An herb of bright yellow, umbrella-shaped flowers, lomatium was widely used among native peoples of North America as a treatment for a variety of infections, especially those involving the lungs. Reportedly, use of this herb protected the Washoe Indian tribe of Nevada from suffering any deaths during the 1917/1918 worldwide pandemic of influenza. It was also said to be useful for pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Lomatium is currently regarded by some herbalists as an effective treatment for many types of viral infection, including HIV, viral hepatitis, colds and flus, acute bronchitis, sinusitis, and herpes. However, there is no meaningful scientific evidence that lomatium is helpful for these conditions, nor indeed that it has any antiviral effects at all. The story mentioned above about the great influenza pandemic of 1917/1918 cannot be taken as meaningful evidence of benefit; like all other great plagues, the influenza pandemic gave rise to innumerable rumors of cures, none of which have held up to scientific testing.
At most, there is exceedingly weak evidence from a small number of test-tube studies hinting hint that Lomatium species might have antiviral properties.1-3 However, tens or hundreds of thousands of substances have shown antiviral effects in the test tube; very seldom do benefits hypothesized from preliminary test tube studies hold up when human studies are performed. Only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can show a treatment effective, and no studies of this type have been performed on lomatium. (For information on why such studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?)
Lomatium is typically used in the form of a resin-free extract, taken at a dose of 1–3 ml daily.
Lomatium has not undergone any modern safety testing. Reportedly, lomatium resin frequently causes allergic reactions leading to a whole-body rash; this is why resin-free products are sold. In addition, lomatium may cause digestive distress. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been evaluated.

I have made a ton of money over the last few years with Netflix and Apple because I listened to the buzz and recognized growth potential very early on. My question is, what is next? Who is the next Apple? Is it Apple?
I think we are in the middle of the next "internet boom" and that "boom" is mobile smartphones/tablets. Maybe the next big thing is the same as the last big thing?
I am curious what you guys think and wonder if there is some non tech product that you might think is the next big thing.

text: June 3, 2014 at 6:05 AM HBO's John Oliver to Internet commenters: 'Channel your anger' Posted by Thanh Tan Comedian and host John Oliver delivered an epic diatribe Sunday night on HBO's "Last Week Tonight" against cable companies seeking to create a "fast track" at a premium price for popular websites. If you haven't tracked this issue or are looking for a good laugh, watch the segment below. (WARNING: Oliver uses some strong language throughout the commentary. The video contains several "beep" sounds, but viewers will notice it's still obvious what he's saying. So — listen with headphones on if you're at work or around kids.) The gist of Oliver's argument is this: If cable companies such as Comcast and Time Warner (which are trying to merge into one mega-company) can make net neutrality sound as mundane as possible, no one will care about their effort to fundamentally change the Internet, where all information is available at the same speed. "The cable companies have figured out if you want to do something evil, put it inside something boring," he says. More Comments | Topics: fcc, hbo, john oliver

