A Proper Gentleman's Guide To TN Of A.
By Rupert Cuthbertson-Smythe.
Right oh, fair wreftling purists, I am of course your humble scribe Rupert Cuthbertson-Smythe, and as such, I have been assigned to be your noblest of guides through this journey of grappling merriment as provided by our benefactors TN of A! So, sit back, gentlemen, adjust your top hats, instruct your wives that they are no longer required this evening and can now retire to their quarters, and join me in this exciting tale of sport!
We are now suddenly whisked to the hexagonical stage, where our master of ceremonies Lord James Cornette and his noble ward, Matthew of Morgan await our polite company! They explain our evening's journey in grandiose detail, when, oh my, they are interrupted by Joseph of the Samoas! And I am aghast at his collective intellect and linguistic abilities, despite being to you and I, the educated upper class, but a simple golden brown savage! Joseph then denounces Lord Cornette and puzzles over the prospect of why, he, Samoan Joseph was left from the Final Resolution playbill, when a wraith-like, nonexistent drunkard such as Scott Hall gets an alleged chance at title - never once questioning that perhaps this Hall gentlemen was simply born into a line of superior nobility, and as himself, an uncivilized islander, he could never be accepted into that society no matter what the course. Gads. Can you imagine.
This then spurs the collective distemperment of Mr. Hall's frequent male companion, Kevin Longshanks! Whom soon arriveths at the hexagon with true purpose and merit! "How dareth you besmirch the names of the Outsiders!" says he (I presume by this appellation the respective pair were denied entry into a respectable gentleman's club). Kevin Longshanks then respectfully demands that Samoan Joseph respect his "place", and accept his plight as an island barbarian and to stop ignorantly trying to assimilate himself into a class that he can never be a part of! ABSOLUTELY! I'm aghast. What's next? Negroes at the drinking fountain? Preposterous!
Amidst all this anarchy, Lord Cornette makes Joseph and Longshanks actual bedfellows! And decrees that now they will be forced to work as a tandem! Perhaps even on a tandem bicycle. Trust me, if one of you is not doing your part with the peddling and such, you'll simply tip over! It's very frustrating! But also rewarding!
We are then whisked away again, where a fair wench by the name of Crystal is holding an electrical phallus in the face of Robert of the house of Roode. Mr. Roode announces, that he, as a prominent white land owner, can and will slap the defiant brown visage of negro freeman Booker T's life-mate Sharmell! Oh my! He then decrees that his own fair wench, Mistress Traci Brooks will follow suit in unconditional obedience, or oh my, she will return to a life as lady of the evening, disrobing for pence and only slightly larger currency! Uncouth, but absolute fact.
We now venture to the visual advertisements!
We return with fair wench Crystal, this time standing with the brothers of multi-dimensionality, Raymond and Devon and their young page, Devine. I find this all very hard to assimilate. I mean, am I to believe that the mother of this Raymond at some point soiled herself with the coloured help and thus birthed this Devon?! Outrageous. Mixing with the serving class? God help us all.
Brother Raymond, which I can assume by his designation is member of the clergy (which may also explain brown brother Devon's constant boisterous bellowing of "Testify") insists that the collective duo have been practicing for this Ultimate X athletic exhibition by climbing and somesuch. From there, tempers flair when young page Devine compares Devon to a giant primate. I fail to see the troubling issue here, friends. If anything, being compared to a monkey is not that insulting if the scribblings of godless trouble-maker Darwin are to believed! In 100,000 years, Brother Devon, you may have the sensibility of an actual man if his fledgling theory proves true! How exciting!
But that was not all! The collective mob of evil witchdoctors approached and demanded the presence of Wench Crystal, and when informed of her imminent departure (hopefully to fix supper or prepare the wash-clothes) the large, unsightly masculine woman "Kip" takes her designated place and acts as temporary Mistress of ceremonies! Kip then demands of B and G of James when he shalt finally come forward and accepteth his invitation in the bountiful Feast for which James so nobly earned. I took this to mean the handsome couple is currently courting and the ever anxious lass, Kip, wants to know when their blossoming relationship will advance beyond simple poetry and love letters and proceed onto the breaking of breads. B and G, however procrastinates which upsets Kip's feminine biological neediness for answers in the present. How tremendously sad.
We begin our first sporting event with Lance Hoyt (whose lower back painting I find particularly disturbing! As if it was a MESMER!) and the muscular temptress Kip James! I usually do not condone violence against the weaker sex, but clearly, Master Lance feel it necessary here to put Kip in her place, perhaps to quash any and all urges of independence and freewill, because can you imagine?! A woman perhaps, dare I say it, voting? A woman working alongside as a full equal of a man?! My God, it's all very unsettling, and thankfully a situation, I guarantee will never see fruition.
Now, at this point, my friends, the perpetual movements of the competitors became increasingly chaotic and difficult to follow. And soon, the stage became rife with Wreftlers of all shapes, sizes, colour and social standing. A rapscallion named "Homicide" for example, wreaked pure unadulterated havoc, whilst promoting a moniker that implies that he ever so flagrantly endorses MURDER. Egads! What has our nation come to! I am aghast that law makers and barristers alike allow such a man to run rampant!
Soon, bodies are tossed from the stage, and we arriveth at two final tandems! The Wagon City Gattling Guns of Squire Christopher Sabin and Sir Alex Shelley against an alleged "Rock and Rave" connection (who are students of geology, I'd gather) of the aforementioned Lance Hoyt and his secret lover, Jimmy Rave. The four gladiators doeth battle, and dare I say, the action experienced here is of a disconcerting nature! Good grief. Eventually, Squire Sabin attempted to holdeth Rave down until he yielded. And then he did! It was glorious.
Winners & recipients of purse monies: Squire Sabin & Sir Shelley!
We return from more flagrant shilling of goods!
We return from whence we last had you, when suddenly, our noble victors are BUSHWHACKED by the mongrel brothers Raymond and brown Devon, along with their pageboy Devine! They attack our heroes with a savagery not seen since the colonies ambushed our majesty's trade-ships and dumped our goods into their blackened ocean! They even goeth so far as to potentially shatter the hands of both men, obviously in an attempt to destroy their penmanship and to ostracize them from polite society where they can no longer extend the traditional pinky whilst drinking from their chalices! Also, perhaps to gain an advantage in their silly climbing contest, but likely mostly the former. Obviously. Which holds the more significant long term ramifications? Precisely.
We are once again whisked away, to the posh smoking lounge of Kurtwood of all Angles and his bride, Karen. Angle is obtuse but ultimately reveals that AJ of Styles and a gentleman by the name of "Tomko" must maketh their choice for whose campaign they will be backing: he, Kurtwood of Angles, or the elusive Christian Cage, which I assume is a church implement used to trap and convert wayward pagans into the ways of our holy father. Kurtwood of Angles then decrees that Master Tomko meet him in the gladiators staging area on this very evening to giveth his decision. Kurtwood then reveals that he has a plan for the Christian Cage, (he has all angles covered? Oh my, hilarity and irony!). Kurtwood then makes a baffling statement that he is not the most serrated cooking implement in the staff's quarters. Or something of that ilk. Truth is, I only eat what my chef serves, and have never actually been in my manor's kitchen. Can you imagine!
More flagrant soliciting of goods!
We are back now, and we are standing by with the school marm of AJ of Styles, who reveals that Master Styles once sported a face of blemishes for which he vehemently denies, and she then implores him to maketh his decision!
Town callers Michael Tenay & Donald West announce your playbill for the commencing Final Resolution!
