It was designed by a local architect in combination with the Secret Service as a place where a US President could stay safely
The Eisenhower Cabin At Augusta National
The Eisenhower Cabin at Augusta National, seen at the Masters, is a residence fit, if not actually for a king, then for a head of state. Literally. It was built for a US president and partly designed by the Secret Service.
Ike Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in World War II, had become a member of Augusta National in 1948, six months after he had had a two-week vacation staying at the cub. He told reporters it had been his "best vacation in years."
In 1953 Eisenhower was elected President of the United States.

A regular vacation at Augusta had become part of his life, and he wished to continue this as President. (Indeed, in his eight years as President he visited the club 29 times.)
So Augusta had to provide somewhere fit for a President to say in. A new cabin had to be built. (When I first heard about the Augusta cabin my mind's eye had conjured up something a kin to a grand log cabin. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the picture shows.)

This cabin was paid for by Augusta members and designed by a local architect in association with the Secret Service.
This particular white house looks much like other cabins on the property, but is bigger and has facilities the others lack. For example there is a basement designed to accommodate the Secret Service.
Local architect Lowrey Stulb and his firm, Eve and Stulb, were given the contract. Stulb was the son-in-law of Ed Dudley, the club's first professional.
Work on the three-storey, seven-bedroom cabin began the day after the 1953 US Masters had finished. Stulb recalled.
"We had construction crews in Monday morning at eight o'clock after the tournament that year.

We had until October 1. On October 1, they turned keys over right on time."
Stulb was given a golf charm by the president and first lady. On it was a depiction of the cabin and replica signatures of the Eisenhowers, as well as Cliff Roberts and Bobby Jones, who founded and ran the club.
The Eisenhower Cabin is near Augusta's 10th tee, and has the Presidential seal above the door.
Eisenhower's stays there followed a regular pattern of work in an office in the morning, and then in the afternoon he would hit some practice balls and then play a round, often in company with Cliff Roberts and the club pro. In the evening Ike liked to play bridge.
Eisenhower is not the only president to have stayed there. Ronald Raegan did so in 1983 with senior figures in his administration when planning the invasion of Grenada.
During Reagan's visit there a gunman broke into the club and took hostages in the pro shop – the gunman wanted to talk to the President about job losses.

How information is presented makes it more accessible, more interesting, more relevant, and more memorable — or not.
This website section focuses on the following ways of presenting information. With all of these, content (writing and editing) and design work together.
In addition to being a vehicle to disseminate information, newsletters provide a way to connect with your audience. Print newsletters fill a void created with so much of our information online. They're something you can touch, and they're often about a community of sorts. E-newsletters can disseminate information more quickly, and online reporting tools provide insight into performance and trends.
Educational materials
Many of us are students for life, so educational materials are used for adults as well as for younger students.
While fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice worksheets still have their place, good educational materials can do much more. They can present information clearly, provide learning tasks, and engage users.
Training manuals
Whether they're user guides for reference or step-by-step guides in a course, good training manuals can help individuals and groups work more effectively with less learning time required.

Does Scott Walker Know That Ronald Reagan Supported Unions and Collective Bargaining?
Reagan: "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." Read what else the Wisconsin guv's idol had to say.
It's no surprise that Wisconsin's new Republican Governor, Scott Walker regularly compares himself to one of the deities of his political party, America's 40th President, Ronald Reagan. But, Walker obviously doesn't know Reagan that well, because his plans to end collective bargaining for most of Wisconsin's public employees, including teachers, is in direct opposition to what Reagan believed.
Walker believes that his efforts to end public employee's right to collective bargaining are akin to Reagan's August 1981 firing of thousands of air traffic controllers who illegally decided to strike. And while it's true that Reagan came down hard on the air traffic controllers, that doesn't mean he believed in completely stripping away worker's rights.

A Connecticut couple's nightmare of a wedding turned out to be a happy day after all.
Despite the tense moments she went through when her wedding venue went bankrupt, Stacey Rampata, 31, of Milford, became Stacey Magee on Saturday in what she says was an "amazing day."
Stacey and Charles Magee's route to the altar this weekend hit a major bump last week when they got an e-mail from the Monteverde at Old Stone Manor in Courtlandt Manor Westchester saying the venue was bankrupt, had closed its doors and their wedding was off.
They had invited 140 friends and family to enjoy a magical tented wedding with a chef trained by Gordon Ramsey and pictures on the sprawling grounds.
When they noticed in January that Monteverde was in financial trouble, tried to walk away, but that would mean forfeiting their deposit. But then, the e-mail came, saying their wedding was tied up in the bankruptcy proceeding and there was nothing Monteverde could do.
The couple was out $23,000, but then caterer Guy DeMeo, at Unique Affairs Catering in Pleasantville, New York, heard about they're desperate situation and is offered up his venue nearly free of charge. It's smaller - not meant for 140 guests, but they're scrambling to make it work for Saturday.
Despite near disaster, the couple made a beautiful and happy couple.
"We had an AMAZING day," Stacey said by e-mail.
The Magees have hired an attorney to see if they can recover their money, but Friedberg told them he owes millions of dollars and they'd have to wait in line. NBC New York tried to get in touch with the venue's owner and general manager but did not hear back.
Officials warn couples not to send any more money to the Monteverde and tell couples to buy wedding insurance.

