This seems to be one of those "cute little things" you receive as a gift, never use, then sell at a garage sale 5 years down the road. Idea is cute, but I just see clutter.

A fun stocking stuffer or gift for someone with a new job. As a note to the anti-China-made people, just bear in mind because of partnering with them, many people there are being lifted out of poverty and are becoming consumers of American products, so it is not all bad! If it were made here they'd probably have to charge $50 and no one would pay that.

Hi, it's Doctor Epstein with a patient who's had a prior procedure. He's here for a second procedure. I figured I make this little video here in the OR. We're gonna listen to music,my assistants are busy cutting the grafts under the microscope. His head is covered up and I just wanna show you this was his before and you can see this is before procedure. We did a strip procedure on him, you can see at a pretty advance degree of hair loss and here he is after. Go ahead, not to close. Here he is after one procedure, this is over a years worth of growth, around 2800 grafts. You can basically see what was done with basically filling in this entire area. He had very low hair before. We're just about to start the procedure, I'll show you how I make the recipient sides using blades which was 0.5 millimeters for the single hair grafts followed by 0.6 and 0.7 so we create a nice irregular appearing hairline and you can see I can start right here and make little incisions and these are gonna go ahead, these are being made between the existing hairs. Once again this is the 0.5 millimeter recipient site, very little bleeding, that's what we do with the single hair grafts then low for the back for two hair grafts. You can see I'm making a 0.6 millimeter recipient site, which is gonna allow his hairs to fit in there that's when we make the two hair grafts. Now I'm following his own natural direction of hair growth and then this is a 0.8 or 7... 7 and 8 we use for three hair grafts. This is actually an eight for the big one's which I'll put right in here and the smaller threes will go in here. So you'll see how I just make these nice little recipient sites. He's got little bit of bleeding, that's healthy we like to see that, he doesn't feel anything and that's how we do it. Anyway this is Doctor Epstein showing the result of follicular grafting procedure as well as intraoperatively showing how recipient sites are made which after they're all made they will then be planted. Thank you very much.

In order to produce the rotation from the base instead of from the upper body, you will
need to start the base rotating long before you allow the upper body to start rotating.
The best way to approach this is to begin your turn by stepping sideways while rotating
the moving leg and foot into a turned-out position in relationship to the body. For
example: To commence a left turn, you will step sideways onto the left foot, but with
the foot and leg turned out and pointing along the line of your shoulders
(see diagram).
The upper body will feel this as a side step, because you are moving laterally along the
line of your shoulders. But at the same time, your foot and leg will feel it as a forward
step, since they are pointing toward the direction of the step. This is called leading
the turn with your left (or right) side. Almost all turns should commence with a
side leading. It is very rare that you will start a turn with your upper body facing
squarely to the direction of the step.
Keep in mind that there are many variations upon this theme, and certainly not all
turns should or even can commence in this way. But this very generic all-purpose technique
is used for a majority of turns in many dance styles, and should be thought of as the
basic rule, to which some exceptions may apply.

MMA List Output Query
Good evening all,
Getting to the point.
I'm running some simulations, by cannibilising / calling some 3rd party
packages, and "streaming" the output to a text file.....nothing fancy.
The file then contains lists in the following form:
{1000.*Null, 1405.957761695439*Null, 1708.435324955003*Null,
2243.959625495902*Null, 3144.516641311864*Null}
Obviously I'd prefer the "*Null" to disappear!
Not having written all the code being used I can't add too much more....and
i'm not sure I know what to look for in the code of the packages I'm using.
I can import into Excel, and write a macro to strip the offending
characters, however I'd much rather understand what's causing the problem.
Any suggestions and recommendations on a book to consult about using mma for
simulations specifically is greatly appreciated.
If you want more details, contact me directly and I'll expand!!
Thanks in advance

Graverobbers feared as lake reveals Iraqi history
By Mohammed Abbas
HADITHA LAKE, Iraq (Reuters) - Drought and dams have vastly shrunk a lake in Iraq's western Anbar province, revealing ancient dwellings and burial sites that archaeologists fear will now be targeted by thieves.
"We found recently opened graves with destroyed grave items around. We found some bones scattered nearby. Some of this is due to the water, but this was also due to recent activity," said Yassin Jbara, an archaeologist supervising Haditha sites.
Recently broken ancient jars lie scattered on the lake's banks, where an eerie forest of skeletal trees have re-emerged from water that flooded the area in 1986 when a dam was built.
Dams further up the Euphrates river and drought have vastly dried the lake over the past two years. Now the dead trees stand stark against the bleak desert landscape, and decaying birds sway in the fishing nets tangled in the tree tops.
"There are people that dig up these pots and break them open looking for gold," said Jbara, plucking pottery from the mud.
Looting of the country's ancient sites has been a common problem in the decades of war and sanctions under Saddam Hussein and the lawlessness that engulfed Iraq since he fell in 2003, when looters carted off 15,000 artifacts just from the museum.
Iraq lies in the heart of a region many call the cradle of civilization, where Assyria, Babylonia and Sumer are among cultures and empires that have risen and fallen over millennia.
On the banks of Haditha Lake, rock staircases and the domed ceilings of mud-filled rooms are now visible under a carpet of shells left behind by the lake water. Continued...

Went out there yesterday to scout and it is dry as the sahara. Found a couple of wet spots and actually flushed up about 6 ducks. I think they were gadwalls.
Anyone hunt out there very much? I found some potholes that are not in the pool areas on the map. Is it legal to hunt those, or is waterfowl hunting only allowed in the pool areas. Did not want to tromp around too much int he woods since it was youth deer hunt and I did not have orange.
Thinking of trying poague or settles ford on opening weekend and avoiding the crowds at four rivers..etc.
Don't have a boat though so poague might be out of the running.

