Bed Bug Trapper
The Bed Bug Trapper is a patent pending device that attracts Bed Bugs into a moat like device using carbon dioxide (same as when we breathe out). Once they get into the trap, they are unable to escape. The device is placed under the legs of beds, couches or love seats to protect you and your loved ones from having bed bugs crawl up into the furniture on onto you. In the same way, if they are in the furniture, they will be attracted to the Bed Bug Trapper, crawl down the furniture and end up trapped.
This is a completely green product. Everything is recyclable, non-toxic, minimal carbon footprint. This is very important to us.
This device acts like a sentry (guard) as well as a trap. It acts as a guard in that if you put these under each of your bed legs, you shouldn't get any bed bugs coming into your bed. If they are attracted or are in your furniture, they should be attracted to the trap and be caught.
Website will be http://www.bedbugtrapper.com
This affects everyone - rich or poor. This will be mainly distributed online to begin.
Females 20-40 target. This will appeal to all demographics, single apartment dwellers, college students, mothers who want to protect their children and family.
Males - similar target though they may take longer to make a purchase than females or will need more prodding.
Again, green product. Those concerned about chemicals in their house can use this and feel safe and secure.
A little bit about bed bugs: Soon to be an epidemic across the globe. They have been found recently in dorms, apartments, homes, stores, even the occasional hotel. They are tiny (largest about 1/4"), reproduce fast, and drink blood from us to survive (lovely aren't they). It has nothing to do with the cleanliness of a place. They just like us warmblooded creatures.

Logo with name should Invoke a little fear along with a strong sense of safety.
Ideas: Looking for your creativeness. It could include a bed bug trapped, as a prisoner, bug in scope...
Maybe you don't have any bug shown, it's just a strong looking logo.
Logo will be used for website, packaging, and print.
Packaging will be in only 3 colors so logo will need to be able to accomodate that.
Versions needed: .eps, .tiff, .jpg

Two things can happen to a hungry man- he can starve or he can eat. This, too, is our choice. A place where hunger is married to fullness is where we can now reside."

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation on Thursday to protect reporters from being forced to reveal confidential sources, with exceptions in national security and other cases.
The Free Flow of Information Act, which had bipartisan support, was passed by the panel in a 13-5 vote and sent to the full Senate for consideration.
"This legislation ensures that the tough investigative journalism that holds government accountable will be able to thrive," Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat who sponsored the bill with South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, said in a statement.
Although many states have media shield laws, efforts to pass a federal one have foundered, usually over national security concerns.
President Barack Obama called on Schumer to reintroduce a version of a bill proposed in 2009 that did not pass and told the Justice Department to develop guidelines to protect journalists.
The reintroduction of the bill came shortly after news that the Justice Department, while probing a leak of classified information, had secretly seized records of phone calls made by Associated Press reporters.
The bill sets out rules for subpoenas and would require prosecutors to convince a judge that the information sought from journalists would prevent or mitigate terrorism or harm national security.
Journalists would have no privilege to withhold information in cases where divulging it would prevent or mitigate death, kidnapping and bodily harm.
They also could not withhold information when it was obtained by observing or carrying out a crime, except for leaking.
The bill would apply to employees or agents of organizations that disseminate news through broadcasts or in print, including through internet sites or mobile apps.
It also covers people with a substantial track record of freelance reporting, student journalists and those who had worked for media organizations. The bill allows judges to extend protection to others who may not be covered by the other standards.
The bill protects journalists and their employers from having to reveal information, including the identity of sources, that a reporter gets under a promise of confidentiality and while gathering news.