Round Empire Fleet
You know who these guys are, they're mysterious, maybe they're glowing energy beings running around in exo-suits, whatever. Vorlons, Protoss, those alien girls with the cabbits and wooden Zen spaceships from Tenchi Muyo, those blue-skinned rockers from that Daft Punk video, whoever. Generally their technology is very advanced, and their political structures are crappy monarchies.
Round Aushad
Notes: I really liked the Aushad and the Ojebed designs from the book. At first, I thought that the color choices (black, white, light gray, dark gray) were supposed to be actually findable on Bricklink. And then I ran into this guy, 30035 Space Scanner Tool, and I discovered that the part didn't exist in dark gray or dark bley. I was actually kind of stumped, but then I saw that it came in good old space-y blue. So. All my Round ships keep the white primary color, use blue as a secondary color instead of dark bley, and keep little scraps of light bley around. And since rules these still don't work 100%, the Aushad's primary drive cones are white instead of blue, etc.
Round Ojebed
Notes: I really like the Ojebed design as an example of a 'non-humanoid' or 'non-boat/plane' spaceship. And yeah, that might be the hand off a Batman minifig. I bet he had a really bad day.
Round Zealous
Fluff: The empire is ancient and its ways are mysterious. Often encounters with the Round end in violence, rarely in diplomacy, and even rarer in outright piracy. This Zealous has had its life support systems heavily altered for a regional Round client species that did not have advanced-enough technology to field a ship of their own.
Notes: Also, because I ended hosting all these ships on my desk at work, I wanted to have 5 TAs a side without repeating myself.
Round Frame Company
Notes: While I do love me some mecha suits, I figured that one of my fleets should use fighter jet-like drone craft. And since I really do love the design of the Ojebed, I decided to try and make Ojebeds as teensy as possible. Also, the reason I'm calling my fleets Round and Square is based on the brick shape of their mobile frames.
Round Frame Company w/Ace
Notes: I liked the white and blue color scheme so much that I didn't really want to color my aces too differently. The slightly bigger but still tiny Ojebed fighter is currently acting as a red ace, for a yin-yang feel to the fleet.
Crystal Tugboat
Fluff: Sure, the inscrutable hi-tech aliens can make energy from nothing and have a secret religion, but they still need to haul raw materials across the vastness of space. For some reason, however, it always seems to be crystals of some kind. What, are they going to crush them into powder and light the powder on fire (a la coal)? Nobody knows...
Notes: I guess this is my first MOC as a grown-up? The front half is stolen from the Ojebed, naturally.
Space Princess Star Garden v2
Fluff: Of course there need to be flying pleasure gardens, filled with a princess or two, fountains, statues, a grand walkway under an impractical domed canopy, etc. Certainly if this vessel were captured by lowly humans, then important Questions would be Raised.
- This is the back half of an Ojebed (I know, again) flipped sideways and with one of these canopies draped on the front.
- Yes, I know, there's like a half plate gap between the bottom of the windscreen and the top of the 'gondola'. Suggestions would be appreciated.
- I'm looking forward to the day when this corner piece gets rendered in any shade of gold
- I was pleased with the amount of detail I could jam under the canopy. It's supposed to be a reflecting pool/blue fire pit, some fountains, some obelisks, and a giant-scale throne.
- I don't have a picture of it, but I could also stick on a skeleton minifig head and some small white horns and make it look like a giant skeletal torso is hurtling through the dread expanse of infinity.
- The white plant matter? Thanks, Frozen!
- Lastly, you want to see version 1? Here. I like it, but I decided it was a little too purple, so I went back to a white and blue color scheme.
Interstellar Dinosaur
Fluff: Migrating endlessly across a fifth of the galactic disc, frequent visits in antiquity by interstellar dinosaurs to a small, cold world inspired its inhabitants to look to the stars. The Round Empire does not consider itself indebted very often, but to these majestic animals they owe much. To the Square Federation, the strategic importance of these creatures can be summed up in one word: bacon.
Notes: I was inspired to make this from the 'oceanic' level of the original StarFox, Sector Y, that and Atavism's work making other cool space critters (that catfish!) My only regret is that I can't think of a good way to give it a fuzzy mane of some kind, something maybe using glittery trans blue flame/wave pieces. Oh, and the only reason the rear wedge plate is dark blue is because the regular blue version (the last blue one was made a while ago) is missing the ability to attach something with one stud. I need to get around to submitting one of those official BrickLink update requests.
Square Federation Fleet
These folks should also be pretty familiar. A bit like Trek, but a little darker perhaps. You know, square jaws and square guns, that sort of thing.
Square Palau
Notes: A couple of things here
- Since the Round ships' sort of 'feature color' was blue, I wanted the counterpoint fleet to feature red. However, plain old red was very bright, kind of a McDonald's color almost. So, for the Square fleet, pretty much all of the solid areas using white were changed out for dark red.
- It turns out that Part 4855, 4x4 Inverted Triple Wedge is a lot rarer in light bley than in light gray. It looks like that piece in that color was only ever used for some promotional airplane models. This gave me the idea that all the Square ships' light bley parts should be light gray. It's worked out for the most part. Even though that color is discontinued, most of what I needed could be got very reasonably.
Square Samar
Notes: One of the wrinkles about using the dark red color scheme is that there's no dark red boat stud. I was sorely tempted to use this proton pack part, but it turned out the primary color on that one is black, not dark bley. In the end I went with the square tile because it was square.
Square Liberator
Fluff: Owing to an acute shortage of war material, a civilian vessel (or 'can boat') was dragooned into Square Fleet. The override interlocks were taken off the impulse engine, a hacked communications array was installed, and the hold was filled with missiles. May God have mercy on their souls.
Notes: You'll notice a number of part and color substitutions on the Liberator, the most out of any of the ships I made. You'll see why in a minute. I was confused as to why this bracket hasn't been made in dark bley yet.
Square Frame Company
Notes: I didn't like the book's take on a simple frame company. I thought I could do a little better. These little fellas are only 4 parts each, same as the Round frame units.
Square Frame Company w/Ace
Notes: This is the book's standard ace frame, although I felt like a doof when I initially missed the 1x1 rounds on the hips. It's modelling as the blue ace, to give the whole scenario a bit of yin-yang.
Cargo Ship
Fluff: This cargo ship is carrying critical supplies to WhereverTheHeck 4. I just thought you should know that.
Notes: Say you want to make a set of ships color-keyed off of Star Trek uniform colors. Aside from plain yellow, LEGO has some serious color-holes around different yellows and greens. I think I would have loved to plate this in olive green, but I guess LEGO restricts that color to just crocodile people minifigs. Oh, and the command module in the middle is actually a crane (never mind that the extra cargo pods have holes in the bottom...) Here's a picture of that.
Hold on tight!
Science Vessel
Fluff: Who's on board this ship? Scientists? Diplomats? Some sort of frankensteiny 'diplotists'? Whoever they are, the Square Federation hasn't seen fit to put them in a ship with actual guns on it, so...they can't be that important, right?
- I had a hard time thinking of what else even goes on a 'science ship' other than a big telescope. Then I thought of those habitat/ecology pods from Silent Running.
- Cargo ship Science vessel :snerk:
- I'm actually glad that there's no 1x3 tile in pearl gold. The 1x4 tiles on this ship are actually structural because of the command module I stuck in the nose. Liberators sure are neat.
What the??
- Square Federation tactical assessment: While the self-styled 'Doctor' is not normally counted as an ally of the Square Federation, strategic command believes that letting him fall into the hands of the Round represents an untenable 'doctor gap' in the region.
- Round Empire tactical assessment: Doctor who?
Notes: Can I admit that I'm not very good at designing ships myself?
Okay, that's pretty much it. If you've gotten this far, hats off to you. Now I just have to go find a game somewhere!

"Stone IPA, is the longest full-time production West Coast-style IPA on the planet. We first came out with it in 1997 and have been producing it ever since. I don't think there are any other West Coast style IPAs that have been in production full time longer. That I'm aware of, and I could be wrong."This is just not right. There are enough caveats in this statement that it's hard to know what Greg's claiming here, but in the inventory of my own drafty memory I can pull one out--BridgePort IPA, introduced in 1996. Perhaps this doesn't meet the narrow definition Greg wants to claim, but if he's looking to place Stone in the place of ur-IPA and craft beer influencer, it's just not persuasive. He continues:
"Arrogant Bastard, considered to be the progenitor of the American strong ale category, Stone Ruination IPA, the very first full-time production double IPA on the planet. Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale, one of the most popular black IPAs and a beer that is credited for helping to popularize the segment. We were not the first by any stretch--of course Greg Noonan in Vermont in the early 1990s was creating black IPA. But we have had the opportunity to do some things that stuck and became perhaps somewhat influential in the craft brewing industry."Again, from the memory attic, I trundle out Alan Sprints and his work with strong beers in the years before Stone, including Fred. American barley wines had been been been around years and years. The concept of "double IPA" is an American invention and narrow enough perhaps to support the claim Greg makes--but strong hoppy beers have been around forever and certainly weren't invented by Americans. And I have no doubt that if we had something more reliable than my memory, we could probably find examples of American beers that were earlier than Stone--after all, I came up with examples off the top of my mind. To his credit, Greg cites the history of dark, hoppy English ales made over a hundred years ago as evidence that black IPAs are nothing new. Surely he recognizes that there's nothing really new under the sun, right?
It is a peculiarly American instinct to want to be the first at anything. There's something alluring about staking your place in the short history of American craft brewing, and no harm in that. But to substantiate these claims requires ignoring the centuries of brewing that happened before American craft beer came on the scene, and probably excluding early examples by some other brewery--now perhaps defunct and unable to defend itself--that fails to meet the narrow definitions of style or region. Greg Koch helms one of the most successful breweries in the world and one of the most admired. That's pretty good.

