After 12 years, a federal court in Germany has settled an epic Easter battle: It ruled Lindt & Spruengli, the Swiss chocolatier, could not trademark its gold-foil wrapped easter bunny chocolates.
Germany's international broadcaster Deutsche Welle reports:
"The case in Germany's highest administrative court was the fourth and final one Lindt lost in its attempt to win copyright protection of its Easter bunny model. The court had to answer whether it was legally possible to register a product, which was in general use for decades, as a trademark, said Daniel Terheggen, Riegelein's lawyer from Lindner & Blaumeier Attorneys.
"'The ruling has set a legal precedent in copyright law with which we are very satisfied,' he added.
"Confiserie Riegelein was the only defendant left to face up to Lindt in the courts, after a number of smaller chocolate-making firms succumbed to the pressure exerted by the Swiss giant."
Of course Riegelein was very happy.
"The sitting gold-wrapped bunny has been a firm part of our offering for at least a half century," Peter Riegelein said, according to The Guardian. "Now it is finally clear that it can stay as it is."
Lindt hinted the fight was not over.
"We will continue to defend our Lindt gold bunny in the future whenever necessary," the company said in a statement.

007 One by One: 'You Only Live Twice'
Bullz-Eye is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first James Bond film with look back at every Bond movie, 007 One by One, along with a series of features about the Bond franchise, all laid out in our James Bond Fan Hub.
As the worldwide spy craze peaks, the James Bond series settles in for the long, tongue-in-cheek haul with this often maligned but very enjoyable entry, introducing the world to both ninjas and the original Dr. Evil. It also might have been the final appearance of Sean Connery as 007, except that it wasn't.
"You Only Live Twice" (1967)
The Plot
A United States space capsule is hijacked, killing one astronaut. Naturally, the Americans assume the Soviets are at fault and world war seems a real possibility. There's only one thing for the level-headed English to do: Stage James Bond's death and send him on an undercover mission to Japan to expose SPECTRE head Ernst Stavro Blofeld's plot to dominate the world by partially destroying it.
The Backstory
With enormous success comes enormous pressures and change was very definitely in the air as "You Only Live Twice" began production. Now one of the world's most bankable stars after the mega-success of "Thunderball," Sean Connery was contractually on board for only one more film and starting to be seriously fed up with all the 007 insanity.
Behind the camera, original Bond director Terrence Young had had his fill and "Goldfinger" helmer Guy Hamilton was unavailable. Editor and second unit director Peter Hunt, who had been instrumental in the series' creative success, badly wanted to helm the project, but producers Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman apparently weren't ready for a first timer for Bond #5. Therefore, a new recruit was sought out to join the small fraternity of James Bond directors.
An old hand at period pieces and war films, Lewis Gilbert was hot off an Oscar nomination for a classic-to-be about a compulsive womanizer who could give Bond a run for his money. "Alfie" starred Connery's good friend, fellow movie spy, and now award-winning box office rival, Michael Caine.
Lewis Gilbert also brought along one of the very few directors of photography who could have reasonably stepped into the very big shoes of series regular Ted Moore. Freddie Young had won the first of his four Oscars a couple of years prior for David Lean's visually stunning 1963 70mm masterpiece, "Lawrence of Arabia." For the sake of keeping things consistent, all the other key collaborators, were back on board in their regular roles, i.e., composer John Barry, credit designer Maurice Binder, and production designer Ken Adam. For once, they'd all have a nice budget to play with, too.
The script, however, was an issue. The novel "You Only Live Twice," was the last Bond book published in Ian Fleming's lifetime and the story was problematic for more than one reason. For starters, it was actually the third and final installment in what literary Bond fans call "the Blofeld Trilogy." EON's original intent had been to film the books in their original order. That way Blofeld, who had been teased as a character starting in "Dr. No," would get his long-delayed onscreen introduction in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and finally suffer James Bond's revenge in the follow-up, "You Only Live Twice." Unfortunately, logistics made the ski chalet setting of "Majesty" impractical for the summer release EON and United Artists had their hearts set on.
The other problem was that the plot of Ian Fleming's novel, which involved Blofeld setting up a lavish sanitarium for wealthy suicides, just didn't seem to be the stuff of a James Bond movie. It also ended with Bond fathering a child with Kissy Suzuki. Only a few elements from the book would remain in the finished movie, most notably the Japanese setting, love interest Kissy, and friendly spy boss Tiger Tanaka.
There was also a problem with finding a writer. Richard Maibum, who had worked on every Bond up to this point, was deemed unavailable. A rumored screenplay by renowned author Kingsley Amis had been reportedly dismissed. Another script was commissioned by writer Harold Jack Bloom, but little of his work would remain in the finished film.
The final choice of screenwriter turned out to be an interesting one. Decades after his death, Roald Dahl remains one of the world's most popular children's writers with such film-friendly classics as "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "The Witches," "Matilda," and "James and the Giant Peach" all too his credit. He might have seemed a far likelier choice for writing an adaptation of Ian Fleming's children's book, "Chitty Chitty Bang-Bang," the gig that was apparently keeping Richard Maibum busy. Nevertheless, Dahl had written his share of adult thrillers and had actually performed wartime espionage and been friends with Fleming. Scads of 007-inspired spy spoofs were upping the humor ante and this would be a somewhat more tongue-in-cheek Bond. Dahl's dark sense of humor would be a plus.
The main thrust of the film's new plot was apparently invented by Cubby Broccoli, however. Upon seeing a dormant volcano while scouting locations, he came up with the idea of using it as a giant villain's lair. With the U.S.-Soviet space race at full swing, the Russian-Chinese split a topical news item, and terrorism on the rise, the idea of SPECTRE hijacking spacecrafts in order to start a world war on behalf of Red Chinese clients seemed like a natural.
The Bond Girls (Rule of 3 + 1)
Once again, 007 does the espionage nasty with three beautiful women on his Japan adventure. Shockingly, however, the movie's main love interest is not one of them.
Ling (Tsai Chow) — This lovely lady of Hong Kong engages in mildly racist pillow talk with Bond and then reveals herself to be an accomplice in the spy's elaborately faked death. Though her part is small, actress Tsai Chow was already a recording artists and a major star of the London stage in "South Pacific" and "The World of Suzie Wong." Her very long film career would include parts in "The Joy Luck Club," "Memoirs of a Geisha," and the 2006 Bond reboot, "Casino Royale."
Helga Brandt (Karen Dor) — The latest Bond villainess with preying mantis-like tendencies, the dangerous Ms. Brandt is the secretary/in-house assassin of the wealthy SPECTRE operative, Mr. Osato. She has her way with Bond, then fails at killing him. It's only natural that she winds up a victim of SPECTRE's signature approach to personnel management, which in her case means being fed to the CEO's pet piranhas. Actress Karen Dor has enjoyed a very long career in German films and television that continues to this day. She also appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's unsuccessful spy thriller, "Topaz," and the modestly titled horror flick, "The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism."

