Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, I will be happy to assist you. After receiving your answer, and unless you have need for clarification, your accept (by clicking the green "accept" button) would be appreciated. Although you have made a deposit, I cannot receive credit for my work without your accept.
All the information you are wanting (the nitty gritty specific stuff) is beyond the scope of the services provided by JustAnswer.
However, I can say that LLCs are generally better for small business and generally offer better liability protection than corporations.
Once you have your LLC, you can even have it taxed as a corporation if your CPA/accountant advises that would give you a positive tax benefit.
As far as employees, you would pay their wage/salary and 1/2 their social security, FICA and other such taxes -- about 7.5%. You also have to withhold their income tax and submit it with a report to the IRS and state.
Generally, the type of rental equipment that you're speaking of comes with the licensing right to lease/rent the equipment to third parties -- so you wouldn't generally need to do anything else. However, that's an important question for the company from which you ultimately buy your equipment.
I believe I have answered your question. As noted above, please let me know if you need clarification, and if not your accept would be appreciated. If you are a monthly subscriber, you must still click the "accept" button for me to receive credit for my work, but you will not be charged an additional fee.
If you later open a new question and would like my assistance, please begin the question with "To TMcJD...." This will ensure that only I answer the question.
Thank you for using JustAnswer. Your "accept" (by clicking the green "Accept" button) would be greatly appreciated. Although you have made a deposit, I cannot receive credit for my work without your accept.
You understand that your use of or communication on this forum, in any and all ways, is intended for general informational purposes only and shall not constitute and/or be relied upon as legal advice or be construed as creating an attorney-client relationship. Further, you agree not to rely on anything I say as legal authority and where appropriate for your own protection will obtain appropriate legal and or tax advice with an attorney or other professional licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your legal or other issue arises.
So to be clear, I was aiming toward an LLC anyway, but it is required? I cannot just run the business without making it an LLC?
In reference to the rental equipment, I am not purchasing from a company that rents the equipment. I am planning to purchase my own new products and rent the equipment on my own. I have already done some research and found that their are contracts I need to build and liscences required. Do I need to involve a lawyer for that?
You could run the business without an LLC, but then you're exposing all of your personal assets and yourself to liability. If you operate the business through an LLC, and follow proper protocol (keeping personal assets away from the LLC and LLC assets away from yourself), then you get a nice shield of liability protection.
I understood you were buying these yourself. What I noted is that when you buy, the product generally comes with the right to lease it and use it to make profit. But ask the company you buy from whether that's the case.
The licensing and rental agreements to your customers should be drafted by an attorney, yes.
Your accept would be appreciated. Thanks.

May 30, 2016
Meridian Community College hosted open house at a new home that students in the home building trades program built this year.
The new house at 6904 10th Avenue is the eighth home MCC students have built in the last nine years.
Home building trades instructor Howie Schiedel said the hands-on experience that students get makes the program very strong.
"So the students not only get the classroom part, where they can learn how to span tables or how much concrete you need for a footing, but then they get to come out and put it into practice," said Schiedel.
In all, around 90 students from construction trade, industrial maintenance, horticulture, drafting and electronics worked on the house, and it is on the market for sale.

Jacksonville State Outlasts Volleyball, 30-25, 26-30, 30-22, 20-30, 15-9
Sept. 18, 2004
Oxford, Miss. - Despite having five different players recording double-digit kill outputs, the University of Illinois at Chicago women's volleyball team was unable to outlast Jacksonville State as the Gamecocks earned the 30-25, 26-30, 30-22, 20-30, 15-9 triumph over the Flames at the Rebel Classic, hosted by Ole Miss, at Gillom Sports Center on Saturday morning.
Suzi Terrell paced Jacksonville State with 18 kills, while teammates Abbey Breit (14 kills) and Katie Moyers (10 kills) each turned in impressive efforts for the Gamecocks.
With the victory, Jacksonville State improves to 8-2 on the season, while the Flames fall to 4-9 overall.
UIC's Ambria Springer and Dawn Strahanoski led the Flames with 12 kills, while teammates Jordan Studzinski and Megan Colins added 11 kills apiece.
The Flames also received solid performances from both setter Katie Kozak (48 assists, 13 digs) and Megan Hoffman (10 kills, 6 block assists).
Springer finished the evening with 10 total blocks (2 solo, 8 assists) to push the Flames to a season-high 16.5 total team blocks. Five different UIC players finished with at least four total blocks on the morning.
UIC will be back in action on Friday night, as they will open the Horizon League campaign against Youngstown State at 7:00 p.m. at the Flames Athletic Center.

