Compare Credit Cards Interest Rates
The interest rates displayed on this website are for informational purposes only and may be used as a general guide to compare interest rates. Although every care is taken in presenting this credit card comparison, InterestRateComparison.com.au cannot guarantee the correctness of values displayed here, and you should always check rates and fees with your provider before making any financial decisions.
Credit Card Comparison Guide
Different types of credit cards have different pros and cons. Before you compare credit cards side-by-side you really need to know what it is you wish to get out of your new card. Are you looking to transfer a balance from an old card to a new, much lower interest rate, or are you looking to use it for everyday spending?
This can make a huge difference to the fees associated with credit cards, because if you transfer over to a card that has a low transfer balance interest rate and use it for everyday spending, you will probably find that the interest rate on everyday spending is much higher than that of a card that is specifically designed for that purpose. Like wise for rewards centric cards, you would find that if you transferred the balance of another card over, you would be paying far more in interest costs than if you chose a card specifically for that purpose.
Something else to take into consideration when looking for a credit card to use for everyday spending is the amount of interest free days allocated. This figure indicates the number of days after spending money on an item or items that you have to pay that amount off before you start to get charged interest for that same amount. Effectively what this means is that you can 'shift' your expenses by up to 55 days, as you are still paying the same amount, but allowing extra time to do so.
When looking for a card for everyday speding it may be important to take into consideration the rewards available to you for set amounts of spending during the month. Most rewards based credit cards will provide you with interest free days anyway, but some will provide you with extra benefits such as air points or other rewards based on the amount you spend each month. This can be advantagious when using the card as described above to 'shift' your spending, as you are still only paying the same as you would with cash, but are also reaping extra benefits from your spending.
Be Wary of Credit Card Interest
The interest rate offered for a credit card can generally be changed without notice by the credit card company. The most common causes for changing the credit card's rate are late payments, over the limit balances and rising Reserve Bank interest rates. Credit card companies do list the maximum allowable interest rate in their terms and conditions and this should be reviewed prior to becoming a card holder.

Leadership should be something that concerns itself with the betterment of the group and not with just themselves. "Self-less Leadership" can be a rare thing indeed but they tend to be the most respected among all others. Unfortunately this is a rare thing I think.
Which brings me on to my next point, yes I agree with your statement here wolf 560. In an ideal world this would be so. IMHO most of our personal work is examining the 'self', obviously within our OBOD teachings on these issues . I can't go into detail here but you will know what I mean if you have undertaken the course. OBOD has a clear anti hierarchy stand. Yes there are organisers for events, admin duties etc but this is different to the role of leader, teacher, healer etc. Each title comes with great responsibility and self examination is necessary. Good intentions often escalate into ego feeders. The best leaders IMHO lead quietly, intelligently and respectfully. This is not to say that you were not one of the latter, these are just a few of my observations.
I have been a member of a very large worldwide Pagan outfit ( more than 300) I trained and worked the wheel of the year with them. I noticed that for a non hierarchical organisation with good intentions, things had become materialistic, profit making, controlling, nepotistic, hierarchical and very cult like. There was a high drop out rate and all sorts of shenhanigans were going on amongst the top notch there. The tutors were often condescending and bullying...I could write a (not for profit!) book. The crowning glory was the invention of a Goddess,a creation myth which was sold to any naive person. I checked with Isaac Bonewits cult recognition formula. It ticked most of the boxes.Nuff said.So why did I stay for the year? I met some great people, I did learn a lot in spite of everything but not because of everything. Some of the teachings were good, after all not everything is good or bad and I dedicated to the Goddess in a way that I would not have been able to in a small outfit. My relationship is in fact with Her.

Ok, this means the last two rows, 24 times each and not just 24 additional rows. right? cause im at row 24 and i count 31 stitches.
Yep. You're working 48 total rows, because it's two rows times 24.

Tamron's 60th Anniversary Model:
Unparalleled optical performance in a fast and steady telephoto zoom: In the pursuit to achieve the most outstanding image resolution in the 70-300mm class, Tamron's Anniversary lens - the SP AF70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD (Model A005) - utilizes an advanced optical design that features an LD (Low Dispersion) and an XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lens element made from specialized materials that prevent chromatic aberration. As a result, the SP AF70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD (Model A005) boasts sharper contrast and greater descriptive performance than all others in its class. In addition, it is the first Tamron lens sporting a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), Tamron's very own ultrasonic auto-focus drive mechanism This USD mechanism delivers fast focusing, making it a perfect telephoto zoom choice for photographing sports, racing, or other fast-moving subjects. The lens also boasts Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization to assist in handheld photography, not only at long focal length ranges where blurring is common, but also under low-lit conditions, dramatically enhancing photographic freedom. This combination of best in class image resolution, Ultrasonic Silent Drive and Vibration Compensation is a new achievement of Tamron technology culminating in the production of a premium 70 300mm telephoto zoom lens.
Compatible Mount Canon, Nikon and Sony**
* Values given are for Canon AF mount
**The Sony mount does not include the VC image stabilization functionality, as the body of Sony digital SLR cameras contains built-in image stabilization functionality.