Yes, fair gentlemen, what an unruly sight this was. A collection of prostitutes, large and small, engaged in immoral Battle! I would giveth you the full transcript of memory of this ungodly exhibition, but I am far too disturbed to even attempt to remember the startling details. All I recall is a giant brown beast destroying a bevy of buxom tarts, before eventually being hoisted and propelled from the hexagonical area! It was horribly unsettling and hurt my very soul. This just left two remaining prostitutes, the frightening ODB, and a painted harlot from the French quarter, by the name of Roxxi Laveaux. This brouhaha was eventually bested by the appalling ODB when she hurled her mighty loins from the very second strand into Miss Laveaux's very direction, and she laid a top of her for final near-copulatory triumph! It was surprisingly satisfying! In fact, the Gents and I all lit up a celebratory pipe in its honour!
Winner of purse monies: ODB!
Fair wench Crystal is now currently seen with the terrifying Tomko, whose beard reminds me of the dark Lucifer himself; if the unholy lord of darkness was housed only in a disturbingly ill-fitting pair of tragic pantaloons! This Tomko pillock then ventured to the Hexogonical area from whence he decreed that for no man other than he would he be willing to be shot dead. It was rather confusing. Kurtwood of Angles then reluctantly extends his un-gloved hand in a declaration of true sportsmanship, but Tomko refuted his gentlemanly gesture and grabbed Kurtwood by his very neck that Kurtwood has so oft described as freakishly broken! Oh my. Tomko then takes his leave, and Kurtwood is left, manhood besmirched, likely regretting not slapping the Tomko about his very cheek with three consecutive blows of a single white glove. I cannot say that I blame him.
We are now joined in the company of AJ of Styles' former wreftling tutor who soon reveals the shocking allegation that Master Styles once urinated within his very own britches, when suddenly a beastly woman removed and stomped on her own bicuspids! BIZARRE!
After more shameless shilling of goods we return to Stately Styles Manor where Master Styles younger sister Dame MJ of Styles began to spin a yarn of how during his youth, Master Styles would take to frequently interfering with himself! Master Styles then intervenes, rapidly changing the topic from his alleged fondling of special purposes, to denounce the physical attractiveness of his sibling and demand the woman maketh him a sandwich, post haste - for which she then vehemently refuses until AJ maketh up his mind!
We venture off yonder with a strange black peacock whose vocal chords appeared to be ravaged, and his Pakistani manservant addressed as Sonjay Dutt. They begin a quarrel over whose right it was to sully a white woman. Heaven help us! We are then immediately joined by the Christian Cage, whom it turns out is not a large Godly conversion containment apparatus at all, but rather a MAN! He announces that he is proud that the Tomko stood on his own two feet (or hooves as it were if the Satanic appearance of the Tomko is to be believed) and he was visibly aghast at the cowardice of one AJ of Styles, who remain in exile in his ancestral home.
Christian Cage then decrees that unlike Kurtwood earlier, he is indeed a rather sharp butchery blade housed within a cabinet and promised that in all manners, brains will defeat brawn every time, bar feats of strength, obviously.
This fracas was especially disturbing as it appears, in an act of cruel sport, Lord James Cornette has assembled a motley crew of battling children (or perhaps pigmy's?) for which he watches for his own perverse amusement! The whole melee is ultimately survived by the heavily-muscled child known as Petey Williams, who takes a malnourished hairless boy named "Senshi" and unnaturally twirls him through the very air as if gravity and logic and common sense have no meaning! Town callers, Donald & Michael announce it as the destroyer of Canada, but I find that claim far-fetched, as our Royal majesty, Queen Victoria would never allow one of her most prominent members of the commonwealth to so easily be vanquished!
Winner of purse monies: Young Petey Williams.
We once again wander off yonder where fair wench Crystal is standing by with a farmhand, James Storm and his colored assistant Miss Jackie Moore. The cow-herders declare that they are the true champions of the bottle, and subsequently challenge Eric the Young to a respectable battle of ale consumption! Jolly good. The Gents and I have also been known to partake in a little good natured drinking! In fact, I have only been bested once when I was unfairly disqualified when my monocle fell into my Brandy Alexander! It was truly heartbreaking.
We returneth to Stately Styles Manor where the family Priest reveals confessional secrets of Master Styles in unapologetic candor! We then learn that the Cleric is in all actuality speaking of another diminutive lad with phenomenal abilities, and not AJ of Styles! The family then further add shocking intrigue to the festivities by revealing that they are all collectively RAPISTS! Egads. Wait. One of the Gents just informed me that was "BAPTISTS" and not "RAPISTS". Please forgive my incompetence. Earlier today I flogged my servants, as is my noble right, and as such their screams of anguish have temporarily left me with a ringing in my very ears, thus making some audible enunciation hard to decipher.
We journey off yonder one last time with fair wench Crystal, who is standing by with Freeman negro Booker T and his allotted life-partner Sharmell. Booker claims he knows how to treat a woman, but fails to mention keeping her on task to finish the all important scrubbing, cooking and general maintenance of the home, so his boasts hold no water with I. Sharmell then declares that tonight, she shalt slap Robert of the house of Roode in such a manner that he will in turn lose the memory of the flavor of his last ingested meal! Outrageous!
This is our final gauntlet of the evening, and as such, Freeman Booker enters the rumpus first, and engages in battle with filthy cow-herder James Storm. Next was Eric the Young, and my personal favourite, the noble Knight Scott Steiner of the house of Poppa Pumping, dressed in his best chain-mail for this athletic exhibition. If this was a JOUST, I do believeth we would have a champion in our midst!
From there, more gladiators enter and I lose track of the participants, because this evening's action is perpetual and there is no stop in sight. No wonder the House of Carter chose that moniker.
Eventually the herd of beefy gents thin out after a right thrashing, and we are left with Christian Cage, Joseph of the Samoas and the silver-fox Kevin Longshanks!
Kurtwood of Angles ambushes Christian, hurling him torso first into the large metal pole that keeps the stage afloat. Our Town callers West & Tenay declare it an Olympic slam, but I doubt those filthy Greeks had the foresight to toss foes into metallic trees, or else they'd still possesseth ownership of the known world, instead of my noble homeland of Britain.
This unfortunate scuffle seemingly leaves only Longshanks and the Island barbarian remaining! However, in the ultimate act of benevolence, Longshanks decrees that "although you can never be an equal to me in standing or worth due to your unsightly savage customs, I shalt do the gentlemanly thing and step aside so you mayst enjoy a fleeting moment of glory before you and your nation are assimilated into the commonwealth and forced to pay tax." However, the sneaky rapscallion, Christian, emerges blindly from behind Joseph and quickly rolls the rotund Islander into a riddle he cannot solve for the victory. Hey now. Just like with the Polynesia's, the Christians have once again bested the dark savages! Score one for morality!
Winner of purse monies: Christian Cage!
In our final act, we journey once more to Stately Styles Manor where AJ of Styles is ready to maketh his decision! However, he flip flops like a common ponker and leaves us all holding the proverbial bag! "You'll get your decision at the gathering of sportsmen on this Sunday, the lords day!" says Styles. "Now leaveth me in peace so I shalt continue being Phenomenal!" And as such, I shalt respect his wishes and take my leave.
Say now, I genuinely enjoyed that and feel truly fulfilled. What a smashing exhibition of sport this was, and I'm ever so glad that you, the upper class, and perhaps even a few straggling Plebs who understand the written word, could join me for this jolly good anecdote.
Until the next time, I am, and remain
respectfully yours,