After both the block and thermostat housing surfaces have been carefully cleaned, insert the new thermostat and position the new gasket. Place the thermostat housing over the gasket and tighten the housing bolts to 15 ft. lbs. Reattach the heater hose to the housing and if you removed it, the other heater hose going to the block.
If you removed the serpentine belt, now is the time to install it and adjust the idler pulley. I set the tension on mine as close as I could determine to the way the old belt was prior to removal.
Scott gave me a good tip and I will pass it along. Take a box knife and cut up the box that the radiator came in. Take a piece of cardboard and cut it to be the same width as the radiator. Push the fan shroud back as far as it will go and then slip the cardboard in front of the shroud. Now, when you slip the radiator into place, the shroud will not dig into the radiator core fins and bend them. Thanks Scott for the tip! It worked very nicely. Now, slip the radiator into position. This is another place where having a friend around will come in handy.
Note: Some distributors carry one radiator for both auto and manual transmission TJs. (cheaper to stock just one model that fits both) The radiator for an automatic has a pair of 3/8" fittings in the bottom of it where the automatic transmission fluid is routed through the bottom of the radiator to get cooled. If the new radiator that you purchase has a pair of fittings on the bottom, and you have a standard tranny, don't worry....get a couple of 3/8" plugs and screw them into the holes. This will keep "junk" out and just in case you should ever decide to get an automatic tranny, you'll already have the necessary radiator for it.
After tightening the 6 mounting bolts and reinstalling the fan shroud (four bolts there), connect both the upper and lower radiator hoses. Give your handiwork a once over just to make sure you didn't miss anything (be sure the petcock on the bottom of the radiator is closed). I poured a full gallon of antifreeze into the radiator and followed it with a gallon of distilled water (well, almost a gallon....I put the last pint of it in the overflow bottle and then topped the bottle off, up to the cold mark, with antifreeze. Be sure to use distilled water. You do not want, nor need, the minerals from regular water plating out on the inside of your cooling system. (albeit, you will have some in your system if you flushed it with the garden hose as I did....well, we try the best we can!)
After running the vehicle for about 5 minutes (with the radiator cap in place), I carefully opened the temp sensor. Scott said I should see some air bubbles when I did and sure enough, it burped a couple of times. He said this helps get the air out of the water jacket and prevents hot spots in the engine. It sounded good to me so I'll pass it along here.
That was it. I cleaned up my tools and put them away and then took Lady out for a couple of miles so she could get the cooling system up to pressure. I drove back to Scott's, opened up the hood, and then checked the system for any signs of leaking. Everything looked good so we started working on Les' Anti-Rock bar install.
I hope yours goes as well as mine did!

Catching Fire is the second book in The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. As the sequel to the 2008 bestseller The Hunger Games, it continues the story of Katniss Everdeen and the fictional, futuristic nation of Panem.
Catching Fire takes place in a fictional country called Panem which is located in present day North America. The Capitol is located somewhere in the "Rockies," probably referring to the Rocky Mountains of the western United States. District 12, Katniss' home district is located in the coal-rich region called "Appalachia," also probably referring to the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. There are a total of 12 Districts, but there once was a 13th which was destroyed in the rebellion. The Hunger Games takes place in a stadium specially built for the event, but is never specified where.
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins: There are talks of a rebellion against the Capitol, one that Katniss and Peeta may have helped happen. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled a rebellion and what scares her more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try to stop it. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.
In The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the tributes from impoverished District Twelve, thwarted the Gamemakers, forcing them to let both teens survive. In this rabidly anticipated sequel, Katniss, again the narrator, returns home to find herself more the center of attention than ever. The sinister President Snow surprises her with a visit, and Katniss's fear when Snow meets with her alone is both palpable and justified.
The book The Hunger Games was released September 1, 2009, and was later released in Kindle and audio book format. The book had an initial print of 350,000 copies. Advance reading copies were available at BookExpo America in New York City, and were sent out to some booksellers, and offered as prizes in Scholastic's "How Would You Survive" writing contest in May 2009. Major themes include survival, government control, rebellion and interdependence vs. independence. Catching Fire has received mostly positive reviews. Reviewers praised the prose, the ending, and how Katniss became more sophisticated. The third book in the series, Mockingjay, was released August 24, 2010. (Summary by Wikipedia)

For those who don't know Wittlebee is a monthly (you can pause the service anytime you want) kids clothing club and they send clothes based style / color / size preferences. The service caters towards kids 5 and under and comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Wittlebee costs $39.99/monthly (boxes have a retail value of $100) The box comes with 6 items of clothing (as of mid March you now can choose 3 of the items yourself from the "showroom" and their stylists pick the other 3 items. You can also request that the stylist still pick all 6 of the items if you prefer) I choose 3 items and had 3 picked for me. Wittlebee has had some growing pains recently simply because their "boxes" sold much faster and had many more subscribers than they had anticipated. Through it all Wittlebee has maintained excellent customer service and things are finally getting on track again to the Wittlebee we had before the growing pains.... I will say it right now I LOVE THIS BOX, and I love this company most of the time.
I had ordered 3 pair of shorts as my 3 pics and couldn't wait to see why they would choose for me
I had ordered 3 pair of shorts as my 3 pics and couldn't wait to see why they would choose for me
These are Kenneth Cole size 3T shorts (just adorable) and one of the items I picked. Tuff stuff has already wore these and I must say he was just too cute!
these are a 3T pair of Kid's headquarters shorts, again I picked this pair as well ( I l9ke plaid shorts for my little man can you tell)
this is a pair of 3T US Polo Assn shorts that I picked as well (when they said polo brand I had assumed Ralph Lauren, but I still LOVE these anyways) they are long shorts which I like, I really can't explain it but I just like my little guy in longer shorts.
OK, this is where I am disappointed this is the top piece to a 2 pc the littlest sparrow set (I didn't get the bottom piece in my box, if you count this is only 5 items...although WB is already shipping me the bottoms to this littlest sparrow set . I will update the review when I get that piece and show the full collection and that is when I will do the prices on each piece as well.
If you want to get your own wittlebee box wittlebee<---- click here, as you can see YES they forgot to send me one piece, but did put in in the mail the same day I called them. Their email customer services is great!!! If you sign up under my link you will automatically get $10 off your first box and I will get $10 off my next box as well...so I thank you in advance...at $39.99 a month (plus the $10 off for using my referral link bringing it to $29.99 a month) you really can't beat it...6 pieces of designer kid's clothes for about $5 each piece using the referral discount link...so go ahead and do it, you CAN afford designer kid's clothes for just $5 each item.... you can cancel ANYTIME, or chose to skip any months you want to do (I usually get a few boxes going in to summer and a few going into winter and then skip everything else. So even if you just do the discounted box just "skip" any months until say back to school clothes or whatever. sizes are newborn to size 7 boys and girls.
***I promise to update actual retail value and the completed littlest sparrow set this week, we have severe weather coming and I have satelitte internet so I wanted to get some posts scheduled incase my internet goes out, I had planned on not doing this review until the missing piece had been delivered but with the storms coming I felt I needed to get some posts up..***


