text: After UPS consolidated many of the human resource functions into regions, our UPS employees are no longer getting FMLA requests approved in a timely manner. One of our employees has waited over six weeks and still not received a response to his FMLA request. What formerly took one day, now stretches into months because all of the FMLA paper work is no longer processed in-house, but sent across many state lines. I searched the Dept. of Labor web site to find out how long UPS is supposed to take to process FMLA requests. The answer is that by Federal law UPS must notify the employee of the employee's eligibility to take FMLA leave within five business days, absent extenuating circumstances. If anyone is having trouble getting UPS to respond to a request for FMLA leave, be sure to remind the employer of its notice requirements: Title 29: Labor Part 825 - The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 § 825.300 Employer notice requirements. 4. b) Eligibility notice . (1) When an employee requests FMLA leave, or when the employer acquires knowledge that an employee's leave may be for an FMLA-qualifying reason, the employer must notify the employee of the employee's eligibility to take FMLA leave within five business days, absent extenuating circumstances. See §825.110 for definition of an eligible employee. Employee eligibility is determined (and notice must be provided) at the commencement of the first instance of leave for each FMLA-qualifying reason in the applicable 12-month period ( see §§825.127(c) and 825.200(b)). All FMLA absences for the same qualifying reason are considered a single leave and employee eligibility as to that reason for leave does not change during the applicable 12-month period.

What size barrels are available?
2 Litre, 5 Litre, 10 Litre, 20 Litre and 50 Litre. Our barrels are individually hand crafted using traditional methods therefore each barrel is unique. The volume of each barrel may vary by +/1 10% depending of the thickness of the wooden staves.
How do I clean my barrel?
Your barrel will require routine cleaning. When aging hard spirits such as whiskey, rum or tequila, clean the barrel after two or three batches (or every 1 to 2 years). For wine, cider, liquor or other low alcohol content spirits, clean after each batch as follows:-
- Fill the barrel with a cleaning solution and soak for 24 hours. Empty and rinse 3 times with hot water. See your local home brew retailer for cleaning tablets.
- Dissolve Neutralizing Acid into warm water. Fill the barrel with this neutralizing solution and soak for 15 minutes. Empty and rinse the barrel 3 times with hot water. See your local home brew retailer for Neutralizing acid.
- To re-char the barrel interior, drain the barrel for 3 hours. Place a butane torch in the bung and spigot hole and re-char the inside.
- When storing the barrel or prior to re-use, dissolve the 2 sterilizing tablets in 1 gallon of cool water. Fill the barrel with the solution. Swish around for a few minutes and rinse 3 times with hot water.
To prevent the barrel from drying out and minimize the possibility of contamination, barrels should always be stored full with spirits or sterilizing solution. Barrels should be cleaned after every 2 or 3 aging batches or when changing from spirit types.
How long should spirits be aged?
There's no formula for the perfect time to age your spirits. We suggest you taste your spirits every week and once aged to YOUR taste, start drinking or move it to a glass bottle to stop the aging process. For wine and beer aging we suggest a airlock/bung combination. See your local home brew retailer. Due to the greater surface or contact area ratio Smaller barrels age the spirit faster than the larger barrels, small size barrels will age 5 to 10 times faster than your standard 55 gallon barrel. These means that one month in a small barrel will produce the equivalent aging to 1 to 1 1/2 years in a full size barrel.
How do I best maintain my barrel?
Barrels are best stored in a cool damp environment, this will keep the exterior from drying out and minimize evaporation. In the event that you have allowed your barrel to dry out you should attempt to re-cure the barrel. If it continues leaking, submerge the barrel in water for a couple of days. After it's been submerged, dry the exterior with a towel and fill it with water to see if it continues to leak. If so, find the leak and apply barrel wax to the hole… If you can't stop the leaking… cut in half and use as a planter! With proper care, you can use your barrel for 8 to 10 years. Following the cleaning and re-charring instructions will insure a long life for your product and be sure to not let your barrel dry out.
How are the barrels made?
Our barrels are made from premium quality American White Oak. The staves are air dried for two years and all barrels have a medium char. Our barrels are all hand crafted with no use of glues or nails, therefore barrel "curing" is required prior to use. This process serves two functions:
- Allows the barrel to swell and prevent leaking
- Limits the amount of alcohol absorbed by the barrel. Start by placing the appropriate number of storing tablets in the barrel and filling the barrel with boiling or hot water. Allow it to soak for 3 to 5 days. This allows the barrel to swell tightly against the hoops and ensure that the barrel doesn't leak .Water may leak from between the staves or at the barrel head seam. This is normal and will stop within 24 hours as the wood swells. Barrels that do not leak should still be cured for 3 to 5 days. This will minimize the amount of alcohol absorbed by the barrel staves. After curing the barrel, empty the solution and rinse with hot water 3 times. Now fill the barrel with your spirits and place the bung in tightly…Enjoy!