McCain: 'Hard to Believe Low-Level IRS Agents Were Responsible'
The Arizona senator was asked why he has avoided the word "lie" in describing President Obama's comments on Benghazi.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) weighed in on the scandals facing the White House, saying the "disgraceful" actions of the IRS seriously damage the American public's view of government.
"Those responsible need to be punished. It's hard for me to believe this was just a bunch of low-ranking apparatchiks that have been doing this," said McCain.
Boehner: Who's Going to Jail for This?
Bill Hemmer noted that in 2010, a midterm election year, several Democratic senators were openly calling for the IRS to take a look at the tax-exempt status of Tea Party groups that were supporting Republican candidates.
"The tea parties are grassroots organizations, they're not big lobbying outfits here in Washington, they're not well funded. And of course they're the most easily intimidated. So this is particularly egregious," said McCain.
What about President Obama's harsh words for the GOP over Benghazi?
"The president did not tell the American people the truth," said McCain, pointing out that the Washington Post's fact-checker has gave the president "four Pinocchios" after his statements Monday on Benghazi. Hemmer asked why McCain was not using the word "lie."
"I've never used that word, Bill, because he is the President of the United States. ... You've got to remember it was part of the presidential narrative about Al Qaeda is on the run, bin Laden is dead, not to worry."

Who doesn't want a natural formulation for hair growth inhibitor? Excess hair growth especially among women can be the result of excess testosterone in a woman's bloodstream. This hormone triggers the hair follicle and increases the coarseness and thickness of the hair strand. Hence, women with this condition may see noticeable hair on the chin, chest, back, and upper lip. The best thing about hair inhibitor is that it can decrease the thickness and coarseness of the hair. With regular use, you will not worry about shaving, waxing, or plucking any more since the hair is barely noticeable with hair inhibitor.
What Causes Excessive Hair Growth?
Normally, women only generate low levels of male hormones or androgens. When the body begins to generate too much of androgen, it results to excessive hair growth. Most of the time, the exact cause is unidentified. Nonetheless, this condition is hereditary. Generally, having excessive hair on the body is harmless but most women feel embarrassed or bothered with such condition. The most probable cause of hirsutism (excessive hair growth) is the polycystic ovarian syndrome. Women having this condition may also have problems with their menstrual periods, trouble in losing weight, acne, and diabetes.
Using a Hair Inhibitor
Generally, hair inhibitors can be in the form spray, lotion, or cream that is applied much like a moisturizer. This product is very safe to use especially that it comes from plant-based extracts. When this product is rubbed deep into the skin, it attacks the sulfides that bind the hair proteins causing the hair strands to get weak and makes it fun and softer after a period of use. The best thing about using hair inhibitors is that it provides you convenience especially that you perform this procedure in your home. Moreover, it contains natural ingredients that do not pose any harm to the skin or tissue.
Making Your Own Hair Inhibitor
Before applying a hair growth inhibitor, you must first eliminate any hair on the skin. The method may be waxing, shaving, or plucking. Whichever type of hair removal method you choose is fine as long as you're comfortable doing it. After removing hair from the skin, you can use some herbal substance to eliminate chances of regrowth. One important herbal ingredient is called turmeric, which is an herb spice. Below are steps for homemade hair inhibitor:
- Add milk to an ample amount of turmeric. The amount should be just enough to create a paste-like consistency.
- Rube the turmeric paste on your skin in circular motion.
- Apply this solution for twice a week for about one month and you will notice slowing down of hair growth in those areas.
- Expect that it will stain the skin. Minimize the appearance of the turmeric stains by following up with yogurt or milk wash.
- You can also begin with spearmint as a potential hair inhibitor. Bring to a boil about one cup of water then adds a teaspoon of spearmint leaves.
- Let stand for 10 minutes then drink once a day to regulate hormonal levels causing excessive hair growth.

In my English Lit. class at school one of the most enjoyable papers I ever wrote was on dystopias. I had by that time already discovered George Orwell, so Nineteen-Eighty Four was an obvious point of departure. From there its was on to novels like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Yevgeny Zamyatin's We, a book that overwhelmed me with its brilliance, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, G K Chesterton's The Napoleon of Notting Hill and Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit
But the other girls in my group were reading the same books so I thought I'd cast the net just a little wider. And that's how I discovered The Year of the Sex Olympics, a play by Nigel Kneale and first broadcast on BBC television in 1968. I was immediately captivated by this depiction of a future in which a debased underclass are kept amused by reality TV shows and pornography, ever more sensational in content, like the Sex Olympics. The elite were always looking for new ideas and are encouraged when the masses, ever more lethargic, ever more difficult to please, are engaged and amused by death and suffering.
Reality TV at the time was non-existent, so the play could be considered as a brilliant anticipation of times to come, of our times, a time when television shows are becoming ever more wretchedly debased in their pursuit of ratings. But I suspect that the author, who had previously adapted Nineteen-Eighty Four for television, was also looking back to the public executions of the past, which used to draw massive crowds, people taking a vicarious delight in death. The premise was based, if you like, in the vilest dimensions of human nature.
The theme had a particular resonance for me because of the popularity of Channel Four's Big Brother reality show, drawing on Orwell, though in such a way that I feel sure would have nauseated him. I confess I was seduced by this show to begin with, seduced by characters like 'Nasty Nick' (Sorry; I was in my teens!). But with each successive series my contempt for the parade of mediocrities that were selected to appear began to grow. I have to say this, even at the risk of sounding snobbish, but I began to think of them as the worst forms of low-life imaginable, 'oiks' and 'pig people', as we used to say at school.
The worst of all was the celebrity versions. There was one with George Galloway, then an MP, doing an impression of a cat and another of him dressed in a tight-fitting leotard, with, not to be coy on the point, his testicles on clear display. To see this revolting old man, one whom I despised for his politics, prancing around like this was just too, too awful, hugely funny and utterly ridiculous at one and the same time. I haven't watched the show since.
I almost never watch TV now; I have far more important things to do. It's not just that. The fact is that the mixture of reality TV, celebrity chefs, talent contests and the rest of the sad and unimaginative rubbish is simply unwatchable. It's garbage best left to the proles, people whose surplus energy is sucked up by a manipulating and cynical elite. Meanwhile I shall return always to the Live Life Show.

