Sideshow 1:4 The Terminator Premium Format Figure (23.5 inches)
Limited Edition item - Only 1500 available!
From product. The The Terminator Premium Format Figure is an outstanding representation of the villainous Skynet cyborg, a stunning addition to any display.
Product Backstory
One of the most iconic characters ever envisioned, The Terminator was brought to life on the big screen through the artistry and imagination of James Cameron and Stan Winston. They faced a particular difficult challenge with casting the central character, the T-800. The actor needed to have physical presence and somehow convey true menace and purpose while remaining robotic and stoic. They found perfection with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the famed bodybuilder and actor. Schwarzenegger pulled it off beautifully, and The Terminator became one of film's most formidable villains, a near-unstopable behemoth.
Please note: We are receiving a very small re-stock shipment of this figure - pre-ordering is essential to secure this item!

Safely Remove Warts on Your Face
Warts on Face
Do you have a wart on your face? Having a wart in such a visible place as your face, can be extremely embarrassing. Fortunately, there are many effective methods that can be used to safely remove a wart from your face. It’s important that you know what causes facial warts before you begin the removal process. Warts are caused by a virus known as the human papillomavirus, or HPV for short. Being a virus, warts are indeed contagious. You should never share a towel with a person who has warts on their hands. Warts can grow just about anywhere on the skin. While it’s known that the human papillomavirus has many variations, is still not known what causes the human papillomavirus.
Typically, the type of warts people get on their face are called flat warts. Flat warts mostly grow in clusters and are, as the name implies, flat in appearance, and pink or pinkish in color. Flat warts are easily irritated by shaving, making warts on face more common in men. Women however, often get flat warts on their legs. Since HPV is a virus a humans immune system will often fight off the virus that causes warts. But in the case of facial warts most people don’t want to wait for that to happen.
There are many common wart removal methods available to be used at home. However, not every method will work for every person. Because everyone has a different immune system, as well as being different in general. Most pharmaceutically produced, over the counter wart removal compounds are effective on most people. Of course a dermatologist will most always be able to remove a wart from your face.
One of the most common methods to remove warts on face is, salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is the active ingredient in the over-the-counter wart removal medication called Compound W. Compound W. is a very safe and effective method to remove facial warts, and many other types of warts as well. Unfortunately, it can also take 2 to 3 weeks for the facial warts to clear up. Usually the best results are achieved with compound W. if it’s applied immediately after taking a bath or shower, as this is when your skin has softened up and the salicylic acid is better able to penetrate the wart.
Home remedies to used to remove a wart from your face include many different methods. Some of these methods might sound a little suspicious in nature, but many people claim to have successfully removed them by using these methods. One of the most odd sounding methods involves the use of waterproof adhesive tape, or even duct tape. Start by placing several small pieces of waterproof adhesive tape over the wart and leaving the wart covered for a period of 6 to 7 days. After that length of time, remove the tape and then allow the wart to breath in the open air for 12 hours. If the wart isn’t removed completely the first time, repeat the process. It commonly takes more than one time covering the wart with the tape to remove the wart.
Freezing a wart off by using liquid nitrogen is another very effective method to remove a wart on your face. However the risk of scarring is greater using liquid nitrogen for wart removal than other methods, plus is typically a method performed by a dermatologist in his office, therefore can be more expensive. One of the most effective natural methods for wart removal is by using essential oil of tea tree. It is well known that essential oil of tea tree is a very powerful antiseptic and will kill most types of bacteria. The use of essential oil of tea tree to remove a wart on your face is very popular. It only requires a daily application on the wart until the wart disappears, and doesn’t require the growth be covered with anything such as a Band-Aid.
Whether you choose to remove a wart on your face buy one of these methods, or by having it removed by a dermatologist, you can be certain that there is a safe and effective method that you can use to remove any warts regardless of where it is on your body. | http://www.moleandwartremovalsecrets.com/safely-remove-warts-on-your-face/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:01 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Tell Me Tuesday: School Forcing Pregnancy Tests on Girls
How would you feel if your teenage daughter was forced by school administrators, to take a pregnancy test all based on suspicion? Well it's happening in Louisiana. At Delhi Charter School, if a school administrator suspects a girl is pregnant, she either takes a pregnancy test or has to see a school-approved physician. A positive test result or failure to see the physician is grounds for basically being kicked out of the school and given the chance to continue her education through home-study.
Here's a piece on this from ACLU.
So how would you feel if your daughter were forced to take a pregnancy test?
- Back to momaroo's Momaroo Site!
- Note: your comment will appear in momaroo's local time zone: GMT -05:00 (Eastern Standard - US, Canada)
Oh, Dear. I would find the best seedy lawyer I could buy...(oh wait it's a charter school, let me hold in my laughter at how I feel about those). I love equal rights. It's Ok for boys to get a girl pregnant, but the girl will get punished for it. Nice.
i wouldn't allow that to happen and i feel that kids shouldn't be having sex until they are out of high school but hey that's a whole different thing i don't want to get into.
& i'm sure these girls can take a pregnancy test all on their own??? why would a school think it is their responsibility? it isn't at all.
What?! I don't think a girl's sexuality and/or pregnancies are the school's concern!
@blowingmoney@xanga - I agree, kids should wait until they're older and more responsible before participating in intercourse. I think the school wants to know sooner rather than later about the pregnant students to get rid of them sooner to uphold their reputation. BUT, I can't really criticize the school until I know their position on sex education.
I'd be irate. It's none of the school's damn business. Plus, if a teenage girl is sexually active and it's one, maybe two days after she should have gotten her period, she probably already has gotten her answer.
I'm going to "have to" home school my kids anyway. Too much b.s., and that's coming from someone who mostly enjoyed school.
And what kind of tests do they have for boys?
That's...not right. Why does a girl being pregnant matter to the school? It's not illegal, so it doesn't even have the vague justification as drug testing and breathalyzers and locker/car searches for drugs/booze.
I think it would be nice for pregnancy tests to be available at the nurse, why not. But I see absolutely no justification or reason to force a girl to take a pregnancy test at school or bar her from finishing school because she is pregnant. I hope this shit is stopped. ASAP. It encourages abortions, if anything else. The possibility of getting kicked out of school should not be part of the decision on whether to keep a pregnancy or not.
It's a public school. That's terrible. I might even say it's F-ed up big time.
Wow, I have so many problems with this.... 1) Can the school even legally force a student to take a pregnancy test and then kick them out of school if the test is positive or force the girls to be examined by a doctor of their choosing? 2) Making a girl leave to, and I'm assuming here, maintain a certain reputation makes me think the faculty must not care about their students. 3) What about the boys? Last I checked, it takes two to tango, so what kind of consequences would the dads be facing? Probably none...
I can understand wanting to make pregnancy tests available to students at school. Girls who are scared to death about what their parents are going to say might feel more comfortable testing themselves at school and talking to a counselor or some other trusted adult before going to their parents. However, the testing shouldn't be mandatory. Why don't they just ship the girls off to a convent and claim they're taking care of a sick relative for 9 months? Oh, wait, it's no longer 1950.....
I truly feel the sex education programs in the US need to be changed. Most promote abstinence only, but let's face it, teens are still getting pregnant. Isn't the teen pregnancy rate a good indication of how the sex ed programs are failing miserably? A big part of me wonders how much the percentage would drop if more schools included methods of contraception in their curriculum....
I think this is something that most people can agree is fucked.
@WaitingToShrug@xanga - Charter schools are privately funded, so they are technically private schools.
@Saridactyl@xanga - According to the ACLU article, it is a public charter school. Which, I believe is accurate because charter schools can be either private or public.
Have we just lost 100 years of progress? What next, pre-marriage virginity tests? Are we bringing back dowries and shotgun weddings now? Grrrrr....
I don't see why this is a big deal. Despite the privacy invasion, it's still free testing. If I had such a slut of a daughter who would be having unprotected sex in high school, I'd definitely support this to humiliate her
are 14 year old running around with babies of their own better than this? seriously, what the fuck. test them ALL, not just based on suspicious though. I agree, an underage girl who thinks she can screw around w/o consequences DESERVES this. don't give me BS about rights. she has no RIGHT to be consenting to sex. If this prevented MY teen daughter from having an unwatned child, STRAP her down and do it for all i care.
i know a girl (and i live in Louisiana) who got pregnant at 14, gave birth at 15. by the time she worked up the courage to tell her family it was TOO LATE to abort. this kind of thing could have really saved her high school career.
Instead of doing stuff like this, we should have proper sexual education classes that teaches about safe sex, condoms, and birth control. It's unrealistic to expect the average teenager to not have sex and our current approach of "Tell them to not do it at all" has failed miserably for the last two decades. The teenage pregnancy age average has steadily dropped for the last two and half decades! You know what would be more effective and less invasive than mandatory pregnancy tests? Providing proper education and help. We don't do that.
@boneshakerbabyyy@xanga - @nepenthium@xanga - Do you guys understand what this actually means? This is sexual inequality - males can't get pregnant so they CAN'T get expelled under this rule. This would also be damaging to the image of girls who are NOT sexually active, but are thought to be just because of whatever biases their teachers may have. Imagine if your daughter was a freaking saint, but out of the fly the teacher forced her to get a pregnancy test. Who would you believe? Would you force her to do it? How would she feel about her teacher, you, and whoever else involved? If you're willing to use this testing as punishment for your daughters, it's akin to publicly spanking your kids and tying them to a tree; think of the psychological damage.
God damn this makes me angry }:(
@blowingmoney@xanga - I think kids need to wait too.
I attended a private school in England, and if you got pregnant, you were "asked to leave" - ie. expelled, but it didn't go on your record as an expulsion, giving you a chance to go to a state school to carry on with your education. In the eleven years I was there, nobody got pregnant. I'm not advocating forced pregnancy tests based on "suspicion", but maybe if there were more consequences to teen pregnancy, people would think twice about having unprotected sex while they're still in high school.
Home study is almost always much superior to public school if the parents are up to it.
BLAH. Ok.. First of all, I would be friggin pissed. If they asked me to give her a pregnancy test or something, fine. But forcing them to take one and then suspending them if it's positive?? It is most definitely fucked up. However, I can totally see the school's point of view. Schools have gone from giving sex ed, to handing out condoms, to even having a daycare in some schools, but the fact of the matter is, kids will not stop getting pregnant. Nothing the school's have done so far is working, and they see that parents can't stop it either, so they're trying out some tough love.
So I don't know. I have always been against schools interfering where their jurisdiction ends (my school used to suspend kids for fights they got outside of school, long after the day had ended), but in this case I almost feel like they're trying to make up for where some parents are lacking. It's kind of like they don't know what to do so they're taking the punishment route. It's not necessarily wrong, it's desperation.
@SexyKhoiFish@xanga - We had a great sex ed class. We watched 10 scary birthing videos (where they showed everything, which at the time elicited a lot of screams of fear), put condoms on bananas, talked about all the forms of birth control, etc, and I had 4 pregnant girls in my graduating class. Most schools get as in detail as possible without like having sex right in front of you. Trust me- more sex ed or more elaborate sex ed is not going to help matters. Teen's are still having sex, and they're going to be stupid about it until something happens. That's what happens when, "pregnancy just can't happen to me! It happens to other people, but not to me."
And like I said above, schools have been passing out condoms, working with kids to get their diplomas through the pregnancy, there are schools specifically for teen moms, some schools have installed daycares, and most will provide pregnancy tests and counselling if you want it. Most school's have been incredibly patient and teen pregnancies have only risen so obviously being their buddy isn't working, either.
This is really simple. Have these folks not contacted the ACLU? The kids are minors, therefore, need parental consent for a medical procedure, and you could actually call it this in court. Personally, I wouldn't give a rat's ass if someone wanted to do that to my kid, back in the day. Might have shaken her up a little. Got pregnant at 17, planned an adoption, miscarried shortly after. And mother, me, took responsibility for getting her to the doctor for birth control shots after that. Looking back, I should have started that when she was 14.
@Pollypinks@xanga - Seeing as the link to the story is from the ACLU, yes, I'm guessing someone contacted them.
@Saridactyl@xanga - The article said, "a public school in Louisiana".
There is more info and a petition about this at CHANGE.ORG if you are interested:
If testing her meant that they would help her get some care and guidance following a positive result, and they kept those results private from everyone else, then I would have no problem with it. If it's just a way for them to weed out the promiscuous, though, then I fully disagree. It makes no difference if you're sexually active or not, every child still deserves a chance at an education.
This is awkward...poor girls! It must feel really embarrassing to get asked to do something like this. And we all know how fast the gossip can spread during high school. -_-
If this is a public school, then I would be outraged. If it wasa private school, I'd probably be subject to their standards. | http://www.momaroo.com/766931499/tell-me-tuesday-school-forcing-pregnancy-tests-on-girls/?page=1&jump=1526486323 | 2013-05-18T10:52:37 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Jessica Simpson: Bad Angle or Bad Jeans?
Has Jessica Simpson traded in her mom jeans for a hotter looking pair? Or, was it just a good angle?
Last night, Jessica Simpson headlined for the group Rascal Flatts in a show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As if the mom jean incident of 2009 wasn't enough, Jessica forgot the lyrics to her song and at one point, asked her backing band to start over. She even mouth the words "sorry" and tearfully told the crowd of 9,000 that sometimes she feels like quitting.
The good news: her butt may not be as big as it appears. Unlike the unflattering photos of Jessica rockin' the mom jeans, Jessica Simpson's rear end looked tiny and tight in her True Religion Jeans at the Dallas Airport on Wednesday where she was spotted en route to the concert .
So we have to wonder, is it all about the jeans or is it all about the angle? You be the judge!
Seriously…she looks fine. Those are ugly jeans…but she is still a pretty girl. I guess that is the price you pay when you are in the public eye.
ENOUGH ABOUT JESSICA SIMPSON AND HER BUTT..BIG, LITTLE WHATEVER..MOVE ON MOMOLOGIC.
It’s the god-awful jeans and belt combo. That would not be flattering on anybody!
I can speak from experience—it’s all about the cut of the jean! A good cut and fit can make ALL the difference!
i think jessica looks fine whether shes thin or a lil heavy, she has an amazing personality which shines through and over looks any stupid weight issue!!
I was under the influence of This post to makesomething appreciable
You releasedsomething totally marvellous!Now my thoughts shalln’t let me be a heavy sleeperat night.
You did a great job in this blog post and I think I’ll be back to study your other articles as well. ! non-stop writing.