Great lens, Great seller
By PFX Photo
from Geneseo, NY
About Me Semi-pro Photographer
Comments about Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD for Canon EOS, With 6-Year USA Warranty:
Amazing lens for the price. The VC is amazing and allows me to get crisp pictures every time. I had the non VC version and had plenty of blur, now I get sharp photos. Amazing for hand holding too. I took a picture, indoors, low light, and was able to go down to 1/4 sec handheld and it came out perfect.
I would recommend this lens

About Me Photo Enthusiast
This is an awesome lens, the zoom has allowed me to capture many natual shots of wildlife from a distance as to not disturb them. The clariety and color remain after cropping. For the price of this lense I am very pleased.
Great lens!

Tamron 70-300 lens
By Photoman
from Louisville, ky
The lens is very good for the cost. I do find the lens to be a little slow to focus. I would recommend this lens over the Canon 70-300mm this lens has better optics.
The Perfect Fit
By The Met
from New York City
Needed for individual shots of performers to use in programs and brochures. Wanted good focal length plus use in available light. Got exactly what I wanted.
The best tele lens I have used.
By Frank the shutter bug
from Spring Hill, FL
I purchased this lens to use during my granddaughters soccer matches, at night, using only high school stadium lighting. I was using a Canon 55-250 IS lens, however it was not good enough for close up shots during the game. This lens on my Canon EOS T3i ASP-C is equivilent to a 105-465 mm. The auto focus is fast, even in low light conditions. The picture sharpness is superior to that of the Canon 250. The VC works great, affording an almost full 4 F-Stop motion adjustment. The only con is the weight. However, one would expect that in a lens made so well and can be overcome with proper holding of the lens and camera. I was amazed that a lens of this caliber cost so little. And, a full 6 year warranty. I love it.

A beautiful lens. Meets all my needs for this zoom range on my canon 60D. Incredible bang for your buck, especially with [@]'s current pricing and service.
my 2nd Tamron next to my 18-250mm Macro
By CaFe_Barako
from Charlotte , Nc
Far better then my Canon 70-300
Great product from a 3rd party lens comp
By The only desi
from Minneapolis
I bought this lens as a replacement for my Canon 75-300 USM which did not have the IS feature. I am quite amazed at what Tamron has produced. For this price, this lens is impossible to beat. It has super quick focusing even in low light and the images are razor sharp between f5.6 and f11. Also the VC works like magic. Yes there is a little bit softness at f4.0 and beyond f11 especially at 300mm but it has never been an issue for me.I would give it 4.5 stars and not 5 just because of the fact that when the hood is reversed it make zooming impossible. It is definitely not a show stopper and is something that Tamron could start thinking about how to address in their future releases.The bokeh is good, quality is way better than my Canon 75-300 and still light enough to be a travel lens.I agree that this is not a fast lens and is not suitable for low light action photography outdoors or indoors but hey there are specific lenses available for that purpose which cost at least 3-4 times as much so anyone who tries to compare this with an f2.8 lens is not doing apples to apples comparison.

Ways For Kids to Feed Wild Critters
Birds, squirrels and other animals are fattening up for the long, cold winter. Give them a hand with these easy and fun projects.
Fall has definitely hit Wisconsin, and as we pull our mittens, hats, scarves and winter jackets out of storage, our animal friends are putting their winter coats on, too.
For them, that means eating. And eating. And eating.
Here are three fun projects you can do yourself or with children to help feed the animals, plus a bonus project to preserve a bit of fall's beauty.
Snack-O-Lantern: Don't throw out that jack-o-lantern! Fill it with Indian corn, seeds, fruit and/or nuts and leave it out for the squirrels. Ranger Rick magazine has easy-to-follow directions.
Pine cone bird feeder: We've done this several times, and it's messy, but LOTS of fun. You need twine or string, wax paper, a spoon or butter knife, pinecones, peanut butter and bird seed. Lay the wax paper out on your work surface, then spread peanut butter all over the pine cone. Roll it in the birdseed so the seeds stick to the peanut butter. Once it's done, take it outside and use the string to hang it from a branch. You can find detailed directions for this project and a way to make your own suet feeder at the DNR's Environmental Education for Kids site.
Popcorn and cranberry bird garland: This is another one we really enjoy. You need: Fresh cranberries, popped popcorn (no salt and no butter), a sewing needle and thread. If you're doing this with little ones, you can use a blunted tapestry needle and heavier string or yarn. Use the needle and thread to string the popcorn and cranberries into a garland. Hang outside for the birds and squirrels to enjoy. Instructables has great directions. Their directions include the option of using beads, which is not safe for garlands that will be hung outside.
And the bonus, from Destination Nature, with directions on how to preserve fall leaves with paraffin wax. I've never done this, but it looks like a fabulous way to get some extra life out of the colored leaves still on the sidewalk or falling off the trees.