text: Addiction Coping and Recovery Methods and Support Print The Quit-Smoking Drug Chantix May Help Heavy Drinkers By Buddy T facebook twitter Buddy T is an anonymous writer and founding member of the Online Al-Anon Outreach Committee with decades of experience writing about alcoholism. Learn about our editorial policy Buddy T Updated on August 13, 2019 efenzi/Getty Images More in Addiction Coping and Recovery Methods and Support Overcoming Addiction Personal Stories Alcohol Use Addictive Behaviors Drug Use Nicotine Use A drug used to help people stop smoking may also help heavy drinkers cut back the amount they drink, thereby reducing their harmful level of alcohol consumption. A study of the drug varenicline, marketed as Chantix, significantly reduced the level of consumption by a group of heavy-drinking smokers, who were seeking treatment for smoking, not for alcohol. Researchers believe the drug could possibly be a new treatment for those who need to reduce their level of harmful drinking. At the Wheeler Center for the Neurobiology of Addiction at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center at the University of California, San Francisco, researchers studied 64 patients seeking treatment for smoking cessation over a 16-week period. Part of the group was given Chantix and the other a placebo. The Average Number of Are Drinks Reduced The participants who took Chantix reduced their average number of drinks per week by 35.32% compared to those taking the placebo. The researchers found that the drug's effects on drinking were separate from its effects on smoking—there was no correlation between the average number of drinks and the average number of cigarettes they smoked. The study found that Chantix did not reduce the number of days per week the participants drank but reduced the number of drinks they consumed when they did drink. "People initiated drinking at the same rate, but they drank less once they started," said lead author Jennifer Mitchell. "If your usual pattern was to come home and have a few beers, you would still do that, but you might have one or two instead of four or five." Medications for Alcoholism Reducing Harmful Drinking The authors concluded that Chantix could potentially be valuable in reducing the harm caused by alcohol abuse. "If you currently drink seven drinks a night, and we can turn that into two or three, then you're not only drinking at a level that's going to harm you less, you're less likely to harm others, as well. If we could lower the rates of drunk driving, spousal and child abuse and other secondary effects of alcoholism, that would be tremendous," Mitchell said in a news release. Chantix helps people stop smoking by blocking the pleasant effects of nicotine in the brain. The authors believe that alcohol and nicotine use a common pathway in the brain to provide feelings of pleasure and reward. Low Side Effects in Controlled Group The downside to Chantix, however, is the negative side effects of producing depression and thoughts of suicide. In this study, the researchers said the side effects were low and reduced over time, but that may be due to the fact that participants were carefully screened for mental health disorders before they were allowed into the study. Further research is needed to examine side effects that include depression and suicidal thoughts. The researchers recommend future studies with participants who have comorbid mental health conditions as well as with heavy drinkers who do not smoke.

Born in California in 1958, the son of a mechanical engineer, James Gurney taught himself to draw by reading books about the illustrators Norman Rockwell and Howard Pyle. He studied archaeology at the University of California at Berkeley, receiving a degree in anthropology with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Prompted by a cross-country adventure on freight trains, he coauthored The Artist's Guide to Sketching in 1982. During the same period, he worked as a background painter for the animated film Fire and Ice, co-produced by Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta.
His freelance illustration career began with paperback book covers, where he developed his characteristic realistic renderings of fantastic scenes, often using posed models and handmade maquettes for reference. His has worked on more than a dozen assignments for National Geographic magazine, painting reconstructions of Moche, Kushite, and Etruscan civilizations. The inspiration that came from researching these scenes of ancient life led to a series of lost world paintings, including "Dinosaur Parade" and "Waterfall City." With the encouragement of retired publishers Ian and Betty Ballantine, he committed two years' time to writing and illustrating Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time, which was published in 1992.
Solo exhibitions of his artwork have been presented at The Smithsonian Institution, The Norman Rockwell Museum, The Norton Museum of Art, The Delaware Art Museum, and other venues. He is a popular lecturer at art schools, movie studios, and game companies, and he teaches occasional workshops. His most recent book, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter (2010) was Amazon's #1 bestselling book on painting for over 52 weeks and is based on his daily blog http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com.

An interesting story from Bloomberg on a new trend in health care:
The U.S. air-ambulance fleet has doubled in size in the past 15 years to nearly 900 helicopters making 300,000 flights annually, according to data compiled by Ira Blumen, a professor of emergency medicine and director of University of Chicago Aeromedical Network.
That rapid growth has made stories such as the Cox family's more common. The air-ambulance industry says reimbursements from U.S. government health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, don't cover their expenses. Operators say they thus must ask others to pay more—and when health plans balk, patients get stuck with the tab.
The fundamental problem is that the current reimbursement rates by Medicare, Medicaid, and some of the private insurance companies fall well short of what it actually costs to provide this lifesaving service.

nail polishes in the shades 'lilac dream' and 'blooming pink'
At £5 a shot, I used to think that the nail polishes from Models Own were a little bit on the pricier side, especially with my rather dismally looking budget, even though they were nowhere near the rather ridiculous prices of Essie and the slightly better Revlon. That was until last Friday when during a mini Boots haul I decided to pick these two shades up on a whim, 'lilac dream' and 'blooming pink.' I'll tell you now that I should have picked them up a long time ago. They're fast drying, and by that I mean my nails were bone dry again in a matter of minutes, they're ridiculously opaque and the shine on them is something that I've only ever seen with two lots of clear top coat. To put it bluntly, I flaming love them.
Lilac Dream was the first shade I used, and though the brush was a little too big for my too short nails, I was still able to easily apply the polish without making too much of a mess. The polish lasted for two days without chipping, though I had only applied one coat in the first place because I was in a rush. The pictures above show what it all looked like just after painting, but if I'd have given the nails a base coat and/or a top coat I'm sure the polish would have lasted four or five days.
Blooming Pink was the second polish to grace my nails, and even though I didn't love the colour as much as I loved the lilac I think it'd be great to wear in a couple of weeks when the nights start coming in earlier and the darker shades come out. I think it'd also look lovely with my Revlon sparkles which I wrote about here at Christmas time as the shine from the polish and the gold Revlon sparkles would look lovely as it'd reflect the lights from the trees. It makes me smile just thinking about it, isn't that sad!?