Guidecraft High Rise Step-Up
Having a 4 year old at home 3 days a week means lots of “help” with all of my tasks. There are times that he drags a kitchen chair over to help and I can’t help but cringe each time the chair wobbles as he shifts around. This month for the Guidecraft Educators I was able to review the High Rise Step-Up.. Safely supports up to 125 lbs.
Retails for $120
Mom perspective- This step-up was easy to put together (I completed the assembly by myself at 33 weeks pregnant). The materials are durable, easy to wipe stains and spills and most importantly to me has non-slip stair treads. I breathe a little easier watching the 4 year old scramble up and down these steps to help aid with my tasks. I love the front panel which makes him (and me) feel more secure. We have used this step-up in the kitchen, the bathroom and love it!
Here is a picture of all the pieces that need to be assembled:
Here is the finished product:
Physical therapist perspective: Motor coordination can be easily practiced with this high rise step-up. The handles are wide and easy to grasp, the stairs are brightly colored, textured and have non-slip treads which help aid in depth perception, proper foot placement and use of upper body to help aid in ascension of stairs. Children who experience sensory issues will feel more secure in this step-up with 3 sides well-protected.

25bps rate cut will be non event for bond market: Nomura
Vivek Rajpal of Nomura India told CNBC-TV18 that at current levels the bond market is already factoring in a 25 basis points rate cut and one should closely watch RBI’s stance and outlook for the future.

More about the Expert...
Vivek Rajpal of Nomura India told CNBC-TV18 that at current levels the bond market is already factoring in a 25 basis points rate cut and one should closely watch RBI’s stance and outlook for the future.
"25 bps of rate cut will not be an event as such for the market. If RBI states a cautious guidance and a neutral guidance, then I do not think there is much scope for bond yields to go lower in February," he elaborated.
Given the fact that inflation rates have been hovering above RBI’s comfort zone of 5 percent, the central bank maintained status quo on the rates front in the subsequent five policy reviews. Now since inflation has surprised on the downside, they may lower inflation forecast, he added.
Below is the edited transcript of Vivek Rajpal’s interview with CNBC-TV18
Q: What exactly is the tenure factoring in at 7.87%, do you think that it is possibly going to be 25 bps or maybe nothing?
A: Bond markets are already factoring in 25 bps of rate cut. So, 25 bps of rate cut will not be an event as such for the market. The key to watch is the guidance. If Reserve Bank of India (RBI) states a cautious guidance and a neutral guidance, I do not think there is much scope for bond yields to go lower especially in the month of February when there is a continuous supply. So, there will be a cap on the yields. But at the current levels, bond yields are factoring in 25 bps of rate cut.
Q: Anything else you will look out for in the credit policy, any revision in inflation forecast below 7.5 percent, any revision in gross domestic product (GDP) forecast, anything else you would look out from the policy?
A: RBI has been focused on inflation and has been commenting on inflation. The inflation has surprised on the downside. They will lower down the inflation forecast. RBI has been concerned about fiscal deficit. So, yes that has been handled well by the government. If we look at these two variables and expect the series of rate cut, it is more of a rear view kind of a driving.
One of the things that has surprised on the upside is current account deficit (CAD). The street was not expecting such a high CAD. It was expecting normalization of CAD going forward, but CAD is a new worry. I will be keenly watching how RBI takes CAD and that is a newer variable that will come into play and that will probably lead to a cautious guidance from RBI.

FDI hopes boost aviation stocks
Scrips of Kingfisher Airlines, SpiceJet and Jet Airways today surged up to 5.3% on reports that the government may take a decision tomorrow on allowing foreign airlines to buy up to 49% stake in cash-starved Indian carriers.
Kingfisher Airlines settled 5.36% higher at Rs 10.02, while SpiceJet climbed 4.59% to Rs 33.05 on the BSE.
Jet Airways shares gained 2.22% to Rs 361.25.
"It is widely expected that the Cabinet may relax FDI norms in its meeting on Friday. This has sent airline stocks flying. Any move in the cabinet meeting to allow foreign airlines to pick up equity of up to 49% could mean further rise in these stocks," Inventure Growth & Securities Chairman & MD Nagji K Rita said.
"It is listed (in the agenda)," Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said today.
Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) is likely to take up the matter tomorrow.
At present, India allows foreign investors, not related. | http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/stocksnews/fdi-hopes-boost-aviation-stocks_757461.html | 2013-05-18T10:55:32 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

That nightmare scenario of deflation might seem remote considering a recent rebound in growth, and the U.
__________________________________________________________
The ‘Unthinkable’ Could Happen — Wall Street Journal
Over one million Americans have heard the evidence for 50% unemployment, 90% stock market crash, and 100% inflation. Be prepared. Watch the Aftershock Survival Summit Now, See the Evidence.
.
That would leave the rate below the U.S. central bank's 1.7 percent to 2 percent comfort zone.
FOUNDATION FOR ACTION
With this year's inflation surge as a backdrop, the Fed is not expected to make any move at its policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.
But looking to mid-2012, when the central bank's current stimulus program known as "Operation Twist" is due to expire, a high jobless rate and slowing inflation could look worrisome, especially if inflation expectations decline further.
"That would provide more of a foundation for action both to try to reduce the probability of slipping into deflation and to try to provide some more support for economic growth," said Randall Kroszner, an economist at the University of Chicago who served on the Fed's board until 2009.
When Kroszner was a policymaker, deflation fears were perhaps their highest since the Great Depression, the last time U.S. prices and incomes sank in a vicious, self-feeding cycle.
To counter inflation, central banks can always raise interest rates. But the Fed's normal tool kit for countering falling prices is limited since it has already cut short-term borrowing costs nearly to zero.
The key would be to find a way to ensure a deflationary psychology does not take hold. If consumers and businesses put off purchases because they could be cheaper down the road, that could undercut the economy and push prices down further.
While growth likely accelerated to around a 2.5 percent annual pace in the third quarter, nearly double the second-quarter rate, several Fed officials have continued to talk about steps they could take to spur a stronger recovery.
Some of the third quarter's relative strength reflects a one-time bounceback from shocks caused by a spike in oil prices and an earthquake in Japan that disrupted manufacturing.
And dark clouds remain. Economists say a worsening of Europe's debt crisis could easily send the United States back into recession, further increasing deflation risks.
MONEY PRINTING
Already, nearly one fifth of Americans believe their family incomes will fall during the next six months, the highest level of wage pessimism since October 2009, according to data released on Tuesday by the Conference Board.
At the same time, consumer expectations for long-term inflation, as measured by a Thomson-Reuters/University of Michigan survey, fell this month to the lowest level since the Fed was readying a $600 billion bond-buying plan a year ago.
Growth in wages has slowed markedly since the recession and they could eventually start falling if the unemployment rate remains high, said Paul Ashworth, and economist at Capital Economics in Toronto. A Reuters poll of economists expects the jobless rate to edge down to just 9 percent in the second quarter of 2012 from 9.1 percent now.
Some analysts think the Fed's extraordinary actions to help the economy — it has already pumped $2.3 trillion into the banking system — make it nearly impossible for a sustained deflation to take hold.
While much of that money has not seeped into the wider economy because of weak demand and tighter lending standards, eventually it will, greasing the gears of growth and fueling inflation, said Richard Burdekin, an economist at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California.
"There is a legitimate concern about deflation," he said. "But to have a deflation when you have the sort of money growth we're seeing would be unprecedented."
Yet investors who believe most ardently that deflation is coming see evidence in the declines in the values of a number of asset classes. U.S. housing prices have fallen about a third since their pre-recession peak, while the Standard & Poor's stock index is down about a fifth. The Reuters-Jefferies CRB commodities index has also dropped about a third since its 2008 peak, and nearly 15 percent since April of this year.
"When you have deflation in all these other areas, it's kind of difficult to see how goods and services are going to resist the trend," said Gary Shilling, who formerly worked on the staff of the San Francisco Fed and as an economist at several Wall Street firms. | http://www.moneynews.com/InvestingAnalysis/Deflation-Risks-Rising-US/2011/10/27/id/415883 | 2013-05-18T10:12:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
I have window gates (guards) and am putting up locks on them for the safety of my children. Where do I put the keys? They'd need to be somewhere where the children can use them in case of fire, but I don't want it them to be lost
susanc 2-20-07 3:08pm
Stop! Think! Locking window guards is a REALLY bad idea. I'm not sure why you need guards but they are generally used for one of two purposes. The first is to prevent break-ins and the second is to prevent young children from falling out a window. In EITHER case, properly installed guards have a keyless, quick release mechanism that can be opened up from the inside of the windows so children could not possibly be trapped inside n the event of a devastating fire.
There is about ZERO chance that keys, even if kept near by, can be found and used in the panic and thick, dense smoke of a fire. Never, ever, padlock these guards shut. For examples of window guards with quick release features, click here [1].

Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary
Maybe my math is off, but a show that debuted at the tail end of 1963 should be two years away from an anniversary. Still, I always loved Doctor Who when I was growing up, and I don’t mind it getting some hype. I suppose it’s “hipster” of me to be a little resentful …

The Bedford Public Schools Board of Education approved contracts for the Bedford Mechanics and individually contracted employees during a special meeting Sept. 14.
The mechanics are members of Local 214, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America.
The contracts were approved through June 30.
Of the nine collective bargaining units, negotiations remain only with Bedford Education Association, the largest, which includes teachers.
In other matters, the board bought a new telephone system from Buckeye CableSystem. The district has had phone problems since the start of the school year.
Supt. Ted Magrum said the system will be upgraded to a voice over Internet protocol system. The approval includes the purchase of 165 new telephones, because the old ones are not compatible with the upgraded system, for $41,250. Ten months of service will cost the district $45,770, Dr. Magrum said.
The district hopes to be reimbursed for a portion of the cost for the new phone service from its insurance company because those who inspected the system said it looks like it was struck by lightning.
The money for the phones and service will come from a combination of the general fund and the capital improvements fund.
Bedford Public Schools cannot use money from the countywide technology enhancement millage for the phones.
"The technology money is for instructional technology," Dr. Magrum said.
At least three phones are working at each building in the district despite the problems.
Phones will begin to be installed Monday. The new system is expected to be fully operational by the first part of October. | http://www.monroenews.com/news/2011/sep/24/bps-board-two-contracts-okayed-phone-system-bought/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
On the front of the laminated postcard is a picture of a smiling child holding onto a walking apparatus.
Next to the photo are the words: Outsource this Child’s Needs? On the back is a warning that children with disabilities are in danger because, it states, a local school district is considering privatizing some services, such as bus drivers and custodians, who are negotiating a new contract.
Click images to enlarge
About 10,000 of these postcards were sent to Monroe area residents to warn them about the dangers of privatizing services with the Monroe County Intermediate School District, which specializes in assisting and educating children with disabilities. Dr. Donald Spencer, superintendent of the ISD, said the postcards are misleading and in poor taste.
“I thought it was very unfortunate,” he said. “I thought it was very inappropriate. It was in poor taste. To me it was rather disturbing.”
But the union president representing certain employees defended the postcards, saying they were necessary to inform the public about the potential consequences of outsourcing. Kay Hinds, union president with the Michigan Education Association and an employee of the ISD for more than 30 years, said privatizing services can jeopardize students’ safety.
“That’s the way I feel,” she said. “It scares me.”
Dr. Spencer admitted that he and district officials have pursued RFPs, or Request for Proposals, to determine how much private transportation and custodial companies pay their employees in salaries and benefits. But, Dr. Spencer added, the only reason he did so was to better prepare the district during contract negotiations. He never intended to privatize custodial and transportation services.
“We’re not looking at privatizing,” he said. “They overreacted.”
Ms. Hinds disputes that assessment. She said there is no reason to put in the time and effort to seek bids other than to consider privatizing services and eliminating longtime ISD employees.
“If they weren’t seriously considering privatizing they would never have pursued those RFPs,” she said. “If (RFPs) were only requested for the purpose of negotiations, then that is a direct violation of our contract.”
Several of the ISD employee unions are in negotiations for a new contract with the district. Ms. Hinds, who represents hourly workers such as secretaries, custodians and bus drivers, said the negotiations are “useless.”
On the back of the postcard is an explanation of the district’s finances and how it is sitting on a savings account approaching $20 million. It accuses the ISD of hoarding money and placing cash under mattresses.
“Local/Loyal employee jobs are not for sale! Is your child?” the postcard states. “This could be a safety issue for these students!”
The name of a group called the Citizens for Protecting Special Needs Students in Monroe is printed on the postcards.
Dr. Spencer said the district wants to negotiate contracts fairly but he also needs to be fiscally responsible. So he pursued financial information from the private companies to better prepare himself. He said he would not be doing his job if he didn’t research such information.
“I do understand their anxiety but this is a matter of dignity,” Dr. Spencer said. “I believe it is my responsibility to the board and the community to find as much information as possible.”
Ms. Hinds said she loves working at the ISD and respects the administrators but the two sides of a negotiating table often do not see eye-to-eye.
“I firmly believe Dr. Spencer and anyone in administration are doing the best they can for the children,” she said. “But the negotiations are going nowhere.” | http://www.monroenews.com/news/2012/aug/29/isds-spencer-mailing-was-poor-taste/ | 2013-05-18T10:31:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

