My Property is in Disrepair, can I still sell it?
If your property is in disrepair and you need to sell it fast you may be asking "If I want to sell my house quick is worth paying out to spruce up the property or sell with a company offering a fast sale in any condition" People generally ask this when they are considering the two options, selling online or through an estate agent.
It takes money to make money
The old saying is that it takes money to make money, but is this so when you are thinking of selling property. When considering renovating property in order to be able to sell fast, consider the following:
- You may pay out many thousands of pounds for a patio or conservatory but will this help you to sell any faster? If properties in your area are not selling at all the chances are that you will just be wasting your money.
- If you want to gain interest in your home when putting it up for sale you may wish to spruce up the outside of the home without spending a fortune. Cleaning gutters, weeding the garden and cutting the lawn and applying a lick of paint to outside woodwork makes a drastic change to the exterior. This is a cheaper solution than putting in new windows and doors and landscaping the property.
- If you cannot afford to spend much money to make changes needed to spruce up your home you may have to drop the asking price a little, after all this may work out cheaper than paying out to remedy the faults on your property and prepare it for sale.
Sell the property as it is
It is a bit of a gamble when you think about spending money to make money. You may well spend hundreds or thousands of pounds and it could add value onto your property and may help you to get a fast sale. On the other hand you could spend all this money only to see your property sit on the market and not sell. You may wish to consider the following if you want to sell your house fast and weigh up the pros and cons:
- When you sell with us we consider property that is in any condition. This means you do not have to spend hard earned cash just to be able to sell.
- We also offer a fast cash sale that is typically around 70% of the full value of the property. You may be able to sell in 4 weeks.
- There are no estate agents fees or solicitor's fees to have to payout.
- You avoid broken chains that are commonly associated with selling on the market.
Two easy ways to get a no obligation offer for your property.
There could be any number of reasons why you may have the need to sell your home fast and when you want a fast sale the estate agent may not be the best way to go.

FSF Publishes New Quick Guide on GPLv3
The quick guide gives a short and understandable explanation of the objectives of version 3 of the GPL; recent discussions on GPLv3 had caused many developers to forget the generic purpose of the license – guaranteeing the freedom of software development.
The document briefly recapitulates what the General Public License (GPL) aims to achieve. The author goes on to explain the changes between versions 2 and 3 of the GPL, and the motivations behind the changes citing three threats to freedom. One of them is tivoization, named after the Tivo digital video recorder that contains GPL'd software but prevents users from modifying the GPL programs by validating a digital signature. The other two threats that led to changes in the GPL are Digital Rights Management and Microsoft's patent covenenant. The author also refers to interfaces to other licenses. The author of the Quick Guide, Brett Smith from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), has posted the guide on the FSF announce mailing list.
The changes introduced by GPLv3 include new compatibilities to other licenses, as shown by the graphic from the Quick Guide.
The Open Source community can view the text as an impetus to understand the GPL as an opportunity rather than a bone of contention or a threat. Brett's short, informal announcement closes with the words: "We hope this serves as a useful resource for developers considering adopting GPLv3 for their own projects." Shortly afterwards a senior Red Hat developer commented: "Excellent job, Brett."
The guide is available online, or as a PDF document, and as a zipped tarball in text only format. According to GNU's Who Brett Smith has been with the Free Software Foundation since 2002, and has worked as the Chief Webmaster and Shipping Manager, before becoming the "licensing guru" at the FSF's licensing and compliance lab which provides "the public with a "knowledge infrastructure" surrounding the GNU GPL and free software licensing, and enforcing the license on FSF-copyrighted software."

Order field before fieldset in CMS admin
4 April 2011 at 6:59am
I want to place some fields in the Security tab under Members before the Search and Member List section. They get added the the Group table and then appear after the Member List section. Here is my code so far:
class GroupDecorator extends DataObjectDecorator
function extraStatics()
return array('db' => array(
'Email' => 'Varchar(255)',
'Website' => 'Varchar(255)'));
public function updateCMSFields(Fieldset & $fields)
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Members', new TextField('Email', 'Email'));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Members', new TextField('Website', 'Website'));
return $fields;

