We have created a batch of these seats which are NOT from Lincoln Financial Field, but are exactly like the teal floor-mounted seats at the Philadelphia Eagles Lincoln Financial Field. History of these seats is that the legs are from Auburn University Jordan Hare stadium and we have powder coated them Eagles teal color. The seat bottoms are actually new surplus from an order of spare parts that were meant for Lincoln Financial Field but were not needed. The seat backs were made new by the seat factory to match the seats. The Eagles logo stadium seat number plates are authentic. Add $125 for each seat attached but you have to call to order pairs or longer rows. Here’s to the Birds!
Dark teal seat and backs. The seat bottoms are left overs from Lincoln Financial Field and the seat backs were made new to match the seat backs.
Freshly powder coated Eagles color floor-mount metal legs, originally orange color from Jordan Hare Stadium.
Singles, doubles, triples, quads, and many other seat configurations are available.
Eagles logo stadium seat number plates.
Singles ship assembled. Free pick up from our warehouse in Vineland, NJ is also available.

Melanie Harrington is both the founder and the face of Dahlia May Flower Farm. A flower devotee from a young age, she grew up on the farm she now cultivates. Years of studies in floral design and horticulture paired with a wealth of experience in both greenhouses and flower shops have led Melanie back home to a life as farmer-florist, a term used to describe those skilled at both flower farming and floral design. Her love of travel has taken her across Europe. Inspiration gleaned from these travels has brought a European flower market esthetic to her distinctive displays. Always looking to expand her skills, Melanie has most recently studied under Erin Benzakein of Floret Flowers, one of North America's leaders in flower farming.
Melanie is very familiar with long hours and dirty hands – happily so! -- as she seeds and weeds, waters and harvests her abundant crops of chemical-free flowers. She also designs and delivers her bouquets and arrangements, and is the face you will see in her booth at the local farmers' market. She is known for her lush garden and her inspired design work, and delights in providing flowers for weddings, parties, and other events. She subscribes to the thought that flowers are food for the soul, and finds real joy in sharing her passion with local flower-loving customers.
Just living is not enough.... One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

110 recent reviews on Amazon.com were negative. They appear to be suspended. Data updated on April 15, 2019 .
sdsd&oo no longer has any products listed for sale, based on this we assume that Amazon.com has taken action and very likely suspended them. Reading most up to date reviews will have more details about customer frustrations.
Told me to contact amazon, I’m not satisfied with the customer service. Will never buy this product or any product manufactured by this company again!!

Most people do not “grow out” of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). For many, their ADHD traits have led to difficulties in school, relationships, and work. But for our hunter-gatherer ancestors these characteristics were necessary for survival. Hunters must be easily distractible, constantly scanning their environment, and unafraid of taking risks. When humanity experienced the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago, a vastly different type of personality—the methodical “Farmer”—became dominant. Most of our modern world is tailored to this Farmer personality, from 9-to-5 jobs to the structure of public schools, leaving ADHD Hunters feeling like unsuccessful outcasts. However, the Hunter skill set offers many opportunities for success in today’s Farmer society—if you learn how to embrace your ADHD traits instead of fighting against them.
In this step-by-step guide, Thom Hartmann explains the positive side of Hunter behavior. Drawing on solid scientific and psychological principles, he provides easy-to-follow organizational strategies, tips to maintain focus and create a distraction-free workspace, and tools to set goals, build a business plan, and discover the right business project to keep you motivated.
Hartmann also includes tips on navigating family relationships and parenting—for most Hunter parents are also raising Hunter children.
The vast majority of ADHD adults I’ve interviewed or talked with over the years have expressed the desire to own their own business, to become an entrepreneur. This is consistent with the Hunter characteristics of resisting authority and structure, independence, and a high level of creativity.
But not everybody’s cut out for, or even wants, to have their own business. Some Hunters prefer the relative security of working in and for an existing enterprise, or must “keep a job” because of specific life situations. Nonetheless, even in the corporate world, there are many entrepreneurial opportunities.
Many companies have the need for this sort of entrepreneurial vision, and it’s even become a business fad to “reinvent the corporation” so everybody in the company feels like an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, many of the people promoting this idea miss the fact that most people don’t want to be entrepreneurs. They’re perfectly content to work a nine-to-five job and leave the risk to others.
But management that understands the Hunter mind-set--and can identify competent Hunters within a company and give them entrepreneurial opportunities--will succeed in improving productivity.
There is a catch, however, that hooks back to the old cliché about always giving authority to match responsibility. Entrepreneurs, even within a larger corporate context, must run their own show. And those companies that have failed in “entrepreneurializing” their employees have done so because they’ve retained the top-down power structure while only giving lip-service to entrepreneurship within the organization.
The two other most common ways for Hunters to be successful in a corporate structure are to take on jobs in high-stimulation or high-creativity occupations.
Sales is probably the most common field in the corporate world where we find a high percentage of Hunters. They’re drawn to sales: there’s always something new, with ample challenge and risk. Sales requires intrinsic motivation, and a lot of getting out and moving around. To a large extent salespeople can control their own time, and--it’s a hunt!
The place where ADHD salespeople often fall down, however, is in the follow-through. Numerous excellent books have been written about how to sell. The technologies of prospecting, presenting the product or service, closing the sale, and follow-through are well-known to most people in sales.
But it’s that follow-through after the sale is made, from the filling out of forms to the building of long-term relationships, where most salespeople find their greatest challenge. It’s just not in the nature of the Hunter to skin the bear. That’s the job for the Farmer-types who stay back in the village and attend to the details of chopping wood, carrying water, and preparing the meals.
Most sales books don’t start out with an understanding of the intrinsic nature of Hunters, they simply offer advice about the importance of follow-through. Knowing, however, that this is actually painful work for Hunters, here’s a solution: team up with a Farmer.
Many companies now are finding that a Hunter-Farmer team is the most effective way to sell products or services. The Hunter is responsible for making the calls, doing the presentations, and making the sale. The Farmer organizes the lists of people to cold-call, writes the follow-up letters, and sets up subsequent appointments, and then forges the longterm relationship with the customer when they finally buy. The Farmer is responsible for keeping the Hunter on-task, forcing a daily meeting and evaluating things on a regular basis. The Hunter is responsible for keeping things rolling, maintaining the enthusiasm of the Farmer, getting things started in the company and then handing them off to others, and getting the customers or prospects excited.
This sort of team works well when both people understand their respective jobs, and when their personalities are carefully chosen and compatible. Two Hunters together will be a frenzied disaster; two Farmers together will make few sales. The job descriptions could be called Sales and Sales Support, although a whole range of other descriptions may be appropriate, depending on the industry or profession you’ve chosen.
Sales management is problematic. Over the years, I’ve hired dozens of salespeople. Most all were Hunters, ideally suited to the hunt of sales, but poorly suited to the Farmer job of management. Yet many, perhaps most, have told me at one time or another that their goal was to end up in sales management.
The problem, of course, is that management of sales is not sales itself. So often in sales-driven companies, however, we see the old Peter Principle at work, where salespeople are promoted to the level of their own incompetence: sales management. Then, when they fail at sales management because the skills necessary to be a good manager aren’t built into their personality, they crash and burn, feeling wretched, becoming intolerable, or even losing their jobs.
Management requires attention to detail, patience, never-ending persistence, and a tolerance for boring and repetitive tasks such as planning and budgeting that would drive a Hunter to drink. It’s unfortunate that in our business culture the most common way to reach higher income and status levels is to move “up” into management. The Army has recognized that some people are very good at doing a particular job, but not necessarily suited for, or interested in, management. To provide these people with an upward career path, they’ve developed the rank of “warrant officer,” which usually doesn’t involve any sort of command or administration, but still lets people move up in rank and pay. Successful companies recognize this and provide advancement paths that people can brag to their relatives about, without taking the person out of the field where he or she performs so well. These include opportunities for increases in pay as well as new job titles that may have words like “manager,” “executive,” or “supervisor” in them but don’t require the person to manage other people or handle details outside of their area.

Mario Gomez gained a small measure of revenge for Bayern Munich as his late winner earned the German side a valuable Champions League win against Inter Milan.
Gomez netted from close range after Julio Cesar failed to hold Arjen Robben's shot late on, giving Bayern a first-leg advantage against the side who beat them in last season's final.
Esteban Cambiasso missed the best chances for Inter, who also saw striker Samuel Eto'o draw a blank in front of goal as Bayern goalkeeper Thomas Kraft pulled off several saves.
Andrea Ranocchia, on his Champions League debut, missed the first chance as he volleyed wide when well placed from Wesley Sneijder's free-kick.
It took more than 10 minutes for Bayern to get into the game, but as Thomas Muller forced his way into the area he was crowded off the ball. Julio Cesar was lucky when he got down late to a left-footed shot from 30 yards out by Luiz Gustavo, which went just wide of the goalkeeper's right-hand post.
Eto'o then went down under a challenge from Anatoliy Tymoschuk inside the area, but Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai was not interested in any penalty claims. Gustavo then saw another shot from distance deflected wide for a corner as Bayern came more into the game.
But the visitors had an escape when Eto'o worked the ball into the right side of the area and threaded it through the defence for an unmarked Cambiasso, but his shot from close range was straight at Kraft who saved with his legs.
Robben then crossed the ball in but Franck Ribery's header hit the top of the bar. Eto'o caused Kraft an anxious moment when he charged down a pass across the Bayern defence but the goalkeeper was able to back track and gather the ball on his line.
Sneijder released Dejan Stankovic with a clever floated pass but the ball struck his leg as he tried to take control and the Bayern defence were able to clear. Kraft got down well to his left to keep out a low shot from Eto'o and Sneijder wasted a chance just before half-time as he shot well wide.
Maicon should have done better when a pass from Stankovic played him in on the right side of the area but he also missed the target. Muller wasted a fine chance early in the second half when he got on the end of Robben's flighted ball across the Inter box but glanced his header across goal.
Robben struck the outside of the post with a rising shot after he had exchanged passes with Ribery and run wide of the Inter defence to give himself an opening.
Cambiasso then missed the best chance so far when he pounced on the rebound after Kraft had beaten away Eto'o's shot, but the midfielder fired the ball high over the bar.
Bayern went close just before the hour when Robben cut in from the right but his shot was also over the top. Bayern had a lucky escape near the end when Thiago Motta was left unmarked at a corner from Sneijder but he headed straight at Kraft.
Eto'o was also denied when his shot from the edge of the area through a crowd of players was deflected wide for a corner.
And Inter paid for those wasted chances when Bayern shocked the home crowd with a late winner. Julio Cesar could not hold Robben's shot and Gomez was first to the loose ball to net the rebound.

Earlier this year, two gentlemen from Martino Auto Concepts in Glen Cove stripped down a bright yellow 2005 Ferrari F430, covering all but the body in plastic and tape.
Seconds later, John Matos—known better by his artistic persona, “Crash”—circled the sports car while spraying cans of neon pink and green paint, covering his nose and mouth with an industrial gas mask.
In an instant, the roughly $200,000 vehicle suddenly became much more valuable. And it may even be driven off the lot at this year’s Art Southampton—opening on Thursday, July 24, behind the Southampton Elks Lodge—where it will be on display, courtesy Dorian Grey Gallery, with a $500,000 price tag attached.
The Ferrari will help mark the entrance to the fair’s 100,000-square-foot tent, where more than 80 international art galleries and 600 artists will be on display during the East End’s youngest art venture yet—coming in on the heels of both ArtHamptons and Art Market Hamptons, which exhibited earlier this month in Bridgehampton.
Entering its third year, Art Southampton is the brainchild of Nick Korniloff, Mike Tansey and Brian Tyler—who own and operate eight international fairs, including 25-year-old Art Miami. Several years ago, the men found themselves approached by local art collectors on the East End.
Art Southampton will feature several interactive programs, including Art Talks with collector Peggy Hollander, a book signing with photographer Eric Holubow—who recently published a collection of photographs called “Abandoned: America’s Vanishing Landscape”—and even a family program called Art Fairy, as well as hundreds of artists striving to make their mark on the East End.
Painter Suzanne LaFleur, who presented at ArtHamptons two weeks ago, will show in a pair of galleries at Art Southampton: Lawrence Fine Art in East Hampton, and Manhattan-based Hollis Taggart Galleries. As a child, the artist would often pass the Elks Lodge on the way to her native Southampton Village, where she never explored without crayons in hand.
Now living in Harlem, Ms. LaFleur woke up in the middle of the night not long ago, shaken by an image she had to put on canvas. She walked from her apartment to her studio and poured her every emotion into her paintbrush. Covered in paint, three days later, she emerged with “Passion Number 1,” purchased by Amagansett homeowners Miles Wittenstein and Barbara Stoller, who just happened to walk by Ms. LaFleur, seated on a bench outside Golden Pear in Southampton, last week during an interview.
After two decades of splitting her time between Manhattan and abroad, Ms. LaFleur has come home this summer, she said, by way of ArtHamptons and Art Southampton.
Art Southampton will run from Thursday, July 24, through Monday, July 28, on the fairgrounds behind the Southampton Elks Lodge. An opening night preview will kick off the art fair, starting at 6 p.m. for platinum ticket-holders and 7:30 p.m. for VIP ticket-holders. Hours are noon to 8 p.m. on Friday, noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Monday. Apply for VIP status online. A one-day fair pass is $25, $15 for seniors and students age 12 to 18, and free for children under age 12 with an adult. A multi-day pass is $40. For more information, visit art-southampton.com.

These cookies are very popular during Easter and Christmas time in Germany. Kids love to make them and of course they like to eat them.
Mix all the ingredients for the dough in a big bowl and form dough with your hands. Make sure that butter/margarine is melted before working with it. It’s best to roll the dough with a rolling pin and use a little flour while working with the dough so it won’t stick to the table or your hands. Use cookie cutters to cut out different shapes and place them on a baking tray (cover baking tray with parchment paper first).
Brush cookies with a little egg using a pastry brush and drizzle chocolate, candy or coconut sprinkles on top before baking. Then bake for 10-12 min in per-heated oven (200 C/400 F). Let cookies cool on a cooling tray or plate.

2006 Medical Weblog Awards: Polls Are Open!
Welcome to the voting phase of the 2006 Medical Weblog Awards!
This year, because of so many candidates, we had to break two categories (Best Medical and Best New) into two polls each. In each poll, you can vote for a weblog.
Together with you, a panel of judges will be contributing to the cumulative score for each blog. Medgadget editorial staff is joined by Sumer from Sumer’s Radiology Site, Josh from Kidney Notes, Enoch from Tech Medicine, Orac from Respectful Insolence, Steven from docinthemachine, Bard from A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure, Amy from Diabetes Mine and Allen from GruntDoc. Judges will not be voting in their own category. Moreover, judges will submit their results to Medgadget without revealing their scores to other members of the panel, so there is no bias for judges to vote for each other.
Winners in other categories will be awarded by Medgadget with the latest edition of The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy.
Please note that the winners will be announced on Friday, January 19, 2007. Polls will close at midnight on Sunday, January 14, 2007 (PST).
Additional information about the 2006 Medical Weblog Awards is available here.
Good luck to all and may the voting be fair!

Subvein is a free multiplayer game featuring interesting concepts where you fight against your enemies: you can either be a rebel or a scientist. The game features over 20 weapons, and allows you to buy vehicles with the in-game virtual money. This is a 3D game, and even if you see your character and the enemies with an angled down camera, which is uncommon for 3D games, the gameplay is quite good and brings lots of fun in. The game is improved with regular updates that fix bugs and add new graphical effects to have a more realistic gameplay. You can get new skills and mutations while you progress in the game and they make you more powerful: a mutation can be compared to a level, when you kill someone, you earn a number of experience points according to his mutation level. When you have enough experience points, your character will mutate, becoming more powerful and giving you a skill point. Skill points allow you to unlock a skill of your choice: select the one you like the most and be ready to kill more enemies. The game is quite lightweight, and if you want to play it anywhere, you can download the portable version that can run on any USB stick. Please, however, notice that the game is not very popular, there are not a great number of players online.
To conclude, Subvein is a great and free game, featuring a great number of skills and mutation levels, you'll probably have fun if there are enough connected players.