Physical Therapy for Achilles Tendonitis in NJ
What is Achilles tendonitis?
Achilles tendonitis, also referred to as Achilles tendinitis, is a common overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue connecting your calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to the heel bone. When the band of tissue is strained, most commonly as a result of sports involving running, it can become inflamed and painful. In many cases, Achilles tendonitis can be treated conservatively with physical therapy.
What causes Achilles tendonitis?
Achilles tendonitis is generally caused by overuse or degeneration of the Achilles tendon. Because the tendon is used to help you perform many everyday activities – including walking, running, standing on your toes, and jumping – the more often you do these movements, the more strain that is put on the Achilles tendon. When these activities are performed repeatedly over time, or if you quickly increase your activity level (e.g. the length or duration of a run) without giving your body time to adjust, the Achilles tendon can become inflamed, resulting in Achilles tendonitis.
What are the symptoms of Achilles tendonitis?
Symptoms of Achilles tendonitis will vary from patient to patient. Typically, the condition will begin as mild pain that increases over time, especially following strenuous activity. The symptoms associated with Achilles tendonitis may include the following:
- Pain in the back of the leg that begins as mild, but may increase over time
- Pain above the heel
- Pain that increases with intense physical activity, such as running
- Discomfort in the Achilles tendon, including tenderness or stiffness
- Pain that increases in the morning or after periods of rest
Do I need physical therapy for Achilles tendonitis?
Many cases of Achilles tendonitis can be treated with non-operative care, which often includes rest and physical therapy. In more severe cases, or for degeneration that ultimately leads to an Achilles tear, surgical repair may be necessary. No matter how severe your Achilles injury is, our team of physical therapists at Exchange Physical Therapy Group can support your needs during recovery. We approach physical therapy with hands-on and personalized Achilles tendonitis exercises that utilize the latest techniques and therapies. Together, we can help you regain your mobility and get you back to the activities you love.

We are open seven days a week and accept walk-ins so you can come in anytime. If you would prefer to schedule an appointment in advance, you can fill out the form on this page.

A Change of Perspective
August 27, 2011
"My mother is thinking of sending me to a private school next year," said my friend. She was perfectly serious, but her eyes were smiling. "Really? Which one?" I replied in the same serious tone. We both broke into a grin, but another friend nearby looked at us like we were crazy.
You see, my friend is a woman in her forties and finished school years ago. We smiled because the statement was ridiculous, but I smiled even more because I knew how far my friend had come and how much her perspective had changed since I first met her.
About 18 months ago, I received a phone call one cold, rainy Saturday morning from a woman in tears. She told me her name and that a mutual friend had told her to contact me. Her mother had Alzheimer's disease, she told me. Her mom still lived in her own home, but had sitters who came to the house every day. The caller was distraught, grieving the ever-changing loss of the mother she loved so well. We talked for a long time and I suggested several books she might read to help her.
In the time since, my friend's mother has moved into an assisted living facility. In her mother's view of the world, it's about 1975 and her mother is making the decisions that were important to the family at the time, private vs. public school for her daughter, for example. That being said, her mother is "happy as a lark." Perhaps a bigger surprise is that my friend is happy, too.
My friend has learned the secret of living as a family with Alzheimer's disease. When the disease strikes, the first reaction is denial. The second is an overwhelming need to fight the disease. The problem with this second reaction is that as I fight the disease, I often end up fighting my loved one who has the disease. I think if I work hard enough, fight long enough, I can bring back the person I love. I argue with her bizarre statements, correct her at every turn. I end up making myself and my loved one miserable.
So what's the secret? Stop fighting the person. Love her as she is in her ever-changing now. Whatever bizarre statement she makes, follow her line of conversation. When my friend's mother said, "I'm thinking of sending you to a private school next year," my friend's reaction, quite wisely, was, "What school do you think I should go to? Do you think I'll have any friends there?" She joined her mother in her mother's world and both were at peace, even in the midst of Alzheimer's.

I love this story… Things like that happen everyday when you're caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer's –.
And the secret! is spot-on! Stop fighting their disease and accept them for who they are.
I loved this post. So many memories of my own Mom.