You can use the insertBefore() function rather than push to insert before a given field name (http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/forms/fields-structural/FieldSet.html#methodinsertBefore) which is useful for inserting new tabs. For fields you can use the addFieldsToTab() with the optional 3 argument filled out with the field you want it to sit before (http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/forms/fields-structural/FieldSet.html#methodaddFieldToTab)
Re: Order field before fieldset in CMS admin
4 April 2011 at 11:44am
Thanks for your response.
I did see those parameters for addFieldsToTab() but in this case I don't see what field I'm putting it before. For the default layout of the Groups/Members page there is a search and then a members list. I want to put the new fields before this and after the Title (Group name)
Re: Order field before fieldset in CMS admin
4 April 2011 at 1:09pm
I took a guess and this works:
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Members', new TextField('Email', 'Email'), 'Members');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Members', new TextField('Website', 'Website'), 'Members');
My new fields of 'email' and 'website' now appear before the members search and list section.

UPDATE: Game Informer Leaks 'Assassin's Creed III' Setting
02 Mar, 2012
UPDATE: Ubisoft has confirmed both the game logo and the Revolutionary War time period rumored below, and has provided the game's official box art. Assassin's Creed III is now scheduled for release October 30th, with a full reveal next week.
Looks like the Assassins had a major hand in the American Revolution. That's the buzz following the leak of several images surrounding Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed III which, if the images sent to Kotaku by an unnamed Best Buy worker are accurate, will be officially unveiled on March 5th. A second image (screengrabbed by Toastervision, originally via NeoGAF,) all but confirms the time period, with the yet unnamed new – reportedly Native American – protagonist giving directions to George Washington during his famed crossing of the Delaware river. The second image looks more like a third-party photoshop job than any official Ubisoft press asset, but looks neat nonetheless.
Is a Revolutionary War setting something you'd like to experience in an Assassin's Creed game? What new kinds of weapons or cameos from historical figures would you expect from the game? Give us your reactions below, EGs!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My first guild had a policy regarding raid drops (at the time Nether Vortexes as we progressed through SSC). It was agreed upon in a guild meeting in vent, that they would all go into the guild bank to be used by the active raiders as they needed them. The real scenario is that it was a back-door deal where they all went to the officers. This all became clear when I had the mats for a couple of craftable pieces that just needed vortexes to complete. I requested the two vortexes I needed, but was shot down multiple times by multiple officers. It's not like I wasn't a regular raider, I was 2nd in attendance, ahead of the raid leader, the guild leader and every single officer. When I called out the officers for this back-door deal, what I got was a diatribe from the raid leader about how they REALLY belonged to the officers and not the raiders. Needless to say, that was the end of my relationship with that guild.
Personally, I agree with what Scott said at the very beginning. "Concerned . . . You're right and he's wrong, end of story." You got them as a raid group, they belong to the raid group. Any gold you get from the sale of these items should go toward the raid group (be it flasks, feasts, enchants, gems, repairs, etc.)

Despite the controversy over patents, what is a progressive take on authorship in the collaborative world?
Live TED Conversation: Join TED Fellow Kaustuv Be Biswas
A US- and India-based entrepreneur whose experimental design firm, dplay, is building open-source toolboxes for design.
This Conversation opens on Nov. 8th at 1:00PM ET
Closing Statement from Kaustuv De Biswas
There is a clear unresolved bifurcation between the desire to share collaborate freely, and the need to own and protect - more so in the creative domains. With the current backdrop of the US patent reform bill - which does not quite capture the common frustrations (eg. commercial giants hard to compete with), the conversation touched upon some interesting ideas and facets - from 'micro-patents', to 'free-essentials', to 'open patenting rounds' to 'ownership responsibilities' . Thank you all for an interesting hour!

Nov 8 2011: Do you have any thoughts on why a country like India with so many trained technical and scientific resources is not generating enough IP or coming up with innovative world class products (besides the oft quoted example of the Tata Nano car)? Even the large and successful Indian IT companies appear to be totally focused on delivering services and don't have any product offerings (software or hardware) that are recognizable in the global marketplace.
Nov 8 2011: Arun, I recently started off an IP based company and part of it exists in India. From what I saw, its not the deficit in training, but a deficit in attitude that is at the heart of it. My hunch is that the core issue lies in the dogmatic and closed nature of our educational systems are. Its a longer conversation and being born and brought up in India, i feel very closely to this issue and I plan to invest myself to bring about a change - however small it might be!

