BT Broadband - Staff Selling Customer Details?
Over the past few days I have had a few run-ins with BT call centre staff. Shortly after one heated call to an Indian gentleman (which is usual for me & call centre staff) I had an Indian lady call me back about my broadband problem. She asked me to go into 'event manager' to look for errors...then tried to get me to access a website www.windowsonlinelab.com (do not go to that website, it downloads a program that allows remote access). Luckily enough I had no connection to attempt accessing it. I only realised it wasn't a genuine BT call when they spoke of my routers' green light (there is no green light). Do you think my information was passed on to scammers by BT?

Save & Release Lennox
This sweet dog committed no crime and never harmed a single living soul. The only reason for his seizure by the dog wardens in Belfast was that he looked similar to a Pit Bull, a breed banned under the Dangerous Dog Act (DDA). He was seized after being measured by a seamstress' tape measure on May 19, 2010, where he has remained in the "secret kennels" used to hide these dogs until families can battle through the court system to try to get them back. He has had no contact with his family throughout this entire time.

Mummy Brown
Mummy brown was a rich brown bituminous pigment, intermediate in tint between burnt umber and raw umber, which was one of the favorite colors of the Pre-Raphaelites.
Mummy brown was originally made in the 16th and 17th centuries from white pitch, myrrh, and the ground-up remains of Egyptian mummies, both human and feline, one London colourman claiming that he could satisfy the demands of his customers for twenty years from one Egyptian mummy. It fell from popularity in the early 19th century when its composition became generally known to artists. It was also considered extremely variable in its composition and quality, and since it contained ammonia and particles of fat, was likely to affect other colours with which it was used.
Mummy brown was produced up into the 20th century until the supply of available mummies was exhausted. via and

Samuel Allsopp’s Arctic Ale Circa 1852
Sold for: $503,300
Year: 2007
If this story teaches you anything, let it be that you must pay attention to detail, lest you pay a dear price for a mistake. That’s what happened to the man that first put this bottle of Samuel Allsopp’s Artic Ale up for auction on eBay. The Artic Ale was brewed specifically for Sir Edward Belcher’s 1852 Artic Expedition. It was sealed and kept in pristine quality with a handwritten note that explained the history of the bottle and brew. The original seller misspelled the name of the name of the brewer, only threw up three accompanying images, and wound up selling the bottle for a measly $304 to another eBay seller. The buyer turned around and re-listed the Ale with more images and a correct title, and sold it for $503,300.