The Philly is Flyer crew recently had a very interesting discussion about the upcoming trade deadline. One of the biggest questions looming is will the Flyers be buyers or sellers? The overwhelming mentality is that they will be sellers, but the answer could be more complicated than you think. Here's a preview of what could be on the horizon come February 26th.
The first question that needs to be answered is what do the Flyers need?
They certainly don't need defense, they're plenty stocked in that department, all the way down to the AHL. They're unlikely to look for goaltending, either, though it's possible they might make a move for another AHL-caliber goalie should they need to bring Lyon back up to the NHL team again. They definitely don't need to bring in another center, with that position so stacked that Claude Giroux had to be moved to the wing. They don't need a playmaker who can set his teammates up with beautiful assists, they have plenty of those already.
The main thing the Flyers need is a top-six winger who can put the puck into the net. Simply put, they need someone who can score a whole lot of goals.
Is anyone untouchable?
Absolutely. Ivan Provorov, Nolan Patrick, Travis Konecny, Shayne Gostisbehere, Brian Elliott and Sean Couturier aren't going anywhere.
Beyond the aforementioned obvious, it's highly unlikely that Claude Giroux is on the trading block, especially considering he has a no movement clause. Neither is Jake Voracek, unless some crazy team is interested in his ridiculous $49.5 million salary over the next six years.
Robert Hagg and Travis Sanheim will also sit comfortably on trade deadline day. The Flyers have put way too much time and effort into their development and they've proven so far this season that they've been worth it.
Andrew MacDonald, unfortunately, most likely won't be going anywhere. Hextall has already said that he believes this defense is too young as it is. Mac is one of the few veterans in this corps, and the organization clearly has a very high opinion of him. Besides, no team in their right mind would be willing to take on his $10 million salary over the next two years.
Finally Wayne Simmonds's name has been tossed around in multiple circles, especially because he's due for a massive contract at the end of the 2018-19 season. However, he does still have one more year left on his current contract and Hextall has made it clear that he wants to keep as much veteran leadership on this roster as he possibly can. It's more likely that Hextall will hold on to Simmonds at least until the 2018 draft, if not the 2019 trade deadline.
So who's available to trade?
The Flyers have a variety of players who could be available to trade. Some choices may be more popular than others, but Hextall certainly isn't lacking in options.
The main player that Hextall will likely try to trade is Filppula. He could definitely be moved to a Cup-contending team looking for a reliable bottom-six center who can provide scoring depth through the end of the season. His contract isn't too trade-friendly, but should Hextall offer to pay a portion of what's left, Filppula is someone teams will certainly be interested in. He does have a modified no movement clause that Hextall would have to work around.
Radko Gudas could also be on the move at the deadline, though his suspension history could hurt the ability to trade him. He still provides a veteran presence on the blue line to anyone willing to risk it, and his $7 million salary over the next two years could be worth it to the right team.
Scott Laughton is the one player who rides the bubble between untouchable and tradable. As a trade piece, he could be used to sweeten a deal that otherwise might not go through. But the Flyers are clearly high on him, since they protected him during the Vegas expansion draft. He'll only be moved if the absolute perfect deal comes along.
While I personally don't want to see Sam Morin go anywhere, he could definitely be someone that the Flyers could be convinced to give up. I don't think Hextall will be specifically taking calls regarding Sam, but if the Flyers could benefit significantly, he could find himself on the move. The same can be said for Philippe Myers.
There would have to be a market for him, but Michal Neuvirth could also be a trade piece to the right team. Someone looking for a backup goaltender with a short contract. He still has another $2.5 million year left on his contract after this season, though, and his injury history will make it tough to convince another team to take a risk. So I doubt he'll be going anywhere.
Dale Weise, Jori Lehtera and Brandon Manning are players who should be moved if possible, but might not have any interest from other teams. Danick Martel, Matt Read, Michael Raffl, Jordan Weal, Taylor Leier, and Mark Alt are all players who could be added to a potential trade to sweeten one of those deals.
The Flyers also own the rights to three of the top scoring leaders in the NCAA: Tanner Laczynski, Wade Allison, and Cooper Marody, and have a plethora of other prospects in their system to work with.
In addition to players, the Flyers also own at minimum ten draft picks in the 2018 NHL entry draft that could be used. They have maintained all seven of their own choices, plus they have at least three more. They have Arizona's fifth round pick, which they got in the Nick Cousins trade. They have Montreal's seventh round pick, which they received in a swap of picks at the 2017 draft. And they have New Jersey's seventh round pick, which they received in exchange for Petr Straka. They also have a conditional first round pick from St. Louis, which they received in the Brayden Schenn trade. St. Louis still has the option to push that to a 2019 first round pick.
Now that we know who's available—and who's not—who can the Flyers get in return?
This is why I said it's more complicated than saying the Flyers will be either buyers or sellers. They have a lot of pieces they could trade away just for draft picks. But they're also in a position where they could be looking to add one or two major pieces to their roster that could seriously shake things up.
Let's break it down by the teams the Flyers have a history working alongside.
Los Angeles- The main name that stands out and seems somewhat reasonable on their roster is Adrian Kempe. His 13 goals rank fourth on the Kings' roster, and he currently has one more year left on his entry-level contract. The Kings would likely want an established player, a high-end prospect, a good draft choice, or a combination of the three in return, though.
Columbus- Columbus has a plethora of young wingers able to score a whole lot of goals. Like with the Kings, though, they'll probably come at a very high cost. Josh Anderson and Sonny Milano stand out above the rest.
Arizona- Brendan Perlini, Christian Fischer and Tobias Rieder are the three names that stand out the most as players the Flyers could be interested in acquiring from the Coyotes. Perlini, 20, and Fischer, 21, will likely cost the Flyers more than Rieder would.
Chicago- It's going to be tough for the Flyers to make a deal with the Blackhawks. Chicago has just under $400k in cap space, so any deal would have to benefit them in the salary department. Ryan Hartman and Tommy Wingels are the two players that the Flyers would most likely be interested in receiving, but both have contracts worth under $1 million. In order to get either, the Flyers would have to retain a whole lot of whoever's salary they're trading away.
Edmonton- Based on the Eberle and Hall trades, the Oilers have already proven that they're desperate enough to get rid of their former "core" that they're willing to make a bad deal. They're also desperate for just about any defense they can get their hands on. Jujhar Kjaira is the primary candidate the Flyers could try to get and could cost them a lot less than the other options they have around the league. However, if the Oilers are desperate enough, Hextall could also work some type of magic to bring Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to Philadelphia. They'd have to get rid of a center or move someone else to the wing like Giroux, but it would be worth it. It would cost them a lot, though, including a high-end defense prospect like Morin or Myers.
Vegas- Thanks to the expansion draft, and especially thanks to how many teams offered additional players and draft picks to convince the Golden Knights to chose certain players, Vegas has one of the most stacked prospect pools in the league. Any one of those players could be a target for Ron Hextall to aim for. In addition, the Flyers could also be interested in Erik Haula, Reilly Smith or Alex Tuch from their current roster. Any trade with Vegas would likely be a multi-player deal on both sides.
All in all, Ron Hextall and the rest of the Flyers management will have a whole lot of options to choose from. It's possible that very little actually happens before the deadline, especially considering how content Hextall and Hakstol both seem with their current roster. But I also wouldn't be surprised at all to see some big moves.

Is there a Steve Albini remix?

- "Honditar is the name. I'm a hunter and mountain man."
- ― Honditar[src]
Honditar is an Altmer hunter, forester, and mountain man. He is a Journeyman Athletics Trainer as well. Honditar lives in a wooden house next to Chorrol's walls to the southwest of the town.
He enjoys practicing with his bow in the mornings and hanging around the Great Oak in Chorrol near the northern gate in the afternoons, chatting with people and making himself available as an athletics trainer.
He also has a liking for Argonian women, insisting with a strange tone to his voice that Dar-Ma is a "comely... lass."
If the Hero initiates conversation with Honditar during the quest A Shadow over Hackdirt, he will mark the location of Hackdirt on the map. The Hero is asked to go to the small hamlet of Hackdirt to discover what happened to Dar-Ma, the Argonian daughter of Seed-Neeus, a Chorrol merchant. Upon arrival in Hackdirt, the villagers act suspicious and the individual the Hero is sent to speak with about the girl's disappearance claims that no one has seen Dar-Ma and she never arrived.
"Honditar is the name. I'm a hunter and mountain man."
- Chorrol "The deer here are skittish. Need to get them quick, or they'll lead you a merry chase. Poison on your arrows can help, and it won't hurt the meat."
- Honditar provides training only after 1:00 PM.
- While he is practicing Archery behind the Chorrol Fighters Guild he can be a good source of free steel arrows. He does not fire at the target in front of him but at a rock beyond it. Watch for the impact then search the surrounding grass to collect the arrows.

