Dear Dr. Wes and Miranda: Please publish this as quickly as you can because I have to make a decision. My daughter and her two girlfriends want to take a senior road trip before college starts in the fall. I didn't like the idea when they brought it up in March but thought it was going to be a moot point due to cost. Then gas prices went down, so now it's on again.
I don't think it's safe for a carload of teen girls to be on the highways without an adult. My daughter says, "We have a Garmin, Mom, we'll be fine."
Miranda: A senior trip can be a right of passage for a lot of teens beginning their journey into adulthood. This is, of course, a worry for most parents, and handling it can be sticky. As a parent, you want to keep your daughter safe, without insulting her newfound independence. It can be a tough balancing act, but the safety of your teen should always be your first priority.
With that in mind, saying "no" flat-out probably isn't the best option.
This is actually a great opportunity to work with your daughter to reach a compromise. Suggest that a group of parents travel in another car behind or along the same path in case something bad happens. The other option is to have them plan to stay with trustworthy relatives or friends along their route.
You can also break down the actual costs and responsibilities of going on a road trip. Have her map out the entire route and do the math on the entire amount of gas she and her friends will have to pay for. Be sure she knows how to change a tire and check her oil. Those kinds of car maintenance issues are things your daughter and her friends should know before they hit the road.
There are ways to keep your daughter safe without being the parent that puts a damper on her plans. Be upfront with her and work to create a compromise that is fair, fun and safe.
Dr. Wes: The fundamental dilemma of parenting is how much to push your child and how much to hold her.
This begins in the front yard when she falls in the grass and begins to cry. Do you jump out of your seat and run to her side, desperately leaping over hedges and assorted yard toys? Or do you walk slowly, calmly reaching down to tell her, "It's OK, things like this happen. We get by"?
Frequent readers know that we sound the alarm bell in Double Take when we see dangers to teens. But this just isn't one of those times. Your daughter is 18. She's off to college in the fall, where she'll encounter far more potential danger lurking about — most of it self-inflicted — than anything she could find along Route 66.
I'm not sure my folks were too keen on me taking off for Washington, D.C., with my friend an hour after graduation, but they went along with it because that was the next natural step in my journey away from home. Your daughter is old enough to do this. In fact, she's also old enough to join the Marines. You can't follow her to college or into combat, and you can't trail along on her road trip.
I do agree with Miranda that there should be some agreement on where she and her friends are going, and an understanding that if they get into trouble in Miami or Bangor, you won't be rushing out to solve all their problems. That's what being an adult is all about: fixing your mistakes.
While the new young adults should pay for their own trip, offer some financial incentives if they'll follow the agreement on map, location, checking in, etc. It's easy to help them pay bills along the way if they're following the plan. You just phone in the card. This gives you a measure of security and them, freedom.
Finally, make sure the young people know that they will have a hard time getting a decent motel room. Motels have gotten savvy about young adult travelers, and they don't like the damage they bring, so many will only rent to the over-21 crowd. There are lots of options to get around this, including tent camping if your daughter is the rugged type. And Miranda's idea of staying with a friend is another cost-saving measure that also provides some connection.
The days of helicoptering are over. Give your daughter the reins, offer some support, incentive and oversight, and be sure she has a good digital camera to capture the memories. I still like looking back at those old D.C. photos from 1981. I was thinner then.

The ebook wars have been raging for a few years now, and the result has been a bit muddled. Books have gone from floating around $9.99 to running anywhere from $14.99 to Free. Things likely won't stabilize anytime soon.
That's why we want to know what price for ebooks is right to you. First, we should set some parameters:
- For the purposes of this poll, we are only considering *new* ebooks.
- For the purposes of this poll, we are only concerned with novels. Short stories, novelettes, and novellas can wait for another day.
Now for the poll:
Feel free to leave a comment if you want to provide a specific price point, or a range that is not available above.

what does "calories lifestyle" mean?
what does the information "calories lifestyle" mean? Does this indicate how many calories I should consume in order to "keep" my weight at my current level?
Yes, your calories lifestyle shows how many calories someone of your height and weight needs to maintain their body weight if they are sitting all day, doing physical exercise all day, or whatever.
However, I'm not sure that sleeping is factored into this. I chose my lifestyle (mostly sitting with some activity) - that gave me about 2100 calories. Then I made an entry for 7 hrs sleep and that brought it down to 1900 calories daily.
So theoretically, if I eat 1900 calories a day, I should stay at this weight.
Ive been trying to have about a 7000 calorie deficit for the week (eating 1000-1500 calories daily) and making up the rest with exercise and other activities. That should result in about 2 lbs a week weight loss - which is what Ive been losing - so that tells me those numbers are about right.

CES 2014 should bring forth a few more models to be displayed by various companies, but iBuyPower is the first to show off their design for a Valve Steam Machine. Engadget has the details and pics of the living room console computer and it's a pretty simplistic design.
It's two large white slabs with the Steam logo on top and a light ring in the middle. The light ring can be changed so if you want a different color or don't want it on all together, you can do so. The box also houses a power supply, like traditional computers.
Reports are this machine, which will go on sale next year for $499, has an AMD CPU along with a Radeon R9 270 video card in it. 500GB of hard drive space along with WiFi and Bluetooth are inside with the interesting Steam Controller being bundled into the system as well.
iBuyPower says the machine is running an early version of SteamOS, so that means only Linux games can run on this system unless you put Windows on it.

