According to the FBI, "eco-terrorism", or "ecotage", is now the number one domestic terrorism threat in the US, greater than that of rightwing extremists, anti-abortion groups and animal rights organisations, and on a par with al-Qaida. The US building industry, rightwing political groups and the mainstream media all leapt to condemn the ELF after the arson. "We've seen this grow over the years and it's very scary," said Brian Minnich of the Building Industry Association of Washington, which offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the arsonists. "It tends to be done by young, intelligent people," says FBI special agent Robbie Burroughs. "There is nothing to suggest that [the Street of Dreams arson attack] is anything else than terrorism." But the j

Eye ScareIt is already Thursday and I thought this week went by really fast. Its Friday tomorrow and that is a reason to celebrate.I was severely upset yesterday for not making it to open. My mom insisted that I stay home after the eye incident. Here was what happen. My lens had been giving me challenges for the past few days and I thought it was the usual dry eyes problem. This started on Monday and fortunately for me, Vivi who was sitting next to me during workshop has eye drops so that saved my afternoon. The problem reoccured on Tuesday and when I took off my lens after work, both my eyes were irritated and turned REALLY RED. It also felt hot. I kept washing it and in the end I decided to sleep early to let my eyes rest.So Wednesday came and the SAME problem occur. This time, my eyes w

This pregnancy was a total surprise. And ironically we had just issued a no-sex-policy in our bedroom (or in any other place, you dirty mind) two weeks ago because we thought three is a perfect number of children in our family, and I wasn't taking the pill yet. Our youngest one will start Kindergarten on the fall and we have already been dreaming of dropping kids at school on the morning and just spending time just two of us - like skiing together. We were really looking forward of the fall, and kids being older. Then we found out I was pregnant. Tears in my husbands eyes, he was so happy.Our kids giving me fifty more hugs a day, and writing down name suggestions for the baby (like Miley, Bologna, Zit and Zack). Dreaming of the baby.Thinking which new car we need to buy.Dreaming of nursery

One of the most oft-heard accusations of non-Christians against evangelism is that Christians are basically just using hell to scare many into becoming Christians. Is there justification for such an accusation, and do Christians really seek to scare non-Christians with hell? I’m going to say an emphatic “no”. Think about it this way: Christians know, from the Bible [...]

Mumbai:- In an article published in one of the leading newspapers in India, "The Times of India", as per a non-governmental organisation "Greenpeace", Mumbai, India's financial hub would be under water by 2100! Not only Mumbai, some other major cities would face the dreadful effects of Global Warming too. This would happen due to the rise in temperatures by 4-5 degrees. This in turn would imply that approximately 50 million Indians would be left homeless and become "climate migrants".Greenpeace envisages that human migration 92 years hence would be equivalent to 10 times the movement seen during the India-Pakistan partition.Inspite of all these studies and the results popping out of these on a regular basis, we still have some ignorant people who call Global warming a "hoax"... get a life!

Talk about coming back from the brink of defeat, Serena showed her championship mettle to overcome Flavia Pennetta 6-7, 6-3, 6-2. I could only watch the "point tracker" online and it was the must uncomfortable feeling. Serena was leading like 5-2 or 5-3 in the 1st Set. I started cooking dinner and the next thing I knew, a 1st set tie-break was in progress. I was shocked beyond belief. I guess Serena went "walk-about." To make matters worse, Pennetta was leading 3-0 in the 2nd Set. I was like "Serena, we can't lose you in the 3rd Round, get it together." Serena then strung together 6 straight games to claim the 2nd set. Both Serena and Flavia traded breaks numerous times throughout this 3 set battle (4 breaks for Flavia and 8 breaks for Serena) but Serena pulled through. Serena hit 11 ACES

Lumps detected in women at a high risk of breast cancer using hi-tech MRI scans overwhelmingly turn out to be false alarms, a Dutch study suggests.

After i’ve posted tips on how to improve your website, now it’s the time to find out what should you be careful at. There definitely are some things that can ruin your work and make your readers leave. Look and design Take care what design or theme do you use, because it may scare the readers or it may be a hard job for them to find out what are they interested in. Don’t place too many animated gifs, weird images and unpleasant font. Also, don’t fulfill your website with ads, but try to blend them and place fewer, not to disturb the visitors. Content I will not talk about the quality of the content, because that definitely has to be high, but the formatting. Don’t post blocks of text, 3 pages long, because the readers will get bored.