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has dismissed Fiorentina's title chances this season.
"It will be a very difficult match and we need a great performance to overcome this obstacle," said Mancini. "I don't know if Fiorentina can be considered competitive right away. Playing in the UEFA Cup and Serie A can be very tiring in the long run and this year will certainly have caused them problems.
"Over the years they will become a great side. Although not Scudetto contenders now because with a lot of young players there can be a lack of consistency, if they remain united for a number of years then they can create a winning cycle."

There are many different ways a landlord can advertise their rental property. The kind of advertising that works best depends on numerous factors that include property characteristics, location, landlord's budget, and whether he / she is in a hurry to rent. There are many combinations of advertising methods landlords and property managers use to achieve the best results, some of which are as under.
1. 'For Rent' Signs The most common method of advertising is the putting up of a 'For Rent' sign, either in front of the property, or in one of the windows. A relatively cost-free method, it works best if a lot of foot and motor traffic goes past the building. It also helps if the building is as attractive as the rental unit.
2. Advertising in the Newspapers As much of a tradition as 'For Rent' signs, newspaper ads are also available online, if the paper has an online version. Many potential tenants begin their search for a place to rent by scanning the classified ads in newspapers, while, out-of-towners can log on online to the local paper from wherever they are. Ads should always be placed in papers having many residential listings, as it has been found they work best. And, they should be targeted to produce the right kind of prospective tenants i.e. if a landlord primarily rents out to college students, the best bet is to advertise in the campus newspaper or put up a 'For Rent' sign in the housing office. To play it safe, it is also a good idea to list the rental in a general newspaper, as well.
3. Neighbourhood Flyers As well, a landlord can post ads on neighbourhood public bulletin boards to be found at grocery stores, Laundromats or coffee houses, complete with tear-off strips listing their phone number. However, if the property is upscale, this is not the best way to advertise for it, though there might be takers at the high-end gym down the street.
4. Listing Online: Online listings have mushroomed like crazy in recent years, from national in scope, to regional, and for good reason. These type of listings are usually free, and most potential tenants will check them. The most common online sites in London Ontario are KiJiJi and Craigslist.
5. Spreading the Word Small-time landlords instead of advertising widely and screening potential tenants, find it easier to market their rentals through word-of-mouth i.e. telling friends, colleagues, neighbours, and current tenants. After all, people already living on your property will invite decent neighbours. So, when a property becomes vacant, simply send a note around to every one, asking them to tell friends or relatives about the available apartment.
6. Real Estate Offices Many real estate offices handle rentals, but of course, there is a fee involved, but they will handle all the dirty work.
7. Property Management Firms Going through a property management firm is the easiest way to do it. They handle advertising, showing tenants around, as well as, selecting tenants, collecting rents, and interacting with residents during tenancies (handling repairs, etc. etc.). Again, all this comes with a fee
. Next Steps Once, the advertising has been done, the next step is to create a rental application and select a tenant. When advertising vacancies and selecting and rejecting applicants, read up on your local Landlord and tenant rules. In London Ontario that would be the Landlord and tenant board (www.ltb.gov.on.ca). Evaluate prospective tenants by thoroughly checking out their rental applications, and tenant consent forms for contacting references, performing credit checks and criminal and background checks. The only way to avoid unnecessary litigation is by screening prospective tenants and conducting background checks. You due dilligence and this stage will pay dividends during the term of the lease. A good tenant is a landlords best asset.

Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
Ever since finding out this baby is a boy I've been terrified to tell DF I don't want to circ him. I have no problems with the circ itself, but if something were to go wrong during a cosmetic surgery I don't think Icould live with myself. DF is very mainstream as is both of our families and I did not expect himto be receptive whatsoever. I figured a huge arguement would ensue.
Want to know the first thing he said? "Well, what about when they're in the bathroom and they ask why they're different from eachother?" I was shell shocked! He was open, did not want to discuss it in detail but agreed to think about it and offered no other arguements. The one he did give is easily gotten around IMO. I did not push it as then he would have gotten mad but he was so nice about it! Now,that doesn't mean I'll win but we're off to a great start that he's even open to the idea!
Score 1 for me!
Oh, and I also told him that I could only agree if he couldwatch a video of the surgery the entire way through. Has anyone's SO watched the video and still wanted to circ afterwards?
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
I don't know about watching the video but I have a few friends who watched their sons get circumcised and were ok with it. One baby slept through the whole thing. But you have to do what's right for your sons. I don't have a boy but we'll circumcise for religious reasons even though my husband is not circumcised.
Thats great! Im so afraid this baby is a boy b/c I have a feeling dh wont like my stance...good luck mama.
I've heard of people watching the video and still doing it. I wouldn't use that as a condition to allow it. With my EX, the condition I gave was that he had to do all the diaper changes until DS was healed, because I didn't want to handle a wound and feel bad every time I saw it. BUT, in the end I never would have allowed it to happen, so I never should have even said it. I did finally get his dad on my side, but after he was mad for a bit because I simply refused. Now he thanks me for standing up to him.
The most convincing argument I seem to have is that it should be HIS choice...the owner of the penis. It can always be done later, but it cannot be undone. Why not leave it up to the kid when he becomes a man? It simple and easy. There would be no regrets. If he chooses it later, he can have adequate pain relief. Less chance of complications.
If he's worried that your son will notice the difference, tell him it shouldn't be a big deal. If he asks, tell him the truth...when daddy/brother was a baby, doctors thought it was a good thing to cut off that part, but we knew better when you were born, so we didn't do that.
My son is 7 and used to shower with his dad and he never commented on it. I don't know if he ever even noticed. He did once comment on the size difference...very loudly...in the middle of a crowded hallway in children's hospital. LMAO
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
in NC where my son was born the dont do any actuall cutting, its a little plastic piece called the plasitibell (sp?) its stays on for i think it was on for a week and it falls off when its done. no special care needed just make sure theres no poopies on it
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
There's no "gentle" way to do a circ. Even if they numb it, the shots are very painful and don't usually do a whole lot, which is why they have to strap the baby's arms and legs down.
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
Yeah is you MUST circ insist on NO plastibell!
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
My dh and I have watched the videos and done the research and we still circ. If you really don't want him circed you should use logic and not emotion if your dh is like most men.
Re: Had the circumcision talk with DF!!
I'm fairly certain they use the "gentle, no-cutting plastibell" scheme to convince parents no pain relief is needed. I've had many people tell me that their doctors told them it didn't involve cutting and it was not painful and "only takes a few minutes".
It makes me really sick that doctors think it is in ANY way ok to cut on a baby with no pain relief, but most circs are still done with inadequate pain relief. :yuck:

