From the demise of buggy whips when the automobile was invented to the dramatic downsizing of newspapers when information was available for free online, businesses undergo dramatic change.
So it is absurd to think our legal businesses are immune to change.
The reality is that the delivery of legal services in the 21st century is already undergoing dramatic change. The challenge is to pay attention, make adjustments to thrive (or do nothing and wither), and tap into expertise at The Florida Bar to make the transformation easier.
Big changes impact you, whether you practice in small, medium, or large firms.
Clients may no longer want to pay a premium to sit across a desk from their lawyer for expensive face time to solve their legal problems. Just as clients can go online and compare costs for the best rate on car insurance, why not for legal services? Law firms used to make a lot of money reviewing documents, and now we see outsourcing of this work to overseas lawyers or to "virtual" law firms.
International lawyers come to Washington, D.C., to work on a transaction while sitting in a hotel room, posing questions about how they should be regulated in this country.
Instead of using one law firm, clients have created "virtual law firms" composed of lawyers from different firms in multiple locations to handle complex cases. My firm, Carlton Fields, was involved in multi-district litigation, in which the client pulled together lawyers from different firms across the country to handle the cases.
The globalization of the practice of law is a reality. We now see lawyers from not only other states but also other countries involved in matters in Florida. Florida currently is one of the only states that does not give reciprocity to members of other state bars. As globalization continues, the pressure to provide some form of reciprocity will continue to increase.
The huge law firm Jones Day began with two lawyers in Cleveland in 1893 and now boasts it is "one firm worldwide," with 2,400 lawyers, including more than 400 in Europe and 200 in Asia.
Changes are dramatic because information technology allows lawyers to conduct business in ways we never imagined just 30 years ago: worldwide and 24/7. Indeed, when I started practicing law, I had no smartphone, email, computer, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, or the ability to Google on the Internet.
Look at The Florida Bar's latest Economics and Law Office Management Survey, and we see that 44 percent of respondents said their practices have experienced a decrease in business and profitability over the last two years. Thirty-one percent of respondents adjusted their billing rates last year due to the economic climate, with 18 percent instituting a nonlawyer staff hiring freeze, 16 percent eliminating lawyer bonuses, and 14 percent reporting they did not hire any additional lawyers last year.
Hardest hit are new lawyers looking for entry-level jobs in firms. The bleak job market for new lawyers has contributed to a plunge in applications to law schools.
It's easy to blame big changes to our profession on the Great Recession of 2007. But even with an improving economy, the old system is not going to return to the way it was before.
When the Bar's Board of Governors Strategic Planning Committee held a workshop to discuss the future of the practice of law, it was noted by the year 2020, we will have at least 115,000 attorneys, increasing market saturation and competition for clients.
The committee discussed that savvy lawyers need to make adjustments to the new way of doing business. Alternate fee arrangements will increase, driven by client demands for more for less. There will be a greater demand for specialization and multi-disciplinary capabilities. Successful practitioners will seize the power of the latest technology. And attorneys will face a lot more competition from nonlegal groups.
Here's a fact that made me say, "Wow!"
In California in 2011, 20 percent of new LLCs were generated using online forms from LegalZoom, rather than using the services of lawyers.
That eye-opening nugget was shared by University of Florida Levin College of Law Dean Bob Jerry, who read it in a scholarly paper titled "A Glass Half Full Look at the Changes in the American Legal Market," written by Benjamin H. Barton, a professor at the University of Tennessee College of Law.
"That has profound implications for small- and medium-sized law firms and young lawyers," Dean Jerry said. "If that is what the public is doing, that is what we need to understand. It doesn't mean lawyers' jobs will disappear. But conventional lawyering will evolve into new 21st century lawyering."
Just as many people would rather pay $34.99 to go online and use do-it- yourself forms on TurboTax instead of hiring an accountant at three times the cost to do their income taxes, so too are clients looking for efficient, cost-saving ways to receive legal services.
Dean Jerry spends a lot of time thinking about the rapidly changing legal profession, so he can better prepare his law students for their evolving careers in a market where law firms are hiring fewer new lawyers.
Beyond the launch of e-discovery, he knows that future lawyers are going to need to figure out how to use technology to "bridge a mismatch between legal needs and the costs of services today." He knows that clients are interested not just in dispute resolution, but dispute avoidance, and many clients know how to go online to seek answers to their questions.
His students, he says, are not afraid of technology. But the real question, he said, is this: Who is going to come up with the ideas for how technology is used to make the delivery of legal services more efficient?
He's bringing "legal futurist" Richard Susskind from Great Britain — author of The End of Lawyers? Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services and his latest book, Tomorrow's Lawyers — to Gainesville on September 12, as the featured speaker for the Marshall M. Criser Distinguished Lecture.
Susskind opened one lecture with a picture of a Black and Decker drill and a picture of a hole in the wall. He argues the hole in the wall is what the client wants, and whatever tool it takes to the job done doesn't really matter to the client.
The commodity for lawyers is our knowledge and experience, and, as Susskind preaches, because clients want more for less, law firms must find less costly ways to deliver their knowledge and expertise.
When Susskind talks about new business models for delivering legal services to give more for less, he describes an "efficiency strategy" of cutting costs, multi-sourcing, and commoditization; or a "collaboration strategy" where clients share costs by using technology.
Imagine the general counsel of Fortune 500 companies sharing the cost of legal tasks for similar problems by harnessing the power of technology. And lawyers, rather than starting from scratch to hand-craft legal work for each client can package their law firm's knowledge and license it for clients to use. Licensing knowledge, Susskind says, "makes money while you sleep," and it's quicker, easier, and cheaper for clients.
I heard a speech at a Bar Board of Governors meeting two years ago, when Thomas Morgan, a law professor from George Washington University, told us there would be fewer jobs for lawyers, and the practice of law is destined to become more commoditized and competitive. The lawyers who succeed, he told us, will combine "Wal-Mart efficiency with a Neiman Marcus feel."
I recently purchased Mitchell Kowalski's book: Avoiding Extinction: Reimaging Legal Services for the 21 Century, in which a big law firm with stressed-out lawyers and unhappy clients redefines itself with a new business model that still turns a profit, makes lawyers' jobs more manageable, and serves clients better.
Gary Sasso, my friend and managing partner of my law firm, Carlton Fields, also thinks a lot about the forces changing the foundation of our profession. But Sasso says he welcomes change.
"We embrace change around here and see it as opportunity," Sasso says.
He points out that the kinds of changes Susskind talks about are at the margins of the work that law firms are called upon to do. Some tasks may be performed better by accountants and computers. But Sasso says "the core of what we do depends on judgment and legal expertise, which will remain in demand."
"Our economy and freedoms are built upon the rule of law," he says. "We can't relegate to other professionals, let alone to computers, the work of shaping, interpreting, and applying the rules to all or even many of the complex activities and relationships in a society like ours. We need judges and lawyers to do that."
While we hone our core expertise, we do need to prepare for the changes in how legal services are delivered. At The Florida Bar, the conversation on how to help lawyers during times of great change is ongoing.
We are looking forward to reviewing the American Bar Association's report on the future of the practice of law, which is expected to be released in August.
As I come to the end of my term as president, President-elect Eugene Pettis, President-elect Designate Greg Coleman, and I are in agreement that we should establish a commission to review and make recommendations as to how The Florida Bar should move forward to address these issues.
Because, as my managing partner likes to say: "Resisting change is rarely a successful strategy."

