show, "NCIS: Los Angeles," with Foa reprising his role as computer tech analyst Eric Beale.
Foa says he was fortunate to land a network series so quickly: "I never went through a pilot season, which is sort of the living hell that LA actors have to go through every year. Somehow I avoided that and struck the lottery."
He says the show's writers continue to evolve the ensemble cast of "NCIS: Los Angeles," a drama that emphasizes the relationships between the pairing of agents and staff and among the entire group.
"I think what distinguishes our show from a lot of the other procedural crime dramas is there's a dramatic story each week but at the same time there's kind of a workplace comedy going on," he says. "It's comedy where people are teasing each other a lot. It's great because the characters are so comfortable with each other."
Foa looks forward to his performances in Storrs this week, when he will be able to perform before an audience again.
"That's why I do theater. Yeah, I'm in your living room [each week], but you're not in mine," he says. "I'm used to having a live connection with an audience on a stage, and also after the show. Fans stick around and wait to say 'Hi.' I get to say 'Hi' back. There's more of an immediate personal touch. I want to do this because I want to meet the fans halfway."
Listen to Foa discussing the role of Harold Hill and why he enjoys theater.
"The Music Man" is part of the Nutmeg Summer Series 2013, and will run July 11-21 at the Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre. For information call 860-486-1629 or go to the CRT website.

Wellhead Protection
Source water protection programs in Nevada are initiated and implemented at local levels and depend on the willingness of a community to support the local program. Clean, healthy drinking water is something many of us take for granted, but as our area grows, ground water pollution can become a serious problem and can threaten the health of our community.
On August 6, 2009, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners approved participation in the State of Nevada Integrated Source Water Protection Program. This voluntary program was undertaken to prevent the pollution of community drinking water sources.
Wellhead Protection Plan
Our community
Wellhead Protection Plan
for Public Water Systems in Douglas County, Nevada has been prepared by a dedicated team of community leaders, staff, experts, volunteers and citizens. It will provide a framework for the long-term protection of public drinking water supply sources for communities across Douglas County. We ask you to join the team and help to protect our community's drinking water.

There was no alcohol in Danny Ray Smith's blood when Northport Police arrested him for a DUI Wednesday afternoon.
There was no alcohol in Danny Ray Smith's blood when Northport Police arrested him for a DUI Wednesday afternoon.
Smith was charged with murder in 2012 for allegedly hitting and killing 8-year-old Haylee Burks while driving drunk after the Tuscaloosa Regional Air Show. He received another DUI Wednesday while out on bond, prompting prosecutors to take steps to have that bond revoked and a writ issued for his arrest.
Smith, whose blood alcohol level tested at 0.0, has a medical problem that caused him to drive erratically and act confused when speaking to officers, his attorneys said at a court hearing Friday. Results from a blood test to determine whether there were illegal drugs or medication in his system have not yet been returned.
Smith has been hospitalized at DCH Regional Medical Center since Thursday and is being treated for an unknown condition. His attorneys don't know a diagnosis because they and his family have been barred by Northport Police from visiting him in the emergency room, said attorney Mary Turner.
"He has a serious physical ailment," said Bob Prince, another attorney representing Smith. "He has a medical condition that has worsened over the last week. He should not be locked up right now."
Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court Judge Brad Almond ruled Friday that he will allow the writ for Smith's arrest to remain active until he hears more about Smith's medical condition and receives the results from the blood test administered Wednesday afternoon. He ordered that Smith be transported to the Tuscaloosa County Jail when he is released from DCH and held until another hearing to discuss bond revocation take place.
Tuscaloosa County District Attorney Scott Holmes said Northport Police officers in an unmarked vehicle observed Smith parked partially in the road in his 2012 Jeep Wrangler. When Smith began driving erratically, Holmes said, the officers called for patrol car. Smith did not immediately stop when that car signaled.
Smith handed the officer his Social Security card instead of his license and was acting confused, Holmes said. Smith was charged with driving under the influence of any substance. Alabama law states that it's illegal to drive under the influence of any substance "which impairs the mental or physical faculties of such person to a degree which renders him or her incapable of safely driving."
"We have a man in a failed and frail medical situation and instead of being cared for or taken to the hospital they go ahead and ring him up for being under the influence of unnamed substance -- an unknown, unsuggested substance -- and that's what's particularly troubling to us," said Hays Webb, another attorney representing Smith.
Holmes said he would ask the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences to rush the blood toxicology report and a blood glucose test.
Several members of Haylee's family sat in the courtroom during the hearing, which lasted about 10 minutes. All wore buttons with her photo. They declined to speak with reporters.
"Danny Smith and his family is as sorry about this as anybody is," Prince said after the hearing. "But sometimes accidents happen because of medical reasons. I don't blame them for feeling hurt and even bitter, but that doesn't mean that he's guilty of a criminal act."
Smith blood alcohol tested at .13 after the fatal accident, higher than the .08 legal limit.
Criminal charges of murder, manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, first-degree assault and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries are still pending.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Wall Street took a beating on Wednesday as traders shrugged off signs of budget progress in Washington, D.C. and locked in 2013 gains ahead of next week's Fed meeting.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:DJI) fell 130 points, or 0.81%, to 15844, the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:GSPC) fell 20.4 points, or 1.1%, to 1782 and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ:IXIC) slid 56.7 points, or 1.4%, to 4004.
It's been a fairly quiet week on Wall Street, with no major economic reports out. That gave traders cover to lock-in gains from this year before the Federal Reserve's policy-setting meeting next week. Volatility, as tracked by the CBOE's VIX, surged 10% to its highest level in two months.
However, lawmakers on Capitol Hill could shake things up. Leaders in the House and Senate crafted a two-year budget deal that would stave off another government shutdown in January. The pact would need to be approved by both chambers.
Still, Peter Boockvar, chief market strategist at The Lindsey Group, said investors are somewhat numb to action in the nation's capital.
"The yawn of a response in markets to the budget deal, which still has to get passed, points to two things," he wrote in an email. "Number one, it was extremely modest and two, markets assumed we wouldn't repeat October."
On the corporate front, MasterCard (NYSE:MA) revealed a 10-for-one stock split and boosted its dividend by 83%. Shares of the credit card processor rallied on the news.