I jump roped for 5 minutes straight and my quads and feet really hurt at the end of the jump rope warmup lol. Do I just have really weak legs or something? My bloodflow felt pretty good, but I don't know if I should jump rope for longer or shorter.
(Just to let you know, I DID do a search on this and didn't find the answer I was looking for.)

Man bashed multiple times in head with stick
SCRANTON — One man bashed another in the head with a nightstick multiple times Monday night, knocking him unconscious before police intervened.
Police charged Daniel Shedlock, 47, 1527 Mulberry St., Scranton, with aggravated assault, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.
A witness told police the men "exchanged words" in the 1500 block of Mulberry Street just before 9 p.m. when Mr. Shedlock ran into his house to retrieve the 2-foot-long wooden stick, according to the police report. Daniel Brown, hit in the lower back of his head two or three times, regained consciousness in the ambulance but was transported to Geisinger Community Medical Center for a CAT scan and X-rays.
Mr. Shedlock is free on $10,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Yeah, yeah we know. Given the rumors swirling around the past couple days, confirmation was inevitable, but a fresh press release dispatched tonight has confirmed that Elijah Wood will indeed be returning for "The Hobbit." It's largely believed that he will appear in the opening sequence of the film, reading from or telling the tale from the "Red Book of Westmarch" (that Bilbo and Frodo both wrote in during "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) allowing himself—and the viewers—to experience Bilbo's story. There are still a few more expected names to be officially locked in (i.e. Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis) but that is likely to be coming prior to the beginning of lensing next month.
Turns out that's not all Wood is working on. He will also be taking on the role of Ben Gunn in "Treasure Island," a two-part, four-hour miniseries that will be aired on Sky TV. Steven Barron ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and countless music videos including A-Ha's "Take On Me") is directing the project, with the adaptation written by Stewart Harcourt. Wood will co-star with Eddie Izzard, who is on board as Long John Silver.
A busy year ahead for Wood as he is set to star in the FX series "Wilfred," and lend his voice to "Happy Feet 2" as well as "Tron: Uprising," the animated series that Disney hopes people will care more about than the movie. He's also in the mysterious short "Fight for Your Right Revisited" directed by Adam Yauch and starring Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Jack Black that will premiere in a couple weeks at Sundance.
The first half of "The Hobbit" will hit theaters in December 2012.

Warming up for August
A weak cool front will meander through the region today so we may have to deal with a shower in spots. Most of the day will feature partly sunny skies and dry weather with highs still on the cool side for the last day of July, mainly in the 70s.
Friday will start off dry and with sunshine. Temperatures will climb back into the 80s to start the month of August. However, later in the day — as some more humid air begins to creep up the coast — some showers and thunderstorms may develop. Those showers and storms could linger through Friday night and early Saturday, especially farther east.
Skies will slowly clear through the day Saturday as things attempt to dry out. Most of the day should be rain-free. On Sunday it turns much more humid for the race at Pocono. Because of that we may see a pop-up shower or thunderstorm in spots. But I think we'll have enough dry weather to get the race in.

So have any of you guys actually been following this 6 part series? I've seen the first two and am about to watch the third tonight. I gotta say, from what i've seen so far, it's a really successful adaptation. And even if you haven't even read the graphic novel/comic series it's quite an interesting seires.
I'm already hooked. It's better than most zombie films out there, and it even feels like an extended film rather than a TV series. Very well made.
The director of Shaw Shank Redemption and Green Mile had an important part in the direction of this adaptation. His name is Frank Darabont i think.
So, have you seen it yet?
do you like it/not?
why do you like it/not?

Yeah I liked the ending very much - a little too much drama with the big countdown clock bullshit, but it was a good ending. Also a little convenient that the lady had a grenade in her purse the whole time but I don't know how else they would have gotten out.
It was interesting to see the scientist tell Rick a secret - that I'm sure will be a major plot point next season.
The opening was pretty awesome too, in the hospital with Shane trying to revive/save Rick while he's in the coma. It shows pretty much how shit was out of control when the epidemic hit, especially at the hospital.
Great episode and I can't wait for the next season. I have all of this season's episodes recorded on my DVR, but I would pick this up on DVD.