In the 21st century, with social life changing, we have to make an effort to catch up with our studies. By this I mean we need to do homework, which the teachers always pile on us. There are many different opinions about the benefits of homework. In my opinion, there are both advantages and disadvantages.
[I'm not sure what you mean by "study to catch up this modern life" so I've put something which is correct but might not be what you have in mind.
There is no verb in sentence three. Every sentence must contain a verb.
You can say something is controversial, or you can say there different opinions about it, but you can't say there are different controversies.]
The main advantage of doing homework is that it helps us to remember the information taught to us in the class. In addition, by seeing our written work, our teachers find out what we learnt and understood. From this, they might change their method of teaching to make it easier to understand their lessons. Moreover, doing a lot of homework may provide some necessary knowledge to make it easier for us to find a good job in the future.
[There was quite a bit of repetition in this so I've just tidied it up a bit]
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages to homework. It can cause especial stress, which is harmful in our lives. Having to stuff many facts into our brains through excessive homework may not only useless to us, but may also get us stressed very easily. Moreover, it may have bad effect on our health [such as wearing glasses of students, even little kids.]
[If a sentence starts "Besides that," it means that what follows agrees with what we have just put. But here, you are writing the opposite, the disadvantages, so "On the other hand" is better.
"Knowledge" is always singular. I suggest "facts".
I would avoid the part about wearing glasses, if you are saying that reading leads to having to bad eyesight -- it doesn't. At worst, it might cause headaches. Perhaps instead: "It may have a bad effect on our health, such as headaches caused by having to work too late into the night."
It is "effect" when a noun -- as here -- and "affect" when a verb. e.g. "It had a bad effect on my health", but "My health was badly affected by it."]
To sum up, doing homework is very important to review our knowledge but we must not overuse it and force our children to do it all day. [?Nothing is perfect.] Therefore, we have to find the right balance between doing homework and relaxing through outside activities and such-like.
[I'm not sure what you mean by "Nothing is perfect" here.]

text: Ideas - Summer Ideas - Summer Make sure your summer if packed full of fun and excited activities for your family and for yourself! So make this a summer to remember and fill in your loved one of all your fun! A few ideas: 1. Take LOTS of pictures of the kids at swim lessons, barbecue's, school functions, church functions and create scrapbook pages! Mail a Binder and the first page to your loved one. Then follow with additional pages every 2 weeks or when you have pages filled. Not only will this keep a constant mail flow but it will keep him/her up to date on your activities! Don't' forget to let the kids design a few pages themselves!!! 2. Carry a disposable camera everywhere you go. Keep one in your car, one in your purse, one in the kids' back packs. They are about $10 each unless you find them on sale. Put together a collage of things that remind you of Dad or Mom. Have the kids take pictures of things they see that make them think about dad/mom as well as your pictures. Put them together to create a photo essay. 3. Mission: Camp Home! Create a mini camp for your kids at home. Put together a theme and make different arts and crafts, paint a T-shirt, design a door hanging for their room, take pictures, make cards, make folders, picture frames. Photograph your "camp" and send them to mom/dad. Summers are a great time to get the kids busy, as well as yourself, and involved in activities that make deployment fly by. Be sure to include dad/mom in all your activities!4. Pick Nick BasketHow about sending your loved one a pic nick care package? Find a small basket or box, line it with a linen napkin and include such pic nick items as: Juice Boxes, meats (salami, canned ham, etc) crackers, cheese (pre-packaged, such as you would find at Hickory Farms), chips, fruit roll ups, nuts, cookies, candies, brownies, pickles, olives, etc. You can also throw in some plastic ants for fun! You won't be able to send him/her every pic nick item you have, but it will be fun for them to enjoy their basket while they watch the video of you and the kids. 5. Seed PacketsHave the kids draw pictures of themselves outside. Then glue small flower seeds to the bottom of their drawings and attach a note saying, "My love for you grows like wildflowers". And also, attach a package of wildflower seeds. You can pick up a package of seeds for under $1 at your local market. Helpful hints for Summer Care Package Mailing: For those of you who have loved ones deployed to the hotter areas of the world, as much as they like chocolate, do not mail it! During this weather chocolate and caramel end up arriving in one goopy mess. Brownies are USUALLY safe to mail, as long as you pack them efficiently. However, with brownies being so moist, if they are being shipped to a tropical region, there is always the possibility of them mildewing.This is a good time to send such items as: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried meats, crackers, chips, fruit roll ups, etc. POWDERED DRINK MIX!!! This can be a life saver. Next time you see PRE-SWEETENED powdered drink mix on sale, pick some up and include it in your next care package. They can easily be added to a canteen of water for a nice refreshing treat. Prev Next

A big thank-you to those readers who are members of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) and who, in a pre-Thanksgiving surprise, elected me to a two-year term on the organization's board. (And I hope that any reader who is not a member will consider becoming one.) I expect to learn a lot, but here is where I started (from my pre-election statement):
Over the past three years I have benefited from listening and participating on APG's email list, from reading the quarterly, from attending the Professional Management Conference, from involvement in the Great Lakes Chapter -- and from working the table at conferences! I'd like to put my experience to work, and build on past volunteers' accomplishments, by helping APG become both more inclusive and more professional.
Inclusive: by making transparency a priority, including prompt publication of board and EC minutes.
Professional: by encouraging, recognizing, and eventually requiring continuing education among members -- or in some other appropriate way acting on Tom Jones's critique published in the December 2007 APG Quarterly. His point was that for genealogy to mature, its professional organization needs to ask more of its members than just to pay dues and subscribe to a code of ethics.