When I first interviewed for the position of president of Montana State University last fall, many of my colleagues at New Mexico State University had a word of caution for me.
"Montana," they said. "It is very cold there."
Now, a little more than 120 days into my service as the 12th president of Montana State University, and after several trips across this state during which I have met many of you, I have words of my own to describe Montana and its people. Those words are: warmth, beauty and hope.
I have found great warmth everywhere I stopped in Montana throughout my Listening and Learning Tour in my first weeks at MSU. The weather may have been cool, but I have found Montanans to be extremely warm and open as they shared with me their thoughts about Montana State University and its role in their lives and the future of their children.
I have seen great beauty during these past months, and I am not only speaking about Montana's magnificent landscape. I have seen beauty in the faces of Montanans as they told heartfelt stories about how this university has transformed their lives and the lives of Montana's communities through its mission of service and outreach.
And I have seen hope everywhere in the Big Sky State. Even in these times of historic challenges, Montanans continue to plan and dream for their futures and for the future of their towns, cities and state. I'm deeply gratified that Montana State University's land grant mission remains central to those plans for growth and renewal.
During those Listening and Learning sessions, I heard many wonderful suggestions from you, for which I thank you greatly. I am considering all of this feedback as I begin to think about key university initiatives for the future. A few themes that I have heard repeatedly from all of you will remain essential to MSU. They include the university's land grant mission of outreach to the people of the state; its prominence as a research center that promotes new knowledge as well as excellent teaching; and service to Montanans, especially through distance learning.
If I haven't visited your community yet, or had the opportunity to meet you and listen to your thoughts, I hope to have that opportunity soon. Until then, you may send me your feedback at president@montana.edu.
Also, I would like to invite you all to participate in the activities planned for my inauguration, set Sept. 10. More details will follow.
Until then, I thank you all for your warmth and openness in welcoming me to Montana. It is my distinct honor to serve you.
Sincerely,
Waded Cruzado, president | http://www.montana.edu/mountainsandminds/article.php?article=8540 | 2013-05-18T10:12:16 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in Seaside will reopen Tuesday, albeit under new management and a new name.
Warren Hoy, spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Monterey, confirmed that the pantry will be managed by St. Francis Xavier Church, rather than the parish's conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. It will be called St. Francis Xavier Food Pantry.
Former conference president Janet McPherson said Monday diocese attorney Susan Mayer and other church officials "let me go" and will take over the operation. McPherson said Mayer cited concerns about McPherson's nonprofit status and her "contentious" relationship with Pastor Michael Volk as reasons her services were no longer desired.
McPherson, who is black, said she has been offended by comments "Father Mike" has made about her race and said her mother and aunt, unlike white volunteers, were not invited to continue their work at the pantry.
"St. Francis Xavier parish is a multi-ethnic parish with people from all races and ethnicities worshipping, volunteering and working at the parish," Hoy said. "Regarding the allegation that this was racially motivated, nothing could be further from the truth. The reason Ms. McPherson may not volunteer at St. Francis Xavier Food Pantry has nothing to do with her race."
He declined to further discuss the reasons for her dismissal, citing McPherson's privacy.
"We welcome volunteers who wish to help the hungry and less fortunate in the Seaside area and
The food pantry has been run with little to no interruption for decades until last week. McPherson said she was told without warning or reason Jan. 24 that the St. Vincent de Paul Monterey District Council was dropping the St. Francis Conference, leaving her without the nonprofit status to operate.
But Brian O'Donnell, St. Vincent de Paul's regional vice president, said the closure had been brewing for three months. He said McPherson began questioning the St. Francis Conference's funding when she was elected president in October.
Her concerns prompted him to look into the conference's status with the charity and he found it was not a member. It is unclear if it ever was, O'Donnell said, but McPherson could have corrected the situation by accepting the group's repeated offers to help her apply.
When she didn't, the St. Vincent de Paul Monterey District Council withdrew its funding. The move left several hungry families and individuals waiting on the pantry's doorstep last week.
McPherson said Monday the "conference's" food supplies and office and refrigeration equipment remained at St. Francis Xavier but the locks had been changed.
Hoy said the pantry will resume its normal hours of operation, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next to the church office, 1475 La Salle Ave., Seaside.

Looking forward to the guide coming out. Sounds like a lot of good advice. We have recently paid off our house so I’m putting that money in an emergency fund every month. We don’t miss it since it was going out anyway and it sure is nice to see the account growing so quickly.
What a great check list. Thanks for sharing!
As a professional writer / blogger I started wanting to cut debt and succeeded after a lot of hard work, but now with systems and technology in place it is really something that’s totally achievable. Online income sources and cutting debt can go hand-in-hand towards a much brighter future, even in a dark economy. Great advice, thank you.
When you pay less for health insurance, don’t you usually have a higher deductible?
Excellent list. Do you think increasing debt can be a good move for creating long term wealth? For example, step 9 (investing) would be easier if step 7 (reducing debt) were skipped.
I still hold strong to the idea that most people need to pay down their credit card balances more consistently just prior to the end of their grace periods each month. By letting balances carry over from month-to-month (revolve) the interest not only makes these credit card companies richer but it compounds on the debt issue until it gets so out of hand that it can never be paid back in a life time. Better to attack it as it builds.
The better way of not getting into a debt is to manage your expences correctly. We need to start learning about money and its influence probably at the age of 13 ( I am not kidding by the way). Coz this is the time when we take our baby steps into adult world. So we need to have a better understanding of major terms in a finance sphere : debt, credit, money, invest, spend , etc
very nice list. Its true that if you start tracking what you spend, you can end up saving a lot of money instead of buying blindly
I almost bought a $2 PDF on personal finance guide and tips but i paused for a minute and thought to myself “wait,…i can get free tips on my favorite blogs..”. There, i saved myself from spending unnecessary spending. Its just great to realize that we can get very helpful tips and advice from finance experts for FREE. You are one of the most respected contributor on the web that i have known. Thanks once again. More power to your career.
@Malcolm – “You are one of the most respected contributor on the web that i have known.”, thank you. my team and I really appreciate the compliment.
People always focus on the ‘spending less’ portion of this equation online – but I can guarantee that none of them are actively looking for work if they have a job.
Even if you’re happy where you are – always keep your ear to the ground. You might find something that pays better and you can use this as leverage to get a raise at your existing job if you don’t want to leave.
This is a great list. I need to sell a lot of my stuff, and soon. I don’t even know how it all collected; it’s not like I went out and bought 90% of it. I hope that I can make some money! Do you have any garage sale tips? I’ve never had one before.
I think the big one is going into business for yourself. That way, you reap all the benefits of your own hard work, not some corporate politician all the way up there.
I have learned from great personal finance advisers that it doesn’t matter how much you earn, but how much you keep is important.
Very true as you said, we should cut our expensive as much as possible and stick to our budget, if we want to survive financially.
Thanks for great tips. | http://www.moolanomy.com/6095/steps-to-improve-your-finances/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:18 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Now I have 2 platforms so I'm tempted to cut the rear lip off my old one and try it for surfing. There's lots of chatter about the lip hurting the wave but I know I need the deck on the boat as taking it off makes the wave nasty.
We will see how it works out lol
Eighter way I'll use it as wall art in the garage.
We took the platform completely off and set it on the sun deck one day surfing and didn't notice any noticable difference in the wave size or cleanliness. I was suprised honestly. I would give that a shot before cutting anything just to make sure it's worth your time.-2012 Supra 21v

Just south of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, head east on the road that parallels the bay to the OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center (2030 SE Marine Science Dr., 541/867-0100,, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. daily summer, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Thurs.–Mon. winter, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. daily spring and winter break Whale Watch weeks, donation suggested). This research and education facility is a low-key but interesting complement to the very popular Oregon Coast Aquarium, located half a mile south.
At the door to greet you is an octopus in an open tank pointing the way to oceanography exhibits and a “hands-on” area where you can experience the feel of starfish, anemones, and other sea creatures.
The back hallway has educational dioramas, and a theater shows marine-science films throughout the day. If you proceed left from the octopus tank, you’ll see tanks with different sea ecosystems. Beyond the walls of the museum, guided field trips (a fee is charged) explore estuary, beach, and coastal forest habitats at various times of the year (check with the front desk or the website for details).
Perhaps the biggest thrill is watching the octopus eat—it’s fed at 1 p.m. each Monday, Thursday, and S. | http://www.moon.com/destinations/oregon/central-coast/newport/sights/hatfield-marine-science-center | 2013-05-18T10:53:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

620 S. 9th St., 215/238-2626,
HOURS: Daily 7 a.m.–10 p.m.
COST: Most entrées less than $10
One of Philadelphia’s best coffee shops, the Chapter House Café is barely a block from the bustling concrete jungle of South Street, but it might as well be on a different planet.
The minimalist white walls, dark-wood floors, and spare but comfortable black-and-silver seating are brightened by rotating installations of paintings and mobiles by local artists hanging on the walls.
You’re likely to see multiple people with Mac laptops and square-frame glasses sipping lattes and being creative, or at least looking like they are.
Besides great coffee, Chapter House serves sandwiches, cocoa, Italian sodas, and teas. And though it’s always out of bagels, there’s a good selection of pastries and muffins.. | http://www.moon.com/destinations/philadelphia/restaurants/south-philadelphia/cafes/chapter-house-cafe | 2013-05-18T11:03:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

It is one of the wild plants still gathered each spring in rural regions as a "spring tonic" and pot-herb. It makes a healthy and very nutritious vegetable, which is cleansing and easy to digest. An old country remedy for chronic rheumatism and arthritis is "Urtication" or flogging with nettles. Some folks even keep a nettle plant growing on a sunny windowsill, so that the healing stings might be applied throughout the winter.
It is a strange fact that the juice of the nettle proves an antidote for its own sting, and being applied will afford instant relief. The sting of a nettle may also be cured by rubbing the part with dock, Rosemary, Peppermint or Sage leaves, as well as those of Comfrey, plantain, or jewelweed, which can often be found growing alongside nettles.
Primary Constituents:
Chlorophyll, in high yields... Nettles are a significant source of vitamin C and vitamin A, bio-available minerals, including calcium, silicon, and potassium chloride; protein, and dietary fiber.
Indicated Usages - Internal:
Indicated Usages - External:
Extracts of nettle have been included in hair tonics for centuries due to its purported ability to stimulate hair growth. Like many bitter herbs, nettle is a blood purifier. Its long list of traditional uses can be summed up in its ability to increase the production of urine, its mild laxative effect and its ability to increase the efficiency of liver and kidney function..
Uses: Our two favorite uses are in teas and food recipes. Like many other bulk herbs, we add it to salads, meat dishes, soups, stews, etc. in small amounts for added nutrition and fiber without affecting the flavor (it has a rather mild flavor so you hardly know it's there). Otherwise, we make it into a strong tea/infusion, and use it in place of water in many recipes.. | http://www.morethanalive.com/Nettle-leaf-cut?id=Why3pduy | 2013-05-18T10:41:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

When ground to a fine powder, this bark makes an excellent flour extender and can be used in a variety of recipes. Some writers claim that it has a food value equal to that of oatmeal and have recommended it as a wholesome and nourishing food for invalids and children.
The demulcent, emollient and wound healing properties of slippery elm are due to its mucilage content. The mucilage is viscous fiber that lowers the bowel transit time, absorbs toxins from the bowel, regulates intestinal flora and soothes the lining of the digestive tract.
The demulcent effects are also active when the herb is used externally as a poultice or in an ointment.
The most popular use of slippery elm is as a demulcent expectorant. This property is explained by the ability of tannins to combine with mucous and precipitate it.
Slippery elm decoctions are consumed hourly to coat the throat and allow the tannins to congeal the mucous build-ups, thus facilitating the expulsion of excess mucous. Beware of respiratory formulas based on slippery elm that are in capsules or tablets to be swallowed as this negates any demulcent action on the throat..
Slippery elm is an amazing, mild-flavored, highly nutritious herb. It is used in many combinations and poultices not only because of its medicinal properties but also because of its cohesive quality that helps hold the other herbs together.
Has been used in the following:
This mucilaginous herb also helps absorb toxins in the bowel. In fact, it is very soothing to the entire digestive system. It is useful especially for diarrhea, bowel weakness or as a mild nourishing food for sick children. Since the herb is slightly sweet, it is one that children will often take readily if it is mixed in some cereal, applesauce or fruit juice. We have also blended it with fruit juice and used it to make a "mock" chocolate drink by mixing it with hot milk and honey.
Uses: We add Slippery Elm to many food recipes (hot cereals, sauces, gravies, meat dishes, vegetable dishes, stir-fry, baby food and formulas, waffles and pancakes, ice cream, etc.). Of course, it's also a great medicine for any digestive and colon related conditions. It can be used to benefit men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing) and children. It can be used as often as you would like.
Voice of Experience: Slippery Elm is a fantastic herb to "slip" into dishes on a daily basis. It exponentially boosts the nutritional content AND adds the wonderful medicinal benefits. Try it in various dishes in small amounts. You won't be disappointed.
Storage: Like many other bulk foods, Slippery Elm stores fairly well. It should be kept in an airtight container and stored in a dark, dry, and cool place (no refrigeration is required).

Hi Joy,I appreciate you checking to see if my order arrived OK, and it did. I love this product as is does everything I hoped it would for my digestive system. I use as a tea three times a day and it keeps my IBS symptoms calm to non existing. I'm very pleased with how timely I received my package and look forward to ordering more and other items from your site. Thank you very much!

I bought this product for my dog, she has had a mast cell tumor, so the vet suggested that I keep her on pepcid ac all the time, so I started giving her slippery elm powder in her meals and it really seems to have helped her. This is the first time I have purchased from More Than Alive and their product is great and fast delivery, I will definitely order from them again. Thanks

Hi, I have followed your site for years. I have a question. I have been taking slippery elm for IBS with wonderful results. Now, I just found out that I am pregnant, and I have stopped taking all my herbs. (miss them dearly) Is slippery elm ok to take? I've searched the web and get conflicting results. We live in the boondocks, no herbalists around here! Please help. Thanks

I'm not sure if you've delivered your bundle of joy yet, but I just met a young lady who purchased the herb "Red Raspberry" leaves which promotes strengthening the wall of uterus and entire female reproductive system. Additionally, I read that it:
• Alleviates morning sickness and nausea. Has been used as a preventative for hemorrhaging during labor. Assists labor, makes delivery easier and relieves after pains. Tones and regulates before, during and after childbirth.
• Increases and enriches milk for lactation, can be combined with marshmallow tea.
• Raspberry tea is mild and pleasant to taste. It is good for stomachaches and bowel problems in children. For diarrhea in babies.

I see that slippery elm is an ingredient in throat coat tea. I had a cup this morning and was about to have my second cup when I read not to drink it because I am pregnant. Trying to figure out what could happen it seems slippery elm is why I wasn't supposed to drink it but nothing is telling me what the side effects are. What could happen? | http://www.morethanalive.com/Slippery-Elm-bark-powder?id=Pi2Noaiu | 2013-05-18T10:55:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Mori Building Co., Ltd.
Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on Office Needs and Attitudes Toward BCP
- 2011 Survey of Office Needs in Tokyo’s 23 Wards (Special Edition) -
We would like to offer our prayers and profound condolences for the many who lost their lives in the Great East Japan Earthquake and our heartfelt sympathy to all whose lives have been tragically impacted by this disaster.
With the aim of better understanding the future of the office building market in Tokyo, Mori Building Co., Ltd (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Minoru Mori) has been conducting a survey of companies that are headquartered in Tokyo’s 23 wards and are ranked in the top 10,000 in capitalization every November since 2003.
In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, Mori Building undertook this special edition of our questionnaire survey to obtain a grasp of its impact on the Tokyo office market. We asked 3,400 companies headquartered in Tokyo’s 23 wards about office space demand including future plans to lease new premises and their Business Continuity Plan (BCP). The results have been summarized in this report.
1．Impact on Office Needs in Tokyo’s 23 Wards
○“Intent to lease new premises (21%) remains over 20%.
○Regarding the timing of leasing of new premises, “within one year” (36%⇒60%) increased sharply.
○“Desire to move to building with superior seismic performance” rose dramatically (15％⇒45％) to the top reason for leasing new office space, overtaking “Lower rent”.
○Regarding the importance of an office in Tokyo, almost all respondents indicate that importance will remain “unchanged” with 6% indicating it will “increase”.
2．Impact on Corporate Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
○Compared with the pre-quake 35% of companies that had a BCP ready for the disaster, it is estimated that the number has since more than doubled to 80% in the aftermath of the disaster.
○BCP considerations that have shown increases (pre vs. post) are “Procedures for employees who face difficulty to return home”, “Securing communications”, and ”Office building selection standards”.
○Approximately 50% include “availability of emergency power generator”and “geographical characteristics” in new or expanded standards for office building selection.

