Teplinsky, Brandenburg
There are no notices at this time.
This weekly two-hour seminar will critically examine cutting-edge information privacy law issues. Topics to be addressed include digital surveillance, the privacy implications of social networking technologies, consumer privacy, cloud computing, online behavioral advertising, and the role of anonymity in a networked world. We will compare and contrast existing legal frameworks for privacy protection in the U.S. and abroad, and we will discuss emerging privacy paradigms. We also will examine the nexus between privacy and information security through discussions of encryption, authentication, data breaches, and cybersecurity.

This dangerous move is rarely seen in pro wrestling, but when it's carried out, you sure do know about it. The Elevated Cradle Neckbreaker sees the opponent lifted up in the air with their legs before the wrestler sits/kneels out, driving them neck first off the shoulder.
The move was first originated in Japanase manga, with the move referenced to Kinnikuman, a cartoon character who used an over-the-top variation as his finisher. Soon enough, Japanese wrestlers started using the move, most notably Tanny Mouse. The move has soon made its way onto the US independent circuit with several wrestlers categorising it as a finishing move. Sonjay Dutt labels the move as an Indian Summer, and hits a kneeling variation in the video below.
The move can start off from one of two positions. Usually, the opponent will be seated on the top turnbuckle, allowing the wrestler to grab them by the legs with their arms. As they do this, the opponent will duck their head so that the head is tucked in with the hold. Another way of starting the move is by lifting the opponent from a standing position. Here, the wrestler will grab the opponent suplex style before grabbing both of the opponent's legs also. They will then be lifted into the elevated cradle position.
Once in this position, the wrestler will then usually stagger backwards slightly. There is a need for the wrestler to be strong, as they will be taking the whole weight of the opponent on their shoulders as they walk. At the right moment, the wrestler will then get prepared for the drop.
There are two ways to finish the move. Either the wrestler will kneel out, which is more dangerous, or they will sitout. Either way, the opponent's neck will bounce off the wrestler's shoulder and they will fall to the floor. In a kneeling position, the opponent usually lands stomach/head first off impact, but in the sitout position, the opponent will usually hit the canvas back first.
- Also known as: Kinniku Buster/ Muscle Buster Neckbreaker
- Famous users: Sonjay Dutt, Tanny Mouse, Juventud Guerrera
- Finished off: Rey Mysterio, Petey Williams, Kaori Yoneyama
- H&B Rating: 9
Watch more variations:
Tanny Mouse's Kinniku Buster– A seated variation of the move, where the opponent is set up exactly as mentioned before, only for the wrestler to sitout suddenly. The sudden movement drives the opponent's neck off the shoulder, before they fall to their back.
Juventud Guerrera's Elevated Cradle Neckbreaker– Very similar to the Indian Summer, Juvi lifts the opponent up but instead of running forward, he walks and spins around before drilling Rey with the kneeling neckbreaker.

Ok i booted up my XP box earlier and everything loaded up fine like it should, anyhow i go to close MSN messenger and i keep on getting this error.
But the funny thing is that i don't have any of these programs/ Applications running..There are other applications currently using features provided by Windows Messenger. You must close these other application before you can exit windows messenger. These applications may include Outlook, Outlook Express, MSN Explorer, and Internet Explorer.
So i am finding it hard to work out what making this happen..
I've updated nortan and ran a full system scan, run adaware and spybot. And ran the cleaner as well, and they all came up clear so i've eliminated that it's nothing evil..
I've also tried using spybot's tools to disable it from starting up at startup but with no success so now i'm just clutching straw to figure out what's up with this.
So does anyone have any ideas on what this might be, or how to stop it.?. cause i'd sure like to know.
Anyhow Screen shot attached..

Bond investors who are trying to figure out where to take their talents — or investment choices — would do well to study NBA star LeBron James, according to Michael Lewitt at The Credit Strategist.
To much fanfare, James is returning to his home state of Ohio to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers next season. But it\'s not his choice of teams that makes him such a good role model for bond investors — it\'s the contract he signed, according to Lewitt.
James agreed to a short-term two-year deal, which is expected to help net him more money when he renegotiates down the line, given a new NBA television deal that\'s in the works.
Corporate bond investors are staring down paltry income from bonds as buyers pile into the market amid low interest rates. The 10-year Treasury note traded at a yield of 2.49% on Monday.
But, like LeBron, they see a bigger payout ahead, given the possibility that rates could rise. Lewitt writes in a research note:
\"Bond investors face three types of risks: interest rate, credit and systemic risk. Today, all three risks are arguably at their optimal or lowest levels in years and are highly likely to increase over the immediate future…
\"The most likely course of events over the next two to three years and then the next three to five years is higher market volatility as a result of rising rates, which will create the opportunity for investors who have planned properly not only to avoid large losses (both realized and unrealized or mark-to-market) on their bond portfolios, but to be positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that market dislocations will create.\"
So what\'s a bond buyer to do? Like LeBron\'s contract choice, they should go short-term. Writes Lewitt:
\"Investors would be wiser to follow Lebron's example and keep the duration of their commitments as short as possible in the current low yield environment while waiting for bond yields to rise. Whatever returns they sacrifice in the short term will be more than recaptured over the long term.\"