This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 10/870,500 filed Jun. 17, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The inventor herein has previously invented multiple designs for self-laminating wristbands principally for use with patients in a medical or hospital setting. Examples of these may be found in his previously-issued U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,933,993; 6,000,160; 6,067,739; 6,438,881; 6,510,634; and 6,685,228 along with other patent applications pending for further designs, improvements, and inventive techniques and methods relating thereto, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Included among these various inventions and designs are self-laminating wristbands intended for use with newborn babies including those delivered prematurely. As is well known, these babies and especially premature babies have extremely sensitive skin in many instances so that any wristband or other object placed around the baby's wrist or ankle must carefully allow for that sensitivity. Furthermore, babies are well known to move their arms and legs in a herky-jerky or flailing fashion, rub their eyes, and otherwise move about as they experience the new world that they have entered. In many instances, these newborn babies can become agitated and cry which can have a tendency to accentuate or intensify their arm and leg movements. Of course, as their hands, arms and legs move, they come in contact with other sensitive areas, such as, for example, their face, which could in some instances become scratched and in rare instances even injure the baby.
The inventor's previous designs include wristbands intended for these smaller babies including babies which might even be in intensive care and various features are provided to greatly minimize any possibility of discomfort, rash, or other injury to occur. Nevertheless, despite the great commercial success and widespread adoption and use of the inventor's wristband inventions, which have provided a significantly safer wristband for use with these babies, the inventor has continued his efforts to improve upon these designs even further so as to completely eliminate even the slightest possible chance of irritation or injury to the baby.
As a result of his continuing efforts, the inventor herein has succeeded in designing and developing a cushioned wristband which makes it virtually impossible for a baby, or indeed any patient, who wears this wristband to experience a rash, discomfort, or even any injury as a result of the patient's boisterous conduct. In simple terms, this latest invention of a cushioned wristband includes a cushioned carrier for extending around the patient's wrist or ankle with a fastening strap preferably sewn to and extending from one side thereof. The strap preferably has one surface covered with Velcro™ hook-type fastener material while the carrier has a surface covered with Velcro™ loop material. The opposite surface of the carrier which comes into contact with the patient's skin is preferably any hypoallergenic, soft, cushioning material. The strap is preferably sized to thread through a self-laminating tag which may be processed through a laser printer and is similar in construction to many of the inventor's previous wristband designs. In essence, this self-laminating tag preferably comprises an imaging area of face stock material and an underlying self-laminating portion approximately twice the size of the imaging area with cinch slots preferably positioned in the lamination and preferably on either side of the imaging area. While the strap passing through the cinch slots comprises the primary means for securing the label to the strap and thus the wristband, an adhesive patch on the top of the strap, or alternatively on the back of the id tag or both, stabilizes the id tag in relative position to the strap by closely adhering it to the back of the strap. Without the patch of adhesive, the id tag could shift around on the strap or bunch or kink, due to what might be a small circumference of a patient's wrist around which the id tag must wrap or the continued use of the wristband which exposes it to the thrashing about that a patient may do, or due to other reasons. This is particularly so with baby patients who have small wrists and a tendency to thrash about. As the patch of adhesive merely functions to "affix" or "position" the id tag with respect to the strap/carrier, means other than a layer of adhesive is contemplated for use herein. For example, a hook/loop fixative could be used, arranged in a myriad of ways, and used to fixate the id tag to either or both of the strap and cushioned carrier. One such way would be to merely affix a patch of hook material to the back of the id tag so that after it is slipped onto the strap and the strap is wrapped about the cushioned carrier, not only the strap hook surface but also the hook surface of the id tag would come into contact with the loop material on the back of the cushioned carrier thereby fixating it in place flat against the strap/cushioned carrier.
In use, the tag may be processed through a laser printer for printing with the patient's name, doctor's name, a barcode identifier, date of admission, and any other information as desired. The tag may then be separated from a sheetlet sized or page sized or other conveniently sized business form, the lamination folded over to self laminate the tag, and then applied to the carrier by inserting the strap through one of the cinch slots, removing the protecting covering of the adhesive to expose an underlying surface of adhesive, pressing the tag against the adhesive to adhere and thereby closely position it, and inserting the strap through the second slot. Once fully assembled, the wristband may then be wrapped around the baby's wrist and the strap affixed to the back of the carrier by joining the hook and loop material of a Velcro™ fastener to thus secure the wristband to the baby. Preferably, the wristband is sized to allow for the cushioning material to wrap entirely around the baby's wrist, ankle, etc., and preferably overlap so that just the cushioning material contacts the baby's skin.
A somewhat similar prior art device is shown in
There are many new features and advantages provided by the present invention. Some of these include the following. The self-laminating tag may be conveniently provided on a sheetlet or full-page size form for convenient processing through a laser printer at the time of admission along with other forms including other wristbands and labels as may be later used for the baby. Or, a laminating id tag portion of a full wristband may have its strap cut off to harvest it for use with the cushioning band. Thus, the advantages as noted in the inventor's prior patents are carried forward with this invention in that regard. The self-laminating tag may be firmly secured either loosely or closely about the baby's wrist or ankle with only a cushioning material contacting the baby's skin to thereby provide reliable identification with a durable tag yet without any discomfort to the baby. The carrier is adjustable as it can be wrapped around itself to provide a variable length so that it may be used with patients of different size or age. In other words, the wristband carrier is sized and arranged with its hook and loop fastener to be adjustable in length and fit either loosely or tightly to the patient's appendage. The hang tag may be attached with either one or both of the cinch slots, as desired. If attached with a single cinch slot, the tag in essence is free to move with respect to the wristband and thereby be more readily accessible and remain flat for easier bar code scanning. If attached with the strap extending through both slots, the tag may be secured more tightly against the strap/carrier and adhered with the adhesive patch, be reliably positioned along the length of the strap/carrier, be less likely to kink or bunch up away from the strap/carrier, be less subject to inadvertent detachment, and be less likely to be inadvertently brought into contact with the baby. More specifically, the adhesive patch provides the advantage of closely adhering the length of the id tag to the cushioned band, thereby minimizing any tendency of the id tag to "kink" or buckle to form sharp corners or separate from the band and be available to possibly injure the baby as he/she thrashes about, as babies commonly do. The patch also serves to reliably position the id tag along the length of the strap so that it doesn't slide around. These advantages makes it easier to read any information printed on the label as the wristband is used and would otherwise tend to experience wear and tear or mis-alignment.
The wristband is relatively inexpensive yet durable and flexible in that, should a tag be desired to be changed as a result of heavy abuse, it may be conveniently done without reprocessing through a printer or the like in many instances as additional tags may be conveniently printed at the time of admission. By being self laminating, the tag is protected from the various bodily fluids likely for it to come in contact with as the baby is fed or administered medicine orally, the baby drools, and the baby otherwise performs its bodily functions. If used as a hang tag, it is more readily detachable, and the carrier may be reused as desired such as in shortage or emergency situations thereby making the entire wristband system more flexible. Indeed, the carrier may itself be washed and re-used in that same regard. The hang tag may be provided as part of a larger assemblage of wristband forms such that a single set of forms may be preprinted and available for usage as the baby's stay progresses and even to accommodate those relatively small percentage of occasions when the baby is kept for an extended stay.
While the principal advantages and features of the invention have been briefly described above, a more thorough understanding and appreciation for the invention and its advantages may be obtained by referring to the drawings and description of the preferred embodiment which follow.
As shown in
The carrier 44 is shown in
As shown in the preferred embodiment, the strap portion may be preferably sewn on to the end of the carrier or band portion 46 and be approximately 3 inches long by ⅜ inches wide. Alternatively, the strap portion may be attached to the band portion 46 by either an adhesive or heat weld method, or other method as known in the art. The hang tag cinch slots 43 are sized appropriately to receive and pass the strap portion 48 therethrough and allow an end of the strap portion 48 to extend beyond the second cinch slot 43 for exposure to the loop portion 50.
In use, the hang tags in the form of a sheetlet or page sized form are conveniently processed through a laser printer or the like at which time the patient's name or other identifying information is applied to the imaging area. A hang tag may then be separated from the sheetlet or page sized form, and the carrier strap inserted through one or both of the cinch slots. As shown in
As shown in
An improvement to the basic design of the cushioned wristband is depicted in
There are variations of this arrangement for the adhesive patch and peelable label covering which fall within the teachings of the present invention. For example, other kinds of fasteners could be substituted for the adhesive patch including even a hook and loop arrangement. The id tag could itself include a patch of adhesive arranged in its back surface, even include a removable layer of laminate or the like to protect the adhesive until its desired exposure for use. This arrangement for the id tag could be designed into the business form from which the id tag is separated. A separate adhesive or attachment arrangement might be employed, such as a double sided adhesive patch, which could be separate from the strap or id tag, and which could be applied before assembling the id tag and strap. Still other arrangements could be thought of, as would be apparent to those of skill in the art, given the inventor's teachings as disclosed herein. The principal design feature of the adhesive patch is to secure the id tag and along a length thereof to the strap to more completely secure it so that it remains in position and flatter against the strap as the wristband is worn.
In use, the hang tag or id tag is first prepared by separating it from the carrier sheet and laminating it in the manner described above and in the prior patents referenced herein. The strap portion is then inserted through one of the cinch slots in a downward direction so that the strap extends beneath the imaged area of the id tag. The peel off label is then removed from the adhesive patch, the strap is inserted up through the second slot and the id tag is firmly adhered to the strap by pressing it against the adhesive patch. The cushioned wristband may then be attached to a baby's wrist, leg or ankle as described above. Alternately, as with the parent invention, the strap may be inserted through only one slot in the id tag so that the id tag has one end loose end. In that instance, the adhesive patch is not used and instead remains in place for later use, as desired.
The invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment as shown in the drawings and described above. However, the invention should not be considered as limited to the specifics of this preferred embodiment as various changes and alternatives to the specific disclosure would be apparent to those of skill in the art and are included within the teaching of the invention. For example, various kinds of materials may be used for the band portion of the carrier, various dimensions and lengths can be chosen as convenient for the various portions of the carrier such as the band and the strap, the strap may be secured to the band portion by any convenient attachment means including a hook-and-loop fastener, snap, adhesive, heat welding, etc., the hang tag could be preprinted with information desired to be included, such as special precaution conditions or other warnings or indications relating to the medical condition or treatment of the patient, a cinch slot could be provided on only one side of the hang tag instead of both sides or moved to different areas on the hang tag, a wristband could function as a hang tag by cutting off the strap portion, and other similar changes. Furthermore, although explained as intended for principal use for baby patients, the wristband of the present invention may also be used for any patient for increased comfort and reduced risk of abrasion, rash, or unintentional injury for those patients with skin integrity issues such as burn victims, elderly patients, etc. If desired for use with adults or larger patients, the dimensions of the various parts of the cushioned wristband would be appropriately adjusted as would be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, given the inventor's teaching contained herein. Although the invention has been disclosed in its preferred embodiment as comprising a patch of adhesive, alternate means for attaching the id tag to the strap, or cushioned carrier, are within the scope of the present invention. For example, a patch of a hook fastener material may be attached to the back of the laminated label and adhere to the loop material forming the back of the cushioned carrier as the strap is wrapped about the wrist during application of the wristband to a patient. This arrangement would attach the label directly to the cushioned carrier instead of the strap, or to both depending on the particular arrangement chosen and if the strap had a layer of loop material applied to its back. As such, the present invention should only be considered as limited by the scope of the claims appended hereto and their legal equivalents.