Code to run the Category 6 cable Images Photo Gallery in your page:
About the Pictures Image Gallery
Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat-6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that are backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Compared with Cat-5 and Cat-5e, Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T / 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet). Category 6 cable has a reduced maximum length when used for 10GBASE-T; Category 6a cable, or Augmented Category 6, is characterized to 500 MHz and has improved alien crosstalk characteristics, allowing 10GBASE-T to be run for the same distance as previous protocols. Category 6 cable can be identified by the printing on the side of the cable sheath.

Frangela: My Nanny Smoked Weed!
If you happened to catch "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" you know comedy duo Frangela. We talked to these hilarious ladies, along with a then-pregnant actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, and The Silver Whining's Jackie Morgan-MacDougall, about parenting ... and a nanny that went from Mary Poppins to Mary Jane Poppins!
So they're unhappy with someone smoking a natural herb?
Well she's obviously very happy stuffing her and her childs' face full of fatty processed foods and being unheathly and morbidly obese.
This woman really shouldn't judge the "unhealthy" habits of others until she gets her own out-of-control habits figured out.
Kitty give me a freakin break, you moron.
LMBO very well said Michael.
Unless she was tokin on the doobage while taking care of your children, so freakin what?
No I did not smoke on doobage, as a matter of fact I took very good care of my sweetie as if she was my own so go ahead a vent your opinions I'm all for it. Oh and for the Tamales straight from scratch all fresh corn grains and fresh chiles and organic vegies..MMMM.What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what what lies within us.

Rongoa is the Māori term for medicines that are produced from native plants in New Zealand. Use of these medicines prevented many sicknesses, and provided remedies for the sick.
In traditional Māori healing, diagnosis involved a holistic approach that included mind, body and spirit - mauri (spark or life force), wairua (spirit), and tapu (natural law). Whakapapa or genealogy was also considered.
Tohunga, the medical practitioners of the Māori world, passed their knowledge down through the generations, and modern Māori healers still use many of the concepts and practices.
Tapu and noa
Tapu and noa are concepts concerning the prevention of illness in the community or individual through obeying the natural law and order of the Māori world.
Tapu - considered the strongest force in Māori life - dictates safe or unsafe practices in many aspects of life, relating to sacred objects, places or people, practices and prohibitions. Transgressing tapu could result in sickness, mental illness or death.
Noa is the complimentary action through karakia or blessing to lift any restriction or appease any breach of tapu on a person, place or thing.
Māori tohunga
The connection between the elements and sickness or medical problems was the key to the craft of the tohunga.
Skilled in the use of healing herbs and plants found in Aotearoa, the tohunga made rongoā or tonics, preparations and prescriptions, used mirimiri or massage, karakia or incantations and prayer, and wai tapu - water therapy, including suffusions, steam and heat applications.
The 18th century scientist Joseph Banks, who travelled with Captain James Cook, observed that Māori were in good health and appeared to suffer from few diseases.
Rongoa Māori today
Today Rongoa Māori is taught within communities, and more formally through continuing education courses.
There is a growing interest in Rongoa Māori, according to Rob McGowan, a Waikato University community education officer in Tauranga who runs workshops on traditional Māori medicine.
Lack of knowledge about the bush and the plants required was the biggest obstacle for most people learning about the medicine, McGowan said.
Students also had to learn how to collect plants properly so they did not damage trees, before learning about preparing the medicine. This all had to happen within the context of tikanga (customs) that applied to Rongoa Māori, he said.
McGowan's courses are held in the bush, working with the plants and observing the practices that are important to traditional healers. He aims to give participants a good foundation towards developing an understanding of Māori medicine.
Native healing herbals
Remedies are produced by companies like Native Healing Herbals which has a range of therapeutic creams and balms, using the principles of the tohunga, and using a form of reiki or hands on healing energy.
The company says all herbs are wild picked according to moon phases, and karakia is said before harvesting of native plants and herbs and at completion of balm making.
All preparations are GM free, and produced by hand in small batches with no contact with plastics to avoid chemical leaching. No chemicals, perfumes or artificial ingredients are used.

Dr. Adrian Rogers. Rogers:
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Good point TNG — the assumption, in taking a vacation (including a much needed one), is that one actually works for a living…

Ecept Ron Paul. No turkey there, just a guy who can't get very far because he does something no other Congressman would dare do: speak the truth.

Stay well. Stay safe, Ms. Tucker. And please do some serious thinking about the man leading our country that spent 20 years listening to a preacher that hates our country.