If you want to cut down on major white-collar crime, hire more women to corporate positions. Why? Women are more moral and ethical than men. Says who? Two studies and surveys that I stumbled upon last week.
Of course, the women reading this right now are nodding their heads in agreement and probably befuddled that we men don't already know this irrefutable fact of life.
No way. We got Jesus Christ. They got the Virgin Mary. Jesus trumps mom. You say Mother Teresa? I see you and raise you a Mohandas Gandhi. OK. That might be a wash.
But maybe, at least in the corporate world if not elsewhere, there's something to it, according to a study by researchers at Pennsylvania State University and Washington State University published last month in the American Sociological Review.
The researchers examined gender composition and differences in 83 major federal financial scandals involving 436 indicted defendants in the U.S. from 2002 to 2009.
The study disclosed that fewer than one in 10 corporate offenders were female. Though the number of female CEOs has remained stagnant in recent years, U.S. census data indicate that women are strongly represented in mid-level corporate jobs. They also occupy half of all managerial administrative jobs and are the majority of technical and clerical white-collar workers.
But all "solo-executed" frauds were by men, according to the study, and all-male groups formed the preponderance of conspiracies. Few women were ringleaders, and those involved in frauds were often spouses, lovers or lower-level employees who played minor roles and reaped significantly less in ill-gotten dough than their male conspirators.
As the study noted: "Men are more likely to commit crimes with a woman when (1) a romantic or close personal relationship exists, (2) an exceptional woman has carved out a niche in the underworld, or (3) there is utility in deploying a woman for safety or profitability, such as when women create less suspicion, have access to helpful information or specialized skills, attract a more willing or less fearful clientele, or prevent missing out on a good opportunity when male accomplices are not available."
A mouthful, but dead on. One such example is the involvement of Deanna Lynn Coleman in the $3.5 billion Ponzi scheme perpetrated by disgraced Minnesota businessman Tom Petters. Serving as Petters' day-to-day operations manager, Coleman — who also had a short-term fling with Petters — took an active part in cooking the books and duping investors into shelling out billions for nonexistent purchases or investments.
Whether it was conscience or the fact that the noose from suspicious and angry investors was tightening, she approached the FBI and federal prosecutors in 2008 with incriminating evidence of the scheme. She also wore a wire to catch Petters and others describing the fraud in some detail. She was the star prosecution witness at trial. Coleman, who reportedly pocketed millions from the fraud, got 10 months in prison in return for her cooperation. Petters is serving a 50-year sentence.
Although the Petters case was not part of the study, "our findings and theoretical framework, however, are very relevant to what is revealed in the (case)," said Darrell Steffensmeier, the lead researcher and a sociology professor at Penn State University.
"There is reason to believe that, over time, increasing the number of female CEOs would reduce corporate corruption because women tend to promote a more ethical business climate rather than one that promotes personal and corporate profits at all costs, no matter what the potential societal costs or harms might be," Steffensmeier said of the study's most sweeping conclusion.
OK. Women are from Venus and therefore commit mostly venial sins; men are from Mars and more involved in mortal sins. A very rough analogy, but I buy some of it. But are women in general more moral than men? The results so far from a global survey seem to bear that out.
Better known as the "Moral DNA Test," the online survey was developed four years ago by Roger Steare, a British ethicist and corporate philosopher who consults with executives on crisis-management decisions.
More than 60,000 folks across 200 countries have taken a quiz that essentially tries to gauge the extent and influence of morality and related core values in everyday life and decisions and outlook. The results so far? Some parallel the corporate-crime study findings.
"Women prefer to make their decisions based on how it impacts others — which tends to produce better decisions — while men have a more individual approach and are more self-interested," Steare told a British publication recently.
"What this shows is that when it comes to work, men have to grow up, put their ego to one side and show some humility and compassion — qualities they all too often have in their personal lives but put to one side when they walk into the office," he said. Steare also noted such values become firmer after a person turns 30.
I, a humble wretched sinner, plan to take this quiz. I will try not to cheat. I know my wife won't.

The goal of this article is simple: to help traders with mentally accepting their losses.
Although the goal might sound easy to achieve, it is actually very hard to keep focused on current events and price action.
All traders drift away from current reality because their thoughts and energy are drained by past mistakes, losses, unrealized profits, and unexpected price movements.
Note: I would love to hear how you plan on using this post to improve your focus in general and Forex trading in specific. Please leave me your comments and feedback below after reading today's article!
Did you ever start out a trading day with a ton of energy? Did you ever start out a trading day where you were fully focused and ready, but as the trading day progressed you lost all of those good intentions?
Snow can disappear quickly in a strong blazing sun; and so can a trader's focus when losses occur.
On top of that, the market provides a multitude of distractions due its ability to continuously make retracements. Traders also get sidetracked by social media, email, TV, phones, advertisements, and our private lives.
No wonder traders have a tremendously tough time maintaining their discipline. Many solutions were already offered in the article "accepting the outcome and focusing on the process," but today's post is emphasizing another critical factor.
It might be difficult to imagine showing empathy to your losing trades. Also, letting your losses become your best friend probably sounds exaggerated to most of the readers. Embracing losses, however, has the potential advantage of quickening the path to success tremendously.
That might be a shocking statement for a lot of readers, so let's explain.
The process of improvement is a journey. And the journey can never start without the realization that each trade in general and each loss specifically is a moment of feedback. In fact, the market is providing constant criticism.
However, the trader can only learn from the market's comments if they are open and willing to learn from the each trade and loss. That openness and willingness is often very low. Many reasons could explain this observation.
The number 1 clarification is that people in general can easily accept "positive" feedback, whereas negative comments are a hard sell. Also people have trouble with accepting feedback from an external reference when it does not align with your own vision.
Traders are exactly the same. Obviously traders only imagine themselves having winning trades so losing trades are almost a certain mismatch with their perception. Losing trades are seen as "negative" feedback and the cause of the anomaly is often directed at the market.
The solution is to prepare yourself for losses well in advance. When demo trading, paper trading, back testing, forward testing, testing with a small demo account, and real life trading, always focus heavily on the losses. If a trader were to test a strategy and only focus on the winning traders, then no wonder trading in real life suddenly seems so different.
"Focus on your losses, and the winners will take care of themselves." This is an expression often used in trading; now we know why.
When traders are prepared for, aware of, and expect losing trades to occur, then their mental willingness to recognize the loss will allow them to receive the market information with open arms.
It is vital to recognize the fact that neither the market nor the trades are intentionally hurting you. The market is the market, end of story. It makes no sense to get annoyed or irritated at it, as nobody can "control" it anyhow. Or in other words, nobody knows for sure what the market will do.
A trader, who realizes that the market is not created to hurt one's feelings, will have an open mind and heart towards the feedback of the market. Then they need to remain consistently flexible and open towards the market's criticism in order to thrive.
A trader equipped with that philosophy and mindset can embark on the journey of everlasting improvement.
When a trader has implemented steps 1 and 2, they will develop a keen awareness, an ability to listen carefully to the market, and be able to create a higher level of alertness. Traders can then in turn pick up and interpret clues during trading quicker and process them faster without fear hindering their analysis.
Obviously, this is a great development. But a trader needs to be cautious that they make trading decisions within their trading plan.
As a rule of thumb it is better to make evaluations of one's trading day at the end of the day; not during the day. Although the goal is always to make our trading better and better, our primary goal during the trading day is implementing the trading plan.
Traders want to avoid making ad hoc decisions that do not align with their trading plan during the day. After the trading day is over, traders can evaluate and analyze to improve their trading plan.
A higher level of alertness and understanding of the market will, therefore, help in both cases:
- When a trader is implementing their own trading plan during the heat of the battle called trading;
- When a trader is evaluating and improving their trading plan after the trading day.
A trader that is able to freely focus on the current price action vis-à-vis their trading plan and is able to avoid getting distracted by losses, market distractions, and personal distractions will create a substantial edge in the field of trading.
Your engagement in this open debate is crucial for starting your own journey successfully. Of course, it is easy to skip this step and move on to the next daily activity, but providing feedback means that you are taking the first step. And those are always crucial in achieving success.
Thanks always for your time and sharing this article. Wish you Happy Trading!