Are these milestones just rebranded from sprint? I would like to run gingerbread...but I.don't want a brick.
Yes the Milestone X is identical to the Droid X..just different name. They are easy enough to root and overclock and some custom roms like Liberty and Dark slide work alright. Just remember to do a nandroid backup first and never do a factory reset while on a different rom. That will most likely put you on Verizons baseband. Best to just hold off on roms til someone comes up with the SBF.

I want to flash dark slide but am afraid to without an sbf. Although I would not know how to install the sbf anyway.

My motorola milestone keeps restarting and have been told to flash an sbf.
I am not sure which want to use so any help would be great. Thank you.
Thats the thing. There are almost no sbf files for the Milestone. I am with Bluegrass Cellular and can't or wont flash ROMs because there is no sbf for Bluegrass.
I would love to install some ROMs but one mistake and you have a paperweight. Some have the guts to flash ROMs... I have a son who is running Dark Slide and it works fine. I just don't want to take the chance. I am not that lucky.
Go to Droid X Forums. There is a post there with all the known sbfs for the Milestone X. Im not sure, but think there are Milestone sbfs there also. Just depends on who your provider is.
The Droid X sbfs trash the radio in the Milestones... Therefore making it unable to place and receive calls.. Not sure what else isn't the same but know that the radios are different. One is CDMA and the other is GSM. I am pretty sure.
IF anyone has a sbf for bluegrass please contact me..
Good Luck.

OK odd question, my 11 mo male Papillon who was Neutered at 6 mo who never mounted before and still squats to pee, Is now acting like he wants to mount my 10 mo female Papillon who is in heat.
He isnt actually trying to do the "dee" but he acts like he is trying to mount her. Is this normal? I know she couldnt get pregnant but Im sure it is annoying for her. I try to seperate them as much as I can.
Oh by the way she is going to get spayed also, she is pretty small so they wanted to wait til she was a little older.
Thanks for the help

Firemist Blue/White Leather 72K. Its been sitting for 7 years, five of those outside. Started up a year ago and has stabiliser in the tank. Im a little worried about the timing gears rumour has it that the plastic gear is prone to getting brittle after 36 years and breaking. I do have a Royes steel replacement but fitting that seems to be quite a task! Thoughts on that chaps please!
Im thinking renewing all the fluids and oil/fuel filters, spark plugs (the plug wires were replaced just before it was laid up). What about wheel bearings, diff, brakes, suspension etc? Would appreciate any ideas or opinions. Thanks guys. I intend to get Blueboy back in shape and repainted in time. The plusses are a dash with no cracks and interior that is in 7/10 condition. Will need a new vinyl top too!
Caddys Rule!
Rock on

Clover the Bushland Terrier puppy at 5 months old (Cairn Terrier / Scottie mix)
Scottish Cairn Terrier
The Bushland Terrier is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Cairn Terrier and the Scottish Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

The place to find a splurge-worthy antique or vintage item–everything from campaign chests to vintage brass lamps.
I love Anthro's hardware options, as well as much of their tabletop items. Curtains, bedding, and decor can run a bit twee, but adorable in small doses.
Ballard Designs
For the traditional furniture lover with a smaller budget, Ballard delivers. Whenever I have a project that needs upholstery, Ballard is my first stop.
Well-edited bedding, tabletop, and home fragrances.
Burke Decor
Great selection of soft goods. Particularly fond of their Designers Guild collection.
I'd never shop an entire room from CB2, but their individual pieces and prices are fantastic. Acrylic tables, modern dining chairs, and graphic dishes round out some of my favorites from this affordable store.
C. Wonder
For adding commitment-free color to a room, the accessories at C. Wonder are superb. I love the bright lacquer boxes.
Dwell Studio
The Dwell Studio Draper rug is a classic in my mind, and now that they've expanded into furniture, Dwell has become an amazing resource for refined mid-century-inspired decor.
Jamie has a great eye for pattern, so Furbish is my first stop when on the hunt for great pillows.
Favorites at Horchow include their rug selection, lighting, and much of their upholstered furniture. Sales are frequent!
Jayson Home
Jayson Home is tres Brooklyn, which is silly because the brick and mortar is in Chicago. But when I imagine what a Brooklyn brownhouse interior should be, many, many pieces from this store pop into my head. Gorgeous.
Jonathan Adler
WASP chic on color steroids. Perfectly colorful accessories, great furniture collection–definitely one of my obsessions.
Great selection of stylish lighting, like the Robert Abbey collection.
One Kings Lane
One word: Tastemaker Tag sales. These are phenomenal. Their regular flash sales aren't shabby either; some recent ones were D. Porthault linens, Michelle Armas prints, and John Robshaw textiles.
Paris Apartment
Need lucite furniture legs? What about a giant lucite doorknob? Paris Apartment has your glamorously covered.
Rugs USA
On-trend rugs at affordable prices.
Serena and Lily
More than just a store for crib bedding, I love their rattan furniture pieces, bedding, and lighting.
Urban Outfitters
Trendy rugs and pillows, plus quirky lighting.
World Market
Amazingly affordable (and stylish) upholstered headboards, cute accent tables, and basically anything you'd need to inject a sense of travel into your space.