Anything in the city is hardly "natural." Good to let kids learn kindness and see urban wildlife up close.
Jim Price
12:50 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
My only concern about this is that I've always been told popcorn (as in the garland) was a very poor bird food. In the winter, they need calorie-dense foods, and popcorn just fills them up but offers little in the way of energy or nutrients.

We the Geeks: Building a 21st Century Resume
Posted byon June 19, 2013 at 4:50 PM EDTWatch "We the Geeks" on a 21st Century Resume live on Thursday, June 20th, at 2:00 p.m. EDT at WH.gov/WeTheGeeks. Join the conversation and ask your questions with the hashtag #WeTheGeeks. Sign up to get email updates about future hangouts.
In the same way that "merit badges" have been used by the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and medals have been used by the military to demonstrate achievement, a growing number of foundations, government agencies, companies and non-profits are exploring "digital badges" as the 21st century equivalent of a resume-builder that students and workers can use to showcase their skills, encourage their peers, and find meaningful educational and employment opportunities.
With support from the MacArthur Foundation, the Mozilla Foundation, and others, digital badges are being used to:
- Recognize student accomplishments in technical fields such as computer science and robotics;
- Help veterans get jobs by demonstrating the valuable real-world skills they've acquired in the military;
- Inspire students as part of a larger effort to reduce the number of high-school dropouts, which today number more than 1 million per year.
While much work is yet to be done to build an evidence base for the value of badges in various contexts, the badges movement is growing. In March, the City of Chicago, Mozilla, MacArthur, and 143 other organizations launched the "Summer of Learning." The effort will recognize student learning whether it occurs at a park, museum, library or online course – and give learners digital credentials that communicate the skills they have developed. And just last week, MacArthur announced a major multi-year goal: to work with partners to give two million more students and adults access to compelling digital badges that help them achieve education and employment goals.
Building on the President Obama's call to action to look for new and creative ways to engage students in hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities, as well as his ConnectEd plan to deliver high-speed Internet to 99% of American students, some Federal agencies are exploring the potential of badges as well. From a major topic at the Department of Education's Reimagining Education conference last month to the work by NASA to create space explorer badges, a number of Federal agencies are exploring digital badges in both education and employment.
On Thursday, June 20th, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, the White House will host a "We The Geeks" Google+ Hangout on digital badges. During a conversation moderated by OSTP's Tom Kalil, we'll be talking about the potential of digital badges to help students and adults with:
- Erin Knight, Sr. Director of Learning & Badges, Mozilla Foundation
- Connie Yowell, Director of Education for U.S. Programs, MacArthur Foundation
- Bryan Norato, student, University of Rhode Island
- Richard Culatta, Acting Director, Office of Educational Technology, Department of Education
Watch the "We the Geeks" Hangout live on WhiteHouse.gov/WeTheGeeks and on the White House Google+ page on Thursday. Got questions and comments? Use the hashtag #WeTheGeeks on Twitter and on Google+ and we'll answer some during the live Hangout.

Posted byon June 19, 2013 at 3:50 PM EDTOpen Data took another leap forward at this week's G8 Summit in Long Erne, Northern Ireland, as member countries signed an Open Data Charter to spur the release and use of government-held data to advance economic opportunity, spur innovation, and increase accountability around the world.
The Open Data Charter outlines principles that member countries—the US, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Japan–will act on, including an expectation that all government data will be published openly by default, and that signatories will work to increase the quality, quantity, and re-use of released data.
The G8 Open Data charter builds upon recent historic steps the US has taken domestically. On May 9, 2013, President Obama signed Executive Order 13462, Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information, directing efforts to make government-held data more accessible to the public and to entrepreneurs and others as fuel for innovation and economic growth.
When the Federal Government decided years ago to make weather data from satellites and ground stations public, it gave rise to an entire economic sector that has contributed billions to the economy and today includes weather newscasts, weather apps, commercial agricultural advisory services, and new insurance options—in addition to the vast public benefits derived from those activities. And more recently, as demonstrated by the fourth annual Health Datapalooza, we have seen entrepreneurs using open health data to power applications and services that help people throughout the country make informed healthcare decisions. Open government data from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other agencies is central to the data-powered revolution underway in health care today.