Samael and Drake trick Lily into drinking a potion that takes her on a Belladonna and Hemlock dream to the Underworld where Jade and Killian are being held hostage. Lucian and Hecaté enter the story and heat up the pages with their tricks, ruses, plots, and wicked plans that all go awry at the Banquet meant to crown Lucian the One Victor of the Rebellion.
Marduk delivers a rousing speech to the Incubi that shakes the Elders to their core when they realize they are losing control of their plan. They summon Marduk into their chambers to give him a special commission to advise Declan on his heroic journey to the Underworld. Marduk disappears into a shadow existence from his own Belladonna and Hemlock dream as Declan, Caraye, Mia, and Finn get underway in the Onyx River to rescue the young lovers. Along the way, Declan engages with Marduk in dreams and shadows where Marduk serves as a sounding board for Declan’s confused feelings for Caraye when he knows Issa will be his when he returns to Gael. Marduk, being the Romantic Devil he is, weaves his love spell over Declan and Caraye as they test the steamy waters of a heady romance neither of them can control, thanks to Marduk’s machinations. Caraye, however, becomes gravely ill along the way to Marbh through the Onyx River, where they encounter demonic spirits and incorrigible dead at the Energy Vortex in Dead Man’s Bay. Declan also encounters a dark spirit from his past that rattles his resolve in this commission, but the encounter brings Declan and Caraye closer than ever. Declan and Finn also develop a deep bond that puzzles them both, but they find worthy partners in each other while they are forced to work together if they want to survive this perilous journey to the Underworld.
Jade and Killian are being held in Lucian’s Amethyst Fortress, where Salem and Malachi are competing for Lucian’s rewards of a seat on his Council and a Golden Palace. Salem, however, is fighting for more than a Palace. He is fighting for his freedom as well as the freedom of his wife and unborn son. Lucian is livid that Malachi brought the wrong Cambion into his Colony and sends Malachi away to his safe house until the fallout of his massive mistake settles. Salem and Hecaté take control of Jade and Killian, and Queen Hecaté plans a Banquet to introduce Lucian to his young hostages before he travels to the Citadel of the Elders to tell them that he has legal custody of their Chosen One. Hecaté has different plans for her wayward husband and the hostages as she takes control of the Banquet, and invites the entire body of Lesser Gods to the Amethyst Fortress to thwart Lucian’s plans to win the Crown of Críoch in an underhanded powerplay that she knows will set them further back in their fight to win autonomy for the Lower Colonies. Declan, Finn, and the Army of Gael arrive in Marbh, just in time for the Banquet of the Lesser Gods, to set Jade and Killian free, and to save Caraye’s life that hangs by a tenuous thread after her encounter with the dark spirits at the Vortex. Upon return to Gael with his ragtag band of misfits, Declan receives a hero’s welcome, and is eagerly awaiting his reward from the Elders. Amon is dealt another severe blow when the last piece of his puzzle in finding Issa is ruthlessly thrown in his face by Lucian.
Marduk and Lilith are both shocked and severely shaken by the guests Declan returns to the Upper Colonies with, in more ways than one. Malachi, upon hearing of Declan’s return to Gael, sneaks into the Crystal Palace to claim his own reward.

Pest control is a reality. Nearly every home in America has or is experiencing some type of problem with insects or rodents. Dealing with these animals and bugs is something that most people will experience. When they do, they should utilize the best pest control methods to get the job done. Let’s take a look at the best pest control methods for getting rid of bugs and rodents.
Cleanliness and order is the number one method that people can use in the war against pets and rodents. When a home is kept clean and in order it will naturally be easier to figure out what is going on in term of pest control. When an environment is clean it will then be easier to implement other effective remedies for pest control.
Natural remedies should be used next in the fight against pests and rodents. This simply means that natural non-lethal substances should be utilized within a home’s environment. Natural substances such as plant-based oils or powdered materials that are derived from the earth can then be utilized to help in the fight against these creatures.
Sometimes natural remedies are not enough to get rid of unwanted house guests. Sometimes a person will have to use insecticides. If insecticides are used within a home’s environment, a professional exterminator should be utilized to administer treatment. Traps and other items can be employed for the purpose of eliminating bugs and rodents. They too are effective for that purpose. Homes that consistently employ these methods will ensure that rodents and bugs no longer have a place to live and thrive.
Give them a call so that you can live pest free, and enjoy having friends and family over again.

Susanna Wadeson, head of non-fiction, has acquired London Clay by published poet Tom Chivers (Dark Island, How to Build a City). Wadeson secured UK & Commonwealth rights from Sophie Scard at United Agents after a five figure pre-empt.
Chivers said: "I’m bowled over by the response to London Clay and incredibly excited to be working with Susanna and her team at Transworld. Writing this book has transformed the way I see the city, the natural world and our relationship to the past, and I hope it will inspire others too."

A person might imagine that there's nothing odd with reference to Mc Dowell, Virginia, but there are phantoms in this city, and they come into view during the night. Statues turn around, cries coming out of the dark. Several local residents allege these tales are not true, but with so many ghosts in Mc Dowell you have a quite splendid chance of spotting one if you spend a night around here.

The nemesis of writers is POV (Point of View). Staying in one character’s head and experience until there is a new chapter or set break within a chapter, is a difficult skill to master. But once you have a firm grasp on strict POV, there is more to do. Deep POV. Yes, you can still pull your reader deeper into your characters’ skin.
Do you feel the difference? You can make the hairs rise on your readers’ arms, drawing them into your story and never let them go.
Let’s try another. “She felt a tear slip down her cheek.” Nothing wrong with that sentence, it denotes emotion—strong feelings, but could we do better?
Better? Did you feel the slow slipping of the tear as though it were on your own face? This is what we want to do for our readers. Draw them into our character’s skin.
Take the time to learn POV—then make the extra effort to dig deeper. Your readers won’t be able to put your book down. And isn’t that what every author wants?
For more on Deep POV, read the fabulous book, Rivet Your Readers with Deep Point of View by Jill Elizabeth Nelson.

Not all bombs that the Allies dropped on Linz and other cities detonated on impact. These unexploded bombs represented a great danger to the clearing-up operations. Defusing them was the responsibility of the Luftwaffe demolition squads who used prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates as assistants. Even before the air raids, the City of Linz signed an agreement with Mauthausen concentration camp for up to 1000 prisoners to be used for clearing-up operations after air raids.
In 1942 Franz Tschaff, who was responsible for the deployment of workers in the Department of Works, worked out a plan for clearing up after air raids. The plan envisaged that civilian workers, forced labourers and concentration camp inmates from camps in and around Linz would collect at five points in the city. The prisoners came from Mauthausen and were housed in the subcamp Linz III.
The prisoners called these work parties “kamikaze squads”. There is no exact list of those prisoners who were killed during this work. An undated document in the archive of the Mauthausen Memorial, for example, mentions 7 dead and 4 injured prisoners alone from a group of 48 prisoners deployed in “bomb squads”.

No budget for PR? Do it yourself with the help of internet technology!
Not so long ago, small businesses and non-profit organizations across the board were faced with a tough question: do we need a website?
We know the answer to that as the majority of small businesses and non-profits offer effective sites that not only provide information but can sell products, accept online donations, and raise awareness.
The new question facing them now is: Do we need to hire a PR agency?
Unfortunately, though many small businesses and organizations would like to retain a PR firm, the cost just doesn’t fit into the budget. Well, that doesn’t have to be the case.
Small businesses and non-profits can manage their own media relations with the help of a few tools of the trade.
Online Press Kits: Everything a business or organization’s press kit contains can be published and distributed on the Internet with online press kits. Now, an online press kit is not a website. Don’t be confused by the term “online.” Though an online press kit can be displayed online and present information like a website, it is really a virtual folder or briefcase that allows an organization to upload and store press materials on the Internet.
Once in an online press kit folder, these documents and images can be distributed as links – not attachments to e-mails. Most e-mails with attachments never reach their designated recipient in the media due to firewalls and anti-virus protection services. With an online press kit, documents are added as links within the message.
An online press kit can be linked directly to a website so that when the media visits in search of news and background information, they’ll know exactly where to go. Changes and edits can be made instantly, preventing outdated or incorrect information from being distributed. Plus, some online press kit services are so simple to use and manage; an organization won’t need to hire an “IT guy,” another budget-friendly feature.
Online press kit services vary greatly in terms of price and features. Take some time to research your options and identify your needs before committing to one service over another. Some services include features you probably will never use (but pay for), while others may not provide enough services, such as training or support.
Web-based Media Lead Services – One of the greatest benefits of the Internet is the ability to rapidly obtain information. What used to require a hard copy media guide or CD is now available from a number of providers online. An organization can reach virtually hundreds of thousands of media contacts with one click by listing spokespeople as experts, offering timely quotes on current events, or responding to the hundreds of media leads that come in daily from journalists on deadline. There are many providers out there that vary in cost and quality. It is worth the time and effort to do some research on which service is best for your budget and your needs. Some services are even free. Services that are used by the most media professionals will likely cost more than ones with lower membership.
Web-based Media Databases – Your business or organization has hot news and you want to let every daily newspaper in the country know about it. First, you must visit each paper’s website individually, record their contact information, compile a list and then blast that news out there. However, by the time you did that, your news would be at least a month old. Ouch.
Media databases to the rescue. There are many services available online that provide up-to-date media lists from every medium and market you can imagine. Most require a membership or subscription fee, but it is well worth the money if the alternative is to compile a list manually. Services of this type include BurrellesLuce Media Contacts program (www.BurrellesLuce.com), Bacon’s (www.Bacons.com), and Contacts on Tap (www.ContactsOnTap.Com).
Press Release Distribution Services – Got a press release that the world needs to see? You could compile the list as we mentioned above (the hard way), or use a media database – but you could also leave it to the experts and submit your release to a distribution service, or “wire.” There are many services available at various costs.
One service is PR Web (www.PRWeb.com) which not only can run your release for free (limited distribution), but allows you to specify Internet search terms, making the release easily accessible to Web users.
The media savvy and expertise of media relations professionals is worth the money, but when the money just isn’t there, small businesses and non-profit organizations can tap the talent they have within and combine it with technology designed to make communication easier.
If you need some help developing your press documents, take a look at the press kits of other businesses or organizations in your area. There are also many Internet resources available that can provide tips to writing your own press releases and news announcements.
Managing media relations in-house is not impossible and can be a fantastic way to reach the media as a small business or organization grows.
I hope this has helped you with your research into using internet technology and using online media.

