CNN presents unfiltered right-wing spin about Sotomayor
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
CNN is running a package by reporter Jim Acosta that is full of baseless conservative spin about Sonia Sotomayor.
First, conservative Wendy Long is shown on-camera claiming that Sotomayor is "very much a liberal judicial activist." Long doesn't explain what that means, give any examples, or explain why it would be a bad thing. Nor is she asked to do so. Nor does anyone point out that, by one study, Clarence Thomas is the most "activist" member of the Supreme Court. Long is simply allowed to offer a baseless and empty talking point.
Then, Acosta presents "Exhibit A" in the Right's case against Sotomayor: a video clip of the judge saying the court of appeals is where policy is made. Acosta notes "Sotomayor's critics say that's judicial activism. In other words, legislating from the bench." Acosta does not, however, note that those same critics are in favor of judicial activism - as long as the judges in question are conservatives. More importantly, the clip - and the conservative arguments Acosta passes on - take Sotomayor's comment out of context. In reality, she was simply explaining the difference between district and appeals courts. But Acosta didn't include that explanation, much less make clear that it is the truth, and the conservative complaints are misleading.

A week ago I took my car to the dealer and had regular maintenance done on it. Oil Change/fluid changed/etc. I knew my brakes needed to be changed but the guy at the dealer said I should be fine until my next oil change. Well this morning when I cranked my car I noticed the ABS light was on as well as the light that says "ESC OFF" After I got off of work I took the car to Autozone and had them check the sensors. They said everything showed up fine. Also stated I still have at least 2 or 3 months left on my brake pads.
My question is, how do I get this light to go off? If I change my brakes will the light go off? And my brake fluid is full. They took care of that at the dealership and Autozone checked it as well.
My car is a 2007 Kia Sorento LX if that helps.
Thanks in advance for any help.

(((Welcome to Bleeding Star Clothing)))
We live lifes packed with pop culture, underground
lifestyles, and questions of exactly where the border is. We travel down a packed interstate full of windy turns, off-ramps for no reason, and horrific collisions.
No matter where you go there is always going to be someone trying to put out your flame, someone trying to tear you down. But as long as you keep shining, nothing else really matters.
Stand up for what you believe in, despite how much persecution you may have to go through. No matter what 'scene' you may belong to, or whatever type of music you enjoy listening to. Whether you spend your days dancing to the pulse of a DJ, or rockin it at a hardcore show, just be true to yourself.
Forget about what other people think. In a world ready to tear apart your every move, it may be hard to keep on trudging through, but really, what else is there we can do. Shine bright for yourself, hold strong for your beliefs, no matter how much you may 'bleed' along the way.

Ice didn't stop Lee's Summit Sunrise Rotary from delivering for One Good Meal, a service that provides meals to Lee's Summit shut-ins.
The Empty Bowls fundraiser Feb. 1 at Longview Mansion is expected to give the not-for-profit agency about $12,000 from ticket sales and other donations (the final tally isn't complete.)
Bob Paradise, chairman for this year's Empty Bowls, said the event traditionally sells between 300-350 tickets in advance (the number is limited because of space.) Each ticket holder can choose a ceramic bowl crafted by local artists.
The event was well-attended, even with icy conditions on roads from a storm the previous day. Attendees voted for best dessert, soup and bread from area restaurants that are there to give samples.
The winners for 2014 were:
• The Fig Tree Cafe & Bakery, best dessert
• Monetti's Taste of Italy, best bread
• Summit Grill and Bar, best soup
Paradise thanked the restaurants and artists who contributed to the event.
"There were a lot of good bowls this year, from good artists," Paradise said.
Dayton Runkle, board president for One Good Meal, said that with the contribution from the fundraiser and those that came in December, the agency is in better shape than early in the year.
"Empty Bowls has just been huge, it's just done so much for One Good Meal," Runkle said "We usually end up with a couple of bucks, and they'll vanish."
The difficulty is that during the year, giving typically drops off, so the agency has a deficit of about $130 a day, that's with having all volunteer drivers and administration. The agency can always use more drivers and cooks who contribute cookies, he said.
He said all three Rotary clubs have been helpful providing drivers and monetary contributions.
One Good Meal Executive Director Roberta McArthur said the agency's financial situation is slowly improving because of a focus on getting new corporate sponosors.
She said that a company that can raise about $1,020 can feed a client who can't afford to pay anything for one year. The agency provides meals at cost of $4 or less, on a sliding scale dependent on what clients can afford.
The city's three Rotary clubs have agreed and two businesses have agreed to sponsorships, McArthur said.
"I'm on my way," she said.
The small agency now has about 90 clients, about 30 of them need to be fully subsidized, she said.
"I'm so grateful for the way people showed up, all my board was there, and it was such a beautiful night, with the weather being as iffy as it was," McArthur said.

SENDAI – Companies are boosting investment in the three Tohoku region prefectures hit hardest by the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.
New factories have been set up by Toyota Motor Corp., Daio Paper Corp., aircraft interior and parts maker Jamco Corp. and Raraya Corp., a small firm that makes satchels for elementary school students.
"Job offers are certainly increasing," said an official at the business promotion division at the Fukushima Prefectural Government.
Businesses are playing a major role in economic revitalization in Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, but many of their new bases are in inland areas. In tsunami-devastated coastal areas, the number of new corporate footholds has been limited.
"It will take more time to encourage companies to settle in a way that helps increase the hiring of disaster-affected people markedly," said an official at the industrial and business promotion division of the Miyagi Prefectural Government.
Toyota established automobile-assembly firm Toyota Motor East Japan Inc. last July by merging three group firms in the Tohoku region.
Toyota regards the new firm in Ohira, Miyagi Prefecturee, as its third major domestic production base, after those in the Tokai region and Kyushu.
Last December, Toyota Motor East Japan started making engines for subcompacts at its new plant in Taiwa, Miyagi Prefecture. The move led six Toyota-affiliated auto parts makers to start operations in the prefecture.
The prefecture is becoming a hub for the automotive sector, the Miyagi official said.
Jamco has completed a factory for aircraft engine parts and other items in the Miyagi city of Natori. Construction of the facility was originally scheduled to begin in April 2011, but was delayed due to the March 11 disaster.
The factory is now slated to begin operating in April. Its workforce is seen reaching 80 within a year.
Iwaki Daio Paper Corp., a subsidiary of Daio Paper, plans to start operations at new cardboard plant in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, in October 2014. Investment in the plant will total ¥8.3 billion.
Raraya launched a satchel factory in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, last August. The company aims to increase the number of workers at the plant to 100 in three years from some 30 at present.
"We want to make our contribution to Fukushima's revival through our satchels," Raraya President Hiroko Ando said. The prefecture is home to Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, which experienced three reactor core meltdowns in the March 2011 disaster.
Outside the manufacturing sector, Hotland Corp., which runs the Tsukiji Gindako chain that sells "takoyaki" octopus dumplings, relocated its head office from Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture, to Ishinomaki in Miyagi in December 2011.
The move reflects the firm's hope to support the region's postdisaster reconstruction more strongly, officials said. Since the relocation, Hotland has hired more than 100 people at the new head office and opened 10 Tsukiji Gindako shops in and around Ishinomaki.
Amazon Japan K.K., a unit of U.S. online retail giant Amazon.com Inc., established a call center in Sendai in February 2012. NTT Data Corp. launched an administrative office in Ishinomaki in January 2012.
In Iwate, Tsuneishi Facilities & Craft Co. established shipbuilding subsidiary TFC Co. in July 2011. Watami Takushoku Co., a unit of bar-restaurant chain Watami Co., also set up a call center to take orders for boxed meals in February 2012 and hired some 70 people.
Retail giant Aeon Co. plans to launch a large shopping center in the prefecture.
By contrast, the situation remains severe in areas in Fukushima near the crippled Tepco nuclear plant as many factories there remain closed.
Among them are drugmaker SSP Co.'s plant in the town of Namie and toilet maker Toto Ltd.'s factories in the towns of Tomioka and Naraha. The two companies have been unable to decide whether to keep or scrap the plants, while waiting to see if there will be fresh public support or regulations for areas contaminated with radioactive substances from the nuclear disaster.