Why I Want to be Swedish
Lemondrop.com is reporting that Swedish-based consumer advocacy group Reklamombudsmannen (love the name…) made a claim against Toys 'R' Us for featuring "outdated gender roles" in their 2008 Christmas catalog.
It's baller that somebody did something about the ridiculously gender segregated toys in that store (and in many toy stores). But that's not even the best part.
Apparently, this claim originated from a Stockholm sixth-grade class's school project. As Lemondrop reports:
The class examined the toy catalog, which showed boys playing in "action-filled environments" as superheroes, while girls are shown "sitting or standing in passive poses" dressed up in princess costumes. The kids felt that the scenes reinforced a subjective idea of normal play, and filed a complaint against Toys 'R' Us for gender discrimination.
They argued that gender discrimination is potentially unhealthy (damn skippy) as it could make kids feel self-conscious if they wanted to play with a toy outside of their designated gender role, in addition to the last effects of this mindset. As one student, Moa Averin, said herself: "guys want to be princesses sometimes."
So, you mean to say, there exists a country that has government-funded universal health care, is one of the top 10 countries on the Human Development Index, and also promotes education about GENDER ROLES IN SCHOOL? Oh, it is love.
Sweden has basically got it going on, and this report completely affirms that. I want to be best friends with every kid involved in that report and give the teacher who (possibly) initiated it a great big hug.

I want to go to Sweden!! They've restricted advertising to children under 12. Excellent!! You get dental care for free!! It's close to Denmark!!! Yay, Sweden!!

Oh, Sweden. Such an awesome country.
Far too cold for me, though, and where I am right now isn't all that bad in terms of civil liberties, either.

I've felt like sweden was paradise on Earth ever since I watched the special features of Michael Moore's Sicko. Best universal health care system. Best country to raise kids. Highest percentage of women in government. Longest average life span. Most pro-sex country. The list never ends.
Could someone from Sweden give some perspective? It sounds to good to be true.
Emily @ at 8:03 pm, October 12th, 2009
As much as I would like to think universal health care would work, Sweden hasn't got it all together as we might think. Plus, Michael Moore is just as biased to present Sweden in a good light as any political activist, unfortunatly.
Check out this PDF I was reading the other day:
Other than that, I wish gender education was more widely accepted in America. This is such a great thing to hear that SIXTH GRADERS are speaking up.
Northern @ at 9:21 pm, October 12th, 2009
Sweden is just another quite oppressed and suppressed culture, as are the other northern european cultures. A lots of things going underneath, but not spoken. It's not a total paradise, but has advanced european cultural base.
"Most pro-sex country."
– as seen from the surface
no matter, there the religious overlay is not as heavy as in southern parts of europe.
And this one you don't want to believe: but they Are Conservatives…

Hoorah for Sweden! This is so impressive. I used to work for a toy store and flipping through their catalogues the gender roles presented were so obvious. Girl pages were pink and purple and boy pages blue and green. And by that I don't mean they had coloured backgrounds – the products and their packaging were always in those colours. I seriously dislike how heavily gender roles are imprinted on children. Kids like playing grown-up, that's fair enough, but… come on! Girls deserve better than this!
annie @ at 10:57 pm, October 14th, 2009
This is awesome! Most pro-sex is ALWAYS a good thing. I wonder what the demographics are there?
Valerie B. @ at 6:10 pm, November 6th, 2009
This is AMAZING!!!
My friends, unfortunately, don't undersatnd this article when I showed it to them and they'rte like , 'WTC?! Are they sposed to show gay lil boys playing w/barbies??' and they cracked up.
'No, they're supposed to show the toy and deascribe it, not identify which gender it has to be for.'
The only reason they say that is because that's the way they were raised in our society. Only girls can play with "girly" toys and only guys can play with "boyish" toys. Damn, I need to get me some more feminist friends.
Tommy Brunn @ at 5:34 am, December 2nd, 2009
I'm from Sweden, and I just found this article via StumbleUpon, and felt like I had to comment on it.
While many of the things you say are true, there's always a backside to everything. For example, yesterday a part of Sweden's military intelligence agency started to officially monitor all cable-bound communication passing through the Swedish borders. That means internet, telephone calls, text messages – everything! All this just to fight imaginary terrorists who apparently are dumb enough to plan their attacks via non-encrypted emails. Brilliant!
Also, one commenter mentioned free dental care. That's not exactly true. The year you turn 20, you have to start paying for dental care. So for kids it's free, which is great, since that's the age when you have to go through the really expensive treatments – like getting braces, for example. Even after you turn 20, dental care is subsidized, so you're still not paying for all of it. But it's not free.
Still, Sweden is for the most part a pretty nice country to live in – if you can ignore the fact that most politicians seem to be completely and utterly retarded, and blindly disregard the will of the people – as seen with the latest intrusions into our privacy (Research FRA and IPRED if you want to know more).
Brett @ at 5:59 am, December 2nd, 2009
Isn't it great that a private entity can be prevented by the government from printing a flyer because it does not conform with mores of the government?
What a wonderful society
Lania @ at 4:30 pm, January 1st, 2010
I'm liking this just as much as everyone else, and I'm already a Swede! Nice to see that us Swedes get some recognition online. ^__^

Women always look foolish when they pretend to be the same as men, they are really very different creatures from men. Not better or worse but way different.

text: i-lipo is a new revolutionary system that uses low level lasers (lipolaser) for fat reduction, and body shaping treatments. It creates a photobiomodulation effect, altering the cells chemistry and triggering a release of a lipase enzyme that can break down triglyceride molecules into fatty acids and glycerol molecules. This process now makes them small enough to exit through your prose and be used as fuel by your metabolism. Naturally, your lymphatic system carries the cell contents and removes them. Lipolaser maximizes the body's lymphatic flow through stimulation of the nodes in your treatment area. It is recommended to exercise following treatment in order to metabloize the newly released fatty acids and glycerol in order to completely remove them from your body's fat storage.