The stakes seem to get higher for each wave of young quarterbacks that enter the league. Right now, it isn't enough to be the future, you have to be the present, too.
But the most recent class of young guns has seemed ready for most everything that's been thrown at them, taking the league by storm the past couple of seasons, and Ryan Tannehill is certainly a part of that mix.
NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal ranked the league's ten best quarterbacks 25 or under list — a much tougher task than it was a few years ago, probably — and the second-year quarterback made the cut.
His impressive arm strength and mobility may be what jumps off the tape at first, Rosenthal said, but watch some more and you'll some real nuance to his game.
"It's the little things about Tannehill that impress," Rosenthal writes. "He's not afraid to throw the ball into windows. (Pass interference often was his best play.) He changes plays at the line of scrimmage like a veteran. He usually makes quick decisions. Those traits got obscured for a variety of reasons last season, but Dolphins fans have every right to be thrilled about their quarterback selection. General manager Jeff Ireland got this one right."
In the context of a typical rookie season, Tannehill's first year in Miami was definitely a success. After all, he started all 16 games and broke Dan Marino's franchise record for passing yards by a rookie quarterback (3,294 yards). But it wasn't a typical season — Tannehill entered with a spectacular class of rookie quarterback, three of whom made the playoffs right away (Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III). He may have not received the same attention this past year, but Rosenthal thinks Tannehill's ceiling could be just as high.
"It wouldn't shock me if Tannehill wound up eventually passing one or two of the big-name young quarterbacks in front of him," Rosenthal writes. "I don't see any big reason why Tannehill can't evolve into a top-five NFL quarterback."