Weight-Loss Vacations on the Cheap
What could be better than kick starting your diet with a vacation?
Jan. 10, 2013 -- This is the time of year people have weight-loss on the brain, and what could be better than kick starting your diet with a vacation? Beautiful surroundings, professionals to assist you and the relaxation of a vacation, plus a thinner you at the end. But these vacations often come with a hefty price tag. Here are a few tips for finding a cheap weight-loss vacation and a few suggestions to get your search started.
Stay local
Go to the weight loss section of SpaFinder.com to search for weight loss spas near you by organizing results by distance.If you can drive rather than fly, that's already a huge chunk of change saved. It's also a great place to search for deals.
Make it quick
Many places offer programs that are little as three days long. If you're looking to jump start a weight-loss program and learn a few core lessons about fitness and eating, this is a great way to do it rather than the traditional seven-day trips.
Go right now
January and early February aren't big travel times, so resorts will often discount to attract guests.
Months to avoid
May or June. Everyone's looking to shape up for summer and there are few deals available.
Look for "Weekend After" discounts
Go on a spa vacation right after a holiday weekend, like Fourth of July, Memorial Day or Labor Day - often called a "soft" weekend since room rates generally come down.
Three options in varying price points:
1. Money's not an object: Canyon Ranch, Tucson, Ariz.
$6,960 per person for a seven-night trip.
Includes: accommodations, spa and wellness services; more than 40 indoor and outdoor fitness activities daily; guided hikes and biking excursions; Daily selection of talks, workshops and cooking demonstrations; Round-trip ground transportation to and from the Tucson International airport; taxes and resort amenity fees.
The deal: 20 percent off for first timers. Discounted price: $5560
2. Half the price: Safety Harbor Resort & Spa, Tampa Bay, Fla.
$2,500 for a six-night trip.
Includes: The Wellness for Life program includes accommodations, physician consultations, nutrition consultations, daily massages, person training, daily fitness classes, three meals a day, spa access, airport transfers and more.
The deal: Offering seperate all-inclusive spa packages from $89 per night. Does not include the Wellness for Life program.
3. Incredible value: Pura Vida Adventures, Costa Rica
$2,395 for a six-night, seven-day trip.
Includes: Beachfront accommodations, daily surf instruction, daily yoga, three healthy gourmet meals per day, hikes, day trips, beachside BBQs, salsa dancing lessons, a massage and more.
The deal: $500 off the last two camps in February (Feb 16th – 22nd and Feb 25 – March 3rd). Discounted price: $1,895.

Blue Ribbon Granola
First up:
Orange Dried Cherries (They are good on their own but are a wonderful addition to granola.)
*Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2- 10 oz. bags of frozen cherries
1/2 to 1 cup (enough to cover the cherries) Orange juice (I used orange mango)
1/4 cup honey
secret ingredient-a little orange zest
In a medium saucepan on medium heat, bring all ingredients to a boil. Turn heat to low and allow mixture to simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated and the juice is thick. Don't stir. If you really want to stir it, just swirl the pot around. Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove cherries and place them in a single layer on a silicone pad lined cookie sheet (or parchment paper or non-stick cookie sheet.) Dry in preheated oven
for about 2 hours, checking every 20-30 minutes. You want them to be chewy. If you have a dehydrator, cool. Use it.
Orange Cherry Pecan Granola
* Preheat oven to 275 degrees
4 cups grains (I use a mixture of oatmeal, wheat flakes, barley flakes, and rye flakes)
2 cups nuts (the winning recipe used blanched almonds and pecans)
1/2 cup flax seeds
1/2-3/4 cups honey (depending on how sweet you want it)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
sprinklings of sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg
secret ingredient-2 Tbs. orange juice
Orange zest
Orange Dried Cherries
Combine all ingredients except zest and cherries in a medium-sized bowl. Spread mixture onto a non-stick or foil-lined cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 30 minutes to an hour. Stir every 10-15 minutes after 30 minutes. You want the granola a golden brown. You are stirring so the sides don't get too brown. Remove granola from the oven and sprinkle with orange zest. Allow granola to cool before adding dried cherries and packaging.
It's great on yogurt or with milk as a cereal. Other flavoring options: add a teaspoon of vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, coconut or almond extract. You could also add peanut butter and replace the honey with maple syrup or agave necter.
Other fruits: dehydrated or freeze-dried strawberries, peaches, raisins, currents, flaked coconut, blueberries, apples, banana chips, etc.
Other nuts and seeds: slivered almonds (just be careful that they don't get too brown too quickly), peanuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds (they are in the picture above but I didn't use them in my award winning recipe), sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, etc.
Enjoy! Let me know if you try it.

I'm trying to write a program that would read any file (in binary mode) and print, or write as a text file, the bits of the program.
Is there a function in STD that would do something like that?
My program doesn't do much at this point. It just reads a file in binary mode and stores the data as a char*.
I guess what I need right now is the fastest way to convert that char pointer into binary digits. The digits will probably be in a char array - by groups of 8.
So how would I reliably and quickly convert all those chars to binary digits.Code:ifstream::pos_type size; char* mem; int main () { ifstream file("test.dll", ios::in|ios::binary|ios::ate); size = file.tellg(); mem = new char[size]; file.seekg (0, ios::beg); file.read (mem, size); file.close(); delete[] mem; return 0; }
The plan is to open any file, store its 'binary digits' in a text file and be able to later open that text file and convert those binary digits into the same file.