Turkey? I wonder if Cynthia prefers the leg or the wing(nut).
November 23rd, 2009

She doesn't need to go to DC to get a turkey. Just go to north Cobb and get Franklin!
November 23rd, 2009

Any chance this is a permanent vacation?
November 23rd, 2009
1:33 pm
Much needed?
Ha. What exactly is it that you do? I mean seriously. How hard can your job be?

A wingnut, a repudlickan, and a born again birther walk into a bar. The bartender looks and sez, "Get the faque outta here, cheekwads!" (Clint Eastwood).
A libertarian, an independent, and a public option filibusterer walk into the same bar. The bartender looks and sez, "Get the fack outta here, wipewads." (clint eastwood).
A libtard, a moonbat and a healthcare reformer walk into the exact same bar. The bartender looks and sez, "What'll it be, gentlemen?" The three sit down and are soon surrounded by hot babes, and all three get drinks on the house, freakazoids and it got a little noisy. (police blotter).

Well, that's just fine, Cynthia. Now what are we going to do for fun?
But have a great vacation, and hurry back!!

If the healthcare bill passes you are going to have to add a 5% tax on all those botox shots you get honey.

Have you gotten any of that free money out of Obama's "stash" yet?
November 23rd, 2009
9:37 pm
First she was exiled to Washington. Now she is on vacation from a job where she does little since she freely posts from other sourse. What a hard job.
It reminds me of the saying what does a dog do on their day off. They can't just lie around and do nothing since that is their job. Do they actually go to work? Does Cynthia actually do something productive when on this "we deserved" vacation.?
November 23rd, 2009
10:34 pm
The only good thing about C. Tucker going on a vacation would be if it was for an indefinite period!
November 24th, 2009
10:46 am
Point of order. Cynthia clearly cautioned against running with scissors. I guess she doesn't want us to cut-up + lol.
November 25th, 2009
9:24 am
A clarification:
Cynthia Tucker lives and works in D.C.
She transferred to the AJC Washington Bureau 6-8 months ago.
It is possible that her vacation trip is to visit Atlanta.

In nation's first self pardon, President Obama says he will pardon the First Turkey, Himself. In a move meant to show how humble he is, he awarded a full pardon for all of his transgressions against the constitution and the people of this country. His failure to lead, his failure to support his oath of office and his complete and utter lack of understanding of the power of the free market and the individual, serving self interests to make positive progress in all areas. While most Americans spend their time this Thanksgiving trying to avoid thinking of the horrors of our future society with Obama in charge, he spends it in his usual, excessive spending ways, using as usual, OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY to make himself out to be a big-shot. The good news is he will be another one term Carter like President.
November 25th, 2009

Rumor has it that Cynthia is out job hunting. Seems her current employer will not be in business much longer.

Well, I pondered this message, then fixed it.
Dr. Adrian Rogers (AKA father of the talibaptist movement). Rogers:
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.(You legislate the poor into freedom by legislating more power for the already wealthy?) What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.(Sort of like porker productivity rising, resulting in record corporate profits, record executive compensation, but declining real wages?) The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.(Nor can corporations pay bonuses to the select few that they don't first take from the deserving many who actually earned them) When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for,(Refer back to the results of increased worker productivity) that is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.(So you can multiply wealth by concentrating more of it in the hands of the already wealthy?)"

Lettuce hope Ms Tucker will raise little "K" to be a good Republican.

this message is for AJC Sportswriters and bloggers who have decided it is okay to mock the GT players videos and dancing to their music and promo videos. Feel free to point fingers at the GTAA, alumni, fans and even the parents but choosing to make classless remarks about the players is crossing the lines. These kids developed their own unique style based from their culture and diversity. If anything, UGA players would more likely follow the same and develop their own. If UGA fans on these blogs think their players think like they do, I assure you they do not. It is fun to enjoy yourself and take part with the team on your home field. To allow these remarks to be printed by AJC is more shameful than the UGA fan remarks. To continue this abuse could be construed as racist. Enough of it.