After months of pressuring the Arab League to provide a way for Abbas to sit down to said talks without losing the final shred of credibility he (arguably) has left…
After Mitchell and VP Biden fly to Israel to try and jump-start these "indirect proximity talks"…
They get off the plane to find out that Israel has approved 112 new settlement apartments in the illegal settlement, Beitar Illit, near occupied Beit Jala. The world is informed this settlement was necessary to fill a "dangerous gap" of 40 meters between two buildings. Israel, the country whose supreme technological prowess is the subject of constant praise, is absolutely stifled by the challenge of a gap between buildings such that it simply has no choice but to build something new—and illegal and politically explosive—in between. As Helena Cobban comments, "I understand that there are still a few other places in the West Bank where there are gaps between one settlement building and another…. Or—even more dangerous!—gaps between one settlement and another!"
Biden responded to this issue (read: another issue) by saying: "Bibi, you heard me say before: progress occurs in the Middle East when everyone knows there is simply no space between the United States and Israel." An effective diplomatic reiteration of Israel's latest settlement building excuse/strategy.
Despite Biden's comments, the State Dept was a bit embarrassed and was forced to issue a statement. The statement reads: "Both sides should be cautious about actions that might be either misperceived within the region or that might be exploited by those who want to create obstacles to further progress."
You got that? The outright theft of Palestinian land so that Jews only can live on it reflects, in the US government's formulation, either: (1) misperception, or (2) an argument that Palestinians could use to create further obstacles to peace because clearly this is what they do best. Above all, the message the US is conveying is that, in the context of absolutely no "terror" attacks and ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine, let "both sides" please be cautious.
This whole line of moral and political thinking can—and should—be dismissed with a big "fuck you and everything you stand for."
But that's yesterday's news.
Today, the Israeli Interior Ministry approves an additional 1,600 homes in occupied East Jerusalem. One thousand, six hundred new and illegal units, in contravention of stated US policy, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and a couple dozen UN Security Council Resolutions.
Obama, Biden, American Jews, Israelis: Can you focus on your hypocrisy long enough to count to so high a number?
When Israel becomes a binational state by constitution and not only by unilateral Jewish force, Israelis and Jews, who are against this conflict resolution framework, will have only themselves to blame.