The professor has watched me transition from blah brown to subtle blond highlights, body perm to stick straight and lifeless, from short stacked bob circa Victoria Beckham 2008 to fiery redhead with a dramatic angled cut and most recently, a long-layered blondie.
It's been awhile since I've been to my stylist – it's always a 3 hour adventure thanks to my super thick and horribly heavy mane, and to be quite honest, I enjoy a new style more after I've waited a few months. I like to see change. I like to be shocked when I look up in the mirror for the big reveal of the new 'do. When it comes to color, I want my money's worth. When it comes to a cut, I want something that won't be painful to comb out and style post-wash. The grown out layered cut I have right now? It's trash, man. It hurts to brush, it creates a sore spot on my head when I wear an up-do, it's tired looking, and I'm tired of it.
My husband on the other hand? He loves it. The longer the better. "Please, don't cut your hair", he said to me one day last week. "I like it long – I like the blond, too – just don't get it cut really short, please?" He flashed me pleading puppy dog eyes. I hate seeing those things.
Saturday morning, I tried a new conditioner. I screamed and winced in pain as I attempted to comb out my tangly, wet hair, broke out in a sweat and threatened to cut it allll off. I stomped into the bedroom, turned to my husband with a Paul Mitchell flat paddle brush stuck in my head and said, "YOU MEN want us women to keep our hair lonnnnng. I'm just telling you, you have no idea what we go through. I'm just telling you." (My Appalachian twang becomes way more pronounced in times of stress or excitement.) He ran to the living room and turned on Sportscenter. I skipped the detangling phase and went straight for the blowdryer to see if I could create a head full of dreadlocks for Richie to dismantle at my upcoming appointment. Somehow, I managed to survive Saturday morning's hair disaster, but I made a vow… at least 4 inches are coming off this 'effer. Maybe more. No, definitely more. My arms are super toned, and it's not because I lift weights. It's because I fight with this crazy mane every day.
Which leads me to the ultimate question for YOU MEN out there. Why do you like long hair so much? I'm curious. I know it looks pretty, but I'm almost positive that long haired ladies will agree: it's a nuisance. It's hot, it gets stringy, it gets stuck in our lipgloss when the wind blows. Good hair days are few and far between. Why can't ya just dig a trendy n' neat, short hairstyle? Why?
I'm being serious. I'd like an answer.

After dating her for only 42 days, Robert married his first wife, Deborah Falconer, on May 29, 1992. They had one child, Indio (b. September 7, 1993) before separating in 1996, in part due to Downey's drug problems, and got divorced on April 26, 2004.
In a symbolic attempt to "bury" his decadent 1980's brat pack image and begin a new phase of his life and career after filming Chaplin in 1991, Robert buried the clothes he wore in 1987's Less Than Zero in the back yard of his house.

Robert starred in Elton John video "I Want Love" in 2001. He lip-synced Elton's lyrics.
Robert: The best thing I can do, and I think this is the thing that's been my saving grace, is consider myself a worker amongst workers. When I deviate from that, things just don't turn out so sweet for me.
Robert: I've seen a bunch of movies where you think, here comes the big action sequence and there's the explosion and... That's when I go off to get more popcorn because I know the guys at the CGI studio or the stunt guys have taken over and I'm not following the story any more.
Robert: (on playing "Sherlock Holmes" and comparing his portrayal to those to play the role before him) In case you aren't aware I had a hell of a summer, and it's made me much more viable to play a lead role than I might have been in the past. And clearly I'm going to do it better than it's ever been done before.
Robert: (On doing the movie "Iron Man") I'm not a kid anymore externally, and if you're going to do something like this, you want to do it while there's a very low embarrassment factor age-wise.
Robert: I think I've been lucky, being my frequent appearances on Court TV have brought to me another level than just the actor guy. There's no pedestal thing happening. I'm very tangible to people because my fallibility is my forte.
Robert: A marriage is not easy. It would be stupid if you woke up one morning to find that you are the challenge. Then the person is no longer in love with you and it would probably be the end of the relationship. But I got the right gal.
Robert: I'm not a poster boy for good behavior and recovery in Hollywood. I'm just a guy who knows he has a lot to be grateful for.
Robert: Life is 70% maintenance. I think of myself as a shopkeeper or a beekeeper. I'm learning the business of building a life. Instead of getting instant gratification by getting high, I push my nose as far into the grindstone as I can. The honey, the reward, is the feeling of well-being, the continuity, the sense that I am walking toward a place I want to go.
Robert: I use to be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing after it, I was unhappy in my pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life that values honor, duty, good work, friends, and family.
Robert: Almost every day, I change at least three times. If I go away for a weekend, I swear to God I need the biggest Samsonite you can imagine.
Robert: Not to get all Michael Jackson on you, but I didn't really have a childhood. So I kind of fit it in between 28 and 37.
Robert: (On his addiction to drugs) It's like I have a loaded gun in my mouth, and I like the taste of metal.
Robert: (on the secret to his success; in a 2009 interview) It's pretty simple. As long as what you're working on is feeding you more than it's draining you, everything is cool. My motto, creatively speaking, is if you see fear, then head straight for it.
Robert: (On why people have helped him through his battle with drug addiction) ...maybe people sense my heart's in the right place.

One week from today, I will be just 75 days from my cruise on the Disney Dream. If you are a first-time Disney cruiser like me, this number will be very important to you. Seventy-five days is the time at which your final balance is due (for stateroom categories 4-12), and it is also the day that you must register your passport information, you can book excursions, and you may book special dining experiences, spa treatments and kids club reservations. This is also the last day to receive a refund if you have paid for your trip but need to cancel (but I sure hope you won't need to).
Since I will just be back from Walt Disney World, I would normally be drowning in PDTD (Post-Disney Trip Depression), but this year I will be hopping out of one magical experience while preparing for another. In order to be ready for it, I had to organize my thoughts ahead of time. I am very happy to share the same information with you today, so here are some of the things you can do to prepare for the "magical 75."
Paying your Final Balance
There are several ways in which to pay off your balance: you may use one or more credit cards, a Disney gift card, a Disney Rewards Redemption Card or a Disney Rewards Visa Card (which gives you 6 months at 0% interest). If you have reserved through a travel agent, make sure he/she has your credit card information ahead of time so you don't miss the deadline.
If you are booking multiple staterooms, you can pay for each stateroom individually or all staterooms together.
Note: If you did not book trip insurance when you booked your cruise, be aware that you must purchase it BEFORE your final balance is paid. Please allow at least a day ahead of time for this.
Registering your Passport Information
Disney Cruise Line asks that you provide your passport number 75 days prior to the start of your vacation. You can enter this information in your "Guest Information Form" in My Online Check-In. Again, if you are using a Disney Authorized Travel Agent, be sure to provide this information to your agent and he/she will take care of this step for you.
To prepare for my "magical 75," I have made a small spreadsheet with all of our names, birthdates, and passport numbers in order to enter them easily when the time comes.
Booking Excursions
First-time Disney cruisers can begin booking their shore excursions 75 days before departure. My family and I have been researching our options according to our budget. We have decided that we will not book an excursion for Nassau, Bahamas and will save our money for an excursion at Castaway Cay. We will book as soon as possible, though, as we want to make sure we get what we want. Previous cruisers are able to begin booking these at 90 days out so we will need to be on the ball.
Reserving a shore excursion is easy in the section entitled "My Cruise Activities." If you have small children, you can also select to reserve nursery time during the excursion and select the children in your party from the list of guests.
Booking Dining Reservations, Spa Treatments, Fitness Activities and Kids Club Reservations
Availability is limited for Palo dining, spa treatments, fitness activities and nursery time, so advance booking is recommended. Also, booking these ahead of time will help you to avoid long lines and paperwork on the first day of your cruise.
If you have children under age 18 in your party, you can pre-register them for the kid's programs. With your activities reserved in advance, you can relax and enjoy your vacation. Guests who choose not to pre-reserve shore excursions prior to their cruise may do it on the ship at the Shore Excursion Desk, but we are not taking any chances.
Reservations are filled on a first come, first serve basis and some excursions, reservations and events do have capacity limits. It is important to note that shore excursions are final and non-refundable once you are within 3 days of your sail date.
I hope this information will help you plan your "magical 75." You will want to make sure everything is planned ahead of time so you can just go and enjoy yourself without having to worry about it at the last minute.
If you have not yet planned a Disney Cruise, don't wait! I have heard nothing but fantastic feedback about the Dream.
Find out how the FREE services of a Disney World travel agent can make planning your Disney vacation simple…and for a limited time, get a FREE Disney gift card when you book your trip with me! ($2000 minimum package cost)