I love soup and I normally make it once a week during the colder weather. This year I haven't been making soup much and I don't know why. The other day it was so cold out and even though my plans were to make pork chops for dinner, I walked into the kitchen and automatically went for the lentils. I had a craving for a big bowl of soup and I knew lentils were the way to go. This soup was so simple to make and I have to admit, I was afraid that it was going to be on the bland side when it was done. I was so wrong. This simple and easy soup was so full of flavor -how full you ask - I didn't reach for any hot sauce or red pepper (that's huge!) Also - I was shocked to see my Little Man eat 3 bowls of this soup. I was convinced he would take one look at the lentils and run the other way but nope - he ate 3 bowls of it. This recipe calls for 3 slices of bacon as the only meat - I had a small piece of kielbasa in the fridge so I sauteed that up with the bacon (that's the hunk of meat you see in the picture above.) I was so excited we had leftovers from this and when lunch came around the next day I was ready for my bowl of soup - but it was gone. Hubby liked it too - he took the leftovers to work with him. I guess I just need to make it again and double the recipe this time...enjoy!!!
recipe from Martha Stewart
Ingredients:
- 3 strips bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 cups lentils, picked over and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Directions:
Add the onion and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste, and cook 1 minute more.
Now add the lentils, thyme, broth, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover the soup and cook until lentils are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. If the soup becomes too thick add a bit more water.
Stir in the red-wine vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve immediately.
I added a little shaved Parmesan at the end.

DD is almost 3 mos. and is basically out of the Moby. She's not so hot on the ring sling so she has to be in the right mood for it. I've been putting her in the Ergo with the infant insert which is fine but I'm not sure how I should be positioning her. I have her in the regular hold, both legs to either side and she seems okay - she doesn't fight it or act uncomfortable but I feel like that is making her legs spread way to far and could be hurting her hips. She is too heavy for the position they suggest on the website (slanted with both feet to one side) as she is almost 14 lbs. and 25 inches. I just want to make sure that I'm not doing it wrong or maybe find a different way of putting her in there until she gets a little bigger.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Are you willing to take it up with my husband for me?
I know full well. If I were the only parent making decisions for my pregnancies, I wouldn't be getting the 20 week ultrasound. But since I really do like my husband and appreciate not being a single parent, there are some things that I just don't fight that hard on. Instead I'll save the energy when it comes to circumcision. I feel much more strongly about my son keeping all of his parts than I do whether or not I know which parts he may or may not have at birth.

I read most of the forum rules and am not quite sure where this post belongs...please forgive me. I am a first-time mom from Philadelphia who nurses full-time when with my little boy (am, pm, all night, all weekend) and pumps 3x a day 9-5.
I am aware that the laws vary by state but I wanted to share something with you and get your input. I am a full-time employee who has her own office. My workplace put a lock on my door so I have been able to express milk since returning to work when my son was 3 months old (he is now 8.5 months). I am very gracious for this situation. Where it gets tricky is that my boss has been repeatedly inappropriate by rolling her eyes or saying "Oh gosh," if breastfeeding comes up in conversation. There is a conference coming up that I asked if it was imperative that I attend because it will be two full (unanticipated) days of travel for two days of meetings and my son cannot come with me for various reasons. I was extremely stressed about the situation (had 50 oz, needed 150 oz) and so I inquired if it was mandatory. This led to outrageous conflict and her telling me that, "I can't keep using breastfeeding as an excuse," but I never said that I would not attend. (I am registered for the conference, but I did not know at 3 months that I would still be nursing at 8.5 months and I am not willing to compromise my nursing relationship).
This happened before when there was an option to attend a morning or evening workshop months ago - I chose morning to be home to nurse my son at night. She saw that as me using breastfeeding as an excuse to get out of a mandatory employee workshop (but I went to the morning workshop). After much turmoil, I resigned yesterday, but I'd like to know if this seems like something HR should know about.
This is very upsetting to me.
Your support and/or input is much appreciated.

I have recently fallen in love with woven wraps and need some tips on how to get more use out of mine. I have a Dolcino already and have ordered an Ellaroo as a lighter weight option. My 2 month old son pretty much does all of his napping in the wrap and I feel pretty proficient with the FCC and FWCC. I have really only used it in the house, so I can get other things done and have hands available for my older daughter, and on walking outings from the house.
I need some tips on how to practically use it when out and about. Like how to get him out of the car seat in a parking lot and wrap him up to go in to the grocery store. Does the wrap just get wet and dirty when you use it out in the world, or are there some tricks to make it easier?
Thanks!

How Much Finance is Too Much? with the literature on the relationship between volatility and growth (Ramey and Ramey 1995) and that on the persistence of negative output shocks (Cerra and Saxena 2008).
If their results are right, the financial sector in the United States is about twice as large as it should be. And it's not just us: they say that their findings suggest that "all the advanced economies that are now facing serious problems are located above our 'too much' finance threshold." The chart above shows the full set of countries that are above or, in some cases, way above their threshold.
Food for thought. The full paper is here. (Via Felix Salmon.)

GOP Pundit Invents 1000s of Political Prisoners for Chavez
On MSNBC on Monday morning, GOP pundit Ron Christie, while commenting about Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez's self-professed desire for better relations with the United States, huffed that "actions speak louder than words...I'd like to see him release thousands of political prisoners who are currently in prison for their political views."
The problem with that statement? Chavez, for all his anti-democratic ways, has not imprisoned thousands of political prisoners. Human rights groups that roundly criticize Chavez don't even cite a single political prisoner in Venezuela. Nobody on air corrected Christie.
Who's Christie? He was an aide to both President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. He wrote a book called, Black in the White House: Life Inside George W. Bush's Wet Wing. He appears regularly on cable television. He's a lobbyist (and used to lobby for AIG). And his bio makes him sound super-smart:
As a veteran senior advisor to the White House and Congress, he brings his keen insights and political savvy to issues including health care, the national budget, taxes, and innumerable others. He is also active on the international scene as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, lending his breadth of knowledge and intelligence to world affairs.
But Christie's breadth of knowledge about Venezuela ain't so hot. As Human Rights Watch reports, Chavez "has weakened democratic institutions and human rights guarantees in Venezuela." It notes: group also points out that the Chavez government has undermined freedom of expression with crackdowns aimed at the media, has violated workers' rights, and has "pursued an aggressively adversarial approach to local rights advocates and civil society organziations." But it says nothing about political prisoners--let alone thousands. Amnesty International, too, notes that in Venezuela "human rights defenders continued to face intimidation and attack." Again, no mention of political prisoners. (By the way, the repressive Castro regime in Cuba has imprisoned several dozen dissidents, not thousands.)
I sent Christie an email asking about his claim that Chavez has jailed thousands of political prisoners. So far, he has not responded. Maybe he's too busy lending his breadth of knowledge to world affairs.

I dissected cow's eyeballs for that age group once. Borrowed forceps from the morgue. It was a big hit. You can find, amazingly, cow eyeballs for pretty cheap online and youtube videos aid in the instruction of dissection. They were enthralled, and the hour passed very quickly. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
fifth-grade... any sort of dissection, or your idea, the swallowed goods on x-rays. Or both.
I got a brain from the hospital's pathology department and took it to my son's class once. We cut it down the center and talked about where the different functions are located. I brought a big box of gloves, so the kids each got to come up and touch the brain. That was 5 years ago, and I am still the coolest mom in the grade! :-)
You can also get pig or cow hearts from a butcher to dissect.
If you can borrow some extra medical equipment let them listen with stethoscopes, play with reflex hammers, etc!
Stethoscopes. I bring as many as I can and let them listen to their hearts. First, I talk to them briefly about what I do and take questions. Make sure when you take questions to attend to gender balance - most of the time I have to gently squash the boys and encourage the girls to speak up.
I first became interested in medicine in high school when I saw ultrasound pictures showing fetal development, so I think imaging is a great way to go especially if you can get bones and foreign objects that are easily recognized by children. I think giving kids an idea of how much information you can figure out with a simple physical exam would be cool too. I really like the idea of percussing organs.... | http://www.mothersinmedicine.com/2012/02/s.html?showComment=1330374532842 | 2013-05-18T10:52:48 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

If all you say is correct you should have no issues claiming that the machine is 'not fit for purpose' under the Sale of Goods Act. If the dealer will not offer a full refund contact Trading Standards and the CAB.
yes I got a bill of sale and it had 3mths warranty, and so far have not paid anything to get it fixed, including recovery and delivery. I went to see the dealer today and the bike is still in bits but he was working on it. I did ask what happens when it breaks down again out of warranty but he evaded my question. Thank you all for your assistance, if nothing else it gives me some idea as to what to do next
More like flippin Dealer,8 times in dock in less than 3 months,you`ve been more than patient.
OK the scooter is 10 years old but what do you expect.
Also just noticed 236km from newthat`s 15 miles a year (approx) where has it been all this time? probably in dock.
Any repairs will have a warranty.

It was bought by a doctor from new and he couldn't get his head around riding so it was stored in his garage until august, september. oh update from dealer the 2 stroke oil pipe has split and seized the top end so it's going to be at least another week before we get it back. I'm going to see the dealer monday armed with the "not fit for purpose under the sale of goods act" and see what they say this time. I'll keep you all posted cheers guys!

complain to the finance company and tell them your son has not been able to use it because it's so unreliable. I don't know what the legal position is but I have done this in the past, with a car that was always breaking down. The car was collected, the finance agreement ended and I got all my paymenta and deposit back in 48 hours. I was very impressed.

okay serious people the "not fit for purpose" thing pisses me off if someone would like to finish the sentence it ends "not fit for purpose AT THE POINT OF SALE!" this mean that if the bike worked when you bought it and did not disintegrate then it was fit for purpose as soon as the bike leaves that forecourt that statement is redundant. if you have not paid for any servicing that is your warranty therefore after 3 month you will have to pay for servicing, it is not a manufacturers warranty it is a dealers so he will not be as inclined to give you an extension. (sympathy bit) I've been in the same position with a stroker built on a Monday just kept on going wrong spent more time in the garage than on the road it's not great but sadly that can happen, i work in retail and more specifically i am the warranty dept in the shop so i'm not just a crazy guy talking shit.
Thank you for your post this helps a great deal and I now know where I stand legally. Just to follow up on the story so far. There was a problem with the starter centefugal clutch, once fixed the mechanic started it and found it had seized due to lack of oil (oil supply pipe split) scoring the barrel, new one ordered including piston and small end bearing this bike uses a yamaha bwz engine, rebadged as aprillia so once we get it back it should be all good. Thank you all once again for all your input.
got the aprillia back and we have been charged for a top end rebuild £376.74 including vat. they claim the pipe has been cut or pinched by the battery tray. neither me or my son have worked on the bike apart from changing the spark plug and neither of us knew where the battery was located until shown how can it be our fault and not covered under warranty? We are going to contact trading standards and C.A.B. We have paid £176.74 but still owe £200.00 and the bike is in our possession. Any ideas? have we done the right thing?
From what you say you have not had the bike in your possesion for 3 months,also it sounds like dodgy previous repair work.Also the bike sounds as though it never got a check over before the sale.
Oil pipe split at 236km,
You have proof of warranty.

Two weeks ago I took position of my ML350. To say that I am in love with it is an understatement. The truck handles like a dream. The ride is smooth and all of the features are wonderful for a gadget queen such as myself. I have been wanting a Mercedes for a very long time and waited many years to get one. I am glad that I finally bit the bullet and purchased this vehicle. I am hoping that the issues of the previous reviewer's get fixed.