This guide covers all the basic information of owning any species of land hermit crab. For more specific information pertaining to each species, please see our individual Species Care Sheets linked directly below. The FAQs and Articles in the Care Sheet subforum have more in-depth coverage about all of the aspects of hermit crab care that are covered here, and links have been provided where applicable.
Much more detail father down and in the other FAQs and guides!
Lifespan: Up to 40 years is possible in captivity though 10 to 20 years is more common. In the wild, 50 to 70 years has been reported.
Size: Young crabs (under 2 years) are 0.5 inches across and can fit on a dime. Full grown adults (25+ years) reach 6 inches and are larger than a softball. Average size (5 to 15 years) is 2 to 3 inches.
Housing: Minimum 10 gallon aquarium for small crabs, with larger tanks required as they grow. Minimum 75 gallon aquarium when fully grown. Wire cages and open topped enclosures do not hold in heat or humidity and should not be used in non-tropical areas.
Climate: 80 to 85 degrees and humidity levels of at least 75%. Purple Pinchers can handle slightly lower temperatures down to 75 degrees.
Substrate: Children's Playsand (silica based) or cocofiber, or a mix of the two, and many crabbers prefer a 5:1 mixture of sand to cocofiber. Must be kept moistened, enough so the substrate keeps it's shape when squeezed but not so much it drips. Substrate must be at least four times deeper than the crab is big, which usually means filling the aquarium halfway.
Water: Dechlorinated water must be used, and using a product that binds heavy metals is recommended. Water bowls should be deep enough for the crab to submerge with a way for them to safely climb back out. Both fresh and salt is required. Saltwater should only be mixed using a product for marine fish.
Diet: Hermit crabs are omnivores and scavangers. Fruit and protein (meat, insects, seafood) should be provided daily. Vegetables and plant matter such as oak or maple leaves are welcome additions. Hermits are affected by pesticides and fertilizers, so care should be taken when sourcing food.
Molting: Crabs molt to grow, which can take weeks or months. They will bury under the surface and not return topside until they are finished. This is why there is a need for such deep substrate! Never disturb a molting crab as digging it up may kill it.
Shells: 3 to 5 shells per crab, and they must be a proper species of shell and slightly larger than what the crab is currently wearing. Please do not offer painted or glazed shells - they are dangerous and potentially toxic to hermits. Natural and polished shells can be found online and in craft stores.
Breeding: Hermits do breed in captivity, but live young are not possible without special equipment and a lot of effort.
Maintenance: Food should be changed daily to prevent mold growth. Water bowls should be changed when dirty or at least every third day. Spot clean as needed to remove waste and uneaten food. Glass can be cleaned with white vinegar as needed. Monitor substrate for signs of dryness and spray with freshwater as needed. Substrate almost never needs to be changed unless it becomes over saturated. If the tank is not over saturated and you feel strongly about changing it, please wait until all molting crabs are finished and on the surface for safety!
I Bought a Crab, Now What?!
There are many myths and inaccurate care sheets and advice out there, so please read on! Hermit crabs come from tropical regions; therefore, they have a few easy, yet essential requirements for their “home away from home” - which we call a crabitat. Once these basic requirements are met, you will find hermit crabs to be a relatively simple yet rewarding pet to care for. This care sheet and other articles on our site will help you to understand what those needs are, and will help you to set up a home for your new hermit crab. Hermit crabs can live for decades with proper care, so giving them the perfect home is important.
While the name implies they like to be alone, that is far from the case! In the wild, hermit crabs travel in colonies that number in the hundreds. Most hermit crabs benefit greatly from having friends—in fact, it’s very important for them to have the company of their own kind. You’ll also be able to watch them interact, and their behavior in the presence of other crabs is closer to what it would normally be in nature. Size does not matter to a hermit crab, so feel free to mix tiny crabs with jumbos. Crab companions should only be other hermit crabs though; do not place them in the same enclosure as other reptiles, amphibians, or mammals. A healthy crab can be seen walking and waving its antennae happily, either on its own or when you pick it up (hold your hand flat so it can’t pinch!). Crabs in natural shells are usually healthier than crabs that were forced into painted or decorated shells. Most crabs dump their painted shell first chance they get.
New crabs can be kept in a separate ISO tank for a few weeks to a month – both to help them graduate to the improved conditions, and to prevent introducing crab mites to your current hermit crabs. Many crabbers choose to add new crabs immediately to their main tank. New crabs should be bathed at least once before upon coming home to make sure they do not have mites. When introducing new crabs to the main tank, give them a dip in tank temperature declorinated fresh water which will make them smell familiar to the other crabs. It can help to prevent any bullying or fights with your existing crabs, and make the introductions go much smoother.
All hermit crabs are wild caught, and not all make the transition from life in the wild to life in captivity. They also take a very long journey from the tropics in less than good conditions to reach the stores where they are sold. Some hermit crabs will start to slow down and may unexpectedly die after being bought. This is known as Post Purchase Syndrome. Any crab that is new is at risk of sudden death until it has completed its first successful molt in captivity.
All land hermit crab species except the giant coconut crab begin with the name Coenobita (C.). They are born in the ocean, but quickly transition to life on land and live on ocean beaches as well as further inland in tropical rainforests near the coast. Do not confuse them with marine hermit crabs, which spend their whole lives in the ocean and only emerge at low tide to forage. The most common species of land crab in captivity are the Purple Pincher (C. Clypeatus), which has a big purple pincher with light-orange to dark-red legs, and the Ecuadorian (C. Compressus) which has smaller claws, gray-green to tan coloring, and big eyes that look like “()”. Ruggies (C. Rugosus), Indos (C. Brevimanus), Violas (C. Violascens) , and Strawberries (C. Perlatus) may be found at some pet stores, but they are a rarity to find for sale. Different species can be mixed together, but you should have at least two of each species so that they have a "species buddy".
Most new owners purchase a hermit crab in a small plastic container usually referred to as a critter keeper. While these cages are good for an isolation tank and temporary lodging, they aren’t large enough for everyday living. By the time the dishes for food and water, the deep substrate they need, and fun decorations are added, there’s no room left for the crab! Aquariums are a way to give your crab more space to live, and also give you more room to decorate. These can be purchased new, but since the aquarium doesn’t have to be watertight you can buy a used tank at a reasonable price instead. Another option is to use large plastic storage containers or very large acrylic animal cages—these are an extremely inexpensive way to give your hermit crabs a large living area.
Remember that the more crabs you have, the more space they need, especially when they start growing! Every crab needs enough room to molt safely and to have their own space to get away from the other crabs if they feel the need. For a medium crab, the minimum necessary size is a 10 gallon glass aquarium. For long-term housing, each crab needs at least 5 gallons of space and even more than that as they grow bigger. Hermit crabs move around and exercise a lot more than you may think since they are most active at night, and they will stay healthier with a larger enclosure. For a baseball-sized crab, a 75 gallon or larger tank is the best possible home. Please keep in mind that hermit crabs can be overcrowded, and that every crab needs to be able to have it's own space to molt safely. Some hermits can grow very quickly, so that tiny crab in a 10 gallon tank could be a very large crab needing a larger tank in a year or two!
Hermit crabs are expert climbers and are stronger than they look, so a lid should always be used. Lids will also hold in the heat and humidity that hermit crabs require. Aquarium hoods and glass lids are best when used in conjunction with heating mats, although any openings should be covered and secured with duct or packing tape. Reptile screen lids are perfect for use with heat lamps, though you may need to cover the areas around the lamp with plastic wrap or aluminium foil to maintain a high humidity level. Lid clips are available for use with screen lids; these clips prevent escapes while still allowing for easy access. Plexi-glass can be used instead of glass, but please keep in mind that it is plastic and can melt or give off toxic fumes if it is allowed to get too hot.
More information: Tank Size, Crab Size & How Many Can You Have?
Hermit crabs breathe using modified gills: not quite fish gills; not quite human lungs. Their gills must remain moist at all times or they will slowly suffocate. It is therefore essential that their crabitat have sufficient humidity. A humidity gauge, which can be purchased with reptile supplies or in the home and garden section of most stores, is one of the most important crab supplies. Ideal humidity is between 70% and 85%, and by contrast most houses are only at 40-50%. Do not allow your crabs to be exposed to humidity levels below 65% for extended periods of time. Levels above 80% are safe for hermits but may encourage mold growth. Never guess on what the humidity is in your crabitat! Making sure the humidity level is ideal is important to your crab’s wellbeing.
Getting the humidity above 70% can be tricky at first. Keeping the humidity high may also be a challenge if you run an A/C in the summer, and when the furnace is on in the winter. Misting with freshwater is the most common way of raising the humidity level, but if it is the only method used it may need to be done a few times per day. The tank and lid should be mostly sealed to keep the humid air from escaping, but make sure to leave some vents for fresh air to enter the tank as hermit crabs do breathe oxygen and low levels may cause health problems. Using large water bowls often helps with humidity, as the heat lamps or UTH will evaporate the water to increase humidity. Using moist reptile moss will also help with keeping the humidity stable, and the crabs will enjoy having a 'moss pit' to hang out in. However, the key to keeping humidity up is a moist substrate, so watch closely and make sure it isn't drying out. Using more cocofiber will also increase the amount of humidity in the tank. For serious crabbers with humidity problems, try a reptile fogger or humidifier - many models come with timers and are very easy to set-up and use to keep your humidity stable!
Since they are from the tropics, Purple Pincher hermit crabs need to be kept between 75 and 85 degrees. Exotic species such as Ecuadorians need higher temperatures of 80 to 85 degrees. If your home is not this warm during the summer or winter, there are options to help! Products made for tropical reptiles are perfect for helping to replicate a hermit crab’s native environment. If the temperature falls below 70 degrees for too long, they begin to go dormant, and may not survive. A thermometer should always be used to monitor temperatures in case of a heating failure.
These are the most popular option for warming crabitats. They are sold for reptiles for use underneath the tank, but in hermit crab enclosures the UTH should only be used on the side or back of the tank. Because of the need of thick substrate in crabitats, UTHs are not effective when used on the bottom and can possibly overheat and become a fire risk. Do not pay attention to the recommended tank size on the packaging - buy the largest sized heat mat that you can fit on the back of your tank as many store-bought UTH run too cool to heat a crabitat. Ultratherm brand UTH must be ordered online, but they are known to run the warmest and are capable of being insulated with styrofoam to boost the heat unlike many other brands. If the UTH runs too warm a plug-in lamp dimmer or thermostat can be used to adjust the temperature. Many crabbers prefer to use a pad that ends above the substrate line so that they do not have to worry about substrate drying out quickly. Also, UTH cannot be bent without damaging them.
Heat lamps are an option that will provide a lot of heat, which is great if your house is kept on the cooler side. There are many types of heat lamps to choose from, and the larger the dome the more heat will be reflected into the enclosure. It can be difficult to find the right wattage of bulb to get the enclosure to the right temperature, so a rheostat (plug-in lamp dimmer) or dimmable clamp lamp can be very beneficial when using heat bulbs, as this will allow you to cool down and adjust a lamp that is running too hot. Small 10 gallon tanks may need to start out with a 25w bulb while large tanks may need more than 100w. Hermit crabs are nocturnal and need to have darkness at night, so special reptile bulbs (moonglow, infrared or ceramic) are the best as they can be kept on all night long. However, do not use blacklights or party lights, as these emit lots of UVA and are quite different from reptile bulbs.
Heat rocks can burn your hermits, and heat cables can be pinched through causing an electrical hazard. Daylight heating bulbs can be used during daylight hours only, but watch to make sure that the crabitat doesn’t cool off too low at night. Florescent and UVB bulbs will give you viewing light during the day but will have very little effect on the temperature. If the room they are in stays warm enough, you may not need to add any supplemental heat.
Hermit crabs grow by molting: during this time they tunnel underground and shed their hard exoskeleton, revealing a very soft new skin that hardens over a period of days. They also bury to destress, or for fun, or if conditions in the crabitat aren't good.
For substrate, a mix of regular silica-based children's playsand from the hardware store with either loose or compressed cocofiber from the pet store works the best. Playsand comes sterilized, washed, and screened, so it is ready for use right from the bag and it costs just a few dollars for enough to fill the entire tank. Cocofiber holds and releases a lot of moisture, so it is a wonderful way to increase the humidity of a tank. Most crabbers will recommend a mix of 5 parts sand to 1 part cocofiber, and you can also add in small amounts of crushed coral or organic worm castings. Fluker’s Farms has recently come out with a hermit crab sand that is made of cocofiber and silica sand—this is the only hermit crab branded sand that is safe.
Substrate must always be kept moist. When wetting substrate, make sure that the water has been treated with dechlorinator to make it safe. Sand should be moistened to the point where it just holds its shape and you could build sand-castles with it. Cocofiber should be kept on the dryer side where it is damp enough to hold its shape but no water drips out when it’s squeezed.
For substrate that stays fresh for a long time and resists mold growth, you can use regular strength salt water when wetting it down the first time. The salt helps the humidity levels stay high, and it will also help to prevent mold from growing. Always use freshwater to rewet the sand, as the salt will stay in the substrate and adding in more can make it become too salty over time.
Hard and chunky substrates like gravel and mulch should never be used with hermit crabs since these substances are hard to dig into and will not hold tunnels or caves. Calcium sands should not be user either as it smells bad when wet, is porous which allows bad bacterial growth, is sticky which can encrust their legs and abdomens, and when it starts to dry out it can harden into a cement like block.
Hermit crabs have a soft, delicate abdomen and in order to keep it protected they wear shells on their backs. These shells are not a physical part of the crab, rather they are borrowed from other shellfish. As the crab grows, it will need to move into bigger and bigger shells. Some crabs just love to change shells for fun, or to find a better fit. Always have a broad selection of different sizes as some hermit crabs like to wear shells that seem too large or too small for them. The more hermit crabs you have, the more shells you should have available. If a crab does not have enough shell choices, he may try to force another crab out of its shell and steal it. Neither you (nor another crab!) should ever try to force a crab out of its shell. New shells should be sterilized in boiling dechlorinated water for five minutes and allowed to cool before being given to your crabs. Individual crabs and some species like Ecuadorians will often be stubborn about changing, so as long as you have provided proper sizes and proper shell species, it is okay if your crab does not change shells - it just means he's happy with what he has!
You should provide at least three to five shells of each size needed by your crabs. The perfect sized shell has a circular or oval shaped opening the size of the crab’s big pincher; however, some crabs enjoy shells that are either too big or too small for them. Crabs cannot fit their bodies into shells that have thin openings. Each species has its own likes when it comes to shell species, so it's a good idea to research what they may enjoy the most before shopping for new shells. While painted shells are very pretty, the paint itself is toxic to the crabs and they should be avoided. Natural shells are very beautiful, and there are many different types of shells that hermits enjoy wearing. There are online shops that sell natural shells, and some craft stores carry them as well.
All water going into the hermit crab tank needs to be dechlorinated—for drinking, misting, cleaning, or wetting substrate. Any fish or reptile dechlorinator that removes chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals will be perfect. Letting water sit for 24 hours or using plain dechlorinators will only remove chlorine, and does not remove the more harmful chloramines and heavy metal ions. Bottled natural spring water is also okay as long as you are sure it is completely natural as many bottled waters are just tap water with a fancy name on the label. There is some concern that distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water may not have all the minerals crabs need, but supplying properly mixed salt water this shouldn’t be a problem.
Hermit crabs require two types of water—fresh water and ocean water. Providing them with both salt and fresh water allows them to regulate their salinity themselves, which is essential for maintaining their shell water and health. Their dishes should be deep enough for them to completely submerge so they can self-bathe whenever they feel the need. Hermit crabs will go swimming if given the chance, but whatever container you use must have a way for the crabs to climb back out as they will drown if trapped underwater for too long.
Hermit crabs live on beaches, and thus require a source of salt-water. Do not use table salt however – it contains only sodium chloride and also has chemicals to keep it from clumping that may harmful. Always use a marine salt mix, which is sold with salt-water fish supplies. Marine salt contains nearly 70 different elements and minerals and will perfectly mimic sea water. The most commonly found brand is Instant Ocean, and this is available in small boxes and larger bags. Please note that while salt sold for freshwater aquariums and (ironically) specifically for hermit crabs are not dangerous, they do not contain the extra elements needed and should not be used. You will need to dechlorinate the water used with the salt mix.
Hermit crabs do not need to be bathed. Crabs carry water in their shells at all times, and each crab likes to have its own personal mix of salt and fresh water. Bathing them ruins this mixture and can also stress them. The activity that occurs during and after a bath is a sign that they are frightened and are panicking.
In the wild, crabs are scavengers and will eat just about everything they come by, from plants to dead animals - but this doesn’t mean you can just feed junk to your hermit crabs! Not many commercial foods are recommended as they contain preservatives such as ethoxyquin and/or copper sulfate which pose long-term health risks, or contain unnecessary chemicals. As a staple diet, you should feed your crabs a variety of fresh or dried fruits and vegetables, whole grain foods, egg, meat, fish, poultry, other seafood, and also dried insects. Calcium powder, crushed coral and shells, crushed cuttlebone or eggshells should be provided at all times to help their exoskeleton stay strong.
Crabs love to climb, exercise, and practice acrobatics - some species are known as 'tree crabs' as they are found climbing trees in the wild. Providing climbing items is essential for their comfort. Cholla wood, cork bark, mopani, drfitwood and large coral can be found in pet stores and these items are easy to climb and they make a good snack! Safe woods can be collected for free from your yard as well if they have not been exposed to pesticides and fertilizers. Explore ways of creating second levels for your crabs, as this will give them high areas to hang out in, and also increase the square footage of your tank.
Each crab needs their own little “spot” – a safe place to retreat to for resting and to relieve stress. You’ll need to provide some type of shelter, such as a hollow half-log, plastic cave, or coco-hut. Crabs will also hide behind fake plants. You should have enough hiding spaces for each crab, otherwise your crabitat may be too crowded and this will stress the crabs. The more plants and shelters they have to hide in, the safer they will feel and the more you will see them. Insufficient shelter can cause hermits to bury underground more often.
Anything sold for reptiles and fish is generally recognized as also being crab safe. You can also find natural wood and fake plants at craft stores and dollar stores. Watch to make sure that whatever you are using is non-toxic and isn’t make of a material where the crabs can pinch off paint or parts of it. Crabs will pinch and destroy anything they can get their claws on!
Crabs should not have contact with anything chrome, as chromium ions are dangerous. Nickel, arsenic, and cadmium are also dangerous. Don’t use Spanish or decorative moss, as this is actually colored pine shavings, or craft moss as it may have pesticides. Also, be aware that iron will rust in the high humidity.
Hermit crabs grow and heal by molting, and during this time it is very important not to dig up or disturb your crab. When a crab is molting they spend that entire time underground without surfacing—not even to eat or drink. Unfortunately it’s a very boring time for us owners! A deep, moist, diggable substrate is essential to a successful molt. Your crab will likely completely bury for several weeks or months as they need the dark seclusion of the underground for their molting hormone (Ecdysone) to work. The water pressure maintained with the moist substrate allows them to bust out of their exoskeleton. If crabs are prevented from burying in moist substrate, or are regularly dug up, they can build up a molt-inhibiting hormone (Xanthurenic acid) which can have dire effects.
The time it takes for a crab to molt is determined by the size of crab and also by the crab itself, so there is no way of knowing just how long it will take. Smaller crabs generally molt faster and more often than larger ones. The time spent underground can be anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months, sometimes longer. Small crabs can molt once a month, while jumbo crabs may wait 12 to 18 months between molts.
During this period they will find a safe and quiet place under the substrate to build themselves a little cave. They will then shed their exoskeleton (skin), which will look exactly like the front-half of a crab, but will be empty inside. Once the exoskeleton is off and they’ve have a few hours to a few days to harden up the new skin, they’ll start eating their old exoskeleton to reabsorb the lost minerals and to help strengthen their new exoskeleton. They’ll then rest underground until they are completely hardened up and are ready to return to the surface.
Some warning signs that a molt may happen soon include the crab having an ashy or grayish appearance, blurry or cloudy eyes, confused antennae, the growth of a molting sac (looks like a black jelly bean just behind their back left leg), digging more often than usual, eating more than usual, and spending a lot of time around the water dish. Some crabs give off no signs at all. If a crab is missing a limb, you might see a small ball of clear gel begin to grow, this is called a gel limb, and is a sign that it will regenerate with the next molt.
Sometimes a crab will shed it’s exoskeleton without burying underground. This is called a surface molt. These are very dangerous for a crab and are usually a sign that something is wrong with their enclosure. If this ever happens, stay calm! Do not touch the crab as this can injure them. Cover the crab with a hide or other object that will block out light, and make sure any other crabs you have cannot get to the molter. The molting crab should be able to finish eating his exoskeleton and can join the other crabs once he’s moving around and eating normal food again. You can also isolate him in the tank with the top-half of a plastic bottle (with the cap open for air) to prevent other crabs from bothering him. If you pick up a surface molter, the exo may look like a dead crab falling out. Check way back in the shell for a newly molted crab before starting the funeral! He will need to eat the old exoskeleton in order to regain the lost calcium and nutrients, so don’t take it away.
Hermit crabs can regrow entire body parts when they molt. Limbs, pinchers, antennas and even eyes can reform in one molt or over a span of several molts. Hermit crabs who have been attacked and lost all their limbs have successfully survived by being cared for until they were able to molt again. Newly grown legs are often skinny and brightly colored, and new pinchers will be undersized, but usually within two molts they will be back to looking normal. Injuries can also be repaired while molting.
Hermit crabs can breed in captivity, and it's a sign of a healthy cabitat and happy hermit crabs. There is a good dose of luck involved as you must have two mature individuals of the opposite gender, which not all crabitats will have. Mature females are around medium in size, and the largest of males will win the fights for the right to mate with them. In the wild they have very set molting schedules of once per year, but in North America, captive crabs seem to breed between February and August with the most reports occurring in June and July. Eggs are ready to hatch roughly a month after mating occurs, and you may or may not see signs of the zoea in the water dish or eggs spread around the enclosure as the mother and other hermit crabs will eat them.
It is almost impossible to rear young hermit crabs. Their larvae are ocean plankton for weeks after hatching, and it takes specialized equipment and a lot of time and effort to get any to survive in captivity. Only a few people have ever managed this successfully, and several have tried. We hope that more owners will try in the future as we learn more about the process. Someday we may be able to breed hermit crabs readily in captivity, and hopefully there will be no more need for wild harvesting.
Assuming you provide your crabbies with a proper environment, they require relatively low maintenance. You should check the temperature and humidity every day and make adjustments as necessary. For instance, if the humidity is too high, you can prop open the glass cover a bit, or remove a small amount of saran wrap from the mesh. If the humidity is too low, you can prop the cover less, add more saran wrap, or check to make sure the substrate is staying moist enough. You should also remove any fresh food from the previous day to prevent spoilage, and make sure the water dishes are full and clean. Keeping the water clean is of utmost importance, as crabs can be very sensitive to water quality.
Every week, you need to completely clean out the water and food bowls.. If you have large water basins that are filtered and aerated, they still need to be completely cleaned once a month unless they are cycled. You can also spot-clean poo from the tank, although if your sand or coconut fiber is kept properly moist, beneficial microbes will naturally recycle the poo.
In the past it was often recommended to completely change your substrate after a set period, but many crabbers now choose to wait until the crabitat actually needs such a deep cleaning rather than follow a set schedule. Many have been using the same substrate for years with no problems! If you feel the need, substrate can be fully removed and replaced with fresh, and some old substrate can be retained to mix into the new to retain a familiar scent and for the good things that might be in the substrate. Try to work around the times when your crabs are molting so that there isn't any risk to them. It’s never a bad idea every few months to wash items in the tank in hot water. Cholla, driftwood, and cork can be microwaved for a couple of minutes while wet to kill any bacteria or mold.
Regular bathing used to be recommended, but it is no longer. Hermit crabs auto-regulate the salinity of their shell water (osmoregulation), and stock up before molting. Bathing disrupts their shell water and can stress them, plus you should never dig up buried crabs. Provided the proper fresh and salt water bowls, they will clean themselves. The only time baths should be considered is when you are introducing two unfamiliar hermit crabs, adding a new crab into an established tank, or when one crab is getting picked on. Making the new or picked on crab smell neutral will often prevent or stop fights.
If you use any organic climbing or hiding structures, like wood and wicker, don’t partially bury it in the moist substrate, or it may start to mold underground. Some mold growth is pretty much unavoidable in a crab tank, and while it's not good for us humans, it causes no health issues to the hermit crabs. Simply remove the affected items and clean them by boiling, baking, microwaving, or soaking in salt water. Allow wooden and natural items to dry completely before returning to help prevent mold from returning.
Finding random insects and harmless mites in the crabitat is also extremely common. These things are already living in our homes, but the heat and humidity of the crab tank attracts them. In many cases cleaning the tank completely will do nothing to help as more are still present in the area and will come back once the tank is set back up. Springtails, isopods and food mites actually act as a living clean-up crew, breaking down waste and helping to prevent mold. Fruit flies can be dealt with using an easy an non-toxic vinegar trap.