Frost & Sullivan's 'Global Trends in Medical Imaging-Cardiology Applications' report is out
Singapore: A new study from Frost & Sullivan titled 'Global Trends in Medical Imaging-Cardiology Applications', has pointed out that there has been a shift in the adoption pattern for imaging modalities. With the markets in North America and Europe mostly saturated, the largest revenue share is now generated by emerging economies like China, India, Russia and Brazil.
The research covers four diagnostic modalities for cardiac applications, including cardiac computed tomography (CT), cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), echocardiography and interventional cardiology. Demographics are playing a key role in the market. An aging population has been the foremost driver in the healthcare market. The rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases is expanding the patient pool, while resulting in escalating demand for equipment and software that enable better diagnoses. However, the lack of consensus on which imaging modality is most appropriate for a particular cardiac ailment has affected uptake levels.
Frost & Sullivan senior research analyst Ms Akanksha Joshi, said that, "All the modalities are here to stay. What is less clear is which of these modalities is most appropriate for which patients and in which clinical scenarios in terms of diagnostic accuracy and, even more importantly, in terms of patient outcome and cost-effectiveness."
During product development and marketing, therefore, manufacturers need to consider the fact that the choice of modality used is based on the preference of the cardiologist or radiologist. Moreover, they need to account for preference patterns for a particular modality showing regional variations.
The adoption of advanced modalities is slower in the cardiology space, compared to other segments. This is partly due to the lack of skilled healthcare professionals who can effectively use the new devices. "It is therefore critical for manufacturers to provide innovative, accurate, reliable and patient-friendly equipment," advised Ms Joshi. "Such endeavours will assuage the apprehensions of the medical community in using new technology."

It also doesn't help that it's doing less sales than LOTR:ROTK. But a flop? No.

Here the emphasis on light and dark echoes Vallotton's prints, which are dominated by bold black and white block motifs. Although the artist stopped producing prints in 1899 in order to concentrate on his painting, his work retained the same stark, often caustic, graphic style. Here the silhouetted figure of the artist dominates the centre of the canvas, flanked on his right by his new bride Gabrielle wearing a pink gown. On Vallotton's left sits his stepson Max Rodrigues, stifling a yawn. Above the artist's head is Madeleine, his stepdaughter, who stares out at her stepfather and, by extension, the viewer.
Dubbed Intimists, the Nabis drew their inspiration from Parisian life, including its domestic and private interiors. Vuillard asked, 'Why is it always in the familiar places that the mind and the sensibility find the greatest degree of genuine novelty?'1 While, as a member of the diverse Nabis group, Vallotton embraced such subject matter, he held firm to his own precise visual style, rejecting his colleagues' predilection for pattern and texture. His interior works are often devoid of the warmth of familiar associations common to other Nabis interiors. In many of Vallotton's later portraits the interior becomes so significant that it is no longer a mere setting. Yet here, with the emphasis on the surroundings, it is easy to see how a group portrait could be mistaken for a genre scene.
Vallotton creates a mood of unspoken hostility through the use of silhouettes and striking shadows.The air of stillness enshrouds the typical Nabis subject—a family gathered round a table—with a sense of foreboding. Typically Vallotton's domestic scenes contain harsh light and sharply focused detail, which he borrowed from classical Northern European genre painting.
Vallotton's interiors have a motionless quality. Although the figure on the left is yawning, he seems frozen in the act.The rest of the family appears similarly lifeless. This melancholic stillness may express the artist's attitude towards his new family. Set in the dining room of Vallotton's house on Rue Beau-Séjour in Paris, it was painted just after his marriage to an art dealer's daughter. Vallotton hoped that the alliance would advance his career, but he found that married life did not suit him as well as he had supposed. A reserved person, he found the constant interaction with his wife and two stepchildren time-consuming and exhausting.
This is the first of two versions which Vallotton created of this scene.2 Although this painting has slightly more muted tones, both versions have identical detail and a similar colour palette. They belong to a series of paintings conceived as modern renditions of the interiors of seventeenth-century Dutch master Pieter de Hooch.