Chad's Birthday Mug
Chad, Cousin, Dallas, Trent
Chen-Je, Jen, Jason
Limey, Ted, Fitz, Paul, Carrie, Trent
Chad & Dallas
Chad & Rachelle
In grand family tradition of playing bar games for 40th birthday parties, we all gathered last weekend to celebrate Chad's big birthday and played Jeopardy: Chad Edition. Remember, for Brian's party there was the Pub Crawl Olympics and for Jill's there was Survivor Wrigleyville.
Brian setting up the Jeopardy board.
Jill explaining the rules.
Jeopardy Team Representatives: Carrie, Limey, Ted
For Chad's 40th birthday Jen rented out the beer garden at Fizz, but since it was raining, we were in a heated tent. We paid $35 for all the drinks we could drink for 4 hours and Jen arranged for some really delicious food to be served as well. At the appointed time, we all gathered to play Jeopardy. When we arrived Jen had given us each a number: 1, 2 or 3. This was to sort people into 3 teams. I was on Team 2: Team Burrito House. We chose Limey to be our team representative. When the answers were presented, Limey had to yell Burrito House to buzz in with the correct question. The other teams and reps were Ted for Team Guthries, Team 1, and Carrie (and later Danny) for Team Syracuse.
Getting intense!
These were the categories – For the Jeopardy round there was The Man and His Bans, Potent Potables, and Movies & Music. In Double Jeopardy there was Chad's Sports Follies, Brushes With Fame, and He's Had a Job or Two. The Final Jeopardy category was Location, Location, Location and the question was about how many places Chad has lived in Chicago. Jill and Brian constructed the Jeopardy board. Jill played Vannah White, flipping the answers open, while Brian did his best Alex Trebec, reading the answers off. Jen was the scorekeeper.
Chad had to charade out one of the Jeopardy answers.
Jeopardy crowd.
Final Jeopardy
Chen-Je with two winning girls, Caroline & Loden
The game got really heated with everyone screaming to ring in and shouting answers. Before Final Jeopardy my team, Team Burrito House, was in the lead by far! We could not mess this up! Well, leave it to Limey…. he wagered something like $4,000 more than we even had, which seems to be breaking the rules to me, and then we lost everything, and then some, when no one on our team know how many places Chad lived in. Wah wah wahhhh…
Cousin & Todd
Baltimore Bomb
Baltimore Bombs
Jill & Dallas
Chad's high school friend Todd flew into town from Maryland and introduced us to a new shot called the Ravens Bomb. Well, when he's tailgating at football games he calls it that, but we were opting to call it the Baltimore Bomb. In Baltimore they drop a grape vodka shot into a cup of Red Bull energy drink. At Fizz they only had Monster energy drink, so we used that. Check out the awesome custom shot glasses Fizz had. Perfect for bombs. As for the Baltimore Bomb? It tasted awesome. The grape vodka tasted just like grape soda. Todd did warn me that they will sneak up on you if you are not careful, but I only had two. They were flowing pretty readily, though. I think they did sneak up on some people. Or… it could have been the other bombs…
Chad's Birthday Cheesecakes
Dessert: Carbombs or Cheesecake?
Of course a night out with all these guys is not complete without Irish Car Bombs. Right as Trent was ordering a round, Jen was in the other room gathering people for cake! Ed (remember The Baked Escape) made two white chocolate raspberry swirl cheesecakes (with a chocolate cookie crust) for the party. So delicious. I've had this one a few times. It never disappoints. Just as the cake was being cut the Irish Car Bombs arrived. So, choose your poison: Cheesecake or booze. Or both. Why not? Actually, I only had a tiny sliver of the cake and passed on the bombs.
Todd & Brian
Dancing around the birthday boy.
After this, I don't know what happened. I didn't feel very drunk, but there was a lot of dancing. And Ed sent me photos of things this week that I only vaguely remember happening. So yeh. Kind of proud that us old people can still have a good time!

DEA agent wanting to ask questions but he never returned my call, then I googled the number only to realize it's not the DEA office, but a complete scam. Figures! It sounded fake to me!

UPDATE> Agent Bolden never returned my call so I called the number again. This time I was finally put through to Agent Bolden. He gave me this long-winded account of how I have broken the law back in 2007 by ordering some type of medication from an online company. He went on to say that an arrest order was being processes as we spoke and that agents would be arriving at my home to take me into custody. He then stated that there was a way that I may be able to avoid arrest but I interrupted him and asked him why the phone number that I called was different from the one listed on the official DEA website and that the DEA had never heard of his name when I told them what was going. After a long pause, he proceeded to inform me that I had blown my chance and that agents were on their way to my home to take me into custody. I told him that I would look forward to seeing them. I then hung up.Caller Name: Shawn BoldenCaller Type: Scam Call
Wayne (Fort Bragg, United States) Dec 12 2013, 12:56 pm#6
This so-called DEA agent left a message on my machine. He said that if I didn't get in tough with him immediately, there would be a warrant issued for my arrest. Since I felt like "messing" with them, I called back several times trying to locate agent Bolden. He never was available, of course, but I was told that another "agent" could help me. I said that since Bolden was the one who called, I would feel more comfortable talking to him They hung up. I called again today and they said that Bolden would return my call. We'll see.Caller Name: Shawn BoldenCaller Type: Scam Call