I don't know if this ever happens to other people, but sometimes I wake up with songs in my head from dreams I had the night before. Maybe I should write them down or sing them into a recorder, but a) they're generally very weird; and b) I am not Bono, and I'm OK with letting them disappear.
Anyway, last week American Elf cartoonist James Kochalka woke up with a video game in his head. He had invented the game in his dreams, and he still remembered enough of it to draw a comic about it.
This week, a fan actually made the game and sent it to Kochalka. You can only play it on a PC, and it's pretty basic, but it might be a fun time-waster if you're an American Elf fan. The artist describes his character as "a variation on Link from The Legend of Zelda." Ha.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I fell at work and injured myself. Unfortunately I could not go on disability because I need my job. So I fell in January and the next day I was off due to having our hours cut a year ago and was so stiff I went to a walk-in clinic. Took x-rays and said to follow up with an orthopedist. Still continuing to work but about 3 days later I woke up and was so stiff and in pain I could not go to work. Next day boss comes up and says if I'm going to continue to take time off (without pay no less) that I need to tell him so he can schedule the work. I told him I don't plan on taking time off as I need my job and I don't get paid to take off so I have to come to suck it up and just come to work. A month later I get laid off with 10 days to the end of the month so my health insurance runs out in only 10 days no less. I guess I have no legal recourse for this but how can he have so much work that he needs to schedule and then a month later I'm laid off due to supposed lack of work?
I did file a workmans comp claim. At the time I got laid off 19 but 2 other were let go same day as me. I worked there 6 years (would have been 7 in April) I worked 32 hours per week for the last year and 40 hours per week up until that time.
Sorry, the employer does not have enough employees to be subject to either the FMLA (federal) or the state equivalent. Therefore, your job was not protected. And even if they were subject and you WERE on FMLA leave, being on such leave does not protect you against employment actions that would have occurred anyway.
I was not on any kind of leave - I was actively employed.
You would have to show that you were "laid off" solely because you file a WC claim. It wouldn't hurt to run this past an employment law attorney.

quick way to lose wait
hey i was wondering if anyone had a routine trhat thye use to lose wait FAST, i would like to lose a little bit of wait before the end of the school year(june 5th) so that i can go serious during the summer when i have all the time in the world.
Thats not that fast. you got enough time. I was gunna say a sauna suit but you don't even need that.
Cut out fatty foods (I knw it's tough)
Cut out red meats (steak, ham, moo cow, horse, ect.) Eat lean chicken and turkey.(for lunches or dinner)
for breakfast eat whole grain cereals and fruit and veggies.
For lunch eat a good healthy meal with fruits and veggies.
all of this will lessen your calorie intake so when you workout and exercise you'll quickly get rid of those calories and then start losing muscle and fat.
Notice I said you do lose muscke. So part of you exercise should be weight lifting.
Yeah eat like 7 small meals a day.
Many small meals is good. But remember one to three of those meals may just be fresh fruit or veggies
Yeah thats what i ment. Thnx for clearing it up.:thumbsup:
Get a colonic! :laugh:
My ***** of a step mom would tell you to starve yourself and then once that didn't work, just purge after eating, just like she did! By then you will weigh under 95 lbs, just like she did! But honestly, don't starve, it's bad.

does bigger tires..?
does bigger tires change the angle of your driveshaft?
I dont see how thats possible
a lift will change your angle
I could be wrong.....it happens sometimes
Only moving your axle by means of suspension or moving the TC will change the angle.
ok thanks. in that case im not installing a sye. its riding fine right now.
Just keep an eye on it and pay attention for vibes. 4" is right at the grey area for needing one...
im at 5"... i do feel vibration when im at lights but im honestly not worried abt it braking. if it does..i'll beef it up
Your sig says 4" of suspension. Body lift will not effect your driveline angels at all.
it wont vibe at lights man
if you will have driveline vibes it happens when the jeep is in motion
most cases people will have vibes occur at certain speeds or full time
Vibes mean that your rear u-joint is at too much of an angle and the u-joint wants to bind up,causing heat,friction and vibes.I read about vibes cracking t-tcases.
do you have 5" total lift or 5" suspension lift?
or a 4" suspension and a 1" bodylift?
I suggest a motormount lift just in case,a motormount lift can reduce vibes by slightly decreasing the rear driveline angle
i have 4" suspension and 1" BL and a 1" motor mount lift. thanks yall helped me alot!
adjustable rear upper control arms help alot also
i plan on buying currie when i get 35s next year.