UTEP Postgame Quotes - vs. Stanford
March 25, 2008
Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Gallery (by Ivan Pierre Aguirre) | AP Gallery
Coach Keitha Adams
(On the season) I'm proud of our players, the seniors are a special group, we have two banners hanging in the Don Haskins Center, we've made history, and we don't have a bad loss. Every loss, and there are four now, are against tournament teams. I told our players that they're always going to be special to me, they'll be with me forever, it's a season I'm going to remember forever. The toughest thing is that the journey is coming to an end.
(On the game) We played some quality basketball for 15 minutes and gave Stanford a test in that first half, and then it slowly got away from us. They played a fantastic ballgame tonight. Probably the only thing that will make me feel better is if they go on to win the national championship, and I told their coach "go win it all". I'd at least like to be able to say that we got beat by the national (champions). I don't like getting beat like that, and it hasn't happened much this year. We came out and have not been scared all year of anything, they're fearless.
(On Stanford's national championship potential) If they play like they did tonight, absolutely.
(On Stanford's offense) They do a good job of reading the defense. We tried to adjust and I think as the game got longer they got better and they got hotter, and it just got tougher as the night grew. I always tell our kids if someone hits a shot and you have a hand in their face, you can sleep at night.
(On Izabela Piekarska) Words can't say enough about the impact that Iza has made, and all of our seniors. I've thought about this group a lot. They're all very special, on and off the court.
(On building for next year) We can definitely build off of it. You can't replace experience. I like our young players.
(On Jareica Hughes) When you've got a great point guard like Jareica, that's the building of something special because she's special. That's a big piece of the puzzle, so it's great that as a sophomore she's gained the experience that she has.
UTEP Guard Natasha Lacy
(On defending Candice Wiggins) We tried to be physical with her but that didn't work because she gets to the free throw line, we tried playing off her but she hits the threes, she goes backdoor. She was just unconscious.
(On offensive struggles) 29% from the field, that's not a winning combination. I give credit where credit is due, Stanford did an excellent job defensively, with their gameplan and executing. We tried to be aggressive and drive to the hole, but you can't score when the ball's not going in the basket.
UTEP Guard Jareica Hughes
(On hunger for further success) We got a little taste of it and we're really proud of one another that we got this far, and we definitely want to go further. That hunger is always going to be there. I'm still hungry.

Quote of the Day: "If every member pledged to not vote for it (the health care bill) if they hadn't read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes." -- Senator Steny Hoyer, House Majority Leader
Subject: URGENT correction
Yesterday we told you it appeared unlikely Congress would pass a health care bill before the August recess. Things have changed in the last 24 hours. Congressional leaders are once again pressing to rush the bill through.
This is very dangerous. We must resist this with everything we've got. Not only will it be bad for the government to expand its involvement in health care, RUSHING to do so will be even worse.
If they pass a bill containing nearly 1,000 pages you can be sure that almost no one voting for it will really understand it.
Please hit Congress again. Use DownsizeDC.org's health care campaign to send your message.
This time use your personal comments to tell your Congressional employees that you object to rushing through such an important and complicated bill. Tell them you expect them to read and understand every single word of the bill BEFORE they vote.
It doesn't matter if you've sent recent messages on this issue. Send another one. Say something different this time.
We must keep opposing these proposals until they're defeated, or we'll regret it for the rest of our SHORTENED lives.
Thank you.

A campaign group that was created to stop the Tumbledown Dick pub from being turned into a fast food restaurant has disbanded.
The Friends of the Tumbledown Dick officially terminated its efforts in fighting to save the historic Farnborough pub after 18 months of protest.
Planning permission to redevelop the Farnborough Road site into a McDonald's was granted last October and construction work has now begun.
A spokesman for the campaign group said: "With the destruction of the Tumbledown Dick and all its history in full swing, sadly we feel now is the time to bring a close to Friends of the Tumbledown Dick.
"Therefore we look to all those that have supported and worked hard on the campaign one last time".
The landmark Tumbledown Dick, which is believed to have been on the site since the 1600s, has previously hosted bands like Reuben, Hundred Reasons and The Jam.
The pub has been closed for several years, with more than 3,000 people joining the social media campaign to save the 'Tumbly' amid plans for the venue to be sold to the international fast food chain.
An appeal to overturn the decision to create a McDonald's was rejected on the same day as the campaign chairman, Fran Beauchamp resigned last November.
Claims were made that the campaign to save the Tumbledown Dick was sabotaged by someone within Rushmoor Borough Council offices, while the campaign group vowed to put its efforts into setting up a different community or music venue.
Any funds left after the campaign has ceased will be donated to local charities with similar aims, such as The Gaming Zone for young people in Rushmoor, Farnborough Foodbank, Alder-shot and Farnborough Festival Of Music And Art, and Rushmoor Healthy Living.
The Friends group added: "We hope you all agree that this is a fitting way for the funds raised to be used.
"The funds being dispersed are the monies raised through The Friends of the Tumbledown Dick gigs.
"Unfortunately, as we were unable to see off the McDonald's acquisition, the significant revenue and capital pledges to the Friends of the Tumbledown Dick for purchasing, renovation and operating of the Tumbledown Dick as a community hub, music venue and pub are no longer available to us due to the stipulations attached.
"We would like to thank the organisations that gave us support, both financial and practical, during our campaign.
"We are only sorry that we were unable to deliver our aims for the benefit of the people of Rushmoor, despite an enormous effort by all.
"Let the lasting legacy of The Friends of the Tumbledown Dick be one of community spirit, people joining together for a common goal and a new impetus on civic pride that we hope will continue into other projects within Rushmoor".