Silencing Speech
by Joe Kaufman
There are those members of the radical Muslim community who wish to silence their opponents via legal means. The goal is to instill fear and to create an undue fiscal burden on those who speak out against them, so that the truth about their dangerous agendas will never reach the public.
"It is high time the type of [rhetoric] directed specifically at the Muslim community and its leadership by right-wing extremists and so-called terrorist experts stops. I think we can start the beginning of the end by initiating litigation that will force them into financial responsibility for their scurrilous and shameless acts against the Muslim community."
These were the words of former member of Congress Walter Fauntroy, speaking for and defending Islamist activist Mahdi Bray, whose extensive criminal history had just been exposed by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), an organization headed by counter-terror authority Steven Emerson. The words are published on Bray's personal blog.

- Kuro Tsuki is reincarnation of Dark Pretty Cure. Kuro means black and Tsuki moon so her name is actually Black Moon. Dark Pretty Cure was actually shadow of Cure Moonlight and two of them were often described as Light (Cure Moonlight) and Shadow (Dark Pretty Cure). In her alter ego Cure Shadow Sky, Shadow is related to Dark Pretty Cure being shadow of Cure Moonlight and Sky to that Moon is in the sky.
- Only Cure that isn't reincarnation of character from Heartcatch Pretty Cure was actually villain at beginning of series.
- Mirror Power Pretty Cure has some similitaires with original pretty cure series:
- Three of four pretty cures are actually reincarnations of heartcatch pretty cure, also both seasons have four cures, two appears at begining and two later.
- Two Cures appear at begining and two later like in Suite, also one of two new cures is mysterious cure that didn't tell her identity at begining and other is villain that became pretty cure.
- It have some similiar things to Doki Doki Pretty Cure:
- Both main villains have daughter that became friends with pretty cure and both of them helpe pretty cure in final battle, however Regina didn't really became Pretty Cure and Kagami did.
- Pretty Cures that appear in the middle of series (Cure Ace and Cure Shadow Sky) both appear after daughter of main villain is controlled by main villain and became bad again and both almost defeated that daughter, however, Cure Shadow Sky was stoped by Hana, while Cure Ace couldn't defeat Regina, because Selfish Trio took her away.
- This is first time cures have name with two words.
- This isn't first series on this wiki that has cures that are reincarnation of Mirage Cures, but it is first one that has two cures that are each reincarnation of two mirage cures.

Kelham Island Brewery has come a long way since brewing the first pint of beer behind the Fat Cat in 1990. The brewery produces a range of specialist beers with a growing reputation for quality, often featuring in publications and also winning several awards, including the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain (GOLD – Supreme Champion) for Pale Rider. Along with the original Fat Cat and the new Brewery located on Alma Street, there is now a shop and function room, which is available for party bookings.
The Tap & Tankard is the first pub opened by the brewery under the stewardship of Managing Director, Edward Wickett. Ed is developing the business based on all the success of his father Dave and the whole team has worked very hard to ensure a positive start to the new venture in December 2014.
With its' location in the city centre, the Tap & Tankard provides lovers of good quality ales an opportunity to meet and enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional pub and to combine this with a visit to other amenities, including good shopping, clubs, the City Hall and the theatres.

I have an old Craftsman Miter Saw without any instructions. Does anyone know how to change the blade. Doesn't appear to be any locking device to hold blade while bolt is loosened. Would also be interested in finding a manual if anyone knows of a source. Thanks Richard

text: Okay, so I purchased the black patent Ritz bag a couple of months ago. I loved it at first, but now that I've seen the black patent retro bag, I'm thinking I want it instead. I don't want both. So, my question is, should I eBay the Ritz and get the Retro? I've only had the Ritz outside of the house a handful of times, so it's in perfect condition, but I'm sure I'll still take a huge loss, but I relly love that retro bag! For reference, the first pic is the Ritz bag I have (pic borrowed from Mon) and the second is the Retro I want (borrowed pic from another pfer). What to do?

