HATBORO, Pa. (AP) — Investigators have returned to a suburban Philadelphia neighborhood where a teenager is accused of sending a ricin-tainted birthday card and say they've recovered a suspicious package from under a gas main cover.
The package found by hazmat crews on Thursday is near the Hatboro apartment of 19-year-old Nicholas Helman, who was arrested Wednesday on attempted-murder charges.
Police say Helman sent a card laced with the deadly poison to a romantic rival in hopes of winning back his ex-girlfriend.
Prosecutors say the package was intact and will be tested to determine its contents. Authorities say there's no danger to the public.
Court documents don't list an attorney for Helman, who's jailed without bail.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A man sent a birthday card laced with the deadly poison ricin to a romantic rival in hopes of winning back his ex-girlfriend, authorities said.
Nicholas Helman, 19, was arrested at his home in Hatboro, outside Philadelphia, Wednesday on an attempted murder charge and other counts, authorities in Bucks County said.
Helman told a Target store co-worker earlier this month that he sent the toxic card to his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend, investigators said. The co-worker notified police, who called the recipient's home and spoke to his mother, who said her daughter was outside getting the mail at that moment. Authorities then went to the home to confiscate the card.
Helman was questioned March 7 and told investigators only that he had coated the card with a substance that resembled anthrax, authorities said in an affidavit of probable cause. He said he intended to scare his ex-girlfriend in hopes of reconciling with her, police said. He initially was charged with terroristic threats and harassment and spent four days behind bars before making bail.
Authorities said Helman had ingredients for making ricin, a poison that occurs naturally in castor beans, but that initial tests didn't turn up the toxin itself. Authorities then sent the card away for more lab tests, and prosecutors were told Tuesday that traces of ricin had been confirmed on the card, the district attorney's office said. Police accompanied by hazardous materials teams and the FBI then arrested Helman.
Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the toxin was "very potent."
"He made ricin, and if you lick that card, you're dead," he said.
Court documents don't list an attorney for Helman, who was jailed without bail after his arraignment Wednesday night. He has a March 27 preliminary hearing.
His father, Douglas, told The (Doylestown) Intelligencer that he knew nothing about the charges. He said his son had been good at science and math in school and made Eagle Scout last year.

Insult Gates
Today is the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter, and probably the best time to talk about Insult Gates.
Imagine you are alone with a little girl (I had little sisters), and someone is viciously screaming at you from another room. Even if you don't know the best way to stick up for yourself, you'd try to scream something back that would be fun for the little girl to hear. It's sort of like a mutual secret between you.
It's clear the little girl would want to hear you saying something (1) grown-up, (2) disarming, (3) intelligent, (4) playful, (5) diplomatic, (6) self-affirming, (7) humorous, (8) street-smart, (9) lighthearted, or (10) strong in no particular order.
It's clear the person in the other room wants to trick you into having (a) feelings of isolation, (b) emotional pain, (c) negative anticipation, (d) wishful thinking, (e) limited possibilities, (f) fluctuating self-esteem, (g) fragmented attention, (h) stunted growth, (i) ineffectual preoccupation, and (j) confrontational attitudes also, in no particular order.
These are the Insult Gates, and once you've been tricked, you forget the little girl (your insight, or the part of you that dreams at night), who becomes sealed inside an envelope where things start getting worse.
Meanwhile, the attacker continues to trick (i) you into having an emotional response, (ii) you into believing the attacker is important, (iii) you into working for the attacker, (iv) you into defending your right to work for the attacker, (v) you into becoming habitually stupid, irrational, or insane (the "cause of the day," "quackery," or war), and to trick (vi) you into believing you're better off for it. (vii) If your mother or father beat you, you're really up the creek, because (viii) your father is supposed to be protecting you. (ix) Now you totally identify with your parents' beliefs and values, including (x) the belief you're not supposed to defend yourself.
God is a little girl locked inside a
and when you understand this,
it hits you right between the eyes.
LYING can save your skin, and you really should know how to do it the right way. What if you put a little dent in the family car, and you just don't want to take the heat? You should use Amphibology. When the big fear propagator broaches the subject (diplomatically, he thinks) by saying, "Come over here I want to show you something,"
"That alone," you say tentatively.
He takes you over to the dent and says, "Did you do that?"
"Uh-oh," you say sympathetically.
"It must be.
Who else would?"
(having either memorized the ambiguous words or contacted a gift for this sort of thing.)
MORALITY has nothing to do with how you treat a fear propagator. It has everything to do with how honest you are with yourself. The great danger of lying is that you can get used to it, and then you can forget you are doing it and begin lying to yourself. Very, very dangerous! The moment you begin lying to yourself, you lose the ability to detect lies from other people. You may have already done it, starting at about the age of three, and now people lie to you left and right and there's little you can do about it except search for an inner truth.