Well now this race is all over the place. The National Board of Review just announced its list and Best Picture went to… Spike Jonzes's Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix and featuring Scarlett Johansson's voice. Apparently Scarjo's work in this film is so wonderful, there are those who believe she should be nominated for an acting award even though she doesn't actually appear onscreen. Full Story

The New York Film Critics Circle just named Jared Leto Best Supporting Actor for his work in Dallas Buyers Club. It's almost a given now that he'll receive an Oscar nomination.

George's polka dots, George's women
George Clooney covers the new issue of W. I LOVE this photo shoot. I love that he was willing to play. Could you see Leonardo DiCaprio agreeing to this? George discusses a variety of subjects ranging from Hitler to art to how movie endings these days have become so… banal. The Chinese in me agrees. Full Story
There you are, Meryl

Meryl Streep has been largely absent from promotion for August: Osage County. She's been shooting movies, busy, and hustling on carpets and at parties isn't usually her thing, although once in a while, if Harvey Weinstein nags at her hard enough, she'll oblige. That said, the Academy has been very kind to Meryl Streep. Full Story
Brad vs George?
I LOVE it when Brad Pitt and George Clooney are together in a bro down situation. It's been a while. George is allergic to commitment and children. So I guess he doesn't really hang at the Brange compound too much. Still, it would be nice to see them on a carpet together again, all Oceans and cool, the most popular boys in school. Full Story

Syrian forces kill 13 in Libya-inspired protests
AMMAN Oct 21 (Reuters) - President Bashar al-Assad's forces shot dead on Friday at least 13 anti-Assad protesters whose numbers were swelled by the killing of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, activists and residents said.
Most of the killings were in the central city of Homs and in Hama to the north, scene of some of the largest military operations in a crackdown on the seven month uprising, where a nascent insurgent movement has also emerged, they said. (Reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis, Amman newsroom)

But there are lots of holes in SprintPCS's coverage map, so I wasn't yet sold.

Most Useful Photoshop Tricks of All Time
These super-useful, often-unknown, tricks will make your Photoshop workflow twice as fast. Vote for the best ones.
Double-Click Zoom to 100%
Zooming around with the magnifying glass is easy enough, but what about restoring the image to its original 100%? If you're way zoomed in, zooming out with the magnifying glass takes too long. Instead, simply double-left-click the zoom tool button. Viola! Instant 100% zoom restored.
Load Layer Selection With One Click
Being able to quickly load and save selections is vital to speeding up your Photoshop workflow, but masks and the Load/Save menu are too slow. Luckily there's a better way. To select everything on a particular layer, hold CTRL and left-click on the layer's thumbnail. Viola! Instant selection load. Even gradients and feathery selections load perfectly.
Make Straight Lines with the Brush
So you're playing around with a brush or pencil and want to draw some straight lines. Good luck doing it by hand. Ordinarily you'd bring up a grid and turn on snapping, but if you're not that committed, try the following approach. With the brush or pencil selected, hold down SHIFT and left-click once at the point where your line should start. Then left-click again at another point. Photoshop will draw a straight line from A to B. Neat! And there's no reason to stop there. You can keep going through to C, D, etc.
Select An Object's Layer in One Click
You're not a master Photoshopper until you've created files with hundreds of layers, but if you get sloppy and forget to name them all properly, finding an individual element's layer can be a real chore. Fear not! Simply select the Move tool, hold CTRL and left-click the element you're interested in. Viola! That element's layer is automatically selected.
Move the Selection Marquee Before Committing
Have you ever tried to crop something with the Selection Marquee only to realize that your initial placement of marquee was off by a few pixels? Arghh!!! That can be frustrating, forcing you to redo the entire selection. But that's not how the pros do it. Instead, while you drag the selection out hold down SPACE with your thumb. Viola! Now you can nudge the marquee around the screen without yet committing to its final dimensions.
Marquee Selection Shortcuts
Working with selections is one of the most common Photoshop tasks, so you'd better bone up on your selection shortcuts. Holding SHIFT with an existing selection present will add to it. Holding ALT will subtract from it. Holding SHIFT + ALT will leave the intersection of two selections. Holding ALT when starting a fresh selection will center its origin point. Holding SHIFT when starting a fresh selection will constrain its proportions to equal length, producing a perfect square or circle.
Quick Background Color Knock Out
All too often you find a perfect graphic for your layout, but it's on a white background. You need a quick way to extract the graphic but it may be complex, and you don't want to waste several minutes on the Magic Wand. Luckily you can knock out most solid-color backgrounds in seconds via a layer's Blending Options. Right-click on a layer and go to Blending Options to bring up the image shown above. Then, holding ALT, drag the left half of the white slider towards the black slider. Viola! White background gone. This is a great rough-and-tumble technique for rapid mock ups.
Quickly Add a New Layer: CTRL + Shift + n
Layers used a lot in photoshop, being able to quickly add a new layer whenever you need it is important: CTRL + SHIFT + N
Save As: CTRL + Shift + S
You always have several versions of whatever it is that you are working on, I know I do! Being able to save a copy or backup quickly enough can be important.
CTRL + Shift + S
Just remember the shift... or you might end up overwriting your saved file.
Use Adjustment Layers
Adjustments like Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, and Levels are typically applied through the Image >> Adjustments menu. But that's not best practice. What happens if you later decide to scale back that contrast change? You can't! Instead, apply adjustments as Adjustment Layers via the button found at the bottom of the Layers Box. Now your Adjustment is fully dynamic. Yay!

Colorado Springs cartoonist satirizes city politics
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - He's got an opinion and he's not afraid to show it.
A Colorado Springs man is sharing his political views through comics he creates on an app called Bitstrips. The app lets him create characters and scenes and build comic strips one photo at a time.
Most of Ed Billings' comics deal with happenings at Colorado Springs City Hall and many target Mayor Steve Bach.
"He's only focused on one place in Colorado Springs and that's downtown," Billings said of the mayor. "He doesn't look at what's going on in other neighborhoods."
Billings' current point of contention is the proposed City for Champions project. The $250 million project includes a downtown Olympic museum, a downtown sports and events center, a sports medicine and performance center at UCCS and a renovated Air Force Academy visitors center. The state's Economic Development Commission approved $120.5 million in state incentives over the next 30 years for the project. Project supporters must come up with the rest.
"We're spending money on a speculative project and yet we're letting our infrastructure be neglected," Billings said.
Billings told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that while Bach is his favorite person to depict, no one is off limits.
"You can rest assured, if there were liberals in City Hall, I'd be picking on them too," Billings said.
Billings said he's always been active in city politics, but it wasn't until he started the comics and shared them on social media that he saw a wider response.
"If this were the 1980s, how would I be able to articulate what regular people are seeing in Colorado Springs to my friends in Maryland? You just couldn't do that," he said.
He hopes his comics will inspire others to share their thoughts and get involved in city politics, no matter what their opinion may be.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Can I complete the course before my creditors meeting? Can I do it early, like as soon as I get my case number? I completed the course 3 weeks before my creditors meeting.
To get your discharge you should complete the second financial management class (pre-discharge class) before the deadline for creditors to object to your discharge. That date is scheduled at 60 days after your first scheduled 341 meeting.
You CAN complete it anytime after your case is filed until that deadline. I ask my clients to finish it before the 341 meeting so after that day there is not much else they need to do but wait for their discharge.
Best Regards,