Many of my pregnant patients inquire as to what medication they can use when they experience symptoms of the common cold, such as cough, congestion, sneezing, and fever. I am hesitant to recommend over-the-counter cold remedies because I have heard conflicting information regarding the safety of these products. What is known about the safety of cold medications during pregnancy?
Although there are many over-the-counter brands of cold medications, most products are quite similar, with some containing up to 5 medicinal ingredients. The evidence-based information for all these ingredients suggests no increased risk with short-term use. However, pregnant women should read labels carefully and, when necessary, consult with pharmacists to ensure they are not taking medicine they do not require.
Plusieurs de mes patientes enceintes me demandent quels médicaments prendre lorsqu'elles souffrent de symptômes du rhume, comme la toux, la congestion nasale, les éternuements et la fièvre. J'hésite à leur recommander des médicaments en vente libre contre le rhume, parce que j'ai entendu des renseignements contradictoires quant à leur innocuité. Que sait-on de la sécurité des médicaments contre le rhume durant la grossesse?
Même si les marques de médicaments en vente libre contre le rhume sont nombreuses, la plupart des produits se ressemblent beaucoup et certains contiennent jusqu'à 5 ingrédients médicinaux. Les renseignements fondés sur des données scientifiques ne font pas valoir de risque accru avec un usage de courte durée. Par ailleurs, les femmes enceintes devraient lire attentivement les étiquettes et consulter leur pharmacien au besoin pour s'assurer de ne pas prendre de médicaments dont elles n'ont pas besoin.
Symptoms such as cough, nasal stuffiness, discharge, sneezing, and sore throat can be due to a mild upper respiratory illness also known as the common cold. It is caused by numerous viruses and is usually a self-limiting illness. However, sometimes the infection spreads to other nearby organs, leading to a serious bacterial infection. 1 Because of immunologic changes during pregnancy, pregnant women are susceptible to many infections. 2 Although there are many over-the-counter (OTC) medications that help to relieve symptoms of the common cold, there are only a few medicinal ingredients in these products.
Analgesics commonly found in OTC cold medications are acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). The safety of acetaminophen in pregnancy is well documented. The Collaborative Perinatal Project monitored 50 282 mother-child pairs, 226 of which had first-trimester exposure to acetaminophen and 781 of which had been exposed anytime during pregnancy. 3 In a surveillance study involving 229 101 completed pregnancies, 9146 newborns had been exposed to acetaminophen in the first trimester. 4 In addition, as part of a larger study, 697 women who had used acetaminophen with or without codeine in the first trimester were assessed following delivery and there was no increased risk of major malformations among their offspring. 5
Ibuprofen and ASA are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In the same surveillance study as above, 3178 newborns were exposed to ibuprofen in the first trimester and there was no association with an increased risk of birth defects. 4 A meta-analysis conducted by the Motherisk Program found no evidence of an overall increase in the risk of major malformations associated with ASA use during the first trimester. 6
In 2001, a study of 1462 women who had received prescriptions for NSAIDs 30 days before conception or during pregnancy did not find associations between NSAIDs and congenital birth defects, preterm delivery, or intrauterine growth retardation. However, they did find a statistically increased risk of spontaneous abortion (SAB) when compared with a nonexposed group. It is important to note that although an association with SABs was found, both the NSAID group and the comparison group in this study had substantially lower rates of SABs than is expected in the general population. 7
Acetylsalicylic acid use has been associated with delivery complications and adverse effects in newborns; therefore, use in analgesic doses is not recommended in late pregnancy. 8,9 Low doses of ASA (40 to 150 mg) have not been associated with concerns at any stage of pregnancy. 10,11 However, the use of NSAIDs, other than low-dose ASA, in the third trimester is associated with premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and should be avoided if possible. 12
Cough suppressants
Dextromethorphan (DM) is a cough suppressant commonly found in OTC cold medications. There are a number of human studies on the use of DM during pregnancy that did not find an association between this drug and an increased risk of birth defects. The Collaborative Perinatal Project, for example, followed 300 mother-child pairs who took DM during the first trimester and 580 mother-child pairs with exposure anytime during pregnancy. 3
A prospective comparative study, which was conducted by researchers in the Motherisk Program, investigated pregnancy outcomes in 184 women exposed to DM. 13 Another group investigated 59 pregnancies exposed to DM in the first trimester. 14 Neither group documented an increased risk of major malformations above the baseline.
Pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine are the most common oral decongestants in OTC cold medications. In some studies, decongestant use in the first trimester has been associated with a small increase of defects thought to arise, in some instances, from vascular disruption, such as gastroschisis, small intestinal atresia, and hemifacial microsomia. 14 However, there are several cohort and case-control studies that failed to show any increased risk of malformations when oral decongestants were used during pregnancy. 15,16 In addition, there was no increased risk for malformations in a recent Swedish population-based case-control study involving 2474 women exposed to oral decongestants during the first trimester and 1771 women exposed at the end of pregnancy. 17
Xylometazoline and oxymetazoline are inhaled decongestants, which are also available OTC. Xylometazoline is absorbed systemically after topical use (American Medical Association Council on Drugs, unpublished data, 1994); however, the extent of systemic absorption and whether or not it crosses the placenta are unknown. The results of one human study of 207 women who used xylometazoline in the first trimester of pregnancy failed to show any increase in incidence of birth defects. 14 Oxymetazoline was evaluated in human pregnancies, and a single dose given to each of 12 pregnant women did not alter maternal or fetal circulation. 18 It is important to note that although OTC inhaled decongestants are considered relatively safe for use during pregnancy, women should be cautioned regarding rebound effects from overuse of these products.
Diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine are the most commonly used antihistamines in cold preparations. These first-generation antihistamines are associated with drowsiness but have not been found to increase the risk of malformations above baseline. 19,20
Guaifenesin is an expectorant also found in many cold medications. There have been several studies involving hundreds of pregnant women that did not report increased risk of major malformations. 3,14,21
Pregnant women suffering from the common cold can be reassured about the safety of short-term use of OTC cold medications. These drugs, however, should not be used indiscriminately or for extended periods of time. In addition, use should be confined to only those products that are appropriate for the symptoms.

Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in English
Not all English majors become teachers. Some do, and we think our program prepares them to be very good ones. If you want to teach at the college level, our program will prepare you to pass the GRE and do graduate work with flying colors. But professions for English majors are much more numerous than most people think. Because of their highly developed skills in reading, writing, critical thinking, and understanding of the human condition, English majors have a great advantage in professions as diverse as law, poetry-writing and medicine.
The major in English is a traditional course of study in literature and composition for the student who plans to attend graduate school (in English or another field) or to take a job not requiring certification to teach. The program prepares the student for successful performance along a great variety of professional paths having to do with precise verbal expression and with philosophical knowledge of the human condition. The program requires coursework in writing, literary study, and critical theory, but it also asks the student to choose several elective courses to suit his or her personal interests. Students study literature from various world cultures, especially British and American. Our English major alumni are prepared to compete for good graduate school positions, and they are well-equipped to enter many positions in the world of business that require high-level reading, critical thinking and writing skills. Their literary studies make them particularly suitable candidates for positions requiring a balanced understanding of human beings and their potential.

Food52 Review: This layered sweet potato gratin comes out of the oven caramelized on the edges and glistening with butter. The potatoes in the center are soft, their layers embedded with prunes; the ones around the edges are so crisp and sweet from the port, they taste candied. Slice the potatoes thinly -- use a mandoline if you have one -- and check the potatoes after 35 minutes in the oven. By 40 minutes, ours was perfect. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 6-10
sweet potatoes, sliced very thinly using a mandoline
pound butter
cup port
pitted prunes
- Melt 1/2 pound butter and clarify. (Skim off the foam & milk solids until all that remains is clear butterfat.)
- Heat a cup of port and soak ten pitted prunes until slightly plumped, about 20 minutes. Drain and chop the prunes coarsely.
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Brush clarified butter onto your favorite eight- or nine-inch round baking dish or oven-proof frying pan.
- Put a layer of potatoes, overlapping in circles, in the dish. Brush with clarified butter, and salt and pepper. Put another layer of potatoes and about half the prune pieces. Salt and pepper. Brush with clarified butter. Repeat two more layers, embedding the rest of the prunes at the end and brushing each layer with clarified butter and salt and pepper. You can do four layers of potatoes or six, it's up to you. Pack the potatoes tightly. If there's a little butter left at the end, it's no big deal.
- Bake at 450 for 45-60 minutes until crisp and tender.
- Remove from oven when crisp and tender. After a few minutes, flip onto a serving plate.