St. Johns County Commissioner Cyndi Stevenson, running for her third consecutive four-year term, will face one Republican challenger in the primary election Aug. 14, though the contest won't be over for the winner of that match-up.
"St. Johns County is business-ready," Stevenson said. "We've slashed impact fees 50 percent and our commercial permits have doubled. That makes us one of the fastest growing counties in Florida."
Brian Iannucci, her primary opponent, a native of St. Johns County and graduate of Nease High School, said his main priority is jobs and the economy.
"I'm tired of the same old (decisions) coming from the County Commission. It's an us-versus-them situation. The commission has gone astray," he said. "Government should work with the people."
He considers this year's .56-mill property tax rate hike a tax increase, one of four over the past five years, he said.
"People want two things out of government: to have their opinions listened to and to have action taken. We need to bring customer service back to St. Johns County," he said.
Iannucci said the county has $50 million in reserves that could have been used rather than raising property taxes.
Such accusations make Stevenson shake her head. She and other commissioners who approved the hike unanimously have explained multiple times to the St. Augustine Tea Party - which Iannucci has belonged to and supports - that reserves are earmarked for emergencies and required by law.
Stevenson believes he is wrong on the millage.
"County property taxes have decreased every year since 2007," she said. "There was a rate increase in 2009, but the county lowered the millage rate in 2007 by .93 mills and had no millage rate changes in 2008 and 2010. During the last 25 years, the millage has been decreased 11 times."
For this increase, she said, "The fire service was operating at a deficit while our population increased by a third. We should be setting the millage on what we need, not what we want. From now on, budgeting will be a full-contact sport."
Iannucci said that though there was some debate about the rate hike in town hall meetings, "the administration had already made up their minds. I don't believe the county was an honest broker in that instance. The County Commission sets the visions for St. Johns County and the staff executes that vision."
He said his message rings true to St. Johns County voters.
"The county needs someone with business experience, common sense and conviction," Iannucci said. "We need customer service and communication skills. I'm first and foremost a problem solver."
Stevenson said economic development isn't just building new structures.
"We have a $750 million economy. We're going to have to find (businesses) that fit here," she said. "There are only two new Lowe's being built in the country, and our community is one of them."
The West Augustine pipeline would mean new businesses there and that the county's looking into grant opportunities, she said. "We're making progress," she added. "The 800 MHz radio system should have been dealt with many years ago. We won't expand our level of services for a long time to come. There are things we can do to make money. Some of them will take time. We're all working hard to make it work. In 2012 alone, we've had $65 million in new growth."
The winner of the Aug. 14 primary will face Merrill Roland, a no-party-affiliation candidate, in November. Democrats have declined to enter a candidate in this race.

When Frank Darabont stepped down last July as the showrunner of The Walking Dead, it raised several eyebrows, especially after such a successful first season. The series creator's departure also angered an actor we hadn't previously known was even in The Walking Dead, Being Human's Sam Witwer. The actor revealed his brief role in The Walking Dead pilot, and how plans for a prequel won't be happening now that Frank Darabont isn't running the show.

Ukrainian telco Ukrtelecom plans to select a buyer for its 3G mobile network operations after 25 November 2011, reports The Kyiv Post citing the Interfax-Ukraine agency. Board chairman Heorhiy Dzekon said at a shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday: ‘We have completed the first round of receiving proposals from potential buyers, and have met with them. We’re waiting for the second round proposals from 22 November to 25 November. I think that the second round will be the last one, and afterwards we will make a decision.’ In September Ukrtelecom announced it was transferring all assets of its mobile business from its internal Utel division into a newly formed company, TriMob, for sale. According to Dzekon, Utel’s assets have not yet been transferred to TriMob, while the value of assets is UAH737 million (USD91 million). Meanwhile, the telco’s shareholders have approved its new business plan going forward, aiming to focus on converged broadband, pay-TV and IT services and lessen focus on traditional fixed line business, which has diminishing returns.

BERLIN (REUTERS) - Almost a third of Germans would vote in favour of their country leaving the European Union, a survey published on Tuesday showed, indicating widespread scepticism towards Europe among citizens of the bloc's biggest member.
Historically ardent Europeans, disenchantment towards the EU has grown among Germans with many uneasy about the influx of more than one million migrants last year and angry at having to bail out Greece in the debt crisis.
The YouGov poll for Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper found that only 54 percent of Germans supported staying in the EU, while 29 percent would want to leave the bloc if a referendum were held on membership.
Britons will vote on June 23 over whether to remain part of the EU. Two polls published on Tuesday showed that those campaigning for Britain to leave the bloc had moved ahead.
More than half of those surveyed in Germany and Sweden wanted Britain to remain a member of the EU, against only 42 percent of French respondents.
If Britain were to vote for a Brexit, the majority of those surveyed think it would trigger a domino effect with other countries deciding to leave too, the survey, conducted between May 19 and 24, found.
Asked who profited the most from EU membership, respondents in Britain said Germany, compared to those in Germany and France who saw Greece as the biggest winner.
Thirty percent of British respondents said they believed their country came of badly thanks to EU membership compared to 36 percent of Germans who believed they got a raw deal.

Officially launched April 2018, CRMDialer is a new, power-packed platform powered by IRIS CRM, an award winning CRM that provides a management platform to ISOs in the payments industry. Designed to provide a full-service telemarketing and CRM solution to businesses of all sizes, this sophisticated platform gives users everything they want and need with unlimited users.
We know there are many CRM solutions available on the market. But we also recognize that many of the options out there are difficult to implement and short on the necessary tools for standout communication (like SMS and telephony). As a result, many businesses have to outsource their phone communication to apps and third-party vendors. And you know what that leaves? A huge gap in their customer profiles.
That's why we created our revolutionary power dialer CRM platform. We saw a need out in the market, and we wanted to empower small and mid-sized businesses with innovative tools to boost their performance. We're no strangers to innovating. Back when Dimitri Akhrin founded IRIS CRM which was focused on the payment processing industry in 2010, he did so after seeing the lack of business management tools geared to the payment processing industry. He successfully created the leading system in the payment processing industry, and years later, the business is the market leading merchant services CRM, powering hundreds of businesses and delighting its clients. Most recently, IRIS CRM won the most prestigious 2018 ETA Award for outstanding Technology Innovation.
So, when the team set out to create an enterprise-level CRM solution for small and midsize businesses across multiple industries, you can bet we brought the same drive, passion and client-first ideology to the table. As Akhrin describes it, "CRMDialer takes all the sales, marketing and support functions of enterprise solutions, adds flexibility and integrated communication tools, and makes them available to organizations of all sizes at an affordable cost. CRMDialer helps its users communicate and collaborate more effectively, close more deals and work better together."
Dimitri Akhrin is the president of both IRIS CRM, the most advanced independent payment processing CRM on the market, and CRMDialer, a sophisticated telemarketing platform for small and mid-level businesses. He is passionate about sales leadership, keeping clients happy and how the future of CRM is evolving. Dimitri founded IRIS CRM in 2010 and CRMDialer in 2018.
With more than 17 years of industry experience and a deep understanding of being a hands-on manager, Dimitri is a recognized leader in the payment processing and Software as a Service (SaaS) CRM space. He is a problem solver and identified a gap to create a business management system capable of communicating with multiple payment networks.

Measurements of pressure losses and heat transfer rates were made for an unconventional crossflow heat exchanger with tubes of lenticular cross section so spaced to reduce variation in the velocity of the fluid outside the tubes, thus reducing separation and drag. The results of these experiments are reported for various tube spacing and demonstrate that the performance of the lenticular tube heat exchanger is superior to that of conventional circular tubes by 20 percent at Reynolds numbers of 20,000 to 50,000.

Select breeding gilts at weaning period, further selection should be done 5-6 months of age.
Select fast growing weaners. These will likely consume less feed per nit live weight gain. Thus less costly to keep.
During her 24-hour pick heat period allow the boar to serve twice, with an interval of about 12-14 hour intervals between services. Do not mate animals during the hot time of the day.
If the sow doesn’t conceive, she will return on heat again, in about 3 weeks time.
During the last month of pregnancy, give 0.5kg extra feed per day but decrease this gradually one week before farrowing. provide plenty of water to help prevent congested gut during farrowing.
The next day feed about 4kg/day. This is called flushing and should be done for a maximum of 10 days or until the service takes place.
If there are heat problems, change the type of feed for a few days.

We all know that our skin is the first line of defense against the outside world, but did you know that this protective barrier also has a protective barrier of its own? That’s right, it’s your skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is an important part in keeping you—and your skin—healthy. And we’re all about healthy skin at Biossance.
But sometimes this barrier becomes vulnerable from things like using harsh products, subjecting it to not-so-friendly environmental conditions and just plain old wear and tear. This can leave your skin dry, devitalized, dehydrated and feeling irritated. The good news is that you can restore what’s been lost with all the good fats your moisture barrier loves. Introducing Squalane + Omega Repair Cream, a decadent, guilt-free treat for your skin.
And what, exactly, is this moisture barrier thing, you ask? To explain, let’s start with a little skin anatomy 101. Your skin is made up of three layers: first is the epidermis, the outermost layer and the part that gives us our skin tone, protects us from the environment, and is where we slather on products to help keep us looking beautiful. This is also where the skin’s moisture barrier resides and the part of your skin we’ll be focusing on. Below the epidermis is the dermis which contains hair follicles, sweat glands and connective tissue. The lowest layer is the hypodermis, which is where our cushiony subcutaneous fat is found.
When it comes to the epidermis, you can think of it as layers that resemble the bricks and mortar of a brick wall, with the bricks getting progressively thinner toward the top. This is because the cells start out plump at the bottom then flatten out as they rise and to the surface and dry out, forming a layer on the skin’s surface like shingles on a roof. Within the epidermis are all sorts of fatty things like fatty acids, ceramides, sterols, and of course squalene, your skin’s own version of squalane. This is important, because these fats—also known as lipids—are what make up your protective moisture barrier and help your skin hold in vital hydration. Without these fats your skin becomes compromised. We don’t want you to be compromised.
Omega Repair Cream contains the good fats that replenish your skin’s natural moisture barrier: squalane, omega fatty acids, ceramides and plant sterols. These multi-lipids support skin, returning radiance, softness and a healthy-looking glow—and since it there are no heavy, occlusive oils, it won’t weigh your skin down or leave you feeling like a greasy mess.
Another interesting feature of Omega Repair Cream is that instead of conventional emulsifiers (ingredients that hold water and oil together), it contains a liquid crystal system. Studies show that liquid crystals structurally resemble our skin’s lipid barrier, while conventional emulsifiers can cause irritation by breaking down the lipids and disrupting the barrier. Since liquid crystals mimic our skin’s moisture, they support the replenishing action of lipids introduced to the skin and help hold moisture and hydration for longer periods of time than conventionally formulated moisturizers do.
My lifelong obsession with the world of beauty started at an early age and kicked off right out of high school as a makeup artist. My dreams of being the next big thing in Hollywood took a detour as I discovered esthetics and became fascinated with how the skin functions. From there I worked post-operatively with patients in a burn trauma unit, helping them care for their skin and conceal their scars. This led to product formulation and the world of aromatherapy where I began my career in product development. As a consultant for several years working with many startups, I quickly became the go-to in helping launch and rebrand product lines, my specialties in product formulation, regulatory compliant copywriting and building cohesive brand personalities. My love of natural and sustainable beauty led me to Biossance, where I happily reside as Senior Marketing Manager for new product development.