Posted byon June 18, 2013 at 3:45 PM EDTDo you remember a moment when a mentor, teacher, or friend opened up your eyes to something that changed your life? Do you remember a wide-eyed moment when the impossible became possible and it put you on a path of discovery and maybe even helped put you on the career path you are on today?
Heroes across the country help create these incredible moments every day. Many are working hard to connect and spark young minds to get excited about technology through mentoring; many others are dreaming up the technology tools themselves that can spark imagination and wonder. These champions are inspiring students to get excited about becoming the developers, engineers, and innovators who will create solutions to some of our toughest challenges.
This July, the White House will host a "Champions of Change" event on Tech Inclusion. This event will celebrate and honor local change-agents who are making these moments of wonder and discovery happen for kids – specifically those making a difference for kids from communities underrepresented in technology, like girls and minorities.
And today, we're asking you to help us identify these standout local leaders by nominating a Champion of Change for Tech Inclusion by July 1st.
New Tools to Help the Hungry and Malnourished
Posted byon June 18, 2013 at 12:43 PM EDTPoor nutrition causes nearly half of deaths in children under five – 3.1 million children globally each year – and prevents the minds and bodies of another 165 million children from reaching their full potential. In addition, nutrition is a serious economic issue: experts estimate that undernutrition reduces national economic advancement in Africa and Asia by 8% each year. Thankfully, we know a lot about what works to improve nutrition, including the fact that intervention must occur during the first 1,000 days of life or damage is irreversible. We also know that addressing nutrition is one of the most cost-effective investments available: for every $1 invested in nutrition, as much as $138 is generated in better health and productivity.
Last week, following the publishing of a new series on maternal and child nutrition in the medical journal The Lancet , governments, donors, non-profits, academia, and the private sector came together to focus on undernutrition at events in London and Washington, DC. The events provided an opportunity for the United States and other participants to highlight existing and planned actions to address undernutrition. US Agency for International Development Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah highlighted the investments the US Government is making in nutrition as part of the Presidential Feed the Future and Global Health Initiatives: over the three-year period of fiscal years 2012-2014, these investments total $1 billion for nutrition-specific interventions and nearly $9 billion for activities in other sectors that also improve nutrition.
The US and the UK governments also announced they are seeking partners to launch a Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition Initiative this fall to increase the quality, quantity, and timeliness of available data that can help support agriculture and nutrition efforts, and also increase the number and diversity of stakeholders who are applying data-based solutions to improve agriculture and nutrition. This is an initiative that will be tremendously exciting – if you or your organization is interested in learning more, please visit the initiative website.
Learn more aboutInnovators Address the Wage Gap with Apps and Open Data
Posted byon June 17, 2013 at 12:33 PM EDTLast week, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Equal Pay Act by President Kennedy, President Obama recognized innovators who have used open government data to build tools that address the wage gap.
That gap has grown considerably smaller since the Kennedy era, but it has not disappeared. In 2011, for example, a typical 25 year-old woman working full-time, year-round, will have already earned $5,000 less than a typical 25 year-old man. If that woman were to face the same wage gap for each year going forward, then by age 35 she will have earned $33,600 less than a typical 35 year-old man. By age 65, that earnings gap will have ballooned to $389,300.

Posted byon June 17, 2013 at 9:14 AM EDTOSTP today released the National Biosurveillance Science and Technology Roadmap, which identifies and prioritizes research and development (R&D) needs with the goal of giving decision makers and responders the information they need to protect the public from biological threats.
Biological threats such as the H7N9 influenza virus and the novel coronavirus recently identified in the Middle East—as well as those resulting from accidental releases or exposures or intentional, malevolent activities—have the potential to erupt suddenly and evolve quickly. Surveillance is essential for predicting, preventing, and mitigating the impacts of such events.
The Roadmap, drafted by the interagency Biosurveillance Science and Technology Working Group under the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Homeland and National Security, builds upon the National Strategy for Biosurveillance, published in July 2012. That document recognized that a well-integrated national biosurveillance enterprise can save lives by providing timely and accurate information for better decision making. The Roadmap identifies R&D priorities and objectives to enable implementation of the Strategy, such as:

Hi everyone I am helping my friend decorate her apartment. She loves cars...vintage cars to be exact. I want to decorate either the living room or bathroom with this theme. What are some ideas for going about this without the theme being too overwhelming? Thanks! | |||
I guess it would depend on her decorating style, traditional, eclectic, modern...etc. What type of furniture does she have? Pictures of the furniture and/or rooms may help. | ||||
One fun thing is to make wall "sconces" with car outdoor view mirrors. And of course the obvious tire rim wall hanging.This message has been edited. Last edited by: arepo, | ||||
Welcome. How nice of you to help your friend decorate. The first idea that popped into my head was to find a photo op where your friend can actually sit in or stand by (pose) a vintage car and have the photo enlarged to hang as a unique piece of art in her apartment. BTW, the car she selects as her prop should be in a favorite color that is echoed in her room scheme. She may even opt to dress the era. She should check to see when local auto shows are scheduled for her area. Explain to the owner what her plans are and if she's in luck, she'll have a personal piece of art that will become the showpiece of her living room. FYI, my DS's wedding includes a group photo of him, his bride and the wedding party posed as gangsters in formal attire beside vintage cars DIL's dad painstaking refurbished over the years. | ||||
Don't know what your friend means by "vintage" cars, but if you go to an antiques type mall you can find old magazines that would have lots of images of old cars in them. Here is one way I used such an image. This is a glass over a mirror. The mirror has the images glued to it. | ||||
Better yet, Froo, I bet there is an antique car owner somewhere nearby. these people love their cars so much they gladly would allow such a photo to be taken! We have such an acquaintance here and I'm sure he would be willing. | ||||
LOS, that's always an option. A car club in her area can direct her to locals who may be ready, willing and able to assist in this photo op. | ||||
Does she happen to have any family photos by vintage cars that could be enlarged/framed? That could be doubly special! | ||||
Vintage license plates might also be an option, grouped together. | ||||