MILWAUKEE – Gone swiftly and, let's be honest, dismissed for all practical purposes weeks ago as they settled into the unenviable No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks might have done a major solid for the rest of the NBA's playoff teams.
They put the red meat of a series sweep in front of the defending champions, and the Heat pounced like Dobermans on a Milwaukee kielbasa.
Another micro-goal accomplished, within the macro-framework of a second consecutive championship. Maybe that makes it easier for the next guys to eke out a victory or two.
"That was our next big step, seeing how we can continue to improve," LeBron James said after Miami dispatched the Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Game 4, 88-77. It was the closest of the four – the margins were 23, 12, 13 and 11 – though it wasn't really close at all. The Bucks never led Sunday and, even when they missed repeated shots in the third quarter that could have tied or put them in front, it was as if a "Why bother?" alarm went off in their heads as they released the ball. At some point, James and the Heat were going to stand on the gas, asserting their No. 1 seed superiority in all its glory.
"It's so hard to win on the road in the playoffs, in someone's building, especially when someone's playing for their last life," the NBA's presumptive 2013 Most Valuable Player said after hanging 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists on the Bucks, while buying Dwyane Wade's bruised right knee another day off.
"It's a big step for us to close this out. It's the first time, I guess, in the 'Big 3' era we've had a sweep. So as a team, we like what we was able to accomplish in this series, Now we sit around, wait around to see who our next opponent is."
Boy, do they. The soonest Miami could play again would be Saturday and that's if the Brooklyn Nets-Chicago Bulls series cooperates swiftly. The flip side of finally sweeping – after two five-game series in 2012 and three in 2011 – is that the Heat will have at least five days before they play along.
It is the longest layoff of this group's three postseasons. A year ago, they had three, three and two days between series. In 2011, it was three, three and four.
Anything you read or hear about the dangers of dreaded rust in the coming days likely will be overblown and media-driven. Seriously, would you rather have time off to prepare, refresh and lock in or would you prefer to rush immediately into your next best-of-seven? Still, there is a practical side to navigating the between-series days that makes it at least the little brother of navigating the challenges of the series themselves.
"The biggest focus for us will be keeping ourselves physically ready," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "That's probably the most abnormal thing of the circumstances. You're used to playing every 48 hours or so, that's the NBA rhythm when you get into the playoffs. Mentally, I'm not as concerned about our guys gritting their teeth. It's too far ahead.
"We don't even know how long this time will be but we have to make sure we strike a balance between our conditioning, staying fit, working at our game, getting after it with pads in practice, and always making sure guys are healthy and we're not doing too much."
For starters, the Heat planned to take Monday and Tuesday off. After that, depending on the Nets-Bulls series, they'll start aiming for a second round that starts over the weekend. Or into next week.
"Nothing can replicate the edge of a playoff series," forward Shane Battier said. "You can practice for four hours but it's not like a playoff series. You still have to get up and down, you still have to bang, you still have to keep the mojo going someway."
Never mind any macho appeal of flexing in full and sweeping a postseason opponent. The fewer games a team can play en route to a title, the less its players are exposed to the sort of mishaps and shutdowns we're already seeing. Sure, Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook got hurt in Game 2 against Houston and Derrick Rose went down in Chicago's playoff opener last year. But bad stuff can happen in Games 5, 6 or 7, too, and if that's the result of poor concentration and letting a lesser opponent hang around, then it becomes ripe for second-guessing.
"Injuries are part of it," Battier said. "They seem to get more freakish every year. So yeah, of course we would like to end series more quickly so we can rest up a little bit and prevent ourselves from unnecessary injuries. But you can't play this game with kid gloves on."
There's no shame, he said, in ducking "pivotal" or even "ultimate" games late in a best-of-seven series by pounding someone four straight. "It's hard enough to win one playoff game," Battier said. "The amount of preparation and energy and focus and everything that goes into winning one playoff game – I don't care if it's at home or on the road – takes a lot."
Hmm. So following the logic and self-preservation aspects of it, rather than implying anything cocky or bombastic, might the Miami Heat – winners of 27 in a row in the regular season – have their eyes on 16 in a row in the playoffs? Or as Moses Malone might say, fo', fo', fo' fo'?
"Oh Lord," Battier said. "I'm going to go home, enjoy my kids for a few days and then get ready for a physical, physical battle against the Nets or the Bulls. That's not even on our minds."
But James didn't entirely reject the concept. He just didn't quite fully engage it.
"I think 16 is automatic [as a motivator]," he said. "Sixteen in a row, I'm not even going to look at that. For me, 16 is the ultimate goal. But No. 5 is what we want to get next. That would be Game 1 of the next round.
"So that's the way we'll approach it. We'll take each step as its own and hopefully, if we're fortunate enough, we can continue to climb the ladder."
Yeah, but in as few rungs as possible.

Gerald Simcoe spent many hours painting in his Pennsylvania German bank barn, where he derived inspiration from the surrounding countryside. Now he and his paint brushes have moved to Sanibel, where he is inspired by the island's natural beauty.
"The wildlife, the plant life and the friendly people are all an inspiration," Simcoe said. "I will wait for the local environment to suggest to me what to paint instead of projecting myself onto it, and be led by the magic of the island for inspiration."
Simcoe found Sanibel through his cousin, Mary Lou Lanaux a real estate agent in Atlanta. She and her husband have vacationed on Sanibel for the past 25 years. A year ago Lanaux's husband fell ill and Simcoe helped steady him last July. During the week-long visit to Sanibel, Simcoe fell in love with entire environment.