Roger Federer's decision to return a week after birth of 2nd set of twins has wife's support
ROME – Roger Federer's decision to return to tennis a week after the birth of his second set of twins has the full support of his wife Mirka. And don't expect his schedule to change much now that he has four kids.
Speaking at the Italian Open on Tuesday, Federer says that when the boys were born earlier than expected he consulted with his wife and team "and they all said I should quickly come and play here. So I was like, 'OK, if you don't want me around I'll go away.'"
The 32-year-old Federer says "there will be a long time without any traveling after the tennis is over, so I'm looking forward to the next couple of years now."

During my pre-teen years, I grew up as a baseball fan of the local team the Cleveland Indians. To set the tone for a discussion of diabetic data, a review of the volume of baseball data is an excellent comparison. It is September. Baseball teams are focused on the goal of playing in the postseason.
Oh, for the sisters, wives, parents, grandparents and friends of Type 1 Diabetics, T1D, some of the guys you know spent too much time pouring over reams of data regarding fantasy sports teams. Guys are you taking care of yourself and managing your personal health conditions including your diabetes with the same tenacity?
Guys it is time to focus on the facts, data and figures regarding your daily health with better management practices for living with Diabetes. Take the time to collect and analyze your own data. Reviewing our own data, facts, figures, graphs and charts can facilitate better discussions with our health care providers. Just is in a baseball game the little differences lead directly to enormous differences in making the postseason!
Hey guys too many of you are quitting too soon. Now, here is a link to a discussion of baseball stats. George Will is a noted columnist, historian and a lover of baseball. The link is to a recent YouTube discussion on the value of baseball and all the numbers.
What does it mean to be have a 0.300 batting average? The real fact is that the batter will be unsuccessful and fail 70% of the time at bat! The real objective is to master the sport. Have you taken the time to develop a plan and implement the plan to succeed with a healthier life as a diabetic? We all have bad days. It is time to work on achieving better days.
The start of each new day can bring the download of the collection of the data from the previous day, only if you collect the data. The blood glucose meter, the insulin pump, the continuous glucose meter and my fitbit chargehr are uploaded into the individual company programs and posted to the Diasend Program. The choice to use Diasend was based upon the fact that my endocrinologist is part of a major teaching hospital which has been using the Diasend program for some time. By uploading data saves me from printing a stack of paper reports for a doctor's appointment. Not fair for the doctor. We are all able to review the stats from yesterday's baseball results today. My ability to succeed with the management of my diabetes is improved by presenting my medical staff with timely data. A great team is composed of a great coaching staff and players striving to succeed. My medical team is comprised with an outstanding head coach, the endocrinologist as manager with a compliment of multiple assistant coaches when needed. I view the volume of data as a game. Can this individual and my medical team discern small subtle facts and events that over time could improve control and success in living a healthy life as a diabetic?
You may ask why? Just as in baseball it is the little differences over time that will have an enormous difference in the outcome of our lives.
After fifty plus years as a type 1 diabetic, T1D continues to present ongoing challenges with new changes and opportunities. Yesterday is history, we cannot re-play that day. However, we do have the opportunity to review the results and view the best and worst of the prior days. Each day is the beginning of a new day with the choice to succeed or fail. If today becomes a failure we need to pick ourselves up and start again. Go team.
Life can present each of us with opportunities to learn from other venues for living with diabetes. In conclusion, a special thanks to George Will and Prager University for the salient points about baseball and life.