Some time ago I started on a quest to find out the facts about mortality experience of children with type 1 diabetes. The issue I had initially run into was that insurance companies simply would not offer life insurance to children with type 1 diabetes, almost across the board. A few said they would consider it as a highly rated policy if they were over age 15 or over age 19, but most just said no thanks. I enlisted the expertise of Mike McFarland with Prudential to help me understand why insurance companies were so freaked out by this age group with this problem. I was thinking that surely 1 in every 5 must die before age 20 or there would be at least some high priced product for them. Mr McFarland clued me in that the problem wasn’t the death rate at all, it was the lack of statistics on which to base rates. Insurance companies use mortality tables that go from 0-100, not 0-20, 20-40, etc. They simply didn’t know what mortality experience they would be looking at, making

Today I’m going to tell you what I think of the Swedish health care nowadays. A sad subject unfortunately. I’ll give you some examples (of many!) from around my own social sphere, so this is completely true. Considering the fact that Sweden is supposed to be such a high educated and wealthy country (not any longer), interested and concerned about health care, it’s unbelievable how our public health care system has grown to become so bad functioning, not efficient and none caring. Especially since we tax payers are paying so much tax: about 32% of our salaries in tax, depending on how high income we have and where we live. If you have a high income, you’re even paying more than 32% in tax. The whole Swedish health care system is built up for the public. There isn’t enough private hospitals or private doctors as an alternative as you may see in other countries. With minor sickness we’re ordered to go to the district health care center, which nowadays

Nearly every day I turn on the news and find the depressing media reporting the terrible condition of the real estate market. What they fail to report is the degree to, and which markets are experiencing these conditions. Take Panama City Beach Florida for example...We are a tourist and popular vacation home location. Our crystal blue waters, white sandy beaches and family friendly atmosphere has and continues to make us a popular area for purhcasing second and vacation homes. People from all over the world, contact me to purchase real estate in my area. I continue to receive phone calls and emails from customers who realize prices will not remain as they are in the Panama City Florida Area for long!Condo sales increased last month over the previous month and prices haven't been this affordable in years.However, a word of caution to sellers. It is still a buyers market. If you've bought property at the height of property prices (2003-2005) and are planning on selling to make a huge p

By Janice Revell, Money Magazine senior writer If you're saving for a retirement decades away, Thursday's big drop in the stock market shouldn't worry you too much.But something did happen this week that you can't afford to ignore: the Federal Reserve's rate cut.The Fed's actions could very well be ushering in a new era of inflation - and that is horrible news for your retirement portfolio.When you save for retirement, you're saving for a lifetime supply of food, shelter and golf fees. Over time, the prices for these things only go one way: up.The risk is that the value of the investments you're now stockpiling to pay for them may not increase at the same pace - leaving you with only enough money to pay for nine holes' worth of green fees.With its rate cut this week, the Fed has made it clear that staving off recession is more important than reining in inflation.But while the typical recession has lasted 18 months on average (not including the Great Depression), inflation can

All bloggers are scary welcome :-) It doesn’t necessary have to be a Halloween scare - like mine isn’t, because we haven’t been celebrating Halloween for long here in Sweden. The Burglar Scare This happened when I was a teenager in the seventies and still lived with my parents in an apartment in the suburbs of Stockholm. My elder siblings had already moved away from home. An early morning I’m sitting there at the kitchen table all alone, only my Mom was at home and she was still sleeping. I had made my breakfast ready before going to school. The breakfast was on the table already: a big cup of Tea and six (!) ready sandwiches on a long row at the side of the cup. Suddenly I heard a barely audible noise at the front door. The strange thing was that I hadn’t heard any noise in the common hallway before that, so natura

Donald H. GoldWhen the stock market notched its most recent follow-through day, Aug. 29, many people simply didn't trust the message. Buy stocks? At a time like this?But the market's message with that follow-through was clear. And investors must get past the headlines. Whether the world's woes are real or imagined, stocks often take off in what seems the worst of times.Look back at Aug. 29. What was happening?The market was still reeling from the subprime-mortgage fiasco. Some huge mortgage companies were either shutting their doors or coming close to it. Shares of rock-solid investment bankers with exposure to that mess -- Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS - News) and Bear Stearns (NYSE:BSC - News), for instance -- were getting hammered. No one knew how much the fallout would spread to the economy.Iraq was still a mess. Politicians were falling over each other to propose timetables for U.S. troop withdrawals.Iran is intent on building a nuclear program and seems delighted to thumb its nose

In honor of this month's Write-Away Contest I'm tackling things that scare me--and there are a few items on the list that get me mocked from time to time around here but whoever said neuroses are logical?1. Potty training. Parenthood itself doesn't worry me or scare but tell me that I've got to get my a two year-old to sleep dry through the night and I'm quivering in the corner.2. Driving on narrow two-lane highways. This sounds silly and it's not as if we're talking full-blown phobia here but so many car accidents happen on two-lane highways that I get nervous whenever I drive down to Girdwood or Seward. There's always some hotshot in a truck scaring everyone and every year there are deaths--enough that I'm careful and cautious while enjoying the scenery. I still remember the story years back when a Toyota Forerunner went off the road and into the inlet and the father driving couldn't rescue his child out of the car seat before the icy waters got them. Never found the

Now this may sound crazy but I have always known stuffed toys and gadgets to be accessories to help kids and adults sleep better. But with this newly introduced electronic Panda robot, I think it would be more out of fear or worst, make kids not sleep at all! So it is a high-tech gadget. But for anyone, design and comfort will always be important. Looking at this panda, a supposed stuff toy to scare kids to sleep? They will be most likely terrified to sleep than to sleep soundly. I think modifications are in order for this one.