My Stir Fry Shrimp...
The finished product...
We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder.We always have the choice.
You may be right
I would be very hungry after that meal because I would just be picking out the mushrooms. But I already told you I didn't like shrimp.
Bring on the desserts, Dave! We can take it.
Don't believe everything you think.
My only claim to fame is my Chocolate Decadence Cheesecake. My wife makes some pretty good baked goods (cookies, muffins and such). She makes a damn good banana bread.
Tonight's dinner...My own Chili Verde...
First we brown the pork in cumin, salt, oregano, and pepper
Toss the browned pork into a Crock Pot and cover w/ a good Mexican beer. I prefer Pacifico...
Then, in the same pan that you brown the pork in, saute the onions, garlic, and diced chilis. Once sauteed, transfer to crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours...
The finished product w/ garden tomatillo sauce alongside handmade corn/flour tortillas, and a nice mixed green salad in a lime/cilantro/balsamic viniagrette dressing...
Dave, you need to host a race & be in charge of the post-race food tent. We will all be at the finish line with our forks & napkins.
Mmmmmm. Food....
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Where'd your pics go, Dave?

Parmesan cheese?
Runners run.
That is my favorite kind of protein powder.
Singer who doesn't run.
Yes. Our chickens, fruit, & veggies are all organic. They kind of all take care of each other, with the chickens fertilizing the plants & eating the bugs, and the plants providing some goodies for the chickens in terms of fallen fruit. My neighbor, who is in his late 80's, swears that earthworms were introduced to MT in my backyard, and also that our soil is perfect for growing marijuana. We do have a lot of earthworms, but I think he may have smoked a little too much marijuana in his day. The only intoxicant in our garden is the aroma of the strawberries when the sun hits them in July.
I can only manage to grow deer in my garden. It doesn't matter what I plant, only the deer grow.
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

Please stop using Twitter Bootstrap
Let's be honest: a great many of us are tired of seeing the same old Twitter Bootstrap theme again and again. Black header, giant hero, rounded blue buttons, Helvetica Neue.
Yes, you can customize the header to be a different color, maybe re-color some of the buttons, use a different font. Ultimately, however, that doesn't change anything—it still looks like Bootstrap.
I get it, really. Twitter Bootstrap is great for developers; all of the pieces are nicely laid out for you, use a consistent design language, and piece together like Lego. No design sense needed and no creativity involved. You just import the CSS file and go.
But when you start to see the same layout over, and over, and over again users begin to tune out. You've lost me. Your design looks like one of 6,000 other sites out there. And not just the same general layout, but the exact same components.
The problem with Bootstrap is that it is so heavy-handed, so prescriptive, that it is actually a nuisance to modify. It's easier to use the defaults. You certainly can modify it signficantly and, if you decide to use it anyway, I would encourage you to do so. But most people do not bother.
There are some times it is appropriate to use Twitter Bootstrap's defaults. Like for an admin dashboard, an open source project's documentation, a prototype, or a weekend hackathon. However, once you go beyond the stage of small test project, it's time to think beyond the black header, blue buttons, and grey 1px outlined boxes.
Twitter Bootstrap's success has turned it into the Times New Roman of design. It has a time and a place, but you wouldn't use Times New Roman on your startup's website, would you?

And most of the bootstrap plugins don't work as expected. To make it work one must google all the time for solutions to basic problems on web page. Although layouting works great, plugins are still in alpha release. Might be production ready in two or three years time.

I recently found this responsive grid framework that doesn't have all of the unwanted bootstrap styles called Thumper. Also another great alternative to bootstrap is Zurb Foundation 3.
Matt Raible replied on Wed, 2013/02/27 - 9:57am
Saying don't use Twitter Bootstrap for webapps is like saying don't use iOS's default look and feel for iOS apps. I think it's a nice baseline, just like iOS's defaults.
Of course it's recommended you innovate beyond the Bootstraps defaults. However, in most cases, that's like asking programmers to become designers.