Big business and major labor unions appeared ready Friday, March 29, 2013 to end a fight over a new low-skilled worker program that had threatened to upend negotiations on a sweeping immigration bill in the Senate providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million immigrants already in the U.S. Schumer, who's been brokering talks between the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement that negotiators are "very close, closer than we have ever been, and we are very optimistic."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Big business and major labor unions appeared ready Friday to end a fight over a new low-skilled worker program that had threatened to upend negotiations on a sweeping immigration bill in the Senate providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who's been brokering talks between the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement that negotiators are "very close, closer than we have ever been, and we are very optimistic." He said there were still a few issues remaining.
The talks stalled late last week amid a dispute over wages for workers in the new program, and senators left town for a two-week recess with the issue in limbo. Finger-pointing erupted between the AFL-CIO and the chamber, with each side accusing the other of trying to sink immigration reform, leaving prospects for a resolution unclear.
But talks resumed this week, and now officials from both sides indicate the wage issue has been largely resolved. An agreement would likely clear the way for a bipartisan group of senators to unveil legislation the week of April 8 to dramatically overhaul the U.S. immigration system, strengthening the border and cracking down on employers as well as remaking the legal immigration system while providing eventual citizenship to millions.
"We're feeling very optimistic on immigration: Aspiring Americans will receive the road map to citizenship they deserve and we can modernize 'future flow' without reducing wages for any local workers, regardless of what papers they carry," AFL-CIO spokesman Jeff Hauser said in a statement. "Future flow" refers to future arrivals of legal immigrants.
Under the emerging agreement, a new "W" visa program would bring tens of thousands of lower-skilled workers a year to the country. The program would be capped at 200,000 a year, but the number of visas would fluctuate, depending on unemployment rates, job openings, employer demand and data collected by a new federal bureau pushed by the labor movement as an objective monitor of the market.
The workers would be able to change jobs and could seek permanent residency. Under current temporary worker programs, workers can't move from employer to employer and have no path to permanent U.S. residence and citizenship.
The new visas would cover dozens of professions such as long-term care workers and hotel and hospitality employees. Currently there's no good way for employers to bring many such workers to the U.S.; an existing visa program for low-wage nonagricultural workers is capped at 66,000 per year and is supposed to apply only to seasonal or temporary jobs.
The Chamber of Commerce said workers would get paid actual wages paid to American workers or the prevailing wages for the industry they're working in, whichever is higher. The Labor Department determines prevailing wage based on rates prevailing in specific localities, so that it would vary from city to city.
The labor organization had accused the chamber of trying to pay workers in the new program poverty-level wages, something the chamber disputed.
There was also disagreement about how to deal with certain higher-skilled construction jobs, such as electricians and welders, and it appears those will be excluded from the deal, said Geoff Burr, vice president of federal affairs at Associated Builders and Contractors. Burr said his group opposes such an exclusion because, even though unemployment in the construction industry is high right now, at times when it is low there can be labor shortages in high-skilled trades and contractors want to be able to bring in foreign workers. But unions pressed for the exclusion, Burr said.
The low-skilled worker issue had loomed for weeks as perhaps the toughest matter to settle in monthslong closed-door talks on immigration among Schumer and seven other senators, including Republicans John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida. The issue helped sink the last major attempt at immigration reform in 2007, when the legislation foundered on the Senate floor after an amendment was added to end a temporary worker program after five years, threatening a key priority of the business community.
The amendment passed by just one vote, 49-48. President Barack Obama, a senator at the time, joined in the narrow majority voting to end the program after five years.