No, I would not recommend. | http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2012/mercedes_benz/m_class/ml350_bluetec_sport_utility/3155/consumer_reviews/ | 2013-05-18T10:54:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I've said before that I'm not a real political person. I am not.
What I do hate is complete Idiocy. There is a lot of that, without doubt. It's as though the "Powers That Be" weren't born with a lick of sense.
This hit me while we were driving around looking at some of the logging being done. I absolutely support logging. I know a lot of people don't. But these pictures are of the area that I live in during the summer, and it's very well done. The loggers maintain the road, or pay to have it done. There are masses of trees that are still growing, and logging some of them helps the new growth become stronger.
As you can see, there are countless numbers of trees
These logging roads are up pretty high, and I love going up where not many go. And I love looking at large impressive machines
It makes Jilly look pretty tiny
The size of this grapple is pretty cool!
The above pictures is a how it looks like on a well managed logging area.
Below is how it looks when the Government steps in and says we have to protect and not cut the "Poor wittle twees" (baby talk sarcasm)
I mean, how pretty is all this? I don't know all their reasoning, but I know they have all kinds of jargon for the stupidity. These were burned several years ago, and no one was ever allowed to go get the dead trees. Many many people would have LOVED to go get them and use them to heat their homes in bad times. Locals would have gone in and done it on their own time, with loving care for the land they call home, with NO charge to the government. Many many could have benefitted from this. BUT No one was allowed to. Still. Eventually, our government will have to go in and do something about it. How much do you suppose that will cost? Such a waste of such a great resource, but not only that. We will pay for what the "Smart Ones" will decide needs to be done.
Happy times
I don't believe it is a plot or conspiracy or any other ridiculous notions like that, but I do believe if you don't live in an area, keep your mouth shut.
I have another discussion coming, and I can't wait to hear thoughts on that one.
We've been in the middle of a controversy, that has made me want to wring necks. Of course, I'm sweet, so I don't. Yet....
I sure welcome your thoughts on logging
Jessie
If we do not keep our forests maintained properly, the wildfires will. Man is not as "evil" as people like to think.
Our loggers are much more respectful of the trees than most people give them credit for.
Every time I go back to Idaho, I soak in the beauty of the mountains and the trees. There is nothing quite like it.
People in the cities cannot begin to imagine the wonders of forests, animals and plants that we are so blessed to have.
But you do need to be a good steward. When things get out of hand population wise, animals starve, trees burn and disease is rampant.
Thank you Jessie for the beautiful pictures. I have very fond thoughts of Cascade from my teen years.
Thanks Bonnie!
What beautful pictures..thank you for those. As for the government, just remember...you can have a herd of cattle.
a pod of whales.
a murder of crows. And, oddly enough,
a congress of baboons.
Yes!
Wish we had more of those around Mountain Home; Trees that is.
BEAUTIFULL.....I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID.....some years back after we had a big fire they let us cut were it had been.I dont remember them letting us do it since, I do know it helped a lot because people brought out what they needed,friends got together and went for the weekend etc. great country, love it i am jealous.....take care.
Beautiful country!! We used to camp up there many years ago. I thought there wasn't anymore logging going on up in that area ?
It's always sad to see what's left of a forest after a fire has gone through it.
Thanks for sharing Jess
I agree with your thoughts. I think what we may be seeing as far as STUPID regulations is a backlash against those large corporations that have proven not to be good stewards of the land. It has been in my limited experience that the small independent logging companies are very good stewards, sadly they pay the price for the actions of companies that only worship the almighty dollar.
I'm so impressed with you all! You agree with me, and in my eyes, (which is only my eyes, cuz I'm no one special/smart/etc) You all have "common sense"
Yes, that area should have been cleaned up, and the wood could have helped sooo many people. But now, it's sat so long, the dead trees have rotted, and wouldn't really be good wood burning. Along with that, it's going to be a bit more dangerous for whoever does go in there, due to all those dead trees, just waiting for a domino affect.
I love it up here...a shame someone in D.C. tells folks 'round here 'how to do it', and they have no clue really about being caring stewards of the land.
Thanks so much for all your thoughts
Thanks hugely for not complaining that the loggers are destroying your land ...killing resources of the land, while you are sitting in a stick built house. The irony of that is worth a giggle at times.
Mike, how about tomorrow evening?
Jessie
I'd have to agree that local decisions are usually better for local people. The price of lumber has really gotten to a point where one can barely afford it anymore, especially hardwood. I have a relative who had some dead trees and a few that were near dead and needed to be taken out and used for lumber. Most of it hardwood, oak and hickory. An agent of a rather big company came by and said mark the trees and we will take them and not leave any problems. They came in and did a really good job, doing as they said. When it came time to pay they came by with a check and without looking at it they said it came to 22. Thinking $2200 hundred we thought what a great deal, no work, dead trees gone and woods cleared. When the check was looked at it said $22,000. What a nice surpise.
Skeeter, that is an awesome deal for your relatives, and in the bigger picture, a GREAT deal for our land!
The photos on the top of this blog are photos of a private property of the ranch I live/work on in the summer. So, kind of same deal as your relatives. It's being well done, by agreement of land owner and the logging company.
The pictures of later, are of a trip we took up higher, past Yellow Pine and (can't remember the names) That would be owned by BLM or whatever entity that is so wise.
I much prefer the way the private land is looking as opposed to how the land looks on the other. That land is devastated, and now basically dangerous to even be on. The trees are rotted, and could easily fall, hurting or killing whoever. I know that can happen anyway, but now it's more unpredictable, and simply a waste.) | http://www.mountainhomenews.com/blogs/1445/entry/43344/asc | 2013-05-18T10:40:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Dave's Rating:
Bite me.
It's rated PG-13.
I could cut this review off right now, make it the shortest one I've ever written, and that would explain everything you need to know about this movie. Because, seriously, if you're the kind of person who'd shell out the gouging 3D ticket price to see something called Shark Night 3D--and I am one hundred percent that kind of person, so I know you and your needs on this one, trust me--then you are going because you want NEED MORE THAN ANYTHING to see stupid humans treated like meat-and-blood-filled floatation device snacks for supernaturally aggressive sharks. You require Piranha 3D levels of insanity, mayhem, nudity and gut-chomping. But you will not get them. Not even close. By way of comparison, Soul Surfer devoted at least a dozen minutes of screen time to people reading the Bible and that was a more exciting shark attack movie than this.
So, some college kids (including American Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee -- Taylor Hicks won the show and she won this) go to a Louisiana bayou beach house, take their tops off with their backs to the camera and get eaten one by one in sleepily un-R-rated ways, thanks to a variety of digital and animatronic sharks. There's even a throwaway kill at the very beginning that rips off the opening death throes of the anonymous female swimmer in Jaws, minus the scariness. And the stabbing pain in my head right now is the nagging idea that somewhere this weekend a bored tween born in 1999 is going to see this lazy garbage-movie before getting a chance to witness that '70s classic and not know any better because his rotten parents haven't done their cinematic duty. It should be against moviegoing law.
Even more confusingly, it was delivered to your glasses-wearing face by a man who knows better. David R. Ellis is responsible for the awesomely dumb Snakes on a Plane and the just plain awesome Final Destination 2, so there's no good reason for this level of timidity and boredom. Sam Jackson should be swooping down onto the bayou on a hang glider, a special shark-killing laserblaster strapped to his chest, shouting, "THERE'S MF-ING SHARKS IN THIS MF-ING LAKE!"
Instead, the coolest moments in the entire 90 minutes involve a couple of flying shark-acrobats, Donal Logue as the shady sheriff discussing "moral relativism," some extended car-driving and boat-motoring sequences that will remind you of Manos, The Hands of Fate, exactly one split-second of pleasure in which a former American Idol contestant attacks a bad guy with a knife she has hidden in her butt cheeks and a cameo appearance by a pool toy designed specifically for playing beer pong. If you choose to watch this movie you should probably play a little of that first.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt doesn’t get nearly the credit he deserves. He started out on “3rd Rock From the Sun” on television, years ago, and moved onto some small time movies.
He showed up on my radar when he did The Lookout, and Brick, and people started noticing that he really could act.
Gordon-Levitt was cast late last night in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Inception, which we still know very little about.
That brings our main cast to: Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page.
Inception is set for a July 10th, 2010 release.
Caine to join Inception cast?
It’s no secret that Christopher Nolan casts his movies fantastically. There’s no doubt about that. He knows who he wants, and he gets that person for the role.
Rumor has it, that Michael Caine is in talks to be in Nolan’s next movie, Inception. Cillian Murphy and Ellen Page have already been confirmed as being cast. Others have been rumored, but not yet confirmed.
It’s no surprise the Nolan would want to cast Caine. For me, he was an integral part of The Prestige, and that story would not have been even remotely complete without him playing Cutter.
And who can forget his performance as Alfred in the last two Batman movies?
Should Nolan cast Caine in Inception, I’m sure whatever part he plays would be fantastic.
There’s no talk yet as to what Inception is actually about, but it’s Christopher and Jonathan Nolan writing it. What more do you need?
It’s no secret that we here at MovieSnobs love Christopher Nolan, and pretty much anything he’s done, or ever will done. When we heard about his newest movie Inception being green lit, we were thrilled.
News broke last night that Nolan’s begun scouting talent for the film, and is in talks with some big name stars to be in the movie. Who? Glad you asked.
Ellen Page (Juno), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Red Eye, Sunshine), and Marion Cotillard (Big Fish, Public Enemies), that’s who.
I’m a big fan of Cillian Murphy’s, especially after Batman Begins, and who doesn’t love Ellen Page? I can’t comment on Marion Cotillard, because I’ve never heard of her, and she’s only mostly done French films (aside from a handful of B movies).
All we know about Inception thus far is that it’s a “sci-fi” movie “based on the architecture of the mind.” Based on previous Nolan movies, it’s going to be amazing, confusing, and leave you wondering what the hell just happened.
Inception was written by Christopher Nolan and his screenwriter brother, Jonathan Nolan..
Unfortunately, Ellen Page (Juno, Hard Candy) will not be in Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell as previously reported. She has been replaced by Alison Lohman (Flicka).
The good news is that Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard, Accepted) is joining the cast. The UGO Movie Blog reports that filming will start March 31st, 2008..

Early morning is fading. Cicadas sing in the trees as the pair of cardinals feed just outside the window. My kitchen brightens as the sun clears the treetops and lights the pillows with chickens printed on the fabric.
My enduring love affair with chickens began as a small girl when my Dad brought home a batch of fuzzy little chicks. They quickly outgrew their home behind a stove that kept them warm, escaped their barriers, and started running around the room. When my mother complained that they pecked her ankles as she did the dishes, a truck arrived laden with wood. Dad built a house in the backyard. Really a mansion, complete with a sunroom for basking, a shaded bedroom, and a fenced in yard where they could run. No ordinary chicken coop, it was crowned with a lovely green turret.
My brother and I gave the chickens names and tried to teach them tricks. They were smart enough to detect when we had food, but they refused to perform for it. We never thought to count them, but one day noticed that their numbers seemed to be dwindling. That’s when we heard the muffled angry voices coming from the porch. It seems that Grandpa had enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner the night before and Dad was having none of that. They didn’t speak for weeks.
Today my pet chickens are immune to grandfathers and roving coyotes. Handcarved wooden ones from travels. Two beautifully framed miniature oils. Glass and china ones received as gifts. On one shelf a pair, one wooden, one china, seem to be singing a duet. The newest ones that brighten pillows on my kitchen chairs. I do cook and eat chicken, although unlike my grandfather, I couldn’t look one in the eye beforehand.
ITALIAN HUNTER’S CHICKEN 6 servings This is one I found in my travels. No tomatoes or peppers in it. The anchovies dissolve leaving only a hint of brine behind.
1 chicken, cut up or your choice of parts
2 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, crushed ½ cup dry white wine ½ cup chicken stock ½ teaspoon dried oregano 1 bay leaf 5 slivered black olives 3 anchovies, drained and chopped 2 tablespoons wine vinegar ½ onion, chopped
1. Coat the skillet bottom with olive oil.
2. Saute chicken pieces on medium-high heat til golden on all sides (in batches so you don’t crowd the pan); remove and set aside.
3. Pour all but enough fat from pan to coat bottom. Add the onion, garlic. Saute til softened and lightly golden. Add wine & vinegar. Raise heat to high. Boil until liquid is reduced to about ½ cup in volume. Add stock to pan; boil, scraping down any browned bits from bottom for 20 to 20 seconds..
4. Return chicken pieces to pan. Add oregano and bay leaf. Cover partially. Lower heat to medium. Simmer 30 minutes. Baste with cooking juices from time to time.
5. Transfer chicken to serving platter. Take out and discard bay leaf. Stir olives, anchovies into pan. Cook until anchovies completely dissolve. Pour sauce over chicken.. | http://www.mpnnow.com/community/blogs/linda-cooks/x186674672/CICADAS-AND-CHICKENS?rssfeed=true | 2013-05-18T10:55:39 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Spielberg Galloping Back to War
Steven Spielberg has completed principal casting for his next movie, War Horse. The staring role of Albert will showcase British actor Jeremy Irvine, best known for his work on a tv show called “Life Bites.”
War Horse, is drawn from the wonderful 1982 story by M. Morpurgo that follows the relationship between between Joey, a British military horse serving in on the battle strewn fields of France in WW I, and Albert, his teenage owner. The pair become separated but remain intertwined as they try to survive the hell of war.
Spielberg is once again splitting his cast between celebrities and unknowns, although unlike his previous war film, Saving Private Ryan, War Horse will emphasize the unknowns.. | http://www.mrmovietimes.com/movie-news/spielberg-galloping-back-to-war/ | 2013-05-18T10:54:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I completely understand your accessment of population by state as a factor in your overall determination, too bad that isn't acknowledged in the replies. But as an accessment tool, its the least important determinent in the overall equasion. Since you identified major markets it might have been helpful to gather nielson data (as if that were readily available) to show number of viewers in that market that actually watched college football and specifically the ratings for a school in question. A recent article I read indicated that the viewership for Bama football games in B'ham was a whooping 85 share. Having lived in Jax, FL for 20 years I had determined that outside of UF, FSU & UGA (in that order) Bama had the largest alumni within the metro area. So, your attempts are to be commended but the research to be relied upon would need to be much more detailed and thorough.
In Part 3 of our SEC expansion series, we wanted to look total population. In addition to television households — which we looked at in Part 2 — leagues are hoping to increase their overall influence. You do that by reaching more people, total.
There’s also a financial side to expanding a league’s population base. First, there’s the obvious opportunity to convert new fans and sell more tickets, more caps and more t-shirts. All that’s well and good, but there’s a greater reason than merchandise sales. Let’s take Texas A&M, for example. Now that the SEC has a Texas-based school with a huge alumni base in its ranks, viewership for SEC games in the Lone Star State should rise. That’s added exposure for every SEC school that A&M plays.
Do a little research and you’ll find that schools like George Mason and Boise State actually see a jump in student applications (and alumni donations) after reaching a Final Four or BCS bowl game. So being seen by a percentage of the 25 million Texas residents could lead to more applications for the SEC’s schools. More students (or better students) equals more money long-term. Applicants become students become graduates become donors. That’s how you keep money flowing into a school decade-in and decade-out.
Just last summer, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany mentioned as one reason for expansion the continued population shift from the Rust Belt and Midwest toward the South. His league eyed ways to get into the South, but it didn’t pan out for them last year. Still, the fact that they were looking shows the importance of total population when it comes to conference expansion.
This Category: Total State Population
Why: Is it fair to suggest that a school in one corner of a state will reach and influence residents across that entire state? No. But it’s just about the best shorthand method we have. It’s impossible to measure a school’s true sphere of dominant influence. So we’ll just look at the each school’s home state and tally up the population base that the school could theoretically add to the league. One last note — schools currently located in SEC states obviously bring no new population to the league.
* Now, do Baylor or TCU truly influence as many Texans as Texas or Texas A&M? Of course not. But the potential is there.
* It’s clear why West Virginia, Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State are considered to be BCS schools that might have to fight to finding a landing spot in a realigned world. Grab one of those schools and the league doing the grabbing isn’t reaching many new folks.
For comparison, here is how the SEC stacks up:
* After looking at television households in Part 2 and total population in Part 3, it’s a good thing the Mississippi schools and Arkansas are already in the SEC. If they were on the outside looking in at this point, the business of expansion might leave them searching for a home just like West Virginia and the Kansas schools.
* The average population of an SEC state is 6.5 million people.
Up next in Part 4, we’ll actually take location into consideration.
[...] Part 3: Total State Population provided an indication of the number of potential fans, cable households, and future students/alumni/donors living in a school’s home state. [...]