You will have to check with Kush to make sure but if memory serves me, it was the 18 y.o. McCallan.
RE:In praise of the
Damn! Will someone please tell Juro the name of the scotch in the flask on the Sky? If it was one of the best he tasted, I want some.
RE:In praise of the
Eric -
I suspect I've subconsciously cloned a chum salmon equal rights plea from the memory of the many you've articulated in the past... hopefully I didn't use the same title as one of your posts but thinking back it does have a familiar ring to it! dOh! Oh well, I find it harder to keep track each year - blame it on shades of early of alzheimers.
You've encountered chum in Alaska as well as the mainland... I've heard that chum vary radically in average size from region to region - do you find this to be true?
RE:In praise of the Chum and Single Malts
Good grief. This is becoming a board of clones.
How 'bout assigning Chums a more fitting elixir and leave the single malts for steelhead, coho and Atlantics? I propose the true potable for chums be Rum! Dark, strong, with 150 proof authority. Very analogous to our beloved canine-studded aggressor of the rain-swollen freshets.
I started fishing for chums down here in Tillamook about 20 years ago, when the word was (promulgated by the self-serving interests of commercial fishermen, no doubt) that they wouldn't bite in fresh water. One day, while trying for early steelhead, I hooked about twenty of the things, one right after the other, and had an absolute ball doing so. These fish, given the fact they didn't bite, seemed remarkably adept at getting themselves snagged in the snoot and certainly caused a commotion when they did. I remember cursing the sun as it set because it marked the end of one of the most enjoyable fishing days I have ever had.
There are a couple of little rivers here with chum runs and it's always fun to poke along these streams when the fish are in and survey anglers for broken rods. This seems a hallmark of the chum--I don't know how many broken rods I come across (broke a 10 wt Sage of mine twice on these things), but there have been plenty.
In regards bright and the fish's table qualities: in Tillamook, when they come in on the tide, they are still bright. Females particularly are silver, but fade very quickly. I've caught bright males, but never with good numbers of scales still attached. The brightest males I catch typically have that black line and side bars already showing, but I think these are better table fish that the brighter females, which seem to go mushy in a hurry.
Several of my friends find chums great for steaking and barbecuing. I like to smoke them, because the have so little fat and keep forever. Friends I send smoked chum to seem to like it, although I stopped killing them years ago when our streams went to catch and release.
so join me shipmates, we'll break into the barrel, and hoist a toast of Nelson's Blood to the piratical Chum
RE:In praise of the
Have to chime in on the Speyburn...
The name got my attention, the price sent me to the counter with a bottle, and the all around drinkability will have me coming back for another. The best $20 I ever spent. It's not Sheep Dip, but for the money, it doesn't have to be.
Unlike Juro, I do love the 40 year Laphroaig. Juro, bars quite typically water it down and I have to agree that the taste really suffers as a result. If you haven't tried it straight out of the bottle, you might want to give it a second chance.
BTW, chum salmon sound like the freshwater equivalent to Hickory shad. You won't win prestige for catching them, but they sure are a heck of a lot of fun to chase.
RE:In praise of the
You have just given me some great single malt leads. I've got a vendor funded dinner coming up in a couple of weeks and I will have to "sample" some of the malts you listed. I'm a relative novice on single malts as I've only been sampling for a couple of years and then infrequently. So far my favorites would be the Ledaig 20, Lagavulin and the McCallan 18. I'm not a big fan of the McCallan 12 however. My tastes run to the highland malts and speysides. Some others that I have found pleasurable have been the Oban, Craganmore, Highland Park and Glen Kynchie. I will have to try out the Doublewood Balvenie as it sounds wonderful.
I picked up on the Dewars comment and agree that Chum probably don't warrant a good scotch. With that in mind, I picked up a bottle of Speyburn for next weeks dog fest. Its a very servicable single malt that doesn't break the bank.

Can't agree more about the single malts. I jested with "Dewars" on the above post because like the chum it's not Double Wood Balvenie or an aged Macallan or <your favorite here>... but is still scotch. Tried to make an analogy between the two, might have been a stretch. To tell the truth, I don't even drink Dewars! I am fond of the Highland malts and some of the Islay's but am not a Laphroaig man. I am far from being a single malt expert but have sampled quite a few.
Pete L. from Calgary got me hooked on the Double Wood Balvenie, and my brother treated me to a fifth of the sherrywood (or was it portwood)Glenmorangie last year, both good to the last drop. I still like the caramelly Glenlivet but the GlenFidditch is a bit peppery for my tastes. I like Oban, Macallan, Glenmorangie, and have enjoyed a whole bunch more I can't pronounce when I was traveling a lot on business with an expense account
Bunnahabbin is my favorite Islay malt, not too peaty.
That round off the flask on the Skykomish during the last spring native clave was among the best I've tasted (and felt) in all my scotch sipping adventures.
What was that, by the way?
RE:In praise of the
I could not agree more. I gladly spend most of my year chasing steelhead with the reward found in the chase more often than the capture. I do not complain because just the chance to cast a long line on a brisk morning with the off chance of a steelhead hookup is one of lifes greatest pleasures. Throw in scenic vistas and good friends and it leaves no room for complaints. There is never the expectation of landing fish though. If you cast a flyrod for steelhead expecting to catch fish, you will not long stick with the sport.
One or twice a year though it is nice to go out and expect to get your butt kicked by a big fish. For this reason, every fall I start looking forward to the arrival of the chums. I have had large Skykomish bucks take me deep into my backing as they left Thunderbird without even slowing before breaking me off 100 yds downriver. I have also been towed around Hood Canal in my tube by a hot fish determined to avoid capture. I love them. Yes they are ugly and most not worth even a trip to the smoker, but damn can they fight. And I can't think of anything as fun as stalking and sight casting from the float tube to roving pods whose large dorsals betray their location. As I type this I can feel the sore right arm from leaning into 20 or more hookups yesterday.
This morning I dropped by the local liquor store to pick up a fifth of single malt for the coming week's four day trip to the canal. When the rains fall, the wind blows and the chop starts to bounce your tube around, a nip or two off the flask has amazing medicinal qualities. All that and it is bladder friendly because after all, it can be a long kick to the beach and the porta-let
Off to walk the "dog" ---
In praise of the "lowly" chum
Duggan's post reminds me of my love affair with the Rodney Dangerfield of the oncho clan... the "lowly" chum. Put side by side with the sleek lines of a summer steelhead, or the ghostly chrome clad shouldery bulk of a winter native steelie - they are grotesque. Seen finning next to a mint-bright late run coho in the Satsop, they are coarse. When compared to a king in it's purple hued leopard spotted ocean prime, it's a boot. Heck people don't even smoke them!
Nonetheless, I love chum. I do because I grew up doing nothing during my 'tween season doldrums. They take flies readily when aggresive or undisturbed and are great sport on a fly rod. Let's put it this way, if there were only chum in some other part of the world, no steelies, no kings, sockeye or coho, no atlantics, no seatrout... then the under-appreciated chum would be all the rage. There would be a 'chum' economy and chum flies, chum saloons and a chum days festival. The sportsman who caught the only bright one of the year would win a new 11 weight ugly stick for his trouble, and runner-up prizes would go to anyone who caught one with it's tail intact. The Miss Chum beauty pageant would be won by a girl with crooked buckteeth and chronic acne. The chum eating contest would be won by the sled-dog that ate the most chum while their owners competed with blackberry pies as edible substitutes.
I jest! This time of year the chum are still strong, clean and spectacular sport. They will move for a fly and fight like the dickens. Yes it's true that my deepest passion lies for steelhead; the stately lines of a massive striped bass; the bullet taper of a bonefish, or the crazed leaps of an ocean caught coho. The Ponoi calls to me to experience the untamed atlantic salmon fishing, as does the Gaspe, etc. But just as bluegills and largemouth bass were the mainstay of my fishing education, the chum salmon has kept me sated for many days when there are few hours of fishing to be had. Call me naive, but when I was a young parent I'd take a few hours on the river away from changing diapers, land 9 or 10 hot dawgs on the fly rod, and be back with an espresso drink for my wife before breakfast was started. Who lives like that?
Wife's taking the kids to a movie? What the heck, down to the river for a few more epic battles with a not-so-epic fish, at least as far as reputation goes. But this bad reputation never tainted my appreciation for chums. Call me easy, but a spankin' is a spankin'.
Tis' the season. I hereby raise my glass of Dewars to the "lowly" chum!