A land use classification scheme for use with remote sensor data
- By:
- U.S. Geological Survey
- Document: Document
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
AbstractThe needs of Federal agencies for a broad overview of national land use patterns, trends, and environmental impacts, with data inputs from both conventional sources and some of the more exotic sensors in high altitude aircraft and satellite platforms led to the formation in early 1971 of an Inter-Agency Steering Committee on Land Use Information and Classification. The work of this Committee, composed of representatives from the Geological Survey of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Earth Observations Program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as the Association of American Geographers and the International Geographical Union, has been supported by NASA and the EROS Program of the Interior Department and coordinated by the USGS Geographic Applications Program. The Chairman of the Inter-Agency Committee was Dr. Arch C. Gerlach, Chief Geographer of the Geological Survey until his death in May 1972. Shortly before Dr. Gerlach's death, Dr. James R. Anderson was appointed Acting Chairman of the Committee.

Bernie Kopell played the 'Doc' on The love Boat television series for nearly ten years. Along with his shipmates, Captain Stubing, Gopher, Julie McCoy, Isaac and Vicki, Doctor Adam Bricker (Bernie Kopell) contributed to the massive growth and success of the multi-billion dollar cruise industry. Before The Love Boat, the cruise industry was very small with small vessels and even some old converted ocean liners, and the primary base of passengers were the elite, elderly, wealthy-type who could afford a luxury cruise vacation. The Love Boat changed that dynamic by introducing romance, adventure, and a vacation for the average person each saturday night followed by Fantasy Island. The cruise industry quickly grew from a small boutique vacation option on small vessels to a massive industry where cruise lines had to built newer, larger ships to accommodate the expanding market.
Today the average sized cruise ship is 90,000 tons with a capacity to carry over 3,000 passengers, easily twice the size and capacity of the Titanic from 1912. It's difficult to imagine what the cruise industry would be like today if it were not for The Love Boat. This television show introduced a new and exciting vacation option to vacationers who wanted to duplicate the romance of a cruise vacation seen on The Love Boat TV show each week, with numerous celebrities acting as passengers eager to find love and romance and adventure on a cruise ship. Actors like Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal, Marion Ross, Florence Henderson, Charo, Ted Knight, Milton Berle, Tom Bosley, Loni Anderson, Peter Graves, and many famous actors from the 70's and 80's graced the decks of the Pacific Princess each week making the concept of a cruise vacation more appealing to the average person. In fact many people booked passage on the actual Pacific Princess with Princess Cruises expecting to see Captain Stubing or Adam Bricker, only to realize that The Love Boat was a television show with fictitious characters, filmed in a studio in Hollywood and occassionally onboard the Pacific Princess.
February 13th, 2014, Cruising Authority presented a very special Lifetime Achievement Award to Bernie Kopell, aboard the Ruby Princess, during a cruise to the Western Caribbean. It was the perfect moment during a Valentines Day cruise sponsored by the American Heart Association and Princess Cruises to find Bernie Kopell traveling with his wife onboard a Princess Cruises' vessel. Bernie even put on his Doctor uniform / costume that he wore while filming The Love Boat. It was during this cruise aboard the Ruby Princess that the Captain, Fabriszio Maresca, and Princess Cruises' Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer conspired to give Bernie Kopell a promotion from Commander with three stripes to a Senior Officer with four stripes. Bernie was given a new crew uniform with four stripes for his promotion.
Bernie was quick to explain that the success of The Love Boat was a team effort with his fellow actors and friends, Gavin MacLeod, Ted Lange, Fred Grandy, Lauren Tewes, and Jill Whelan. All of these fine actors deserve credit for their contributions to the success and growth of the cruise industry, and in fact, Cruising Authority intends to present this Lifetime Achievement Award to each of these actors for their role on The Love Boat, and to give them the honor they deserve.