Vineet Sinha replied on Wed, 2013/02/27 - 10:43am
If the main point is to customize bootstrap - I agree.
But just because of this one small problem (laziness of site creators), you can't really argue that people should not use Bootstrap. Because your main point otherwise is 'you are lazy, so stop doing the stuff to improve your site'.
Vineet Sinha replied on Wed, 2013/02/27 - 10:48am in response to: Matt Raible
I like bootstrap because its prescriptive nature defines the interface from the developer to the designer.
A developer can code to just the default bootstrap API, a designer can submit what the appearance should look like, and finally a third person (usually another developer with css/psd understanding) can override bootstrap's defaults to make the designer and developer talk to one another.
Leo Cabral replied on Wed, 2013/02/27 - 11:17am in response to: Vineet Sinha
I agree with you. I see bootstrap as a lego of interface design patterns. We can see it working well in third party components along the Web (datepickers, input masks, upload widgets). But batteries are not included (I think thats Joshua's point). So the lazy ones will all look alike, as we can see today.

I heavily customized a Bootstrap layout for an intranet in early 2012. At the time, the JS widgets interfered with jQuery so much that I had to completely rewrite them. It's easy enough to at least modify the colors using LESS variables. I ended up using a lot of the ideas in Bootstrap, but not as much of the implementation. That being said, many who use the framework aren't that interested in heavy customization. Maybe they're developers who know HTML but aren't adept at design. Maybe they just want to get up and running, and don't have designers at their disposal.
We'd all like to have a great design person/team to create that uniquely incredible UI, but I've been in many scenarios where that just wasn't the case. Bootstrap seems to be aimed at that type of scenario. If it works there, catgorically poo-pooing its use serves to create animosity at the end of the day. If not for Bootstrap, some people would be looking for a like option. Bootstrap fits a niche; I say let it. Those that take a different direction are that much more likely to be noticed for a unique design.
Whatever the era, some designs will fall into a sort of common denominator. Bootstrap is serving to create the denominator at present. It's not an altogether bad thing if you ask me. If otherwise developers perceive a high barrier to using responsive design sprinkled with HTML5, at least the project is moving things forward a bit.

Of course they will go beyond twitter bootstrap when they needed or felt it's time to do so. But you can't teach them if they need or not. Annoyed by tons of copies? Then you just have found tons of needlessness, which implies most people don't feel annoyance yet but you do.

Serious, is quite a scary warrior, why you ask? because he takes stuff out of forums, and beyond the internet, Serious angers quite easily, and will even cry about stuff on the internet, many warriors apologize, or dont flame him at all, Serious might track IPs, and track street adresses and etc, while rare, they can make a forum die, because of fear.
Trouble is someone who loves to see a fight, he will send gossip to other members on chat programs, and try to get some huge flame wars to begin, however he dose not want to see a forum end, he just wants to see people dukeing it out for something that is not true, and make others hate eachother, unsupriseingly, the rebel leader is his biggest ally, he will try and get Trouble to work for him, Trouble is very clever, and can cause entire forums to fall apart if he wants, and even websites to fall, he can make allys become enemies and enemies become allys, however he himself dose not fight, if he dose, people might figure out his secret, and he dont want that.
Anyway, please leave questions or comments.

I once saw a board fall apart because a semi-serious posted a 'RL name', and then a psycho-serious used said name to find homepages, addresses, etc and post it to the forum at large.
The target then tried to get a lawyer involved citing the flame and dirt dug up on her could damage her business (also dragged before the forum)
It was quite entertaining.

Serious is the most despicable of all flame warriors. I really hate these guys, on a personal level. Not using hyperbole. As they can neither win the war of words nor ideas they try to transition to real life bullying and intimidation. Pure scum.
I wonder what the most common examples of Serious are... perhaps corporations (in their capacity as 'a legal person') and litigious individuals, although unscrupulous law enforcement workers are also likely suspects, and obsessive (usually hypocritical) propeller heads as well.

I know a lot of people threaten real life conflict, but unless they live close by I'd assume they don't have the mean to carry out their threats. Then again he does say they're rare. It should be noted that when losing an arguement, L'enfant provacater, and sometimes weenie or troglodyte(more often weenie) will pose as serious to scare off attackers, but they will never carry out their threats.

Yeah, I don't think someone qualifies as Serious unless they actually take some action, such as at least tracking down and revealing confidential personal information such as address and/or phone number of the individual they are trying to intimidate.
I have seen these before, even though they are rare. The thing that defines Serious, it seems to me, is that he has real intentions of escalating the conflict to a 'real life' level. (As opposed to, for instance, "Tough Guy", who may threaten physical assault or worse, but has no genuine intention of carrying it out.) I think the real life manifestation is more often legal than anything else, it is not necessarily a physical threat. The point is the same, Serious is mad about what you wrote and he/she tries to fuck your life up FOR REAL.
I think it's an excellent suggestion, Mrdie.