JAFFE'S KEYS TO THE GAMEby Staff Writer / New York Islanders
By Billy Jaffe
It was an emotional and disappointing loss for the Islanders on Thursday, but a win tonight against Washington will that behind them.
Here's my look at the keys to tonight's game, which can be seen on FSN NY at 7:00. Pre-game show starts at 6:30 pm.
1. Don't underestimate the Caps
This is the third team in a row that the Islanders have faced that is out of the playoff race. The Capitals are going to come out hard and the Islanders will have to be ready for a young, energetic team. This Capitals team has been playing well recently keeping eight out of the last ten games close. Ted Nolan has done a great job of preparing the Islanders all season. It's up to the boys to respond accordingly.
2. Put them away
If there's one thing the Islanders have been lacking recently, it's that killer instinct in the third period. If the Islanders get up on Washington, they need to finish them off.
3. Stopping Ovechkin
Alex Ovechkin is as explosive as they come. The Islanders have to eliminate him by taking the body. It's best to get right on him because if he gets a full head of steam going, he's tough to stop.
4. Power play options
This not so much a key, but an observation. Since the Islanders acquired Marc-Andre Bergeron and Ryan Smyth the power play has been much improved having scored in four of the past five games. Having Bergeron at the point gives the Islanders another option. The Islanders had only one power play in the game against St. Louis, but Smyth already contributed with a heads up play to set up Mike Sillinger. If the Islanders get some power play chances tonight, look for Smyth to be tipping and jamming pucks right in front of the net.

Live Nation is excited to announce the return to New Zealand of multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning Los Angeles legends, Red Hot Chili Peppers, to perform at Auckland's Vector Arena on Monday January 14, 2013.
The general on-sale date for tickets to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert will be announced shortly.

Even approaching 30 years as innovators of modern rock there's no sign of the iconic LA troubadours slowing down.
When it comes to modern rock anthems, you're hard pressed to find a band that constantly delivers hit after hit. Now officially GOLD, last year's album release, 'I'm With You' featuring vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Michael 'Flea' Balzary, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer (making his RHCP studio recording debut) peaked at # 1 on the New Zealand and UK album chart, as well as in 15 other countries around the globe.
The 2011 release was the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 10th studio album and their first in five years since blockbuster 'Stadium Arcadium' in 2006. Last time the band was in New Zealand it was for the first shows at the newly opened Vector Arena back in 2007, and it's a guarantee that the Chili's summer concert will be one that draws fans from North and South.
Live praise for Red Hot Chili Peppers
"? playing the part of heroes from Parliament/Funkadelic to Nirvana, the band may be at its genre-bending peak." - Steve Baltin, Rolling Stone
"? it feels like a celebration, but more of who the Red Hot Chili Peppers were than who they have become." - Dave Simpson, The Guardian
"? frontman Anthony Kiedis, still in great shape nearing 50, owns one of rock's best and most identifiable voices: a substantial but tender tenor when he sings; a rapper of tongue-twisting agility." - Evan Haga, The Baltimore Sun
Whether you're a fan of the 1990s classics 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' and 'One Hot Minute' that helped the alternative rock explosion of the grunge and punk influenced decade or the crispier, more mature and refined albums 'Californication' and 'By The Way' that saw the band reach their peak, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have fans of all ages.
The band's latest single 'Brendan's Death Song' currently circulating rock and mainstream radio, follows on from 'The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie', and rock anthems 'Under The Bridge', 'Give It Away', 'Suck My Kiss', 'Aeroplane', 'Rollercoaster', 'Scar Tissue', 'Californication', 'Slow Cheetah' and so many more continue to blast through your speakers.
Simply put, Red Hot Chili Peppers are still one of the biggest and best rock bands in the world today.

* FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.3 pct, Euro STOXX 50 down 0.6 pct
* Spain, Italy lead losses on weak data, Iberdrola placing
* LVMH leads rally in luxury stocks after update
By Francesco Canepa
LONDON, April 10 (Reuters) - Spanish and Italian stocks led European shares lower on Thursday as investors cashed in on the star performers this year after some disappointing data and more jittery market conditions.
Spain's Ibex 35 and Italy's FTSE MIB, the best performers among major European indexes this year, had fallen 1.3 percent and 0.8 percent respectively by 1457 GMT, lagging smaller losses for their peers in Britain, Germany and France.
Sentiment on Italy was clouded by weaker-than-expected industrial output data, while a discounted share placement by Iberdrola triggered a selloff in Spanish utilities.
Spanish and Italian shares have rallied more than 25 percent since June 2013, leaving them trading at the highest valuation versus pan-European stocks since 2006, Datastream data showed.
Market volatility in recent weeks - triggered by economic and geopolitical concerns in emerging economies from Ukraine to China at a time when the Federal Reserve is tightening its purse strings - was leading some investors to take profits on the best performers.
"For people who've called that trade ... we believe it is prudent to err on the side of caution and take some profit," Arran Lamont, equity trading strategist at Citi, said.
"At the moment macro issues are clouding the view somewhat, and accordingly we are adjusting for a more cautious period of time in the short term."
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index fell 0.3 percent to 1,333.52 points while the euro zone blue chip Euro STOXX 50 index fell 0.6 percent to 3,164.58 points.
Luxury goods makers surged, however, as Louis Vuitton owner LVMH posted better-than-expected quarterly sales in a key division, easing concerns over the potential impact of turmoil in emerging markets.
"Given the tough trading conditions highlighted by soft luxury peers - we believe these results are reassuring," Barclays analysts wrote in a note.
Shares in LVMH rose 3.3 percent, Christian Dior advanced 2.2 percent, while Richemont progressed by 1.3 percent.