The requirement is that you must complete the class anytime after you file but before you would be eligible to receive a discharge. That information is on the form B9C that you received from the bankruptcy court under the section marked "deadlines." The better practice is to complete the class immediately after filing so you don't overlook this requirement. BTW, although the Trustees tell people to file the certificate, In Nevada, you must file Form B23 together with your certificate. The Trustees obviously never have represented a client & don't really know! Hope this perspective helps!Ask a similar question
Debtor Education can be completed right after your case is filed and up until your discharge. Also, the official corresponding form 23 must be filed with the BK court. The court may or may not send notice for failure to do so. However, failure to file the form can result in the dismissal of your case and no discharge!Ask a similar question
You can take this course the moment you have a case number, which generally issues at the instance of filing.
In Nevada, we also have to file Form B23, which you sign stating that you took the course.
If you don't file the certificate of completion, your case may be dismissed as soon as61 days after the date first set for your 341 hearing, so be sure you do take it in plenty of time.Ask a similar question

Chiang Mai, the northern city of Thailand is a real contrast from Bangkok and is considered by many to be the 'real Thailand'. While it does have a lot of Western influences, and you are never far away from a familiar brand of shop or eatery, its laid back vibe and slower pace of life makes it an essential destination on any trip to Thailand or even Southeast Asia.
While lots of travellers end up staying here longer than they planned, and joining the growing ranks of foreigners who are making this city their home for a few months or more, there are even more visitors to Thailand who don't make it up to Chiang Mai as it doesn't have a beach and is considered a bit out of the way.
If you are one of those people who aren't yet sold on the idea of heading up north, then his article should hopefully sell some its attractions, and make you reconsider your plans. For those of you who are already planning on visiting, then these highlights should give you some ideas of what to see and do and what to avoid while in Chiang Mai.
Get a Bird's Eye View of the City
Looming in the background of Chiang Mai is Doi Suthep and the Buddhist temple that was built upon it called Wat Prahthat. Most of the baht buses or songthaews that cruise the city will take you up there, although the ones with Doi Suthep emblazoned across their windscreens are a safe bet. It's a short drive to the mountain foot, and then a windy trip up to the top. Once there it's just a quick sprint up 309 steps in the gentle warmth and mild humidity of Thailand, and you will have reached Wat Prahthat. Some crazy farangs even trek up Doi Suthep but I wouldn't recommend it for the casual visitor.
The views from the top are breath-taking though, and really give you an idea of the size of Chiang Mai, which can seem quite small from the ground. As this is one of the must see attractions of the city, you won't be alone when you make it to the temple, and will be sharing the sights with many other tourists. But this is to be expected with anything that is worth doing or seeing in Thailand.
As this is a functioning Buddhist temple, you will have to abide by the standard rules of taking your shoes off, wearing clothes that cover your legs and shoulders if you are a woman, and not climbing on things to get a 'funny' photo of yourself desecrating a religious artefact.
There are 100s of other temples in Chiang Mai but none of them feature the views of this one so if you want to avoid temple-fatigue, make this one the first on your visit.
Take a Slow Boat up the River
Chiang Mai was built along the Ping River which eventually turns into the Chao Phraya River, which runs through Bangkok. You can take a boat ride on this epic journey but a more convenient way to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this river is to take a half day, boat trip from the main bridge. If you partake in an organised tour, you get a guide for the boat who points out various features along the banks as well as any wildlife he spots as you make your way over the water. The trip stops off at a farm museum which has live examples of vegetables and herbs which grow in Thailand as well as a few large pigs that are residents of the mock-farm. The highlight of this trip though, is the lunch, where you will be served the local northern dish of Khao Soi which is one of the must-east dishes of the region.
You don't have to take a boat trip to enjoy the river though; you can simply walk along its banks or spend some time watching the view from the bridge. The more adventurous of you out there could try and get hold of some canoes or kayaks and explore the river at your own leisure. However you choose to experience the Ping River though, it is definitely one of the highlights of Chiang Mai.
Time for Tea
While in Bangkok you are never far from a Starbucks, in Chiang Mai you are never far from an independent tea house serving coffee and teas from around the world, as well as local blends and home baked snacks. Walking down a side street and spotting a quiet and peaceful shop is one of the joys of this city, and it is highly recommended you make as many stops as you can along the way.
The highlight of the tea houses in Chiang Mai is the Raming Tea House Siam Celadon, which is a few minutes' walk from the centre of town. It's an old teak house which has been done up to serve as a tea room and eatery serving light refreshments. The tea is great but the cakes are wonderful so make sure you stop by if you are passing, on your way to the river. There is a tranquil garden out the back where you can sit for your refreshments, or just enjoy the architecture from inside.
What Not to Do in Chiang Mai
When tourists start coming to any town, a lot of questionable activities are setup to help part them with their money. Chiang Mai is no exception, and as well as being a likely waste of money, a lot of the tours and day setup will also help exploit the local people and animals. So while it might be fun to ride an elephant, visit a human zoo of hill tribe people or snuggle up to a suspiciously docile tiger, spare a thought for the people and animals who are providing your entertainment.
While the elephants you get to ride might seem in ok spirits, think about the process involved in getting them to function as human taxis, let alone the ones forced to perform as circus animals. Hill tribe people, living in exhibition villages, might benefit from some of the money tourists give them on their visits, but does this outweigh the boredom and pointlessness of a life spent sitting around all day being gawped at by tourists with big cameras?
If you do take a day trip in Chiang Mai, you can have some great experiences, like travelling down the river, through the jungle on a bamboo raft, or pelting if full speed through the rapids in a rubber dingy. But when booking, try to avoid signing up for anything with a hill tribe visit or a snuggle session with some subdued tigers. You never know, with a drop in numbers, one day the tour guides might decide to take these activities off their books.
If you do want to see an elephant, but don't feel the need to force it to transport you around like a proboscidean rickshaw, then the Elephant Nature Park is your best bet, having been setup by the Save Elephant Foundation. It's not cheap, but you go with a clear conscience and it's the real deal.