Further, said Robert Weil II, chairman of the council's International Trade Policy Committee and a Montgomery, Ala. cotton merchant, if the U.S. is going to meet "some of the stiffest competition it has ever faced," it will need "a government partnership for help in securing markets against sometimes unfair international competition."
To make matters worse, he said, cotton textile imports -- which have taken away half of the U.S. cotton textile retail market -- continue rising, and a stronger dollar has put cotton producers "at a severe disadvantage" in key markets.
And while the overall U.S. economy has experienced major growth in recent years, some 319,000 American textile and apparel workers lost their jobs from 1997 through 2000, with another 28,000 laid off in the first quarter of 2001.
Weil told the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Specialty Crops and Foreign Agriculture Programs that the upcoming new farm bill will offer Congress the opportunity to "reassert itself and fill an ever-widening void being created as the U.S. government appears to retreat in the face of international competition and the self-serving demands of our competitors."
U.S. mill use is expected to drop 3 million bales from the 1997 level, Weil said, but the 2001 crop is expected to be similar to the past two years, "meaning we will have to find a home in foreign markets for an additional 2 million to 3 million bales of cotton, or else see our carryover levels soar."
While Congress has provided many tools to assist agricultural exports, "the viability of these programs is being threatened and their potential is not being fully realized," he said. As examples:
Ô Government funding for the Foreign Market Development Program has failed to keep pace with inflation.
Ô Market Access Program funding has fallen by 55 percent since 1992, "despite its clearly positive impact."
Ô The Export Credit Guarantee Program, "the most cost-effective program, has been offered up by U.S. trade negotiators in return for no significant concessions by any competitors."
Ô The administration "has chosen to classify supplemental market loss assistance payments as subject to World Trade Organization limits."
The most surprising aspect of "this sad story," Weil said, is that the U.S. textile industry's gains in recent years rank third in the entire economy, behind only the electronics and computer sectors, "yet textile industry bankruptcies are accelerating."
The U.S. dollar has strengthened by almost 34 percent relative to the currencies of primary export market competitors, he said, and the American cotton industry, compared to other agricultural sectors, "is uniquely vulnerable to the effects of an appreciating dollar's impact on imports of cotton textile and apparel products."
It has resulted, Weil said, in a significant lowering of the price of foreign-produced textiles and apparel in the U.S., increasing the competitive advantage of foreign textile firms at the expense of U.S. spinning mills and textile enterprises.
Among the National Cotton Council trade policy priorities, Weil told the subcommittee are:
1. Maintaining cotton's competitiveness provisions in U.S. farm law and continuing a farm policy that enables the industry to produce a competitively priced product.
2. Maintaining and strengthening effective export assistance programs.
3. Effective implementation of existing regional trade arrangements to enhance the overall competitiveness of the U.S. textile sector.
4. Working to monitor China's compliance with the World Trade Organization agreement with the U.S.
5. Insuring that regional trade arrangements currently being negotiated are favorable to U.S. cotton and textile industries.
6. Working of a new agreement in the WTO that will improve the competitive position of U.S. cotton and textile industries.
"We need trade policy that insures our raw cotton is competitive, that opens markets for both raw cotton and U.S.-produced cotton textiles, and that insures the terms of competition are fair," Weil said.
He said while the council supports "free trade arrangements that will benefit our industry, we have some concerns about arrangements that further open our markets to some of our most difficult competitorsÖparticularly with textiles, where all quota restrictions are due to be phased out in four years."
If the U.S. further eliminates import duties "from some of the world's most prolific textile-producting countries, the U.S. textile industry will not be able to recover.
"Our industry generally sees opportunity in liberalized trade in this hemisphere -- but I caution that the Free Trade Agreement (FTAA) for the Americas is not without risk to the U.S. cotton and textile sectors. We see less opportunity in free trade arrangements with textile-producing countries in Asia, and we are opposed to such arrangements with Singapore."
The FTAA negotiations, Weil said, "coincide with a period of serious economic distress in the U.S. fiber, textile, and apparel sectors. The FTAA will have a much broader and more unpredictable impact on these industries than the North American Free Trade Agreement. It's important that the U.S. consider carefully, and separately, the impact of the FTAA on our textile and apparel sectors."

Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus) a rare, breeding, summer migrant with specialised physical adaptations to cater for its unique diet
The Honey Buzzard has dense scale-like feathers on the face and head to prevent it being stung by the bees and wasps it feeds on; it also has long, curved talons, to aid in digging up wasp nests in search of larvae.
A large bird of prey, similar in size to, or slightly larger than the Common Buzzard. The Honey Buzzard has a long tail and wings with three distinctive bars on the tail, dark bars on the underside of the wings and a dark carpal patch (at the slight bend of the forewing). The plumage is variable, from dark through to very pale, but generally adults are grey/brown on the upperparts with dark barring on the undersides. The head is small and held outstretched in flight giving an almost 'cuckoo-like' appearance. Juveniles are more difficult to identify bearing more resemblance to the Common Buzzard than the adults.
Length: 52-60cm; wingspan: 135-150cm
Status in UK
40 pairs (2009); AMBER listed; summer (breeding) visitor arrives mid-May; departs September; winters from southern Europe to sub-Saharan Africa
Population Trends
Always rare in the UK, the Honey Buzzard population is slowly increasing, although accurate figures are difficult to obtain due to the birds secretive nature and the unwillingness of birdwatchers to disclose nesting sites due to the risk from egg collectors. The increase may be linked to the maturing coniferous woodland in the UK.
Habitat and Distribution
Secretive, prefers open woodland glades and forest edges. Rarely seen away from nesting areas.
Honey Buzzards nest in southern England, East Anglia, northern England, Wales and Scotland.
Nests are built high up in trees within woodland, the nests are constructed of twigs and lined with fresh leaves. The initial breeding age of birds is unknown; there is one brood per year with 1-3 eggs being laid.
Wasps, bees and hornets are preferred; adults are taken in flight; adult wasps are followed back to nest sites where larvae are excavated using the Honey Buzzard's powereful talons. Reptiles, frogs and young birds are also taken, especially if insects are in short supply.

Welcome to Africa, AKA the motherland! Check out African Internet Radio while you're scoping the panoramas.The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.Text by Steve Smith.