Gerald Simcoe at his new parallel gallery Simcoe on Sanibel, located within the Village Shops
"My mom and I looked at houses to see the local environs with Susan J. McCallion of Pfeiffer Realty, who made it happen," said Simcoe. "From that moment I decided to sell my NYC studio and buy one on Sanibel."
The new gallery, located within the Village Shops along Periwinkle Way, is appropriately called Simcoe on Sanibel. As an established artist his gallery successfully showcased his work for 25 years. His reputation as a painter in oils and other media has steadily grown over the years.
Simcoe's work can be described as Baroque Realism in the footsteps of the Great Masters. "Light on form in space" is a dogma of his, along with the classical canons.
"I adhere to Webster's definition of 'to abstract to brig out,'" said Simcoe. "In other words, to make a flat, two-dimensional surface appear three-dimensional, and atmosphere is always important."
Although he has stayed on basically the same path throughout his career, Simcoe said he likes to push the envelope as far as subject matter and color are concerned. Each subject dictates the style in which it's painted, he points out.
"I am first and foremost an oil painter, which means when I paint I use only the brush and do not draw on the canvas first," said Simcoe. "I paint as directly as possible to the finish called 'alla prima.'"
In addition to his painting, Simcoe enjoys gardening and is an accomplished musician. He feels those two things bring an appreciation for the life force moving through everything to his artwork.
"In gardening, it is something different to paint a flower purchased at a store and painting one which I've grown," he explained. "Music is a challenge as it is even more abstract than painting, but everything should be painted with music moving through it."
Simcoe's studio on Sanibel is at 2340 Periwinkle Way, Suite R1, in the Village Shops opposite Janet Stickland's office. The gallery is open for private viewing by arrangement, call 472-3400 for an appointment. The studio accepts portraiture assignments and other special commissions.

(HealthDay News) -- Baby's first dental visit is very important, even if there is only one tooth.
The American Dental Association explains what should happen at your child's first visit with the dentist:
- A careful examination to look for any injuries, cavities or any other problems with your child's mouth or teeth.
- An evaluation of your child's risk for tooth decay.
- A thorough cleaning of your child's teeth, and suggestions on how to care for teeth daily.
- A discussion of your child's use of pacifiers or thumb-sucking, as well as teething.
- A plan for any needed treatments.

KISAH Jaka Tarub DAN TUJUH MALAIKAT (Bahasa Inggris)
Once upon a time there was a widow who lived in the village of Dadapan. She had a son whose name was Jaka Tarub. Dadapan village was close to a wood so Jaka Tarub liked to go to the wood. He liked hunting for animals with his blowpipe.
One day when he was in the wood he saw a beautiful rainbow and he saw seven angels went down through it. He came closer and searched for them. The seven angels were swimming and taking a bath in a lake. Jaka Tarub looked at them while hiding behind trees. When they had finished taking a bath, they flew through the rainbow to heaven.
The next day he saw the same thing again. This time Jaka Tarub had an idea. He searched for their dress and when he found them he took one of them. As they had finished swimming and taking a bath, they looked for their dress. One of them could not find her dress. Her friends had to come back to heaven so they left her. She was crying while staying in the water. Jaka Tarub approached her.
+ 'Why are you crying lady?
- 'I lose my dress so I cannot go home'
+ 'Where is your home?'
- 'I live in heaven. I'm an angel. My name is Nawang Wulan. But I lose my dress so I cannot fly anymore'
+ 'I you don't mind I will take my mother's dress for you'
- 'OK, please do'
+ 'Wait for me here, I'll be back'
Then Jaka Tarub went home to take her mother's dress and gave it to Nawang Wulan. He asked her to stay at her house with his mother. Not long after that Jaka Tarub married Nawang Wulan.
As an angel Nawang Wulan had spiritual power. She had ability which far above human being. She could cook rice with just a bar of rice and when it had done the bowl will be full of rice. But there was one condition. The bowl must not be opened before it has done. Jaka Tarub was very surprised with her wife's ability. He was very curious about it. So when Nawang Wulan was away he opened the bowl. Consequently Nawang's spiritual power disappeared. She had to cook as ordinary human being.
Several months later Nawang Wulan gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name was Nawang Sih. The birth of Nawang Sih added happiness to Jaka Tarub and Nawang Wulan.
Since Nawang Wulan could not cook efficiently anymore, she needed more rice than usual. The stock of rice in their store room diminished rapidly. Then one day when she took rice there she was very surprised. Nawang Wulan found her angel dress. It was hidden there under piles of rice. She immediately wore it and talked to Jaka Tarub.
'My dear husband, now I know what you did to me'
'Forgive me, my dear. I admit that I did this because I love you'
'I love you too. But now I find my dress. I must come back to heaven. I am an angel. My place is not here. I have to go now'.
'How about Nawang Sih? She needs you''I will leave her but don't worry. I will take care of her. Anytime she needs me I will be here. For that purpose please build a tower. When Nawang Sih cries put her there then call my name. I will come immediately. But I will be invisible to you. Good bye dear'
Then Jaka Tarub built a tower behind his house. Every time Nawang Sih cried he would put her there. Nawang Wulan would come and take care of Nawang Sih.