A fellow attorney asked me that a couple weeks ago over lunch. I had to think about it for a few minutes, and the answer that I finally settled on really surprised me. You might think that a civil litigator’s biggest struggle might involve the philosophy of the law, client communication, ethics, negotiating skills, or some other nebulous and over-arching concept. But consistently, the hardest thing about my practice is much more mundane than that; it’s money.
As a litigator practicing mostly personal injury, cash is an ongoing thorn in my side for two reasons. First, litigation is spectacularly expensive. You’re paying filing fees, court reporters, document review staff, expert witnesses, couriers, postage, copying costs, and a host of other costs. It’s not at all uncommon to see litigation expenses for a single trial climb into the tens of thousands of dollars.
The second, and more troubling, reason is that many clients come to me in a financially difficult position. Think about it; the person in my office, having just been involved in an accident, is some combination of the following: (i) without a car, (ii) injured, (iii) in urgent need of expensive medical care, (iv) unable to work, (v) unable to care for his or her family, and (vi) helplessly watching the medical bills pile up. When this happens, the client is in serious financial trouble; expenses are significantly higher than normal, and cash flow is substantially lower.
The idea here is that you have two involved parties; a debtor (either the client borrowing living expenses or the attorney borrowing litigation expenses) and a creditor. The creditor looks at the facts of the case and makes an underwriting determination as to the odds of success under the circumstances. If the odds of success are high, the creditor agrees to loan money to the debtor and claim what amounts to a lien against the plaintiff’s recovery down the road (basically, the plaintiff’s recovery is the collateral). When the plaintiff gets his or her settlement or judgment, he or she pays the loan back to the creditor along with any interest that may apply. Let’s tease this out by looking at a couple of examples.
Dexter is a plaintiff’s attorney running a one-man shop. His resources are limited and his operating account doesn’t have enough funds to front the expenses for a major lawsuit. Dexter is approached by Minerva, who has suffered devastating injuries after being struck by a tractor-trailer. Since the truck driver’s insurance is denying liability, Dexter is forced to file a lawsuit in order to recover. In order to prove liability, Dexter’s going to have to conduct depositions of all parties involved, as well as obtaining expert testimony from accident reconstructionists, mechanical engineers, and all of Minerva’s treating physicians. Dexter’s conservative cost estimate is $25,000.
Because Dexter’s operating account is lighter than that, he seeks out a lender offering pre-settlement financing and inquires about the possibility of borrowing the money against his contingent fee in Minerva’s recovery. The lender vets the claim, determines it to be meritorious, and loans Dexter the money. At trial, Dexter secures a nice judgment for Minerva, plus costs and expenses. He pays the lender back and everyone’s happy.
Same example as before, except from Minerva’s perspective this time. Minerva’s badly hurt and has to miss six months of work, during which time she racks up $250,000 in medical bills. Her medical providers are hounding her and threatening to send her accounts to collections, and Minerva can’t pay anything down because she can’t work. On top of that, she still has her regular living expenses to worry about.
With Dexter’s help, Minerva seeks out a reputable lender and applies for pre-settlement funding. Like before, the lender vets the claim, determines the odds of recovery to be high, and agrees to loan Minerva $15,000 for living expenses and to keep the debt collectors at bay until the trial is over. At trial, the jury awards Minerva $500,000. She pays back the $15,000 plus interest, and walks away with a nice win.
Is pre-settlement financing legal in North Carolina?
The short answer is yes, but the analysis gets pretty hairy and differs depending on what type of financing you’re talking about. So let’s talk about it!
Since the bigger policy interest is the protection of injured consumers, attorney financing really isn’t regulated as heavily here in North Carolina. As long as the agreement is legal (see more about this below), lawyers are permitted to enter into litigation financing agreements. Keep in mind that the debtor is the attorney or law firm, not the client, in these situations.
4. Lawyers can pass on the expense of obtaining financing to the client, but only if (i) the client gives informed written consent beforehand, (ii) the expenses are not clearly excessive under the circumstances, and (iii) the financed funds are only used to pay for that particular client’s case.
Fairly straightforward. The more complicated scenario arises when the client wants to borrow money.
There are two distinct sources of law that govern a person’s ability to borrow against a civil recovery, a lender’s ability to loan against said recovery, and a lawyer’s ability to refer clients to said lenders. Those sources are (i) the State Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct, and (ii) North Carolina law. We’ll cover each of these in turn.
It’s important to remember that the State Bar doesn’t offer opinions on the legality of any given topic. The only guidance the Bar gives is in relation to whether the conduct is ethical. With that in mind, the State Bar has published two Formal Ethics Opinion pertaining to injured clients borrowing money against their future recovery.
2000 FEO 4 pertains to lawyers acknowledging a finance company’s interest in a client’s recovery. This means that the client enters into a financing agreement, and the lender sends a copy of its claimed lien to the lawyer for the lawyer to acknowledge by signing. The effect of the lawyer’s signature is that he or she recognizes the lien as valid and agrees to reimburse the lender when the settlement or judgment check comes in. The State Bar allows lawyers to do this, provided that the lawyer determine the agreement to be legal in his or her best judgment, and subject to the lawyer’s pre-existing ethical duties to the client. Moreover, if the attorney determines the lien to be valid and enforceable, and if the client acknowledges the debt, the lawyer is obligated to disburse settlement funds to the lender even if the client instructs him or her not to do so. There are some specific rules about what the lawyer’s acknowledgement has to include, but I don’t see the need to bore you with the minutia here.
2006 FEO 2 permits lawyers to actually refer clients to specific lenders, provided that (i) the lawyer is satisfied that the agreement is legal, (ii) the lawyer receives no compensation or other consideration as the result of the agreement, and (iii) the lawyer believes the referral to be in the client’s best interests. Since the State Bar won’t settle the first element – that of legality – we have to turn to our own analysis of North Carolina law in order to figure out what the standard is.
Legal precedent pertaining to pre-settlement financing in North Carolina is actually pretty scant at this point. From a statutory perspective, we’ve got standard consumer protection legislation on the books; Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices, the Consumer Finance Act, et cetera. In terms of case law, the landmark case is Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hosp. v. First Georgia Insurance Co., 340 N.C. 88, 455 S.E.2d 655 (1995), wherein the North Carolina Supreme Court basically green-lit these agreements provided that the client assign the lender his or her interest in the proceeds of the claim and not the claim itself.
But the plot didn’t really thicken until thirteen years later, when the North Carolina Court of Appeals handed down its opinion in Odell v. Legal Bucks, LLC, 665 S.E.2d 767 (N.C.App., 2008). Legal Bucks is the most thorough, thoughtful, and comprehensive judicial view of pre-settlement funding that we have to date, and it’s more than worth spending some time on.
In Legal Bucks, Nancy Odell took out a high-interest pre-settlement loan of $3,000 from Legal Bucks to cover living expenses during the pendency of her claim. After recovering $18,000 through settlement, Odell discovered that the terms of her financing agreement required her to pay back $9,582; more than triple the loaned amount and more than half of her recovery. Odell then sued Legal Bucks, alleging that the financing agreement was illegal and unenforceable because it violated North Carolina’s laws against (i) illegal gaming contracts, (ii) champerty and maintenance, (iii) usury, (iv) illegal consumer finance practices, and (v) unfair and deceptive trade practices.
Illegal gaming contracts. Odell first claimed that the agreement was null because it constituted a “bet” and a “wager” in violation of N.C.G.S. § 16-1, which declares gaming and betting contracts to be unenforceable. The Court of Appeals determined that the contract wasn’t a “bet” because a bet has to have a winner and a loser; since the contract contemplated that both parties would benefit, the “bet” argument was out. The Court then held that a “wager” requires that neither party have an independent, vested interest in the “contingent event at issue.” Because Odell obviously had a very direct interest in the outcome, the agreement couldn’t be wager, either. Because the contract wasn’t a bet or a wager, the Court said “no” on illegal gaming contracts under § 16-1.
The issue of champerty ended up being the fulcrum on which Charlotte-Mecklenburg was decided. What the Supreme Court landed on in that case was that it’s permissible for a party to assign away the proceeds of his or her claim, provided that the claim itself remain undisturbed. In other words, lenders may loan money against the funds that the plaintiff anticipates receiving upon settlement or judgment, but the lender may not loan said money on the condition that it be allowed to assert control over the plaintiff’s claim.
The agreement between Odell and Legal Bucks stated that Odell “unconditionally and irrevocably transfers and conveys to Legal Bucks all of [Odell’s] control, title and interest in the first monies paid … [emphasis added].” Because the agreement clearly attached to the proceeds of the claim, and not the claim itself, the Court of Appeals also nixed Plaintiff’s champerty argument.
It should be noted, however, that the Court issued a stern warning to lenders and made its concerns clear that lender involvement could encourage litigation, which would (i) violate North Carolina’s strong public policy in favor of claim settlement and (ii) indirectly allow lenders to assert a degree of control over whether or not a claim goes to trial. If that were to happen, a pre-settlement financing agreement would be champertous and unenforceable; however, the agreement at issue in Legal Bucks didn’t quite reach that threshold. That was because Odell offered no evidence that Legal Bucks’s involvement was for the purpose of stirring up “strife and continuing litigation.” In addition, the agreement clearly stated that Legal Bucks was to have “no control, input, influence, right or involvement of any kind” in the prosecution of Odell’s claim. This more than anything seems to have influenced the Court’s decision that the agreement didn’t constitute champerty.
The Court found that “intent,” for usury purposes, doesn’t necessarily mean a malicious, criminal intent to overcharge unsuspecting consumers; Odell just had to show that Legal Bucks entered into the agreement intentionally, and that the agreement required the debtor to pay unlawfully high interest. Since both of these elements were met, the Court agreed with Odell that the agreement was illegally usurious and therefore unenforceable.
Consumer Finance Act. North Carolina’s Consumer Finance Act is pretty straightforward; it requires that lenders can’t loan under Chapter 24 without getting a license first from the Commissioner of Banks. Since Legal Bucks was irrefutably unlicensed and it was already established that it was in violation of Chapter 24, the Court held that it was also in violation of the Consumer Finance Act. Easy-peasy.
Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices. Odell’s final argument was that the agreement constituted an Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice (or “UDTP”), in violation of North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 75. A UDTP exists where a defendant (i) commits an unfair and deceptive act or practice, (ii) the action in question was in or affecting commerce, and (iii) the act proximately caused injury to the plaintiff. It’s certainly worth mentioning that under § 75-1.1, a violation of Chapter 75 entitles the plaintiff to treble (triple) damages. Not really applicable here since Odell was using Chapter 75 as a shield (protecting her from having to pay Legal Bucks) rather than a sword (trying to get money out of a defendant), but the specter of treble damages can be a huge stick to use on a flippant prospective defendant.
The Court disagreed with Odell’s initial contention that a violation of Chapter 24 constitutes a per se (automatic) violation of Chapter 75. It’s worth noting that violations of many statutes do constitute UDTPs, but in this particular case the Court didn’t agree that the agreement was a UDTP solely by virtue of the Chapter 24 violation. Chapter 24 does get close enough that the statute itself dictates high-interest home loans to be UDTPs, but it never says anything about illegally high-interest pre-settlement financing agreements. That would have made the analysis a lot easier, but there you go.
Legal Bucks argued that the agreement couldn’t be deceptive because it thoroughly set forth all of its terms, in writing, within the body of the contract. The Court disagreed, as prior North Carolina case law dictates that (i) the act in question doesn’t have to actually be deceptive if it has the capacity to deceive, and (ii) the act in question does have the capacity to deceive in situations where an agreement that violates the Consumer Finance Act fails to state that it does so. As a result, the agreement was held to be unfair and deceptive, and Legal Bucks was therefore held to be in violation of Chapter 75.
In summary, the Court of Appeals held that the Legal Bucks agreement wasn’t an illegal gaming contract and that it wasn’t champertous (though it was very, very close), but that it was usurious and a violation of Chapters 24 (Consumer Finance) and 75 (Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practice). Since the contract was unenforceable, Odell didn't have to pay anything back to Legal Bucks.
Now, does this mean that all pre-settlement financing agreements are illegal in North Carolina? No. It means that lenders need to learn from Legal Bucks’s mistakes. They need to stay abreast of permissible interest rates, get licensed to loan money, and make sure that all of their terms are very clearly laid out in their agreements. North Carolina courts haven’t come right out and said that these agreements won’t fly, but they sure don’t seem to be big fans of them, either. You can probably bet that a presiding judge will take advantage of any opportunity to void one of these contracts.
What are the pros and cons of pre-settlement financing?
Clients should also be cautioned, however, about the potential drawbacks to accepting a pre-settlement loan. Even under the best terms, the loan repayment is going to cut into the client’s recovery. It’s all too common that these settlement amounts are treated as a windfall (statistics show that recipients of settlements tend to fritter their money away with the same speed and recklessness as lottery winners), and if the money isn’t budgeted properly, it’s very easy for the client to end up netting a loss. For the same reason, the client should keep a very close eye on the interest rates contemplated by the agreement; as should lenders, by the way, since loaning at a usurious interest rate to a shrewd plaintiff is likely to end up meaning free money for the debtor. Finally, the client should read the agreement carefully and have his or her attorney do the same. This is the case with any contract, but particularly so in the case of pre-settlement financing agreements.
Pre-settlement financing can be a serious benefit to injured claimants under the right set of circumstances.

Sylvia “Cadesky” Stoun Mureddu, 96, died, May 25, 2017, at home surrounded by her family. She was the devoted wife of the late Michael L. Mureddu of Newport and the late Meyer J. Stoun. Sylvia was born in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada on July 27, 1920. She was the daughter of the late Samuel and Tillye Cadesky. Her family immigrated to Canada from Russia in the late 1800s.
Sylvia leaves eight children, Michael Mureddu, Patricia Griffy and her husband Bobby, Charles Mureddu and his wife Dawn, John Mureddu and his wife Renee, Bryan Mureddu, Robert Mureddu and his wife Carol, Christopher, Mary Jones who was also Sylvia’s caretaker for the last four years and her partner Roy Dutra, her loving sister-in-law Catherine Mureddu, brother-in-law Louis Mureddu and his wife Barbara Mureddu and their children Peter and Katie. She also leaves twenty-three grandchildren, twenty-two great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
Sylvia was blessed to have met and fall in love with two wonderful husbands whom she affectionately called “Her two Mikes”. Sylvia took care of her first husband during a long illness until he passed in the early 60’s. She came to Newport in 1970 where she met and married her second husband, Mike Mureddu. Together they created a beautiful life together that although very private, they invited many to share in their story through live entertainment and radio. They were hard at work raising children and contributing to many local civic and private charities. From the beginning, Mike and Sylvia became true partners in life.
Sylvia’s career spanned 70 years of entertaining as a piano player, singer, and comedian, and humorist under her stage name “Miss Saucy Sylvia”. At age 6, she began playing the piano, which she learned from the nuns at Sisters of St. Joseph Academy. Sylvia eventually went on to college and graduated from the University of Toronto with a teaching degree and a master in languages. While in school, she worked at a small local radio station CFRB. With a different turn or twist, Saucy might be a retired German professor. Instead, she chose music and moved to Cincinnati where she was hired as a staff vocalist at WLW. also known as the “Nations Clear Channel” because it could be heard from coast to coast. Other staff vocalists at the time were Rosemary and Betty Clooney, and Doris Day. The Sylvia Show would be heard every week with guests stopping by including Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. She also worked at W.J.R. in Detroit and WINS in New York. After moving to Newport, Sylvia continued to tour the nation until she decided her true love was performing for the millions of Newport’s visitors and especially for her friends and fans locally for over 27 years. Sylvia also hosted a live music show that was produced and directed by her husband Mike on local radio station W.A.D.K. for 25 years. The Saucy Sylvia show showcased talented musicians from all over the world but more importantly provided an historical timeline that stressed the importance of music and its influence throughout the 20th Century or as many would describe as ”America’s Century”.
Sylvia was the president of local 529 of the American Federation of Musicians and also held memberships in the Providence and Detroit locals. She brought live music to the local schools and started a summer concert series at Easton’s Beach and the city’s parks, which remain popular today. She was a champion for local musicians finding local and regional work and opportunities to play with many national and international artists at the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals. She also worked in finding local musicians roles in several major movies including True Lies, Mr. North, and Amistad.
Sylvia was inducted to the Newport Jazz Hall of Fame with George Wien and Ella Fitzgerald in 2002 and The Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame in 2014. She has won many awards and proclamations over her lifetime. Although Sylvia is a naturalized citizen, patriotic songs always were part of her shows. She said she enjoyed having the audience sing “God Bless America” with her.
Mary, Chris and Chuck would personally like to thank “Sylvia’s girls” who were her care team. Maggie, Rija, Pam, Cindy, Janie, Maressa, Danae, and Heather who were an invaluable asset to Mary who will always have love in her heart for them. Also, Dr. Robert Cicchelli and Heidi who’s compassion and care will never go unforgotten.
The family would also like to thank the Visiting Nurse Services of Newport County.
Respecting Sylvia’s wishes, Funeral services and burial will be private.
For those wishing to remember Sylvia, a memorial contribution may be made to the Boys and Girls Club, 95 Church Street, Newport, RI 02840, the Wounded Warrior Project, Attn. Advanced Guard, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675, and Housing Hotline, 10 Collins Street, Newport, RI 02840.

I’d like to visit Iceland. This is a fabulous land and Mecca for geologists that lets us see a lot of geological processes forming the surface of our planet – volcanos, geysers, solfatares... Unfortunatelly, the airlines that were supposed to provide cheap flights to this country have spectacularly collapsed, so we’ll have to wait longer. Instead of this we headed south for Gliwice.
In high temperature black coal shales turn into „bricks”. This process helps to preserve these fossils in every detail. It also has decorative value - there is a difference between black, dirty and red-yellow shale.
Burning slag heads have been a serious problem as their extinguishing is almost impossible. Fortunately, someone came up with the idea of using these burnt parts as aggregate in road works. For us this is a good opportunity to collect some fossils... Next time I’ll bring some sausages for a barbecue.

We have seen that not everyone will be in the kingdom of heaven. In fact, we saw that few will be in the kingdom of heaven. We also saw that when one wants to enter the kingdom of heaven, there will be forces attempting to prevent them from entering the kingdom of heaven. So the following question arises: what kind of people will enter in the kingdom of heaven? The answer to that question is examined now.
To enter the kingdom of God you have to have no sin in your account. This is because God is in the kingdom of heaven, and to be in the presence of God one must have no sin in their account.
To have no sin in one’s account, one must either have never sinned, or one’s sin must be paid off.
Jesus pointed this fact to us in a very interesting way – He did it by pointing to a child.
When you see a little child, what picture comes to your mind?
When Jesus saw a little child, the picture that came to His mind was that the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like little children.
Mt 19:14 But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Why did Jesus make such a statement?
More specifically, what property of children allowed them to be a part of the kingdom of heaven?
There is only one reason that I can think of as to why this could be – it is that children are innocent and therefore do not have sin in their account. Consider Mt 18:10 where Jesus illustrates this point.
Mt 18:10 "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven."
The only way that one’s angel has continual access to God is if one has no sin in their account.
Little children are innocent. That is, they do not understand the difference between right and wrong. As a result, sin is not imputed to them. Because they have no sin in their account they satisfy the key requirement to enter the kingdom of heaven. That is the reason why Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like little children.
That is also why Jesus said that one must be born again – i.e. be converted to become like sinless little children – in order to enter the kingdom of God.
Lk 18:16-17 But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
Mk 10:14-15 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
When we attempt to enter the kingdom of God we must receive it like a child. That is, we must approach it with no sin in our account. If we attempt to receive it while we still have sin in our account then we will be cast out (Mt 22:11-13).

The fight between the White House and journalistic legend Bob Woodward is a silly distraction to a major problem: The failure of President Obama and House Republicans to lead the country under a budget deadline.
Woodward-gate is a distraction the White House welcomed, even encouraged, as part of a public-relations strategy to emasculate the GOP and anybody else who challenges Obama. It is a distraction that briefly enveloped my reporting last weekend, when I essentially broke ties with a senior White House official.
Yes, I iced a source"“ and my only regret is I didn't do it sooner. I decided to share this encounter because it might shed light on the increasingly toxic relationship between media and government, which is why the Woodward flap matters outside the Beltway.
Reporting by Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered Watergate misdeeds and led to the resignation of President Nixon. My tweet was not intended to compare Nixon to Obama (there is no reason to doubt Obama's integrity -- period) but rather to compare the attack to the press strategies of all the presidents' men.
I had angered the White House, particularly a senior White House official who I am unable to identify because I promised the person anonymity. Going back to my first political beat, covering Bill Clinton's administration in Arkansas and later in Washington, I've had a practice that is fairly common in journalism: A handful of sources I deal with regularly are granted blanket anonymity. Any time we communicate, they know I am prepared to report the information at will (matters of fact, not spin or opinion) and that I will not attribute it to them.
The official angered by my Woodward tweet sent me an indignant e-mail. "What's next, a Nazi analogy?" the official wrote, chastising me for spreading "bull**** like that" I was not offended by the note, mild in comparison to past exchanges with this official. But it was the last straw in a relationship that had deteriorated.
As editor-in-chief of National Journal, I received several e-mails and telephone calls from this White House official filled with vulgarity, abusive language, and virtually the same phrase that Politico characterized as a veiled threat. "You will regret staking out that claim," The Washington Post reporter was told.
Once I moved back to daily reporting this year, the badgering intensified. I wrote Saturday night, asking the official to stop e-mailing me. The official wrote, challenging Woodward and my tweet. "Get off your high horse and assess the facts, Ron," the official wrote.
I haven't heard back from the official. It was a step not taken lightly because the note essentially ended our working relationship. Without the cloak of anonymity, government officials can't be as open with reporters "“ they can't reveal as much information and they can't explain the nuance and context driving major events.
I changed the rules of our relationship, first, because it was a waste of my time (and the official's government-funded salary) to engage in abusive conversations. Second, I didn't want to condone behavior that might intimidate less-experienced reporters, a reaction I personally witnessed in journalists covering the Obama administration.
That gets to why this matters beyond the incestuous Washington culture. One of this country's most important traditions is "a free press that isn't afraid to ask questions, to examine and to criticize," Obama said at the 2012 White House Correspondents Association's annual dinner.
Because of tech-fueled changes in the market, there are fewer reporters doing more work with less experience than when I came to Washington with Clinton in 1993. Also, the standard relationship between reporters and their sources is more combative, a reflection of polarization in Washington and within the media industry.
Personally, I had a great relationship with Clinton's communications team, less so with President Bush's press shop, and now -- for the first time in my career -- I told a public servant to essentially buzz off.
CORRECTION: An early version of the story did not make clear that Politico reported Woodward's reaction to the email suggested "he saw it as a veiled threat."