Craft WARM Socks - $29.95
Craft Warm Bike Socks are quite simply the best cool weather cycling socks you can find. They keep your feet not only warm, but temperature regulated so that they won't cause your feet to overheat. In addition, they're as thin as or thinner than most tri-seasonal socks you'll find. The thinness means that there won't be added bulk to cramp your toes or limit your circulation and make your feet cold. Made with a felted wool sole, the Warm Bike Socks feel luxuriously soft and cushioned when you step into them. The material works to keep your feet warm, but is also a natural ventilator which helps circulate moisture away from your skin. The sock uppers are comprised of a channel stitched ultra thin material. This takes away any bulk that sometimes can bundle up underneath your shoe buckles. The channeled nature of the fabric also makes it possible for the warm air to move around the foot keeping the entire foot warm without encouraging any moist heat to build up.The Craft Warm Bike Socks will become a staple of your cycling as well as your everyday wardrobe. The work just as well in your dress brogues and Chelsea boots as they do in your Sidis. They're available in Black and Grey and come in sizes Small through X-Large. - $29.95

AKC senior hunt test water series. The setup was one mark on the right thrown right to left on the opposite bank. The go bird was left of the line on the near bank to be tossed into the water. The blind was in between the marks almost directly across from the line.
Because the blind was between the marks, it was to be run first. The hunt test committee had to approve all setups and they disapproved this one because of the location of the blind (between marks).
I thought this was ok because the blind was to be run first.

There is something profoundly wrong with our system. The unchecked accumulation of wealth and power into the hands of a very small group of corporate business interests has contributed to the wholesale corruption of our political system.
The main objective of this website is to expose the nefarious forces colluding to undermine our democracy and the rule of law, and most importantly, encourage people to take an active role in not only resisting the imposition of oppression and exploitation, but in restoring true democracy, the rule of law, and clean government. Let's join forces in this endeavor!

Ply Gem investing in Virginia plantComments Email Print
CARY, N.C. (Oct. 9, 12:45 p.m. ET) — In a sign that the North American housing market is starting to recover from the Great Recession, Ply Gem Industries Inc. is adding jobs and investing in manufacturing improvements at its Rocky Mount, Va., profile extrusion plant.
The plant, part of Cary-based Ply Gem's window and door products business, will add 200 jobs by the end of 2014, bringing the total there to 1,100.
Manufacturing improvements will include new extrusion tooling, equipment, products and information technology, said Lynn Morstad, president of Ply Gem Windows.
The investment will support growth from the recovering housing market, Morstad said.
The Rocky Mount plant opened in 1939 and was acquired by Ply Gem in 2004. In 2009, as the North American construction market took a nosedive, Ply Gem moved all of its window extrusion operations to Rocky Mount.
The company will receive grants from the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission, Franklin County and the Town of Rocky Mount. The company also is receiving assistance from the Virginia Jobs Investment Program through the Virginia Department of Business Assistance.