Add to history
Welcome to the Profiles in Courage guide at TV Tome. This series was based on the 1956 Pulitzer Prize winning book of the same name by then-Senator John F. Kennedy. Each of the historical dramas covered one public figure who served as a model of virtue and courage under pressure. Each subject took an unpopular stand and persevered in their pursuit of justice and the right path, in spite of the coercion and vilification of the majority. "This book is not just the stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us."
"from the book's foreword by Robert F. Kennedy

"Everyday Google™ sells several $10 million's in pay-per-clicks. But
That's right – Start Sharing in the *Incredible* Secret So Few Others Know About that Allow Them to Actually Get All Their Pay-Per-Click Advertising Absolutely FREE!
Fast facts about this amazing NEW SECRET!...
This is an incredible system developed by none other than Dr Jon Cohen, MD (retired) who found a little-known "twist" in how to use the pay-per-click (PPC) and paid-for targeted advertising programs at Google™ and the other search engines.
This system has nothing to do with Google™ "vouchers" or "AdWords™ credits."
Instead, Dr Jon's system is very unique to say the least, and allows for the elimination of advertisers having to suffer the burden of costs of their Google™ and otherwise paid-for search engine advertising expenses!
It can even create many additional streams of income flooding money directly into your pocket very quickly!
Above all, it's unlike anything you've ever seen!...
Wednesday, 9:35 a.m.
Dear Friend,
I hope you hate spending money on all your Google™ pay-per-click advertising, because if you do you're in luck!
Finally, after many years of getting ALL my PPCs at Google&trade,; Yahoo, MSN and literally 100's of other TOP Search Engines for FREE, I'm finally ready to let YOU in on "MY" most closely-guarded secret!
The FACT is: I've been advertising on Google™ (the world's TOP search engine!) as well as on Yahoo, MSN and literally 100's of others WITHOUT spending any money!
>> I've literally enjoyed over $12 million a
And BEST of all, I'm NOT lying (I really do get literally $millions$ in FREE advertising each & every year at ALL the TOP Search Engines!)
And *MY* secret has made me very, very, AMAZINGLY RICH!
But the ironic thing is: It wouldn't surprise me
… and I don't really care either.
I'm not one of the more popular well-known Internet gurus who loves rubbing his name in your face over and over again! (I mean, who cares who they are, or who I am? -- We are all just people regardless of how well-known or rich we become, right?)
I have personally owned and operated 16 different Web-Businesses over the last 9 years (since the mid-1990's) and have sold EVERYTHING you can imagine!
Yes, I've even done the whole "eBay" thing!
I've now built well over a dozen Internet-based firms that specialize in selling everything from women's cosmetics, men & women's clothing, electronic publishing (i.e., ebooks), hardcopy publishing (real "tangible" books), special industrial machinery, building supplies, pet food & pet supplies/toys, children & adult games, DVDs/CDs, Subscriptions, all the way to Memberships Sites (with recurring billing!)
Plus a lot of other things too!
And in selling all these things with all these Web-businesses I've owned, I've NEVER paid for any advertising whatsoever!
>> I learned an amazing secret very early on
You see, the BEST part of having my secret in YOUR possession is this: You NEVER have to worry how expensive all your PPC-advertising is because quite simply, IT DOESN'T MATTER!
You can set your PPC account as follows WITHOUT any worries with *MY* NEW amazing secret:
Imagine living in this home just like I do!
Think of my "secret" this way:
Say you went to the heads of Google&trade,; Yahoo, MSN and 100's of other TOP Search Engines, and got to be good friends with them, and then they suddenly said to you:
"Don't worry ever again on paying for
Would you take them up on this offer?
You'd be crazy not too, right?
Just think of how rich you'd get as a result of all this incredible advertising, where you NEVER experienced any risks on advertising because it didn't cost you a thing!
"How I beat the problem of having to pay
Last year I was able to eliminate ALL of my pay-per-click advertising costs because I used my own 'secret' which allows me to do away forever with the burden of costs of targeted PPC ads.On that note...