Watching his daughter on a homemade ladder smoothing varnish over the red-and-yellow trim of their large new log house, Norbu Choden smiled with the satisfaction that even if there was no getting the Chinese out of Tibet, he'd finally figured out how to benefit from their decades-long occupation of his homeland. "Once you understand that they're never going to help us," he said, "you realize that you have to make your own future."
Norbu made his by transforming himself from a herdsman to a middleman. Like many of the five million Tibetans living under China's flag, he'd spent nearly all of his 48 years in eastern Tibet driving shaggy yaks through alpine meadows, eating their meat and butter, living in a tent woven from their coarse black wool, barely getting by from one brutal winter to the next. Now he leaves the hard work to others, while he buys and sells for profit.
The middleman has a long and storied history among Chinese, but his vital economic role has largely eluded the grasp of Tibetans. Before Norbu's metamorphosis, he would look on with envy as Chinese from neighboring Sichuan Province arrived each spring, buying up a wrinkled little fungus that he and other nomads had dug from the ground in their spare time. The Chinese then sold the brown Cordyceps, known as caterpillar fungus, for huge profits to traditional medicine makers.
Gradually the thought took hold: If the Chinese can do it, why couldn't Tibetans? Why couldn't he? The government in Beijing had long since declared that personal wealth was no longer a social evil; indeed, Deng Xiaoping himself had said back in the 1980s that to get rich was "glorious." So, nervous but hopeful, Norbu sold off his animals two years ago and went into the Cordyceps business.
Earning as much as $750 a pound (0.45 kilograms) from medicine makers in Chengdu, the Sichuan capital, Norbu made his risk pay off. Now he is by his own assessment a rich man. He displays the symbols of his new wealth: the coral-and-turquoise-studded jewelry he and his wife wear on their fingers and wrists, around their necks, and in their long, glossy black hair; the copper pots gleaming in the spacious log-walled kitchen; the sunny mountain mural in the main room. His rosy-cheeked wife still wears the chuba, the wraparound woolen robe traditionally favored by both women and men, but Norbu, tall and rugged, has switched to dark trousers and open-collared white shirt—what Tibetans refer to as "Chinese clothes."
Norbu says what satisfies him most is that he's used some of his wealth to help restore the Buddhist shrine, or stupa, across the dust-blown road from his house. For him, as with nearly all Tibetans, Buddhism is a constant, overriding presence, involving never ending rituals to assure good fortune and, ultimately, rebirth. In Tibet, as in all Buddhist countries, the faithful erect stupas and place relics inside them to bring good to their lives. Norbu's shrine was one of thousands of religious structures destroyed by Red Guards during the decade-long Cultural Revolution launched in 1966; by the time it was over, youthful communist zealots had killed millions throughout China—including tens of thousands of Tibetans.
But Norbu represents the stubborn side of Tibetans. He and some of his neighbors recently won permission from the local government to reconstruct the stupa. "They told us that if we were willing to pay for it, we could do as we liked." Now freshly whitewashed and gilt trimmed, it resembles a giant upended ice-cream cone, gleaming in the brilliant sunlight.
For me Norbu's experiences suggested the first tentative emergence of what could become a significant change in Tibet. More than a decade has passed since I was last there, after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 and a previous civil uprising in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital. Martial law was in effect then, and foreigners weren't permitted to travel outside the city, where drab concrete Chinese buildings were already overwhelming traditional earthen and stone Tibetan architecture.
This time, though, I traveled more than 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers) throughout the Tibetan Plateau, where 85 percent of the people live as subsistence herdsmen and farmers. I also made side trips to Nepal, a funnel for escapees, and India, where 100,000 Tibetans live. There I spoke with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan god-king who fled Lhasa in March 1959 and established a government-in-exile in northern India. The 130,000 Tibetan exiles around the world still dream of the Dalai Lama marching triumphantly home to a newly independent Tibet.
This unrealistic hope has been weakening ever since 1965 when China separated most of the Tibetan Plateau from the rest of China and designated it the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). Parts of the eastern Tibetan states of Kham (where Norbu lives) and Amdo were made into so-called autonomous prefectures and grafted onto the Chinese provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan. In reality neither the TAR nor the prefectures enjoy autonomy—they are as much under Beijing's thumb as any part of China, with dissent banned and dissenters punished. For this reason I have changed the names of most Tibetans in the story.

I have searched the forum here, and come up with nothing specific to this question. I have also looked around on google, and from those sites I got the consistent number range of:25,000-70,000.I'm just looking to narrow that down a bit. I'm wondering if anyone here has knowledge of an appropriate goal to shoot for when working on a YA book.
No, I don't mean one by one. Count the number of characters on an average full line (including spaces) and divide by six to get words. Count the number of lines on a full page and multiply by words to get words/page, then multiply by the number of pages to get total words. Don't worry about extra white space at the ends of chapters, or even paragraph indents--they're going to want your book to be about the same size, not the same word count.
Then you can do the same thing with your book. If it's typed in proper manuscript format, you can just multiply the number of pages by 250. If it's on a word processor, however, you'd better count the number of lines on a page first, since most word processors leave a little more space between lines of Courier than a typewriter does (typewriters would have put 25 lines/page; word processors typically will have about 23). But if you have 1 inch margins and 12 point font, then you can figure 10 words per line. If your word processor says 120,000 words, you'll probably come out with something substantially larger--maybe 130,000-145,000.
Can your book be split in half? That would probably be a good size. However, the Peter Pan prequels (Peter and the Star Catchers, and Peter and the Shadow Thieves, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson) are both (I would guess) about 130K-150K words, figured by this method. But for a new writer, I'd say the odds of pushing something that long are really slight.
[This message has been edited by rickfisher (edited July 24, 2006).]
Anywhere from 50-130k is sellable in the YA market. The younger the age target the shorter the book. 25-50k is certainly doable for the low end of that market.
I'd aim for 70-75k, though, if you have substantial control over the length. Me? I don't. My stories are exactly as long as they want to be.
So I would take rickfisher's advice and look at similar books to yours that are on the shelves and get page counts. Multiply by 250 and you have your rough word count average.
Now you will want to be careful with your research. Only look at the first book in a series, if applicable. As a series ages a writer can get away with more pages (take Harry Potter for example, book 5 was about 5x longer than book 1). Now, based on what I've seen in the book stores, nothing scientific, this would be my break down:
Contemporary Fantasy (Lemony Snicket) = 30k-50k words or 120-200 pages
Standard fantasy (Harry Potter in the beginning) = 50k-85k words or 200-~350 pages.
High fantasy (Eragon) = 85k+ words = 350+ pages.
[This message has been edited by Jammrock (edited July 24, 2006).]
FYI and slightly off-topic, if you submit to Penguin Putnam, they want the actual wordcount, not the manuscript wordcount (250 * number of pages). This is important because the manuscript wordcount is usually higher than the actual wordcount, which will make them feel like the story is too long. I have a friend who is an YA editor there. Mine was 70,000 by manuscript count, which seemed long to her, but 56,000 (actual wordcount) seemed about right.
When you start submitting, check with the publisher to see how they want you to count the words.
Mary... what do you mean actual word count (because you explained the other kind, but not this one)
Actual wordcount is exactly what it says--go through the manuscript and count every actual word. Or, faster and easier, let your wordprocessor do it for you. Short story publishers almost always want the manuscript page calculation, because they want to know exactly how much space your story will take in their magazine. The actual wordcount is less accurate for this, because the people who use all short words and few paragraphs will fit more words on a page than someone who uses all long words with lots of paragraph breaks.
Book publishers are more variable, some preferring the wordcount based on manuscript pages (because that's what they're used to), others preferring actual wordcount, because it's so easily available, and just about as good so long as you know that that's what you're dealing with.
Note that even "actual" wordcount is not wholly reliable--different word processors will give you slightly different numbers for this, depending on how they count words. But the numbers won't be different enough to cause your publishers confusion.

A.M. Vitals: It's Open Enrollment Season; Look for High Deductibles
Open Enrollment: Employees enrolling in health coverage for 2012 should expect to shoulder more of the responsibility for their health costs, with higher out-of-pocket expenses, particularly higher deductibles, and at least small increases in premiums, the WSJ reports. Employers are also making less noticeable changes including requiring workers to pay more to go outside an insurer's network of physicians and other providers. But 2012 plans won't see many changes related to the health-care overhaul, the paper reports.
BPA Study: Research published online in Pediatrics finds an association between relatively high urine levels of bisphenol-A in pregnant women and higher anxiety and hyperactivity scores in their three-year-old female offspring, the Associated Press reports. The research cannot demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship, and the three-year-olds whose mothers had higher prenatal BPA levels still had behavior measures in the normal range. There was no relationship between BPA levels and behavior of male offspring.
European Probe: The European Commission is investigating Johnson & Johnson and Sandoz, Novartis's generic-drug business, over "whether contractual arrangements" between the companies kept a generic version of J&J's Fentanyl patch off the market in the Netherlands, the WSJ reports. A J&J spokesman says the company had a contractual arrangement with Sandoz in 2005 and 2006 dealing with Fentanyl patches in the Netherlands, and "whether or not that infringes competition rules, that is something that will be the object of the investigation." A Novartis spokesman had no comment beyond acknowledging it has heard from the EC about the investigation.
Cutting Out the Noise: Hearing loops, copper wires that transmit sounds coming from a microphone directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants via electromagnetic signals, are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. after having spread widely in Northern Europe, the New York Times reports. The devices help the hearing-impaired hear important sounds — music at a concert, ticket windows — without getting the distracting background noise.