VARDAMAN -- A dry September put a damper on Mississippi sweet potato production, but the rain in early October may help the crop remaining in the field.
Stephen Meyers, sweet potato specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said sweet potato fields received about an inch of rain Oct. 3.
“We’re optimistic that this rain will help size up the storage roots, but because of muddy conditions, producers will probably be out of the field for two days, and then resume harvest,” Meyers said.
Soil conditions when the crop was transplanted in May and June resulted in a mixed bag of yield and quality for Mississippi’s sweet potatoes.
“The transplant conditions go a long way to determine what kind of crop it will be, and Mississippi growers set transplants into everything from mud to hot, dry soil,” Meyers said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated almost half the state’s sweet potatoes were in good condition by the end of September; 30 percent were fair and 22 percent were excellent. The crop was 41 percent harvested by that point, making it slightly behind a normal harvest schedule.
The bulk of Mississippi’s sweet potato production is grown within a 40-mile radius of Vardaman in Calhoun County. Coming off excellent yields in 2013, producers increased planted acreage 22 percent to 22,500 acres this year, but weather conditions did not allow a bin-busting crop.
The rain dried up in August, and the crop was mostly dry through September. This limited the size of the potatoes.
“Most of our growers could use some rain right now to help size up the roots that are still in the field and to soften up the soil to reduce the skinning on what’s being harvested now,” he said.
Benny Graves, executive director of the Mississippi Sweet Potato Council, said the crop being harvested is beautiful but small. Producers have not pushed to harvest quickly and are trying to allow time for a rain to fall.
When harvest continues into November, producers run the risk of losing some of the crop when cold rains make fields too muddy for harvest.
“This year we were about 10 days to two weeks late getting started on harvest, so we’ll need every day of October to dig them out,” Graves said.
This year saw many sweet potato growers employ a crop rotation system with sorghum.
Beauregard has long been the main variety grown in Mississippi, but this year, the new variety Orleans has gained a lot of ground.
Alba Collart, Extension agricultural economist, said 2014 Mississippi sweet potato prices are up from last year’s.

Federação Portuguesa pela Vida - Eleição do juiz Kavanaugh: um princípio de fim do aborto nos EUA?
Eleição do juiz Kavanaugh: um princípio de fim do aborto nos EUA?
Ainda as audições preparatórias da confirmação pelo Senado dos EUA do juíz do Supremo, Brett Kavanaugh. Constantes perturbações e interrupções por parte de ativistas na sala de audições, manifestações no exterior por mulheres com trajes da famosa saga Handmaid's Tale, constantes ataques e debates na imprensa. Em jogo, acima de tudo, o futuro da legislação sobre o aborto nos Estados Unidos.
Shout, Arrest, Repeat. Who Are the Abortion Activists Getting Arrested at the Kavanaugh Hearings?
Disruptions, arrests and harassment continued Wednesday during the second day of Senate hearings on the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Several prominent abortion activists were among the 70 protesters arrested Tuesday during the opening hearings, according to the AP. Among them was Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour who was arrested after her screaming interrupted the hearing, WOAI Radio reports. Some of them were even caught getting paid for their protests.
A Politico photo showed another protester being pulled out of the room holding a sign that read “Roe – Yes, Kava – Nope, Codepink.” Another could be heard yelling “Trump’s puppet” as police dragged her away. Police said the 70 face charges of disorderly conduct.
The AP described the hearings thus far as a “shout-and-arrest pattern” with protesters shouting every few minutes to interrupt the hearing before being hauled out by police.
Alison Dreith, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri, also was arrested Tuesday during the protest.
Other abortion activists who were arrested included actress Piper Perabo, #VOTEPROCHOICE co-founder Heidi Sieck and UltraViolet Executive Director Shaunna Thomas, according to The Cut.
At one point Tuesday, Kavanaugh’s wife took their young daughters out of the room because of the nastiness of the protesters.
It appears some of the other protesters may have been paid to cause a ruckus at the hearing.
Dr. Tom Schlueter, of Texas, who attended the hearing, said he observed people being given cash as they waited in line for a seat in the Senate hearing room, The Gateway Pundit reports.
LifeNews has reported other times when pro-abortion groups also appeared to be paying protesters to attend political events.
Clinton, who supported a radical pro-abortion agenda during her campaigns, does not like the idea that Kavanaugh could be the fifth conservative justice on the high court and a possible vote on abortion restrictions and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
A Democrat, Clinton supports unrestricted abortions for basically any reason up to birth. She also advocated for taxpayer-funded abortions throughout her 2016 campaign, and promised to appoint pro-abortion justices to the Supreme Court if elected.
Clinton joined the radical pro-abortion group NARAL, Planned Parenthood and others in labeling Kavanaugh a “serious threat” to “women’s right to safe, legal abortion,” while national pro-life leaders have expressed high hopes for Kavanaugh and the future of unborn babies’ rights.
Patrick Leahy grilled Kavanaugh about emails “stolen” from a server shared by Republicans and Democrats in the early 2000s, which Kavanaugh apparently received, but denied any involvement in or knowledge of in the past. And Kamala Harris pressed Kavanaugh on whether he had ever discussed Robert Mueller’s investigation with anyone at the firm founded by Trump’s lawyer.
Their attacks did not seem to stick. On abortion, Kavanaugh said he was merely summarizing other legal scholars’ views. On the leaked emails, he appeared confused. And on Mueller, Kavanaugh said he never gave “any winks, hints, forecasts, previews, nothing, about my view as a judge, or how I would rule as a judge” on a potential case about the Russia inquiry.
In the end, none of it may matter. Even before the hearings began, it seemed likely that Republicans had the votes for confirmation, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that he had no doubt “whatsoever” that Kavanaugh would get through. The Senate Judiciary Committee has produced hours and hours of testimony from a judge who will likely serve a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, attempting to compel a confession about which precedents he’ll keep or overturn right before he is set free to vote however he chooses on any future case. The whole contentious process demonstrated how partisan the Supreme Court nomination process has become, and how little power Congress—and American citizens—has to influence the judiciary.
Kavanaugh followed what has now become a time-honored tradition of Court nominees wriggling their way out of giving a definitive answer about their views. His former boss at Harvard Law School, now-Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, referred to the practice in her confirmation hearings as not giving a “thumbs-up or thumbs-down” to any particular case. Kavanaugh consistently called back to the issue of judicial independence, crutching on the often-used sports cliché that he is just an “umpire,” calling cases in a purportedly neutral way.
Kavanaugh did have an interesting exchange with Republican Senator Ben Sasse about precedent, however. As Damon Root pointed out in the magazine Reason, Sasse got Kavanaugh to explain why he thought Brown v. Board of Education, which overturned the ruling that African Americans could be treated as “separate but equal” in Plessy v. Ferguson, was correctly decided. Kavanaugh praised the way the lawyer Thurgood Marshall, a future justice, litigated segregation cases in the lead-up to Brown, creating an incremental argument that eventually prevailed at the Supreme Court.
The exchange provided a useful look into Kavanaugh’s legal thinking about an issue that will inevitably come up during his time on the Court, if he is confirmed: All justices eventually face the question of whether to overturn past Supreme Court precedents, and no matter their ideological background, the temptation to do so is strong. Although they did not often succeed at getting definitive answers from Kavanaugh, senators have at least created a public record of his claims to judicial independence, which, if he is confirmed, may prove interesting as his record as a justice expands.
Whatever five people believe at any given time … they can rewrite our history and come up with a new history. … I hope that one day the Court will sit down and think long and hard about the path they’ve charted. … [It] shuts out all of us who have gone to the ballot box and gone through the test of being elected.
Kavanaugh’s confirmation will likely be brought to a swift vote in the full Senate chamber, where he’ll only need 51 votes to win his lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. After marathon days of testimony, punctuated by dramatic arguments over Senate documents and the passionate cries of protesters who claim that Kavanaugh’s confirmation is “a matter of life and death,” it’s not clear that anything has changed. Another Supreme Court justice will likely be confirmed, and the theater of democracy will continue.

In its 15th year, EXAUDI brought the latest instalment of their Italian Madrigal Book to Wigmore Hall. The programme combines music of the 16th and 17th centuries - by the likes of Jacques Arcadelt, Luca Marenzio, Giaches de Wert, and Claudio Monteverdi - with 21st-century works by Salvatore Sciarrino and EXAUDI director James Weeks.
The 8 voices of EXAUDI sang in varying combinations; their uniform sound stayed interesting, with solo singers trading moments of spotlight. Just as we grew comfortable in their 16th-century sound, well grounded and ringing with overtones, Weeks revealed his stealthy integration of Arcadelt’s Primo Libro de’ Madrigali and the EXAUDI director’s own Libro di fiammelle e ombre. The two composers shared texts - largely by anonymous authors - which live on the blurry line between love, lust, desperation, and death.

Weeks’ sparse, scattered, intensely dissonant settings were a complete U-turn from the familiar aesthetic of the Arcadelt. The two composers’ songs were uneqally interwoven; Arcadelt’s music took the greater portion at the beginning, and slowly gave way to the settings by Weeks. Later in the programme, the Sciarrino songs revealed themselves to be a true point of inspiration for Weeks; the EXAUDI director - and obvious lover of the possibilities of voices - seemed to stretch the limits of dissonance, bending pitches, and true dissonance. Like the Sciarrino, Weeks’ settings are imaginative and novel; yet they seemed to overstay their welcome, letting intrigue give way to irritation.
Though our own tastes may vary, there’s no doubt of the skill found within the 8 singers of EXAUDI, and with the extraordinary attention to detail in Weeks’ direction. The programme is thoughtful and expertly prepared, and the effortless music-making had us curious about how each singer fit into the collective. The use of tuning forks to find pitch was more fascinating than it sounds; some singers preferred to sound their tuning forks by hitting it against the outside of their index finger, and some seemed content to simply knock it against the upstage side of their own head. Maybe it’s unorthodox, but we can’t argue with the results.
You can catch EXAUDI next this summer, first in Paris on June 2, and in Aldeburgh on June 10. For more dates, click here, and stay in touch via Twitter and Facebook.

This post was originally published on March 15, 2009. It was substantially revised and re-posted on October 26, 2015 as part of Villains Week.
It could be a clunky-cool choice for a daughter, but instead, it’s a Disney villain name.
Thanks to Natalie for suggesting Ursula as our Baby Name of the Day.
Disney’s The Little Mermaid propelled the name Ariel to new heights in 1989.
But it did no favors for Ursula.
The traditional version of the fairytale includes a sea witch, who uses magic to turn the mermaid’s fish tail into legs. Disney named her Urusla, and made her a purple-skinned, white-haired, tentacle-waving menace. Technically, she’s a cecaelia, a woman-octopus hybrid.
In the fairytale, the witch casts her spell and retreats to the background. But in the movie, she’s a major bad-guy with a thirst for power.
Sometimes villain names catch on. But no one had been naming their daughter Ursula well before 1989. The name never cracked the US Top 400. It last appeared in the Top 1000 back in 1983, and in 1988, just 127 girls were given the name.
But there was a sharp drop in the name’s use after The Little Mermaid debuted. In 1989, Americans welcomed a mere 105 Ursulas. By 2014, that number was just 23.
Despite the name’s association with a power-hungry half-octopus, it actually comes from the Latin ursa – bear – think Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.
The name was made famous by a legendary saint.
The saint’s story begins in England, sometime around the fourth century. The story goes like this: Ursula was a Christian princess, set to marry a pagan ruler overseas. When her ship landed, the devout princess announced that she wished to make a pilgrimage to Rome prior to her marriage.
Ursula made it as afar as Cologne, where she met her death at the hands of the Huns.
Here’s where things turn unbelievable. It’s said that Ursula sailed with 11,000 handmaidens, and the Huns dispatched all 11,001 of them. Their bones are still on display in Cologne’s Basilica of St. Ursula.
The bones are real, but it appears that Ursula’s party was far smaller – perhaps eleven handmaidens. An inscription reading XI. M. V. – eleven martyred virgins – may have been misinterpreted as eleven thousand. It’s a heck of a medieval typo! The story became quite popular in the Middle Ages, so while the bones likely come from many of the deceased over the many years, the story of 11,001 martyrs remained popular.
There is a historic Saint Ursula, born Julia in 1865, and the founder of a religious congregation.
Honey Ryder – the first Bond girl in 1962’s Dr. No – was played by Swiss-born actress Ursula Andress. Ursula saw a brief resurgence in the 1960s thanks to the Swedish starlet.
Disney’s sea witch and Friends‘ psychotic twin came at a moment when no one was naming their daughter Ursula. It seems unlikely that the name will make a comeback.
It’s an unconventional choice, but one with fascinating roots and an interesting style.
What do you think of Ursula? Is this name gone for good?
I named my daughter Ursula in 2011, not knowing that the Little Mermaid was such a “big deal” (I saw it once when I was 15, and had no memory of the characters’ names, plus even when it was brought to my attention, I thought “really? A Disney movie? Who cares?”). So I fight with the sometimes negative reputation that precedes it…which bugs me! Because I really like the name! It’s strong, but still feminine, has a sweet meaning, and it’s unique. I hope my sweet girl loves it some day as I do. And I’m happy to see the positive comments on here! Yay for Ursula!
Have frequently had the fantasy of naming siblings or fraternal twins Boris and Ursula, for obvious reasons 🙂 (little bears).
Ursula is my middle name, and I was born in 1979. Both my first and middle names, Anna and Ursula, came from D.H. Lawrence’s The Rainbow. I’m supremely annoyed many people think only of The Little Mermaid, as though my middle name were created only for that character. For awhile, I went by my middle name, since my real first name is more common than dirt. I also wanted to name my future firstborn daughter Urszula, using the Polish spelling to tell us apart. If I ever have kids, and have enough girls, I may very well name a daughter Ursula. I love how universal the name is, existing in many different languages, like Icelandic, Dutch, German, French, Hungarian, Italian, and Spanish.
I’ve always adored the name Ursula. I had a school acquaintance with that name (born in the 70s) and my first impression of it is associated with her. Stunningly beautiful, with long wavy dark hair and a very kind and gentle person. I also like the association with she-bears. It’s a name with both real life and powerful mythical associations for me. It’s also quite lovely sounding to my ear and nice to say. It’s one of the names I would have liked to give to a daughter, but my husband has put the kibosh on it, unfortunately (for her!).
This was on our short list, as my husband’s nickname is Ursao (Big Bear). I always thought it’d make a nice sibset with or alternative to Olivia. I say it UR-suh-la.
I’ve been crushing on Ursula for years! Any thoughts on a little Ursula with the nickname Zuzu? I know it’s a huge leap from the original formal name but I’ve always really loved both, and the sound is there. Think anyone would call us out?
Ohmygoodness – Ursula called Zuzu is exactly what I would be tempted to use! I figure that if Sue/Susie seems like a logical nick for Ursula, why not Zuzu?
I am of the Disney Renaissance generation, but I really like the name Ursula. In Les Miserables, Marius is guessing what Cosette’s name might be before he meets her, and he imagines that she would be an Ursula. I really like the variant Ursuline, as well.
I have a friend, about my age, who’s named Ursula. It works beautiful for her, and I want to love it (I think it would be cool with my own surname, which begins with U — how often do you get U.U.?), but the Disney villain associations are just too strong for me.
I wouldn’t use it myself, but I don’t dislike it. I think first of Urszula Radwańska (OOR-shoo-lah) [I’m a tennis fan], then of Ursula Buffay (UR-suh-luh). Funnily, I don’t think of the Ariel character anymore, even though I’m the right age for it.
Emmy Jo – I’m in exactly the same position as you!
I really want to like Ursula – she’s very cool, whilst has a quirky feminine vibe going on, but all I can think about is an evil purple sea witch.
Why oh why was I such a disney slave when young!?!
Ursula is really cool, I pronounce it UHR-suh-lah, and I really like Sula (SUE-lah) as a nickname. Ursula is a very spunky name to me, quite like Trixie. I don’t think I’d ever use it as a first, and my partner would never let me. I think I prefer Ursuline (I pr. it UHR-suh-line) instead, it seems softer and a bit more dignified.
I think it is UHR suh lah … like Lola says, not quite “Sue” in the middle.
Emmy Jo, I now have “poor unfortunate souls” running through my head. Yikes!
Having grown up watching “The Little Mermaid” (over and over and over) I’m having a hard time getting around the sea witch associations.
Meeting a lovely little girl named Ursula would probably help break this association — it does have a very pretty sound — but until I meet a real-life Ursula, she will remain the sea witch.
Sarah, I say it Ur-sue-la, with a very soft -sue sound in the middle. So sweet! I’ve mentioned before my Rssian cousins? You should hear them say Ursula, absolutely beautiful! Agnes sounds delightful in Russian, as well, for that matter.
I find Ursula soft, pretty and feminine but not frilly. I think about maybe a middle spot for her, I do have a cousin with the name. And would be completely enchanted to meet a little Ursula here in the States. Sweet, melodic, strong, feminine and unfussy. Absolutely perfect, Ursula is, for me! What a fantastic, stand apart name!
In spite of love for excessivly pretty girly names think I might like her – just a bit.
Shes grounded. Sensible. Not to fussy. Sure to stand out in classrooms full of frilly little Isabella’s and Ava’s whilst still retaining a feminitity. I like that about her.
For me she is lacking something though. She doesnt really have the free spirited hippy airy-ness I like. Too much like Agnes’s sister ie. unadventurous despite low popularity.
On someone elses child – definatly. For my own – I don’t think so. Plus ‘HE’ would NEVER go for it.
PS. Is she pronounced Ur-sha-la or Ur-sue-la or Ur-shue-la? I think I like Ur-shue-la the best. But it is still quite awkward to say.
[…] Ursula – Yes, she’s the scheming sea witch who makes a deal with the Little Mermaid.
[…] One you love but are afraid to use?