"The 3 most important strategies you
But from among them there are just 3 principle strategies you must use that will forever put you above and beyond your competition, allow you to promote any product you want, and allow you to gain online riches faster than most everyone else!
"Here's how my breakthrough
The first thing you would do is go to Google's AdWords Welcome/Get Started Page…
You'd then click the "Sign up now >>" button and arrive here:
You'd select Standard Edition which would take you here:
You'd select whatever languages you'd want for your Google™ ads.
Then you'd go here to select which countries you want your ads to appear in:
Next, you'd go here to write your ad:
You'd then cut-n-paste your keywords and keyword phrases you want for your ad campaign on this page that comes next:
You can even use Google's own 'related keyword' generation tool that will help you think of far more keywords than you may have thought by yourself!
The next page to come will be where you set your daily budget and bid defaults (CPC = Cost Per Click) that you'll want:
>>> Notice how I couldn't care less, but am willing to go as high as $10,000 (US) a day for my daily budget, and $100 a single 'click' (CPC default) thereby ensuring that no one beats me to the TOP PLACEMENT positions for ALL my choicest select keywords and phrases for anything I sell!
Now my ad campaign is ready to begin:
My ad is written and meets Google's approval algorithms, plus I have ALL my choicest keywords and phrases to target my select audience, AND my daily budget and default bids are set so well that I'm guaranteed only the TOP CHOICE SELECT PLACEMENT on Google's FRONT PAGES and for EVERY SINGLE KEYWORD (or phrase) I've chosen!
I'm then ready to set-up my ad and have Google™ showing my ads just minutes from now!
The whole process taking less than 6-11 minutes usually to get started!
But, this is where my simple secret comes in that eliminates the costs you'd have to pay otherwise (like 99.9999% of everyone else!)
This way, even if before I would have ran up a daily cost of $2,000 on pay-per-clicks, NOW I don't have to pay this charge using what I now have mastered!
And this is a secret *YOU* cannot afford to pass up either!
I mean, on what you'd spend for my secret, you'd throw
So why continue throwing all your money away when you could be saving (and therefore PROFITING MORE!) your money instead using my amazing -- but very simple -- SECRET?
Instructional Content Disclaimer: Further, the system it involves neither has anything to do with any "AdWords™ and/or AdSense™ credits or vouchers," nor the direct provision by Google™ to the customer any direct free advertising at anytime; nor any free pay-per-click or otherwise paid-for advertising directly; but rather is a system that if applied correctly and properly and effectively, and as instructed per the author's direction, may allow for the elimination of the burden of costs pertaining to that customer's pay-per-click and/or otherwise paid-for advertising expense(s). No assurance of success, therefore, is ever given now or at any other time to any buyer(s) of this Work, and/or party(ies) that may read and/or apply its instruction(s) within or without, and/or paying customer(s) or otherwise; and the Publisher assumes no legal responsibility(ies) or liability(ies) for the product's application; and as reasonably ones success or failure may be due to factors beyond the control of the Publisher, either directly or indirectly.
If you're still willing to pay for all your Google™ AdWords ads after finding out here and now that others are now getting $10 million's in Google™ advertising FREE, then something must be wrong!
The fact is... ***You DON'T have to pay for another
I've literally set up 100's of Google™ ad campaigns and generated $1 million's in clicks, yet didn't pay for a single click!
=>> And I didn't have to do anything illegal, nor did I do any 'hacking', nor do I know anyone or have a relative working at Google™ to be able to do this!
Instead, I developed a simple, straightforward system that's easy-to-do that you can start using in just minutes of securing my secret for yourself!
But before even thinking of stealing my secret for yourself, here are some FAQs you need to know…
Is your system illegal?
Answer: Absolutely NOT! In fact within just minutes of cracking open my secret for yourself, I honestly believe you'll be kicking yourself in the head for not having thought of this yourself. You'll probably say to yourself "Man! This is so easy and simple, why didn't I think of this first? I could now be selling this secret to the world and making a killing!"
Do I have to be some kind of technical "wizard" to use and apply your system?
Answer: Are you kidding? What would be the point of trying to sell you something it took a Harvard PhD in order to use? The fact is that anyone (including an 11 year old kid!) can easily use and apply my secret. And I'm not being figurative either! I've actually received an email from one lady who told me that due to her poor eyesight she had her 11 year old son read my system and set the whole thing up for her. So if that doesn't tell you how easy and simple it is to do then nothing will convince you!
Does your system require I know someone on the "inside" at Google?
Answer: Nope! Anyone can secure my system in just 2 minutes from right now, start using it within 45 minutes from now, and be getting $1 million's in otherwise paid-for Google™ advertising, but because of my secret never have to pay for another pay-per-click ever again! And you never have to know anyone or have any friends or family working at Google™ (or any other search engine) in order to do this!
Is your system limited to just Google™ only, or can I use it for other search engine pay-per-click advertising?
Answer: My system works for Google™, Yahoo™, MSN™, Overture™, AOL™, AltaVista™, Lycos™, AllTheWeb™, HotBot™, Froogle™, Accoona™, AskJeeves™, DogPile™, GigaBlast™, InfoSpace™, Kanoodle™, Looksmart™, MIVA™ (formerly FindWhat), Netscape Search™, WebCrawler™, and every other search engine ever invented and currently in use! There are literally over 15,000 Web-based search engines available today, and my proven system works on all of those with pay-per-click advertising!
Am I limited to $10,000, $100,000 or even $1 million in FREE pay-per-click advertising, or can I go higher?
Answer: With my amazing secret system there is NO LIMIT to how high you can go! If all you want is just $100,000 in Google™ paid-for advertising but for free, then you can stop there if you choose. But if you're like me, you can go as high as many, many millions of dollars in otherwise paid-for (and thrown away!) advertising on Google™ and practically every other search engine on the entire Web! My system never binds you, only frees you from ever having to pay for another pay-per-click ever again!
Will Google™ and other search engines get mad at me and hunt me down and kill me?
Answer: No! Google™ and all other search engines my system allows you to get pay-per-clicks on but for FREE are not at any loss due to your use of my secret system. They still will make their money and won't be harmed because YOU end up getting from now on even $10 million's in FREE pay-per-click advertising. Once you secure my secret for yourself and find out how I've been doing this for years (and STILL continue to do so even to this very day!) you'll see just what I mean (you may even laugh when you see how amazing, yet simple this truly is!)
I must admit, this sounds too good to be true, so I'm thinking about just passing up your offer. Is this valid reasoning?
Answer: Sure, if you want to forever miss out on the best-kept secret on the entire Internet! Hey, it's no skin off my back if you decide not to secure my system for yourself. I'm already rich so getting just a few bucks more out of you won't either make or break me. BUT! Passing up on my secret when it is in fact the answer you've been looking for to getting many millions in FREE advertising on Google™ and all other search engines may quite possibly be the deciding factor as to whether you really succeed online or not! (So pass up this offer at your own risk – but don't say I didn't WARN YOU FIRST!)
Reading this site has made me wish "Get Google™ Ads FREE!" was my idea. I'll bet you're making a bundle selling your secret to the world. So is there any possible way I too can get in on your success?
Answer: Yes! Inside my secret I reveal how I will actually share my money with you! Look, I've made so many millions online, that I'm now feeling a little bit like a selfish pig. I have fancy cars, planes, several mansions, boats and even young beautiful girls hanging around me all day. So honestly, I figure it wouldn't hurt me in the slightest if I shared my cash fortune with you! (In fact, I may actually just end up making more money by letting YOU in on this!) So inside my secret I show you a way where I'll give you 75% of every sale you make of this amazing secret! So don't put off, but secure it for yourself RIGHT NOW!
I've decided I want to be just very hardheaded and not claim your amazing secret for my own use and profit. What do you have to say about that, 'rich man?'
Answer: Best of luck to you on the Web. Ever since Google™ went public many experts say they've just gotten more and more expensive, thereby weeding out a tremendous segment of their advertisers. So if you honestly want to keep gambling your advertising dollars away, then by all means, be a fool, lose money, and never get rich like me and the many others who've just now discovered my secret and made it their very own too! Again, good luck (cuz you're gunna need it!)

A month ago I reported that Martin Scorsese was spotted at Moto in Brooklyn shooting a new Chanel ad campaign. Word has just surfaced that the ad he was filming was for Chanel's new men's fragrance. The ad features French actor Gaspard Ulliel.
Andrea D'Avack, president of Chanel Fragrance and Beauté, stated that "The ads have been shot in New York, the city which is so inherently part of Martin Scorsese's cinematographic vocabulary." (WWD)
Chanel has a long history of working with acclaimed film directors from Baz Luhrmann (with muse Nicole Kidman) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (with mus Audrey Tautou ), both for Chanel No.5 at different times.
Chanel works with movie directors because they bring depth, emotion and what we call in French 'a supplement of soul,' or an added dimension," said D'Avack, pointing to films such as "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," and "Goodfellas" as examples of Scorsese's vision. "In the case of Martin Scorsese, we knew we would definitely have a man's world full of complexity that is also adrenaline-driven, and of course, amazing images. (WWD)
This is the first men's ad of its kind that I will see and I'm looking forward to it! I love Martin Scorsese and I think he's a wonderful choice to film a men's fragrance ad. He'll be able to capture the essence of "man" without coming off as to macho – can't wait to see!