SEC. 81-9-71. Final report and dissolution of the corporation.
(1) When the affairs of the bank shall be completely liquidated, or liquidated in so far as it is practical for the directors so to do, they shall make, or cause to be made, to the chancery court of the county in which the corporation is domiciled a final report, the correctness of which shall be sworn to by at least one director of the corporation, either upon personal knowledge or upon information and belief, after a careful examination of the report. Such report shall include the gross amount of collections and the total amount of all disbursements to common creditors, depositors, or other claimants, and the amount of all dividends on hand belonging to common creditors, stockholders, or others, which for any reason have not been distributed and they shall also file as part of such report the following books and records of said corporation, to wit: The journal and the general ledger kept by the corporation and the minute book of the corporation and also the ledger showing the amount due each depositor and other creditors at the time the corporation was created and upon which dividends were paid, or such other books, set of books, or records used by or that were set up by said corporation which reveal the above enumerated facts, and if available the audit of the department of bank supervision showing all assets and liabilities of the bank in liquidation.
(2) The directors shall file a petition for their discharge and a dissolution of the corporation with their report, and the final report together with said petition shall remain on file subject to the inspection of any person interested for the time and in the manner hereinafter provided. Upon the filing of said petition and report in the chancery clerk's office in the county in which the corporation is domiciled, the clerk shall immediately notify the chancellor by registered mail of the filing of said petition and report whereupon the chancellor by order entered upon the minutes of the court shall direct the clerk of the court to have a notice published in some newspaper in the county wherein the corporation is domiciled, or if none is so published, then in some newspaper having a general circulation therein, which notice shall state that the liquidation of the bank has been completed and that the final report of the directors and petition for their discharge and dissolution of the corporation are on file; that unless written objection is filed with the clerk of the court within forty-five (45) days from the date of the first publication of the notice, all persons shall be forever precluded from filing any claim against the bank, corporation, or the directors and officers, and from questioning any of the acts of the directors or officers except for fraud. Said notice shall be published once a week for four successive weeks.
(3) Should the directors have dividends on hand belonging to the depositors, creditors, stockholders or others which have not been distributed, the notice hereinabove referred to shall specify this fact, and shall give the name of each party who is entitled to such dividend, but it shall not be necessary to give the amount thereof. The notice shall direct that said parties call for said dividends prior to the day set for the filing of written objections, otherwise their claim thereto shall be forfeited. On the day of the final hearing if there are dividends on hand which have not been called for, the directors shall not be discharged, or the corporation dissolved, but the chancellor by order entered on the minutes of the court shall direct the directors to make distribution of such unclaimed dividends to the known depositors and creditors pro rata; provided, that in the event the known depositors and creditors have already been paid in full, such unclaimed dividends shall be distributed to the stockholders pro rata.
(4) If on the day of the final hearing there are no dividends on hand for distribution and there have been no objections filed to the discharge of the directors and the dissolution of the corporation, the chancellor shall enter an order granting the discharge of the directors and a dissolution of the corporation. If there are dividends on hand, the chancellor shall direct their distribution as above provided. Should written objections be filed to the discharge of the directors and the dissolution of the corporation within the time above provided, the chancellor shall set the matter for hearing in vacation or term time as he may deem proper, and the same shall be proceeded with as any other action in chancery. In no event shall anyone be permitted to file objections after the time specified in the notice above provided for.
(5) Should there be any dividends not called for at the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the date the chancellor orders the distribution as provided in subsection (3) hereof, the directors shall pay the same to the state comptroller who shall hold the same for parties entitled thereto for a period of one year from the date of the order of the chancellor directing the distribution. If said funds are not called for before the expiration of said period, the owners shall lose all right thereto, and the state comptroller shall pay the same, or so much thereof as remains in his hands, into the state treasury. Upon the directors making the distribution provided for in subsection (3) hereof, either by paying said funds to the parties entitled thereto, or by paying the same or a part thereof to the state comptroller, they shall report such fact to the chancellor, who shall enter his decree granting the discharge of the directors and the dissolution of the corporation, and the court or chancellor in vacation, shall have the power and authority during the course of proceedings under this section to make all such orders as he may deem right and proper to fully carry out the purposes of this section.
(6) When the final decree of the discharge and dissolution is entered by the court or chancellor in vacation, it shall be the duty of the clerk to immediately turn over to the state comptroller all the books of the corporation which have been filed with said cause and take a receipt from said comptroller therefor and file said receipt with the papers in said cause. It shall be the duty of the state comptroller to receive said books, and receipt therefor and to file and preserve the same in his office as other bank records.

Capped (clipped, whatever) sound with Audigy sound card
#1
Posted 09 November 2012 - 05:45 AM
Anyone who encountered this type of problem or have any advice is kindly asked to help me. Thanks.
Those are the specs:
- Sound card: Creative Labs X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series
- Headphones: Sennheiser HD550 (used directly on sound card front panel)
- Active speakers: Genius SP-HF 2020 (used via sound card coaxial output and sound card analogue output, both front panel and back)
- AV receiver: Denon AVR-1509 (used via sound card optical output and listened to both headphones and passive speakers)
- Sound card driver (reported by Windows): Creative SB X-Fi ver. 6.0.1.1375 (5/5/2010)
- Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Ultimate with Service Pack 1
- Computer power supply: Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2

I had the luxury of using the same soundcard I have in my Windows 7 PC when that PC had Windows XP. The problems did not occur in XP. Also, surround sound never seems to work in the OS itself, but does for games.
I will say that you could still have a hardware problem with the card itself, you could check the caps for bulges or leaks.

Posted 09 November 2012 - 10:20 AM
Good think you mentioned games. Those (and movies) seems to sound ok. Only in music this problem. Wonder why. I only use it on stereo devices (headphones, speakers, amplifiers), never on multichannel.
What do you mean by caps ? Sorry, English is not my first language. Do you mean the capacitors ? They do look ok, no swelling or any signs of failure by visual inspection.

Posted 12 November 2012 - 09:23 AM
If this is the case, it may only be certain songs or types of songs that cause this problem. I have some MP3s that include both a wide range of sounds that I cannot trust Windows 7 to play accurately. These particular songs experience the clipping problem when I play them from an external device through my car stereo, but do not when played through my franken-stereo I built for myself.
I wonder if this problem you experience happens with all songs or just certain ones.

And another thing I don't get it. SPDIF (coaxial and optical) is a digital interface. Why I can alter the volume in Windows or sound properties, mixer, sound card control panel, whatever and I can still get an effect via the digital output ? I thought you can only alter the volume on the analogue side (I mean AFTER the digital-analogue conversion), to listen to sound card's analogue output (headphones or front line-out speakers), not digital. I thought via digital sound is only bypassed ?!?

So we already know that Windows 7 does make changes to audio levels by itself in some way, as you have seen with multiple audio sources, and as experienced by me and others. So far none of us has determined a particular method of disabling this other than using another operating system. So in order to fully test your system you will need to try a different source to see if it is a problem with the software or the hardware.
If you have another hard drive and can install XP on it with drivers, etc and try to duplicate the sound dropping problem. If you do not have an XP to install, you could probably get away with using the Windows Embedded Standard 2009 Trial.
Or I suppose you could even install Linux and attempt to recreate the behaviour.

Try disconnecting the front panel from the card and testing the line-out and speaker outputs directly off the card. Headphones are usually higher impedance than speakers. Check the manual to see what the card supports (without the front panel headphone amplifier). Make sure you test all outputs with appropriate impedance-matched playback devices.
The on-card and/or front-panel amps for the headphone and speaker outputs could be blown. The line-outs from the card to self-powered (amplified) speakers or a hi-fi system should provide the best sound quality. The external amplification can then deliver all the volume you desire.

The front panel is optimized for headphones output, a headphone is supposed to go in that socket in the front, with proper impedance. I suppose it's not like in the back. But I do have now connected external self-powered speakers via coaxial output from the front panel anyway. I also used the optical out in the past, with an external receiver. It works best, but still not like it did when I bought the card. I am afraid to further use the receiver to not damage it, if sound card is faulty.
What I don't get it is why I can control the output volume via mixer even on digital outputs ? Those volume controls act on digital level ? I thought only on finals (I mean via analogue outputs, the 3.5 mm connectors at the back).
Still, what puzzles me the most is why if the sound is recorded loud int he first place, everything works ok, since I don't need to raise the volume. If the sound is recorded low, I have to raise the volume on the sound card and then it gets capped, like sound card doesn't have enough power (like occurring in clipping). But how much power can a common sound card use ? Certainly not much.

Another thing I noticed is that problems appear on "rich" passages of music, I mean with lots of instruments, voice, all sort of frequencies and harmonics. With simple sounds, on few channels, looks ok. Also, on movies and games, it seems ok. Another thing is the Windows 7 mixer (which I don't get it). I attached a picture. Please look at the annotations on the picture.
Edit: I downloaded a third party VU-meter and sound level is at -10 dB at max, I believe it's way too low, don't know if that's what is causing problems or not.

In the picture, the VU meter pointed to by the arrow show no color and appears to also be indicating low playback volume being sent to the system mixer. Press Alt+G to check WinAmp's internal equalizer and preamp levels.
>Another thing is the Windows 7 mixer (which I don't get it). I attached a picture.
Are you saying that clicking on the Mixer button at the botton of the System Volume control does nothing? Try double-clicking on the Volume control in the systray to open the mixer.
Once you find the system mixer, report the levels found there. Make sure you select all volume controls in Options->Properties.
You should also explore the Audio tab of the Multimedia Control Panel, especially Playback: Advanced Settings->Performance.

Mitchell guides South Side past Roslyn
Photo by Kevin P Coughlin
Gerald Mitchell has an answer for everything.
On two separate occasions late in the fourth quarter, Roslyn got a little to close for comfort and Mitchell answered with a three that helped South Side hold on for a 62-59 win Saturday in Conference A-I. When asked about showing no hesitation to shoot big shots at crucial stages in the game, Mitchell once again provided a simple answer.
"I knew it was going in," he said. "I felt it."
What was once a 14-point South Side third-quarter lead evaporated to two after Harris Silverstein (11 points) hit an off-balance three on a broken play and, on the ensuing possession, drained an open three to make it 57-55 with just under two minutes remaining.
Despite looking unusually vulnerable, the favored Cyclones calmly moved the ball around the perimeter until Darren Nickelson found Mitchell open for a corner three that increased the lead to five.
Mark Gjonlekaj, who finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds, hit two free throws on each of Roslyn's next two possessions to cut the lead to one with 49.1 seconds left. Mitchell, who came off the bench to score seven of his nine points in the fourth quarter, responded with a free throw of his own to make it a two-point game with 14.1 seconds to go.
Roslyn had two opportunities to tie the game on in-bounds plays that created shots down low but were unable to convert. Down by three with no timeouts and three seconds remaining, a full-court in-bounds pass was intercepted by South Side's Ryan Spadaford to seal the win.
"We didn't execute," South Side coach Jerry D'Angelo said of the blown lead. "We had moments where we played outside of ourselves. We played more as individuals than as a team . . . But we got big shots by Gerald Mitchell, we had some nice defensive stances and we beared down on those two out-of-bounds plays."
Roslyn initially made it a one possession game after Malik Forte opened the fourth quarter with a putback followed by a three-pointer. But Mitchell hit the first of his two fourth quarter treys to bring the lead back to five at 53-47 with 4:10 remaining.
It was the third consecutive heartbreaker for Roslyn (2-4), which has now lost its last three games by one possession margins.
Spadaford scored nine of his 14 points in the first half to help South Side take a 34-22 lead into the break. Nickelson finished with 12 points and eight assists as the Cyclones improved to 6-0.
"We're coming out greedy because last season we lost in the first round and it was a really big upset and everyone was surprised," Spadaford said. "We just want revenge, we want to win the county." | http://www.msgvarsity.com/mitchell-guides-south-side-past-roslyn-1.912821?mode=www | 2013-05-18T10:53:47 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

News Release
MSHA Offers Interactive Compliance Training on HazCom
ARLINGTON, Va. - The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) today announced the availability of interactive training for mine operators on compliance with its recently issued standards on hazard communication.
The hazard communication interactive training program, found on MSHA's web site, provides guidelines for complying with the hazard communication, or HazCom, standard that requires operators to provide information about hazardous chemicals to their workers.
"This interactive training is the first of its kind to be offered by our agency and we feel it will provide useful assistance to mine operators who need to understand the new HazCom standard and its requirements," said Dave D. Lauriski, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "Compliance assistance is key to providing miners with increased protection."
The interactive training program can be found under "HazCom" on MSHA's homepage at in the "special initiatives" section. The course contains several lessons covering topics related to compliance with the new HazCom standard. The program also contains a template for operators to use in developing their own hazard communication program.
The new HazCom rule is strictly an information and training standard and does not set exposure limits. It requires operators to know what chemicals they have on mine property, to identify those that are hazardous, and to inform miners about their potential exposure and means of protection. To help operators comply with Hazcom, MSHA is also conducting workshops and publishing HazCom training materials that can be used at mine sites.
The new standard becomes effective on Sept. 23, 2002, for mining operations employing more than five miners. It becomes effective on March 21, 2003, for operations employing five or fewer miners. | http://www.msha.gov/MEDIA/PRESS/2002/NR020826.HTM | 2013-05-18T10:13:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

In 1972, the United States government created the Clean Water Act to ensure the protection of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of U.S. waters. Therefore, impacting aquatic resources, including wetlands and streams, often requires a Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. To receive a permit, developers must demonstrate avoidance and minimization of damages to aquatic resources to the extent practicable – beyond which compensatory mitigation to restore, establish, enhance, or preserve those aquatic resources is required.
Mitigation Solutions USA (MSUSA) can help you fulfill this requirement, keeping your project moving forward.
MSUSA understands the environmental mitigation process from concept and development through the sale and transfer of environmental credits, adhering strictly to regulatory requirements. In addition to our extensive knowledge of ecological and environmental regulations, our longstanding relationship with the team of environmental scientists at Advanced Ecology means that we have ecological knowledge and experience on hand to assist with your solution. | http://www.msusa.com/company/company.html | 2013-05-18T10:40:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Ultrasound Instructions
Welcome to the Ultrasound Department. We have been a part of Mountain Kidney & Hypertension Associates since 2002 and are accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL). Our two technologists, Sue and Robin, are both Registered Vascular Technologists and Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographers. We have performed more than 6,000 exams.
Also called sonography, ultrasound is a simple imaging procedure that bounces high-frequency sound waves off parts of the body. The reflected echoes are recorded and displayed as a visual image. Because these images can also show motion, ultrasound is used for a variety of applications, including studying blood flow through arteries and veins (this part of the exam is known as Doppler). No radiation or injections are used in ultrasound imaging which makes this modality an extremely safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool. Pacemakers, defibrillators and metal rods or pins are not affected by ultrasound.
As part of the procedure, you will be asked to lie first on your back, then on your sides. You may be asked to hold your breath occasionally, but for the most part, you should lie quietly, relax and breathe normally. The technologist will begin by applying a water based gel to the area to be evaluated and then a small microphone-like device called a transducer is pressed firmly against the skin and swept back and forth over the area of interest. Pictures are taken and sent to a computer where your study will be read by one of our four doctors who specialize in the interpretation of ultrasound and Doppler images. The technologist will not give you the results of your test. A report will be sent to the physician who referred you for the test and he/she will notify you of the results.
Allow 30-60 minutes for the exam and wear loose, comfortable clothes. For most exams you will not need to change out of your clothes. For the Vein Mapping study, we will need to access the entire length of both arms, so dress accordingly. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the test and there are no side effects.
We perform the following types of studies:
- Diagnostic Renal Ultrasound -- this exam assesses the kidneys to determine size, shape and to detect a mass, cyst, stone or other obstruction in the kidney.
- Renal Artery Doppler Ultrasound -- this exam evaluates blood flow to the kidneys to determine if there is a narrowing or blockage of the renal arteries (also called stenosis or renovascular disease). The abdominal aorta is also evaluated. You will hear pulse-like sounds during this test and this is normal.
- Transplant Renal Ultrasound and Renal Artery Doppler -- same as above for a transplanted kidney.
Preparation for the above exams is as follows:
- For morning appointments, do not eat food or drink liquids after midnight the night before your exam.
- Take medications as usual with a small amount of water.
- For noon or later appointments, do not eat food or drink liquids 6 hours prior to your exam.
- Do not smoke or chew gum prior to your exam as they can increase stomach gas.
We also perform these studies:
- Diagnostic Bladder Ultrasound-- this exam evaluates the bladder to detect a mass and is also used to measure the amount of urine remaining in the bladder after voiding.
- Upper Extremity Vein Mapping Ultrasound -- this exam evaluates the size of the veins and arteries in the arms and assesses the suitability for a fistula (dialysis access) in the event that one may be needed in the future.
If you are having only a Vein Mapping or Bladder ultrasound, there is no preparation for these exams. If you are having one of these tests combined with a Renal ultrasound or Renal Artery Doppler, you must follow the fasting prep outlined above.