Pattern Recognition Response Agonists as Malaria Vaccine Adjuvants
A critical obstacle to malaria vaccine development is the lack of appropriate adjuvants to elicit potent and protective immune responses that are long lasting. Recent studies on pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune response enable a rational approach to vaccine adjuvant selection. Specifically, systematic evaluations of PRR agonists that activate dendritic cells (DCs) through distinct intracellular signaling pathways may be fruitful: toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists signaling through the MyD88-dependent pathway (TLR7/8 agonist R848), TLR agonists signaling through the MyD88-independent/TRIF-dependent pathway (TLR3 agonist poly I:C), TLR agonists signaling through both MyD88-dependent and independent pathways (TLR4 agonist GLA, a synthetic lipid A), agonists of the intracellular nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein Nod1 (C12-iE-DAP) that signals through RIP2, and an agonist for the C-type lectin Mincle (synthetic trehalosedibehenate) that signals through a FcRgamma Src-family kinase.
Central hypothesis
Specific combinations of PRR agonists will be effective in inducing optimal dendritic cell activation for a potent immune response to a model blood-stage antigen, MSP1.42.
Identify new molecular adjuvants and molecular adjuvant cocktails that may be used selectively to obtain immune responses with specific characteristics required for protective immunity to malaria blood stages.
Specific Aim 1
Determine whether combinations of PRR agonists drive the differentiation of dendritic cells to express specific cell-surface activation receptors and cytokines associated with polarization to a Th1 response, a Th2 response, or a mixed Th1/Th2 response.
Specific Aim 2
Determine whether selected combinations of PRR agonists that induce Th1- and Th2-polarizing or mixed Th1/Th2 DC responses in vitro will be effective as adjuvant components in vivo. Mice will be immunized with selected PRR ligand combinations formulated with MSP1.42. The humoral immune response will be evaluated by ELISA. Th1 and Th2 cytokine responses will be evaluated in splenic T cells restimulated with the immunogen.
These studies will identify novel adjuvant formulations that elicit distinct immune response mechanisms to malaria blood-stage antigens and will provide insight into the role of DC activation in the in vivo response to malaria vaccines.

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) _ The rising cost of child care is among likely reasons for a rise in the number of women staying home full-time with their children, according to a new Pew Research Center report released Tuesday.
Other factors cited by Pew to explain the increase include more immigrant mothers, who tend to stay home with children in greater numbers than U.S.-born moms; more women unable to find work; and ambivalence about the impact of working mothers on young children.
The share of mothers who do not work outside the home rose to 29 percent in 2012, the study found. That's up from 23 percent at the turn of the century, according to the report. At the height of the recession in 2008, Pew estimated 26 percent of mothers were home with children.
The at-home moms include women who are married, single, disabled, enrolled in school or unable to find work.
Pew cited a 2010 U.S. census report that singled out the expense of child care as a factor. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the average weekly child care expense for families with working mothers who paid for child care rose more than 70 percent, from $87 in 1985 to $148 in 2011, according to government estimates. That represented 7.2 percent of the income for such families.
Tricia Williamson, 30, in Liberty, N.C., quit her job as an editor and producer at a TV station after crunching the numbers and realizing her salary after the birth of her son a year ago would go primarily to commuting and child care expenses. Her husband earns about $44,000 a year as an electronics technician.
"We're not rich by any means. We live paycheck to paycheck, but it's completely worth it," she said. "My son wouldn't be getting the attention he needs one-on-one. He's got mom 24-7."
The largest share of at-home mothers _ roughly two-thirds of 10.4 million _ had working husbands. A growing share _ 6 percent in 2012, up from 1 percent in 2000 _ said they could not find a job, according to Pew, which relied on U.S. Census and other government data.
No matter what their marital status, mothers at home are younger and less educated than working counterparts, the report said. Most married moms said they were home specifically to care for the kids, while single mothers were more likely to say they couldn't find a job, were ill or disabled, or were in school.
Among all at-home mothers in 2012, 51 percent had at least one child 5 or younger, compared with 41 percent of working mothers.
The researchers said one of the most striking demographic differences between at-home mothers and working mothers is their economic well-being, with about 34 percent of at-home mothers living in poverty, compared with 12 percent of working mothers.
Relatively few married at-home mothers with working husbands qualify as "affluent," at nearly 370,000 with at least a master's degree and a median family income of over $75,000 a year in 2012. That number amounts to 5 percent of married at-home mothers with working husbands.
The "elite" marrieds stand out from other at-home mothers as disproportionately white or Asian. About 69 percent are white and 19 percent are Asian. Only 7 percent are Hispanic and 3 percent are black.
Mothers more likely to stay home are among demographic groups on the rise in the U.S. For example, 40 percent of immigrant mothers were at home with their children, compared with about a quarter of mothers born in this country.
Among at-home mothers living in poverty in 2012, 36 percent were immigrants, the report said.
The report points to stagnant incomes for all but the college-educated as a possible factor for less-educated workers in particular who might be weighing the cost of child care against wages and deciding it makes more economic sense to stay home.
While attitudes over the decades toward working mothers have improved, "most Americans continue to believe that it's best for children to have a parent at home," said D'Vera Cohn, a senior writer at Pew who worked on the report.
Since 2008, about 70 percent said when questioned in an ongoing social survey that a working mother is just as capable as an at-home mother of establishing the same "warm and secure" relationship with her children. But 60 percent of Americans in a recent Pew survey said children are better off when a parent stays home to "focus on the family," compared with 35 percent who said children are "just as well off with working parents."