Elections in Iran suggest a setback for conservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Friday's elections were for the powerful clerical body, the Assembly of Experts, along with local government.
On a turnout of 60%,( and just because BBC says so we should believe it) the big winners seem to be moderate conservatives, while reformists have made a comeback after three poor election showings. ( I am also quite curious to know the definition for moderate conservative and non moderate conservative, somebody enlighten me please. If Rafsanjani is a Moderate Conservative I don't know what to call the rest of them)
Moderate former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani sealed a landslide win for a seat on the Assembly of Experts.
Presidential pressure
With most of the results for local elections announced throughout the country, the president's allies have failed to win control of any council.
With about 20% of the Tehran votes counted, Mr Ahmadinejad's supporters were said to be in a minority. Candidates supporting moderate conservative Mayor Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf were ahead.
Not a single candidate supporting the president won a seat on councils in the key cities of Shiraz, Rasht or Bandar Abbas.
The president's supporters have also failed to main significant gains on the Assembly of Experts, which can dismiss the supreme leader.
BBC Iran affairs analyst Sadeq Saba says the message is loud and clear and is likely to increase pressure on President Ahmadinejad to change his policies.
Reformists hailed the early results. The Islamic Iran Participation Front said: "It is a big 'no' to the government's authoritarian and inefficient methods."
The biggest winner, our correspondent says, is Mr Rafsanjani, who was defeated by Mr Ahmadinejad in the 2005 presidential elections.
A conservative cleric close to Mr Ahmadinejad, Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, came only sixth in the Assembly of Experts poll.
The overall turnout was about 10 percentage points up on the 2002 local elections.
I am not surprised to hear such reports since BBC has always been the mouthpiece for the Regime and a tool used by them to legitimize IRI!!!!!
I find this picture to be amazing, not so much because I enjoy seeing Ahmadinejahds picture being burnt, but because I am so thrilled to see we have such courageous activists who can do something like this in Iran, where their very lives will be endangered. Seeing things like this makes me believe even more that the change will be coming from within, and that the student movement will be a very powerful source of this change.
Mansour Osanlou: Protest against the re-arrest of Iranian bus union leader0 comments - published on Thursday, December 14, 2006
Mansour Osanloo, the president of the Tehran bus workers' union who was released in August 2006 after 8 months in detention, was re-arrested on 19th November by Iranian security officials.Osanloo was with two colleagues on his way to the Ministry of Labour in Tehran when he was approached by plain clothes security agents, who told him he was under arrest. When Osanloo asked for a warrant he was beaten, threated with a gun and forced into a car.The ITF, the ITUC and others in the international trade union movement have written protesting against this latest arrest
For those who are interested ITF suggests that the following letter be sent out in support of Mr. Osanlou. http://www.itfglobal.org/solidarity/Osanloo.cfm
I personally do not agree with sending any appeals to IRI officials becasue that serves to legitimze them. I would recommand writing to human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch and asking them to support Mr. Osanlou.
UPDATE: Sherko Jihani (m), journalist and human rights defender0 comments - published on Thursday, December 14, 2006
Iranian Kurdish journalist and human rights defender Sherko Jihani, was allowed to briefly telephone his mother and his wife on 13 December. He apparently sounded very weak, and was not able to tell them anything about his whereabouts. He is at risk of torture or ill-treatment.
His family had reportedly received a phone call on 12 December from a man who claimed to be a member of the Mahabad branch intelligence services, and told them that Sherko Jihani had died of a heart attack after falling into a coma.
He may have been detained for his peaceful activities in defence of the rights of Iran's Kurdish minority, in which case Amnesty International would consider him a prisoner of conscience.
Sherko Jihani was detained on 27 November in the town of Mahabad, in the north-western province of Kurdistan. He began a hunger strike in protest on 30 November, and on 4 December he began refusing to speak.
LONDON, December 14 (IranMania) -
Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed that Iran would make further progress in its nuclear programme despite the objections of world powers, AFP reported.
"In the nuclear energy issue, international powers insisted that Iran should not achieve this advanced technology, but Iranians unanimously insisted on obtaining this right and as a result reached a very advanced level. (I have no doubt that a lot of Iranians would want to have this advanced technology, I think our major problem is that we do not want this crazy, unstable dictatorial Regime to have access to it, because not only would that endanger Iran and Iranians but the international community as a whole).
"Of course, this is not the end of the way, and the Iranian nation will make more progress in this regard," Khamanei said, without specifying what this would involve, state television reported.
Iran has been locked in a standoff with Western countries over its controversial nuclear programme, which they fear could be diverted towards making nuclear weapons.
The five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany appear to be nearing an agreement on a resolution that would impose sanctions on Iran for defying international calls to freeze uranium enrichment.
Enrichment lies at the centre of dispute over Iran's nuclear programme as the process can be used to make atomic weapons as well as nuclear fuel.
Iran vehemently denies charges it is seeking nuclear weapons, insisting it only wants to enrich uranium for peaceful energy ends. ( There is absoloutly nothing peaceful about the IRI and there is no reason to believe this perticular activity would be peaceful, espeically with all the support IRI gives to numerous terrorist groups around the world).
Iran currently has two cascades of 164 centrifuges for uranium enrichment in a plant in central Iran but plans to install 3,000 centrifuges by March.
Sherko Jihani (m), Fear of Torture and ill treatment76 comments - published on Thursday, December 14, 2006
Sherko Jihani (m), journalist and human rights defender
Iranian Kurdish journalist and human rights defender, Sherko Jihani, was detained on 27 November 2006 in the town of Mahabad in Kurdistan province, northwestern Iran. He is held incommunicado at an undisclosed location where he is at risk of torture or ill-treatment. He may be detained on account of his peaceful activities on behalf of the rights of Iran's Kurdish minority, in which case Amnesty International would consider him a prisoner of conscience.
Sherko Jihani, the correspondent of the Turkish news agency Euphrat in Mahabad and a member of the Human Rights Organization of Kurdistan (HROK), was reportedly summoned to appear before Branch 2 of the Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office in Mahabad on 27 November and was immediately arrested and detained in Mahabad Central Prison. He was reportedly interrogated about forming an investigative committee to object to the kidnapping on 8 January 2006 of a woman human rights activist, Sarveh Komkar (Kamkar), and for giving interviews to foreign stations about the July 2005 killing by Iranian security forces of Kurdish activist, Showan (Shivan) Qaderi. His family was reportedly able to visit him on or around 4 December 2006. Sherko Jihani reportedly refused to pay a 50 million Rials bail (about US$ 5,500) and began a hunger strike in protest at his detention on 30 November. On 4 December, he began refusing to speak.
On 6 December, Sherko Jihani was removed from Mahabad Prison and was taken to an unknown location, possibly Oromieh prison. His family has since been unable to visit him or to confirm his whereabouts.
Sherko Jihani has reportedly been arrested nine times since 1999 and is said to have been tortured while in detention.
Greeting Cards for Human Rights Day (Dec 10th)2 comments - published on Saturday, December 09, 2006
As I had mentioned in my previous posts tomorow (Dec 10th) is human rights day. This is a great opportunity for all of us to remember those who have lost their freedom for the cause of human rights, freedom and democracy. Amnesty International has organized a Writeathon and there is ample opportunity to write directly to prisoners of conciense as well as their family members to show your solidarity and support. I will post some of these cases and I hope we can all put aside a few minutes of our day tomorow and write. There was unfortunately only one Iranian case on their website (Naser Zarafshan) but I did contact them and they said we could also write to the two prominent student activists Ahmad Batebi and Kianoush Sanjari.
I will post each case individually withe the appropriate address and writing tips during the day.