Talk to SAAD or SP about a tubular manifold. Talk to Kirk at HPF about a tubular mainifold. It would be nice that the installation is all part of HPF build so your tune is pure HPF. It really helps if you have any warranty issues. Stay with HPF as much as possible, but tell them what you really want.
That 6766 makes mad power on SUPRAS which have better flowing exhaust manis an better flowing intake tubes.
If it all gets too complicated, then just let HPF do their standard build (no sleeved block) and DRIVE your car. The chances are good you will be pretty darn happy. You can always fiddle with manifolds and intakes way down the line.
But run the idea past HPF and see what they can do for you with being too costly and time consuming. You can easily shelve that idea for much later if now does not seem like the time for all that.
Good Luck. And dont stress. I think HPF can make that 6766 do everything that you need. They are good guys who want to please. And they are very capable.
One more thing. i ALWAYS like a baseline Dyno run with NO air cleaner no matter what the vehicle. I do this with Motorcycles, cars, FI, NA, etc.
It gives you very good picture if your air filter is restrictive. I think Marcus was loosing 50 PLUS HP with his airfilter. He has a bigger build so the figure is going to be pretty high. But you get the idea. I recommend the AFE air filter that has a hollow center for even more surface area. If needed, that is. Changing air filter models or brands is often the cheapest way to pick up some significant power. You will never know unless you do that Dyno pull with no air filter.
I could be all wrong about needing a tubular manifold and better intake breathing. I am going on logic not much else. I would very much like Larry from SP to chime in here and comment. I trust his judgment. I will ask him nicely to participate.
I feel I was talking a bit freely with no real hard facts behind me. Larry is the guy that this thread needs now IMO. I emailed him.
It's the weekend...a long one at that. So, I dont know exactly when we will be hearing from Larry. When we do, listen!
+1 All very good advise.
I looked through the pics the OP put up. You would be doing a lot better spending the money upgrading those brakes. On the track, it's the equivalent of free horsepower; you get to delay braking til later in the approach to a corner.
On the street, the BBK would just looks awesome especially behind those wheels. Maybe Brembo or Stoptec?

Safety - messaging and meeting strangers
We take your safety very seriously at mysinglefriend and you should too. We make every effort to ensure mysinglefriend remains safe and we have one of the toughest joining processes of any dating site, with every profile being manually checked by a real person. You can help us by making sure you:
- Use your common sense
- Do not say where you work or live; keep your personal details personal!
- Do not become Facebook friends with someone you don't know (they can find out everything about you!), never date in your home (or anyone else's) and do not accept a lift. Watch your drink, plan your date in a public place and tell people where you are going and with whom.
- Are careful - contacting someone through this site gives you the opportunity to message or talk to someone before meeting them and plan your date SAFELY. You are responsible for your own safety, however we've prepared some guidelines for you...
You can also confidentially report any profiles that you think are inappropriate, or if someone's behaviour is inappropriate/strange/rude when messaging. Each profile has a 'Report inappropriate profile' link next to it - click on this and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
At first:
Use only the messaging system at mysinglefriend - it's safe, recorded, and it doesn't give out your personal details. Don't put personal details in your profile or in your messages (your phone number, your email address, your address etc).
When you pursue a date:
You'll need to share some contact information at some point. Create and use a free email account like Gmail or Yahoo for emails (and don't use your full name in the email address!), use a mobile phone number that you can easily change, if you can't simply block your number from appearing on someone else's phone.
Do not continue correspondence if you suspect someone is:
- Being dishonest with you.
- Trying to pressurise you into a date, or find out your personal info.
- Ignoring your questions.
- Inconsistent with their information (look back through your correspondence with them to check).
And then... the date:
- Try to organise a double date - even better go out with a group of friends.
- Meet in a public place that you know. Don't let yourself be anywhere where there is no-one to call on, if a room starts to empty, move to where there are plenty of people around you.
- Do not arrange to be picked up or taken home by your date, make your own travel arrangements.
- Tell a trusted friend about your date: pass them the information you have about the person you are meeting, ask them to be available in case you need some support. Tell them where you are going, how long you expect to be, call them during the date, and when you have arrived back home alone safely.
- Take a mobile phone with you (fully charged and with credit)
- Stay in control and trust your instincts; don't worry about seeming impolite or overly cautious, anyone worth dating will understand. If you are asked to do something you don't want to do say no and be forceful with your statement.
- Keep an eye on your drink.
TELL US if you have met someone who seems to be dishonest, or someone who made you feel uncomfortable.
Report any problems you may have had by clicking here! or send an email to email@example.com
And lastly - you've had a few dates? USE A CONDOM!
Go slow - be honest - tell us if you feel uneasy!
Scammers in Internet Dating.
Internet dating is a great way to meet new people and here at MSF, we do everything we can to make sure the people you meet through our site are genuine and lovely, just like you! Unfortunately Internet dating as a whole has experienced some occasions where there have been attempts to use dating sites as a platform to carry out scams. Here at MSF we have VERY strict vetting procedures to ensure that everybody who joins is genuine, so it's highly unlikely that you'll ever come across anybody like this on our site. However, we wouldn't be doing our job properly if we didn't make you aware of the possible risks and what to do if you come across a profile which you suspect isn't genuine.
What to look out for:
Maybe they have a photo so stunning and well-shot that it looks like it's been nabbed from a catalogue. Perhaps they have a fantastic description which makes them seem like the date you've always been looking for, but doesn't actually give any specific details about their lives and then once you're chatting to them, they profess their undying love after just two messages. Maybe they go on to tell you how their last partner, or even child (these people have no qualms about how to tug on your heart strings) died in a tragic accident. Then as the conversation continues, they ask you for money. Perhaps they were abroad, got mugged and now have no money to return home. Or maybe they have a fool-proof business idea that they would love you to invest in or even a sickly relative whose treatment they can't afford to pay for…
The number one rule (not just in internet dating but online in general) is:
And number two:
What to do if you suspect someone is a scammer:
It's very important to us that the site remains one big, happy community, so we don't tolerate any monkey business from scammers.
If you have any doubts at all about a profile you've seen or about someone who you are in touch with, let us know right away and we'll get the MSF dating police to check it out. Email us at email@example.com, giving us as much detail as possible and we will look into it for you.