The ultimate in underrated couples: I did not know they were dating. This is made infinitely more embarrassing by the fact that they've been dating since 1997. That's...too much math, but it's also a long time. And yet they just look like a couple of kids in love. Especially in these pics! Awwwwww. Sure I'm late on the bandwagon, but I'm here to stay.

Some of you may be thinking, "After the jizzapalooza that was Magic Mike, how could you possibly call them underrated?" To those people I say this. For a couple with this level of hotness, dance skill, and a meeting story that happened to also give birth to one of the cornerstones of my adolescence, anything short of pure and utter idolatry just won't suffice. Am I the only one on a daily Step Up viewing policy until 10 Years comes out?

Dating for six years, thinking of starting a family, and looking foyne all the while. The only recent news about either of these two is that one half of the world's least underrated ex-couple Katie Holmes (Was that confusing?) said Josh was her first love and is maybe thinking about calling him. If that's not underrated I don't know what is.
Plus I love this quote from Mr. Jackson:
"Our first date was a miserable one. I took her to an Italian restaurant, and there was some flower that was blooming. She was allergic to it so she sniffled and sneezed the entire time. And when I get nervous, you might have noticed I talk a lot. So I just chewed her ear off for an hour and a half. It was amazing. I'm surprised she ever called back."

Two days ago, Kelly and Mark solidified their spot on the list of most awesome celebrity couples ever with this performance on Watch What Happens Live. If you haven't seen it yet, stop what you're doing and watch it. NOW.

I'll have to turn it over to the great Jenni Maier for this one, who wrote, "But seeing all these lovey-dovey normal couple photos of Jon and Zach (as they're known now on my dream board), definitely made me rethink my favorite couple thoughts. Sure these photos border on absolute psycho stalker camera zoom levels, but they give us insight into this couple that we've never really had before."
Check out the pics; she ain't lying.

After two years of marriage Emily apparently still feels all butterfly-y like a newlywed, as she called her marriage "an effing blast" recently. Well DUH, just think of all the pranks they pull! And yet, I haven't seen any hilarious homemade YouTube vids or even a hilarious psycho stalker paparazzi pic of them doing something goofy yet charming, have you? Totally underrated.

They're both hilarious (not that Borat is exactly my thang, but still) and Isla occasionally gets mistaken for his child – what more could you want in a celebrity couple?

These two make you really believe all those I'm-just-a-nice-guy-who's-so-in-love-with-this-one-girl-that-I-write-songs-about-it-and-then-love-her-forever-and-ever lyrics, and that's not only a feat but a civil service. Thanks guys, stay country.

Have you seen For A Good Time, Call... yet? Then you're underrating this couple. Get with the program. Here, take it from me.

When you Google "Jennifer Lawrence and"... Google is pretty sure the next two words you're going to type are "Josh" and "Hutcherson." What gives people? Does nobody care about our girl JLaw's actual love life? I'm all about both celebrity PDA and couples where the girl is infinitely more successful and beloved than the guy, so this works for me. Let's all start caring.

I've jerked off to Leah Remini more than I've jerked off to any celebwhore in Hollywood. I guess it must be because I have a thing for red-headed milfs. Now I am more excited to jack off to images of Leah Remini's sweet pussy on my cock because here are some leaked Leah Remini fuck pics.
This cougar is fucking wild! What I like about these pics is that this is exactly what it looks like when I fantasize about her. Leah Remini ass fucked is enough to make my dick hard as a rock. Just look at her lying on her tummy, totally naked while taking a fat cock in her asshole. That is a sight I want to see in my dreams tonight. Check out more of Leah Remini anal sex pics over in this site!

Mallette posted a video of his performance on Youtube and others videos of her son's cover songs. Former marketing executive Scooter Braun came across Justin's videos by accident and tracked him down.

Planning for retirement
For many people their retirement plans have been devastated by various falls in stock markets, low annuity rates and the lack of growth in the buy-to-let marketplace. How will the removal of the requirement to buy an annuity affect you? Many may question what chance there is of a 'comfortable retirement'?

Over the past day I've been reading up on RSS and RDF, two fascinating technologies. O'Reilly has really been pushing this technology, for various reasons, and has many good articles and links.
Following reading all of this, I've downloaded XML::Parser to toy with it and see if I can start creating a small RSS aggregator such as Meerkat. My first RSS file will allow me to test all sorts of fun stuff, and see if I can even get my local ACM chapter to centralize our SIGS news.