Relationships can be hard enough to manage without the added stress of the almighty dollar. So, what do you do when someone you care about owes you money? Siblings drift apart, best friends become enemies and working relationships become hostile if borrowing money isn't handled properly. Here we examine three ways to talk to your friends, family, and even coworkers about cash in a respectful way.
Scenario: Your Little Sister Becomes a Big Freeloader
Most of us have either lent or borrowed money from a family member before. It's natural to want to help those who are closest to us, but when does loaning money go from being helpful to harmful to your relationship? For example, there's nothing wrong with loaning your little sister who's in college some cash to buy books for next semester. But what happens when she's hitting you up when she wants a new dress for homecoming, a plane ticket for spring break, or for you to pay her phone bill?
How to deal:
In situations like this, loaning out money is actually harmful…to your sister. Instead of learning to manage her funds wisely--which is part of becoming a responsible adult--little sis' is being careless with her money and expecting you to foot the bill. It's best to have a frank conversation that goes something like, "I love you and I don't mind helping you with the occasional school expense. However, I want you to be independent and learn how to manage your money responsibly. Why don't we sit down next week and create a budget that works for you?"
This lets her know that you care about her and want to help, but that you are drawing boundaries in your relationship. She'll thank you for it in the long run and you eliminate an unhealthy pattern of co-dependence that can lead to resentment in the future.
Scenario: Your B.F.F. thinks you are a B.A.N.K.
It's easy to lose track of money with friends in a social setting. Spotting someone at the movies and picking up the tab at dinner are part of reciprocally altruistic relationships. But what happens when you always pay for dinner, buy the concert tickets, and loan cash without ever being paid back? How do you approach the situation without coming off as a penny pinching miser?
How to deal:
I've found one of the best ways to deal with this situation is to establish boundaries in a fun way. One option is to take turns treating each other when you go out. That way there's no awkward conversation about who owes who money. So the next time your mooching friend asks you to pick up the tab, try saying, "Sure. This one's on me. Next time, it's your treat." If you keep it light and smile, you'll establish a boundary without embarrassing your friend, who might not even realize she's taking you for granted.
Scenario: Mixing Business with Money
The same approach can also work well in a professional situation as well. However, it's best to avoid borrowing and lending cash to co-workers altogether. You don't want to go from being best buddies with Becky in accounting to thinking, "B*&%! better have my money!" every time you pass her desk. If you can't afford to give it without them paying you back, then you really can't afford to help.
"Bank of You" User Agreement
When someone hits you up for some cash, it's best to talk about it, set boundaries, and avoid large sums. My experience has taught me that it's best to avoid lending money altogether, but if you must here are a few tips I recommend to keep your relationship intact:
1. Make sure you can afford it! If you can give the loan from extra money you have saved up, that would be best. The last thing you want to do is go into debt trying to help someone else.
2. Evaluate the relationship. Make sure that you—and your relationship with this person—will be just fine if you are never repaid one penny.
3. Make it legal. For only $8, you can download a promissory note from Nolo.com and have your friend or relative agree to sign a simple loan document. It should detail the amount borrowed, when repayment will start, and the interest you will be paid.
True friends will understand and respect your financial boundaries. If not, then they probably are not great friends to begin with. #LoanDenied

Selgeron wrote:New at this so please critique !
Its always a good idea to keep the standard quote in the first post, it helps people find your shirt from the "all comments" section.
You should try to show your design bigger, its hard to see what it is exactly, the preferred method for this seems to be to show your design as big as you can make it in the 600x600 space and the squeezing in a tshirt comp somewhere.
Good luck!
Re: Happy Happy Joy Joy

I tend to agree. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who couldn't at least point out Pikachu. You bring up a good point with the rejection of the usual lineup shirt (though which is better is debatable). I didn't know what that shirt was referencing before it was mentioned that it was on the poster for the movie.
I'm a self-proclaimed Nintendo fanboy myself, but I still have to wonder just how legal this design would be to sell, especially since Nintendo sells their own clothing as well.

NonDescript wrote:okay. so i've heard the pucker story,and i understand your need for tradition. and if you win a derby it'll make a cute blurb on the front page and all, but why not submit multiple shirts? i'd love to see what else you are capable of
Mr. Descript,
Thank you for the kind words and question. A long time ago I prepared a long-winded manifesto of sorts concerning my entries. I think it's buried on page 4 or 5 of the EBW pages, with a last post in March or May 2008. Of those who read it, more than a few ended up realizing that the pucker is more fun when it's shrouded in mystery. Part of the truth is that I am not the most creative or artistic person, and this is the card I play. It's fun for me to do, and I get enjoyment out of learning new tricks and skills every now and then with the drawing programs.
I like how the derby is open for anyone who can post an entry, and the whole democratic system of it all.
I have entered "non-pucker related" entries in the past, some of them under different login names as well, and the interesting thing is that in those weeks both the pucker and the non-pucker entries got almost the same number of votes, even without any public cross-promotion, so I concluded that my skills are good for about this many votes no matter what the subject matter I choose.
But I hope that some day I may get lucky and strike a chord with one of my attempts, because I think it would be really cool to walk around town wearing a T-shirt and telling people "I drew this shirt and it sold dozens!"
Re: Sonica
good job!!
Re: continuous solitude
Very nice. Wow, can you imagine how great this would look in gold foil?
What was your thought process? How many rules I can break at once?
You must pick ONLY one color.
Celebrities/Politicians are prohibited unless parodied.
There is no way to tell that you have not retraced a line at any point.
And while I admire your talent to make a recognizable picture out of just a scribbled line, who, in their right mind, would want to wear Osama on their chest? Ffugly simply for the subject matter.
Re: Metamorphosis
Very clean and simple. I like your color choice too.
I considered the change in colors but they all went into the darker spectrum. Keeping things light and colorful was the plan. I literally drafted this idea from a string of yarn at my cubicle on Fri.
yeah, I was bored.
[thanks for the critique/comment. i enjoy feedback]