Alicia Keys has been killing people with her musical gifts ever since was 5 years old. Now she'll be killing them much more literally.
The multiplatinum artist is in talks to make her acting debut in "Smokin' Aces," an action comedy that would cast the songstress as a ruthless assassin. Keys is expected to star alongside Ryan Reynolds ("The Amityville Horror"), Jeremy Piven (TV's "Entourage") and, in a smaller role, Ben Affleck. The Grammy-winning Keys would be hoisting her gun for another award-worthy talent, as the film will mark director Joe Carnahan's first effort since his critically acclaimed 2002 drama "Narc."
With a plot straight out of the "48 Hours"/ "Midnight Run" playbook, "Aces" casts Reynolds as an FBI agent masterminding a manhunt for a loudmouthed standup comedian (Piven). With the comic making plans to testify against the mafia, Keys and a collection of fellow hired killers seek to cash in on the contract on his life. As Reynolds' character attempts to bring the squealing joker into police custody, the comedian insists on entertaining one last Tahoe crowd.
Piven, recently nominated for an Emmy for his character of Hollywood agent Ari Gold in "Entourage," is also well-known for his comedic work in films like "Old School" and "PCU." Affleck, who has kept a fairly low profile since the underperforming quadrilogy of "Gigli," "Paycheck," Jersey Girl" and "Surviving Christmas," would be adding "Aces" to a handful of potential-comeback vehicles currently in development.
Keys, a former child prodigy who has previously flirted with Hollywood by contributing songs to the "Shaft" and "Men in Black" soundtracks, had previously signed a deal with Sony to portray piano player Philippa Schuyler in a film based on the book "Compositions in Black and White" (see "Alicia Keys To Play Biracial Piano Prodigy In First Movie"). "Smokin' Aces" would likely leapfrog "Compositions" on Keys' upcoming production slate.

Shot over 16 days, the video includes everything from a party on a pirate ship to Macklemore running through the wilderness while wearing a wolf head. The awe-inspiring scenes, including a frat party and a performance on top of a skyscraper, could easily have been made into music videos on their own.
The video ends with a flag showing the words The Heist, which also doubles as the items connecting all the seemingly unrelated scenes, flying high on top of the Seattle Space Needle, a shout out the band’s hometown.
Ryan Lewis, Macklemore and Ray Dalton have been busy promoting Can’t Hold Us, the second single from The Heist, playing Saturday Night Live in March and performing at this past weekend’s MTV Movie Awards.

With the amazing news that gay marriage has become legalized in three more states in the US this week, including Washington, Maine and Maryland, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ video for Same Love, showing one man’s journey of coming out, couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
In Same Love, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis put story telling to music, talking about everything from parents to religion to laws and how they all affect one’s view of themselves as gay. Rapping the lines “When kids aren’t walking around the hallway, plagued by pain in their heart from a world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are. And a certificate on paper ain’t gonna solve it all, but it’s a damn good place to start” the duo dream of a world when sexual orientation no longer defines individuals.
Mary Lambert’s addition to the song with her sweet chorus keeps the heavy subject matter accessible to a wider audience, which is especially important for not only an amazing song, but one with a message that cannot be silenced.

Pot?
Discuss this in the MuggleNet Chat. into a script that can often encroach into the realms of the too sinister. Absent of any actual patients, the stage time is entirely dominated by a team of staff who have little interest of those in their care.
Holding the fort of this unpleasant institute is Roote, the self-obsessed ex-colonel who is both grappling to retain control of this establishment and struggling to retain his last vestiages of sanity as his mind is slowly failing him. Fresh from this BAFTA win the night before, Simon Russell Beale is brilliantly funny and an utter joy to watch as he fumbles around oblivious to his manipulation by his colleagues, John Simm’s manic, power hungry Gibbs and the deranged nurse, Miss Cutts played by Indira Varma. These powerhouse performances are perfectly pitched alongside the suspiciously affable Lush (John Heffernan) and Harry Melling’s endearingly naive Lamb. The latter’s performance was often among the hardest to watch as the well-meaning Lamb falls fowl of some Gibb’s more alarming experiments; indeed these moments certainly confirmed Melling’s status as among some of Britain’s most exciting new stage talent.
Both entertaining and alarming, The Hothouse is certainly an experience to behold.
The Hothouse runs until 3rd August at the Trafalgar Studios, London. For more information or to book tickets, visit the website.

Rupert Grint brought the party to Stroud when he attended his sister's gig this weekend.
Performing with her band The Ghost of Samantha, Samantha Grint was part of the line-up for Kick Start the Summer, a fundraising event in aid of local youth project The Door.
Rupert arrived in time to watch his younger sister but, as usual, went the extra mile for his fans and hung around, signing things and taking photographs. One of the event's staff commented that although "it was all very last minute [...] he was really down to earth".
It's nice to see Rupert enjoying some family time after the disappointing news about Super Clyde, don't you agree. monies!

By Sean Liu, International Bilingual School at Hsinchu
THIMUN delegates, like many high-schoolers, love to dance. Here are a few of our delegates with their favorite dance moves.
Albert Liao (International Bilingual School at Hsinchu), the delegate of Ireland of GA2, and Leo Simon (Lycee Francais de Singapour), the delegate of India of GA5, both enjoy “The Shuffle,” a popular running-in-place dance move.
Justina Huang (Shanghai American School), the delegate of Lebanon of the Security Council, prefers more individualistic and surprising dance moves, such as “The Fist Eater” and “The Bark.”
Sid Singh (German European School), the delegate of the Russian Federation of GA5, loves imitating rhythm and blues artist Jason Derulo by shuffling his feet. He calls it “The Jason Derulo Move.”
Kathy Chow (International Bilingual School at Hsinchu), the delegate of Malawi of GA6, expresses herself best through “The Wave,” where she waves her hands to imitate the sea, and “The Cool Step,” in which she elegantly moves her arms and legs back and forth.
In addition to delegates, MUN advisors delight in dancing too. Ms. Elizabeth Wyant, the advisor for the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu, reminisces about Michael Jackson as she performs his moonwalk. | http://www.munity-east.com/?tag=delegate | 2013-05-18T11:02:37 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Many people struggle with fat loss. Many have limited success, but then are hindered in their progress after dropping the first five pounds or, worse, fall along the wayside before even seeing much in the way of results.
If this describes your fat loss experience then you are probably falling into one of the following 5 common pitfalls that lay along the fat loss journey.
Fat Loss Deterrent #1 – Lack of Patience
A popular reason for wanting to lose body fat is because an important event is coming up and you want to look good for it. Business meetings, class or family reunions, weddings, summer beach vacations, etc can all provide good motivation for fat loss. However, you have to keep in mind that it took a good amount of time to pack on those pounds and it will take some time and effort to get rid of them as well.
You might jump into a weight loss program full force only to lose steam when you don’t feel you’re getting the results fast enough. In order to overcome this pitfall, give yourself sufficient time to get into shape and lose body fat. Also, keep at your program because the first several weeks are not only the hardest in regards to physical effort, but also in fat loss results. However, if you stay at it faithfully then you will eventually start seeing those coveted results which provide further motivation to press harder towards your fat loss goal.
Fat Loss Deterrent #2 – Fighting Against Yourself
This is a biggy! You muster up the gumption to hit the gym and get in a pretty good workout. However, once the sweating is over, you proudly pat yourself on the back, head home and hit the couch for several hours of television entertainment. What’s more, you pick up the phone to call and order a pizza with everything on it accompanied by potato chips and a liter of soda.
The problem with such a scenario is that this is exactly how you gained all that extra weight in the first place. Unfortunately, hitting a weight loss program a few days a week without changing such habits won’t produce desired results. Help yourself lose weight by taking additional walks, parking further from destinations, taking the stairs, signing up for a summer sporting event, or other forms of activity that get you off the couch and moving.
Fat Loss Deterrent #3 – Not Using Enough Resistance
Another mistake many people make is doing only cardio exercises to lose weight. Although cardio is an effective means for losing weight, it does not provide sufficient results alone. At least half of your weight loss program should incorporate resistance training as well.
Free weights, weight machines and bodyweight exercises are all effective resistance exercises. Resistance training will help to increase your metabolic rate allowing you to burn more calories efficiently, even after the workout is over.
Fat Loss Deterrent #4 – Lack of Intensity
Even if you are combining resistance training and aerobics in your weight loss program, if you’re only tackling the exercises half-heartedly, you will fail in your weight loss efforts. Both aerobic exercises and weight training need to be performed with intensity in order to lose adequate body fat. When you arrive at the gym to perform your workout, focus on the task at hand and hit your exercises hard.
An intense workout includes using heavy weights that will challenge you and put adequate stress on your muscles. Muscle mass is obtained by stressing the muscles to failure and that can’t be accomplished with small dumbbells and low weight. The plus with developing muscle mass is that muscle uses much more energy which will help to burn up more of those pesky stores of belly fat. In order to maximize weight loss, chose compound exercises that work more than one muscle group over isolated exercises.
Fat Loss Deterrent #5 – Changing Programs before Completion
If you want to get results in fat loss, you have to stick with your weight loss program through completion. Lots of folks get tired or frustrated with a program and change to another when they don’t get the results they’re looking for as fast as they hoped. Or, people will change programs because they come across another catchy cure-all that promises the world. Go back to deterrent #1, muster up some patience and work your program. If you are training effectively according to these tips then you will eventually see fat loss results. | http://www.muscleprodigy.com/5-reasons-you-fail-at-fat-loss-arcl-2962.html | 2013-05-18T10:30:37 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Shop Rubber Bumper Plates
Buy Olympic Bumper Plate Sets On Sale With Free Shipping!
We carry a large selection of rubber bumper plates from several manufacturers, available in kilograms and pound measurements. As always, our prices can't be beat and all bumper plates and weight sets ship free!
Rubber bumper plates are made of high density rubber that allows them to be dropped onto a hard surface without damage to the weights, floor, or the bar. The weights are made to fit on Olympic sized bars and are often used for explosive movements such as power cleans,clean and jerk, snatch, high pulls and more.
Olympic bumper plates are all the same diameter regardless of weight so that no matter what the load, the height and feel of the bar remains the same. The width of each plate determines the actual weight, in kilograms or pounds, of the rubber bumpers themselves. While rubber coated iron plates will keep your weights from killing your floors when you put them down a bit firmly, they are not a substitute for actual bumper plates.
When looking to buy bumper plate weights you should take into consideration the bounce, accuracy of the indicated weight and durability of the plates. High bounce plates usually contain a higher amount of recycled rubber material and are usually cheaper. These are typically economy or entry-level models. Low bounce plates are made of a higher quality rubber and as the name implies, bounce very little regardless of load or height at which the bar is dropped.
Weight accuracy is very important if you intend to use your bumper plates for serious training or competition. Each manufacturer and each model have individual specifications for weight tolerance and it usually listed under the additional features section of our site. This measurement can range from +/- 10 grams to over a kilo so you definitely want to look at this specification before making a buying decision. | http://www.musclesandcurves.com/weight-lifting-equipment/weights-dumbbells/rubber-bumper-plates-weight.html?bumperplate_color=94&bumperplates_weight=213&price=2%2C100 | 2013-05-18T10:42:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Can't resist a wise saying here:
SILENCE IS CONSENT!
Also ANTI - could you ask Rick D to come to the Muse to explain to us too on this thread. It would be good if you could. We have participated in this story therefore we have become involved. The questions concerning his behavior have been public as posted on the Muse forum, so it would be good if he has the public space (HERE THIS THREAD) to put his side of the story/explanation.

I mean it must have been one hell of an explaination. I am willing to give Rick the benifit of the doubt, however, with the enourmity and extent of all this I just hope Rick understands and appreciates what he has done here. If the stories all through this thread are true, and I have no reason to doubt any of it, it seems the task of putting things straight is HUGE. I for one havent heard anything from any of the guys yet, but then technically, due to our agreement, I ended up not paying monies anyway so maybe I dont qualify for this replenishment, tho I would like to at least hear my songs..lol
Russ, just be real shrude from now on mate, ask for proof of everything, Im sure the guys will understand, after all it would be ludicrous NOT to understand that you want reassurance at every step of the way from now on.
Good Luck Bud

I'm starting to think Rick may have been placating and satisfying one of his victims, with a view to keeping the others off his back. Union breaking tactics!
Come out RICK - your audience is waiting.