The nine men named above remain at risk of imminent execution. A further three members of Iran's Arab minority, Abdul Husain Haribi, Husain Maramazi and Husain Asakreh, have also since reportedly been sentenced to death in connection with involvement in bomb explosions.
On 13 November, an Iranian local television station, Khuzestan TV, broadcast a documentary which included the "confessions" of 10 men: Abdullah Suleymani, Abdulreza Sanawati Zergani, Qasem Salamat, Mohammad Jaab Pour, Abdulamir Farjallah Jaab, Alireza Asakreh, Majed Alboghubaish, Khalaf Derhab Khudayrawi, Malek Banitamim, and a tenth man, named as Ali Motairi Nejad. The 10 men had been sentenced to death in connection with involvement in bomb explosions which took place in major cities in Khuzestan Province in 2005. Amnesty International believes this man to be Ali Matouri Zadeh, who was arrested along with his pregnant wife on 28 February 2006 (see UA 107/06, MDE 13/042/2006, 28 April 2006 and follow up). In the programme, the 10 people, said to be members of a group named Al-e Naser, (a little-known Iranian Arab militant group that is not known to have been active since the time of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s) "confessed" to their involvement in the bomb explosions.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that the men may be executed in their home towns and villages in Khuzestan province.
Following a one-day closed trial at a Revolutionary Court in Shadegan in Khuzestan province on 16 November 2006, Abdul Husain Haribi, Husain Maramazi and Husain Asakreh were reportedly sentenced to death, accused of bombing oil pipelines in Khuzestan. Amnesty International does not have any further details about their case.
Much of Iran's Arab community lives in the province of Khuzestan, which borders Iraq. The province is strategically important because it is the site of much of Iran's oil reserves, but the Arab population does not feel it has benefited as much from the oil revenue as the Persian population. Historically, the Arab community has been marginalised and discriminated against. Tension has mounted among the Arab population since April 2005, after it was alleged that the government planned to disperse the country's Arab population or to force them to relinquish their Arab identity. Hundreds were arrested and there have been reports of torture. Following bomb explosions in Ahvaz City in June and October 2005, which killed at least 14 people, and explosions at oil installations in September and October, the cycle of violence intensified, with hundreds people reportedly arrested. Further bombings on 24 January 2006, in which at least six people were killed, were followed by further mass arrests. Two men, Mehdi Nawaseri and Ali Awdeh Afrawi, were executed in public on 2 March after they were convicted of involvement in the October bombings. Their executions followed unfair trials before a Revolutionary Court during which they are believed to have been denied access to lawyers, and their "confessions", along with those of seven other men, were broadcast on television. At least 13 other Iranian Arabs are also reportedly under sentence of death, accused of involvement in the bombings, distributing material against the state, having contact with dissident organizations operating abroad, and endangering state security. Amnesty International recognizes the right and responsibility of governments to bring to justice those suspected of criminal offences, but is unconditionally opposed to the death penalty as the ultimate violation of the right to life. Please see Iran: Death Sentences appeal case – 11 Iranian Arab men facing death sentences, AI Index MDE 13/051/2006, May 2006).
Student Day in Iran ( In Honor and Memory of our Brave Students)1 comments - published on Wednesday, December 06, 2006
Today about 2000 students gathered in Tehran University to commomorade the Students Day as well as to protest against the Islamic Regime.
Our students have worked long and hard risking everything they have including their lives to bring about change in Iran. Unfortunately when speaking with most Iranians abroad I find that we have become cynical to the degree where most of us have absoloutely no faith in our students and their movement. I find this to be a huge shame, especially because the student movement is alive and very strong and will not back down. I think its a shame when most of our focus is on countries such as US and people like George Bush and how they will save us from the IRI.
The reality is if we do not scratch our own backs nobody will scratch it for us, and while international support is extremely important, why not also focus on the strong movement going on inside Iran and figure out how to help the student movement which I strongly believe can and will be the ultimate vehicle of change in Iran.
In any event this message is in solidarity with the student movement and every single individual that is trying to bring freedom and democracy to Iran.
Long Live the Student Movement
There are two ways to live:
1. Accept and allow things to remain the way they are
2. Take responsibility and change them
My last post may have seemed a bit harsh, and it was not because this individual was afraid of IRI, I know many people are and for good reason. What makes me really angry is the fact that this person and many others hide behind this fear and use it as an excuse for their silence. There are many ways to help without making ones identity known to the IRI.
Writing letters to the Canadian Government, contacting different human right agencies and voicing ones concern, covering ones head and face while attending demonstrations and writing under an alias name are just a few ways of helping the students in Iran without getting in contact or being found out by the IRI.
So lets stop the excuses!!