Cheung, G. C. K. and Chang, C. Y. (2003) 'Sustainable business versus sustainable environment : a case study of Hong Kong shark fin business.', Sustainable development., 11 (4). pp. 223-235.
This study attempts to use the shark fin business in Hong Kong as a case to illustrate its challenge to international sustainability and global environmental governance. Regarding the commercial fishing of sharks and the degradation of the species, the paper begins with a survey of characteristics of sharks in the world and the responses from the international environmental agents. The authors will then detail their statistical findings, together with interviews with the shark fin manufacturers in Hong Kong. Their study began in 1999 and the statistical data ran from 1977 to 2001. Finally, the so-called foodway in the consumption of shark fin will be discussed with a view to the international concerns over endangered species in general and sharks in particular.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 20, 2013
BMS Construction is the HVAC company that many homeowners have been turning to for their AC repairs over the years, and with new repair specials available for Houston area residents, now is the ideal time to call to schedule service.
Who is BMS Construction?
Many long-time Houston area residents recognize the BMS Construction name and associate it with fair rates, friendly service and quality results. The company has been in business for many years, and its crew has over 30 years of combined experience in Houston AC repair. All of the technicians at BMS Construction are HVAC licensed, and they are experienced with repairing most makes and models of air conditioners. This is a company that is known for providing excellent customer service, dependable results and competitive rates for all repair needs, and it is the right company to call for all air conditioning repair needs.
How the Repair Process Works
When a homeowner in Houston contacts BMS Construction for HVAC repairs, they will be able to speak to a live representative 24 hours a day. Air conditioners are used by homeowners throughout the day and night to keep the home comfortable and cool, and this means that they may break down and require repair services at any time of day or night. BMS Construction offers service 24 hours a day without delay to ensure that local residents do not have to wait for the service they need. All customers will receive an up-front estimate before work is completed, and systems will be diagnosed and repaired using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. Most repairs are completed during the first visit.
Other Services Offered
In addition to providing customers in the local area with AC repair services, BMS Construction also offers other air conditioning services. For example, its skilled technicians are available to conduct indoor air quality testing, to perform energy audits, to perform annual system maintenance and to replace existing units. Because of this extensive list of services, BMS Construction is the company that local residents can turn to for all of their air conditioning service needs. There is no service request that is too large, too small or too difficult for the crew at BMS Construction to handle.
With Houston's location just inland from the Gulf of Mexico, the weather is commonly muggy and hot during much of the year. Residents may run their air conditioners to keep the interior cool on warm days, and some will even run the AC periodically everyday due to the high humidity levels. The fact is that there simply is not a good time for an air conditioner to break down in Houston, and many people who are dealing with a broken AC today want to know which HVAC company they can call for fast, affordable and quality repair services.
Whether a property owner needs to schedule service for air conditioning repair in Houston or is interested in other services like a new installation, indoor air quality testing or other related services, BMS Construction is the trusted team that local residents can call for all of their needs. With the company's incredible experience and expertise with servicing all makes and models coupled with its dedication to customer service, BMS Construction will provide great results for all service requests.

World Briefing | Asia: Taiwan: First Lady Faints In Court
By KEITH BRADSHER
Published: December 16, 2006
Wu Shu-chen, the wife of President Chen Shui-bian, fainted on the first day of her trial on charges of embezzlement and forgery involving a discretionary presidential fund, and later recovered at a hospital. The trial continued for three presidential aides charged with related offenses, but the prosecution of Ms. Wu, 54, was temporarily suspended. Paralyzed from the waist down since she was hit by a truck in 1985, she is frail and has reportedly been in poor health. KEITH BRADSHER

Question about fish tanks-
Does anyone know or ever used regular poly-plastic plants from a craft store to decorate a fish tank? I'm talking about the ones that do no have wires exposed, because I know they will rust and cause problems with the water and fish! I'm just curious because to buy plants from the pet store is going to cost a lot of money and they look tacky!

Abduction and Induction have existed mostly as separate subjects in Artificial Intelligence and other disciplines. They have each been studied as central inference mechanisms in order to tackle a set of particular but largely different problems. Abduction is mainly used to address problems of diagnosis and planning whereas induction is primarily used in the problem of machine learning. Within the wider context of the formation and the development of a knowledge theory, however, these two forms of reasoning interact and can be integrated together in a cooperative and enhancing way. In this paper we study this possibility of integration between abduction and induction and present a cycle of knowledge development based on this integration. This paper is a summary of part of the introductory chapter of a recent book (Flach and Kakas, 2000) which addresses more generally the issues of the relation and integration between abduction and induction.

Creationism Vs Evolution – The Battle Continues In The UK
In an effort to curb the teaching of Creationism and Intelligent Design (ID) in British public schools, scientists have called on the government to toughen its guidance on their promotion in classrooms.The effort led by prominent scientists, including the naturalist David Attenborough and Richard Dawkins (an atheist), accuses religious fundamentalists as portraying Creationism and ID as scientific theory. They claim it is unacceptable to teach creationism and ID, whether it happens in science lessons or not. The scientists also claim there are two organizations, Truth in Science and Creation Ministries, who are presenting their creationist views as science, according to the Guardian.
The scientists told the Guardian, "Creationism and intelligent design are not scientific theories, but they are portrayed as scientific theories by some religious fundamentalists who attempt to have their views promoted in publicly funded schools. There should be enforceable statutory guidance that they may not be presented as scientific theories in any publicly funded school of whatever type."
The scientists claim that Truth in Science is trying to encourage the incorporation of ID into the science curriculum. The scientists said that Truth in Science has sent free resources to heads of schools and librarians to undermine the theory of evolution and have ID ideas portrayed as credible scientific viewpoints.
Truth in Science denies these claims, they told the Guardian, "We wish to highlight the scientific weaknesses of neo-Darwnism and to encourage a more critical approach to the teaching of evolution in schools and universities."
The scientists, though may be fighting an uphill battle. The Telegraph claims that the ID and creationist arguments, that the world was built in six days by God, according to the Bible and Muslims, have become more popular in recent years.
Andrew Copson, chief executive of the British Humanist Association told the Telegraph, "Evolution is probably the most important idea underlying biological science and we support the view of many experts that it should be introduced right from primary level in all state-maintained schools. At the same time, the threat of creationism and intelligent design being taught as science is real and ongoing, particularly as more schools are opened up to be run by religious fundamentalists."