Posted 02 August 2004 - 03:20 AM
I haven't been able to get back to these boards in a long time, and when I read the posting about Rick my stomach hit the floor. I mentioned to John many months ago, that I knew him. I have never been in the business of bad-mouthing anyone without proof, so I kept my personal dealings and that of my clients to myself.
If you recall there was a posting asking for information on a song shark company in Nashville, and I danced my way around saying "Stay Away" by pointing out that anytime anyone asks you for money in regard to your music, run.
Anyway, several people I represent have stated that they had been ripped off by Rick in the past. However, he is some-what well known, and a small company like myself cannot stay in business by making unfounded allegations.
I want to point out "unfounded", most of the time you will get an oral contract or a very loose open-ended contract which in the end promises you nothing.
I cannot say strongly enough - Get an attorney, preferably an entertainment attorney who will be familliar with most scams, and knows how to read the fine print.
Most importantly you should never pay to have a producer, artist or publisher demo your songs. Further be very careful about contests where you send in lyrics and they send you a contract in which you pay to have music written for your song. Most of the time the music is the same for several hundred people, and they will own 1/2 the copyright on your dime.
I have met Rick at various functions, but I do not know him personally, so I cannot speak to his guilt or innoncence - simply that I have been told by my clients that he ripped them off. My clients came to me shortly after they claim they were ripped off.
In this case the only thing it cost you was your time and hope, but if you ask me that can be more precious than any dollar amount. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you.
Sorry to hear about all of this,

Sandra, this confuses me, as I have always understood that some companies provide a demo service, bona fide, that is to say they take your songs and produce a pitchable demo for a fee, are you saying never to use these services either? I mean even the Guild of International Songwriters & Composers offers such services and these are the very kind of groups thats are set up to guide and assist us people. I use/used a production services, are you saying it may be unscrupulous?
Can you give a very brief ( and free, sorry) description of what rights if any a producer has over your work if he/she creates a full production of a song, please? pretty please?
Preciate it

Posted 02 August 2004 - 05:29 PM
I would assume the Sandra was not talking about paying someone to produce a demo. I think she was probably talking about someone who acts as a publisher or producer and promises you big things if you pay them $x. What it comes down to is if you sign some contract that gives the publisher or producer an interest in your work down the road, THEY should be paying for the demos or whatever. I think that is what she was trying to get at. But of course, she can come in and correct me if I misunderstood.
Having a demo studio record a demo for you is fine and maybe necessary. In fact some smaller, yet reputable, publishing companies will insist that you give them a pitchable demo as they can't afford to do demos on everything they pitch. Works out the same in the end (assuming your song makes any money) because the publisher generally recoups the demo cost anyway

Posted 03 August 2004 - 01:35 AM
I only offer a bit of advice, I've heard terrible stories about unscrupulous people taking advantage of creative people. We all want the next big hit, or to become the next big star, and the truth is there is simply no easy road to get there, and if someone tries to sell you the easy road, look twice - better yet let an attorney do the looking for you.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but did you sign any rights over? If you haven't, then you retain all rights to your creative works. Clarify the question a bit, and I will do my best to answer.

OK?I told you guys I was going to do a little research. I have found out something. I contacted the manager of an artist that has been working with Rick (Russ knows who she is). I will give you the full text of the response except for changing the names. Russ knows Rick was working with this artist as well, so I think between the two of us we can vouch for the source?

This is Buck Rodgers, BDBDBD?s dad & Manager. The CD is done and will be released soon. The Web Site is down but will be up & running within 5-7 days. Also, a video will be completed in the months ahead when BDBDBD has time, she will be going to college in the fall. We have had a very good working relationship with Rick and he has put a lot of time & money into BDBDBD's project and has not ask us for any money. We feel he is a man of his word! My daughter co-wrote 5 of the songs on the new album and pick all the songs that will be on the album. Rick is a very talented individual. Sorry you feel the way you do and we do not believe he would screw anyone unless there was a very good reason. His ex-partner was the one who was not handling things right and Rick is no longer associated with him. There are always two sides to a story and before people start judging one another they shound make sure they have all the true facts.
Larry
Now?don?t hate me because I post the results of what I am finding
I also was able to talk to Rick this evening. I won?t get into all the reasons given for what happened, but suffice it to say he took the blame for people not getting what they were promised as it was ultimately his responsibility. He also assured me that he would contact the people who were affected by this and make things right. I will let him hash out the terms of ?making it right? with the individuals, but it sounded fair to me.
I am not a shill for Rick, but I ultimately like to be fair. How about this? There are 4 or 5 people here (including me) who are involved in this. If you are one of these folks and Rick comes through for you, why don?t we post that here in this thread as well? This is kind of a public record and in all fairness, I think we should let people know if amends are made. If they aren?t, then the record will stand.
Whaddaya think?
#65
Posted 04 August 2004 - 10:39 PM
But I would very much like to know if Rick does contact the folks here who think they've been done wrong by.
Ultimately, this whole deal annoys the hell outta me. I feel responsible for promoting someone I thought was legitimate - only to have people dissatisfied. That reflects badly on me and this site, and I don't like it. Not one bit.
If Rick would like to log in and defend himself, this is the thread for it. I'm certainly willing to listen. But I really hope he's planning on making ammends. A.N.T.I. certainly didn't deserve to be treated like that.

I will share that here when I get it. Until I get more info, however, I will not discuss any details. However, I will say, it doesn?t smell good so far.
Apparently, Rick is using my name as a reference of some sort. Russ said he mentioned my name to him somewhere in this process and I was contacted by another member here who he had given my name to who, unfortunately, I recommended Rick before the poo hit the fan. I feel terrible about that and have apologized and we have made our peace (he sent money and got nothing back as well).
Ok, so I'm that guy, the one that (I think) contacted John about Rick to begin with, and I can't believe I missed this thread (thanks John for letting me know).
My story sounds pretty much like anyone else's here: he claimed to know such and such person and contacted me asking about a song of mine for a project he was about to produce for a Sony new artist. On that same call he let me know about the demos. After some days of e-mails and working out the details with him and Robert I sent the money. Rick even sent me a rough track of the first of my songs that actually sounded pretty good. In March 20 something he left me a message saying he had got my e-mails but his account was messed up so he couldn't asnwer. That was the last thing I heard form him. I then talked to John about it, as well as other people that had worked with him. Again, no one had nothng bad to say about him.
I also did my research before working with him. Jamie Beaver was the name that convinced me since she's from my wife's hometown, I've seen her CD's on stores, I've seen her perform and know she's the real deal. I thought "if she's worked with Rick, he must be the readl deal too".
For a while I didn't know what to do. On one hand I wanted to come here and let everyone know about it but as far as I knew he coulda been run by a car or get sick or whatever and I didn't want to rant when I didn't know what was going on. Besides, I got the feeling that he was an honest person and that somethng wrogn had happened to him. I guess he fooled us all.
Then I tried to contact him sending him certified letters and stuff like that. When that didn't work I asked a lawyer friend of mine what I can do about it. Rick must be a lucky man because my friend just got a baby so he had to put this thing on hold for a while. That was a couple of weeks ago. Now that I read about Rick wanting to fix this, I'm willing to let it go as long as he sends me my money back. So rick, if you're reading this, you know my address (if you don't, send me an e-mail and I'll give it to you). Send me a nice money order for $550 and I'll forget about it. I don't even care for apoligies or even the demos (it's funny that yesterday I got the demo of the same song I was planning to do with him from some other studio), just send me my money back.
Russ, I'm sorry to hear your heartbreaking story, it must have sucked big time. I hope you get over it soon. I'm also sorry for the other guys. To me it hasn't been that bad, though I get pissed every time I think about the money.
So far he hasn't contacted me and I'll keep you updated if he does. I like to be fair and I'll eventually have a not too bad opinion of him if he gives me my money back.

Now my story is a little different as due to a the mail between here and Canada failing in some way, no money ever changed hands in my case, I sent it to another member here as part payment but it never arrived and the cheque wasnt cashed. Therefore I have lost no money, but I did (apparently) have a demo completed according to Robert P, which he promised to mail me but never did. Now as i didnt pay in the end, I dont expect the demo, but I would like to know what became of it, was it actually completed and if so can it be destroyed, or I would buy it from rick if I was satisfied with the result, cant say fairer than that. Its just the thought of a piece of my work being produced and dissapearing that saddens me.
I want to believe that this is all a big mistake but bits of the stories like Russ's experience with the false calls to/from Sony etc just dont make sense, I cant see how that was a mistake, it still appears as a diliberate intention to decieve to me. I dunno, i want Ricks name put right, the part demo i got for "Couldve Been Right" which was never completed IMO was very good, I loved it so Ricks talent certainly isnt in question here.
So Rick, dont worry about settling things with me, I expect nothing exept info on wether the demos of mine do exist or not, just for peace of mind, my songs are important to me. If you do get in contact, I wont bite sir.

First, thank you Marty for your trust. That means an enormous amount to me. I have put myself in a bit of a precarious position here, I think, in my quest for the truth. Let me just clarify my position based on your comments above.
I would not say I am convinced. I am however seeing a great dichotomy between views. I have talked to people who have only good things to say about Rick. I have talked to others who have had problems. Most of the stories I cannot independently verify. I am relying on someone?s word. There are some things I DO know. Here is the only ?Fact? I possess?
1. There is no doubt there were problems here at Muse?s Muse. I pretty much know who & how much.
That's it for facts...It gets a tad confusing for this simple mind
I mentioned this to Jodi too. I will be honest. I WANT Rick to come through. I?m pulling for him. As I have mentioned in the past, I started to consider him a friend as we started to work more together some months ago. I don?t want someone who I consider a friend to be dragged down (by their own doing or someone else?s). I also would like them to be honorable and reflect well on me (as I want to reflect well on my friends and family). I think Rick knows from our phone conversation that I don?t like what happened here. According to him, he doesn?t either and he wants to make it right. This will be easy enough to verify in the end. I am pulling for him, but not blindly.

I am also a victim to Rick's "fiasco". I also sent money for his services and never got a complete product. I only got little rough workings on it.
At this point, I don't expect my money back and I really don't know what to believe about Rick. I agree with John, he may have people who recommend him, but he hurt people here on the Muse. And people who were affected, now have a negative view on him, including me. Even if he does pull through and deliver the demo's he promised, how do I know that he's not just doing it to regain confidence from people in order to scam more people later?
I will definetely post here if Rick contacts me and will keep you all informed.

As far as I know, you weren't directly involved in this. Why you throw chip?
As far as I know, no one is in a financial mess over this. Juan is by far the one who has the most money at risk at least as far as I know. If I am wrong, someone please correct me. Marty and Russ are not out any money by their own statements. Other than Juan, that leaves myself and one other individual who has not chimed in out any cash and my understaning is that together we are not out as much as Juan. The biggest problem I see, so far, is that Russ had his hopes built up and they were dashed. That is a big deal. Perhaps Russ is in the hole for some travel or something? That's possible. I don't know that.
You assume very much as fact in your post which I would not be comfortable calling fact.
Juan should take care of his business as he sees fit, as should Russ, as should Marty, as should I, as should others directly involved. Can't we just let it go at that for now? I'm not sure what your agenda is with this since you were not involved and to my knowledge, know even less about the situation than I do. We will know soon enough if things were handled fairly from the very mouths of those who were involved. Let them decide what fair is.
Isn't that, ultimately, fair & factual?
This is going to be my last post on this matter (other than presenting other facts that come to light as this plays out). I am not Rick's defense attorney, nor do I want to be. If he doesn't live up to his promises, I will report that. If he does, I will report that as well. Let's just see where this ride takes us in the end. Shall we?

Please don't take things to places this issue doesn't need to go. And please, don't tell people how they have to feel about this ("I feel you are being far too forgiving Juan. Your $550 dollars may be no big deal to you and the messing about hasn't broken your heart, but what about all the people who have ended up in a financial mess and are depressed by what he's done").

Fact is, I was on this with Russ before (or at least simultaneously) you encouraged him to come out with it. Fact is, I did a fair amount of research before Russ made his post. Fact is, I'm doing a lot of leg work to get as close to the bottom of this as I possibly can. Fact is, I am taking it on myself to try to get the folks here at Muse's Muse what they were promised. In other words, it would have come out anyway.
You are going around making assumptions & telling people how they ought to deal with a situation without being directly involved. Why not let them decide what they need. Why not let this play out and see what happens. What do you want Juan and everyone else to do? Shall we march up and lynch him?
And yes...I dare to say it...it's an open board after all.
Unionization...what a crock...it just sounds to me like you like to stir the pot.
Now pull your undies out of that bunch they just got in and have a nice remainder of the day.
(If you can't tell, I'm having a bit of fun with you. I found your post quite humorous).

Roger,
I realize that I have put myself in a precarious position. What I mean by not living up to his promise is the "making it right" process here at the Muse. I do understand he has not lived up to his obligation previously. I lost contact with Rick about the same time everyone else did until two nights ago. I asked someone else he has been working with (from my research) to ask him to give me a call and he did. So at this point I am not working with him other than this current process we are all going through.
I am under no delusions here. Yes, I would like to see him make amends, both for his sake and the sake of the people who have been wronged. I also have not recommended that anyone work with him and understand how people here (including myself) have doubts about how this will end up. I just think we have a pretty good vehicle to judge if he does right for this community in the end by the results of this little excercise to see if he comes through. That doesn't mean people still shouldn't be wary after all that has happened. They should and that is understandable.
The damage has already been done in this community. I'm sure he will get no more demo work from the Muse's Muse. The real question is will he at least try to do the right thing in the end. Perhaps you are right. Perhaps he is only doing this because it got brought up in a public forum. Maybe not. I guess I don't know the answer to that question. But making it right and aplogizing to those harmed at least points things back in the right direction.
I have no business dealings or financial ties to Rick (other than a song that ended up being a co-write). The only thing that will really be hurt substantially here, for me personally, in the end, are my feelings if he doesn't come through. I am looking at myself as a mostly independent participant in this mess that is rooting for him to do the right thing. I was forthcoming early on about how I viewed Rick before all this happened to be fair to you guys. I am not naive or blind though. The chips will fall where they will fall and we can all go on from there.
Yes, I am probably slightly biased. I also am hurt that all this happened. I want to see what is right be done in end. No matter what the result ends up being. Just trying to be as fair as I can to all involved.
Did that help at all Roger? It does matter to me what you and other Muse's think of me. I value my reputation and do not want it besmearched.
I will keep you all posted on any info I get as I get it.

No, it would have come out right here. I wast communicating with Russ and some other folks when this story "broke". I was just trying to get some evidence (circumstantial as it may be) behind me before I made a comment.

Hi Juan,
I got your message last night. Chances are you have the same phone number as I do. If you want to PM me or email me I will confirm that for you. I also had trouble getting a hold of him at that number for a long time. But he was there the other night. If that's not the one, I will certainly ask him if it's OK if I give it to you. I don't think it's appropriate to give out someone's # without permission. I wouldn't give out yours or anyone elses and I expect others wouldn't give out mine either. However, if you already have it anyway...

To me the most important thing is that he told me that next week he would send me my money and that he would do the 3 songs we agreed for free. I told him he didn't really need to but he insisted so I guess he'll end up doing something for me anyway.
As I said, to me the important thing is he sends me the money and it seems like he is going to do that. Besides, I have to admit it must've been hard to pick up the phone and call everybody so I guess I'll give the guy a second chance.