Paula Deen's Kitchen Wisdom
and Recipe Journal
by Paula Deen
Hey there, y'all!
My favorite recipes came direct from my momma and grandmommas. I just love goin' through all the recipe cards they passed on to me and readin' their handwritten notes; it makes me remember our good times in the kitchen, gathered round the table. Sometimes, though, I need a little remindin' when it comes to writin' down my own recipes and recollections, so I've put together this darlin' little journal to get me (and you) started recordin'. I know I never forget a meal, but I also know that Jamie and Bobby aren't always listenin' to what I'm tellin' 'em.
So for you and the boys, I've included some tried-and-true recipes and some of my hard-learned tricks for gettin' out of culinary scrapes -- and Lord, honey, have there been a few. Whether it is a real disaster -- the boss and his wife are comin' over and the kitchen is full of smoke (no shame in servin' some takeout) -- or just an everyday bump in the road -- your husband didn't hear the buzzer, and the cake got a little dry in the oven (let some sugar water soak into those layers, and no one will know the difference) -- I've got your answer. Just get cookin' and let loose: nothin' makes memories like the smell of home-cooked meals. Jot down your ingredients and your musings, cut out a recipe card or two to share with friends, keep track of who came to dinner, who liked what, and who laughed the loudest; remember the good times and learn from the bad. Like I always say, there's not much in life you can't learn in the kitchen.

Although projects can be similar, pricing for consulting and technical assistance varies from project to project depending upon the size and complexity of the organization, as well as the scope and duration of the project. Together, we would determine if an hourly rate, deliverable rate, or other possible compensation structure would be appropriate for your organization's needs and the potential cost to deliver the needed services.
The first conversation is usually complimentary and non-obligatory (maybe even the second), as it provides an opportunity for both Ferrone Associates and the potential client to determine if they are a good fit for one another. It also allows Ferrone Associates to learn enough to offer some initial insights as well as to propose a scope of work and approach, as needed (and as requested).
There's a lot of flexibility when it comes to working out the final project arrangements that fit your budget. You've got nothing to lose by having at least one conversation--a conversation that could positively change the course of your organization's future. There's no hard sell... just an up-front and honest response waiting for you.
The bottom line is this: Clients deserve great project work for a fair price. Ferrone Associates hopes to have fun delivering that great work for that fair price.

SXSW: 'The Waiting' – James Caan is Haunted and Blood Spills
A film must have strong characters to be remembered. I will remember 'The Waiting' for a long time, not only because of its characters, but because of how well they were used to explore human depravity,
SXSW: Rami Malek and Christian Slater Get Authentic on 'Mr. Robot'
Mr. Robot stars Rami Malek and Christian Slater joined series creator Sam Esmail at SXSW film panel "Coding on Camera: MR. ROBOT and Authenticity on TV."

At this year's South by Southwest film festival Seth Rogen debuted, as a work-in-progress, his new animated feature 'Sausage Party.' It is the first foray into the "R-rated world" for an animated feature. If you have no problems with watching food have sex, it's really funny.

In one of the rarest Michael Jackson videos on the internet, the King Of Pop does a country line dance routine and sings Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff" on an episode of a Jacksons TV special in the 70s. Michael is dressed in a full urban cowboy motif at a old fashioned saloon before joining the line dancers for a choreographed dance scene that you just can't miss checking out! I'm not sure what is more shocking here, Michael in the cowboy hat or Michael singing Bob Marley? How in the world did this collaboration come to pass?
"I SHOT THE SHERIFF" – Michael Jackson
Believe it or not, the Jacksons flew down to Jamaica in April of 1975 for a special performance opening for the King of Reggae music in his home country. Ask most music historians and they've likely never heard of this legendary pairing of two of the most influential music artists of the 20th Century, but it's all true and some rare pictures have leaked from the meeting. Prior to the concert, Michael and his brothers hung out with Marley and his band and there is a priceless picture of the whole crew hanging out on a giant tree branch. You can clearly see Bob in the middle of the picture and Michael is four people to the right, next to the man in the Number 31 shirt. This is not a contrived Loch Ness Monster/Bigfoot fabricated picture, it's the real deal! The Jackson Five did a 90 minute set prior to Bob Marley's full performance at Jamaica's National Stadium. A local newspaper reported that the full concert went until 4AM when fans broke down some barricades and forced the show to end.