Tenerife has two major waterparks that both offer a real diversity of activities and entertainment and that many would say are among the best in Europe.
The Siam Park & AquaLand Water Parks are both within about 20 minutes drive of our holiday villa, allowing you to easily fit them into your holiday, beat the crowds in the morning and spend the whole day enjoying each of these fun and varied water parks.
The Loro Parque Zoo, WaterShow & Aquarium is further afield in the North in Puerto de la Cruz and a bit of a drive, but highly recommended and well worth a visit as its great value for money and places a good emphasis on educating visitors about all the animals and their habitats.
All three water attractions are great fun for all the family and should provide adults and children alike with more than a few happy memories of your holiday in Tenerife! Discounted twin tickets for these two parks can be purchased to allow you to visit them on different days.
Free buses to both Siam Park & Loro Parque leave from nearby Los Christianos & Playa de las Americas every 30 minutes, so don't worry if you havn't got a hire car..!
Siam Park - The Water Kingdom
Lugar la Caldera, 38670 Adeje, Tenerife: +34 627 81 57 37.
As the largest water park in Europe, this brand new water park is packed with state-of-the-art technology and based on the ancient world of Siam (now Thailand) and the Water Kingdom offers thrills and spills for all the family.
Whether you want to enjoy the sun by the bar (or on the nearby man-made beach) while watching over the kids, or get fully involved and soaking wet with them, you won't forget your time there... or the many different experiences you can enjoy:
Tower of Power: Siam Park's most thrilling ride is an almost vertical 28 metre 'free-fall' adrenalin rush, through an underwater world surrounded by a mysterious aquarium..!
The Lost City: Fun for all the family, especially the little ones, with a magical fortress of waterfalls, bridges and slides galore to explore.
Wave Palace: Europe's largest artificial waves at almost 3m high! Dive into the surf, paddle gently at the edge, or relax on a white sand man-made beach.
Mai Thai River: A gentle, laid-back journey down a meandering river, past gentle waterfalls, tropical scenery and through a wonderful aquarium - great for all the family!
Mekong Rapids: Career through these rushing rapids in large group-sized rafts for laugh-aloud family thrills & spills.
Naga Snakes Racer: A spectacular multi-lane slide for you to race friends & family to the bottom - highly competitive and addictive, you won't want to get off!
AquaLand WaterPark & Dolphinarium
Avenida Austria, 15, 38660 Adeje, Tenerife: +34 922 71 52 66.
Billed as the best dolphin show in the world, Aqualand also offers a great water park with many various rides and areas to entertain the whole family...
Dolphinarium: 11 Bottlenose dolphins perform one of the best dolphin shows in the world - one show every day of the year at 3pm.
Children's Paradise: A world of colours and sensations await the kids in this maze of tunnels, stairs, bridges & waterfalls.
Mini Park: A safe and colourful environment for the younger kids with a shallow pool, mini slides and a lighthouse for the more adventurous.
Congo River: A 500 metre raft journey - more of a gentle cruise to relax, watch the world go by and catch your breath from the other more exhilirating rides.
Tornado: The force of the Tornado propels you around and around in a large steep bowl before you're dropped in a fast & steep descent into the pool.
Twister: 2 gigantic enclosed waterslides twist and turn around each other in a steep incline into a large splash pool.

Archaeologists are drafting a volunteer army to help map every ancient hill fort across Britain and Ireland.
It is part of a project to create an online atlas of around 5,000 of these Iron Age monuments.
Prehistory enthusiasts are being asked to identify and record features such as ramparts, ditches and entrances.
Prof Gary Lock, of Oxford University, said: "We want to shed new light on why they were created and how they were used."
Despite their large numbers there has been little academic work on hill forts, how they were used and how they varied across Britain and Ireland, the researchers say. Read more.
This is pretty awesome. Can I volunteer despite being across the pond and having no skills?
I am so jealous of British and Irish people right now like you cannot BELIEVE.

Herbert Baglione–"1000 Shadows" Project
It looks like Herbert Baglione has been having some fun in Parma, Italy recently. Hanging out in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, the renowned Brazilian street artist took advantage of the location to continue his 1000 Shadows project, a series of works where he paints floating silhouettes on floors and walls. In this setting, one can imagine the poor souls that used to live in this place. More photos below
Herbert Baglione's solo at the Iguapop Gallery in Spain opened last weekend with a series of new paintings, wall murals, and installations. We heard much from one of our favorite Brazilian artists since his show in SF, but it look as though "Last Chance for a Slow Dance" is another beautiful body of work with a cooler and more muted pallette