Public Hearings – Educative but No Blame Applied
The public hearings in which victims testify to the human rights abuses which were carried out during the "leaden years" in Morocco have evoked great interest in the Arab and international media. But the interest in these hearings, which started in December 2004 and are being organised by the Commission for Justice and Reconciliation, is only the tip of an iceberg.
The Commission was called into existence by King Mohammad VI on January 7, 2004, and it has attracted great attention.The Truth Commission, which is regarded as an alternative legal body, has been trying to get hold of documentation, either from within Morocco or from elsewhere, to determine the nature, duration and extent of the human rights abuses which were committed between 1956, when the country gained its independence, and 1999. It's also examining the files of 22,272 people who have complained of human rights abuses such as arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, abduction and "disappearance."
The way to reconciliation
The tasks of the Commission include hearing personal testimony from the victims and undertaking appropriate research in official archives in order to get closer to the truth. It also arranges for damages for material harm, emotional distress and non-material effects of maltreatment to compensate for the suffering of the victims or their family.
As well as dealing with compensation for those who were victims of arbitrary imprisonment, abductions and similar illegal actions, the Commission also ensures the psychological and physical rehabilitation of the victims and helps them to deal with the administrative, professional and legal problems which arise when victims of abduction re-emerge or prisoners are released.
The requirement of this work have led the Truth Commission to involve a hundred experts in addition to their own staff, in order to support the preparation for the public hearings. The hearings began on December 21 and 22, 2004, in Rabat, and continued in Al-Rashidiya, Khenifra and Marrakesh. There will also be sessions in Al-Hasima and Al-Ouyoun.
The hearings are carried live on Moroccan radio and television, and victims of all ages, of different political backgrounds, and from different internment camps have already testified. Those testifying are required to accept the Commission's code of conduct, which says that the names of those responsible for human rights abuses may not be made public during the hearing. The Commission is not a legal body, and therefore does not have the power to bring individuals to justice.
The difficulty of drawing a line under the past
The first hearing in Rabat was attended by a large number of official representatives: the prime minister, the speaker of the parliament, the minister of justice, the adviser to the king, the leaders of the political parties, members of the human rights council, journalists from national and international media, as well as activists from civil society and human rights organisations. It showed the willingness of all those involved to examine the past before they can draw a line under it.
This involvement with the past has led many to an awareness of how difficult this chapter of recent Moroccan history is, and how far human dignity was disregarded in these "leaden years". The testimony of the witnesses was for many a painful confrontation with the past.
One witness, Rashid Al-Manouzi, told of his own experience, but also spoke about the consequences for his family and friends. They suffered various forms of repression and exemplary punishment. Their suffering continues to this day, they still do not know what happened to his brother Hussein Al-Manouzi, who was abducted in Tunisia in 1972.
Al-Manouzi told how he'd been arrested in 1970 as he was on the way to his high school to take his graduation exams. He was taken to the notorious Maulay al-Sharif prison where he was subjected to physical and psychological torture, including sleep deprivation and sexual abuse. After he was released he was subjected to such harassment that he felt he had to leave his native land. He lived in exile for 25 years.
Saadallan Saleh told how he was arrested after the events of April 16, 1963, together with other members of the "Union of People's Power". He described in detail the physical and psychological torture to which he was subjected – for example, how he was forced to sit on a glass bottle.
Conditions in the women's prisons
Women were treated just like men, and their tormenters were just as cruel. Marie Al-Zouini told how she was arrested at her family home in Marrakesh in June 1977 directly after a student demonstration. Once in prison, the fact that she was a woman was ignored: like other women prisoners, she was forced to use a man's name. Al-Zouini became "Abdel Monem".
In her testimony she said she was forced to suffer many kinds of psychological torture. She and her comrades, who were then between 18 and 22 years old, were repeatedly humiliated. Their food was deliberately contaminated with insects and their cells were left uncleaned, even during their menstrual periods.
Writing Moroccan history anew
These are just some of the examples of the deeply moving testimonies given by witnesses during the hearings, which were carried live on Moroccan television. Mark Freeman of the International Centre for Transitional Justice describes these hearings as the most impressive of their kind in the world.
These brave and audacious hearings mark a development in recent Moroccan history which, unlike in other countries, has not led to a replacement of the old system or even to political change. As it has from the start, the process continues to take place within the existing political system.
Moroccan experts see the significance of these hearings and the other activities of the Truth Commission mainly in the creation of an awareness of the urgent need to rewrite Moroccan history, after decades in which the official version has been dominant and no other versions have been allowed to exist.
The hearings, they believe, also have educational value, since they have an influence on public opinion, on the views of decision makers in the government, on future generations, and thus on the political culture of the country.
Criticism from human rights organisations
But there are some weak points in this process which have been criticised by many rights groups. The Moroccan "Symposium for Truth and Justice" disapproves of the fact that the victims are invited as guests of the hearings, but they are not allowed to name those responsible for their suffering.
The Symposium also wants the television transmissions of the hearings to be at a time when they will reach a wider public. Currently the hearings are shown at six in the evening.The Symposium also doubts that the Truth Commission can really reach its objectives as long as those responsible for the serious human rights abuses of the past still hold important positions of authority in the country.
This is an aspect which is also criticised by the Moroccan Human Rights Organisation. The hearings are not really able to uncover the truth and bring about reconciliation as long as the victims are not allowed to name their tormentors. The Organisation has decided to mount public hearings under the title "Unrestricted Testimony for the Truth."
The first hearings took place on February 12 in the Bahnini Hall in Rabat. A list was published with 21 names of people who had been guilty of torture during the "leaden years." Among the most prominent are General Oufkir and the former interior minister, Idriss Al-Basri. Observers believe that these hearings will not compete with those of the Truth Commission; they will rather support and expand on them, since they concentrate on an examination of the documentary evidence and the testimony of witnesses.
That way they can close the gaps in the work of the Commission, whose work is restricted to the period before 1999. The Human Rights Organisation is mainly interested in uncovering human rights abuses in the period after 1999, and to find out who was responsible.
Moving the process into the courts
It's the task of the justice system to make judicial decisions about individual cases. Aiman Tahani, chairman of the leftwing organisation "Forwards", has called on the judicial authorities in Casablanca to open a trial to uncover the circumstances of his father's death. Amin Tahani died in the mid-1980s as a result of the torture he received in the police post of Maulay Al-Sharif prison.
Khadija Al-Rouissi, sister of the abducted Abdulhaq al-Rouissi and member of the "Coordinating Committee for the Relatives of Victims with an Uncertain Fate," thinks that this step is being taken too soon. It will take several months to examine and evaluate the court files, and experts and judges will have to be involved. Trials are expensive and have to be financed.
"Of course people have the right to ask for their files to be handed over to the court," says Al-Rouissi. "But the files have to be properly examined and evaluated first." That's why she's not happy that the Moroccan courts, which are known not to be independent, should get the hurriedly prepared files of the victim Amin Tahani.
Al-Rouissi, who is close to the Truth Commission, also criticises the fact that the Moroccan Human Rights Organisation insists on speaking about the responsibility of individuals. "Naming names is important," she says, "but it's got to happen in the appropriate framework if it's going to work."
"We note," she adds, "that the civil society organisations start isolated initiatives which are not integrated with what's going on around them. It's necessary to orientate oneself towards what has happened already in many other parts of the world. In Chile, for example, the names of those responsible were not make public, but it still led to the arrest of Pinochet."
The work of the Truth Commission includes the drawing up of a final report. This official document will describe the results of the Commission's research and make recommendations as to how human rights abuses can be avoided. The report will thus be a valuable source of information for other initiatives.
Idriss Benzikri, chairman of the Truth Commission, explains that they are unable to call individuals to account for their actions, since this is the job of the state. "But," he says, "if our research shows that parties, or political or civic organisations were responsible for excesses during the "leaden years", then we would present these conclusions in our final report."
The report should be ready by April 2005. The Truth Commission and the many workshops which have been dealing with the same issue have strongly influenced public opinion in Morocco. And that's resulted in a feeling that there's a need for more dynamism in the national justice system.
There's currently much speculation about a forthcoming royal decree. It's expected that it will allow the Truth Commission to continue its work, which has already started the process of cleaning out the swamp which is the Moroccan justice system.