Combining a century old Swiss tradition with traditional Italian artisanship utilizing 100% pure copper sourced from the United States, makes our copper fondue set the ultimate cookware for your next fondue gathering. In our uncompromising quest of only using 100% pure copper, we only work with the most reputable and highest quality producers. One of our major suppliers of 100% pure copper is the United States, which is used for the creation of our beautiful copper fondue set. Promoted as a Swiss national dish decades ago, Fondue soon became a popular and fun way of engaging with family and friends over food at the dinner table. Originally used with cheese, fondue became more versatile and is nowadays also used with broth or even chocolate. Whether you are enjoying bread, meats, vegetables, fruits or even marshmallows, our copper fondue set will become the ultimate tool for a fun and engaging time with family and friends. Our beautiful 1.9qt. copper fondue set is completely hand-crafted in our workshop in Ravina, Italy and comes complete with a stand, fondue pot with lid, fuel paste holder and fuel paste. The fondue pot is hand-hammered to increase the rigidity of the pot and prevent deformation. Thanks to the superior heat conductivity of the copper, it is sufficient to maintain a perfect temperature for the food inside the fondue pot by just lighting a fuel paste underneath it. The rim of our copper fondue pot is enforced and rounded to add extra strength and stability to the bowl. The copper fondue pot including the lid is completely tin-lined in the inside. We use only 100% pure tin for any of our products and apply using the traditional fire-tinning method. Since the fondue pot is oven safe up to 450° Fahrenheit (230° Celsius), the pot can even be pre-heated in the oven or on the stove if desired. Dimensions for complete Fondue including Stand: Total Weight: 5,2lbs (2.35kg) Total Height: 9.75" (24.76cm) Total Width: 8.5" (21.59cm) Dimensions for the Pot: Total Capacity: 1.9qt (1.7ltr) Total Weight: 2.12lbs (961gr) Total Height: 5.75" (14.60cm) Total Width: 8.5" (21.59cm) Opening Top: 5.5" (13.97cm) Base Width: 7" (17.5cm) Dimensions for the Stand: Total Weight: 1.15lbs (521gr) Total Height: 6.5" (16.51cm) Total Width: 8.5" (21.59cm) Diameter for Fuelpast Holder: 3.75" (9.52cm) As all of our products, our copper fondue set is hand-crafted in the Navarini workshop in northern Italy. The body of our fondue pot is constructed from one single sheet of copper ensuring absolute even heat distribution from the base to the sides of the bowl. The copper used for our copper fondue pot is pure copper with a thickness of 1.5mm ensuring a quick and even heat distribution throughout the entire pot regardless of the heat-source used. Copper conducts heat twice as fast as aluminum cookware, 5 times faster compared to cast iron and over 25 times faster than stainless steel cookware. Ensuring a perfect temperature for the food inside the pot regardless of the heat source. Our copper fondue pot is entirely hand-hammered. Hand-hammered copper cookware adds strength and enhances the structure & durability of the material. In addition, hand-hammered characterizes true artisanship. We only use high quality, 100% pure and non-reactive tin-lining for our copper products. The advantage is that the heat conductivity of the tin-lining corresponds perfectly with the copper. Compared to other coating materials, our tin-lining can easily be renewed as often as desired and your cookware can be handed onto the next generation. Our copper cookware including the non-reactive and renewable tin-lining has a high heat tolerance of up to 450° Fahrenheit (230° Celsius). One of the reasons why our copper cookware is preferred by professional chefs around the world. Our fondue set will arrive packed in a beautiful blue "Bottega Navarini" cloth bag. Not only a fitting bag for our beautiful copper products but already treasured by our customers as a sign of an original Navarini. Crafted by hand in the Navarini family workshop of Ravina, Italy.
Please note: Minor cosmetic imperfections may occur. Small imperfections are a natural part of the handmade process and lend charm, depth, and individuality to each piece. We only use 100% pure materials such as copper, brass and tin for our products. The entire process is made by hand and we utilize the traditional method of fire-tinning. Dimensions for complete Fondue including Stand: Total Weight: 5,2lbs (2.35kg) Total Height: 9.75" (24.76cm) Total Width: 8.5" (21.59cm) Dimensions for the Pot: Total Capacity: 1.9qt (1.7ltr) Total Weight: 2.12lbs (961gr) Total Height: 5.75" (14.60cm) Total Width: 8.5" (21.59cm) Opening Top: 5.5" (13.97cm) Base Width: 7" (17.5cm) Dimensions for the Stand: Total Weight: 1.15lbs (521gr) Total Height: 6.5" (16.51cm) Total Width: 8.5" (21.59cm) Diameter for Fuelpast Holder: 3.75" (9.52cm)

Hello there and welcome to chapter- wait... this isn't a chapter? Haha! Nope, this is the notice that the sequel to 'A Force to Be Reckoned With' is up! You can go find it on my profile if you want! Huzzah! I took a couple of weeks to write out the first few chapters, and I finally posted it! Yay! I'm incredibly excited about it.
As you probably know from the last chapter there won't be any BrockxWhite stuff in it. Only Ferriswheelshipping from here on out.
I said I'd have a summary in this chapter, but being as I am terrible with summaries I decided to whip up a small part of sorts that will be in the next story as a bit of a summary/preview/I don't know what to call it so I just continue to ramble. XD
That mark. I knew that mark. The shield with the blue P and black and white background was one emblem I would never mistake.
"P-plasma?" I whispered to myself.
I hadn't in a million years thought I would see that mark again. Maybe in books, or when someone created a documentary about Team Plasma in the future, but definitely not now, only a few months since all of the Sages of Team Plasma were jailed.
The man who was wearing the emblem froze, his eyes widening as he took in my appearance. He almost looked frightened.
"Who are you?" I asked in bewilderment.
The man's mouth opened, no words sounding before he closed it again.
"Are you a grunt?" I asked, taking a step toward the man.
He didn't look like a grunt. The blue and white uniforms I had gotten to used to seeing were usually the sign that someone was one of the workers for Team Plasma. But this man, this man wore all black. It looked like a polished uniform, one of someone who knew what they were doing. However this man didn't exactly seem like he felt comfortable stealing a Pokemon, and it was more than a little obvious he wasn't doing a good job with it either.
The Herdier at his feet barked once, sending a ferocious growl at the man before bounding over to me, its tongue flopping out of its mouth in glee. It halted once it reached me, plopping down by my feet and rubbing its head on my knee.
If I hadn't have been so stunned by the person in front of me I would've petted the dog Pokemon, and told it that everything was going to be alright. However it seemed to be taking being stolen better than I was.
The man still hadn't answered me and I found myself growing impatient, "Who are you?" I demanded.
The man took a deep breath, straightening the gloves on his hands before he finally spoke up, his voice shaky. "Yes, I am a Plasma grunt."
It felt like I had been slapped in the face. He was a grunt. A grunt for Team Plasma. The organization that didn't exist any longer.
The man let out an irritated sigh, "Did you not hear?"
"Hear what?" I squeaked.
"Ghetsis and the rest of the Sages 'escaped' from prison," the grunt said, using air quotes around the word 'escaped'.
I nodded, "Y-yeah, I heard about that."
It had been all over the news. I doubted anyone hadn't heard. However Unova had been told not to worry, that the Sages were harmless now and that Team Plasma wouldn't ever cause any harm again.
But as I watched the grunt in front of me glare in my direction, the shining Plasma badge on his suit, I knew they had been wrong.
So there's a bit of a preview... kinda. Anyway, before you go and check that story out, *wink wink nudge nudge* Haha! I just want to thank all of you again.
I want to thank everyone who read this story. Whether you read all of the chapters or only one, I want to thank you. This story was my first, and I never expected the response I got. So thank you so much.
And a few extra extra special shoutouts!
To Poke-ninja6600 and ChelseaSienaJosephineCassandra. Both of you have read from almost the beginning when I first posted this story. You have definitely been two of the biggest supporters and I just want to hug both of you if I could... so internet hug I guess? And I hope (even though Poke-ninja was routing for Brock) that you'll enjoy the sequel just as much!
To Sweettjrose, XWhiteChanX, Let Flygons Be Flygons, Greyrosereddragon, and starchaseremerald. You guys have been some who have followed this story for a while as well. Leaving me some amazing reviews and hopefully enjoying this story as well! You have definitely kept me going as well and I can't thank you enough!
To RoseMasterD87. You have been a humungous help to me. You've not only given me some amazing feedback, but helped me with picking out certain episodes to base chapters off of when dealing with Brock, Misty, Ash, May, Max, and all of those little suckers. An amazing help and (even though you were routing for Brock as well) hopefully you'll enjoy the next one. XD
And finally just a big thanks to those of you who have faved/followed/reviewed on this story. I remember every single review I receive, and I love every fave/follow. I couldn't ask for a better bunch of readers.
I think I just said thanks about twenty times. XD
Anyway, so the sequel is up, it's called, "The Driving Force" and I am so super excited about it you have no idea. Haha!
So if you want to go check that out and continue on, on this journey with me I will love you forever. If not, I understand and I really want to thank you for reading thus far!
So I'll see you guys over there for more adventures and fun and... epically long authors notes. XD
Thanks again!