Legislators in their first week of a special session in Olympia are understandably desperate in their search for budget solutions. However, they should be careful not to let their desperation lead to foolishness.
One possible new source of revenue being pushed by some Republicans is the perfectly horrible idea of allowing slot machines and other forms of electronic gambling in nontribal casinos, or cardrooms. Currently, electronic gambling is allowed only in the state's tribal casinos; nontribal outlets are limited to table games.
Some lawmakers argue that allowing more slot machines could yield $300 million to $400 million per biennium to a state that's wrestling with a projected $2 billion shortfall. But here are the most compelling arguments supporting the belief that "more gambling" is a foolish fiscal strategy:
Voters hate the idea. Seven years ago, 61.5 percent of voters rejected Initiative 892, which offered a similar expansion of electronic gambling beyond tribal casinos.
Tribes hate the idea, as well, although they have yet to express any formal opposition this year. But common sense and history tell us that tribal opposition to any diversion of their slot-machine business will be ferocious and, coupled with the proven opposition from voters, would make this a fruitless pursuit of supposedly easy money. The News Tribune of Tacoma quoted state Rep. John McCoy, a Democrat from Tulalip and a member of the Tulalip tribe: "It's simple logic that, if I've got to drive by a cardroom to play the device I like, why would I drive farther to get to the tribal casino?"
Gambling, clearly, is here to stay in this state, but that doesn't mean Washingtonians should countenance unrestrained growth. When I-892 failed in 2004, there were 24 tribal casinos in the state with fewer than 16,000 slot (or similar) machines. Today, according to The News Tribune of Tacoma, 28 tribal casinos offer almost 24,000 gambling machines. Such a growth rate ought to pacify even the most ardent gambler.
Gambling revenue is notoriously unpredictable and a precarious source of money for states, which need fiscal stability. Furthermore, money spent on any expansion of slot-machine gambling could very well be money already being spent, and taxed, elsewhere. The Tacoma newspaper also quoted Professor William Thompson, a gaming industry expert at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas: "The (new, nontribal) casino money is going to come out of dining budgets; people aren't going to go to the Walmarts and the Sears Roebucks to buy stuff that would be subject to the sales tax."
Beware the argument that this would be a new revenue source without a tax increase. That might be so under the strictest definition, but Washington State Wire reports that a proposal from the Recreational Gaming Association (cardroom operators) would turn over to the state 35 percent of revenue from new cardroom slot machines. Call that a "piece of the action" or a "part of the profit" or any other euphemism, but it's still a clear case of the state extracting 35 percent of new revenue from businesses. Gosh, that sure feels like a tax.
The myriad ways in which gambling deteriorates a community's quality of life have been extensively chronicled on these editorial pages. There's no hope of reducing gambling's presence in our state, but feeding the monster is the wrong way to solve the state's budget problems.

Hello all,
I was wondering this for a long time. Whats the difference between a 747-300 and a 747-400D? And why didn't airlines like ANA and JL keep their 743's instead of ordering 744D's?

Uniform Zone
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Uniform Zone is your place to go to see babes in uniforms whether you crave to see models in outfits belonging to cheerleaders, cops, firefighters, maids, nurses, secretaries, soldiers or a few assorted other ensembles. They pretty well have all the bases covered (okay, there isn't a baseball uniform set but there is one of a pirate, so close enough).
There are 186 galleries containing good-looking pics that fall just short of being considered high-res. The women, many of whom appear to be of Eastern European origin, are very sexy while the photos themselves have a sleek, professional look to them.
It's mostly all solo posing, but despite being relatively softcore, we do get a good view of tits and ass, not to mention pussy from upskirts or as each lady slowly peels off pants or even coveralls. There's also a little bit of hardcore material to be found if you look hard enough.
As far as the videos go, there are 130 episodes so far and each is downloadable in Windows Media format. The more recent vids look spectacular, but some of the older ones are mediocre looking. Some of the scenes are softcore like the majority of the pictures, but others are considerably more hardcore and featured lesbian sex and straight on fucking and sucking.
As with the photos, what I appreciate most is how no matter how much naked flesh we may manage to see, the chicks always manage to keep some shred of evidence of whatever uniform they were wearing. It might just be a nurse's cap or firefighter's boots, but we're uniformly reminded of the role each babe plays.
As for additional content, there are eight full-length, bonus hardcore uniform movies about 20minutes long and downloadable in similar quality Windows Media format as the main content. There are also three uniform-themed bonus feeds, as well as links to different cam sites.
Uniform Zone is no longer updating, but it still offers above-average content for a standard monthly fee. It's worth a look, but with no new material on the way, you probably won't stick around for longer than a month.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

After attending an event for each of the following organizations, we talked with the Founders to try and get a sense of who they are and why they are so appealing.