Stuck on Floor 84
I can not get #84. I have done all three, red, two blue, then all three. and it did not work??
Answer from: PDB
You have to do the series a few times. All three at the same time for purple, single red, both blue at the same time, then all three again. Repeat until it opens. I think it was about 2 or 3 times but maybe it was more.
Answer from: Falchi97
I can't press at the same time all the bottons! Please give me an advice!!
Answer from: lulaboss07
Use two or three fingers at once.
Answer from: tjbabes
Try listening to the tone - if its a musical note its right if it buzzes you havent pressed them correctly
Answer from: Ughhhhh
The high chime is for the red button and the buzz is for the blue buttons, there is no chime or buzz if it is right or wrong.
Answer from: Henrik
Like PDB says, the sequence must be done twice (in my case it was 2 times).
It's easier if you press: All 3 at the same time, then red, then, while still pressing the red, press the right blue, let go of the red then press the left blue, then while still pressing the right blue, press the red and then the left blue, then repeat all steps one more time.
Answer from: Emy
I have done it 5+ times in a row (all making the proper sounds) and I still cannot beat the level! Help!
Answer from: Melaniealy
When I do it, it doesn't make any sound at all (and yes, I made sure the sound was on). I've done it probably 10 times and it does not work.
Answer from: xy
You only need to do the sequence once. The low sound means you didn't press the buttons at EXACTLY the same time. Just do the sequence All 3, Red, 2 Blue, All 3. If you get the low sound start again.
Answer from: jojo
Turn off the 3 finger gesture! It worked for the EVO LTE
Answer from: jojo
But make sure u turn it back because the next board won't work properly
Answer from: ISeeYou
I've done this Level. You Must tip very quick and short. It's easier to use two hands. And then tip it very quick and short.
Answer from: RufusVS
On the iPhone, you have to go to Settings-General-Accessibility, and turn Zoom Off! therwise the 3 finger gesture is used for zoom and pan control.(did you notice the screen expand when you tried it?)
Answer from: Drena Dee
I just finally figured it out. I have an iPhone 4S, and I had to turn off three-finger zoom. Go to Settings->General->Accessibility->Zoom. Make sure zoom is off. I played level 84 darn near a gazillion times, thinking I was just doing it wrong. Worked first time after I turned off the zoom feature. Hope this helps someone else in my shoes!
Answer from: Lisy
It works! People who use iPhone 4s, please turn off the zoom function!! It works ! I suck at the floor 84 and tried gazillion times. I was so frustrated and can't figure out what is wrong. Thank you Drena Dee.
Answer from: JG717
I have iphone 3g i turned zoom off, i get no sound at all, i am sure the sound is on etc, it just doesnt work. is there any to skip tis floor? i have tried everything can anyone help
Answer from: Rob98
You need to push all three then red then blues then all three :don't give up
Answer from: jesslee
Ok!!! i finally got it ... my mistake was when pushing all 3, I thought I was doing it right until I heard an even higher pitch!
SO ppl are probably making the same mistake. listen carefully. and to get all 3 twice is haaarrrdd! :) good luck.
Answer from: Matt
Push all three buttons one after the other not at the same time. That's how I did it and it worked. Happy gaming ;)
Answer from: Randomness
Try hitting all three repeatedly until the purple light comes on. Then hit the red repeatedly until the light comes on. Do the same with the final steps. Worked for me.
Answer from: ToodaBuns
I tried this level so many times! The sequence given in other posts is correct- the secret is to use your headphones to really hear the different musical tones. The tone for pushing all three is definitely higher than the two blue; you just have to listen. This worked on my kindle fire finally!

Most good cooks agree: Basil is a must-have herb ― it's wonderful in marinades, salads, and soups, and the key ingredient in pesto.
The pot pictured here combines several types ― 'Sweet' and 'Profuma di Genova' in back (these mild-tasting green basils make the best pesto), 'Red Rubin' (a spicier, more pungent basil that's striking in salads and vinegar), and 'Windowbox' (a flavorful, compact, 6- to 9-inch-tall basil; good on fish or for sprinkling into sauces or salads).
Specialty basils are available at many local nurseries or they can be ordered by mail. Renee's Garden (888/880-7228 for store locator) sells 'Profuma di Genova' and 'Windowbox'. Territorial Seed Company (541/942-9547) sells 'Sweet' and 'Red Rubin'.
Time :
10 to 15 minutes
Cost: $35 to $50
23-inch-wide container, at least 9 inches deep
2-cubic-foot bag of potting soil
Organic granular fertilizer
Three green basil plants, two purple basil plants, three dwarf basil plants, from 2- or 4-inch pots
1. Put the container in a spot that gets full sun. Fill it to within about 2 inches of the pot rim with potting soil. Mix in a granular fertilizer.
2. Gently remove the basil seedlings from their nursery containers, then set them in the big pot so the tops of their rootballs sit about an inch below the pot lip. (If you start basils from seed, allow four weeks for the seedlings to reach transplant size.) Plant three large green basils toward the rear, two purple basils toward the center, and three dwarf basils in front. Fill in around the plants with soil.
3. Water well. Harvest by pinching growing tips or leaves.

Marketing of Dragon Age
View Single Post
September 29th, 2009, 19:54
To tell you the truth I have no idea what they were marketing. I've avoided most of the big stuff that would just annoy me, but the new shit video. Now that was something I had to see. Still like it, still don't care what people think about it.
As for the rest, I tried to understand what they were doing, but you got me. Were they appealing to the console crowd or the young newbies? I really don't know. All I do know is that it has been a very strange PR campaign.
They didn't take for granted the built-in audiance. In the beginning before this PR blitz, they gave me (the built in audience
) what I wanted to know and see "The gameplay". That was all I needed. A few months after they released the combat videos and some descriptions of the characters, they started the PR blitz for new gamers. Not sure if it's going to work or not. It was pretty lame how they kept trying to press the 'mature' and 'bloody' message. Not to mention 'sex'. I think they could of toned down just how hardcore they are.
Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a rat in a cage.

Hi again Christian
There are a couple of obvious board-mods, no major changes or op-amp stuff though.
Until you've cleaned everything however, you won't know if they work or not.
...here's that lovely £60 diy mic-pre.
There has been loads said about it on the net; so see what people say.
Better still; just order a pair NOW, with your plastic.
Couple of hours soldering; gets you a valve based mic-pre with op-amp front-end; that you would be hard-pushed, not to know didn't cost $1000 ( serious ).
Probably wouldn't impress people much on gearslutz though.
Oh well; they won't be renting your studio; they'll be too busy waxing on about Neve & Manley; whilst having anxiety attacks about how much the latest video-bandwidth op-amp is going to set them back & how many pico-volts of noise reduction they MAY get ( if they fit it correctly, that is ! ).
Anyway; nuff ranting...
...here's the best upgrade since meths, pipe-cleaners & Lexicons ( whoops, I mentioned some gear; what a slut ! ).

One question... Where do I ordere that DIY Mic Pre? Is there a PCB for it? As I can see, I already have most of the components in stock at my workshop, or they have it at my work.