ASUS ENGTX465 Review
Unigine Heaven Benchmark 2.0 is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on the Unigine engine. What sets the Heaven Benchmark apart is the addition of hardware tessellation, available in three modes; Moderate, Normal and Extreme. Although tessellation requires a video card with DirectX 11 support and Windows Vista/7, the Heaven Benchmark also supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and OpenGL. Visually, it features beautiful floating islands that contain a tiny village and extremely detailed architecture.
- 4xAA
- 16xAF
- Shaders = High
- Tesselation = Normal
- Measurement = FPS
Higher = Better
One of the strengths of the GF100 architecture is its tessellation performance. Throughout the resolutions, the GTX 465 kept pace with the HD 5850, two resolutions it gave a higher level of performance higher and two in which it performed lower. When both the HD 5850 and GTX 465 are overclocked, the strengths of the GF100 architecture are clear.

A contract can be formed orally or in writing. Evidentially, it is always preferable that terms are set out in the form of a written contract but this does not prevent oral agreements from being enforceable, where the terms are clear and unambiguous. Equally, an oral agreement which varies the terms of a written agreement can be enforceable. But what if the written agreement expressly states that any variation to a contract must be in writing?
This issue has been before the courts in two recent cases. Anti-oral variation clauses are not unusual and are often used to exclude the risk of agreements being reached accidentally and without clarity as to terms. There has legal uncertainty as to whether such clauses can exclude any agreed variations concluded orally. In an earlier case, United Bank v Asif [2000], the Court of Appeal upheld an anti-oral variation clause but since that date the courts have suggested that parties to a contract can unmake or remake its terms.
In Globe Motors Inc v TRW Lucas Variety Electric Steering Ltd [2016] the Court of Appeal considered an agreement which included the clause that the contract could only be amended by a written document signed by both parties. The Court considered the earlier conflicting decisions and made obiter comments that, despite the problems proving an oral agreement, there was more authority to support the argument that parties were free to change the terms of an agreement. Where an oral agreement was alleged, it would be for the court to decide on the balance of probabilities whether such a contract existed and what the terms were.
This case was then followed by the Court of Appeal decision in MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd v Rock Advertising Ltd [2016]. This was not an employment case but the finding will have implications for variations concluded orally despite the existence of an anti-oral agreement clause. The court held that an oral agreement could validly vary a contract despite the existence of a clause that required variations to be in writing and signed. Quoting from a case decided 100 years earlier, the court stated that 'those who may make a contract may unmake it. The clause which forbids a change may be changed like any other. The prohibition of oral waiver may itself be waived'.
Given that oral agreements pose difficult questions of proof it is important therefore that you think carefully before making oral 'promises' which may be relied on later as being contractually binding. Even where you intend to enter into legal relations, it is wise to set out the terms in writing to avoid argument as to what was intended. One party's recollection may differ from the other's. Anything done by either party after the oral contract has been concluded may be admissible to assist in construing the terms of the contract: this is in contrast to a written agreement where anything said after the contract has been concluded is irrelevant.
You should bear the following in mind when making an oral agreement with an employee:
- Conclude the terms in a written agreement as oral agreements are always subject to uncertainty
- Take care not to inadvertently enter into an oral agreement by making a promise to an employee ('your bonus will be in the region of £X next year if you reach your target')
- Remember that an 'entire agreement' clause in an employment contract has limitations. Such boilerplate clauses are used to ensure that parties to a written contract cannot later attempt to rely on statements made during contract negotiations that are not reflected in the final agreement. Such clauses do not prevent oral agreements being made subsequent to the main contract
- Remember that some contracts must be in writing and some written contracts must be signed as a deed (for example, where there is a grant of a power of attorney – common in service agreements where resigning directors authorise the Board to appoint a person to execute documents effecting the resignation from the office of director)

Donald Trump believes that the government can closely monitor every individual entering the country to determine their likelihood of participating in a terrorist attack. He calls it "extreme vetting." So surely his handpicked choices for the cabinet were vetted with that level of deep scrutiny, so no surprises would ensue after the selection.
Yet Trump's choice for defense secretary, retired Marine Gen. James "Mad Dog" Mattis (chosen, one assumes, for the nickname), has a very damaging association hiding in plain sight in his record—his current position on the board of directors of quack medical company Theranos.
That's right, current. It's been more than a year since The Wall Street Journal raised questions about the celebrated biotech startup, which led to the company's downfall. Yet there Mattis is, still listed on the board of directors. Former secretaries of state George Schultz and Henry Kissinger, former Senate majority leader Bill Frist, former defense secretary William Perry, and former Senate Armed Services Committee chair Sam Nunn have all backed away from the board. Another, construction company chairman and top investor Riley Bechtel, just stepped down today. But Mattis, given every opportunity to end his relationship with Theranos and its dodgy activities, is hanging in there.
Mattis's relationship with Theranos and its "next Steve Jobs" CEO Elizabeth Holmes dates back to 2011, when the general remained on active duty, in charge of Central Command and the war in Afghanistan. Theranos claimed to have invented a blood-testing device that would only require a few drops of blood. Mattis took an interest. In fact, he worked to get the US Army to procure Theranos lab equipment for field use, before it had completed the FDA approval process. E-mails from 2012 show Mattis's personal involvement in the project, with him telling Holmes, "We're kicking this into overdrive to try to field your lab in the near term."
Despite several personal interventions from Mattis, including meeting directly with the regulatory official in charge, the procurement fell apart as parts of Theranos' lab-testing equipment never passed FDA inspection. Mattis's insistence led one colonel to say that Central Command's medical teams "feel caught in the middle of something that feels quite political."