Israel fires 'warning' missile after Syrian mortars strike Golan

November 11, 2012
By RFE/RL
Smoke rises after an explosion in the Syrian village of Bariqa close to the cease-fire line between Israel and Syria.
Israel's military says it fired "warning shots" into Syria after stray mortars from the Syrian conflict exploded in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
"A short while ago a mortar, stray mortar, hit an [Israel Defense Forces] post in the Golan Heights," said Israeli army spokeswoman Avital Leibovich. "We understand that this is a result of the internal conflict in Syria and was not directed at Israel. We have fired warning shots into Syrian areas and have also filed a complaint through the UN channels regarding this incident."
The November 11 Israeli missile fire into Syria marks the first time Israeli forces have attacked Syrian territory since the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when Syrian troops overran much of the southern Golan before being pushed back by an Israeli counterattack.
Israel and Syria signed a cease-fire agreement in 1974 that left almost all of the Golan Heights in Israeli hands.
Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it in 1981 in a move that has not been recognized internationally.
The incident came amid continuing fighting between Syrian government forces and fighters from the Free Syria Army in the southwestern corner of Syria, near the Golan Heights. It was in that area, at the southwestern Syrian city of Daraa, that the rebels' uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began 20 months ago.
Intensifying Civil War
Several mortar shells have fallen into the Israeli-occupied part of the Golan Heights during the past week without causing any damage or injuries.
Israel considers those incidents to be accidental. But it says it still holds Syria responsible.
On November 11, with Syria's civil war intensifying near Daraa, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet that Israeli forces are "closely monitoring what is happening" and are "ready for any development" on the Syrian border.
The developments come amid growing concern about the potential for Syria's conflict to spread to other countries in the region.
Syrian government forces on November 11 also have been battling rebels near the borders with other countries.
At the southeastern Syrian town of Al Bukamal near the border with Iraq, government helicopter gunships bombed rebel fighters.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says government helicopters also attacked the town of Ras al-Ain Sunday on Syria's northeastern border with Turkey.
That attack comes after rebels from the Free Syrian Army captured a border crossing in the area, which is home to a large part of Syria's Kurdish minority.
Relations between Damascus and Turkey also have been strained over fighting in the northwest corner of Turkey, which has resulted in several Turkish border villages being struck by artillery fired by Syrian government troops.
Turkey also has fired into Syrian territory in response to those incidents.

Researcher says evidence suggests they may, but industry rep disagrees
By Brenda Goodman
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, July 10 (HealthDay News) -- Artificial sweeteners appear to disturb the body's ability to count calories and, as a result, diet foods and drinks may wind up encouraging weight gain rather than weight loss, an expert contends.
These sweeteners may also increase the risk of health problems like heart disease and diabetes, some evidence suggests.
In an opinion piece published July 10 in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, Susan Swithers, a professor of behavioral neuroscience at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., rounded up recent research on artificial sweeteners.
Commonly used sweeteners include sucralose, aspartame and saccharin, among others.
Swithers has been studying the effects of artificial sweeteners on rats, but the journal asked her to look at evidence of health effects in humans too.
Swithers said studies following people who regularly consume diet soft drinks over time have found that those people are at higher risk for weight gain and obesity than people who don't drink sodas at all.
Compared to people who avoid diet or regular soft drinks, diet soda drinkers also appear to have elevated risks for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome -- a group of symptoms that puts people at increased risk for those conditions.
What's more, Swithers said, the risks for these health effects seem to be similar in people who drink diet sodas compared to those who drink regular sodas, suggesting that there isn't much benefit in switching.
Some of those studies aren't conclusive, however, because they can't rule out the possibility that people were drinking diet sodas because they were gaining weight, not the other way around -- a problem called reverse causality.
One study of soda-drinking teens found that those assigned to swap regular soda for one diet soda every day gained less weight over the course of 18 months than those who kept drinking sugar-sweetened soda. The study didn't look at what might happen if teens were asked to drink water instead of sweetened beverages, however.
Not everyone agrees with Swithers's assessment of the research.

Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa has the most patriotic sideboob I've ever seen.
The reality star was spotted in Miami earlier today grabbing some smoothies with her man, Romain Zago. Joanna decided to keep it comfortable today in skinny jeans and a loose tank top, with no bra. Because what's more fun than having one's boob fall out of the side of one's shirt?
No really, that totally almost happened.
Joanna accidentally dropped her smoothie and while bending down to grab it, had to hold her boob to stop it from falling out. You know, I applaud her for having the confidence to go out in public like that. I for sure never could. I'm honestly surprised she put clothes on and didn't just show up in a bikini. Isn't that what people do in Miami?
I've never been to Florida, so my knowledge is limited to what I've seen on RHOM and The Birdcage. Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of the sideboob happening. So where does Joanna fall on your list of favorite real housewives? Let us know in the comments!