Selz is Small, but That's Why People Like it
Lind, Bob. "Selz is Small, but That's why People Like it." Forum, 15 August 1993, sec. B & 3B.
The sounds of Summer in Selz: a flag flapping in the community park; a car on a gravel street; birds singing; long periods of no sound at all, interrupted by the harsh roar of Ruth Dosch's lawn mower.
Ruth came to Selz in 1967 because, she says, it was a good place to raise the two youngest of her six children.
Andrew Zeien at the former Selz schoolhouse, where he now lives with his family.
Selz is just north of Harvey, North Dakota. Population estimates vary from 60 to 75. It had a general store until 1969, a school until 1988. The store now houses a carpentry business and the school now is the home of the Zeien family.
Andrew Zeien, 13, attended school in this building until second grade. He says its "kind of fun" to live there.
Andrew says he likes Selz. "It's nice and quiet; not too much traffic," he says.
That's a fact. Selz, like many rural communities, struggles to exist. Its businesses are the carpenter's shop, a machine shop, a bar and the grain elevator where Jamey Weinmann works.
Weinmann and his wife Brenda live in a neat yellow and white house across the street from the baseball diamond now overgrown with grass. Brenda was the Selz postmaster until the post office closed four years ago; now she's the postmaster in Esmond, 17 miles away.
"I like this size town," Weinmann says. "It's not too busy. Grand Forks, Fargo, Bismarck, they're OK, but any bigger, it gets too fast. Here, you can walk to work."
Jamey Weinmann, right, lives near and takes care of the Selz Community Park.
Selz's residents include 10 children aged 14 and under. Three of
them belong to the Weinmanns. The two oldest sometimes play on the
merry-go-round and the slide in the park.
Their father looks after the park; he's paid out of a maintenance fund. Many of the park's facilities were donated by families and a homemaker's club.
The park contains playground equipment, two picnic tables in a shelter, a grill, a two-holer outhouse, the flag pole and a small flower garden. Pauline Ziegler voluntarily makes the garden her project.
Pauline's house is at the edge of town, down the street from St. Anthony Catholic Church, which was built in 1959.Most of Selz's residents are Catholic and German. Lawrence Welk would have felt at home here; his German-Russian ancestors came from the village of Selz in Russia.
Ruth Dosch works with the flower and seashell display in her yard.
Ruth Dosch takes a breather from mowing her lawn. She worries about the flowers around her house. "We got too much rain," she says. "It's hurting them."
The rain is hurting the farmers around Selz, too; the fields are drenched.
With all the water, it's appropriate that Ruth Dosch has a display of seashells in her yard. Her daughter in North Carolina brings them to her.
She's impressed by her neighbors. One of them is Jamey Weinmann. "He does things for me and he won't take a thing for it," she says.
Another neighbor, Raymond Martel, cleared a dead tree off her yard and fixed her car "and he wouldn't take anything, either," she says.