Set up now for winter
There is nothing better than bragging to gardening friends about how you picked your own homegrown lettuce in the middle of January. Though it doesn't seem possible, it's easier than you might think, even here in Western Pennsylvania.
You'll need a few things, though, to keep your salad bowl full through the winter and now is the time to get yourself set up for it. Start by selecting a site for your winter garden — one that is unimpeded by tree roots and in full sun. Each fall, I convert one of my existing vegetable garden beds into my winter-greens garden. I suggest a 4-by-6-foot or 6-by-6-foot area.
Then, build a cold frame by following these simple steps. In it, you can plant lettuce, tat soi, radish, kale and other greens through the rest of this fall and into the early winter.
1. Dig a 12-inch-deep hole that covers the entire area. Put the soil that comes out of the hole onto a tarp or into a wheelbarrow until you are ready to use it.
2. Line the inside of the hole with a row of cement blocks and then stack another row on top, essentially building the exterior "walls" of your mini-greenhouse. If you don't have cement blocks, you can use bales of straw for the walls, too.
3. Using wood or PVC piping, construct a central roof-line support across the middle of the frame so that the peak sits just above the top cement block. An even-smarter idea is to angle the bed 30 degrees from back to front and be sure the slant is south-facing to maximize sun exposure during the winter.
4. Shovel 6 to 8 inches of horse, poultry or cow manure into the hole and then cover it with the soil on the tarp so that it's level with the outside soil surface (the layer of decomposing manure serves to help heat the cold frame through the winter).
5. Use old storm windows or double-paned acrylic sheeting to build your "roof" by propping it between the roof support and the cement blocks. It should slant down to the edge from the center support. Remember to remove or vent the "roof" on very warm days and replace the manure each fall before planting your crops. Cold frames also are a terrific way to get a jump start on spring growing.
If you aren't interested in building your own cold frame, you can purchase kits through several different gardening websites. Many of them easily construct with just a few common tools and will last for many years.

The Energy Report - Summer Fuels Make Me Feel Fine!
The Energy Information Agency came out with its much anticipated never duplicated Summer Fuels Outlook and it was a market mover. Well not perhaps for the summer fuels so much, but what we really consider a winter fuel, the natural gas market. Of course if prices continue to fall it won't just be winter any more.
The EIA dramatically lowered their second-quarter average Henry Hub spot price prediction by 28.9% to $2.20 per million BTU's. That is down from last month's $3.10 prediction. With the possibility of a dramatic price drop like that, one might expect that this could lower production expatiations as well. Well don't bet on it! The shale gas revolution continues to rewrite the rules as we head towards an unprecedented glut of supply. The EIA instead raised its second-quarter production forecast 2.5%, to 65.86 billion cubic feet per day from last month's estimate of 64.23 BCF and they are also raising their average daily production rate to 65.77 BCF which is a 1.9% increase from their last projection of 64.52 BCF.
Which continues to raise the question I have asked before, where are we going to put it? It seems we are headed for full storage and unless we see an incredible uptick in demand due to a scorching hot summer, we are going to see a crisis in this market. With no storage available the most likely outlook is for a major price collapse to force a production decline. That may l not happen at $2.00 but it may happen at $1.00.
The EIA also said that they expect electricity generation from coal to decline by about 10 percent in 2012 as generation from natural gas increases by about 17 percent. EIA forecasts that electricity generation from coal will increase by about 7 percent and generation from natural gas to fall by 3 percent in 2013 as projected coal prices to the power sector fall slightly while natural gas prices increase, allowing coal to regain some of its power sector generation share. Still not enough to change the wildly bearish natural gas outlook.
The traditional summer fuel blend that we use to think of was gasoline yet the EIA says they expect that demand in the US will continue to be weak. The EIA says that it expects that regular-grade gasoline retail prices, which averaged $3.71 per gallon last summer, will average $3.95 per gallon during the current summer (April through September) driving season, a year-over year increase of 6.3 percent. The projected monthly average regular retail gasoline price peaks this summer at $4.01 per gallon in May. Diesel fuel prices, which averaged $3.94 per gallon last summer, are projected to average $4.21 per gallon this summer, with monthly prices peaking at $4.25 per gallon in the middle of the driving season. Daily and weekly national average prices can differ significantly from monthly and seasonal averages, and there are also significant differences across regions, with monthly average prices in some areas exceeding the national average price by 25 cents per gallon or more.
The high price is killing demand as well as the changing US demand patterns and we are demanding more fuel efficiency. MasterCard Spending Pulse reported that US gasoline demand was down on the week and has fallen 2.4% year over year. They said that gas demand fell 68,000 bpd or 0.8% to 8.799 million bpd during the week-ended April 6, marking a decrease of 2.4% versus the comparable year-ago period, according to data.
The API added to the Fun reporting a whopper of a crude build to the tune of 6.6 million barrels. Hey, I told you that oil would eventually show up in the Gulf Coast. The API reported a crude build of 6.6 million barrels. For gasoline we saw an increase of 1.2 million barrels and for distillates a drop of 476,000 barrels.
A major earthquake near Indonesia at this point does not seem to be moving the market. Stay tuned!