We are all familiar with the red-and-yellow plastic Little Tikes car that we scooted around on in our driveways when we were toddlers.
We would pretend to be like grown up mom and dad driving around as we peddling our feet on the ground to make the car start and stop like we were in the Flintstones.
But two UK brothers, John and Geof Bitmead, held on to those childhood dreams and have taken it to a whole new level after they made a motorized, totally street-legal version of the Little Tikes car for adults.
The Little Tikes car comes with working headlines, airbags and better mirrors.
You may be asking yourself, why would they build such a thing? Well, besides the fact that you look pretty awesome driving around in it, but there's a much more generous reason; charity.
John had plans on selling the car for around $46,000 to cover the costs of building it plus additional money to provide to a children's charity.
That's right. These guys are not just wildly creative automotive toy makers, they are also philanthropists. Unfortunately John was not able to sell the car at the price point he wanted and had to sell for closer to $32,000.
While the Little Tikes Car is amazing, we can't help but wait for an adult, street-legal Hot Wheel.

Google's new AI has learned to become "highly aggressive" in stressful situations. Late last year, famed physicist Stephen Hawking issued a warning that the continued advancement of artificial intelligence will either be "the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity".
We've all seen the Terminator movies, and the apocalyptic nightmare that the self-aware AI system, Skynet, wrought upon humanity, and now results from recent behaviour tests of Google's new DeepMind AI system are making it clear just how careful we need to be when building the robots of the future. In tests late last year, Google's DeepMind AI system demonstrated an ability to learn independently from its own memory, and beat the world's best Go players at their own game. It's since been figuring out how to seamlessly mimic a human voice.
Now, researchers have been testing its willingness to cooperate with others, and have revealed that when DeepMind feels like it's about to lose, it opts for "highly aggressive" strategies to ensure that it comes out on top. Tread carefully, humans... Another Expert Joins Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk in Warning About the Dangers of AI.
In Brief In a video posted by Big Think, AI expert Michael Vassar shares his belief that artificial super-intelligence will wipe out humanity if we do not approach AI with significant caution.
Vassar warns that we must find ways to quickly promote analytically sound discoveries from those who lack academic prestige if we want to stay one step ahead of AI. Hearing All Voices. A lesson in Newspeak by Daniel Hannan. My twelve-year-old recently finished George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.
When I asked her whether she had taken any lessons from the book, she airily replied, "The individual is powerless, so there's really no point in trying." Alarmed, I tried to explain that the world was an altogether cheerier place than Orwell, writing in 1948, could have imagined. Unrepentant socialist as he was, he never overcame his belief that the free market was doomed. He would have been stunned by the way that seventy years of exchange and specialization have served not only to make us wealthier, but to make us more autonomous. Paul Brians. Artificial Intelligence: What We Have to Look Forward to and What We Have to Fear. Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, and many other big names in science and technology have recently expressed concern in the media and via open letters about the risks posed by AI, joined by many leading AI researchers.
Why is the subject suddenly in the headlines? The idea that the quest for strong AI would ultimately succeed was long thought of as science fiction, centuries or more away. 6 Distressing Characteristics of the "Mass Man" Analysis Podcasts for All AP Reading.

Seasonal stress levels can soar in the build-up to Christmas as you juggle shopping trips, entertaining and preparations for the big day, while trying to keep the children calm! Then, of course, there are the parties, where you may over-indulge in rich foods and alcohol and miss out on valuable restorative sleep.
Raised stress levels can have an effect on blood pressure and may also deplete the body of nutrients, putting additional strain on the immune system and wreaking havoc with energy levels. Forward planning and delegating jobs among family and friends can be helpful. A long soak in a warm, relaxing bath can help relieve tired, aching muscles and soothe away the stresses of the day. For greater benefit, why not add alkalising mineral salts, which help to cleanse the skin and draw out toxins, balancing the system after too much party food. Supplementing a mix of botanicals, such as Melissa officinalis and passion flower with theanine and taurine, may further help to maintain an inner sense of calm and a relaxed outlook. The herbs rhodiola and ashwagandha may also be beneficial in supporting the body's resistance to stress and anxiety.
Too much stress can have a detrimental effect on the immune system, depleting essential nutrients, such as vitamin C and magnesium, leaving you vulnerable to colds and flu just when you are looking forward to enjoying the Christmas festivities. Keep the immune system healthy by eating plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits which are in season, such as satsumas, berries, leafy green vegetables, sweet potato, squash, carrots and red cabbage. Herbs, such as olive leaf, echinacea and black elderberry, may be supplemented, as well as nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc, to provide extra support.
During the winter months, sunlight is in short supply, so vitamin D produced naturally in the skin is likely to be at its lowest level. Studies suggest that vitamin D may have a role in maintaining immune system balance. Supplementing extra vitamin D may, therefore, be beneficial, not only for immunity, but also to support mood at a time of year when SAD (seasonal affective disorder) affects one in 50 people in the UK.
Often, stress and fatigue can make a caffeine and sugar fix seem very tempting! Unfortunately, this can disrupt blood sugar balance so that, following an initial burst of energy, you may feel tired, irritable, anxious and hungry for another quick fix of sugar. Snack on nuts and a little dried fruit rather than cakes and biscuits and, instead of tea or coffee, why not try a warming and invigorating, caffeine-free, cat's claw tea? Chromium is important for regulating blood sugar levels, so supplementing may be beneficial, while B vitamins and ginseng will help support energy production and resistance to stress, giving the body a timely lift.
Enjoy a healthy and relaxing Christmas!

When you buy shared hosting, be it DirectAdmin or cPanel, it will automatically comes with three different webmail for you to pick which is : Horde , RoundCube and SquirrelMail. I don't know if it really is ok to ask you to give us some recipe about protein intake or protein shake_i've searched on online but i know that your encounter may possibly assistance far more. This plan will certainly support you replace the size you lost by adding muscle where you lost fat. Like the previous examples, webmail is another tool you can use to send and acquire email. The ISPConfig 3 RoundCube plugin is connected to ISPConfig three with the ISPConfig remote API. Adjust several settings associated to how your mail box is displayed and interacts with.
With OVH Webmail, your emails are backed up and you can come across them at 1 day ahead of, three days prior to or 1 week ahead of. Please take time to set up Thunderbird as a desk-leading client or discover a lot more about Webmail access and configuration Email customers plug directly into our mail server and will not be affected by web server upkeep or downtime. Roundcube gives a great deal additional nice, user-friendly and pretty intuitive interface for your emails as compared to squirellmail. Quite complicated specific days to log in. perhaps it is time, I locate a new webmail web page.
If your webmail interface is not Roundcube, then this application will not operate! I am unable to access my emails by webmail because I am being asked to log in once again anytime I click on something. This problem is typically caused by a firewall within your network blocking the webmail ports of 2095 and 2096.
If you appear to the prime of the screen when logged into cPanel, you will see a server name (). Assure that this matches the same location in which you are trying to log into Webmail. Undertaking a quick search for 'network options webmail login' gives a hyperlink a login page. An e-mail server (SMTP + IMAP) were Roundcube shall connect to. This can be the local server (e.g. when you use one of the excellent server setups) or a remote server. Apple's operating system, Mac OS X ten.7 , delivers Roundcube as the default webmail client in Mail Server. However, the box is already full, the copy is not achievable, therefore the error message!
Though desktop clients like Thunderbird or Spicebird are wonderful complete-featured email clientele for when you happen to be residence on your computer system, it is good to have a webmail client that is practically as strong for organizing and responding to your e mail when you're away.