About one-half (52 percent) of organizations provided employees the option of flexible work arrangements such as teleworking in 2014, however only one-third (33 percent) of those reported that the majority of their employees were actually allowed to use them.
This participation rate is a decrease from 2013 (45 percent), but is similar to 2012 (34 percent), according to the
Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
2014 Strategic Benefits--Flexible Work Arrangements survey report, released Jan. 22, 2015. The report consists of the responses of a randomly selected sample of 380 U.S. SHRM members.
"More employees may feel comfortable using the [flexible work arrangements] they have access to if the job market continues to improve and concerns about job security diminish," the report said. "In addition, technological barriers are also less of an obstacle, making it possible to seamlessly do one's work from anywhere."
About one-third (31 percent) of respondents from organizations that provided employees with the option to use flexible work arrangements indicated employee participation increased last year compared with the year before. Just 1 percent indicated employee participation had decreased.
The report indicated that the provision of flexible work arrangements may be a sign that "cultural barriers to such benefits are starting to erode."
However, "it is important to understand the obstacles that may be impacting employee participation rates in flexible work arrangements," said Evren Esen, SHRM director of survey programs. "There needs to be support from management and leadership in order for more employees to participate in flexible work arrangements."
If this trend continues, a "have and have-nots" pattern of access to flexible work arrangements could develop, said Esen. "This could, in turn, have an impact on employee morale and engagement."
Esen encouraged HR to work with line managers to "model flexibility in their own approaches to work and to demonstrate that those who do make use of flexible work arrangements are not penalized when it comes to promotions and career opportunities."
Forty-five percent of respondents said their organization monitored employee participation rates for the flexwork offered. Monitoring was down slightly from 2013 (47 percent), but at an increase from 2012 (38 percent). This metric is likely to become a standard part of any organization reporting on workplace flexibility, said Esen.

A day after their season ended with a 17-6 playoff loss in San Diego, the Tennessee Titans pointed toward a future that has many questions to be answered, but nonetheless appears brighter than it has been in awhile.
The Titans finished the regular season 10-6 and qualified for their first playoff berth in four seasons by doing so. They did so with a resurgent defense that finished fifth overall in the NFL this season and with an offense that struggled to score touchdowns, relying too often on the foot of kicker Rob Bironas for field goals, instead of reaching the end zone.
It was part of what brought their demise against the Chargers, as the Titans went 0-for-3 in the red zone and finished last in the NFL in that category this season.
In terms of the off-season program, free agency and the draft, there will be several areas that must be addressed.
Haynesworth's home
First, the Titans will have to keep as many pieces of their defense together as possible, starting with Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who will be a free agent in March unless a new contract deal is reached. The Titans might have to opt to place the franchise tag on Haynesworth to keep him in the fold for 2008 while negotiations are ongoing.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher did not address specifics regarding the Titans unrestricted free agents, but praised Haynesworth's play this season as a key factor in the defensive success. When Haynesworth missed three games with a hamstring injury, the Titans lost all three and nearly missed the playoffs because of it.
"He's certainly an impact player for us. He had a lot to do with the (6-2) start," Fisher said. "As I've said numerous times, his unavailability probably contributed to that difficult stretch we experienced."
Haynesworth said initial dialogue with his agent Chad Speck and the Titans had begun, and he wants to stay with the Titans, if possible.
"I hear really, really good things from him [Speck], and hopefully, we'll get things worked out. We're talking a little bit, so I think that's a good sign," Haynesworth said. "I'm going to still be here and working out with the team and stuff like that. I'm going to do my part and let the people I hire do their part."
Haynesworth said he couldn't imagine himself in another uniform, but conceded it could happen with the way free agency is, adding at the end, "but hopefully not."
Other free agents on the defensive line include ends Antwan Odom and Travis LaBoy and defensive tackle Randy Starks. The Titans probably need to re-sign either Odom or LaBoy if possible, and have the cap space ($40 million by some estimates) do perhaps retain both.
Work in progress
Elsewhere on the defense, Fisher would not address the situation of suspended cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, who can now return to the facility to work out, but will have his case reviewed after the Pro Bowl for reinstatement.
"That falls along the lines of our discussions, as far as how we're going to handle free agency. I'm not prepared to comment on it," Fisher said. "We've got a lot of internal discussions that will be taking place regarding his status."
Offensively, is where the Titans have plenty of work to do. Quarterback Vince Young, while improving his completion percentage, took major steps backward in terms of touchdown passes and interceptions.
Fisher said Young is still a work in progress.
"It's just the overall play of the quarterback. It takes quarterbacks time. It's hard to say it's this or it's that," Fisher said. "He made a lot of great throws this year and his completion percentage was up. He pulled the ball down yesterday and ran with it. It's just a process that you go through, to where you recognize things. The more comfortable he is in our offense, the easier it is for us to make adjustments on the fly."
One primary issue is how to get Young more weapons, whether it is at running back, wide receiver or tight end.
Young's top receiver this season, Justin Gage, is a free agent, as is running back Chris Brown, tight ends Ben Troupe and Ben Hartsock and guard Jacob Bell.
"We're going to look at different things. We need people to score touchdowns," Fisher said. "We like game-breaking-type players."
Bye, bye Benji?
In addition, there is the chance that guard Benji Olson could retire. Fisher said getting playmakers is a key on offense.
"I don't know. I'm not making any decision right now," said Olson, who has been with the team since 1998, but missed Sunday's playoff game. "I'm going to take some time and re-evaluate things right now. I'm going to take my time to see if my back can calm down. The football player inside me he still wants to keep going, but the body starts talking to you a little bit and sometimes you've got to start listening to it."
Olson admitted it would be hard to leave a Titans team that now appears back on the upswing after four years of struggles.
Other veterans are excited about 2008 as well.
"We've got a ton of money we can spend. We definitely could be a serious contender if they go out and do what we're hearing that they say they're going to do," Haynesworth said.
Added linebacker Keith Bulluck, "Next year the stakes are going to be higher. Everybody is gonna want to be here and get it started."
Mr. Adams, You need a new head coach.
You are wrong, but you need more tarps over your seats, pitiful, just pitiful.
Everyone needs playmakers, the question is who will the Titans try to sign? A WR would be nice but Fisher has not done anything as a coach to prove that a WR can do anything here but get hurt. Or maybe Chow needs to head back to college, VY has not developed much under his leadership which was one of the reasons they brought Chow here. I don't know the answer, I do know that if they expect the D to win every week, we might be a playoff team but we'll be a one and done playoff team.
I agree Cowboy84 that Norm Chow probably needs to head back to the college game. He has shown nothing as an Offensive Coordinator on the NFL level. We've seen it over and over again, a successful college coach failing misrably in the NFL, Saban, Petrino, Lou Holtz, Steve Spurrier and now Norm Chow. Just because a coach is successful on one level doesn't mean he will be successful on the next level. Bud Adams has a reputation for being tight so I can't see the Titans seeing of the big name Free Agent Recievers. They have signed them in the past and just about everyone of them, Carl Pickens, Yancy Thigpen and David Givens have been busts and spent more time on the IR than on the playing field.