Hi Christian
Smart move on the self-built cables; shop stuff rubbish !
( clean the pins ! )
Personaly I would not track through the board further than a direct-out from the strips ( pre-EQ ).
That's just me though.
Record flat; EQ the mix.
Having reduced the massive potential noise from likely dirty contacts; you could try something on the board.
Not for noise reduction as such ( might help though ).
I would look at replacing components c1 c2 c7 c8 on the schematic; all of which are before the first op-amp.
I think after the big contact clean-up; you listen ( hopefully be TOTALY amazed ! ), and then do the strip-mod on 1 channel & listen to that.
See if it is noticable.
Components c1 & c2 block the 48 Volt phantom-power from getting to the first-stage ( leakey, noisey, electrolytics, not good ).
Any DC leaked through from phantom-power obviously makes the first transistor pair VERY UNHAPPY ( sob...sob...).
My thought is that the component value here ( I think it says 47uF on the schematic ) does not have to be this large a value.
10uF should be fine.
The schematic states c7 & c8 to be 10uF also.
I would replace all 4 of them with 10uF 63 Volt Polyester capacitors.
The orange-blob shape ones are great.
They come to this 10uF, in a very modest sized package.
Can be mounted slightly off-board on short insulated leads etc. if needed.
In the UK I would order CPC part # CA05390 about 1 euro each.
These are actualy 100 Volt, I am sure RS have similar in 63 Volt maybe.
I'm sure you know this component as lecey-guy, very easy to get & compact.

Go to PAiA Corporation - Analog Synths, Theremins, Preamps, and More ( a USA based company ).
They have everything for about 60 euro's.
Inc skts, valve etc. etc.
Comes with PCB.
They do not sell PCB's alone.
I would throw some 'trick parts' at it myself ( it is worth it )...
...but the unit works great, as is, simples...
Also some component matching as well..
You could buy a pair to test ( great for precision mid-side etc.)...
...then copy the board youself.
As said the Gyraf G9 'all-tube' mic-pre is well worth checking out.
Strangely enough....I'm building one at the moment !!!!!!
There is however no kit available.
There is a PCB though.
But I hear it has 'issues'.
Personaly I am P2P on the Gyraf G9.
The design is WAY more complex than the Paia.
And WAY more expensive; by a VERY large factor.
I am hopeing for good things from the Gyraf G9...
...but honestly...in a blind AB test...
...I do not think one would sound BETTER than the other; just DIFFERENT.
Nice Danish chap the Gyraf designer...
...bung some Lundahls in...BINGO
Back to ye olde days.

Of course the other obvious thing to do is...
...Just get rid of the phantom-power blocking capacitors c1 & c2 altogether...
...and replace them with an input transformer.
Benifits :-
No input capacitors before your first gain stage.
RF effectivley blocked from saturating the first sensitive gain transistors.
FREE GAIN !!! ( can't be a bad thing ).
Could try a modest 1:2 or 1:3
Thus backing off the mic-gain control & getting much less noise.
Don't forget also...
...all your inputs don't have to be the same, like a factory board.
Transformer inputs for your best ( probably less output ) mics.
Cheap transformer inputs for your next best, etc etc.
Can fit them one at a time and check brands & results as you see fit.
Still replace c7 & c8 as well.
When the transistor came along, input transformers were dropped from most ( affordable ) desks.
This MAY have not been such an issue way back when...
...but these days, particularly with the cell-phone density the way it is...
...need I say more.
I have used cheap OEP transformers from RS etc.
And expensive Lundahl's from the even more expensive Canford Audio.
You do get what you pay for though.
The main point being, the lower the resistance of the windings; the less noise.
More wire, bigger wire, bigger transformer, more expensive transformer.
Best spec. to look for ???
Pretty much just buy 'em by weight !!!

Check out the input transformer market on eBay.
Sometimes there are some great 'bulk' deals to be had.
People who want just 1 or 2 input transformers don't bid on the bulk lots & sometimes you can get a WAY BETTER deal if you bid on a whole load at once.

My assistant and I were in the studio this evening cleaning all connectors out. We need a few of the loose microphone cables, but all connectors on the Soundcraft are cleaned thorougly. Next step is recapping the console, which I will start doing on monday when I receive the caps in the mail.
I am looking at eBay for input transformers, waiting for a good deal, then I will modify some of the channels to be transformer coupled, and maybe use some transformers to build some valve mic pre's. I have a bunch of old Philips SQ-40 high-voltage (100V) amplifiers, where the cabinets/cases/whatever they are called, will be excellent for making some "vintage" looking tube preamps. They also have some components I can reuse for the project.

Hey, just wondering if there were any updates on your 600. Especially what mods you did (and how they sound) and if you ended up putting transformers on some channels.
I just picked up a 600 and have begun the restoration process and am very curious how yours is going.

I didn't want to put this in the Theravadin meditation section because it felt too diversionary, so I decided to just post it here.
My experience last night at the local Soto Zendo was very interesting. The meditative technique they use is Shikantaza ("just sitting") where there is no object of concentration like the breath as in Vipassana. The eyes are open, which I personally found made it more difficult for me to watch my own thoughts pass by without hooking onto them and daydreaming. I found that Shikantaza made me more aware of the external present moment (such as the minutae of the environment, sounds etc.) than it did of the the internal present moment (my thoughts) the way vipassana seems to.
It struck me that Shikantaza almost seemed like a "jumping in at the deep end" aproach to meditation. I felt like I was trying to drive a car without first being instructed what the steering wheel did. I found myself wondering how anyone in the Soto tradition could achieve the bright awareness in "just sitting" without first learning concentration practices. The instructor was a little cryptic but I couldn't help but think "if I was capable of just sitting down and achieving this state of perfect clarity without actually doing anything then wouldn't I be a buddha already?"
Granted, I'm a complete novice at both techniques and maybe jumping in at the deep end may work very well, as it often literally does in swimming instruction I guess. Or maybe I'm missing the point of Shikantaza altogether?
Do any of you have experience with both techniques? What differences did you discover? Do you favor one over the other and why? What worked best for you in your earlier years of study?
I'm just full o' questions today and I really appreciate your insights...

About MeIm the type of girl that's always in need of a adventure. I travel a lot,play music, and of course model. My mother was a photographer and now my sister is a professional photographer if it wasn't for them i wouldn't have found the love i have for modeling, when i first started walking, i was in a pair of heels.
I love all different styles of photography but my favorites would have to be, pin up, lingerie, fashion, vintage, and good crazy themes.
Im always smiling, weird, goofy and love to have a good time on shoots. I also want to branch out to some extra's in movies/music videos.
Also warning, i do have tattoos and stretched ear lobes, there not hard to cover but its my style. My older photo's show a lot of the piercings i used to have. I now only have my nose, a dermal, navel, and for tattoo's i have, 3 on my right arm, knuckle's, and a foot tattoo. My ears are stretched to 2 inches, but never noticeable with my hair always covering them. Don't judge just yet, talk to me and get to know me, then lets book something!