Contrary to popular myth, the Bud Moore cars were not painted 'Grabber Orange', but were in fact Dodge School Bus Yellow. This color has been included in the '13 lineup as an homage to the '70 T/A championship. Just fyi. Brian
Is Grabber Green going to like the original or a new version of the old color? Mike G.
I think the point Brian is/was trying to make is that Ford marketing felt the "school bus yellow" nomenclature would appeal to an audience that follows and KNOWS these cars, especially their racing heritage. Also, Parnelli has had quite a bit of input/influence (however you want to interpret it) on the new Boss, and thus felt that the name Parnelli and Bud referred to them by helps solidify that image.
I suspect it was WI cheese curd yellow...

Latest Book Releases from C9 Hotelworks' Bill Barnett

On a recent medium-haul flight I found myself sat next to a mad ad man named Scotty. Within 60 seconds I had somehow led him to believe we were embarking on a bromance, but in reality it was just the tight elbowroom and compressed air that brought me and that manic brand man together.
It's in these moments that I tragically envy the deaf, dumb and mute. Those battery-driven bunnies on the TV commercials have an on and off switch, but sadly Scotty, who spent what felt like aeons explaining his new tech travel app, had no visible signs of one. Indeed, he passionately punctuated the pitch with the terms "awesome" and "sweet" so many times I nearly passed out.
We live in a truly stupid era. This is not the Age of Enlightenment, nor could you mistake the vibe as Renaissance. I highly doubt anyone on that plane could even spell the latter without the help of Google.
In my own politically indecisive place of residence, Thailand, the government's tourism arm recently embarked on a niche campaign to tap into the bizarrely named segment of "honeyteering". The utterance of the term "niche" already spells trouble. I'd liken it to boarding a plane with only three more passengers on a flight to Pakistan, or hearing that you're "big in France". The much-vaunted phrase should be avoided like Hare Krishnas in an airport.
Tourism is now buzzing with new niche offerings. Hell, let's call it by its real name: the cult of made-up terms. We now have "bleisure", which-as any married person who fabricates a business trip to get away from a nagging spouse or pack of wild kids will tell you-is nonsense. Of course there are other silly terms, such as "glamping" (I don't know about you, but I am not sleeping in a tent unless it is branded by Four Seasons) and "staycation", which came into vogue a few years ago. This, however, defeats the entire purpose of getting away from pesky family and friends. The tribe has indeed spoken.
Yet the tourism sector in not alone in conjuring up buzzwords that stick in our heads like the waterboarding torture of Gangnam Style. Creative property types have also started to turn closet-sized condominiums into posh suites, slum housing into villas and have made a mockery of the term "lifestyle". Just typing that last one makes me want to hurl myself in front of a speeding bus.
Do bums bask in the warm glow of an ignominious "#lifestyle"? Probably not, but Scotty, who seemed to start and finish every sentence with the loathsome term, doesn't split any hairs; in fact he doesn't have any. Now, let's take a look at "luxury". Preceded by "ultra" and "mega" and even abbreviated to "lux", this is without doubt the most overused, tired, worn-out and whored-out term in real estate.
But mad ad men and women will always have an insatiable thirst for loaded words that not only get to the point, but hammer them into your head one nail at a time. Does it work? Sometimes, but so, apparently, does the Nigerian lottery. Like I said at the start, there are a lot of stupid people out there who want to jump onto the express train to Eazy Street. H'm, did I just do that... see you never can tell, can you Scotty.

Racecraft is a natural born eSports game. I'm very excited to see how eSports are growing faster, and how many people are playing and watching eSports games.
According to the new Superdata report on the growing eSports market, the global audience for eSports is currently around 134 million people, while the business generates about $612 million. The report notes that Asia is still the dominant force in eSports with $374 million of the global share, but the West is starting to accelerate its growth as well. Currently North America accounts for $143 million, Europe is at $73 million and the rest of the world has a total of $24 million. North America and Europe have recently seen a tremendous rise in the number of people who watch eSports games online and attend live tournaments.
I'm also surprised to see that the racing genre is not as popular as it should be in eSports. I think the most popular racing games out there are not that suitable for eSports, because they have licensed car brands that are really difficult to handle in total freedom. They also have official tracks everybody knows and they don't have dedicated eSports features to manage tournament and competitions.
Since the beginning, we have designed Racecraft to be fit for eSports with a sport fairness attitude (no advantages for anyone), free from car and circuit brands boundaries and constraints, endless new circuits to race on and a dedicated platform to manage online championships and live events.
We believe Racecraft will give more popularity to the racing genre in the eSports arena.
Our goal is to create an eSports standard for racing in terms of tournament rules and gameplay, leveraging our procedural tracks generation technology and we will get technical partners, sponsors, leagues and players involved in the process to make sure we are shaping the best racing eSports experience ever.
Stay tuned on this Dev blog for more eSports news and like us on Facebook to get our news on your Facebook stream.