Torrance Pedodontist
Some people believe that baby teeth aren't important because they're temporary (because they'll fall out) and that only adult teeth matter because they're permanent. Our Torrance pedodontist at Children's Dental Group is here to tell you that couldn't be further from the truth. Baby teeth are extremely important for many reasons. Baby teeth are necessary for chewing, speaking and smiling. They also serve as placeholders for future adult teeth. It is very important to take proper care of your baby's teeth in order to prevent infant dental decay.
One of the main causes of tooth decay in babies is referred to as "Baby Bottle" tooth decay. Baby Bottle tooth decay occurs when sweetened liquids (even those with natural sugars), such as fruit juice, milk and formula, cling to the baby's teeth for a long time. Infants who are given a sugary drink at naptime or bedtime are at a high risk for tooth decay because the flow of saliva decreases during sleep. If baby bottle tooth decay is left untreated, the baby can experience pain and an infection can develop. If the teeth are severely decayed, they may have to be removed. If a baby's teeth are infected or lost too early, the results could be devastating. Your baby can have difficulty eating and develop poor eating habits as a result, have speech problems, crooked teeth as well as damaged adult teeth later in life. Additionally, in this scenario, the chances that your baby's adult teeth will end up being crooked greatly increase. Fortunately, there are things you can do to help prevent baby bottle tooth decay, such as developing and implementing good oral hygiene and habits early. Taking your baby to the dentist early is very important as well. When you choose a dentist, you should choose one that specializes in providing dental care to children; a pediatric dentist. We highly recommend that you make an appointment with our Torrance pedodontist at Children's Dental Group. When you choose our dental practice, you are making a great choice for your children. Our dental practice specializes in pediatric dentistry. You will be amazed at the top-notch service that we offer in our unique and special office.
Our office at Children's Dental Group has been specifically designed to meet the special needs of children. Our office is unique and special. It's playful design and set-up is attractive to children. It's a fun and exciting environment for them. We have video games, rides and even movie theatres in our bright and colorful office! Our Torrance pedodontist and the rest of our dental staff have the experience necessary to provide excellent dental care to your children in a child friendly manner. Our entire staff is dedicated to helping children. We have all chosen to limit our dental practice to children. Therefore, we have the expertise to provide your children with the outstanding care they need and deserve.
We provide comprehensive children's dentistry at Children's Dental Group. We do much more than just clean your children's teeth. We provide a full range of preventative and restorative services.

So I've been busy as of late as I was cast in a production of "the Wedding Singer". This is a rendition of the size of my hair and my last outfit in the show.
The Terrible Tragedy of Red Riding Hood
Ok this is a work in progress. I decided to try to work on something for more than say an hour. Lets see where it goes. The hood is all wrong, and it needs work but I'm trying it out.

Brain Fuel Plus
*Picks were chosen by editor based on reader contribution. Details