Targum means translation. The best-known are Onkeloss Aramaic translation of the Torah, and the Targum Yonatan of the books of the prophets.
Traditionally, the public Torah-reading on Shabbat would be accompanied by verse-by-verse translation into the Aramaic vernacular, rendered by a functionary called the torgaman, the official translator.
Until recently, this was still the practice in Yemenite communities.
Interestingly, the root of the word targum appears to be ragam, meaning to project an object (especially a stone.) This is parallel to the derivation of the word translate, which means to bear across,to move from one domain to another.
Judaism has an intensely ambivalent attitude to translation of its sacred texts. The public translation of the Torah reflected the importance of the Jewish masses understanding what they heard. On the other hand, the rabbis were aware that something is always lost in translation.
Whole religions have been nourished by misunderstandings that have sprouted from accidental or deliberate mistranslations of the Torah into Greek or Latin.
The Talmud (Megillah 3a) reports that when Yonatan Ben Uziel translated the books of the prophets, the ground shuddered across an area of 400 parsangs and a heavenly voice demanded to know why esoteric secrets were thus being revealed. Yonatan replied that he had acted only for Gods honour so that the meaning of the prophets should be made unambiguously clear.
Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) noted that the gematria (numerical equivalent) of targum is tardemah, meaning slumber.
ArtScroll and others have helped to spread Jewish knowledge through the translation of the Talmud and other sources, but Torah study in English misses much, as if we were half-asleep.

The addresses of one in six homes in Jefferson and Broomfield counties are entered inconsistently in databases used to warn people when there is an emergency, officials say.
This means that as many as 100,000 homeowners may not receive notification if an evacuation is ordered should another wildfire break out.
The revelation came as Jefferson County officials try to sort out why a woman who died during the Lower North Fork Fire and many others did not receive notifications to evacuate.
In the case of Ann Appel, 51, she was not notified because her address was inaccurately listed as being in Morrison instead of Littleton, as it should have been.
"There are 100,000 numbers that are not properly mapped," Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Jacki Kelly said. "We don't know how many of those are in our jurisdiction."
Appel, 51, who lived at 14141 Broadview Circle, did not receive a notification call even though she called at 2:34 p.m. on March 26 and reported that a fire reignited from a controlled burn the week before was "blowing smoke right over my house."
The wildfire destroyed 27 homes and burned 4,140 acres. Sam Lucas, 77, and his wife Linda, 76, who were also killed during the fire, did receive an emergency notification.
When evacuation calls were first made just after 5 p.m. on March 26, only people with addresses listed as Littleton received the notifications, according to minutes of a conference call meeting between sheriff's officials and FirstCall Network that provides the notifications. Many people who listed cell phones and e-mails with the county were mistakenly ordered to evacuate, and their questions for dispatchers tied up 911 lines.
An undetermined number of addresses were listed inaccurately as being in Morrison and none of those homeowners got notifications.
Matt Teague, president of FirstCall, said his company manually corrected the addresses within the Lower North Fork Fire zone that should have listed with a Littleton address.
His company is now working with CenturyLink and GeoComm to make sure all 100,000 mismatching phone and address records coincide to prevent future notification gaps. In some cases, an address in one database uses abbreviations for streets and the other the street name is spelled out.
In all, there are 600,000 phones and devises listed in the databases First Call uses for notifications throughout Jefferson and Broomfield counties.
"I think we're on the right track," Teague said. "We want to make sure every address matches up."
Sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer said officials are trying to track down how many people did not receive a call during the wildfire, but it has been difficult to get information from FirstCall.
"This problem isn't even close to being fixed," he said.
Techmeyer said he would like to know when FirstCall first knew about the mismatched addresses and if they've known about it for some time, why they didn't fix the problems.
If addresses didn't match exactly, a phone was listed to a default address in the town of origin, which may not guarantee an emergency notification if the default address isn't part of the evacuation area, Kelley said.
FirstCall is developing a method for residents to look up their record in the system to make sure it is accurate.
Jefferson and Broomfield county residents who wish to have receive emergency notification via a cell phone can do so by registering their phones with the Jefferson County Emergency Communications Authority.

The winter holiday season when stripped of the emphasis on commercialism and overindulgence is, at its roots, about joy, peace, and the changing of the season. Remembering to find time to tune into those aspects during the month of December is challenging but truly helpful if we want to stay connected to the inner cues our body is sending us re: our physical, emotional, and social needs. This Art Directive is a playful way to remember how NOT to lose ourselves while engaged in the whirlwind of giving to others.