A D-dimer blood test is used to detect blood clots that occur in deep vein thrombosis, stroke and pulmonary embolism, according to Lab Tests Online. Other conditions can cause elevated D-dimer in the blood, so there is a risk of false positives.
The tendency of blood to clot inappropriately and unexpectedly is called hypercoagulability, and it is often the underlying cause of stroke, embolisms or deep vein thrombosis, notes Lab Tests Online. A test to detect D-dimer levels can rule out these conditions, so it is applied to patients with leg swelling or discoloration, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, or blood in the sputum.

Evaluating and deploying Chrome
Prior to evaluating its browser needs, Boise State first made the campus-wide switch to G Suite in 2007. The cost savings from switching to G Suite then permitted the University to channel scarce resources and staff from email maintenance to innovative technology initiatives. According to Brian Bolt, Lead Systems Engineer at Boise State University, "The savings... allowed us to redeploy one and a half full-time employees to important technology projects that are core to our university."
One important technology project that Boise State later undertook in 2010 was an evaluation of its officially supported browsers on campus. "The browser is such a fundamentally important – and often overlooked – technology. It underpins every online action a student or faculty member takes," said Jurhs.
Before 2010, Boise State officially supported students and faculty on both Firefox and Internet Explorer. "Many students were comfortable on Firefox, and most of the faculty were just used to thinking of IE as the Internet itself," observed Jurhs. Over time, he noticed, the two browsers became increasingly similar across two key characteristics: frequent updating, and overall sluggishness. "By mid-2010, there didn't appear to be much of a difference between Firefox and IE. Both required frequent – and annoying – updates which required user action to complete."
The performance issues with legacy browsers grew tiresome for Boise State's IT staff. In addition to a desire to simplify updating and boost speed, two other important considerations were security and support for both Macs and PCs. Jurhs commented, "Our student population is oriented toward Mac usage, and we offer Macs in several of our campus computing centers. Any officially supported browser would need to work on both platforms." Having met all of the University's requirements, Google Chrome was introduced in late 2010 first on a trial basis with several hundred students and faculty, and later in broad deployment throughout campus.
"We still officially support IE and Firefox, but we strongly encourage the Boise State community to take advantage of Chrome," Jurhs concluded.
Chrome at Boise State today: better browsing, less support
Chrome is now in widespread use across Boise State. "Every day, we see more and more students and faculty on Chrome – and fewer and fewer support issues as a result," said Jurhs.
To manage distribution and updating, Jurhs indicated that he includes Chrome as a core component of every PC image when installing new machines. Jurhs has leveraged the Chrome MSI to begin providing a more tightly integrated G Suite experience for faculty and staff by installing Gmail and Google Docs icons on the desktop automatically.
The University also leverages auto-updates to handle new features and security enhancements on an ongoing basis. "With Chrome, I don't have to worry about individual users clicking a prompt and agreeing to an update that might pose a security threat if not implemented correctly. Google Chrome for Work updates take care of everything on their own," stated Jurhs.
According to Jurhs, one of the best characteristics of Chrome is that it makes G Suite works better. He commented, "We started by recommending Chrome for all Google Apps-related tasks so students could take advantage of features like drag-and-drop editing and desktop alerts. Because it's fast, stable, and secure, we now recommend Chrome for Work for every online activity – it's one less piece of software that we have to worry about."

Ashes and Roses
Ashes and Roses is the new album from acclaimed singer-songwriter Mary
Chapin Carpenter on Zoë/Rounder Records. On this, her twelfth studio
recording, Carpenter continues to produce writing that is nearly
peerless in the way her compositions dig deep into the various
extremes of experience. Highlights include the track "Soul Companion,"
which features a special duet with James Taylor. Of the album,
Carpenter notes, "Ashes and Roses speaks to a personal journey that
included the end of a marriage, the loss of a parent and a life
altering illness. The songs attempt to describe what I saw, felt and
experienced along the way." Recorded in Nashville, the 13-track album
was produced by Carpenter and long-time collaborator Matt Rollings

text: Does anyone have the same problem as me? I'm on my 2nd iPod classic now and I still get this problem; the clickwheel does not work when switch off hold, I need to press a button or wait for the backlight to go off before I can use it again. Does anyone mind trying to recreate my problem? This is what you need to do: On the main menu put the iPod to sleep with the 'Play/Pause' button Active the 'Hold' button Wait 30 seconds After 30 seconds switch off 'Hold' As soon as you see the main menu appear, try and use the clickwheel to go up and down without pressing any other button This is frustrating to me 'cos if I'm listening to music, I need to press a button just to change the volume. Much appreciated if anyone tries this. Chris

The day before Thanksgiving, we took our balloon art, face painting and a pony to a non-party for a brother and sister – just a fun afternoon for them; no birthday party or anything like that.
We've done that a few times before, like for a grandpa who just wanted a pony for four visiting grandkids.
Sometimes it's not a party – it's just a treat!
Have a fun day!

