Discover Seattle! / Dearest in Christ
« on: Apr 02 07 02:52 »
So, I've noticed over the past year or so a change in the phishing emails I've been getting.
Many of them now seem to focus on God, and being a good Christian.
Just curious whether anyone else has noticed the same thing, and what you think it means.
An example, this just popped in my box a few minutes ago. I'll just include the first and last para because the rest pretty much goes as expected...
Dearest in Christ,
It is with Heavy Heart I am reaching you regarding the death of my late
client. I am BARRISTER Mike Douglas, the legal adviser to late MR. MIKE
& CAROL HALL, A very Wealthy Couple that lived here in the United
Kingdom, before their Death on the 26th of December 2004 during the
Tsunami disaster. These couple served God as very dedicated Christians,
they so dedicated their life to God but they had no child till they
died. They acquired a lot of landed properties like lands, Stocks/Bond,
house properties, etc.
*chop*
And my favorite part...
Dear child of Zion, if you
know that you will use this fund honestly and wisely for things that
will glorify God's name, then do contact me with the above mentioned
information via my home email (MDouglas@Deacons.com) Your Prompt
response will be highly appreciated.

Discover Seattle! / How to make a difference
« on: Feb 16 07 11:21 »
So, a while back I heard about the concept of "micro-loans" as a way to help people in developing countries start businesses without just giving handouts.
The Kiva organization has been on PBS, CNN and elsewhere. It's really blown up. Here is how they describe their efforts...
Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
And that's the great thing. You aren't donating to a charity. You're loaning money to people who have dreams of running a successful business. Believe it or not, the loan default rate is very low. The potential recipients are vetted to make sure they have a solid business plan and aren't scammers. It's all described on the site so I won't go into too much detail. Just thought you guys might like to know about this. It's a very personal way (you can see the pics and business plans) to make a difference in the world without just handing money over to a giant organization and hoping that it does some good.

Discover Seattle! / A furry death in the family
« on: Feb 13 07 02:51 »
My father's cat died.
I grew up with the little furry beast and it makes me sad.
She was around 18 years old.
I know, starting a thread about it seems silly, but I wanted her to have a little memorial or something. I'm at work but I will post her pic when I get a chance.
Her name was Kimiko but her friends called her Kimi.
When she was a kitten my dad accidentaly slammed her little head in a door and she was a bit freaky after that. You had to move just a little bit slow around her or she might run off. As she became an old and elegant lady she calmed down and was much more easy going.
She used to drool sometimes when people petted her.
She was my friend *sniffle*

Discover Seattle! / Hey Orik, what's the deal??
« on: Dec 11 06 08:14 »
Hi there, Orik. I just noticed that someone on DV is using your handle to spam tons of links that show a woman's breasts. The poster is claiming the breasts belong to another poster (I won't mention the name). Either they don't, and it's some sort of weird head game, or they do and it's a warped revenge tactic.
Anyway, I thought you should know that some nutcase is using your handle and making a fool of himself.

Berkeley council passes impeachment resolution
Carolyn Jones, Chronicle Staff Writer
Wednesday, June 28, 2006
With overwhelming support from Berkeley residents, the Berkeley City Council unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday night to be the first jurisdiction in the United States to let the public vote for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
The measure will appear on the Nov. 7 ballot, at a cost of about $10,000.
Among those who urged the council to approve the initiative were peace activists Cindy Sheehan and Daniel Ellsberg, as well as 500 Berkeley residents who sent supportive e-mails to City Hall. Only three residents said they were against the idea.
The council agreed to drop a provision that would have set up a task force of Berkeley residents to monitor the President and Vice President.