And this group apparently has taken yet another road trip to the happiest place on earth, outside of Las Vegas, of course. The Browns must own stock in Disneyland. If they don't, they should because it seems they drive down to Anaheim at least once a month to visit Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and the assorted Disney Princesses.
But this last trip was totally different. Who would've thunk that Kody would actually bring along ALL his wives and families on this Disneyland trip.
Front Desk: May I help you?
Kody Brown: Yes, I need rooms. (running hand through hair) Haha, I need a LOT of rooms!
Front Desk: Really, do you have a reservation?
Kody Brown: Look, I don't have time for small talk...don't you know who I am? (takes off sunglasses and strategically places them on top of his head to camouflage the ever growing bald spot in front)
Front Desk: Ah....actually no. What name is your reservation under?
Kody Brown: Look, I have a tv show...I have 4 wives and 17 children!
Front Desk: Oh yeah...hmmm...Sorry Mr Duggar. I don't have a reservation under your name.
Now for some reason, there's a gag order on fans reporting the Browns' whereabouts, especially if there are cameras in tow, on their offical Facebook fanpages -- you know, the one you have to be accepted as a friend in order to read. The funny thing is, if you follow the adult Browns and their female teens' twits on Twitter, you can pretty much figure out where in the world the Brown's are located, and with whom. Sometimes it seems like they make such a big deal over nothing. I mean, who do they think they are, Countess LuAnn?
And why has the wives' presence all but disappeared from the Facebook fanpage for those "friends only"? The admins don't even mention the Sunday night chats with the Sister Wives anymore. Even the My Sister Wife's Closet Facebook page is like a ghost town. Those hardcore fans don't give up though - they still post wanting to know when the show's coming back, or if new merchandise will be stocked in the online store soon, but usually the response from the Browns is one of no response. The silence is deafening.
One sure way to get a Brown response is to tweet them that you want to join their "management" team or want to know where their green koolaid can be purchased. Well, the Browns' still need to make a buck in order to afford those McMansions.
So, in lieu of having an actual conversation with the Browns, I decided to conduct a virtual interview.
Let's see what the Browns' have been up to, shall we?
Aspyn, I've noticed that you are an extreme fan of Disneyland. What makes Disneyland different from, let's say, Universal Studios?
— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) August 19, 2012
Really? But Universal Studios has fantastic attractions too, right?
Universal Studios has nowhere near the same feel as Disneyland. It's still fun though!I'm sure the execs at Universal Studios will be happy to hear that. Now, is this your first or second day here at Disneyland...
— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) August 23, 2012
Second day at Disneyland and I am insanely sunburned. Super psyched though!
— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) August 21, 2012
So sorry about your sunburn. Maybe Mariah can pick something up at Walmart to help you feel better...wait, Mariah's calling my cell right now!
Hey Mariah, what's happening? You've been gone for quite a while now and Aspyn's in pain!
I've been at a ghetto Walmart in Anaheim for over an hour😡
— Mariah Brown✨ (@mariahlian) August 20, 2012
Wow, that's kind of harsh. You know, I just have to ask, would your mother approve of your calling an Anaheim Walmart ghetto? This IS Orange County, after all, and I'm sure some people may perceive your statement as snobby. What would your mother say and did you find that special water you wanted...
I'm really glad my mother indulges my water snobbery problem.
— Mariah Brown (@mariahlian) August 20, 2012
But you just called a Walmart ghetto. Don't you think maybe your mother would be upset by your assessment?
I don't understand this woman.
— Mariah Brown (@mariahlian) August 19, 2012
Whatever, go back to shopping. Just hope the ghetto doesn't rub off on ya. Do you have anything else to add before you hangup?
I love that I'm staying in a hotel 6 minutes away from Disneyland☺
— Mariah Brown✨ (@mariahlian) August 20, 2012
Must not be in a ghetto. So back to you Aspyn, you seem to be overly excited. What's up?
I just met Princess Aurora! I'd say this day is pretty much perfection and it's still morning.Do you have any other plans for the day?
— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) August 24, 2012
Im going to meet Belle and The Beast. I am hoping that if I keep saying this, it will come true. I am going to meet Belle and The Beast!Well, good luck to you. Ah...I see your mother Christine has just stepped up. Christine, I know you and your sisterwife Robyn have had a rough time of it, but it seems everything is all right now. I've heard you dressed Truely up as Robyn this morning. Can you describe Truely's outfit to SWB readers and why Robyn inspired you?
— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) August 24, 2012
All the complications of being a girl; sunglasses, necklace, baby, purse, cellphone and keys.instagr.am/p/OouHV5x4rF/And how thoughtful that you remembered to include Sol! Speak of the devil, here's Meri and Robyn now! Robyn, can you tell me what Meri has around her neck, please.
— Christine Brown (@rosecolored6) August 22, 2012
Meri wearing the Claddagh Charm Holder Necklace and the My Sisterwife's Closet Pendant together.So cute!She ♡'s it! twitter.com/LuvgvsUwngs/st…
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) August 24, 2012
How nice for sales. Great to see the pendant and the charm holder together so one can tell just how tiny that Sisterwife's Closet Pendant really is...kind of small for $55, wouldn't you say?
— Aspyn Brown (@AspynBrown) August 24, 2012
Actually, I was hoping for a response from one of the sisterwives. Meri what are thoughts today?
Super hot day at Disneyland today, but having fun with all the kids!
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) August 20, 2012
That's nice. Well, I can't wait to meet up with you all at dinner tonight!
I'm with the Sisterwives at dinner. It's a new restaurant for Meri, so what are you thinking? I hear the shrimp is excellent here!
My first time at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. but I'm not a huge fan of shrimp. Hmm, what to do! twitter.com/MeriBrown1/sta…
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) August 24, 2012
Well, I think you will make do...say, you've got a really deep tan there, Meri. You are making Robyn look extremely pale in comparison! I know the sun's gone down but...damn!
Relax guys! I'm not as tan as it looks! Night time, bad lighting, Robyn's closer to the flash! It's seriously not that bad! :)
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) August 24, 2012
Whatever you say. Hey Robyn, do you have any last words? How's Sol doing?
My baby thinks he is big!He loves to stand up!He will be walking soon!:) twitter.com/LuvgvsUwngs/st…Nicely said, Robyn. Do you have anything else to say? I know how you like to have the last words...
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) August 21, 2012
I love it when I go to bed at night and know my kids had an awesome day and that I connected with them.I fall asleep smiling.Now was that just your biologicals or your bonus kids, too?
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) August 25, 2012
Hey, we haven't heard from Janelle. Janelle do you have any final words to say to SWB readers?
I wonder when "Please excuse me" was replaced by "Get the hell out of the way" - .Gee, I can't answer that, but I bet it may have been around the same time Kody decided to tell everyone how disgusting it was watching Christine eating chile cheese nachos.

So on that note, remember, I scour the internet so you don't have to!