The light shining through the window seems to penetrate through your eyelids into the back of your skull. You'd kill for a glass of water but die if it came with food. Your guts feel like they're being punched from the inside out, and whatever happens next is going to happen in the bathroom. You have at least a couple of the following symptoms: headache, malaise, diarrhea, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, the shakes. You might also be dehydrated and feel generally slow—a little stupider, a little less coordinated.
You, my friend, have a hangover. And hangovers SUCK. There is a bunch of science as to why hangovers happen, but it all ties back to the fact that you drank way too much the night before. Hangovers can sometimes last for days, dragging on your mood, your performance at school or work, and set you back in your athletic training. However, it's important to note that some people rarely ever get hangovers… and frequency and severity of hangovers after a night of heavy/binge drinking increases with age. Young people actually experience less side-effects (like hangovers) after drinking too much, but the permanent damage it causes to a youth brain is much more severe, including addiction and impaired brain development. One of the best tips to reducing your risk of hangovers: don't drink beyond your limits and stay hydrated by drinking non-alcoholic beverages (like water or gatorade) between drinks. Alcohol is a diarrhetic, which often explains why heavy drinkers often frequent the loo.
Lost Memories
Ever wake up and not remember what happened the night before? Ever open Facebook and poop your pants? These are called "Blackouts." Drinking too much alcohol actually shuts down a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is responsible for creating long-term memories. This is why after a night of heavy/binge drinking, it's sometimes difficult to recall certain events… or the entire night all together. We believe in creating and retaining awesome memories… and drinking too much gets in the way from that happening.
Going to class and paying attention in the morning is tough enough as it is… and waking up with a hangover doesn't make it any easier. Which is probably no surprise when Harvard School of Public Health found that 1 in 4 College Students "admit" academic consequences from drinking too much, including missing class, falling behind in class, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall. (1)
But drinking too much can also have serious consequences on your ability to learn and retain information, as it shuts down a part of the brain that aids in memory formation (see Lost Memories). Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just not drinking when your studying. Memory formation is a complex process and takes a long time. Many of your memories are solidified when you are not thinking about the material. In fact, much of memory formation occurs while you sleep. Alcohol effects your sleep cycle by disrupting the sequence and duration of normal sleep, reducing your brains ability to learn and retain information. Even drinking up to six hours before you go to sleep will negatively effect your sleep cycle, reducing your ability to retain information you learned or studied that day.
Dr. Jensen, a nationally recognized neurologist and author of the Teenage Brain, cites scientific studies showing students who participate in sporadic heavy drinking perform worse on tests of verbal and nonverbal memory than students who do not drink, and girls in particular exhibit poorer visual-spatial functioning. Adolescent boys who drink show greater deficits in attention, such as being able to focus on something that might be slightly boring for a sustained period of time (aka any form of studying). Dr. Susan Tapert, a psychiatrist at the University of California, says that the magnitude of difference between those who drink too much and those who do not is about 10 percent, which she likens to the difference between an A and a B on an exam.