One of Sea Gem's most unique features is the aft cockpit (pictures can be found here and here). Like the name implies, this type of cockpit is located at the rear of the boat, which in our case, happens to be directly off the master stateroom. It is the boat equivalent of a balcony.
Recently, I've been feeling as though Eric and I aren't taking full advantage of the relaxing potential that living on a boat affords. So, in that vein, I decided to amp up the aft cockpit's comfort level and create a more usable space to lounge.
Unlike the outdoor rugs I recall from my youth (burlap-like and bland), this one actually looks and feels like a regular (indoor) rug. Will its colors hold up in the brutal Florida sun? Only time will tell. For now, it looks great.
Since making these minor upgrades, we've already been using the aft cockpit more than usual, and I anticipate many more mornings, afternoons, and evenings being spent sprawled out back.

It is important to hire an experienced Richmond, Texas criminal defense lawyer because criminal charges for kidnapping or a related offense do not have to result in a conviction and the resulting lifelong consequences. You may have been acting fully within your rights and could be eligible for a reduction or dismissal of your charges under the Texas Penal Code. In order to convict you, the state prosecutor must prove to a jury that you committed every element of the felony offense beyond a reasonable doubt. With an experienced trial lawyer defending you, this is a difficult burden to meet, and any reasonable doubt in the mind of any of the members of the jury can result in a not guilty verdict or a hung jury. Therefore, it is vital to contact an experienced criminal attorney in Richmond who will fight for you.

Say data breach and many people automatically think massive scale, global and relatively anonymous. Email addresses, usernames, passwords. It ain’t necessarily so. Sometimes breaches are small, local and very personal.
This month a former Leicester City Council worker pleaded guilty to stealing the personal information of over 300 adult social care service users. Nilesh Morar took sensitive personal data including medical conditions, details of care and financial details and records of debt. He set up his own business, presumably intending to exploit the stolen information.
He was prosecuted at Nuneaton Magistrates’ Court and fined £160, ordered to pay £364.08 prosecution costs and a £20 victim surcharge. The Information Commissioner’s Office has more of the detail.
The level of fine doesn’t seem a particular powerful deterrent. It’s more like a cheap-as-chips start-up cost for a new business. Also worrying is the casual ease with which Morar carried out his shocking breach. He emailed the information to himself while he was still at work.
If he had been less blatant and covered his tracks, even a bit, the theft might never have been discovered.
Data behind the story: Boom time for charity employment?

Call it dueling schooling or just call it a win-win. Whichever way our lawmakers decide to fund the state's long-postponed school construction needs, our kids and our society will reap big benefits.
The schools across the state, on every level, certainly could use the money. In Cumberland County K-12 schools, the needs are largely repair and maintenance, along with modernization of the older schools. However, Fayetteville State University plans a $58 million College of Education building, among other growth needs. And Fayetteville Technical Community College has more than $100 million in capital needs, including expansions of its health care, nursing and transportation programs and the construction of a new 60-acre campus on Old Raeford Road in western Fayetteville.
Other counties in this region have even more pressing needs, especially Robeson, where the K-12 system is desperately seeking ways to build new, more modern schools and UNC-Pembroke has ambitious growth plans to serve a rapidly expanding student population.

Perhaps you are visiting Australia from a foreign country and want to absorb as much of the country’s culture as you can when you are here. Maybe you are a native, but have never spent much time exploring Australia’s Aboriginal roots? Either way, our goal at Top End Day Tours is to let you experience Aboriginal culture in a unique and firsthand fashion.
Top End Day Tours offers explorations of Australia’s Aboriginal lands, also known as Arnhem Land. Our day tours are significant cultural experiences that allow visitors to see key sites throughout the Arnhem Land with their own eyes. We are one of the few touring companies offering this type of experience in Australia, and our combination of non-indigenous guides and native Aboriginal guides ensures that you learn as much about the Arnhem Land as possible.
It’s not difficult to see why Arnhem Land tours are popular among Aussie natives and foreign world travellers alike. Some experts say that the Aboriginal culture of Australia is the world’s single oldest surviving culture. Indeed, the Aboriginal culture dates back a jaw-dropping 60,000 years. A day tour of the Arnhem Land, then, is a trip through time—not just a millennium or two, but thousands of millennia.
Our tours of Arnhem Land include visits to numerous significant cultural sites, including showcases of ancient Aboriginal rock art. The tour will also offer remarkable photo opportunities, featuring any one of the Arnhem Land’s expansive and beautiful landscapes. Above all, the tour will take you away from the bustle of modern life and give you a chance to get back to nature in a fun and rejuvenating way.
Seeing the rock art of the Aborigines is certainly the primary draw of the Arnhem Land day tours that we offer at Top End Day Tours. The Aboriginal culture has never had a formal written language, but the people have for thousands of years recorded their history and customs on the sides of rocks and the walls of rock shelters. Much of this rock art survives to this day, depicting everything from deities and religious ceremonies to animals that no longer exist. In fact, some of the creatures featured in Aboriginal rock art paintings are estimated to have become extinct between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago now. To experience a tour of Arnhem Land, then, is to experience a world that many of us can hardly even imagine anymore.
Are you interested in learning more about the tours of the Arnhem Land that we offer at Top End Day Tours? If so, we encourage you to get in touch today. Our tours run six days a week (Monday through Saturday) and run throughout the dry season, from May to October. We are happy to provide more information about tour itineraries, recommended gear and more. Call us on (08) 8948 2200 to enquire about our Arnhem Land day tours now.

The amount of data generated today boggles the mind — U.S. companies alone produce 2.5 quintillion bytes daily, enough to fill ten thousand Libraries of Congress in a year — and much of it is of the time-series variety (i.e., data points indexed in time order). Given the sheer volume, it’s no wonder that only 12 percent of companies say they’re analyzing the data they have, according to Forrester Research.
That’s one of the reasons Paul Dix — who’s helped to build software for startups, large companies, and organizations like Microsoft, Google, McAfee, Thomson Reuters, and Air Force Space Command — founded Y Combinator- and Bloomberg Beta-backed InfluxData (formerly Errplane) in 2012. The San Francisco startup develops an open source time series platform, InfluxDB, that is optimized to handle metrics and events in DevOps, internet of things (IoT), and real-time analytics domains. And after a banner year that saw revenue double, InfluxDB 2.0 launch in alpha, and Flux — a functional language for both querying and processing data — debut in technical preview, the startup is gearing up for growth.
InfluxData today announced that this month it raised $60 million in series D lead by Norwest Venture Partners and joined by Sorenson Capital and existing investors Sapphire Ventures, Battery Ventures, Mayfield Fund, Trinity Ventures and Harmony Partners. The round brought the company’s total capital raised to $119.9 million, following a $16 million series B funding round in September 2016 and an $8.1 million series A round in December 2014. The former CEO of MongoDB, Max Schireson, has now joined InfluxData’s board of directors.
The influx of capital will be used to “support further investment of product innovation,” Dix said, with an increased focus on the cloud. And it’ll lay the groundwork for an expanded sales and marketing department, along with a renewed focus on specific uses of its technology, including industrial IoT and networking monitoring and industries such as ecommerce, gaming, and financial services.
InfluxDB has no external dependencies and provides an SQL-like language with built-in functions for querying data structures comprising measurements, series, and points. InfluxData says that InfluxDB can achieve millions of writes per second, all while clustering to eliminate single points of failure — in practice enabling things like monitoring, alerting, and notification applications supporting DevOps initiatives, real-time analytics apps, and IoT software that supports millions of events per second.
That’s different from traditional SQL databases, which can become overwhelmed with continuous queries.
InfluxDB is open source — more than 180,000 services currently use it — but commercial products in the form of InfluxCloud (a fully managed and hosted service offering) and InfluxEnterprise (software that can run on-premises or on any cloud provider) have been available for the better part of 18 months. InfluxData’s more than 450 paying customers include eBay, Twitter, Cisco, Siemens, IBM, and Pipeline.
News of the funding comes a week after Microsoft’s acquisition of Citus Data, which develops an extension to PostgreSQL that effectively transforms it into a distributed database. InfluxData also competes with startups like New York-based Timescale, which raised $15 million in January.

The government is tightening controls on Whitehall IT projects amid fears that its existing system of Gateway project reviews are proving inadequate.
As IT spending throughout central and local government and the health service increases, the Office of Government Commerce is re-evaluating the way it monitors the success of projects.
Its aim is to identify and head off problems in public sector IT projects at an early stage, before they turn into the IT disasters that have dominated newspaper headlines in the past 10 years.
But the changes are likely to fall short of demands from IT professionals and MPs for greater transparency in government IT projects. They may also disappoint critics who had been hoping that government departments would be far more open about the problems they face to Parliament.
In a significant shift in policy, it has emerged that the OGC is planning to put pressure on government departments to issue a formal response when their IT projects are given successive red warnings by Gateway reviewers.
The policy shift, disclosed by John Oughton, the newly-appointed chief executive of the OGC, is a step forward from the government's previous insistence that Gateway reviews should be seen purely as independent advice that departments are free to accept or ignore.
Oughton told the Commons Public Accounts Committee last month that the new policy would make it difficult for departments to proceed with projects in the future if they consistently received poor Gateway reviews.
"If a project gets consecutive reds, that automatically triggers a formal letter from the OGC chief executive to the departmental permanent secretary to make sure they are aware of that, and the reason why consecutive reds have occurred," Oughton said.
"This will force the principal accounting officer to make a formal response that they have investigated the situation and that the underlying causes of the consecutive reds have been addressed," he said.
"Our view is that if you have a problem where people are wilfully and knowingly driving through consecutive red traffic lights and eventually the project ends up [at the PAC], I suspect that you will have an absolute field day with the permanent secretary because that will be completely and utterly indefensible."
Oughton's comments came amid growing political pressure to reform the Gateway review system. MPs are concerned that the system is not transparent, and government departments are being less than candid with Parliament about the progress of major IT projects until it is too late.
Computer Weekly began campaigning for the government's IT project evaluation process to be reformed along US lines in January. It presented evidence to MPs calling for the UK to follow the example of the Clinger-Cohen Act by making government bodies more accountable for the success or failure of projects and forcing the public sector to be more transparent about them.
Vincent Cable, Liberal Democrat shadow chancellor and former chief economist of Shell UK, backed Computer Weekly's Shaking Up Government IT campaign by tabling an early day motion in February calling for greater openness in government IT projects.
More recently, members of the work and pensions select committee took up the cause, pressing government officials to publish their Gateway reviews. Archy Kirkwood, chairman of the committee, attacked the culture of secrecy in Whitehall that allowed civil servants and suppliers to hide behind the phrase "commercial confidentiality" to prevent disclosures about IT projects.
He warned government that unless departments were more forthcoming, ministers and senior civil servants would find themselves in court. It was unacceptable, he said, for Parliament to have to wait years for a National Audit Office report before MPs could learn why an IT project had failed.
"If Parliament does not start getting involved in a grown-up conversation in the next six months, we will end up with writs in court for motions of disclosure and you will be forced to do it," Kirkwood told top Department for Work and Pensions officials at a hearing on 1 March.
The government has staunchly resisted publication of Gateway reviews, arguing that unless they remained confidential, the reviewers would feel unable to make full and frank disclosures to departments.
At a subsequent meeting with members of the DWP select committee last month, minister for work and pensions Andrew Smith said he was in favour of "exploring mutually acceptable" ways of putting more performance information in the public domain. But he stopped short of accepting that Gateway reviews should be published.
"There are real issues around the frankness and candour on some of the assessments in Gateway reviews. There might be some inhibition if people thought it would all hang out in the public domain," he said.
The PAC has now picked up the arguments for reform and greater openness. During last month's session with Oughton and other government officials, it became clear that the PAC is starting to ask whether publication of Gateway reviews would be in the best interests of government.
Yet the OGC is adamant that, ultimately, the control of public sector IT projects must remain within the commissioning government department.
Oughton said the new controls he had introduced would be sufficient to discourage departments from pushing ahead with questionable IT projects, because of commercial or political pressures.
"The accountability has to rest with the department which is spending the money on procurement. And it is right that the accountability should rest with the officer there," he said.
"The whole point about the Gateway process is that in the very short, sharp intervention that the review team conducts, it is designed to give very clear advice to a programme managerÉ in a safe place with a degree of confidentiality, so that people can be honest about the challenges and difficulties with a programme. That has worked very well."
But Oughton accepted the government had not made sufficient progress in communicating best practice in IT projects across Whitehall.
The Gateway toolkit, developed to help government procurement officials make decisions based on best practice, has only been taken up by 45% of government departments so far.
"I think the OGC has done a terrific job in developing best practice guidance. The trick, of course, is turning that into an effective communications channel to departments so they can learn the lessons and embed that into behaviour. I suspect we have not been good at that," said Oughton.
Peter Gershon, former head of the Office of Government Commerce, has told Computer Weekly that Gateway reviews should not be published.
In an exclusive interview he said, "In my personal view they should not be published, because that would change the dynamics of the process. People would be reluctant to undertake reviews and would be against open audit. The reviews are for the benefit of management not for auditors."
Despite his opposition to the publication of Gateway reviews, Gershon, now head of the government's Efficiency Unit, has slated the low success rate of IT projects, citing the 16% success rate from Computer Weekly's report on the State of IT Project Management in the UK, and the 34% success rate in the US from a report by the Standish Group.

Karl Lenhart, an avid skier himself, was less than impressed by the quality and functionality of the ski poles of the time. Therefore, he used his own machine park to manufacture grips and baskets for skiing poles. These went into mass production in the 60s. On the other hand, Lenhart was familiar with aluminium and composite processing on account of his aircraft manufacturing experience. In 1970, he used these raw materials to produce his first ski poles to be sold under the LEKI brand, which stands for the owners and the company headquarters, i.e. Lenhart in Kirchheim. LEKI's products are developed and designed together in Kirchheim/Teck, Germany and Tachov, Czech Republic. Poles are manufactured following modern and environmentally friendly processes in LEKI's own production facility in the Czech Republic. Leki seeks to operate under one strategic mandate: To combine safety and comfort with attractive design. The permanent exchange with experts and professional athletes ensures a high experience value. In turn, this results in smart, well-designed products, which customers can consistently enjoy and rely upon for years.

Today, LEKI Lenhart GmbH is broadly recognised as the absolute world leader in pole and glove systems thanks to the consistent implementation of this philosophy.
The first catalog for the ISPO sports fair in early 1980 marked the beginning of the Alpina brand. The innovative new collection was small, but the faith in success as well as the enthusiasm of the founders Rainer Winter, Werner Grau, Rolf Obermeier and Hagen Stockklausner were infinitely large. It's all down to our ultra-modern styles, colours and designs, plus of course the reliably high quality of ALPINA products, which is of crucial importance to performance at this high level. In fact, with ALPINA the athletes can even have a direct input into product functions and further development. We recognise the importance of being close to the customer and responding to their needs. The fact that short distances are involved helps to make this possible: ALPINA products are developed and manufactured at the company's own production sites in Germany as well and it is easy to get feedback from the athletes and incorporate it quickly into product development. A lot happened in all the years. The company has steadily grown. Alpina is now the market leader in ski, sports eyewear and helmets. In Germany, Alpina maintains market shares of more than 40%, sells its products in over 35 countries and has established two subsidiaries in Austria and Switzerland.
During his travels in the early ‘90s, Icebreaker founder Jeremy Moon had a revelation. Rather than focus on creating the latest and greatest technical fabric for his clothing, he discovered that such a fabric was already available and could be found on a breed of animal living in New Zealand’s Southern Alps - merino wool. Merino was soft to the touch, comfortable against his skin, and easy to care for. He realized it offered the quick-drying, lightweight benefits of synthetic materials, coupled with the natural warmth, breathability, and odor-resistance of standard wool.
Since 1994, Icebreaker has been crafting this versatile fabric into hard-working technical clothes as well as sophisticated, high-performance urban apparel. Starting with underwear and base layers and expanding to mid and outer layers, Icebreaker outfits you for optimal four-season comfort. Whether you’re dressing for snow sports, hiking and backpacking, travel, running and fitness, or simply everyday activities, Icebreaker provides premium product for your active pursuits.