Story highlights
- Camp romances are a classic pop culture trope, and they can be very real
- Couples who meet at camp sometimes choose to go back to get married or engaged there
- "You never know where camp will lead you," says one camp owner
(CNN)American adolescents and summer camp go together like bug juice and s'mores.
For many young adults, the occasion marks a golden opportunity for co-ed camaraderie in the mess hall or even a stolen kiss in the woods.
As the last of the sleepaway campers begrudgingly say their goodbyes to bunkmates this month, it's worth remembering that some campers and counselors keep the campfire flames burning much longer with summer flings that become lifetime commitments.
A first -- and last -- kiss
"I always went to camp kicking and screaming," Alex Spitz said of her early teenage years at Camp JCA Shalom in Malibu, California.
That is, until a blond boy named Eric showed up to camp one summer.
"And then I never wanted to leave," she laughs.
For two summers, Alex shared laughs and awkward slow dances with Eric, who "always had this smile on his face, and his eyes twinkled."
But -- if "Grease" taught anything about those summer nights -- as camp ended, so did their teenage romance.
Fast-forward to 2006, when Alex signed up for the social networking site MySpace and one blast-from-the-past name popped into her mind: Eric Spitz.
They both were in relationships at the time, but exchanged a few friendly messages.
A year later, with both of them newly and conveniently single, Eric wrote Alex saying he would be in Los Angeles for his brother's wedding and asked if she would like to meet for a drink.
Drinks turned into dinner, which five days later turned into plans to move cross-country -- Eric packed up two months later.
In 2008, when the topic of marriage crept up, they knew the only venue that would suit: Camp JCA Shalom. Alex phoned the director, knowing it wasn't a typical wedding venue. The only date the camp had free amid busy summer sessions was May 31, 2009.
"We'll take it," she said.
They had a date and a venue, but no formal engagement, which came shortly after.
"I look back and am like 'We were crazy!' but it never felt like that," she says.
The two married, surrounded by 150 friends and family, and shared a slightly less awkward slow dance right where it all started.
Eric and Alex, now 34 and 33, live in Orange County with their two sons, who are already attending family weekend at the same camp where their parents met.
Eric jokes Alex was his first -- and now last -- kiss.
When a wrong room turns out right
As an avid skier during her adolescence, Justine Spence opted to attend a special off-season ski camp, World Mogul Camp, in Whistler, British Columbia.
Instead of cabins, campers were put up in hotel rooms at a ski resort for their two-week summer sessions.
As campers were getting settled in, Justine wanted to surprise a friend she had met on the competitive ski circuit and asked for her room number at the front desk.
"I ran in the room and yelled 'MEGAN!' -- then quickly realized it was not Megan," she says.
Instead, she found "a very cute boy with green eyes and a nice smile," who introduced himself as Steele Spence.
It was a scene right out of a teen romance novel.
Don't miss out on the conversation we're having at CNN Living. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest stories and tell us what's influencing your life.
"The second that I met him, it was like a bolt of lightning," she says.
The pair hung out all through the summer, and continued to rekindle their relationship each summer, even when Steele became a counselor.
"He would get his hand slapped for making out with me, because I was a camper!" Justine says.
Ski camp turned out to be a good investment for a few reasons -- Steele went on to compete worldwide, in the X Games, and has since retired and been instrumental in creating judging criteria for slopestyle skiing, which made its Olympic debut in Sochi, Russia, in February.
The couple will have been married four years this month and their relationship shows no signs of going downhill.
A perfect rainy day activity
Beigette Gill arrived at Portland International Jetport in Maine from her native Australia in 2002 with nothing but a backpack full of clothes. When a fellow camp counselor named Jim picked her up at the airport, little did she know she had met her life mate.
During the off-season, the two began dating. As their second summer working together approached, Jim organized a marriage proposal during a camp assembly with plenty of whitewater-related puns about never knowing what's around the bend. Beigette's answer: "Yes!"
But, they decided, why wait? So they made plans to get married that summer as well.
When Beigette and Jim showed up at town hall to make arrangements, the town clerk asked if she could do the ceremony with people who knew them, to ensure it wasn't just a ploy to get a green card for Beigette. The couple thought of Camp Fernwood's director, not to mention the 300 campers who had witnessed their proposal earlier that summer.
Meanwhile, the camp director was trying to come up with a "rainy day activity" when the perfect backup plan walked in the door -- Jim and Beigette.
The whole camp pitched in on the big day of July 18, 2003. One of the counselors let Beigette borrow a white dress, the senior campers straightened her hair and did her makeup, a camper played Pachelbel's "Canon in D" on the piano, the camp's chef made a multi-tiered wedding cake, and the silversmithing department even made rings for the couple. The clerk showed up and performed the ceremony in the camp's main hall.
Getting married at camp ensured the ceremony was simple, with little pomp, circumstance and fretting beforehand.
"There was no fighting over the color of the place napkins," Jim Gill says.
The couple has since purchased a camp nearby, Fernwood Cove, where they live year-round with their son, Perrin, 4½, and daughter Sylvie, 6½.
The Gills have experienced adversity as well, with Beigette suffering a traumatic spinal cord injury during a family bike trip after camp season in 2011. Support and encouragement from family members and Fernwood Cove campers have helped Beigette along her road to recovery.
And to think it all started when an American camp counselor gave his Aussie colleague a ride from the airport.
"You never know where camp will lead you," Jim says.