WALNUT CREEK — As of Wednesday, downtown — and much of the rest of the city — is officially smoke-free.
While there are still a few places in Walnut Creek where one can light up, a controversial ordinance adopted in October prohibiting smoking throughout the city is now in effect.
The law bans smoking in and around multiunit residences, in the downtown area, in all recreational areas and at all commercially zoned properties. Perhaps easier to remember are places the ban does not apply — single-family homes, some public sidewalks outside downtown, as well as public and private golf courses.
For the past few months Matt Huffaker, assistant to the city manager, has met with property and business owners to inform them of the new ordinance and teach them how to comply.
Signs have gone up throughout the city saying where smoking is prohibited. They provide a phone number for the no-smoking hotline where people can file a complaint.
"We really are not sure how many calls we will get," Huffaker said. "We know in other cities that they didn't have a wave when it first started, but time will tell."
Those who wish to complain also can go online, and there is even an app called "SeeClickFix" which can be used for submitting complaints. A temporary city employee will man the hotline, deal with complaints and, if necessary, alert the city's code enforcement officers.
Violators can be cited with fines starting at $100 for the first infraction, $300 for the second and $500 thereafter. After that, the new law gives the city attorney power to bring a civil suit against an offender.
Huffaker stresses that the law is not intended to make the city money but instead is a way to deal with a public health threat. Citations won't be issued right away, he said.
"We realize this is a new law, and our goal is to work on educating first and issuing a warning," he said.
While the law may be in effect now, Councilman Justin Wedel is working to get part of the law overturned. He believes making it illegal to smoke inside multifamily units violates people's property rights. He is trying to get an initiative on the November ballot to undo the ban.

: : : I'm a big, big FM fan and have been using it for several years. Notwithstanding my praise for FM, I would realy like to see some sort of way to better handle wash sales. Using commission fee or account fees is at best a poor way to attempt to deal with the required adjustments. These sort of entry tricks fall short of maintaining the appropriate entries in the "Capital Gains" reports that
: : :
: : Hi Bill,
: : Thanks,
: Hi Mark,
: As I'm sure you are aware, the sale of the security at a loss does not initiate a wash sale. It's when a security is PURCHASED that the wash sale rule comes in to play. Accordingly, if FM had a way to menu specifically accept the wash sale data (associated deferred loss added to the new purchase cost) and show up on the Capital Gains Report as a separate wash sale adjustment, this would be a great improvement. As per the IRS rules, the separate wash sale entry would be listed as a positive under the wash sale entry, followed by the new purchase entry which would include the deferred loss added to the new purchase cost.
: Notwithstanding the absence of the wash sale problem, FM is absolutely fantastic. The more you use the program the more you realize how thoroughly helpful FM can be. As always, I'll be happily continuing to maintain all updates.
: Thanks,

Avivim, Israel – Israeli forces suffered heavy casualties Wednesday in fierce fighting with Hezbollah guerrillas for the south Lebanon stronghold of Bint Jbail, as cities and towns in northern Israel came under renewed attack from rockets fired by the radical Lebanese Shiite Muslim group.
Israel said eight soldiers were killed and 22 wounded, three of them severely, in what the army called "close-quarter" fighting in Wednesday's battle.
News agencies and Arabic television channels reported that at least 13 Israeli soldiers were killed in the town 2 1/2 miles from the Israeli border, a toll that – if confirmed – would be the Israeli army's heaviest loss in a single day since fighting erupted two weeks ago.
Another Israeli soldier was killed and several wounded when Hezbollah attacked a force holding the nearby border village of Maroun al-Ras.
Violence also was increasing on the other front of Israel's fight on Islamic militants: Gaza, where Hamas-linked militants are holding an Israeli soldier seized a month ago.
A force of 50 tanks and bulldozers entered the northern Gaza Strip to battle Hamas gunmen. Israeli air and artillery attacks killed 23 Palestinians, including at least 16 militants and three young girls.
Wednesday's deaths brought to 51 the number of Israelis killed in the campaign, including 32 members of the armed forces, according to the military.
In Lebanon, at least 423 people have been killed – including 376 civilians reported by the Health Ministry and security officials, 20 Lebanese soldiers and 27 fighters Hezbollah has acknowledged were killed. Israel says more than 100 guerrillas have been killed.
At a crisis conference in Rome, world leaders gave in to pressure from U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday and left a summit without calling for an immediate cease-fire in the Middle East.
After about 45 minutes of debate focused solely on a few key words regarding the cessation of violence, summit participants relented and accepted the U.S. position on the wording of a group statement, which called for "immediate work" toward an enduring cease-fire, rather than an "immediate cease-fire" itself.
Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, a Bush administration ally, delivered a moving speech during the leaders' closed-door session.
"Is the value of human life less in Lebanon than that of citizens elsewhere? Are we children of a lesser God?" Siniora said. "Is an Israeli teardrop worth more than a drop of Lebanese blood?"
Rice did not respond to his remarks.
The continued fighting came a day after an Israeli airstrike killed four U.N. observers in south Lebanon in what officials said was a mistake.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called U.N. Secretary- General Kofi Annan to express "deep regret" for the deaths and to promise a "thorough investigation."
But he took issue with Annan's initial statement Tuesday in which he denounced "the apparently deliberate targeting" of the "clearly marked U.N. post at Khiyam" in the eastern part of the south Lebanon border zone.
"It is inconceivable for the U.N. to define an error as an apparently deliberate action," Olmert said in a statement.
Annan, speaking in Rome, did not back down from his statement Tuesday but said he would accept Israel's apology.
The U.N. observers – from China, Austria, Canada and Finland – were killed when the post was hit by what a U.N. official said was a "precision-guided munition."
With no end to the fighting with Hezbollah in sight, Olmert told an Israeli parliamentary committee Wednesday he wants to establish a 2-kilometer (1.2-mile) strip inside the Lebanese border "in which it will not be possible to fire rockets toward soldiers and civilians' houses and in which there will not be contact with military border patrols," The Associated Press reported.
It was not immediately clear what effect such a strip would have on Hezbollah's launching of Katyusha rockets, which Israeli authorities say have a range of 12 to 25 miles.
Other rockets used by Hezbollah to hit the Israeli port city of Haifa and other northern towns reportedly have longer ranges.
The Israel Defense Forces, meanwhile, reported one of the heaviest 24-hour periods of bombing yet in Lebanon, with 180 aerial attacks by Israel between 8 a.m. Tuesday and 8 a.m. Wednesday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

From google searching I seem to have found that I have a MXM-II card possibly. Just wanted to make sure this is correct and what would be the best upgrade to get to play games like D3 and GW2.
I run LoL on highest settings (excluding shadows), WoW on medium to high with little shadow, and even play starcraft 2 reasonably well on medium settings. For some reason my current video card, a NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS, doesn't seem to like D3 or GW2 even though it maintains more then enough spec's for the games.
Edit: Not looking to get up to Ultra settings + shadows if that is even possible. Just maintain my current settings and allow my self to pick up D3 and GW2 amongst some other possible choices.

Since it was easier than a real sample, I checked the Technorati Top 100 blogs for ones supporting Trackback.

All 13 are so completely invalid and ill-formed that a parser would stop and catch fire within a few hundred bytes.