Dandruff Treatment in Odessa, FL
Pityriasis simplex capillitii, known commonly as dandruff, is a condition causing excessive exfoliation (peeling) of the skin of the scalp, which leads to small pieces of dry skin to flake and fall from the scalp and blanket the hair and shoulders. Dandruff is often the source of embarrassment, especially as the condition becomes noticeable when dark clothing is worn; however, dandruff is treatable. As a condition of the scalp, dandruff is not necessarily related to how often you wash your hair, and individual causes may vary by case.
Seeking appropriate professional advice is your first step at identifying the origin of your dandruff flakes. To schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider in Odessa that specializes in dandruff treatment, call (813) 536-3212 or contact Evolution online.
What is Dandruff?
Dandruff is a common condition affecting the scalp which causes small pieces of scalp skin to dry and flake off (exfoliate). While it is normal for skin to exfoliate, when your skin exfoliates at an excessive rate, dandruff may be to blame. The defining symptom of dandruff is white flakes in the hair or on clothing, typically blanketing the collar and shoulders. These flakes may appear oily. Additionally, the scalp may feel itchy or scaly. This condition may worsen during the fall and winter, when indoor heating can contribute to dry skin, and improve during the summer.
Dandruff Prevalence and Causes
Dandruff can affect both men and women, and people of all ages, but is more typically experienced by men. Additionally, those who are predisposed to having oily skin or hair may also be more prone to developing dandruff. Typically, it begins in young adulthood and continues through middle age, though some people may suffer from dandruff for their entire lives. There is a specific type of dandruff called cradle cap that may affect babies, which causes a scaly, crusty scalp. Cradle cap usually clears up on its own, and isn't dangerous.
While the precise cause of dandruff is speculated and remains unknown, the following may be considered possible causes of dandruff:
- Dry skin: People with dry skin, which by nature becomes flaky and peels, are typically at a higher risk of developing dandruff. Unlike people with seborrheic dermatitis, however, dandruff experienced by people with general dry skin is not oily.
- Not enough hair brushing: Brushing your hair too infrequently can put you at a slightly higher risk of developing dandruff because, in effect, no aiding of the shedding of skin which combing or brushing would provide occurs.
- Not enough shampooing: While the research is not conclusive, it is believed that not using enough shampoo may possibly lead to a buildup of oil and dead skin, which can cause dandruff.
- Stress
Sometimes dandruff might be mistaken for another skin condition which may present the appearance of flaky skin. Related conditions include:
- Seborrheic dermatitis: A medical which causes irritated, oily skin. Patients with seborrheic dermatitis will have red, greasy skin covered by flaky white or yellow scales. In cases of seborrheic dermatitis, the scalp becomes irritated, producing extra skin cells which die too quickly and fall off.
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
It is important to seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider who can determine whether it is dandruff that ails you or a different skin condition, as well as prescribe an appropriate treatment course.
Dandruff Treatment
If you experience or think you are experiencing dandruff, consulting a qualified healthcare provider is important to ensure proper dandruff treatment for your particular case is taken. Typical treatment options will include using a dandruff shampoo, which may be an anti-fungal shampoo. Proper use of your dandruff shampoo is necessary to ensure you experience its full effects and can be discussed with your healthcare provider. Typically, the shampoo must be left on the scalp for 5 or more minutes as, if rinsed out too quickly, the active ingredients will not have enough time to work.
Changing your diet to incorporate foods that are rich in zinc and B vitamins may also be recommended. Green tea has also been suggested to help reduce dandruff and psoriasis. Tea-tree oil, which is commonly an ingredient in many anti-dandruff shampoos, may also be considered. Other natural remedies include applying coconut oil, lemons and aloe vera to your scalp. While lemons can help balance the pH of your scalp, aloe vera can help soothe your skin and diminish the itchiness.
Whatever at-home remedies you elect, it is important to meet with a qualified healthcare provider who can assess your unique dandruff case. To schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider in Odessa that specializes in dandruff treatment, call (813) 536-3212 or contact Evolution online.