Brain Fuel Plus is advertised as the ultimate discovery in brain nutrition, effective in improving cognitive function under multiple aspects. The manufacturer of this formula is called Brain Abundance. The management of this company claims to use only the best quality and the highest purity ingredients that guarantee their products effectiveness. Although the official web page indicates that the company has developed a line of brain products, they only offer information about this formulation. Brain Abundance offers the opportunity to affiliate to the company's Independent Business Owners program, a compensation plan that offers various bonuses for those who decide to become official partners and distribute their products. All the information about joining the company's network of distributors is available in the section "Opportunity" from the official web page.
Brain Fuel Plus is advertised to include the largest number of active compounds as compared to any other dietary supplement. A total of 13 substances including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and plant extracts are listed. The most important benefits mentioned for Brain Fuel Plus are healthy cognitive function and memory, increased ability of the body to cope with stress, positive mood and mind, better sleep, mental clarity, increased ability to focus, powerful defense against free radical damage, and "many more benefits" that are not detailed.
The targeted category of individuals is not mentioned. It is not clear if Brain Fuel Plus is indicated for children and in what doses.
Brain Fuel Plus Ingredients
Brain Fuel Plus contains the following ingredients: Niacin (as Niacinamide), Vitamin B-6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-12, Zinc, Phenylalanine, L-Glutamine, Grapeseed Extract, Sensoril, Ginseng Panax Red, Rhodiola Rosea Powder, Resveratrol, Astaxanthin, gelatin, Microcrystalline cellulose, and Magnesium stearate.
Product Features
Brain Fuel Plus features a relatively high number of key ingredients.
One of them is Sensoril, advertised as a multi-targeted ingredient, effective in promoting relaxed mood, reducing symptoms associated to stress (anxiety, negative feelings, sleeping problems), and increasing mental clarity, focus and concentration. This compound is a patented and clinically researched extract of the Ashwagandha plant. The particularity of Sensoril consists in the extraction process which does not imply the use of any chemicals, preserving the purity and potency of the active constituents. It is claimed as a clinically proven effective ingredient in human trials. The studies seem to have confirmed its anti-stress effect due to its ability to reduce the levels of an important "stress-hormone" called Cortisol. High doses used for long periods of time are believed to cause unwanted side effects on the heart and the adrenal glands. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised not to use supplements that include this ingredient.
L-Glutamine is an amino-acid commonly used as an ingredient of dietary supplements and various medications. The substance is used to maintain a healthy immune and digestive systems, counter the certain side effects of chemotherapy, increase physical performance, and treat mood disorders (irritability, anxiety, insomnia, etc.). The use of Glutamine has been shown effective in clinical trials, but only for some of the health claims. Most of the uses are not approved or supported by solid scientific evidence. The substance is considered likely safe if taken in the recommended dosages (maximum 40 g per day for adults). However, there are some safety issues to be considered by pregnant and breastfeeding women, or individuals who suffer from certain conditions (mania, hepatic encephalopathy or seizures).
The suggested dose for Brain Fuel Plus varies from 3 to 6 capsules per day, depending on what the desired effects are. Brain fuel Plus's reviews are mostly available on the official page and support the potency of this formula. However, this is not objective evidence that the formula is effective in any of the health claims mentioned by the producer.

- The formula includes a large number of researched active ingredients (popular substances of brain products)
- The manufacturer offers the possibility of joining a Compensation Plan (allowing consumers to gain additional incomes)
- The formula comes with a 30-day money back guarantee (available even if consumer uses the entire monthly supply)
- Substantial discounts from the basic price are offered for larger orders (3 or 6 bottles)
- The manufacturer does not indicate the potential side effects and drug interactions of this product
- The standard price for a month's supply is high (considering additional costs)
- There is no free sample offered by the producer
- The supplement is not clinically researched even though it is claimed as the most powerful supplement of its type
Brain Fuel Plus is a product designed to promote mental clarity and support healthy cognitive function through a synergistic blend of researched ingredients. The formula's official page describes it as the "most complete brain nutrition product on the planet," but this statement is of course an exaggeration of an overzealous marketing campaign. Although the product does seem to include a high number of active ingredients, there is no evidence to support the quality of the raw materials or the compliance with the GMP regulation during the manufacturing process of the formula. In addition, there is no study to support the blend's effectiveness (using these amounts of active substances) in alleviating symptoms of mood disorders or improving brain functioning (under any aspect). There is indeed a lot of research involving each of the key ingredients, individually, but the resulted benefits don't automatically transfer to this entirely new formula. There are many other aspects to be considered, including those related to the safety of this formulation. These important aspects seem to be overlooked by the producer.
Our advice is to not use such a product without first consulting an informed healthcare professional who can explain all the potential risks associated with its use.

Rooney wonder goal lifts spirits of toiling champions
For all the flak that has come Moyes's way this season, his handling of Rooney has been impeccable