Prosecutors have added five more counts against an Ohio man suspected in more than 100 telephone bomb threats made to courthouses and other public buildings in five states.
Prosecutors have added five more counts against an Ohio man suspected in more than 100 telephone bomb threats made to courthouses and other public buildings in five states.
The FBI arrested 39-year-old Lonny Bristow, of Mansfield, last week on one bomb threat count and said Wednesday that prosecutors added five more.
The additional counts were detailed in a court filing, which usually signals a pending plea deal. Bristow's public defender didn't immediately comment on the new counts.
Bristow was arrested in the investigation of bomb threats made in November and December to courthouses and public buildings in Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee and Mississippi, the FBI said.
The FBI said it traced numerous bomb threats to prepaid phone cards purchased at a Wal-Mart store in Upper Sandusky, about 40 miles west of Mansfield.
Bristow made at least 10 threatening calls Nov. 2 to Nebraska, at least nine on Nov. 15 to Washington, at least 30 on Nov. 19 to Oregon, at least 32 on Nov. 27 to Tennessee, at least 30 on Dec. 12 to Mississippi and at least 17 on Dec. 17 to Mississippi, the filing said.
No explosives were found.
The Mansfield News Journal reported last week that since 1993, Bristow filed at least 137 lawsuits, targeting law enforcement personnel, judges, media outlets and others. In 1997, he was labeled a "vexatious litigator."
Bristow also was the first inmate in Ohio to have his mail privileges revoked, the newspaper reported. He received a 13-year prison sentence for theft, retaliation, aiding an escape, harassment by an inmate and telephone harassment.

My favorite part of the story was when the kittens were being born because it was a very exciting and happy moment.
I thought that the illustrations were quite interesting although it was a chapter book so it didn't have color.
It is part of the Animal Ark series. It is similar to the other books in the series because it's about animals.
I recommend this cute book because it is the most exciting thing I ever heard.