Focus Areas
UNDP works with countries to understand and respond to the development dimensions of HIV and health, complementing the health sector work of other UN partners. Our approach recognizes that development action outside the health sector – in social protection, gender, governance, human rights, capacity development and related fields – can often contribute significantly to better health outcomes, especially for the poor.
As the largest development agency, UNDP provides strategic support to countries to address the social and economic factors that drive the HIV epidemic, as well to mitigate the impact of AIDS. UNDP is a founding cosponsor of UNAIDS, the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS, which brings together the efforts and resources of 11 UN organizations to help the world respond to HIV more effectively. UNDP has an important partnership with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, helping countries to strengthen their capacity to make effective use of Global Fund financing, and enabling millions of people to benefit from programmes to prevent and treat HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.
UNDP also contributes to public health and development through partnerships with Roll Back Malaria, the Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, and Stop TB.
HIV Mainstreaming, Gender and MDGs
National HIV responses have proven to be most successful when they have moved beyond addressing HIV as only a health concern, and involved a wider range of sectors and stakeholders. UNDP helps countries to mainstream attention to HIV and health into action on gender equality, poverty reduction and the broader efforts to achieve and sustain the Millennium Development Goals. This includes working with countries to understand the social and economic factors that play a crucial role in impacting health, and promoting specific action on the needs and rights of women and girls as they relate to HIV. more
HIV, Human Rights and Governance
Protecting the rights of people living with and affected by HIV is essential for halting the spread of the epidemic. UNDP promotes attention to the role of legal environments in facilitating stronger HIV responses, and works to empower and include people living with HIV and marginalized populations who are disproportionately affected by HIV – such as sex workers, men who have sex with men and transgender people – in national and local HIV responses. UNDP supports national and local AIDS authorities to strengthen governance and coordination of HIV responses, and supports the use of flexibilities in intellectual property and human rights law to lower the cost of AIDS treatment and diagnostics. more
UNDP-Global Fund Partnership: HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria
UNDP has partnered with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria since 2003 to support implementation of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria programmes in low and middle income countries, facilitating access to essential resources by countries that face constraints in directly receiving or managing such funding. UNDP's partnership with the Global Fund supports countries in crisis or post-crisis situations, those with weak institutional capacity or governance challenges, and countries under sanctions. When requested, UNDP acts as interim principal recipient in these settings, working with national partners and the Global Fund to improve management, implementation and oversight of Global Fund grants, while simultaneously developing national capacity for governments or local entities to be able to assume the principal recipient role over time. UNDP also works with the Global Fund on policies relating to human rights, gender equality and sexual diversity. The partnership has enabled millions of people around the world to benefit from programmes to prevent and treat HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.more

text: Hello there! Elucia here with my first anime review. I chose to do this one because it's the one I've most recently finished, but anyway.... Story: Centers around Ito Keita, an average boy who was unexpectedly excepted into a school for only the elite. The school is called Bell Liberty Academy or 'BL' Academy for short(I kid you not). Throughout the series, Keita's inner struggle is believing in himself, he often doubts that he is qualified to go to such a school. The story as a whole is average, often predictable, and sometimes slow. However, it is a cute series, and the characters... See full review

This traditional beans-and-pasta dish is on the table in only 20 minutes. Now that's quick!
Minestrone means "big soup" in Italian. This thick, hearty vegetable soup is at the other end of the soup spectrum from Italy's minestrina-- or "little soup"--that has a thin broth and smaller pieces of vegetables.
Use whole wheat pasta shells for heartier pasta with extra fiber and protein.
Want a little more crunch? Add a stalk of celery to the mix. Remove ribs and slice celery into thin pieces. It goes great with the carrots and bell pepper.
Double this quick and easy recipe and you'll have enough to pack away for lunch tomorrow.

We've talked about Matthews vs Robinson, and I get your reasoning. I don't agree with the conclusion, but that's a different thing.
I have a tougher time with Martin over Lewan. Lewan is as refined as you'd like, and he has the much higher upside. As I've said, Lewan reminds me a lot of Joe Staley. Martin's versatility would be a welcome addition to a line littered with holes, but I wouldn't pass up a high-end LT for him.
I'd be happy with Trai Turner in the 4th. You've noted the risk, and it's legit, but he has All Pro upside, and he has some good tape - especially in the running game. Great scheme fit, too.

| Lindsay, Paris and Britney, take notes. When a nude photo scandal caused Vanessa Williams to give up her Miss America crown, many speculated that her career was over. Instead, she has gone on to sell six million records, star in major feature films and play an Emmy-nominated role in "Ugly Betty." And she doesn't need a crown to prove that she's fabulous. "I don't wake up every morning trying to be beautiful," Williams has said. "I'm older and wiser, so I realize that I'm enough. Ultimately, I'm in charge of my happiness." The first African-American Miss America, she forfeited her title because of a nude photo scandal. "It wasn't like my vocal cords were cut," she has said. "It was a setback, not a defeat."