Fix Non-SSL Elements on SSL Page
In order to support a shopping cart or some other WordPress plugin that requires or recommends running the site with an SSL certificate, you added a SSL certificate to your site. You test your site by loading "https://domain.com/" (where "domain.com" is your site's domain), and things look good at first.
You then notice that some browsers aren't too happy with you.
Firefox pops up a dialog box saying: "You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party."
Chrome shows a warning symbol over the SSL padlock and says: "Your connection to domain.com is encrypted with 256-bit encryption. However, this page includes other resources which are not secure."
Internet Explorer 8 has a "Security Warning" dialog box that says: "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely? This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage."
This issue is caused by having an image, CSS, JS, or other similar file that is loaded as part of the site that does not load by using the SSL connection. Here's an example of what I mean.
You have your site at "domain.com", and you just loaded your site by going to "https://domain.com/". When this issue happens, it means at least one element on the page is loading with a URL of "http://domain.com/image.jpg". Since this "image.jpg" file is loading with "http://" instead of "https://", it will not have the data transfer encrypted. Since not all of the elements on the page are sent via an encrypted channel, your browser will notify you of this as it may be an issue if you rely on having all the information encrypted.
Unfortunately, WordPress can cause this issue by itself as it won't automatically try to ensure that a secure page request contains only secure page elements. In particular, if you upload an image when in the WordPress back-end when not on a secure connection, that image will always be displayed using an insecure URL.
Solution #1
The best way to address this issue in my opinion (this is Chris Jean) is to force the site to always use SSL. This means that when you are administering your site -- sending your user name and password to log in, changing plugin configurations, updating passwords, saving PayPal configurations, etc -- this data is always encrypted (it isn't by default). In addition, it means that when users are browsing your site, any potentially-sensitive information stored in cookies will also be encrypted.
In other words, by encrypting everything on the site, you are assured that sensitive information that your server sends or a user sends to the server will always be secure. When you run a site with a store or other system where privacy is very important, having too much security is always better than not enough.
There are two steps getting your site to have complete encryption: update WordPress to always use secure links and modify the .htaccess file to force an SSL connection.
Updating WordPress Settings
It is important that you do this step first. Doing these steps out of order can cause problems.
Log into your site and go to the "General Settings" page (Settings > General). Update both the "WordPress address" and "Site address" URLs to use the "https://" protocol rather than "http://".
For example:
Make sure that you click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the screen. After making this change, you will probably need to log in again. This is normal.
Updating an Existing .htaccess File
In your sites main directory, such as "/home/domain.com/public_html" or "/home/cpaneluser/public_html/domain", you should find a ".htaccess" file. If you don't, skip to the next section.
Open up the .htaccess file and find a section that looks like the following.
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
Update this section to include the two new lines added below.
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
Test this change to make sure that your site still works properly. If it does not, remove the change, and see the section below on troubleshooting.
You should now be able to have your site automatically redirect from "http://domain.com/" to the secure "https://domain.com/". Your site will now force all connections to be secure.
Add a New .htaccess File
If you already updated your .htaccess file, skip this section.
If your site does not have a .htaccess file, one will have to be created. This file will reside in your site's main directory, such as "/home/domain.com/public_html" or "/home/cpaneluser/public_html/domain".
Create a new .htaccess file in your site's main directory with the following contents.
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
Once you have this file in place in your site's main directory, test to make sure that your site still works properly. If it does not, remove the new .htaccess file, and see the section below on troubleshooting.
You should now be able to have your site automatically redirect from "http://domain.com/" to the secure "https://domain.com/". Your site will now force all connections to be secure.
Solution #2
Another solution is to add the following plugin to your site. While this is somewhat easier, it adds processing overhead and more increased memory consumption to each site load. This means that your site will be slightly slower and will consume more server resources.
Beyond the performance limitation, this code does nothing to protect your login details or the data you send while administering the site.
Plugin ZIP: Fix SSL/Non-SSL Links
With this plugin active, two things will happen on all page loads:
- If the page request is secure, all instances of "http://domain.com/" will be replaced with "https://domain.com/" where "domain.com" is the site's address.
- If the page request is note secure, all instances of "https://domain.com/" will be replaced with "http://domain.com/" where "domain.com" is the site's address.
In other words, this plugin will force all image, CSS, and JS file requests inside the HTML page produced by WordPress to have a protocol ("http://" or "https://") that matches the page request's protocol.
Neither solution will modify links to content outside the site. So, if you or another plugin link to a remote jQuery JS file, image, etc using an insecure link, this plugin cannot fix this issue as it does not know if a secure version exists. These issues will have be dealt with by modifying your custom plugin or theme code or contacting the developer that made the code to ask for a fix.
If modifying your .htaccess file causes errors, contact your hosting company. Send them the modification you are trying to make and details about the problems that you had. Hopefully they can help you modify the change to fit their hosting requirements.

TITLE THAILAND Guide To Travel Thailand
The first-class royal monastery, the temple houses Phra Pathom Chedi, the largest pagoda in Thailand and the official provincial symbol of Nakhon Pathom.
The present Phra Pathom Chedi was built during the reign of King Rama IV in 1853, under his royal command, the new Chedi was constructed to cover the former Chedi of which the shape was of an upside down bell with a Prang top. It is assumed that the former Chedi was dated back to 539 AD as the upside-down-bell-shaped Chedi has a similar style to the Sanchi Chedi in India, built in the reign of King Asoka. The construction of the new huge Chedi was completed in the reign of King Rama V in 1870 AD. In total, it took 17 years to build.
The completed Chedi became a circular one that covers an upside-down, Lankan style, bell-shaped Chedi. The height from bottom to a top crown is about 120.45 metres, and 233.50 metres diameter at the base.
During the reign of King Rama VI, Wat Phra Pathom Chedi was renovated and later became the royal temple of the King. Within the monastery compound, the sacred Chedi houses Lord Buddha's relics. There are various interesting historical items, including the Phra Ruang Rodjanarith, an image of Buddha bestowing pardon, is enshrined in a vihara located in the North and in front of Phra Pathom Chedi
The casting of this Buddha image was done during the reign of King Rama VI at Wat Phra Chettuphon in 1913: the image's head, hand, and feet were brought from Muang Srisatchanalai, Sukhothai. Under royal command, a wax sculpture of the Buddha image was moulded. Later, the Buddha image was enshrined in the vihara, located on the north at the top of a huge staircase. The King granted this Buddha image the name "Phra Rung Rodjanarith Sri-intharathit Thammamopas Mahavachiravuth Rachpuchaniyabopitr". The relics of King Rama VI are housed at its base.
Wat Phra Pathom Chedi Museum is located in the East of the church, housing artefacts and historical remains which were discovered during the excavations in Nakhon Pathom including the coffin and funeral ritual set that were used in Ya-Lei's cremation ceremony. Ya-Lei is a dog very dear to King Rama VI but was shot and died. The King was much saddened and commanded to building of a monument for Ya-Lei as a token of his grief.
Another visit-worthy is the National Museum of Phra Pathom Chedi which located in the South of Pathom Chedi compound. A two-storey modern Thai building houses artefacts and historical remains, most of which dates back to Dvaravati period and were found during excavations in Nakhon Pathom.