English football has long overblown the importance of the captain, but on a cold east London evening there was ultimately a sense that it was the performance of the man who filled the role for Manchester United more than their actual victory here that provided this most beleaguered of clubs with hope for better times ahead.
That much could be taken from David Moyes who, a week on from looking as pale as a distressed ghost after United's wretched defeat to Liverpool, had the glow of a man who knew he had done good in handing Wayne Rooney the responsibility of being United's skipper against West Ham in the absence of the suspended Nemanja Vidic and his deputy Patrice Evra.
This was not the first time Rooney had been United's captain but it was undeniably his most eye-catching display with the armband. The 28-year-old was a relentlessly threatening presence until he was replaced by Javier Hernandez late on and scored both his side's goals, the first of which will be spoken about, and no doubt shown on television, for years to come.
For all the flak that has come Moyes's way this season – and there has been scope for plenty – his handling of Rooney has been impeccable, with the Scot transforming a disillusioned and out-of-form striker into a seemingly settled and once again lethal presence.
Standout contender
After this win, United's second in succession after their Champions League triumph over Olympiakos, Moyes stuck to the line that he will not decide on United's new captain until next season, but equally he gave plenty of indications that Rooney is the standout contender.
In all senses, Rooney was the leader of a United side that performed here with a level of control, invention and purpose that has rarely been seen this season. Granted, the opposition were poor: West Ham mustered just one effort on target, an early header from Andy Carroll that forced David de Gea into a routine save. But United were better throughout and, in truth, should have left Upton Park with a more resounding victory. Stationed alongside Michael Carrick in a makeshift backline, Phil Jones put in another assured centre-half display, while Darren Fletcher dictated play from central midfield with such measure that it is hard to believe he has only recently returned from a debilitating illness. Alongside him Marouane Fellaini had arguably his best game in a United shirt, as did Juan Mata who, after the long-term injury sustained by Robin van Persie, came in to his more favoured number 10 role.
Taking his place was Shinji Kagawa, who also excelled. But ultimately all eyes were on Rooney. Those in attendance had barely made themselves comfortable when they witnessed a moment of stunning ingenuity. Collecting Ashley Young's lofted ball, Rooney gave James Tomkins the faintest of nudges before launching a 57-yard volley towards goal. The ball sailed into the clouds before coming down and, with West Ham's goalkeeper Adrian having lost his senses and bearings, bounced once before hitting the net.
Rooney's second on 33 minutes owed much to good fortune, with the striker in the right place at the right time to convert a poor clearance and score his 15th of the season.

Slater Traps
This year we planted a whole pile of assorted seedlings. Twice. Both times I have gone out the next day to water and they have all been gone. Eaten by bleedin" slaters. We get slaters here. Lots of slaters. Some people say that they are not a problem, they only eat rubbish stuff, they help clean up the gardens. I say no, they are horrible little critters that eat any newly planted plant. They can eat out the inside of a rockmelon from the bottom up and you wont know until you go to pick the rockmelon. They eat potatoes. Tomatoes. Chockoes...
They hide under mulch and sneak out in the dark and gobble up anything green. So I have removed most of the mulchy stuff and because they seem to love Choko leaves that is what I am using for traps. I pick a dozen or so leaves and put them around the gardens. Overnight the slaters go to the leaves and start munching away.
The next morning I come out early and lift the leaf and give the slaters a blast of flame from the gas gun. I hope it is quick, I try for it to be because even though I don't like them eating all our food I do want them killed in a humane-ish way. So quick is the aim.
This is one job that I get slack on though. If I come out and there is only 1 leaf of the 2 in the trap left then I know numbers are dwindling. But I also know that I need to keep up checking, laying down leaves and blasting any slaters under them.
Without using poisons how do you rid your food garden of these pests?
2 comments:
Put onion, garlic, hot pepper in a blender with a cup of hot water. Blend. Cool in the refrigerator. Next morning, strain well. Use about 1/4 cup in a hand sprayer with a Tbsp of cooking oil and 1 tsp Dawn. Shake and spray the plants. You can actually kill the plant if you spray too much. This will repel bugs not kill them. I sprayed once a day and kept all bugs off my plants, using NO poison at all. Maybe you can soak the ground before you plant. You can use the one gallon sprayer. Kust add a couple of cups of the blended stuff and 1/4 cup or so of vegetable oil and same of Dawn. Do you have Dawn in AU? Get original formula or reduce the amount of the concentrated Dawn.ReplyDeleteReplies
I was going to try this a few years ago but *forgot* One day when I have all those things spare I might give it a go, thanks. Not sure if we have Dawn but presume any detergent would work...Delete