CBS cares about married people. That was clear from the headline of their recent story: "Divorce contagious? Your network could bring you down." The first paragraph was even more straightforward: "Is your best friend getting a divorce? Watch out, your marriage could be next." (Thanks to April for the heads-up.)
The divorce report is the latest in a series based on an amazing dataset. Thousands of people from Framingham, Massachusetts have been studied repeatedly and extensively over time, some since 1948. The divorce study is based on more than 5,000 offspring of the original participants, plus the spouses of the offspring, and more than 12,000 people in their social networks.
Here are a few of the findings:
The authors believe that the people in our social networks, such as our friends, siblings, and coworkers, are influencing us. They ruled out alternative explanations such as "birds of a feather flock together" and the possibility that some external event is affecting everyone's divorce rate simultaneously.
So far, I'm with them. I do believe that our own attitudes and behaviors can be influenced by those of our friends, siblings, and co-workers. What bothers me is the assumption—by the media, and sometimes by the authors, too—that the influence is necessarily bad. CBS, remember, proclaimed in its headline that "your social network could bring you down." The authors urge us to consider divorce not just as an individual phenomenon but "as a public and social problem." They swallow a lot of the marriage mythology whole, and in their book, Connected, even use the condescending phrase "stupid bachelor tricks" to refer misleadingly to some of the research literature.
The authors' own work has shown that the important people in our lives can influence us in both good and bad ways. We can "catch" their happiness as well as their loneliness, and we can become either slimmer or fatter as a result of their apparent influence.
The questionable assumption, I think, is that if our friends, siblings, or co-workers nudged us toward divorce, that means they pushed us in a bad direction. Maybe in some cases, couples really were just experiencing a rough patch and could have and should have stayed together. But why assume that's always the case? (See Rachel Buddeberg's post, "Are you sure you want to call that marriage a failure?")
If your spouse is physically or emotionally abusive, then the friends who influenced you in the direction of divorce may well deserve your gratitude. But I don't think it is necessary, though, to invoke only the most extreme cases, such as those involving abuse. People live longer than they once did. They change jobs, they change locations—they just change. And two people don't always change in the same ways.
Even when children are involved, staying together "for the sake of the kids" is not always the most constructive solution. Studies showing problematic outcomes for children of divorce cannot answer this question: If the parents had stayed together, experiencing the same conflicts and antagonism that made them contemplate divorce, would the children have been better off than if the parents had split? We can't randomly assign clashing parents to stay together or divorce, so we can never know for sure.
I don't think very many couples take divorce lightly. When they see friends divorce, they don't just shrug and decide to do the same thing themselves. Maybe what's contagious isn't just divorce but reflection and contemplation. Maybe even courage. You see your friends divorce and you think more deeply and more seriously about whether staying married is the right thing to do. You know that getting divorced would be hard and expensive. You know it would probably be painful, even if your marriage has made you miserable. You've developed your routines, even if they are unpleasant ones. You'd have to develop a new way of living.
The path of inertia, and the path of doing what society in general thinks you should do, is to stay married. Maybe in your case, it is what you should do. Once a friend divorces, though, then maybe you make a more deliberate, thoughtful, informed choice.
When divorce was much more stigmatized, more couples stayed together. That doesn't mean that they were all doing the right thing, the brave thing, or even the safest thing.

How to Increase the IQ Level of KidsSubmitted By: Mojo Nichols in Education Tips category
IQ means Intelligence Quotient which measures brainpower and intelligence. The I.Q level can determine the person's destiny in life regarding their career to their hobbies. IQ levels play a major role in life of adults as well as children. You can increase the IQ level of your children. Most of the parents do not know how to increase the IQ level of kids and find that increasing IQ level is difficult. In fact, increasing the IQ level is simple. Studies have observed and found that environment and genetics play a major role in development of IQ level in children.
IQ tests were developed in France in 1900s. These tests helped to find the learning impairments in kids. Here are some tips on how to increase the IQ level of kids.
These simple points will give you an answer on how to increase the IQ level of kids.

Ventilation air filter
Cars have long been fitted with air cleaners to protect the engine. But the Saab 900 is probably the world's first car to be equipped with a truly efficient ventilation air filter to protect the occupants. This is obviously of greatest benefit to those who suffer from allergies.
Such a person may suffer a sudden attack of hay fever when exposed to pollen or other substances. This would obviously seriously impair the capabilities of a driver. The filter has been tested at Linkoping University, Sweden, using common pollen from birch and timothy. Not a single grain of pollen passed through the filter. But in addition to being revolutionary for people suffering from allergies, the filter also reduces the problem of road dust on the facia and the irritating greasy film on the insides of the windows.
The ventilation air filler consists of a 10 cm thick block of glass fibre, saturated with a special oil. The substances trapped by the filter include:- particles larger than 0.005 mm;- oil and soot;- 100% of all pollen

When a school bus pulled up to the edge of the giant Ubehebe crater in California's Death Valley, a group of teachers climbed out and peered inside the blown-out hole. Long ago, a volcano had spewed ash and lava onto the surrounding terrain. Despite the 114 degree temperature and gusty winds, the elementary and high- school teachers were thrilled. They had come to this forsaken place as members of an educational outreach program comparing geologically harsh places on Earth with the environment on Mars.
Coordinating everything on the trip from the supply of bottled water to lessons on Martian minerology was Sheri Klug, a tireless "teacher of teachers" with a passion for Mars. As the Mars K-12 Outreach Program Coordinator at Arizona State University, Sheri works with teachers and students nationwide to expand their understanding of Mars and loves leading teachers on "Martian" field trips. "When teachers get field experiences, it encourages them to get on the cutting edge of activities that unfold with the missions," she says. Once teachers are awed by the wonders of science, Sheri believes, "the way they promote science literacy is incredible."
While Sheri's mission is to educate and inspire teachers, she gets her own inspiration from the Mars team at JPL. "They're my heroes," she says, admiring their focus and passion for their jobs and helpfulness for her outreach program. She feels they do a fantastic job educating and exciting teachers about the possibilities Mars offers for exploration.
Sheri's appreciation of outreach began early in her teaching career when she joined a Mars Pathfinder field study program to learn about that mission and its goals. She later helped run the Mars Pathfinder workshop for JPL and won a NASA Fellowship. As a teacher, Sheri became more involved in Mars outreach programs and finally took on the job full-time, heading up ASU's program of lectures, workshops and field studies.
The success of Sheri's outreach is measured by what teachers take back to their classrooms. "It was awesome," said Jean Hopkins, a Death Valley participant and an instructional specialist from San Antonio, Texas. "The neatest thing was it became real to my kids because I was there in the desert. It made Mars more relevant to them."
For eighth-grade science teacher Charles Lindgren from Scituate, Massachusetts, the Death Valley field trip helped provide a new set of lessons. He plans on showing students photographs of Mars and Death Valley--not revealing which terrain is which--to give them a better idea of the similarities between the two planets.
All this is good news to Sheri, who wants to continue touring craters and dunes as a way of bringing our distant planetary neighbor closer to our students. If you're a teacher and would like to participate in Sheri's educational events, sign up now on her Arizona State University site http://marsed.asu.edu/!