Embed the Raidmap
Cato Fellow Radley Balko highlighted the trend toward heavy-handed police practices in Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America. Radley continues to chronicle police abuses at The Agitator and Reason. Recent examples of police excesses include the unnecessary death of seven-year old Aiyana Jones in Detroit and this raid on an innocent elderly couple in Chicago (immigrants who fled the Soviet Union because of oppression).
One of the fruits of Radley's research was the Raidmap, a Google map application that allows you to see the scope of this epidemic of "isolated incidents." You can also sort botched raids by category: death of an innocent, raid on an innocent suspect, death or injury of an officer, death of a nonviolent offender, unnecessary raids on doctors and sick people, and other examples of paramilitary police excess.

Within the rich history of film there have been any number of corrupt cops, and within this group is a sub-species: the pill-popping, trigger happy loose cannon operating under a code of morality hopelessly detached from reality. Think Denzel Washington in "Training Day," Harvey Keitel in "Bad Lieutenant," or Gary Oldman in "The Professional." Now comes Woody Harrelson, as Dave "Date Rape" Brown, the most ruthless member of the LAPD's most notorious division.
Directed by Oren Moverman ("The Messenger"), who co-wrote the film with neo-noir master James Ellroy, "Rampart" follows Brown as he's fast approaching his breaking point. A Vietnam vet with some 20 years on the LAPD, he's already got a questionable shooting on his record, two failed marriages, a daughter that's scared of him and another who hates him, a serious substance abuse problem and a libido with no "off" switch.
Harrelson shook off his "Cheers" good guy rep playing a drug-fueled murderer in "Natural Born Killers," and he does it again here, but without the glee. Harrelson's Brown is a one-man army, the only guy on the force who--in his own hopelessly compromised opinion--understands the stakes and possesses the morality clarity needed to win that war. He's a chain-smoking panther whose diet consists mostly of gin-soaked olives, ready—nay, eager—to drop the hammer on the bad guys, and Harrelson plays the part magnificently.
Moverman adds an extra layer of confusion to Brown by constantly showing him through windows, in reflections, across rooms, from behind—we can never quite get a good look at him, and his world is littered with noise, the chatter of fellow diners in a restaurant, the pop of guns, roar of engines. Brown's psyche is under such constant assault from the countless things we all manage to filter out.
It's too bad that Moverman and Ellroy constructed such an unbelievable family situation for Brown, one finds him with two ex-wives who are sisters and next-door neighbors, and raising together the daughters they had with Brown. Maybe this is happening somewhere in the City of Angels, but its implausibility is a distraction, and Brown's story could've been told without it.
"Rampart" is a gripping character study of a man whose life of service to his country and community has left him drained and defenseless, left with only an insatiable hunger for sex, drugs and violence--anything that can make him feel--and a hopelessly skewed sense of justice.

Caribbean Series returns to Venezuela in 2014
HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- Next up, Venezuela.
For 2014, as part of its rotation through the four nations involved, the Caribbean Series returns to Margarita, a large island on the northeast coast of Venezuela and home to Estadio Guatamare. The Caribbean Series debuted at the ballpark in 2010, with the Dominican Republic's Leones del Escogido being crowned champions.
Since its inaugural year in 1949, the Caribbean Series has been held in Venezuela 14 times, and only twice -- in 1970 with Magallanes, and in 2006 with Caracas -- has it won the title as the host country.
"With the experience we had in 2010, we're sure we can put together a quality event that can surpass anything done in Venezuela in recent years," Venezuelan Professional Baseball League president Jose Grasso said in Spanish on Thursday. "The eight-team [Venezuelan] League, especially the local Bravos de Margarita, will work very hard to organize the event."
The Caribbean Series, taking place at the new Estadio Sonora in North Mexico this year, will rotate to Puerto Rico in 2015 and the Dominican Republic in '16.