One Book, One College encourages students, faculty, staff and community
members to read the same book and participate in discussions and events
related to the work. For 2013/14 we've selected The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Skloot first heard of Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells during a biology class at her local community college. The mystery surrounding Lacks and her cells intrigued Skloot and led her on a multiyear journey of research and discovery. What began with her instructor's encouragement to do extra credit and find out more on Lacks led to the in-depth research and journalism presented in this New York Times #1 bestselling book. According to Skloot, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks tells a riveting story of the collision between ethics, race, and medicine; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of a daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew. It's a story inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we're made of."
In Fall of 2013, Foothill College students produced art works based on research and conversations surrounding "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot, Foothill College's book selection for its 2013/2014 "One Book, One College, One Community" program. Under the direction of faculty Kent Manske, students in ART 73/GID 73: Paper Arts produced "Pulp Cells made from Recycled Paper". Students in ART 40/GID 38: Print Arts produced a "Portfolio of Screen Prints". These works are on exhibit at Foothill College's new Physical Science Building 4400 from November 12 - December 12th.

We will tell you if a fish needs a larger group, whether there needs to be a certain ratio of males:females, what is the minimum tank size for a particular fish, etc. - all because we like to see people be successful in their fishkeeping - and learn before asking fish store employees for help.
Listen to what people here are telling you... it is all excellent advice from really good people who know what they are talking about, hands down.
Dwarf cichlids are just too darn territorial to be kept in small tanks. I made the mistake of trying to keep them in a heavily planted 20 and even that was a disater...
If you can't re-home them then at least try returning one for store credit and get some water conditioner or fish food.
Fishn00b, beyond the hostility here, please let me weigh in...
First things first, Cichlids are a large group of fish (as I am sure you know). Its hard to pinpoint advice knowing its just a dwarf cichlid, but that aside. The dwarf varieties are particularly succeptable to fluctuation in PH, Temp, Ammonia and all the other things it breaks down into. A 10 gallon tank can massivly change in a short period of time and it is very difficult to hold stable parameters. That is a specific reason why it doesnt matter if the fish is 5 milimeters or 5 inches, it comes with its own set of risks and rational to its tank requirements. Also without the propper space an issue known as stunting occurs.
In a 10 gallon tank, a cichlid no matter the species, cannot claim a propper territory and unless you bought an already mated pair (which wasnt stated and the behavior sounds like you dont have one). Cichlid meaning toothy fish means they have a bite and when one claims a propper territory in 3-4 weeks and starts defending it, there is not an addequite swimming space that puts your schools out of harms way let alone the other of its kind that again isnt 100% going to be its predetermined mate.
If they do pair, then the other fish in this small tank with be at risk as cichilids defend their brood with a passion... so that is another issue you have to face long term.
On the schools, propper stocking methods aside, the footprint of a 10gallon tank doesnt allow for propper schooling to take place. Especially with the multiple species in the tank. If they were live bearers such as a guppy I would have a much different opinion as far as that fishes personal space go.
Please take the advice here and really think, is it because we say everything is underfiltered and overstocked? Or is it that the people with 40+ or 20+ or in my case 27 years of experience have been there, done that and through science and previous experience know better?
Also... not to be catty here... but you chose to name yourself Fishn00b and are criticizing advice that people with much more experience are giving you... That you asked for... meaning you didnt know... I think the insults are misplaced and a result of being defensive yourself. Mommy wasnt sarcastic in her reply, she was honest. The tank is improperly stocked and is being tended by someone who doesnt know what fish they are putting in the tank. Its a correctable issue, but only if you want to own up and really work on it.
I find it humorous when people come on here (or just in general) and ask for advice and get offended when they don't like the answer they get. If you're already so convinced you're right, then why ask in the first place?
55g African Cichlid tank -
29g Community tank -
0Originally Posted by phatchuck
I wasn't offended at the response, I was more annoyed with the dismissive tone that it was delivered.
That being said, I've just come to the conclusion it's time to get a bigger tank. So I bought a 36g bow front today. I assume this will be more than enough space for them to claim there territory and such.
0Originally Posted by Sandz
This is what the male looks like, maybe you can identify what kind he is?
A 36g should be enough room for two dwarf cichlids and two schools of tetra. Nice buy. You will still need to watch the cichlids for aggression, just because it should be enough room doesn't mean the fish will agree. Sometimes one will want more room than usual, or just take a disliking to the other fish. That is a german blue ram.
Last edited by mommy1; 01-15-2013 at 03:40 AM.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
That fish is a German ram, mikrogeophagus ramirezi.just a heads up that it prefers higher temperatures than most tropical fish(26-30 degrees)
Agreed, the fish is a German Blue Ram. They are fish I would call tempermental. They are very picky on water chemestry. They need to be in a tank with temp 78-82 deg F. The new bowfront will be great for them but I would highly suggest plants and wood in the tank.
Do you know if they are wilds or tank bred?
Also please take the filter from the current tank and seed your media in the new tank. It should not require a major cycle if you do this and will be the safest thing for all involved. Keep the 10gal handy though just in case the pair have some lovers quarels.
Here is the fish profile http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/cich...manblueram.php