Smaller nonprofits find it particularly difficult to keep up with the time and tools needed to create more visibility about their causes and to take advantage of the social network. This challenge directly impacts their capacity to build more relationships and fundraise.
Part of building stronger communications capacity is having the technology to support it. For many small nonprofits, that's the first hurdle. When there's inadequate internal capacity for focused communications efforts, attempts will be spotty. And inconsistency is the devil in the details.
Happily, there are tools that can help your nonprofit become a sophisticated user of online and mobile media without it being cost prohibitive. Today there's so much demand for tools to take advantage of social networking platforms that sorting through the options can be overwhelming. Following are some popular and free or reasonably priced choices.
A Nonprofit Tech for Good recommendation, Wibbitz, converts text-based posts and articles into interactive videos. Since videos have proven to be a hugely popular form of engaging people online and via mobile phone, that makes Wibbitz a highly useful tool.
It can be added to Web pages or articles and requires an iOS 7.0 or later operating system. Wibbitz is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and is optimized for iPhone 5. You'll need to have iTunes on your device to use Wibbitz.
Qwiki automatically turns pictures and videos from events you've captured on your iPhone into brief movies to share. Go to qwiki.com to see impressive examples of how it works. It requires iOS 5.1 or later, is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and is optimized for iPhone 5.
Nonprofit Tech for Good also suggests a look at Windows Live Writer to generate HTML code. For non-techies, HTML will allow you to add "Donate Now" buttons, e-Newsletter and text alert sign-up boxes, and/or call-to-action images to your social media profiles. See the tool in action at explore.live.com/livewriter.
As mobile phones have become the preferred communication tool for donating, Web surfing, video viewing and the like, mobile phone apps have become critical tools. Mozes offers text and voice campaigns that start at $10 per month. TextMarks offers a free trial for broadcast text messaging group, and has options ranging from $19 to $199 per month. Tech Soup offers nonprofits about a 50 percent discount on Connect2Give, a respected package for mobile fundraising.
Tech Soup is well known in the nonprofit community. If your organization is a registered 501(c)(3), do take advantage of this group whose mission is to distribute inexpensive technology to nonprofits. Registration is free online, and you can receive deep discounts on everything from accounting and donor tracking software to computer hardware. Cloud computing continues its rise in popularity as a way to reduce infrastructure costs and increase ways of collaborating across locations. NpCloud offers cloud-based technology prooducts to nonprofits at about 40 percent off retail. Many cloud computing products are also found on Tech Soup at reduced prices.
Because photos are important for your media communications, a great tool for the non-graphic designer is PicMonkey, a photo editing tool that allows you to embed text, add your logo and create collages for great Facebook covers and other uses. A basic account is $33 per year. I've been a fan of free photo editor Photoscape for basic editing needs, but PicMonkey offers some more elegant solutions to these.
I've not tried ustream yet but have been hearing about this easy tool for creating Web-based Internet "TV" stations. They also provide smartphone and tablet apps so you can broadcast live from anywhere at no cost. How great to bring your fans and supporters live feed of an important conference or your fundraising event. Visit them at ustreamtv.com.
If your nonprofit tries on these solutions it can transform your communications and your ability to attract supporters, volunteers and donors. And you can do it without spending thousands of dollars.
Sarah Todd is founder of Change Pioneers, a resource on effective social change leadership. She can be reached at 912-224-2120 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