Halo 2 Dialogue SnippetsHalo had over 5000 dialogue snippets in it - Halo 2 has 3 times that many. That doesn't stop dedicated fans from attempting to catalogue them all. Beginning on November 15, Captain Spark began sending in snippets from the game, collected with as little background noise as possible. As in the first game, we will accept submissions from anyone, with the same proviso we used for the Halo Dialogue Databank. And, as before, if someone submits a better version of an existing clip, we'll substitute it for the one we have - but the original submitter will retain credit. (This hasn't been a problem in the past - here's hoping it's not one in the future, either.) Subsections will be added as needed. Please mail submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sorted by Content
1. All submissions are given with the knowledge that the clips are freely available for use in any OTHER fan creation - barring those that violate Bungie's copyrights, of course. If a submitter wants to limit how his clips can be used by others, we actually don't want them in the database. Submitters get full credit for extracting the sounds from the game - but relinquish all rights to the clips past that. This disclaimer is being added solely because we don't want fights to break out if a submitter isn't happy with the way his clip is used by another site visitor submitting, say, a Flash animation. If you think you will have trouble accepting the fact that others are using the clips to make fan creations for the community - don't submit. |

We've all been there before. You sit across the table from a potential employer, nervous but hopeful that you do well enough to be considered. They ask you a question, and suddenly your mind goes completely blank. Why would you be a good fit for this job? What are your biggest strengths? For some reason, you can't seem to think of any.
Interviewing with potential employers can be a daunting, and even slightly terrifying, task. Especially if it's a job you're incredibly interested in, the interview process can be overwhelming. Luckily, there are ways to make the process go smoother. Whether you're in the market or you've had the same job for years, preparing for an interview is never a bad decision. Here's how to sell yourself at your next job interview.
1. Know your audience.
First and foremost, it's important to do your research on the company and interviewers—if you know who they are—before going in for the interview. You wouldn't try and sell a product without knowing who your target audience was, so you definitely don't want to try and sell yourself without knowing who your interviewers are.
Look up information about the company online, and then bring it up during the interview. This will (1) give you points to connect with your interviewers on, and (2) show that you care enough about the job to put in a little extra effort. When you know your audience, you'll feel more comfortable talking and building a relationship, rather than trying to sell yourself to people you barely know.
2. Market your brand.
Once you know your audience, your next step is in marketing your brand. Again, imagine you're selling a product. Your product has to have a brand, a certain image that draws consumers in and helps them identify your product as your own. In an interview, you are the product, so brand yourself. Are you strong and confident? Perhaps kind and gentle, or direct and a little sassy.
The most important part is recognizing your own character strengths and then playing those up as your brand. Be sure your outfit is inline with the image you want to portray, along with your resume, cover letter and business card. Every aspect of yourself should demonstrate your brand and who you are throughout the interview.
3. Be a solution to a problem.
If a company is interviewing potential new employees, that means they have a need to fill. Ask yourself: how can you fill the need? During the interview process, you want to demonstrate how you fill the need vastly more than other interviewees, so, be a solution to the problem. Do your research on both the position and the company, and any potential issues the company may have. Then, come up with ideas before the interview on how you can create a solution. When you demonstrate your skills to the company during the interview, they'll be more inclined to hire you when they see how you can help them.
4. Show your stories.
And finally, one of the biggest rules of marketing: stories sell. During your interview, do more than just tell why you're a good candidate. Show them why you matter by providing engaging, thought-provoking, examples-driven stories. Not only will this build a real connection and make you seem more personable, but it will truly sell yourself to the interviewers. Do you have an example of work you've done in the past? Tell the story behind it, what led up to it and what you learned from it. Interviewers will feel more connected and buy your product—you.
Whether you're still looking for a job or are happily employed, it's never too early to learn how to nail an interview. Try out some of these marketing tactics at your next job interview and sell yourself to a potential employer.

Planning for a child's future
Supporting a child's education can be one of the most rewarding aspects of success and one of the most important elements in your financial plan. With rising inflation and the high cost of education, planning to contribute to another's higher education may require an early start.
There are a variety of investment vehicles and tax-efficient options to contribute to the cost of higher education. As your trusted partner, our knowledge and professional guidance can help you analyze the tax benefits, ownership structure, risk and contribution limits involved – even what to do with your leftover education funds if your aspiring academic earns a scholarship.
When you invest in potential, you'll do more than help make the dream of education possible for a student in your life. You could provide the inspiration for a legacy of higher learning that's passed on for generations to come. What's more, the funds you contribute have the ability to grow tax-deferred, and eventually be withdrawn, tax-free.*
Working together, we choose the investment strategy that is right for you and your student, keeping in mind that generous contribution limits do exist, regardless of income level.
*Certain conditions may apply. Earnings in 529 plans are not subject to federal tax, and in most cases, state tax, so long as you use withdrawals for eligible education expenses, such as tuition and room and board. However, if you withdraw money from a 529 plan and do not use it on an eligible education expense, you generally will be subject to income tax and an additional 10% federal tax penalty on earnings. Investors should consider before investing, whether the investor's or the designated beneficiary's home state offers state tax or other benefits only available for investments in such state's 529 savings plan. Such benefits include financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors. 529 plans offered outside their resident state may not provide the same tax benefits as those offered within their state.
Although UGMA and UTMA accounts are not designed specifically for college savings, they offer advantages including multiple investment options, limited tax benefits and the ability for a parent to transfer assets to a child without needing to establish a more costly trust. However, contributions to the accounts are irrevocable and parents lose control of the funds when the child becomes 18 - 21 – an age that may vary by state. We help you navigate these considerations, providing solutions tailored to your funding needs.