- Brain storm on 1-4 realistic ways to find a place of peace or source of joy to tap into during the month of December. This can be as simple as sitting quietly somewhere, looking at favorite art work, doing a crossword puzzle, going to a museum, unplugging your phone for an hour, etc. Whatever you choose remember the purpose is to provide the opportunity to check in with your thoughts, needs, and replenish yourself.
- Put one idea on each postcard using symbols, pictures, words, colors, etc. Go all out AS IF it is a gift you are giving someone else because we frequently put more effort into other people than we do to ourselves. This card is a gift-note to yourself to remind you to take some self-care time.
- Address the cards to yourself and put stamps on them.
Exchange the cards with someone else in the group, or give them to the therapist/facilitator or good friend, someone you can trust, to mail one card each week of December.
If this is an Expressive Arts Therapy group, gather in a circle and share your strategies for self-care with each other and discuss the differences and similarities in how people find places of peace and joy. If there is time, or next session, do some role plays and identify potential barriers and workable solutions to fulfilling these commitments?
Special Note: Remind participants that if they are unable to follow through with the suggestions on the cards not to PUNISH themselves. Sometimes the reasons why we don't do something provides us with important information.
This expressive arts directive is from contributing guest author Dr. Deah Schwartz. Once a month, Dr. Schwartz shares an art therapy activity or idea to facilitate exploration, increased awareness and healing in the areas of body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. Some of these activities may need to be facilitated over more than one session, or modified for different ability levels, size of group, budget and size of work space. These directives may be used in individual or group therapy sessions or as self-help activities. Sometimes the activity itself is nothing new or brilliant but the OBJECTIVE of the directive is unique and specifically tailored to exploring issues related to body image and disordered eating. ENJOY! Fun is the main ingredient! Learn more about eating disorder therapy here.

Lucifer is Rising and the World is Shaking
- At October 11, 2012
- By Theophilos
- In Articles
- 0
At the beginning of my previous article I used a magic word: Asura.
Many scholars suggest that the word 'Asura' originated from the god 'Ashur' (who is another form of Marduk) and I will keep this just as a note in my effort to explain the meaning and the functions of the Asuras that were correctly equated with the fallen angels or demons.
In older parts of the Rig Veda, Asura refers to the supreme spirit, like the Zoroastrian Ahura Mazdah.
Ahura is the Persian word equivalent to the Hindu word, Asura.
Indra, who was the king of the Devas (deities), was also considered an Asura. Indra is a thunder god equated very often with the Greek Zeus, but also with Marduk (the King of Heaven and Shepherd of the gods) who was the first known thunder god and clearly the originator of this archetype.
Odin, who was also considered a king of the gods, was an Aesir, which is equated by most scholars with the word Asura.
The god of light Apollo (the Sun) was called "Phosphoros Demon" that means the light bringer demon (Lucifer?).
The word demon originated from the Greek language and was delivered by the word 'daemon' which means, 'the wise one who knows', and as an example we have the story of Socrates who was speaking with his demonio which was an expression of the higher intelligence of his higher self.
The Greeks still use this word when speaking about a HIGHER INTELIGENCE that is not always limited to wicked will. The by default wicked will was ADDED to this word without any linguistic justification.
Some misguided Greeks of the present are based on this linguistic truth and because of their ignorance they fall under the dominion of malevolent spirits that are correctly called demons and I will explain why.
The etymology of the word Asura is not as clear as the word demon (explained above), but the generally accepted meaning is "Power Seeking" and/or from the breath (asu) of Prajapati, or from the root as (to be).
Ahura in the Persian language means the light and Mazda means wisdom. So Ahura Mazda is light and wisdom in the view of the Persians.
Asuras, like the earlier traditions of Hinduism are teaching , they are the beings that are the equivalent in power in darkness as the Devas (deities) are in day light. They are not always considered bad, even if they are power seeking spirits that work in the shadow which was also taught by the initiated Pythagoreans such as Iamblichus, who spoke about the beneficial demons that are not afraid the light and that have under their control the malevolent demons.
So what are these beings of darkness that are called Demons or Asuras? And why is the supreme spirit and the King of gods also known as Asura or Demon (Apollo for example)?
The answer is very simple, really. The beings that work in darkness (shadow) seeking wisdom, knowledge and power (where knowledge IS power) over the shadow, for bad or even for GOOD reasons are generally called this way and this is an acceptable way to describe this beings.
Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the Shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular. Carl Gustav Jung
The primordial Asura/Ahura, the HIGHER INTELIGNECE from where everything originated was an Asura/Daemon cause IT WORKED into darkness to bring light (Lucifer) and LIFE into it.
After, this being was divided into deities (devas) that had power in the day light, and their equivalent opposite had the power over darkness, over the shadow.
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:4
Likewise Atum, in the Egyptian tradition, was considered the first being that arose from darkness in the form of a serpent (!) and it is said that he will return in this form at the end of his cycle. It is also said that later he will become the enemy of the Serpent (!) when he becomes Atum Ra (the Sun), the ultimate good (!), and the enemy of Apep/Apophis (the Egyptian equivalent of Satan) who will be called the 'Evil Lizard' or the 'Evil Serpent' (!) and will be equated with ultimate Evil.
What this fundamental archetypal projection suggests is that the primordial Being that is the source of all life WORKS into darkness to bring light (Lucifer), so in this sense, we can say that this being is an ASURA, a power seeking being that possesses the HIGHER INTELIGENCE (Demon) that gives birth to everything and has power over darkness, while governing the cycles of the Serpents and not being limited with power in the day light.
The Devas are beings of purity and light that even in their incarnations refuse to leave from Nirvana. The Devas try to help people reach their state of enlightenment in a passive way, while the Asuras good and bad, are getting their hands dirty for their good or bad reasons while they have chosen to rebel (yes, this is also a half-truth they have told you) and become CREATOR GODS, and like the supreme spirit, bring light into darkness (Lucifer). Because of this they are chained by karmic laws, like for example Prometheus was chained by Zeus. While this rebel spirits continue to be polarized into the world of polarization and illusion (Maya), their ego is being trapped even deeper into their thought forms and thus become wicked and burn in hell (allegorically speaking).
The ONLY way to reach higher intelligence is to REBEL against the existing forms and start seeking power over darkness, thus by expanding your creational power you also expand your shadow and your destruction power. Because of this, for everything you create, you destroy something else, and not even the supreme spirit can avoid this reality as creating something is by DEFAULT destruction of something else. So the Supreme Spirit itself has to go through the same inner process through the cycle of death and rebirth just as YOU do.
Seeking wisdom and intelligence (seeking power) has its cost if you don't have the spiritual capacity to create beneficial thought forms you may be trapped in your shadow that is expanding in every step you make and thus can create imbalance and even insanity.
You can also be trapped into irreversible karmic loops and time vortexes and be unable to repent.
These shadow beings that have been trapped into an irreversible condition do not really have any power over ascended beings (like saints) who have put locks and seals on them and the divine order is not at risk. It is your soul that is at risk and the collective soul of the planet.
You will meet these beings if you try to reach higher inner truths through your intelligence, as they put locks and seals within your shadow to suck your energy and entrap your mind and soul in their illusions.
If you study the stories of the saints and demons you will discover that demons know that Christ is pure light but they CANNOT ask for forgiveness (from their soul and divine spark, from the god within, not a god that is outside and above them), and they cannot find repentance (they cannot look within-introvert). They fear the light and usually panic when a light being is approaching them.
So here we come with the birth of ESOPHORIA which means 'to look within'; look inside and introvert while you may still have a choice.
This is how the malevolent demons came into existence and this is how some people try to gain immortality through darkness. In most cases people that try to control dark forces become food for dark lords (ancient universal spirits that have great spiritual capacity, that can offer only lies, half truths, fake hopes, materialistic power in the best case, death and damnation) have found ways to survive within darkness by feeding off the energy of others (thus they have also been labeled as 'vampires').
Those who have generated positive karma in previous life times know it or feel it; they have strong attachments with angelic beings and they are like newborn children of the angelic family and they are able to ascend into higher dimensions-higher states of consciousness.
Those who have generated negative karma in previous lives also know it or feel it. You can find these kind of people (mentally disturbed) in society, hunting down those who are working in the light, and they do this in the name of some ancient idol buried in time, or in the name of some lower, incomplete and soul-less science.
Some people foolishly believe that light is only beneficial or even passive to our thought patterns and our desires and even the thought of this is ridiculous. Try to go close to the Sun and not being burned. Are you a god? Are you the Sun? Are you the mind of the Supreme Being? Is your ego worth so much to hurt innocent people? Well let's see how much your ego is worth in a reality where the pricing is made with REAL qualities and not by the stupid papers that you call possessions.
Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected and is liable to burst forth suddenly in a moment of unawareness. At all events, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions. Carl Gustav Jung
Light is by DEFAULT the creation AND the destructing force. When you create something you destroy something else by DEFAULT. Just use your hands if you can't use your brains and try to create something without destroying something else.
Let it be known that knowledge is not something good by default; knowledge is just a tool that you can use for good or bad reasons (remember the Cohanim hands in my previous article).
So yes, Lucifer is bad. Lucifer is terrible. Lucifer will BURN darkness with his fire. Lucifer is the LORD of darkness and all this malevolent spirits know about his existence in one way or another and they should know that there is a force that has power over them.
I will not analyze in this article the Chaldean and Babylonian origins of the Hebrew tradition, but I will give a definition for Lucifer and for Satan that is present in ALL the initiation systems, even if you just see him through Asuras, or Typhon, the enemy of Zeus, or even as Apep, the enemy of Amun Ra.
According to the great occult master Carl Jung (one of my guides, by the way, as Thoth informed me), our shadow is what we have called 'Satan' or 'Lucifer' and many other names through different traditions and this is the whole of the truth.
The Shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge, and it therefore, as a rule, meets with considerable resistance. Indeed, self-knowledge as a psychotherapuetic measure frequently requires much painstaking work extending over a long period of time. Carl Gustav Jung
The Supreme Being like us (we created in its image), while it is the cause and the source of everything and the creating force of the universe, also generates a shadow by CREATING and thus DESTROYING everything.
Isaiah 45:7
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.
Job 12:13-25
"13 To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
14 What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man he imprisons cannot be released.
15 If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
16 To him belong strength and victory; both deceived and deceiver are his.
17 He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges.
18 He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist.
19 He leads priests away stripped and overthrows men long established.
20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders.
21 He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.
22 He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light.
23 He builds up nations, and he destroys them. He expands nations, and he abandons them.
24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he sends them wandering through a trackless waste.
25 They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