Well...I wouldn't think someone would have to actually be in the same area and /attack/ someone to be Serious. There are things that can actually be worse...
A serious who has some research skills can not only make harassing phonecalls to you at all hours of the night, he can send harrasing mail, find out where you work and call your boss, find out who your friends are and start harassing them...he can post your personal info who knows where, use your adress to sign up for all sorts of things, subscribe your email (Probably not your forum email, but say, your work email) to hardcore Porn sites...in short, messing with this guy can make you never want to /see/ a forum again. And it doesn't matter if he's across the country or even in a different one - there are so many creepy ways to stalk and harass someone these days from afar with little money invested. (Not even LD charges if you have a good cell phone plan). And how do you make stuff like this stop? Change all your numbers, email addresses, and ask your friends and such to do the same?
Really, a pretty scary warrior.

"Hosted Building Analyst class with 15 students. Everything was carried out professionally and the the quality was very high. I plan on setting up another BA class in the next year or so."
"Had a great experience in class - You can use me as a reference! Looking forward to getting a job in the area."
"Since I became BPI certified, using the CleanEdison course, I have been able to secure a job and end my 9 months of unemployment. After company downsizing left me with no job last year, I pursued every position I saw available. However, I wasnt able to secure one until I received certification as a Building Analyst. Now I have a new career and new life. Thank you!"
"Thank you so much for your instruction and administering the BPI exam. You really instilled the confidence that I need to perform well in the field and operate a thriving business. I am truly grateful and would not hesitate to refer others to take your training sessions in the future."
"CleanEdison's class was phenomenal. John Mitchell has an extraordinary amount of knowledge on the BPI system and really brought our class together. I passed the written exam and I'm still waiting for my field exam, but I'm totally confident I passed that too. Next step: BPI Envelope Specialist!"
"I took the class in 2009. My instructor was very helpful, shared her knowledge and truly wanted everyone in the class to be successful. I only wish this program would come back to our state of Washington."
"My experience with Clean Edison started with a search of the web for classes on BPI certification. I was impressed at the onset that Elliot answered the phone. Elliot was very helpful and did all he said he would. There were several schedule changes on your part, that was my only frustration. Bill who taught the class did a fine job. Tom who was the proctor for the field exam was first class. I plan on taking future classes for BPI and LEED certification with Clean Edison."
"I have been a college professor for 10 years and I have observed many instructors leading lectures. The instructor was amazing, ranks among the best I have seen in my career. CleanEdison's training techniques made me happy paying for the course – so few things nowadays deserve their pay. Thank you CleanEdison."

Wardrobe | 3 Handbags for less than $50
Updated: Tuesday, 24 Apr 2012, 10:27 AM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 24 Apr 2012, 9:58 AM EDT
INDIANAPOLIS - Quite possibly the ultimate accessory, your handbag can make or break your look. And it can also break the bank. Check out these three "Fab Under $50" bags that can put the right finishing touch on your fashion statement.
1- Modern:
Blue Colour Block Clutch
$27.00 + shipping
Straight lines with bold blues and cream, this color-blocked clutch loudly states "fashion forward." A perfect multi-purpose piece, this bag is simple and smart with your daily work ensemble, yet stylish enough to transform a little black dress into a sophisticated evening outfit.
The price is right for this functional and fun clutch.
2 - Quirky:
Rosette Clutch
$15.80 + shipping
This cute and quirky bag is quite playful and perfect for a spring addition to your wardrobe. As a smaller clutch, you'll only need your bare necessities on any outing, so leave the bulky, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink bag at home.
Mixed with a cotton dress, or some other fun weekend attire, this bright bag adds a little flair to your frocks, complete with a rosette on the flap. Comes in yellow or red.
3 - Classic:
Career Calling Satchel
$30.99 + shipping
This classic messenger is by no means boring. It is the perfect pairing if you have to look the part at work, while being flexible enough to make sure you have room for everything you need – iPad, journals, make-up, and wallet.
The black color offers a professional vibe, but gold clasps and faux leather put the fun into functional. Impress with this classy, multi-purpose purse, ready for the office, and perfectly fine compliment to after-work attire.
Pro-tip: Take care of your purses and bags easier by hanging them on hangers in your closet. You'll be able to see them easier and keep them from piling up by the front door or on the floor of your closet.

A majority of our clients are small businesses. most of those do not have a server. OK terminology they have a workstation that is sharing files and that is what they call a server. But does this really work and how can it be better. To answer this one has to understand workgroup computing. Yes there exists a machine in a workgroup or multiples that serve files. If the file is changed by another user on another computer everything works. THe same with printing. The issue is that a user can create a file on their system in their My Documents directory that is only available to them and may never get backed up. File sharing becomes interesting as user change their password on their local machine as the network share will then deny them access. This is because in a workgroup environment user identical user accounts must be set up on each machine or you must disallow all security. So we now have two issues security and backup. One of the easiest solutions to this problem is Microsoft's Small Business Server line of products. It solves the user security issue by creating all user accounts in one place and those accounts work on every computer. With My Documents redirection, everyone's My Document folders are synced back to the server, which gives a single backup point. Plus if you go to another workstation your My Documents folder from your other computer is accessible to you. More important is now all the critical files can be backed up from one place.
Of course Microsoft SBS has a ton more features which include Sharepoint services for collabrative work, Exchange Mail Server, Windows Server Update Services (to ensure all the systems have the current security patches), Remote access to your network and desktops. You can even do your own web site. There is a lot more behind SBS than these items, but for most Small Businesses, print and file sharing and disaster recovery are critical and not really addressed in Workgroup computing.