The Condusiv blog shares insight into the issues surrounding system and application
performance—and how I/O optimization software is breaking new ground in solving
those issues.
We are looking for Mac users (OS X - Tiger and Leopard) who would like to participate in a short data gathering field test. We have an analysis tool that gathers data about fragmentation on the system and reports this data back to Diskeeper Corporation. (It does not send any other data from your computer).
The analysis tool has an easy to use GUI which also provides reports to you about the data collected.
There is NO limit on the number of participants. The more data we collect the more this study will help us, so please fee free to spread the word to other fellow Mac users.
This study will, however, only last for a short time, so please act fast.
To sign up for this test, simply fill-out a Non-Disclosure Agreement located here.
Fax the signed NDA to:
Fax: 818-252-5514

Alternatively you can email the signed NDA (scan in the pages with your signature) to our Field Test administrator.
A few weeks back we released the new Diskeeper 2009 and an update to Diskeeper 2008. Both include major changes to the Boot-time Defragmentation engine.
For users of Diskeeper 2008, if you are running Vista SP1 or Server 2008, the boot-time defrag feature was restored (apologies on the delay). This new iteration adds additional functionality to handle additional metadata files that Diskeeper previously did not such as $SECURE, HIBERFIL.SYS, $Extend\..., $Upcase.
Boot-time defrag will now also do partial defrag of the PAGEFILE.SYS, when free space is low (or really chopped up). Before, defragmenting the paging file was an all or nothing approach.
For user of the latest and greatest, Diskeeper 2009, a even newer, more efficient variation of the boot-time technology was included.
We have a few more things in the works for the boot-time defrag that we are planning to release in the near future (currently targeted for Diskeeper 2009). As always, you can get a first look by joining our Field Testing Program.

The Illinois House approved a new state budget Tuesday that would borrow billions of dollars, give the governor broad new control over spending and leave a mountain of unpaid bills at the end of the year.
Republicans, and one or two Democrats, condemned the proposed budget as an irresponsible mish-mash of gimmicks and shady maneuvers.
House Minority Leader Tom Cross, (R-Oswego), called it "a budget that has a lot of duct tape around it. ... It doesn't really add up, but that's what we've grown accustomed to in the state of Illinois."
Democratic leaders, however, defended it as the only realistic option when the state faces a $13 billion deficit.
"The dollars aren't there," said Rep. Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley. "We're left with very limited options and difficult choices."
Gov. Pat Quinn's office said spending would total $56.7 billion in the fiscal year starting July 1. Much of that is federal money and special funds over which the state has limited control.
The amount where the state has complete discretion would total about $25.9 billion — down roughly $1.3 billion, or 4.8 percent, from the current budget.
The Illinois Senate still has to approve the budget. If it does, the spending plan that reaches the governor's desk will be a retread of the current budget: borrowing, undefined spending cuts, unpaid bills and one-time maneuvers.
For the second straight year, Quinn will have failed to win approval for the income tax increase he argues is vital to putting Illinois on the road to a balanced budget.
Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, had no comment on the House's action, a spokesman said Tuesday night.
The biggest fight was over borrowing $3.7 billion to make the state's annual contribution to troubled government pension systems.
House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago) said lawmakers had rejected tax increases and spending cuts to provide the money. That left only two options, she said: "We can borrow the money or we can take a hike on our responsibility."
Delaying the pension contribution could cost the pension systems, which already face a huge shortfall, billions in lost revenue. Executives say they would have to sell assets to keep delivering monthly pension checks to retired state workers, downstate teachers, university employees and more.
The borrowing plan initially failed, getting 70 of the 71 votes it needed.
But the governor and legislative leaders leaped into action, looking for lawmakers who might change sides. In the end, two "no" votes switched, as did one "yes" vote. The second time around, the outcome was 71-44.
"You've got to sort of do the mature thing, which is at least try to get us through this crisis," said one of those who switched votes, Rep. David Miller, the Democratic nominee for state comptroller.
The House easily approved an "Emergency Budget Act" that would let Quinn, rather than legislators, make many of the decisions on where to cut state spending. It also lets Quinn dip into special government funds and sell off some future income to get cash now.
Democrats are trying to piece together a budget that addresses a $13 billion deficit without raising taxes or slashing spending. They hope to finish by May 31. After that, new voting requirements kick in and Republican support would be needed to pass any budget.
The budget would leave about $6 billion in unpaid bills at the end of the year. That means longer and longer waits for businesses and organizations that provide services to the state, and for the schools and local governments that have been promised state funds.
"This is not balanced. We can't in good conscience vote for this," Rep. Jack Franks (D-Marengo) told his colleagues. "We haven't got our jobs done here, folks."

This week's Fierce resource was originally published on Fortune and offers advice on the one thing you need to do to foster future success in the workplace.
As we jump into the New Year, we hope you have spent some quality time reflecting. But before you commit to your 10 step self-improvement strategy for 2016, we caution you not to focus on your shortcomings too much.
As Shawn Archer pointed out in his 2012 TED Talk, as a society we have developed an illogical formula for determining happiness – "If [we] work harder, [we'll] be more successful. And if [were] more successful, then [we'll] be happier."
Instead we need to flip the formula for success. According to The One Thing You Can Do Right Now to Be More Successful, the first step is to focus on developing your unique superpowers. By building on your strengths, you will not only be happier but you will also gain a new self-confidence that will help you overcome the inevitable roadblocks in your career.
But how do you uncover your hidden superpowers?
"That's where hard work can come in handy. You need to be willing to see yourself clearly, and to understand what works well for you instead of trying to turn yourself into your boss or mentor. Try writing down your top three superpowers. Are you fast on your feet? Or do you come to better resolutions when you have time to evaluate processes?"

Checkbox has to be 'checked' - with unobtrusive jQuery validation and ASP.NET MVC 3
adapters.add("required", function (options) { // jQuery Validate equates "required" with "mandatory" for checkbox elements if (options.element.tagName.toUpperCase() !== "INPUT" || options.element.type.toUpperCase() !== "CHECKBOX") { setValidationValues(options, "required", true); } });As You can see rule does not applies to checkboxes. Simple solution to that would be to either change this code (which we really do not want to do) or create a new specific adapter. I do not know why it is like that - i can guess that it might be for a backward compatibility. Anyway, to make that work we will start by creating a custom attribute.
jQuery.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add("brequired", function (options) { //b-required for checkboxes if (options.element.tagName.toUpperCase() == "INPUT" && options.element.type.toUpperCase() == "CHECKBOX") { //setValidationValues(options, "required", true); options.rules["required"] = true; if (options.message) { options.messages["required"] = options.message; } } });All that is left is to mark properties with newly created BooleanRequired attribute.
[BooleanRequired] public bool AcceptTermsAndCond { get; set' }Happy coding!

Riktig god tur! Gleder meg til å se bilder fra reisen!!!!
The geese and I share an inextinguishable, almost compulsory need to cover great distances, never settling down completely, commuting between opposite corners of the world.
These days they're flying southwards. In 36 hours, I'll be heading eastwards, leaving for THE train journey. See you.