The Zoroastrian tradition of the crucified and resurrected saviour god of Light, Mithras, presented this reality a long before Jung, where Ahriman (the supreme Evil) was the SHADOW of Ahura Mazda and not something outside or under him.
If you do not understand that the Alchemical Process of the integration and assimilation of the opposite (Divine Marriage) is an inner process of the Supreme Being itself (remember Atum), how you will understand that everything is one and that you are an image-form of God?
This Alchemical Process is also known as the dragon slaying process where the hero god of light slays the dragon, and by defeating the powers of chaos brings order. This is an INNER Alchemical Process where the Supreme Being slays its shadow and brings order WITHIN and also all the minor deities and mortals go through this inner process (since everything is within it), even if they choose it or not. Even if they fight with the dragon consciously or unconsciously, or even if they submit and continue to be polarized into the world of illusion (Maya) and be sucked by the powers of darkness that have power over the shadow.
And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and Phosphoros rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19
In 2 Peter 1:19 "Phosphoros" (like Apollo) is the morning star and light-bearer who rises in the hearts of "orthodox" Christians with the light of intelligence and understanding. This is similar to what Blavatsky says of Lucifer: like 2 Peter 1:19 Blavatsky states that Lucifer is in us: Lucifer, the "Lord of Phosphorus", is the light of intelligence within. And then in Revelations 22:16 "Jesus" claims to be the "bright morning star" and he claims that he will give the "morning star" to his disciples (Rev. 2:28). In 2 Peter 1:19 the morning star is identified specifically with Phosphoros (Lucifer). Together, 2 Peter 1:19 and Revelation 2:28 confirm that the morning star is Phosphoros or Lucifer. Jesus likewise identifies himself with the "morning star" which 2 Peter calls "Phosphoros" or Lucifer.
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star." – Revelation 22:16
"Thus LUCIFER — the spirit of Intellectual Enlightenment and Freedom of Thought — is metaphorically the guiding beacon, which helps man to find his way through the rocks and sandbanks of Life, for Lucifer is the LOGOS in his highest, and the "Adversary" in his lowest aspect — both of which are reflected in our Ego. No Entity, whether angelic or human, can reach the state of Nirvana, or of absolute purity, except through aeons of suffering and the knowledge of EVIL as well as of good, as otherwise the latter remains incomprehensible. – Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the Morning Star! – Revelation 2:28
So my definition is this: Lucifer is the SON OF GOD. He is the bringer of the light WITHIN. It is RIDICULOUS to claim that the bringer of light is the Devil. He is our divine spark, our divine essence which is chained and crucified within our shadow. He is CHRIST.
Satan/Ahriman (the ultimate Evil) is the Shadow of the Supreme Being (Ahura Mazda), which the light bringer savior god (Apollo-Mithras-Christ) will slay at the end of his cycle, and through this alchemical process all the beings came from him (and from the minor deities that manifested from him) will be JUDGED by this INNER alchemical process in order to enter the new cycle.
Here is my gift to you: a nice, juicy, red apple. Take it and give it to your man and let's put fire in darkness.