It was not long ago that we reported and had a call to action based on Mr. Gutfeld's transphobic remarks on his show Red Eye over the Pregnant Trans-man story.
Well the jerk is at it again, this time making homophobic remarks over Ellen DeGeneres announcement of her plans to marry long time partner Portia de Rossi on her daytime talk show in light of California Supreme Court's pro same-sex marriage ruling.
Contact Fox News and Red Eye and tell them to stop their Homophobia!

Homophobe Greg Gutfeld of Fox News at it Again
25 comments:
- CrackerLilo said...
What an ass. I understand that he's not on until 3 am, though. (My mom *loves* Faux News, and forwarded me this "hilarious" video by the same guy comparing Hillary to a nagging wife and Obama to a shapely stripper that only a stupid person would marry.) There's a really good reason for him to be on when almost no one is watching.

- MissMac said...
"seeing Ellen happy, makes me happy - for everyone should be happy with the one they love - be they straight, gay, transgendered, bi-curious, master-slave, S and M, or even Belgian."
Please continue to ignore the above statement, and please take a satire on celebrities' need to make their private lives public out of proportion. - May 20, 2008 at 7:01 PM
Here's what I wrote to them: It amazes me how you call your self a news channel when you help spread hatred. News means you report the happenings of the world in an unbiased form. Spewing homophobia from your net work in the name of news isn't news. But I guess if Fox news was around in 1948 when Africian Americians could now marry white people you would have dropped the words homosexuals and put in negro. Way to go!!

Where exactly are the "homophobic remarks" you referred to? I watched the video twice, thinking I missed them, but still couldn't find any.
- May 20, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Oh this is insane people... Have you got any idea how it looks when people actually look into this diatribe based a complete nonsense and hate-hunting?
It looks like you are out for a linching, it looks that way to anyone of any corner of life that cares to look...
When you attempt to conduct this type of hate rally you do reason, and anyone who believes in it, a discredit...
Now I and everyone like me that cares will have to field arguments that *use this very example of shallow and irrational witch hunting* to try and show what this movement has become...
Please stop parsing words and splicing context, and just plain assuming to suit your need for anger as a force for 'change'... - May 20, 2008 at 8:23 PM
You have an absolute right to be offended. Greg Gutfeld also has every right to make fun of Ellen Degeneris and Portia Di Rossi getting married.
You also have every right to not have a sense of humor. Greg Gutfeld also has every right to make a joke.
FYI. Greg has had openly gay and transgendered guests on Red Eye and treated them respectfully. I suppose you would be more happy with outrage than facts.
How very tolerant of you. - May 20, 2008 at 8:41 PM
I absolutely detest FoxNews, but like the other poster, where exactly are the homophobic remarks? If anything, it was anti-Belgian!
- May 20, 2008 at 8:46 PM
Please give us all a break!!! This is the reason no one takes the gay lobby seriously!! You pick little battles against people that can do nothing to move ahead the gay agenda. Why not put your hate bashing against those in the government where the real change has to take place instead of acting like children on the school yard and ganging up on Greg Gutfeld just because he has a valid point and you don't like it. This is why your agenda is scoffed at by those in the mainstream, none of you can seem to unite and and put forth anything other then more of the same old crap that you have been spewing for years!!
- May 20, 2008 at 9:01 PM
- Miss Vicki said...
Oh he and the show are just ignorant he talks about straights and anyone else the same way. He doesn't play favorites to me. I've only tried to watch it less than a handful of times & it was too painful, that stupid panel of guest -- good grief!
- May 20, 2008 at 9:11 PM
- CrackerLilo said...
I can see it as a satire on celebrities' need for attention, but I guess it's offensive to me mainly because it's just plain not funny! I'm tired of people thinking that being loud and insulting is a formula for instant humor.
- May 20, 2008 at 9:45 PM
He didn't say one single thing that is anti-gay! If anybody finds this homophobic, they deserve to be imprisoned for stupidity.
- May 20, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Red Eye never pretends to be a news show. So, while it is on a newsy network, it can't be judged by the same standard you would judge Brit Hume or Wolf Blitzer.
Red Eye could even be seen positively by the GLBT community...in that it airs stories and talks about issues that often "real" news shows don't dare touch. - May 21, 2008 at 3:01 AM
I have no idea where to begin.
First off, I don't think you've ever watched an entire episode. If you have, you'd know that Greg isn't a homophobe. Heck, he had Leslie Jordan on that SAME NIGHT (who happens to be gay). Of course if you had watched the show at all instead of finding one clip online to get your panties in a wad over, you'd CLEARLY see that Greg isn't homophobic. But of course you wouldn't mention something like that since it completely kills any kind of argument you are trying to start or agenda you are trying to push.
You need to really remove your head from your rear end, wake up to reality and quit jumping to conclusions. - May 21, 2008 at 3:13 AM
Although I understand how one could have a knee-jerk reaction to this, it must be understood in context. Red Eye is a comedy spoof show. The individuals on there make fun of everyone. No group is left untouched. Why attack this show, or something like, south park, or family guy when there are instances of real prejudice and bigotry. I am afraid that by treating off color humor as the same as genuine homophobia and bigotry we trivialize the real prejudice against the GLBT community. Wisdom must overcome blind passion if real progress is to be made.
- May 21, 2008 at 5:33 AM
- Sweet said...
I'm sorry, I just don't see where the outrage over what he said is coming from. I didn't see any 'anti-gay' comments at all, mostly, a commentary on the status of celebrities who feel they need to pubicize their private life and how short-lived those relationships seem when they do so.
I'm trying to be on your side, but, in this instance, you're wrong about not only the content, but, the context of Mr. Gutfeld's comments. - May 21, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Although I fail to see any so called "homophobic" sentiments in the gregalogue, Greg would have all the right in the world to his opinions as do the homosexual activists, in my opinion.
- May 21, 2008 at 1:15 PM
You asshats need to stop being stupid. By defending this so-called "man" Thomas Beattie as a Gay Blogger and using the defense of Gay Rights, you conceed your point that Beattie is a man. The only way you can use the Anti-Defamation thing is if Thomas were a woman. "He" is in fact a "she"... Sexual Identity and Gender are completely seperate things. "He" still has a vagina and ovaries and uterus, so "he" is still a woman no matter what "he" may say. There is no such thing as a pregnant man, becuase you must have 2 little things called and "X" chromosome and a "Y" chromosome to be a man. If a man loses his penis, he is still a male. If a female gets a penis, she is still a female, no matter what they say or do.
- May 21, 2008 at 1:57 PM
I'm a regular viewer of Red Eye. I don't remember a single time when any of the the show's regulars insulted or made fun of the gay community.
Earlier this week Greg interviewed Leslie Jordan (from Will and Grace.) Mr. Jordan describes himself as "the gayest man in the world." The interview was very well done, and I'm sure Mr. Jordan would be willing to be on Red Eye again. - May 21, 2008 at 2:17 PM
I agree with him. Why should Ellen be announcing how much she loves her lover. Wouldn't that be obvious since she is getting married (IF the ruling holds up). Most people don't announce to the world how much they love their sexual partner!