Did death occur before the Fall?
Humans appear very late in the history of life. The fossil record clearly shows that many creatures died before humans appeared. This appears to conflict with Bible passages which describe death as a punishment for human sinfulness. However, the curse of Genesis 3 was that Adam and Eve, not the animals, should die for their disobedience. Therefore, animal death before the Fall is compatible with Christian doctrine. For humans, Genesis 3 and other Bible passages may be speaking primarily of spiritual death, not physical death.

How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.

How should we interpret the Genesis flood account?
Genesis 6-9 tells the fascinating story of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. Some Christians interpret the text to mean that the biblical flood must have covered the entire globe. They also work to explain the evidence in rocks and fossils in terms of this world-wide flood. Other Christians do not feel the text requires that the flood be global, but could have covered the small region of earth known to Noah. The scientific and historical evidence does not support a global flood, but is consistent with a catastrophic regional flood. Beyond its place in history, the Genesis flood teaches us about human depravity, faith, obedience, divine judgment, grace and mercy.
Does thermodynamics disprove evolution?
A common argument against biological evolution is that the theory contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. The second law says that disorder, or entropy, always increases or stays the same over time. How then can evolution produce more complex life forms over time? The answer is that the second law is only valid in closed systems with no external sources of energy. Since the Earth receives continual energy from the Sun, the second law does not apply.
How does the evil and suffering in the world align with the idea of a loving God?
The most ancient and persistent objection to God's existence is the problem of evil. How can a loving, powerful God allow so much evil and suffering in the world? The problem of evil has no simple answer, but many philosophers, theologians and others have developed helpful insights.

Verizon Wireless responded today to a lawsuit filed by AT&T earlier this month that accused Verizon's "There's a map for that" marketing campaign of misleading consumers about AT&T's 3G coverage in the United States.
In a nutshell, Verizon said AT&T's request to have the ads pulled is without merit. From the court filing (PDF):
AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon's "There's A Map For That" advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon's ads are true and the truth hurts… AT&T now is attempting to silence Verizon's ads that include maps graphically depicting the geographic reach of AT&T's 3G network as compared to Verizon's own 3G network because AT&T does not like the truthful picture painted by that comparison.
In the court filing, Verizon outlines the reasons that AT&T's arguments are without merit. They include:
- Because the ads are truthful, AT&T is attacking them under faulty theories, including a claim that they are misleading. But Verizon says there's no real evidence – aside from an AT&T commissioned survey – that proves that consumers are misled by the ad.
- There is no emergency that would require the court to issue an immediate restraining order – as AT&T has requested – without giving Verizon the opportunity to conduct its own research and present evidence to prove that consumers are not being misled.
- The harm to Verizon and the public, in general, caused by pulling the ads is greater than any alleged harm being inflicted on AT&T.

What image comes to mind when you think of meditation? Perhaps a gentle old man sitting quietly on an ancient Asian mountaintop? Meditation practice originated centuries ago in the Far East but has become more mainstream in Western culture. Today, millions of people all over the world practice meditation to relieve a variety of problems in their personal lives and promote a general sense of well-being.
Practicing meditation requires us to dip below our "surface" thoughts and into the realm of the subconscious. Meditation is focusing on the space between your thoughts. Much like a computer that needs to be defragmented on a regular basis in order to run at its optimal level, meditation is a wonderful tool that gives us a chance to recalibrate our mind, body and spirit. In effect, meditation helps us to realize our full potential and success as human beings.
There is no right or wrong way to meditate, but there are ways to meditate effectively.

In addition, Alienware is also offering $100 off any Alienware laptop or desktop priced at $1699 and above.
HP is also offering great discounts on its popular brands. Shoppers can also save $10 off your purchase of $50 or more at HP. Lenovo and Toshiba are also offering great Cyber Monday deals, which are all featured on the Bizwaremagic site.
Another main feature is the comprehensive Corporate Business Gifts Guide, full of gift ideas and discounts for the savvy corporate buyer. There are promotional gifts, offers and deals from major brands and retailers such as Amazon, Gifttree, ThingsRemembered, A Gift Personalized... and many more. All to help the holiday shopper find the perfect corporate gift for that special boss or employee.
Like Black Friday, Cyber Monday offers the holiday shopper an excellent chance of finding a special deal or bargain. The fact that online sales have steadily increased year after year, only proves that consumers like these special deals and shopping from the comfort of their own homes or place of business. The Bizwaremagic site makes the whole process easier by presenting helpful tips, coupons and discount offers at one's fingertips. Cyber Monday is only a click away for everyone.