Clock End Boy: Nasri's comments were stinging, but he has a point
13:51 17 May 2012
"He's got what he wanted. He's a winner. And he's got a lump of metal in his grubby little mitts to prove it."
"I hope they are watching me now collecting my Premier League winner's medal. I believe they have not won a trophy for many years now.
"I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their lives and forget me, they should celebrate their third-place achievement and I will focus on winning titles."
Phew, stinging stuff.
Thing is, he may have all the grace of a charging elephant, but Samir Nasri has a point.
He's got what he wanted. He's a winner. And he's got a lump of metal in his grubby little mitts to prove it. Sucks doesn't it. But he's been proved right.
It's now seven years and counting. Seven years. St Totteringham's Day and more Champions League is all very nice, but it's simply not enough.
We need silver for our brass.
Not so long ago, you'd have been hard pushed to talk of a player who left Arsenal to go onto bigger and better things. Liam Brady, of course. Ray Kennedy, certainly. But that was more than 30 years ago in Chippy's case. Nearly 40 for Kennedy.
Now they're all at it. Half the City squad and backroom team seemed to have Highbury connections.
All have been proved right. They needed to leave Arsenal to become winners. Gael Clichy, mistake-strewn, unmotivated, Gael Clichy, is a winner. He's now a mistake-free, motivated, Gael Clichy.
And he's a winner.
This all started with Ashley Cole.
He won two titles and three FA Cups at Highbury. He's already bettered that at Chelsea. Comfortably. He could, God forbid, win the Champions League on Saturday too. An unedifying prospect, I'm sure you'll agree.
Loathe him or hate him, he can look any Arsenal fan in the eye and justify what he did. And we haven't got a leg to stand on.
Meanwhile all we have is another trite interview with flaky Theo Walcott telling us how we must improve next season. Stop the world I want to get off.
So we need to win trophies. The club really needs to show that it means business (and I don't just mean to the bottom line). This is all getting rather tiresome. We don't go down the boozer to brag about our sustainable financial model.
We are The Arsenal. And I believe we are reaching a tipping point. Sort the defence out by giving Steve Bould the remit to whatever he has to do, offload half a dozen leeches sucking bloated salaries out of the club and buy some proven winners.
And a damned good start would be snaring wantaway Yaya Toure from Citeh, a man with unfinished business at our club.
Because the 'trophy' of Champions League football ain't cutting it any more.
Before I go for a liedown in a darkened room to watch DVDs of past glories, I'll leave with you another quote, from another ex-Gunner
"Winners smile, losers make their own arrangements." - Mr Charles Frederick George.
And he knew a thing or two about winning…

"Hot streak is more of a very bright magenta. It is not the lightest of pinks however, it is not a dark pink. If you look at the pictures here, you will see an accurate color portrayal of the pants. "

If you're anything like me, the onset of warm weather has you dreaming of elaborate outdoor entertaining. I imagine myself all decked out in a flowing summer caftan, with sunglasses that cover half my face and a perfectly coiffed mop of sun-kissed hair blowing in the light breeze.
There's a table of hors d'oeuvres and fun summery drinks, and quaint homemade light fixtures dot my yard.
Come mid-summer, however, any get-together at my house usually consists of hot dogs and burgers instead of fancy small plates, a bonfire in place of charming jars glowing everywhere, and I'm most definitely sporting a T-shirt and shorts instead of the fancy caftan. Not a terrible scene, but nowhere near the ideal atmosphere I'd hoped to create.
If you have lofty aspirations to entertain in the coming months – but are overwhelmed by lack of time, budget constraints, or you need some neat and attainable ideas – Real Simple has some great tips for easy outdoor entertaining. Here are a few for your consideration:
- Encourage your guests to wander around by placing food and drinks on separate tables. Good parties are filled with good conversation, and these little meeting stations are sure to get people chatting it up.
- Place essentials such as barware, ice and glasses on a bar cart that you can wheel in and out of the house when it's time to restock. That way you'll spend less time making multiple trips for supplies, and more time enjoying the company of your friends.
- Here's one I really dig: Fill a serving platter with water and float flower heads, such as peonies, on top. This simple solution will create a chic and sophisticated entertaining space – and you'll feel like you're channeling Martha Stewart!
- Get creative with your seating! Things like tree stumps and ottomans can be used for additional sitting space.
- Illuminate the evening with distinctive lanterns, twinkling strands and festive lights, but consider using a brown extension cord that may be easier to hide.
- Don't forget to guard against mosquitoes! Gather your citronella candles and place them all around your party area.
- Bring indoor furniture outside to create outdoor "rooms" and encourage conversation. Have some comfy chairs that are easily portable? Maybe an end table for guests to set their food and drinks? Carry them outside for a cozier feel.
- Is the night a little chillier than you expected? Don't be afraid to start that bonfire to warm up your guests. It may be fun to have the makings for s'mores around the house as a dessert option.