[8.8.10] More affies and listers added today. I plan on working on requests for the next couple of days so that I can get caught up.
[8.5.10] Added another guild layout and we were made 2 new buttons!
[8.4.10] I've added 3 new userlookups and 2 petpages.
[8.4.10] Hookah Premades was just made and we are looking for affies!
I make my layouts in firefox and thats what they look best in, although I do test in IE(even though I hate it). If you have any problems, comments or any of that stuff, just click the contact button and let me(Leannaxloser) know.
1. Can you make me a layout? Look right up there ^^ It either says 'requests are open' or 'requests are closed'. If they are closed, then just keep checking back to see whenever they open up again. If they are open, click on the requests link and follow the directions.
2. What programs do you use? I use photoshop most of the time, but sometimes it acts up and I use an online editor called pixlr(google it).
3. Why is the site called Hookah? Because I'm a cool kid.
So I'm Leanna. I'm 17 and I'm currently in my senior year of high school. I live in Florida even though I'm as pale as they come. I love making graphics, I'm hoping to get better. There are some amazing graphic makers on neopets and I'd like to be one of them some day. Until then, I'm taking requests in an attempt to improve. I'm extremely busy. I work, I have school and I'm addicted to neopets so that pretty much kills all my time.
1. Simplest rule ever. Don't steal my stuff. I work very hard on everything I make, and I'm nice enough to let you use it, so please don't claim it as yourself.
2. Don't reproduce my work. Don't put my layouts on a site of yours, even if you leave the credit. Just leave the link back to here.
3. Don't use my css for your layout No matter how much you change my codes, they are still mine. I make my codes look complicated for a reason, its harder for you to steal.
4. Don't take off my links. I don't overcrowd the layout with my name, I usually hide it pretty well, its not distracting to you and you don't need to take my name or link off the work that I've made.
5. Don't complain about anything I've made. I made it for you to use, and its probably better then what you can do, otherwise you wouldn't be asking me to do it for you. If you don't like something I've made, don't use it. Simple as that.
People I have to beat.
Other important stuff;; I will not put your name, guild name, or anything else on the layout I make. The layouts I make are for everyone to use. I put to much time and work into my layouts to make one specifically for every person that wants one. Other then that, you can pretty much request anything you'd like. Whatever type of layout your looking for, theme, color scheme, even the picture you'd like us to use.
Requesting is simple, just copy/paste the little box below this into a neomail and send it to me(Leannaxloser). The link to my neomail is under the 'contact' link. If the topic has an 'opt' next to it, then it is optional.
Buttons are linked to credit.
All graphics and css by me, Leannaxloser.
Images by neopets, edited by me.
All buttons are linked to their credit.
Blahblahblah What ever you want to put here. Blahblahblah.
Welcome message and such here.
Blahblahblah. Hope you can fill all this space up.
This is the big important one.
Blahblahblahblah. Info and such here. Blahbalhblah. Don't worry, it'l scroll once you fill it up.

None violates the honour of the scholars who are upon the truth, except one of three [people]: Either a hypocrite known for [his] hypocrisy, or an evil sinner who hates the scholars because they prevent him from his sinful [acts] of disobedience, or a misguided hizbi who hates the scholars because they neither agree with his hizbiyyah nor with his deviated views.
Which Solution does Ridiculous Naveed Ayaaz [Madeenah Dot Con/Islaam Nelson] desire for Us?!
Indeed Ahlus Sunnah are people who possess fear of Allaah. They neither make Takfeer, Tafseeq (i.e. declare a person a sinner) and Tabdee (declare a person an innovator) except against the one who deserves it based on the evidences in the Book and the Sunnah, and the understanding of the pious predecessors of this Ummah.
The people of desires and misguidance are (categorized into) those who are followed and those who follow; Indeed, those who are followed are the ones who set up the various principles of innovation and they call to their innovation and misguidance, and they will carry their burden of sins and the burden of the sins of those whom they misguided without knowledge, as it is clearly stated in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah.
Those who possess knowledge, but they harbour evil intentions; so they yield to Satan, desires and the urge of the evil soul. They follow the people of misguidance and oppose the callers to guidance (in that which) Allaah sent His Messenger Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) with.
Their share of knowledge is little, so the people of desires take advantage of them and they become (part) of their group. They convince them that what they call them to is the manifest truth and that what their opponents are upon is falsehood. And they convey to them a huge (number) of shubuhaat, in order to deceive them and submerge them into misguidance. As for those who are followed—those who set up the principles of bidah and call the people to their bidah and misguidance–then indeed they are attributed to the bidah they innovated and call the people to, and for them there is no honour.
As for the followers of the people of desires, it is as I have stated that they are of two categories in most cases. They are to be called to the Sunnah and to cling to it, and that they (should) reject the bidah they have been deceived by and have yielded to. And if they respond to the call of truth through knowledge and action, and reject that which the people of desires and innovation call them to, then this is what is desired and it is a praiseworthy aim. If they reject the advice of the advisers and bargain with falsehood at the expense of truth, and give preference to innovation over the Sunnah, then they deserve to be assigned the term innovator.
So we say to ridiculous Naveed: This is the solution! It is what we have established based on the verdicts of the scholars against the three figure heads of Bidah and Dalaalah [Halabi, Maghraawi, Maribi], and their staunch follower Abu Usaamah. As for those who are deceived by Masjid As-Sunnah’s admin, we will do our best to refer them to the students of knowledge whenever they seek clarification, and may Allaah free them from the deceptions of the dishonest hizbiyyoon. Aameen.
[الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ]—we neither established our stances based on the reckless methodology of the Hajaawirah nor the repugnant hizbiyyah of Ihyaa Turaath, Greenlane, Al-Maghrib Institute, Suhaib Hasan and their associates; rather we only followed the verdicts of the scholars of Ahlul Athar- founded upon the knowledge based proofs against Ma’ribi, Halabi, Maghraawi and their staunch follower Abu Usaamah.
Therefore, neither should Naveed turn a blind eye to the facts nor expect us to follow his false assumptions and desires. Neither can the solution be based on the desires and false assumptions of those who are ignorant of the precise methodology of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah in dealing with the innovators and their staunch followers, nor can it be based on the solutions of those who attack the people of Salafiyyah and do not differentiate between the upright-knowledge based stances of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah from the corrupt, deceitful and false stances of the Mu-mayyi-een.
Note: We do not declare anyone an innovator or a Kaafir, except those whom our scholars have declared to kuffaar or innovators.
This article is not a definitive compilation of all the statements of praise on Shaykh Rabee, but has been compiled in order to dispel the lies and deceptions of those who revile Shaykh Rabee bin Haadi Al Madkhalee. Some people say that Shaykh Rabee is not respected by the Scholars or that he is not held in high regard, or even that he has been warned against!
Well to them we say; read this article, Fear Allah and rectify your tongues. The article is not comprised of my statements or statements of fulaan or fulaan, rather in this article are a handful of statements from the major scholars past (may Allah have mercy on them) and present (may Allah preserve them) concerning the status of the Shaykh – and we do not praise anyone over the praise of Allah. Verily Ahlul ilm know the status and rank of ahlul ilm.
Questioner: A rumor has appeared and it is being carried by some people with sick hearts, claiming falsely that you have spoken ill of Sheikh Rabee in a lesson from one of your lessons. And we dont believe that they want by this except to set the Scholars in opposition against one another. So what is your statement concerning this? And what is your instruction to these people? Therefore we would like to take a tape and spread it to clarify their falsehood.
“Sheikh Rabee is from those who are busy with knowledge during this time period, and he has efforts which are good and tremendous in working with the Sunnah. And also he has authored works, so he has authored works which are good and tremendous and beneficial.And I do not criticize him, nor do I warn from him, and I say he is from those Scholars whom are well grounded and if he is busy with knowledge you find in him many benefits.
Therefore I consider Sheikh Rabee to be from the Scholars, those whom should be listened to, and from those Scholars whose benefit is great.
What is your advice concerning the one who forbids the cassettes of Shaikh Rabee’ bin Haadee [from being distributed] with the claim that they cause fitnah and that they contain praise of the Wullaat ul-Umoor of the Kingdom, and that his praise of them emanates from nifaaq (hypocrisy)?
We consider this to be a great error and mistake. Shaikh Rabee’ is from the Ulamaa of the Sunnah, and from the people of goodness. His aqidah is sound and his manhaj is strong and sound. However, when he began to speak about some of the symbolic figureheads of some of the people, from amongst the latecomers they began to tarnish him with these faults. Do you know [this] now?
So I will mention when we went to the Noble Scholar Sheikh Abdullah Ghudayyan, may Allah preserve him.
So we entered upon him in his office and we gave him the greetings, so he stood and shook Sheikh Rabees hand, gave us the greetings, and sat us down with him.
So he began to speak with Sheikh Rabee with delight and gentle, polite humor.
Then the talk was surrounding the minhaj, so Sheikh Rabee said, We warn from mistakes in the minhaj that oppose the book and the Sunnah and oppose the minhaj of the Salafi Salih that some of the callers fall into, so that the people will not be deceived by them.
So Sheikh Ghudayyan said, I am with you in this oh Sheikh Rabee.
And before Sheikh Rabee sought permission to leave, Sheikh Ghudayyan requested some of Sheikh Rabees recent books so he could look at them, so Sheikh Rabee promised to send this to him.
“No doubt, this is oppression and a wrongful form of aggression. We do not know of any contradictions to the Sharee’ah by Shaykh Rabee’. And we do not of any of the well-known scholars to warn against (him).
I read and I hear in some sittings a campaing slandering the noble scholar as-Shaikh Rabee’ ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee and warnings against him, in addition to taking from him (knowledge), and that he is not from Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah, which made me become confused in my affair (of seeking knowledge). So what is the ruling upon this, please clarify? Jazakumullaahu Khair.
There is no doubt that he (Shaikh Rabee’) is from the people of knowledge, and he is from the students of our Shaykh, Shaykh Abdul ‘Azeez (Ibn Baaz) (when they were) in Madinah, and he (Shaykh Rabee’) used to be from the teachers of Madinah (Islamic) University. I do not know any deviations of him neither in Aqeedah nor in Akhlaaq (mannerism), rather my perception of him that he is good and that he is from the people of goodness, as well as being from those who battle the callers to fitnah.
Second matter: Ash-Shaykh Rabee’ bin Haadee Al Madkhalee is from the people of knowledge and what an excellent man! …..
…Rather, if they presented this matter to Shaykh Rabee’ it would become apparent to them, that he does not intend this dangerous path and dispelling methodology, rather the intent is those lenient ones, the warners and those who say: we facilitate all the people from all walks of life and each one of us acts upon what he believes and we excuse whatever others believe! No, the matter is not like that as well. It is obligatory that the truth be dominant upon various people and their ways and it is Allaah whose help we seek.
How long have you known sheikh Rabee?
…by Allaah I would not have believed it if all the people told me for my experience of knowing Rabee while even as a student and until now I have not known him ever to lie.
Is Sheikh Rabee from the Kibaar al Ulamaa?
Who is in this time similar to him? He knows the reality of most of the callers. Who is like him? He knows with proof and evidence. He doesn’t speak about anyone except with the proof. That is why I say about Rabee Haadee is similar to Yahyah ibn Ma’een in this time. You must forgive me son I have become old I forget, now I am 90 years. Shiekh Ibn Baz rahimahullaah is the Umar ibn AbdulAziz in this era. And sheikh Nasrud Deen al Albaani rahimahullaah is the Ibn Taymiyyah of this era. and Sheikh Uthaimeen rahimahullaah is the Shaf’ee of this era. By Allaah, the most knowledgeable of our scholars in this time ibn Uthaimeen rahimahullaah and the most generous is Sheikh AbdulAziz ibn Baz rahimahullaah, And the most knowledgeable of those differences between people and knowing the truth is Sheikh al Albaani rahimahullaah, and the most knowledgeable ones of Rijaal (men) with proof and evidence is Sheikh Rabee Haadee May Allaah protect him. And May Allaah protect his intellect.
When sheikh al Albaani rahimahullaah showed the errors of Sayid Qutb and Abdullah Dawaish rahimahullaah no one moved but when Sheikh Rabee may Allaah be pleased with him, showed the misguidance of Sayid Qutb and he clarified it from his (Sayid Qutb’s) books and his situation in the past, the world was against Rabee. He said it with openness and evidence.
So may Allaah reward him and make him firm and may Allaah keep him alive to remove those who wear the clothes of salafiyyah in order to fight it. We ask Allaah to show their state and clarify them and keep their evil away from us.
Shaykh bin Baz leter to Shaykh Rabee asking him to refute an individual who made taweel of Allah’s attribute and to clarify the truth to the Muslims.
Regarding the speech of the one-called Nazih Hammad on the Noble Qur’an Radio [program].
His respectfulness, the Noble Brother, the Esteemed Shaykh, Dr. Rabee’ bin Haadee al-Madkhali, may Allaah grant him safety, Ameen.
After giving salutations, the Shaykh mentioned that he was informed by Dr. Muhammad bin Sa’ad ash-Shuway’ir of Shaykh Rabee’s hearing of the speech of the one called Nazih Hammad which was broadcast on the Noble Qur’an Radio [program] on 12/6/1415H between 7am and 8am and that he spoke about the Ta’weel of the attributes of al-hayaa and al-ghadab.

A person (call him 'Joe') using an anonymous proxy will give that computer his real IP address, and from that point on, the IP address known to the rest of the Internet is the one assigned to the proxy computer, not Joe. All requests from Joe now go through the proxy before going to your website. All website material also goes back to the proxy before being sent back to Joe. The proxy can be located anywhere in the world.
An AnonymousProxy service allows for greater privacy on the internet, and is marketed chiefly at the more rabid species of CryptoNaut. All users of an anonymous proxy service share the same IP address (or address range).
While they allow for PlausibleDeniability, they typically fall to law enforcement in due course. In many countries such services are now required to keep logs and make them available to police. Even for the short lived anonymous proxies, governments that want to attack the use of anonymous proxies can simply create a PhonyFlood of HoneyPots (e.g. ). That is, just like the war on drugs, if the government is the main supplier, the government has a good chance of finding the users.
Many sites (including WikiPedia) block all anonymous proxy services as they discover about them, since anonymous proxies are often used in EditWars.
Anonymous proxies break down into a wider taxonomy, that can be described by how a few key HTTP header fields are munged. Note they cannot be reliably detected based on headers, as you will see.
Transparent proxies are simply proxies that do not hide the originator's address. Legitimate ones exist simply to help people speed up their Internet connections or to skirt firewalls and filters. An OpenProxy, however, may be a compromised machine.
These proxies announce loudly that they are hiding the user's address, perhaps because they are poorly designed, or perhaps as a form of CivilDisobedience? to inform webservers that people will not stand to have their privacy invaded. They simply replace your IP with their own. They identify themselves clearly by claiming they are a proxy acting on their own behalf (i.e. supplying their own IP).
Again, these proxies make it clear that they are proxies, but they pretend to be transparent proxies by supplying an IP other than their own. These are rather insidious because they are difficult to distinguish from transparent proxies.
These proxies pretend to be a person by making a separate connection with its own HTTP headers, without supplying proxy headers. These are perhaps the easiest to write for simple applications, as it just requires channeling data from one connection to another. They are also not detectable from headers.
Aside from an OpenProxy, many commercial providers offer anonymizing services through CGI-based forms. While any of the above types of proxies can be channeled through CGI, it serves to mention CGI-based proxies separately since they are frequently used by novice attackers and vandals. These commercial proxies are easy to use since they require little technical knowledge except for the fact that they exist and the ability to use Google to find them, and similarly it is easy to ban them since there are so few. A naive list of regexes for popular CGI-based proxies is available from the local BanList. Unfortunately, it is harder to automatically detect non-commercial "underground" CGI proxies. Unlike an OpenProxy they do not have an simple and standard MachineInterface to access them.

You missed a great (rest of the) time last night! Had quite a nice shot of rain and the new deck roof started dripping an everything.
I regretted leaving actually. We'll have to talk B & B into having another event.