Addiction is the 3rd leading cause of death in America, and is 100% preventable. Alcohol addiction effects over 17 million people in the United States. Addiction destroys relationships, families, and individual lives. And once you develop an addiction, the only form of recovery is complete sobriety. So if you want to enjoy drinking for a lifetime, then you should drink in a way that will not put you at risk of developing this disease.
So, how do you avoid addiction? Research shows that if you never abuse alcohol (meaning getting drunk or drinking for the wrong reasons like to relieve pain or stress) then your chances for addiction are very small. Also, research shows that by waiting until you turn 21 can reduce your risk for addiction by up to 90%. The reason is that an adolescent brain is in hyper growth mode through your early 20's, so alcohol has a much higher impact on brain development during those years. 90% of people with addictions started drinking or using before the age of 18. If a person abuses alcohol before 18, they have a 1 in 4 chance of developing an addiction. If that same person waits until 21, their risk drops from 1 in 4 to 1 in 25. So if your younger siblings or children ask why they have to wait until 21… the answer is "because addiction." More great information, including a short video on how addiction works, can be found at Wait21.org.
Hurts Your Game
If you're an athlete, or training for an athletic event, you need to be extra cautious about your alcohol intake. Alcohol negatively effects athletic training and recovery, which will set you back on game day.
1) Alcohol disrupts your body's ability to absorb protein, impacting protein synthesis that helps you build muscle.
2) Alcohol impairs sleep, which robs the body of a precious chemical called human growth hormone ("HGH"), which is released during sleep. HGH is vital in the growth and repair of your muscles, but alcohol can decrease the secretion of HGH by as much as 70 percent! Unsurprisingly, the studies back this up. In 2012 a group of researches at Massey University in New Zealand published a series of studies showing that the consumption of alcohol post-exercises severely restricts an athlete's ability to recover from delayed-onset muscle soreness.
3) Alcohol lowers testosterone. The presence of alcohol in your body triggers a multitude of chemical processes, including the release of a toxin from your liver that attacks the amount of testosterone you have. A 2009 study published in Bonefound that frequent drinkers in the armed forces had significantly low testosterone levels, as well as high estrogen levels. This is important because estrogen lowers the amount of testosterone in the body, and yep, you guessed it, alcohol slows down your ability to process estrogen, allowing it to build up in your blood stream.
4) Alcohol is a diuretic that promotes the production of urine and dehydration (which is why alcohol causes you to pee so much!). Dehydration leads to bad athletic performance, including greater risk of sustaining musculoskeletal injuries such as cramps and muscle strains.
5) Alcohol consumption causes vitamins A, C, the B's, calcium, zinc and phosphorus to all be drained at rapid rates. It's essentially like taking one step forward and two steps back. Which is probably how you'd walk when tipsy, ironically enough.
6) Alcohol makes you FAT. Alcohol has about 7 calories per gram, meaning that you could be drinking a hefty meal on a night out without even realizing it. Unfortunately, your muscles are not able to use these calories for fuel, as instead of being converted to glycogen (a form of stored carbohydrate) your body treats alcohol as fat. As a result, alcohol consumption increases fat storage and can adversely affect your percentage of body fat.
Sexual Abuse
This is a very serious issue. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, over 50% of reported sexual assaults and 72% of reported rape involved the use of alcohol. The facts are clear, drinking in moderation reduces your risk of sexual assault and rape. Staying in control and not being impaired by alcohol will keep you safer and allow you to also help protect your friends from these horrific tragedies.
This is a well known fact... Drinking too much can make you say or do stupid stuff. If your reputation is important to you, it's important to stay in control. Doing so will eliminate a lot of unneeded drama in your life.
University of Missouri researchers found that alcohol dulls the brain signal that warns people when they are making a mistake, ultimately reducing self-control. This often resembles a sense of false courage, which can lead people to do things that are not only dumb, but very dangerous. From hooking up with that weird guy/girl at the bar, to getting into a car while intoxicated... the range of possible regrets you face is enormous when you drink way beyond your limits.
Nearly every negative consequence ASSOCIATED WITH alcohol IS THE RESULT OF DRINKING TOO MUCH
Better Drinking Culture is about drinking better and living healthier. That means understanding how to drink, knowing our limits, and not drinking beyond them. We don't drink to get drunk. We drink to enhance our experiences with friends in a positive and healthy way.

Nevada officials on Wednesday received the green light from federal officials on a crucial part of the plan to reduce the number of mentally ill patients seeking treatment at valley emergency rooms.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved an increase in the daily psychiatric reimbursement rate from $460 a day to $944 a day, said Dr. Tracey Green, the state's chief medical officer. The increase is retroactive to July 1.
State officials hope the increase will be an incentive for Valley Hospital Medical Center to proceed with its planned 50-bed psychiatric unit and for other Southern Nevada hospitals to consider adding beds for psychiatric patients to their facilities, Green said.
On Wednesday, 110 mentally ill patients were waiting in emergency departments across the valley, Green said.
"I'll never say we'll get to zero, but I can be hopeful," he said. But the reimbursement increase "is definitely going to make a huge dent in our problems."
The new reimbursement rate will apply to acute medical hospitals with psychiatric units and free-standing psychiatric facilities with 16 beds or fewer, Green said.
Last week, Karla Perez, vice president of the acute division for Universal Health Services, which owns the Valley Health System, said the expansion of 50 beds at Valley Hospital will be completed by Nov. 1, with an opening date of Dec. 1.
Perez said if the state didn't receive approval for the new rate from the federal agency, the hospital would use those beds for general medical surgical care instead.
With Wednesday's approval, the hospital will move forward with its psychiatric beds.
"This will provide our community's mental health patients with faster access to the intervention and treatment they need," Valley Health System spokeswoman Gretchen Papez said. "It will also enable us to use Southern Nevada's ER beds for patients with critical medical needs."
Valley Hospital is still on track to open its new behavioral health unit in early December, Papez said.
Katie Ryan, spokeswoman for the St. Rose Dominican Hospitals, said hospital officials don't have any immediate plans to open a psychiatric unit.
"I think that for now we are still just evaluating," she said.
When the 50 psychiatric beds at Valley Hospital move forward, they will "definitely" provide relief to other hospitals, Ryan said.
Brendan Bussmann, vice president for strategic development and marketing for Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, said he couldn't comment Wednesday.
Local emergency departments now transfer mentally ill patients to Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital in Las Vegas when a bed becomes available there. If more hospitals like Valley open psychiatric units, patients won't stack up while waiting for a bed at Rawson-Neal.
"This change isn't going to happen overnight," Green said. But the rate increase is a "critical step."
State officials submitted the increase request in June. It was one of several recommendations from a committee formed by Gov. Brian Sandoval in response to Southern Nevada's unfolding mental health care crisis.
"Governor Sandoval has made it a top priority to implement the necessary changes to Nevada's mental health system so the state and community partners could work to meet the needs of a growing mental health population," said Mike Willden, the governor's chief of staff.
He said the increase in the Medicaid reimbursement rate "will help relieve pressure from emergency rooms and state facilities and, most importantly, guarantee more resources for those who are in need of care."