On June 2, 2011, I began my quest for the presidency on the farm of Doug and Stella Scamman in Stratham, New Hampshire.
I said then that our country is a land of freedom and opportunity. I spoke of the hard work of the millions of Americans who built our remarkable experiment in self-government.
They carved out of the wilderness a land of immense prosperity and unlimited potential. I said then that "I believe in America." For more than a year now, I've carried that message across America. As we draw close to Election Day, it is a good moment to reflect on what it means to believe in America.
America is a place where freedom rings. It is a place where we can discuss our differences without fear of any consequence worse than criticism, where we can believe in whatever creed or religion we choose, where we can pursue our dreams no matter how small or grand. It is a place that not only cherishes freedom, but is willing to fight to defend it. These are the qualities that define us.
America is a land of opportunity. But lately, for too many Americans, opportunity has not exactly come knocking. We've been mired in an economic slowdown that has left millions of our fellow citizens unemployed. The consequences in dreams shattered, lives disrupted, plans deferred, and hopes dimmed can be found all around us.
It hasn't always been this way. It certainly doesn't have to be this way in the future. We're all in this together. And together we can emerge from these troubles.
Together with Paul Ryan, I've put forward an economic recovery plan consisting of five central elements that will in four years create 12 million jobs.
We will support nuclear and renewables, but phase out subsidies once an industry is on its feet. We will invest in energy science and research to make discoveries that can actually change our energy world. By 2020, we will achieve North American energy independence.We will retrain our work force for the jobs of tomorrow and ensure that every child receives a quality education no matter where they live, including especially our inner cities. Parents and students, not administrators and unions, need to have greater choice.
Our current worker retraining system is a labyrinth of federal programs that sprawls across 47 programs and nine agencies. We will eliminate this redundancy and empower the 50 states and the private sector to develop effective programs of their own.
We will make trade work for America. We'll open more markets to American agriculture, products, and services. And we will finally hold accountable any nation that doesn't play by the rules. I will stand up for the rights and interests of American workers and employers.
We will put America on track to a balanced budget by eliminating unnecessary programs, by sending programs back to states where they can be managed with less abuse and less cost, and by shrinking the bureaucracy of Washington.
Finally, we will champion small business, the great engine of job creation in our country, by reforming the tax code and updating and reshaping regulations that have suffocated economic growth.
As governor of a state that was overwhelmingly Democratic, I was always ready to reach across the aisle and I can proudly point to the results. I've learned that when we come together to solve problems in a practical spirit, we can accomplish miracles.In this respect, I am offering a contrast to what we are seeing in Washington today. We've watched as one party has pushed through its agenda without compromising with the other party.
We've watched gridlock and petty conflict dominate while the most important issues confronting the nation, like chronic high unemployment, go unaddressed. The bickering has to end. I will end it. I will reach across the aisle to solve America's problems.Our economic crisis not only threatens the well-being of our citizenry, it has larger consequences in other realms. The economic weakness of the past several years has, alarmingly, fostered weakness in our foreign policy posture.
Runaway domestic spending has led the president to propose reducing defense spending by hundreds of billions, cuts that his own secretary of defense has said would "devastate" our national security.The most important task for any president is set out in the preamble to our Constitution-providing for the common defense. As commander-in-chief, I will roll back the president's deep and arbitrary cuts to our military.
Our soldiers should never lack the tools they need to complete their mission and come home safely. I have always believed that the first purpose of a strong military is to prevent war. And preventing war is a supreme national interest. I will ensure that our military is strong enough that no adversary dares to challenge us.Let us remember our history. We have accomplished so much, both in the world and at home. We've defeated tyrannies. We've lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. We've transformed our own society into a more perfect union.
We've created a land of freedom and prosperity. The problems we need to overcome now are not bigger than we are. We can defeat them. I am offering real change and a real choice.

Title : THE FORMAL THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF STRONG EQUIVALENCE FOR ELEMENTAL PROGRAMS.
Descriptive Note : Technical rept.,
Corporate Author : STANFORD UNIV CALIF DEPT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Abstract : The syntax and semantics is given for elemental programs, and the strong equivalence of these simple ALGOL-like flow-charts is shown to be undecidable. A formal theory is introduced for deriving statements of strong equivalence, and the completeness of this theory is obtained for various sub-cases. Several applications of the theory are discussed. Using a regular expression representation for elemental programs and an unorthodox semantics for these expressions, several strong equivalence detecting procedures are developed. (Author)

What a face, Tigger is gorgeous! Thanks for posting a pic of him, TNB. :)
TNB, I really look forward to more pics of your kitty family. And good luck with the move. :)
More Oliver... well he's the only cat we have and I haven't been out with the camera!!!
This one is playing around indoors with the curtains drawn and experimenting with flash etc
I can't count how many times I wanted to take a photo and couldn't get to the camera--a couple of times, I just set up the camera and left it on a tripod in wait.
This is one of the feral cats that live in our yard. He got pretty sick around the end of November. This was taken on December 8th. He's still not totally well, but he's eating again and looks a lot less ratty now that he can groom himself again.
Yep, one blue eye and one green eye.

text: I need to use ASIO4ALL to record, but when I set that as my driver, no sound comes out of fruity loops. It has to be set on primary sound, but when it is, I can't record anything because of the lack of sound. Has this happened to anyone before? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks!

What kinds of Asian?
They're very diverse.
Are black Americans the same with black African?
Are all whites the same with Italians, white Americans or white Russians?
and even some middle Easterners are considered Caucasian too.

Newcastle centre Tane Tu'ipulotu forced to retire with knew injury
Newcastle centre Tane Tu'ipulotu has been forced to retire with immediate effect.
The Falcons say the 32-year-old Tongan was advised to call time on his career by medical experts due to a knee injury.
He is in his second spell with Newcastle, having initially joined them in 2008 from the Wellington-based Hurricanes, and then returning to Tyneside last year following a stint with Japanese club Yamaha Jubilo.
"It is a painfully tough decision for me to make to stop doing something that I've always loved since I was a young lad growing up in Tonga," Tu'ipulotu said, in a statement released by the Falcons.
Newcastle rugby director Dean Richards added: "I am disappointed and it's a big blow to the team to lose someone of Tane's calibre.
"Players of Tane's quality don't come around very often, and it's a massive loss to the side. We wish him all the very best for the future."