Two beans are grown for beauty, the Hyacinth Bean, edible with precautions, and the Scarlet Runner Bean, also edible.
It's interesting that these two beans are so unlike the rest of the bean world yet so much alike. Both trail, that is, love to climb. They are showy, one towards purple the other red. They are perennials though are treated as annuals, and have starchy, edible roots. Their young leaves are eaten as well as their beans. Like the Hyacinth Bean the Scarlet Runner Bean also has tasty edible flowers. For the Hyacinth Bean go here.
Botanically in Dead Latin the Scarlet Runner Bean is Phaseolus coccineus (fay-see-OH-lus koh-SIN-ee-us.) That's the bastardization of two living Greek words that mean "Red Bean" though the seeds are multi-colored. (In Greek it's: fah-SO-lee KOH-kee-no.) The Scarlet Runner Bean has also been called the Oregon Lima Bean, Aycoctl by the Aztecs, and Ayocote by the Spanish. It's native to Central America and has escaped cultivation in many areas. This bean is still on the home kitchen menu in its original range but the rest of the world grows it as an ornamental. Lots of folks also use it as a nectar attraction for hummingbirds and butterflies. Historically, Scarlet Runner Bean was in English and early American gardens by the 1600s.
There are some dozen and a half cultivars now. (Cultivars are made by man, varieties are made by nature.) The Dutch Phaseolus coccineus v. alba has white flowers. The "Butler" is stringless, "Painted Lady" has red and white flowers, the "Kelvedon Wonder" is an early variety with long pods, "Sunset" has pink flowers, and the "Scarlet Emperor" …has scarlet flowers. Under right conditions the Scarlet Runner Bean is the most productive of all the planted beans.
Like most beans the Scarlet Runner Bean contains small amounts of the lectin phytohaemagglutinin (figh-toe-hee-mah-GLUE-tin-inn.) The highest amount is in uncooked red kidney beans. It's toxic in large amounts which is why kidney beans are always long-cooked. As few as five raw kidney beans can cause symptoms such as losing fluids and feeling lousy for four or five hours. While there are many people who report they eat Scarlet Runner Beans seeds raw it is a good practice to cook them. The young pods before beans truly develop are eaten raw.
I have planted both to climb guy wires near local telephone poles. It's a win win win as they say. The ugly wire is covered with an attractive vine and blossom, I get to harvest the bean without having to give up any space or create a trellis, and the birds and bees are happy.
Green Deane's "Itemized" Plant Profile: Scarlet Runner Bean
IDENTIFICATION: Phaseolus coccineus: Quick-growing vines, typical bean three-leaflet, dark green with purple tinged veins underneath, to 15 feet long/tall, red flowers borne in clusters like sweet peas, slender pods to a foot long. Seeds lima bean shape, color varies from shining black to violet-black mottled with deep red.
TIME OF YEAR: All year in warm climates, seasonally in temperate summer and fall
ENVIRONMENT: Fertile soil, adequate moisture, full sun, preferably something to climb on or it will ball up on the ground. Does better in moderate climates than either very hot or very cold.
METHOD OF PREPARATION: Young tender pods sparingly raw. Usually they are boiled, steamed, sauteed, baked, French-cut (in strips) before cooking; immature seeds used like shelled beans, read cooked; ripe, dried seeds used like dry kidney or Lima beans, long cooked; flowers have a bean-like flavor and are used in salads. Young leaves used as a pot herb, starchy root cooked. It is good food for cattle as well.

Legit Online Jobs
With the growing prominence of telecommuting in today's economy, it is
of little surprise that many people are curious exactly
how online jobs work.
The process can be a little odd for people and workers who have never
done any kind of similar work, and who are solely accustomed to working
in an established work place with a certain number of coworkers. The
process itself is really not all that difficult in theory, but due to
the ever changing nature of the technology involved, coupled by the
growing familiarity on the part of many with numerous kinds of
telecommuting systems, the process can seem a little murky, to say the
least. But rest assured, that working through online mediums is actually
a relatively well established process that has been around for more than
a decade in one form or another. In fact, the number of people working
legit online jobs
has grown by double digits each and every year of the 21st century so
far, and that number looks to continue its torrid pace well into the
Online Tutoring And Teaching
One of the most popular forms of employment around right now is online tutoring and online teaching. These jobs can bring the professional expertise of teachers and tutors from all over the world to students on opposite ends of the globe in a way that no other form of teaching or tutoring can match. And, with the growing sophistication of interactive platforms, students who learn their courses online grasp the material much better than those who simply sit in a class room and interact with the material in a passive way.
Online Administration And Accounting
Another one of the jobs that can be offered through the Internet is an array of administrative and accounting services for various clients, that no longer wish to pay a full time staff to do it for them in house. This means that there are a number of opportunities out there for workers who have accounting or administrative skills to handle work from various clients over the Internet, in the comfort of their own home. No other medium really offers that, and as the 21st century carries on, more and more companies will outsource these types of jobs to freelance workers over the Internet.
And, as the 21st century carries on, it is becoming more and more clear that the work place of the future will be through online jobs. Telecommuting is too powerful of a tool to be long ignored, and the growing prominence of the medium indicates very strongly that more companies are favoring the immense cost benefits that come from having an online work force. Coupled with that is the fact that workers enjoy the set up very much themselves, for numerous reasons. Everything from the cost savings of transportation to the fact that telecommuting gives them a sense of independence and entrepreneurialism makes it an extremely attractive option indeed. More and more, workers will be shifting to legit online jobs as the nature of the economy will favor such business models over most every other type.

IMO it's generally better to have a different method for each type. -- Gerhard