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2012
The secondary market for online tickets has been a booming industry in recent years, with the market topping $3 billion in 2011. The economic slowdown has done little to hamper the growth of this dynamic industry, as consumers seek to save money and entrepreneurial ticket sellers look to earn a profit on secondary markets. Sites like StubHub and SeatWave have grown immensely and are now vibrant marketplaces where buyers and sellers connect to exchange tens of thousands of tickets each month.
As more consumers buy tickets on secondary exchanges, the risk from fraudulent sellers is also on the rise. Knoji has compiled a report outlining some key primary tips consumers should keep in mind when purchasing tickets from sellers online.
The report highlights some common problems encountered by consumers when buying tickets from online sellers as well as some common sense tips to help maximize the chances of a successful transaction. Highlights from the report are included below.
Avoid using Craigslist - instead use a reputable, brand-name secondary exchange. Consumers should avoid transacting on Craigslist when possible, and instead use a brand name exchange such as StubHub, TicketLiquidator or AceTicket. Knoji offers a list of valid online ticketing sites which consumers can cross reference to locate a ticket exchange, or to locate consumer reviews on ticket websites prior to making a purchase. Consumers should also utilize the Better Business Bureau to locate a rating on the business prior to making a purchase.
Do not go "off-site" to complete a transaction. One common tactic used by fraudsters is to lure consumers into completing the transaction directly via email, often using an unsecure money transfer such as wire transfer or Western Union. Going offsite means forgoing any policies and guarantees the exchange website offers to protect you from fraud. In order to benefit from these safety mechanisms offered by reputable ticket exchanges, be sure to fulfill your transaction completely on that company's website.
Use a payment method such as credit card or PayPal that offers some level of protection against fraudulent transactions. If you wire your money directly to the seller, you have no recourse to recoup your payment, whereas many credit card companies offer payment protection to their consumers, giving you a chance to recoup your investment in a case of fraud.
Cross-reference ticket and venue information. Always know what the valid physical ticket looks like. You can usually find images of tickets using popular sites like TicketsNow. Ask the seller to provide a picture of the tickets you're buying, including a visible readout of the ticket number. You should also cross-reference the seating chart of the venue in which the event is taking place, and make sure that the seat numbers are valid and that they match up to the seller's description of their location. VividSeats and other top ticketing sites will offer a visual map of each venue.
Verify that the event has not been canceled. One of the most common scams in recent years has been sellers selling tickets for events that have been canceled. Always be sure to check other ticketing sites as well as the event's own website to be sure that the event has not been canceled.
Extra precautionary steps when buying season tickets. If you're purchasing season tickets, you should take extra care to avoid common fraudulent schemes. First, ask the seller for their season ticket account number, and call the vendor to be sure that their number is valid and matches their name. Secondly, ask the seller to provide you with a receipt of the original season ticket purchase. One common scam is for a seller who only owns a portion of a given season's tickets to sell fake tickets to make up what they don't actually own. The season ticket purchase receipt will show all the tickets the seller actually purchased, giving you proof of what they own.
Consumers can find in-depth consumer advocacy reports like this one, in addition to reviews and forums on thousands of companies, on Knoji's acclaimed consumer reviews website. Knoji also offers an in-depth survey of online ticketing sites and companies.

City Becomes Interactive Gaming Experience
City Becomes Interactive Gaming Experience
You can talk to your lamppost, your park bench, your storm drain, and they all talk back to you.
Bristol's Hello Lamp Post! invites you to participate in the city's secret conversation. Talk to your lamp post by texting it Hello; it could say almost anything in reply, but those who participate in the city's latest game will be told Bristol's secrets.
The rules are simple. Each object has a code, which the city normally uses to identify individual items, for repair and upkeep purposes. That code is posted directly on the object, be it bollard, storm drain, bench, or whatever. You send a text with Hello, plus the name of the object, and its code, to that object, and it will send a text right back to you. Maybe it will just complain about the weather - always a popular British pastime - or maybe it will say, well, whatever else is on its mind. Long term players learn secrets about Bristol, sent in texts written by the city direct to them.
The game will play out during summer 2013 in this historic UK seaport first, before going on an international tour. It was put together by design studio PAN - inventors of, among other things, a zombie defense laser trap - as part of a competition in which 93 contestants took part. To the winner goes £30,000, to help it put the game together.
"Hello Lamp Post! stood out with a potential for both art and play using existing urban furniture," says competition judge and Google Creative Director Tom Uglow. "It points to a future made up of the physical objects already around us, the 'internet of things', and the underlying complexity is made simple and easy for people by just using SMS for this project."
Bristol, eh? Could be nice in the summer, and I'm told it has very friendly bus shelters.