So Iron Mike you didn't or won't tell anyone if you decide to get married right? Because NOBODY does that...

just an observer....
hmm some arguments there - August 20, 2008 at 12:23 AM
This article is worthless along with most other articles on this website. Not ONCE in that videoclip did Greg say anything against gays. His comments were obviously about how short lived publicly announced relationships are because of the pressure. Someone needs to pay more attention when they watch tv. I've found the articles on this site to be INCREDIBLY closed minded and this one is no different since you assume that a conservative talking about a lesbian is being anti-gay when the sentences he's using are so obviously not.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, wearing a dark suit possibly made of sackcloth, didn't hold back when discussing the derivative trades that led to massive losses for his company.
"We made a stupid error," he said before a lunchtime audience at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington on Wednesday. "We screwed up."
Then he got more specific: "I should have caught it ... I didn't."
The company estimates it lost $5.8 billion, thanks to a London-based trader, nicknamed the "London whale," who took large, risky positions in credit derivatives.
But Dimon noted that making mistakes is part of capitalism. When companies make errors, "they learn from it," he said.
Critics might point out, however, that when immense banks make mistakes, they might also turn around and ask Congress for multi-billion-dollar bailouts. That's been known to happen.

There are no reviews yet.
Wall decals are made of high-quality, thin, flexible self-adhesive vinyl to blend with the surface they are used on. The decals arrive ready to install between a paper backing and a clear transfer film used during install. The thin vinyl enables it to be trimmed with a sharp knife or scissors to further customize it's look during install and match it to surface features.
The self-adhesive vinyl we use will adhere to a wide range of smooth surfaces such as walls, glass, furniture, appliances and more. If you have questions material samples should be ordered to check suitability. The vinyl material will last many years depending on location and care, however the material is always removable at a future time as required. Some cleaning may be required after removal depending on length of time of installation and the surface. While removable the vinyl material is not intended to be reusable.
WALLTAT uses three types of material for different surface effects. A high-quality matte finish vinyl to give a custom painted look with color throughout (e.g., the color will be seen on either side of a glass install). We also have frosted translucent vinyl that simulates etched glass, primarily for windows, doors, skylights, exterior shower enclosures and mirrors. Lastly, we have a special material that simulates a chrome or gold finish, this is reflective but not intended to be mirror like.
Further details, material data sheets and fire ratings can be provided upon request.
Inspect your installation surface and correct any unsightly blemishes. WALLTAT decals are made of a thin, flexible vinyl that will take on the texture of your wall or surface (especially the reflective vinyl). Major imperfections may puncture the vinyl during installation.
The recommended wall texture for successful decal application and adhesion is SMOOTH properly primed, painted and cured drywall that has little or no surface variation. Glass, smooth metal, plastic, laminate, porcelain and other non-porous substrates are also acceptable.
Newly painted surfaces should dry for at least 30 days prior to installation. If paint is not completely dry, WALLTAT decals may not adhere properly, or may lift paint off the wall when you decide to remove it.
WALLTAT decals will NOT adhere to textured surfaces such as rough drywall, stucco, plaster or faux finishes. They will NOT adhere to oil-based paints, paints which are low VOC or are stain resistant or mildew resistant, wet surfaces or fibrous materials such as fabric or canvas. Direct sunlight or moisture may loosen the adhesive over time and compromise the product.
WALLTAT is not responsible for misapplication, substrate adhering issues or damages caused during installation. If you are not comfortable with installation, we recommend purchasing a Sample Decal Kit ($5 with a $5 coupon on your decal purchase) to test the color and compatibility of the vinyl with your surface, and/or if necessary, hiring a professional painter or wallpaper hanger that is familiar with wall decals.
Our wall decal designs have intricate cuts making it extremely difficult to salvage during the removal process. Therefore, these are considered a one-time-use product.
WALLTAT decals are temporary and will last 2-3 years, or much longer if taken care of. To remove the decal lift up an edge with a fingernail and slowly peel away from the surface. See FAQs related to removal for further details.