The sudden resignation of Ali Larijani as Iran's front man in dealing with nuclear development has threatened to become a setback in efforts to achieve agreement between the UN and Iran. Larijani was a political opponent of President Ahmadinejad of Iran and more flexible in seeking resolution of the nuclear issues, but his replacement, Ali Jaill is a reputed hard liner. However, in a move to reassure Europeans there will be no changes in Iran's policies, Ahmadinejad agreed to allow Larijani to meet with European Union representatives today. The European Union is offering Iran economic and technological incentives to suspend its uranium enrichment program. The situation was not helped by Vice President Dick Cheney's weekend comment claiming Iran was a "growing obstacle to peace in the Middle East" and warned of consequences if it didn't end its nuclear program.
The situation is tense between the European Union and Iran and in the middle of negotiations our vice president must intrude with further threats toward Iran. Dick Cheney never ceased making threats about Saddam and the need to do something in Iraq. His jingoism and warlike attitude are well known in the Middle East so when Cheney threatens "consequences" it can only result in Iranian hard liners digging even deeper into their resolve not to compromise. If President Bush really cared for Middle East peace, he would take the first step in that direction by muzzling his good friend.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I seel sorry for your situation... unfortunately - there is very little I may help...
First of all if your employer doesn't want to treat you as a statutory employee - whatever the reason is - there is nothing you may do to force your boss. And you may not claim to the IRS that you are a statutory employee if your company did not treat you so.
I would rather agree with the attorney who stated - your employer should simply set an accountable plan and reimburse you with all expenses and reduce your W-2 wages by that amount - that would be the simplest solution to satisfy everyone. You might like or not that attorney - but whatever were said - seems very reasonable.
Unfortunately - I was not able to any references in additional to those provided.
But as your boss disagrees - those references would not help and you might concentrated to looking for additional deductions.
For instance - as your company doesn't provide you with the workspace - you may have home office deductions in additional to the office (that you pay - not your employer!)
If you would be able to deduct a home -office - any travel between your home and office would be business travel, etc...
Consult with your tax preparer - what else may be taken as deductions...
Lev, thanks for replying. Are you saying, that I need to come up with more deductions to offset the 2% rule?
It is never a bad idea to verify any overlooked deductions.
But in case of audit and facing possible penalties - that is the best approach.
It doesn't mean "to make up" deduction, but to evaluate your situation and see if you accidentally overlooked to deduct some legitimate business expenses..
Even you would not able to avoid additional taxable income - you might be able to reduce it.
As you were not able to convince your employer neither treat you as a statutory employee nor provide you with reimbursements for job related expenses - there is nothing you may do to force your boss.
Can you verify - what is the situation in other companies? You might know folks who are working in the same field but for different companies...

Facebook announces new security features in honor of Data Privacy Day 2011
Jan 28, 2011 12:06pm
By Michael Kaiser, NCSA Executive Director
This will be the first in occasional posts about the value of "baking in security" to our everyday Internet experience.
At NCSA we have always framed cybersecurity as a combination of tools and behavior. We advocate for users to do the most they can to take control of their online lives and stay safe online. We also like to point out when web service providers, and by this we mean a broad spectrum of websites, services, and places people interact online, lead the way by integrating new security methods and technologies to make their services and thereby the entire Internet safer.
In honor of Data Privacy Day 2011, Facebook announced two new security features. One brings a common and well known feature to Facebook and another should help evolve all our thinking about security.
What does that mean?
When you see https in a web address such as https://www.yourfavoritewebsite.xyz it indicates you are using a secure connection with that website. When using https you may have noticed a small "lock" icon appear in your address bar, or that the address bar has turned green (depending on your browser). If you want to use this added security you will need to go to your account settings page and click a box under account security. By the way, while you are there you will see a box that allows you to receive an email when a new computer is used to access your account. This is also a good security feature to consider. If someone tries to access your account from a new computer (and this could be you if you are logging on via a computer of mobile device you don't normally use), Facebook will notify you. Facebook has a video on these features
The second feature and the one that really demonstrates the concept of baking it in is "social authentication." Authentication is the way you prove who you are. In most cases on most websites, that means providing a logon and password. In some cases, you may be asked to repeat the letters of phrase you see in a box to continue what you are doing known as a captcha box. And while this does add a level of security, this type of authentication is really designed to prevent machines from say registering millions of email address or sending millions of other kinds of requests. More secure authentication asks you to provide something known to you that's unlikely to be known by anyone else that proves you are who you say you are. The "social authentication" on Facebook will show you a few pictures of your friends and ask you to name the person in those photos. Now if you given your password and log on to anyone who knows you and your friends this won't make you anymore secure. Since we are assuming you wouldn't ever do that, you can see how this would make it difficult for a hacker to overcome this obstacle and access your account. It's a way to protect yourself without learning anything new or technical. This feature is being rolled out as a test and it's not clear when you will be asked to "socially authenticate." Still getting users comfortable with new authentication techniques meets our definition of "baking it in."
For further information on https and to see what "social authentication" looks like, see the announcement post on Facebook
These two efforts by Fcebook to "bake it in" are exactly what we need others to embrace as well.

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Dear mosese,
Child support may not be garnished. Is someone trying to do that?
Dear moses,
This is legal. There is a difference from garishing bank accounts and garnishing child support. They are levying your bank accounts, and that does not distinguish immediately the difference between chlid support or not.
You will have to get a temporary injucitinon agains the levy, and petition the court ot intervene, be proving the money is child support and not earned income. The court can apportion the levy.
Unfortunately, it will take an attorney to be successful.

Fairytale Brownies is one of the featured companies under the "SWEET TREAT" category. It is a pretty fun and light article to read.

Bloomberg to Push Immigration Reform in Chicago, Boston
Mayor Michael Bloomberg will travel to Boston and Chicago this week to push immigration reform in the cities where the presidential campaigns are based.
The mayor said that his goal, in part, was to remind President Barack Obama and GOP presidential hopeful and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney of the policies they once supported.
"Remember, both of these candidates had positions on immigration, guns, health care and that sort of thing before they became presidential candidates," Bloomberg said. "And I personally would like to draw a connection about what they said before and why is it different now."
Bloomberg is a long-time supporter of new visas for entrepreneurs who are ready to invest capital in the U.S. and create jobs. He also supports more temporary and permanent visas for high skilled workers, and of guest worker programs for agriculture and other sectors. He's been particularly vocal about the need to give green cards to foreign-born graduates of American universities in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
The mayor's chief policy adviser, John Feinblatt, said the Mayor would like to see between now and the elections in November a compromise be reached on the reform in the STEM field that would result in a deal in Congress.
The mayor will be in both cities on Tuesday. He will appear with former Obama White House chief of staff William Daley in Chicago and with News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch in Boston.