"Inasmuch as one is prominent in power, just as much one ought to be prominent in virtue." -- Photius, Letter to Michael, Prince of Bulgaria.
There must be an unwritten law which holds that, as programs for universal government and world courts advance, the exercise of religious morality in public life becomes increasingly hopeless.
Case in point: The European Parliament has issued a new report on "fundamental rights," which demands an end to the centuries-old ban on the entry of women to Mt. Athos, the ancient monastic community in northern Greece. The EU report, released by French EU Deputy Fode Sylla, also called on Greece to lift criminal penalties for women caught entering the monastic zone. The EU report said the restriction is a violation of the international conventions on gender equality, non-discrimination and the "free movement of persons."
No one is calling for the establishment of Christianity as the official religion of Europe, just an acknowledgement of self-evident historical facts. But the omission of Christianity in the earlier draft EU constitution, and the assault on Mt. Athos, is telling.
Simply put, the Church, its truths and traditions, represents a stumbling block to the EU's growing ambitions for power. Against Judeo-Christian morality stands the EU's doctrine of fundamental rights -- a lengthy laundry list of Euro-socialist pieties, covering everything from terrorism (solved by building a "genuinely multipolar world") to legalized euthanasia ("an extremely delicate subject"). How will the EU superstate of the future exercise power in a way that is informed by its culture's moral truths and traditions? EU statecrafters won't have to; they will simply draw up more lists of rights and grievances.
In effect, the EU is censoring history to make it more pliable for its own ideological ends. On the matter of the draft constitution, Archbishop Christodoulos warned that events of the 20th Century showed how an ideology allied with a powerful elite could lead to tragedy: "The peoples of Europe have suffered greatly at the hands of small but powerful groups that have wished to fit history and our will to their hands."

Tom Anderson S Pro Am
Pro Am
is the one that really started it all for us.
Back in the mid to late 80's, humbucker pickups and the Floyd Rose locking-tremolo bridge found its way into the double-cut-away guitars and a whole new style of Rock was launched. Also in the mid 80's, a whole new guitar company was launched, Tom Anderson Guitarworks. As we stated in our first magazine ad, "We are a small American company dedicated to creating the world's finest feeling, playing and sounding electric guitars. Period!" Well, it was this commitment that led to the Pro Am—the most amazing feeling, playing and sounding guitar to appear on the scene. It changed everything in the guitar world!
One original customer described it quite well after playing his new Pro Am, "This is the best guitar I've ever played. Thanks for ruining all my other guitars for me

1. Re: 82579LM and PIX 515 Firewall Compatibilitydougb Sep 12, 2011 11:57 AM (in response to BDub)
Sorry to hear your having some troubles. Here is some things to try to see if it helps out.
I'm assuming you mean the Cisco PIX. Which version? I found this on wikipedia, and might be worth trying for you...
According to a 2000 field notice, due to a "procedural error", PIX 525s with serial numbers 44480380055 through 44480480044 were manufactured with erroneous or omitted EEPROM programming in their 82559 chips that caused the onboard FastEthernet ports to behave erratically when set to full-duplex. Starting with PIX OS 5.3.1, the "eeprom update" command will reprogram the defective data and restore normal operation permanently. Viewing the field notice requires registration [92]. Most, if not all, 525s in use today within that range have likely been corrected, but an unused or unopened unit within that range would still need the corrective action to be taken.
I would put WireShark on the 82579 side and see if the packets coming back from the PIX are there. And since the PIX is only 10/100, you should be able to put the PIX on a hub and get the data from it as well.
I'm guessing once you see what is coming and going to both sides you'll see the troubles.

My order of seed packets from Fertile Valley Seeds arrived this week!
Fertile Valley Seeds is the seed company started and run by Carol Deppe, author of Breed Your Own Vegetables and The Resilient Gardener:
After enjoying The Resilient Gardener and identifying with many of the author's interests and goals in being able to grow a reliable food supply, I ordered these 6 packets to try this year and next:
While Carol Deppe also lives in Oregon, she is in the Willamette Valley, which has some substantial differences from the climate from southwestern Oregon where we are at. I am very curious to see how her varieties do here and if I can adapt them over the years to our location.
With our hot and dry summers, I think we may do better with the corn varieties. I'm not sure how the 3 types of beans will perform. I need to get the popbeans (chick peas) in to the ground soon!
– I planted 50 of the popbeans into the uphill side of one of my hugelbeds in the arboretum on 4/26/11. We are still having plenty of cool weather and some light rain, so we will see how long it will take for them to sprout.
– The popbeans are up! I returned back from a conference in Florida to find that they had sprouted and are growing well. Most were several inches high and starting to put out true leaves. It looks like ~45 of the 50 beans germinated and made it this far. Not bad…
If you haven't grown garbonzo/chick peas before, they are pretty different looking from what the standard garden beans look like.
Here are a couple shots from 5-11-11:
Another shot from 5-24-11 – most plants are from 4-6″ high now and looking good:
These have received no supplemental water or fertilizer to date. The weather has been quite cool, with temperatures down in the 30's-40's at nights and mostly 60's during the day. I've recorded about 1.5″ of rain since they have been planted in late April.