Getting Started: You will need masking or painters tape, a measuring tool such as ruler or level, squeegee (included), scissors, friend (recommended). CLEAN AND DRY THE SURFACE where you will be applying your WALLTAT (even for new or recently painted walls). Make sure it is smooth, dry and free of debris.
1 Unroll your WALLTAT (leaving both coatings on) and lay it out on a clean flat surface with the WALLTAT facing upward. Larger sizes and multi-colored designs are created in multiple parts. Some parts have match points to guide proper positioning. (Match points are in the shapes of stars, circles, squares, rectangles, targets, etc.).
2 If your design is only one piece skip to step 3. For designs in multiple parts, identify match points by overlapping each part to review how they fit together. If needed, refer to the website to view a picture of your design as a guide. Cut individual elements as needed, be sure to leave match points to corresponding parts. (You will install the match points with the rest of the design and remove them at the end).
3 Leaving both coatings on, pre-hang the WALLTAT in the desired location with masking or painters tape. Adjust as needed. Use the tape again to mark the surface at corners and areas around the perimeter of the WALLTAT. Remove the WALLTAT leaving the corner and perimeter tape markings behind.
4 Prepare WALLTAT on a clean flat surface. Your goal is to release the WALLTAT from the paper backing. It is best to begin with an end that has the least amount of detail. Lift and fold back the paper backing by slowly pulling back at surface level. Constantly preview the WALLTAT to ensure it is releasing from the paper. If necessary, rub the paper backing or use your fingernail to release stubborn areas and smooth them to the clear coat.
5 After the paper backing is completely removed, position your WALLTAT within your tape markings. (Hint: The clear transfer coating tends to have static and is more manageable with two people holding each end). Firmly squeegee the WALLTAT to the surface working outward. SLOWLY peel off the clear transfer coating, leaving the WALLTAT behind. Repeat STEP 5 and STEP 6 for designs with multiple parts.
6 Perform a close-up preview of your WALLTAT. Remove match points as needed. If you see air-pockets, lift up edges to release the air or use a pin to pop the bubbles and then smooth down with your finger.

The "Food" in the Food Librarian today is the Double-Ginger Sour Cream and Bundt Cake with Ginger-Infused Strawberries that appeared in the April 2009 issue of Bon Appétit. Be sure to visit your library to read a bunch of magazines - free!
This recipe uses 1 cup of crystallized ginger - serious yummy! Sugar in the Raw coats the pan...but most of my sugar baked into the cake (bummer). Look at Bon Appetit's photo - it is quite pretty and shiny.
Here's the recipe. The cake is quite delightful and rich. It gingerific with three types of ginger: ground, crystallized and fresh!
The "Librarian" in the Food Librarian is the Librarian Action Figure! [I'll wait while you giggle]. It's made by the same company that presents us with the Lunch Lady, Jesus and Deluxe Jesus action figures. She's modeled after librarian Nancy Pearl who you may have heard on NPR dispensing reading recommendations. There is a button that lifts her arm in a "Shushing" motion...oh, the stereotype! (But I doubt there are many other occupations that have their own action figure...so I'm not complaining!)
Each day this week, I'll have a giveaway! I want to celebrate libraries and thank the readers of my little blog.
Day 1 Giveaway:
One lucky winner will receive:
a. Cool 3-tier mini-cake set with tray. This is a 4", 3", and 2" pan made by Southern California family-owned company, Parrish/Magic Line (purchased at Surfas)
b. Beaded Bookmark - Mark your favorite cookbook or novel with this bookmark handmade by the Food Librarian and friends!
c. Book bag - Stroll into your library with this super light bag from the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland! The library is very environmental because it's the ultimate reuse center!
Just leave a comment below (one entry per person) and I'll pick the winner from a hat. Deadline for all the giveaways this week: Monday, April 20, 2009 at midnight PDT. If your comment isn't linked to a blog where I can find you, please leave your email or check back on Tuesday, April 21st to see if you won. Shipping to U.S. addresses only (sorry, I'm buying all this stuff myself and international postage is too expensive).
To enter the drawing, leave a comment. You don't have to write anything special...but if you want to tell me about your library or a library story, that would be fantastic! Don't forget to visit and support your local library! See you tomorrow from some Tuesdays with Dorie yum and more giveaways! thanks for coming by - mary the food librarian