MORGANTOWN - Former Marshall coach Mark Snyder thought he had it tough the last time he was in West Virginia.
Imagine being in his a new role as South Florida's defensive coordinator and trying to pick up tendencies of the Mountaineers offense during Thursday night's 20-6 WVU victory against the Bulls.
There were none.
The looks didn't switch from series to series, they switched from play to play.
"That's something that is good for us because we have the personnel," WVU quarterback Geno Smith said. "It really makes it difficult to key on one guy."
Yes, especially if the guy you're keying on is no longer in the formation. Or, you know, on the field.
The Mountaineers showed the more-popular-by-the day, five-wide look - something that is OK in Morgantown, but don't try it at Talladega - they loaded up in the I-Formation and showed off some power, they dusted off the bubble screens (en mass), as they pushed forward with their spread option. That, by the way, is the offense they still try to sell as their primary one in the game notes.
As offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen explained it, if they had to, they might have gone with the Veer, Pistol, Wildcat, or the Wishbone. They did run a trick play, which worked. Whatever it took.
"We threw a lot at them," he said. "This was a game we needed to win."
Both Mullen and head coach Bill Stewart made a point to mention how just one look, particularly the spread, simply doesn't work against South Florida, and the Mountaineers had a sub .500 won-loss record in the series to prove it.
"People just don't understand how fast (South Florida) is,'' Stewart said. "When we go spread, South Florida matches up."
The bubble screens were calculated, as they were looking for ways to slow USF's zone blitzing, maybe even curb it all together.
That's how a guy like WVU's Jock Sanders can catch 10 passes and only gain 31 yards, including a long of 13, meaning he averaged 2 yards on his other nine receptions.
It's also how trick plays can wind up working, as the 'hook and lateral' did for the Mountaineers late in the first half that elevated West Virginia to a 17-3 lead at halftime.
"We'd run screens five or six times (already to that point)," Sanders said.
Certainly the Bulls were ready to wrap up Sanders for a 4-yard loss on the play, as they'd already done many times, never figuring he was going to flip it back to Noel Devine, who took it 11 yards for the score.
Incidentally, here is how the play is scored: Sanders was credited with one catch for minus-4 yards. Devine was not given a reception, but he was granted 7 receiving yards and a touchdown (even though he ran it in from the 11). Smith was credited with a 7-yard TD pass.
It was a play that made Stewart smile. He liked seeing the "dipsy-doo" work.
"Last time I called one of those plays," Stewart said, "it was a double pass and you'd think I was killing people at the grocery store."
He later added that he generally shows little emotion on the sideline, but on that play, "I caught myself with a little bounce in the skip."
Television replays showed Stewart smiling and pointing at a pretty excited Smith, who was still jumping as he neared the sideline.
Anyway, getting back to the play selection, Sanders said he would have liked to have seen the Mountaineers 'take more shots,' but he knew, with the defense playing the way it is, which is as good as any in the country, it wasn't necessary.
"We get 20-21 (points)," Sanders said, "it's in the books."
Mullen agreed with that to a point, as the bullish I-formation was called upon mainly as a means to work the clock and protect the lead during the third quarter.
To that end, one of West Virginia's third-quarter drives ate up 14 plays, 66 yards, and nearly 7 minutes. The result was a field goal.
"Big drive," Stewart said.
That's not necessarily Mullen's favorite way to go about it, but he knows it helps win games. And winning games helps people keep jobs.
"I go into every game thinking we can score 100 points," Mullen said. "The majority of the second half, we were just trying to get a victory."
There's little doubt Mountaineers fans will take issue with that, as they certainly have a step-on-the-throat mentality.
But this wasn't about winning by 100, or even 14. Against South Florida and recent history, winning by one would have been enough.

Don't sweat the small stuff. It's probably not a phrase that Henry Moore was familiar with but for him, bigger was definitely better. "Everything I do, I intend to make on a large scale," he said. "Size itself has its own impact, and physically we can relate ourselves more strongly to a big sculpture than to a small one."
This exhibition of sculptures from the 1960s and 1970s focuses on Moore's large later works, most of which were intended to be installed outdoors, exposed to the elements, our view of them altered by the changing light and seasons. It seems,

The video you're about to watch is very horrific, hence why viewer discretion is highly advised. This sad incident seems to have occured in Lagos State considering the fact that one of the women mentioned "Iyana Ejigbo" during this heartbreaking moments of torture.
In the video, several men beat, strip, and torture two women for allegedly stealing pepper. Yes, grounded pepper. The horrible men inserted pepper and stick into their v*ginas. One of the women is even a mother with children at home.
This is virtually the height of jungle justice and abuse on the feminine gender, if truly these women stole "PEPPER", do they deserve this punishment and torture?
We're calling on the Nigerian Police Force through the amiable Inspector General, Mohammed Abubakar to PLEASE help us fish out these men….
The senate needs to come up with a very stiff punishment for such offenders and stop harrassing Nigerians with 7-years jail term for social media critics.