For a Pap test, your healthcare provider will collect and examine cells from your cervix. The cervix is the opening to the uterus. He or she will do this test to screen for cervical cancer and other problems.
It's important to talk with your healthcare provider about when and how often you should have a Pap test. Experts base screening guidelines on your age and risk factors for cervical cancer.
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), guidelines include:
A Pap test, along with a pelvic exam, is an important part of your routine healthcare. It can help find abnormal cells that can lead to cancer. Your healthcare provider can find most cancers of the cervix early if you have regular Pap tests and pelvic exams. Cancer of the cervix is more likely to be successfully treated if it is found early.
The Pap test is useful for finding cancerous cells, and other cervical and vaginal problems such as precancerous cells and inflammation.
Your healthcare provider may use a Pap test to diagnose the following conditions:
Your healthcare provider may do a test for the human papilloma virus (HPV) at the same time as a Pap test. Infection with HPV is the most important risk factor for cervical cancer in women over age 30.
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a Pap test.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are allergic to or sensitive to latex.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you might be.
There may be other risks based on your condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
Certain things may interfere with a Pap test including:
Procedures may vary based on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a Pap test follows this process:
You may rest for a few minutes after the procedure before going home. Scraping the cervix may cause a small amount of bleeding. You may want to wear a sanitary pad for any spotting that may occur.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any of the following:
Pap test results usually take a few days. Ask your healthcare provider how you will be hear back about the results.
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions after the procedure, based on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:
Stay Informed.

HSBC Rugby Sevens World Series Grows to 10 Rounds
The International Rugby Board (IRB) has again expanded the HSBC Sevens World Series, with Argentina joining as a 10th venue on the upcoming 2012/13 Series.
La Plata will play host to some of the finest Sevens players on the planet for the second round of the upcoming Series on 20-21 October 2012, one week after the Gold Coast Sevens kicks off the new season in Australia.
A stellar 2012/13 Sevens season will be further enhanced by Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013 in Moscow on 28-30 June, while the inaugural IRB Women's Sevens Series will also kick off.
Argentina's addition to the list of global hot spots signals the return of the Series to South America for the first time since 2002. It also means that every continent now hosts at least one round of the HSBC Sevens World Series with tournaments in Africa (1), Asia (3), Europe (2), Oceania (2), North America (1) and South America (1).
The announcement comes at an exciting time for the Series and for Argentina with the South Americans set to make their Rugby Championship debut next month alongside Australia, South Africa and Rugby World Cup 2011 champions New Zealand.
IRB Chairman Bernard Lapasset said, "I am delighted that Argentina is joining the impressive list of spectacular global destinations that comprise the record-breaking HSBC Sevens World Series. These are exciting times for South America, where participation has grown by 25% in the last four years owing to the prestige and profile of Rugby World Cup, the IRB and CONSUR's investment and development strategies and Olympic Games inclusion.
"Argentina continues to be the beating heart of the South American success story and we very much look forward to working in partnership with the Argentine Rugby Union and the Argentina government to deliver an event that will capture hearts and minds, benefit rugby throughout the region and mark another significant milestone as we countdown to Sevens' Olympic Games debut in Rio in 2016."

BIOAGE needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 212 designs submitted by 50 freelance designers.
Following is our rating system for this contest:
1 Star - Wrong direction and completely missing the mark.
2 Stars - Interesting but still not right.
3 Stars - Getting closer, will probably need revisions or a different take to hit the right design.
4 Stars - You have definitely peaked our interest and your design is very close.
5 Stars - You got it - it's in the running for the finish line!
Following is an example of the type of icon (non-gender specific and more graphic - as in not so detailed) we really like: http://images.aboutus.org/images/8/…pa-com.jpg
We have an existing health icon that needs a face lift. We would ultimately like to see a new design as we are tired of the old one. We get thousands of hits everyday at our website and it is expanding rapidly so we need this design to portray lots and lots of ENERGY!!!.
Awaken Your Body
We would like a great designer to take our existing icon and make it better—period! Since we do not have the vector files we need you to recreate it from scratch and add your special touch so the design comes to life.
A nice clean enhancement to our existing logo. We would also like to keep the same colors, although we are open to seeing new colors as long as they are vibrant and work well with the redesign.
Anything too far from what we presently have.