The classic cluster ring is updated with a new name…the halo ring. No wonder as the surround of sparkling diamonds, twelve (12) brilliant cuts of a total estimated 1.8 carats (H-I color; SI2-3 clarity) emanates an ethereal other worldly glow.
However, the main attraction most certainly places that grouping in a secondary position. An oval faceted natural topaz of an estimated 3.65 carats fills the room with its warm golden amber yellow coloration. The mounting is 18k yellow gold with the diamonds set in 18k white gold. Such a pairing of gems brings the light of a full moon in conjunction with the dawning of a new day and the glorious rise of the life-giving sun.
Date: Circa 1980.
Comes with a full appraisal for your peace of mind and insurance purposes.

Some move hands while speaking, I keep mind steady. Steady Freddie is my name.
I wonder if people wear wedding rings in heaven.
Age leads chins to withdraw into face.
Some play with gadgets, I play with life.
I frequently gaze in mirror wondering who is that old fart?
Some do for tomorrow, I do for today.

When I was young, I dreamt of marrying into an Italian family. My mother-in-law would be a kind, plump Italian woman who loved to cook. Our family would gather around the antique wooden dining table and feast on her homemade pasta, sipping red wine and arguing loudly using lots of hand gestures while Puccini opera played in the background.
It is possible I watched too many movies as a child...
I didn't marry an Italian, but my love affair with Italian food continues, so I was eager to try the new casual Italian dining restaurant, Limoncello, in Suria KLCC. Owned by the same group as Weissbrau and Spasso Milano in Pavilion, Limoncello will soon be joined by its fine-dining sister restaurant, Svago which is set to open just upstairs.
Situated water-side just beyond Starbucks, Limoncello offers a break from the hustle-bustle of the mall while offering a view of the fountains which, when I visited, were lit up and dancing colorfully in the dinnertime dusk. The bright green pillows and tiles at the service counter and even the lime-green menus give a cheery pop to the airy and relaxed atmosphere.
With two menus to choose from - the Svago snacks menu and the Limoncello main menu - diners have a good variety of dishes at a wide range of price points. Service was attentive and the food service was reasonably quick.
Our tasting began with the Pizza Bianco Con Le Patate – a wood-fired white pizza with potatoes (RM26.80). Carbohydrate redundancy aside, it went down really well with my bottle of sweet Sommersby hard cider.
The Arancini di Riso (RM14.80), fried risotto balls, were bite-sized pieces of heaven - crispy on the outside and creamy/cheesy on the inside, set atop a thin layer of tangy red sauce. Yummy! We also tasted the Bruschetta di Boccaldo - tasty mushroom and cheese-topped bruschetta (RM18.80) and Isalata di Pasta (RM 24.80). Both were agreeable and the salad, which includes tuna and crab sticks, is hefty enough to serve as a light main dish. Salads on other tables looked of ample size as well.
If you're like me and like to scrape the pan of the risotto for the crispy bits when you make it at home, you'll love the pan fried risotto with prawns "Risotto al Salto con Gamberoni" (RM36.80). It's crusty genius in every bite of this flattened pancake of risotto!
Limoncello's main dishes are nicely varied and well portioned, enough to leave the diner satisfied, but not so much you need to take home leftovers. The Piccata di Manzo was on the more expensive side (RM62.80) but was superb. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, combining well with the crisp greens and the light lemon sauce.
Italian staples were also well received including Pasta al Pomodoro con Polpettine (spaghetti and meatballs) (RM28.80) and Melanzane Alla Parmigiana (eggplant parmesan). Monica loved the eggplant parmesan and I can't wait to bring my kids back so they can discover what real spaghetti tastes like (apparently boiling dried noodles into oblivion like I do at home isn't it!)
Dessert included Crostata al Limone (RM18.80), a lemon tart which I would probably pass on next time, only because the crust was a bit pasty for my taste. The large plate of Botta di Banana (RM18.80) - banana crepes - on the other hand, was moist and sweet and we made short work of them despite our stuffed bellies.
For a place called Limoncello one would think you would find the Italian liqueur on the printed menu. It isn't there, but it is available if you ask for it. We tried the digestif, homemade by the restaurant's manager. What a treat! It was sweet and smooth and delicious. Alternatively, try the Grappa, also traditionally served after dinner in Italy to aid digestion of heavy meals. It was strong and warm, tingling all the way down deep into the belly.
On a subsequent visit to Limoncello this past weekend with friends, I was a little nervous about making our after-dinner movie in time. Sometimes new restaurants can be a little slow as the kitchen works out the kinks. But I needn't have worried. The service was consistently attentive and the food was quick enough that we still had time to peruse the mall after paying the bill. I reordered several of the dishes and found them as equally appetizing as the first visit. The Ravioli di Manza my husband ordered deserves special mention as being outstanding. The portion was rather small for the price, but the perfectly al dente ravioli in olive oil was rich and delicious.
Reason to Visit: Upscale casual Italian in a relaxed and cheery setting, perfect for both relaxing after a day at the park or a pre-movie dinner date.