I wonder if I can get the codes and message a sewer cover from overseas....
The ONE time I go off my meds and someone makes a videogame about it.
Are these text messages costing money? Could be a few angry parents around when their kids go haywire talking to their good friend, Mr. Rubbish Bin.
This truly makes me proud to be British. What a nonsensical yet excellent idea.
Hmmm, sounds like your typical ARG scavenger hunt, albiet for more casual folks.
It's an interesting idea, and I could see it having potential if someone ran with the idea.
That said, the cost of texting also entered my mind. Truthfully until they remove a lot of the greed from mobile communications networks it's always going to limit this kind of thing. A more interactive infrastructure could be used for a lot of things, but not if it costs you money every time you try and use it.
Consider also that while the project has a budget of 30k pounds if I read that correctly, there is also the question of how much the town is going to pay for the automated texting. If people pay to send the messages, and the town pays to send them back... well that could potentially go well over budget, with the only winners being telecommunications providers.
Tell me about it.... Warning,if your mailbox starts talking to you without the use of yuor phone, please seek a medical professional immediately. LOL
Bristol's text message rates just shot through the roof.
I wonder if you can talk to those as well. Oh the horrors they could tell!
Ah man...
I wish the U.S. had talking lamp posts and mail boxes.
The British get all of the cool stuff. :(
That is the weirdest thing ever, but I love it.
If there was a talking lamp post and mailbox near where I live I would use that constantly. Just imagine all the stories it could tell, and the unspeakable horrors it had to endure!
It would be glorious! :D
Can you imagine the dystopian future possibilities if this becomes a widespread thing (smart objects)?
Graffiti spray painted on the floor near a lamppost "This one LIES!"
Chalk markings in neat rows down the wall "Always watching, always watching, always watching, always watching, etc"
Painted on a nearby alley wall "You are not safe! They are listening, they see you, run!"
Slightly hidden, peeling, stickers on nearby surfaces saying talk to X postbox and ask for "Dave" for all your non-prescription pharmaceutical needs.
Underground clubs with directions given to those saying a certain code phrase to a smart object.
Not sure what to think of this. My toilet talks a lot of crap.
As a resident of a Bristol suburb, I can tell you those bus shelters would be saying " OH MY GOD! STOP BURNING ME! "
Perhaps it's supposed to stop chavs from vandalising everything by humanising their victims.
Who am I kidding? Chavs don't feel empathy.
Ooh, this is the perfect opportunity for me to finally use
You decided you didn't want to be in our Empire, so now you don't get to play with our toys.
How much are you willing to bet that people will start asking if this just valve's latest ARG...
Are those martini glasses full of gravy? That's super british, especially if they came with mini yorkshire puddings on a cocktail stick instead of an olive...
Back on topic, it seems like a pretty weird idea but I wouldn't call it a game. More a great excuse to get people sectioned by accident and get some cash from text message charges.
HOw exactly does one text a lamppost? they have a numbers for lampposts listed or something?
Also, WTFBBQ idea. now i realize there are some people obsessed with seeing robots everywhere, but seriously?
Best. Response. Ever.
Sounds like a fun idea, but being able to talk to letterboxes doesn't make me want to visit Bristol...
exp bonus for getting mugged at night...
As the article says, lamposts and the such have a unique code to identify them and you text that code to a certain number (the same number for everything) and make a new friend.
Ooh, nice.
the article said that they all have unique numbers that should be in a message, but nothing else.

Mailbox Birmingham brawl: Wanted man in drink-driving arrest
A man wanted by police for slashing two men's faces in a bar fight has been arrested after being pulled over on suspicion of drinking and driving.
Russell Broughton was arrested when officers stopped a BMW being driven "erratically" on Constitution Hill, Birmingham, on Wednesday afternoon.
The 44-year-old from Castle Vale was wanted since being sentenced to three years in his absence on 6 March for the fight at Bar Room Bar in the Mailbox.
He is due before magistrates later.
He is charged with failing to provide a specimen, driving without a licence, driving without insurance and failing to answer bail, West Midlands Police said.
Broughton had admitted his role in the fight at Bar Room Bar in April 2013 but did not attend Birmingham Crown Court for sentencing.

General wiki templates. Templates in this category will likely have a description on the templates project page. If not, they probably deserve one.
To put a template in Category:General wiki templates:
- Use
<noinclude>[[Category:General wiki templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>. The "<noinclude>" tags are necessary because without them, you end up categorizing all pages using the template in the template category! Please also note the |{{PAGENAME}}.
- If your template is meant to be used in-line, make sure that there are no line feeds after </noinclude>. If there are, it may work in flowing text, but it will misbehave in bullet lists. You can have as many line feeds as you like between the noinclude tags though:
<noinclude>[[Category:General wiki templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
</noinclude>Text or graphic that is meant to be used in-line
- Remember that a template can be put in multiple categories if it belongs to them all!
- Or, if this is not quite the right category, go back to Category:Templates and try to find a better suited subcategory.