Locked out: metal recycling curbed at dump
City-run facility now closed to unsupervised salvagers
The city's metal pit, the portion of the landfill on Dump Road where scrap metal waste is buried, has long been a money pit for those willing to haul-out its treasure trove of recyclable – and often valuable - materials. Copper wire, stainless steel machine parts and regular old scrap iron could be had for the price of sweat, and for years a number of area residents have made a living or supplemented their incomes by salvaging metals others have thrown away and then reselling the materials to recyclers in Anchorage or sometimes even sending barges to Seattle off the floating dock.
Since last summer, the old open-door policy that allowed large-scale recycling of scrap metal from the city-owned landfill has been slowly slammed shut – and some recyclers like Kenneth Bottcher are hot under the collar.
"I just can't stand to see the waste," Bottcher said. "Our country is under enough financial distress."
Bottcher says he has receipts for $13,000 he received for salvaged metals from the old Three Bears building, which is a welcome subsidy to his fixed income.
"That's just from one building in town," he said.
City officials are apologetic but firm in enforcing the policy, which it claims is necessary to keep the landfill in compliance with state and federal regulations.
City manager John Hozey said the city has included funding for a temporary position at the bailer for next year that could allow for a resumption in salvaging by the public. Options such as segregating metals is also being considered.
Lori Aldrich, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's solid waste contact for the City of Valdez, said ADEC has not forced the city to stop allowing the public into the pit for recycling purposes, but it is enforcing laws governing salvage operations at landfills.
"We're not requiring them to shut down salvaging," Aldrich said in a telephonic interview Tuesday morning. "They (the city) made the decision."
The root of the problem lies in the fact that the former city policy that allowed the public to freely access the metal pit and remove recyclables or salvage usable goods at the landfill does not comply with state regulations, as the city does use the landfill for burying asbestos.
Among other requirements, salvagers must be supervised or remove recyclables from city property before the materials hit the landfill.
"It's not possible for someone to salvage in that area without causing a hazard," Aldrich said.
She also apologized for the situation and acknowledged the fact that numerous people rely on the recyclables for income.
"It's like making us have a babysitter, which I don't appreciate," Bottcher said, likening the regulations to New York City's ban on allowing consumers to by sodas larger than 16 ounces. "Unelected people are making us miserable."
Bottcher said he is not trying to be a troublemaker, but he hates to see the waste that results from valuable recyclables getting buried in a landfill when it once contributed to the city's economy.
"They should be packing that stuff up separately," he said. "The city itself is just wasting on Biblical proportions."

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Breach Security at JFK International Airport
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian went through a brief travel disruption Tuesday at New York's JFK International Airport. Apparently, they breached TSA security, although the couple weren't the blame.
According to TMZ, Kimye were returning from Brazil and rushing to catch a connecting flight from New York to Los Angeles. Once the duo landed at JFK, they met an airline greeter, who, according to TSA officials, allowed them to skip a security checkpoint so they could catch their connecting flight.
However, security protocol dictates that every passenger must go through the TSA checkpoint at the airport -- even celebrities. Somehow, the greeter forgot about this important rule.
After Kimye were seated on the plane, TSA agents pulled them off the flight and made them go through another round of security, which had to be embarrassing and frustrating for them.
The parents-to-be were eventually cleared to board, but held up the flight from New York to L.A. for about 50 minutes. Which probably didn't sit well with the other passengers onboard. We can probably guess that Kimye received a lot of laser-beamed stares when they got back to their seats.
A rep for American Airlines told TMZ that Kanye and Kim weren't to blame and they are taking full responsibility for the mishap. "This was a lapse in judgment by one of our employees," said the rep. "We're working closely with the TSA and speaking to the individuals involved to better understand what happened."
In others words, heads are going to roll over this incident.
In the end, Kanye and Kim made it safely to Los Angeles where they were greeted by hordes of paparazzi. Judging by the photos (courtesy of Just Jared), it looks like the couple weren't too inconvenienced.
But after their fun-filled vacation in Brazil, a little security checkpoint is not going to phase these two lovebirds.

Spy Motion Detectors
The motion detector is an indispensable part of any home security system, but if you're looking for a detector that's virtually unnoticeable, HomeSecurityStore.com has you covered. We offer a wide selection of spy motion detectors, some of which are smaller than a standard golf ball and are designed to blend seamlessly within a wall. Just explore the full array of options, and find exactly what you need to create the ultimate covert home security experience.
The Ultimate in Home Security
Spy motion detectors are extremely compact, and the most sophisticated models use passive infrared (PIR) technology, capable of operating day or night. They can be designed to work with a specific home alarm system, surveillance system or home automation system, and—in many cases—can be programmed to automatically activate lights or other appliances when you enter a room.
Cutting-Edge Motion Detection Technologies
Some spy motion detector devices are equipped with a small hidden camera that only activates when movement is detected. They might look like standard motion detectors, but they stand light years above the typical motion detection technology. There are even spy motion detectors housed within clocks, radios and smoke alarms, which are designed to activate a spy camera upon the detection of movement. Furthermore, some spy motion detectors function as standalone devices which work off of battery power and sound an alarm in the event of movement. These kinds of spy detectors can be used in backpacks and laptop cases, for instance.
More than Motion Detection
Spy motion detectors are extremely useful for catching intruders in the act, but they also have other important security applications. For instance, you can use them to discreetly monitor your nanny, cable installer, employees or even children. Click on any product to review a detailed breakdown of the specifications, and feel free to contact our tech support team if you have any questions.
Find the Best Spy Motion Detectors
HomeSecurityStore.com carries the most sophisticated spy motion detectors on the market, and we offer the kinds of incredible deals that you just won't find anywhere else. Whether for your security, CCTV or automation system, you can revolutionize your configuration with a strategically placed spy detector. Order now, and we'll ship in as little as one business day.