Gentlemen, it's has finally happened.
Through the modern miracle of the consumer survey, a research firm has actually revealed, what women want.
This is of course, an earth shattering breakthrough for the male race, considering that most of us have been trying to answer this question since ..well.. Adam and Eve?
Ohh wait never mind, no such luck.. this research is confined to what women want online. Now that's something a tad different.
What do women want online? Easier, more personalized shopping
Women want their online shopping experiences to make their lives easier. That's the outcome of research based on a series of interviews with women two at a time that consultants Resource Interactive conducted for the Shop.org Summit this week in Anaheim, CA, and that resource Interactive president Kelly Mooney presented Wednesday.
The 10 things women want online, Mooney reported, are:
In the Persuasion Architecture process, each of these "10 things" women want occur as a natural bi-product of our persona-based design approach. In fact, Persuasion Architecture actually, in some cases, goes further and accounts not just for 'women' in general, but for women with different preference types and motivations.
What I found most fascinating about this research was the methodology used. I'm curious what some of the marketing to women experts like Michelle Miller and Yvonne DiVita have to say about this approach. My suspicion is that it is a refreshing step in the right direction but might not represent the gamut of preferences that the fairer sex has when shoppin' online. I wonder if this methodology may skew the results to reflect a more "Expressive/Humanistic" preference type.
Regardless, we can say with firm resound that any retailer would be smart to implement these.
Psst…..I'll even venture to say that there are many men that would appreciate some of these elements in a website.
Yvonne DiVita has already posted on this "old" news, which she revealed in her book, Dickless Marketing, several months ago. What Do Women Want…and who should know besides the women themselves?… they want websites that understand them; they want to click the back button and not lose everything in their shopping cart; they want to buy tools, homes, cars, financial advice, business advice, and electronics…online, without the hassle of defending their gender. They want RESPECT…ah, where have we heard that before? There is one fundatmental truth in that report and in everything I write about in my blog and on my website: women want you to make their life easier because they are desperately trying to fit 30 hours of work and play into a 24 hour day. Oh, but I could go on and on! Thank you, Anthony for posting this note and linking to me…you are a very Smart Man Online. Have I interviewed you yet???
Thanks for your comments. What I thought was the most fascinating thing about this study, was not the conclusions of the study(that is old news) but rather the method they employed in collecting the data.
Here is some more info from another IR article.
"For the Shop.org conference, Resource Interactive devised a research project that paired two women with close ties to take part in interviews. They could be related, such as grandmother-granddaughter, aunt-niece, etc., or two women with close emotional ties, such as two long-time friends.
That approach worked better than traditional one-on-one interviews or larger focus groups, Mooney says, because the women tended to help each other recall incidents and, in Mooney's words, "kept each other honest." Mooney dubbed the approach "Shop and Tell." Resource Interactive interviewed 40 such pairs for the Shop.org project. "
Do you have any thoughts about the methodology?
Hi Anthony, very interesting methodology. I think it's genius at work, since most women seldom shop alone. One thing no one mentions, that I harp on over and over, especially in Dickless Marketing, is the fact that WOMEN BUY FOR OTHER PEOPLE MORE OFTEN THAN THEY BUY FOR THEMSELVES. I didn't need a study to tell me that. It's a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious) when I mention it…duh! Women, especially, get this Aha! look in their eyes…because they do it so often and so mindlessly, it's become habit. Isn't that a powerful bit of news? Since Jane is so busy buying for Dick and Sally and everyone else in her circle of family and friends, doesn't it make sense to market everything to her??? I'd like to see a serious study (in my book I did an unscientific study — I interviewed a hundred women via email) on what kinds of things women buy, when, and why. Betcha dimes to dollars, they will tell you 75% of everything they buy — or suggest someone else buy — is for a good friend or a loved one, NOT for themselves. So, what's not to like about that? Shop.org did a good job with their study, "shop and tell" is an excellent approach, only…once again…who's taking advantage of the blinding flash of the obvious as I've stated it here? So far, I haven't seen anyone else writing about it. How about you? Do the women in your life shop more for themselves, or for family and friends?
I actually do not like shopping on line. I will certainly touch and having a try before I buy products especially dress and bags. but definitely shopping online is really kinda convenient.
Hi, I really like your topic.Topics I've shared your facebook.Thank you very much again

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - After two straight wins, the playoff-hopeful Atlanta Hawks tripped up and dropped a 102-95 home decision to the short- handed Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.
The Hawks, who entered the contest two games up on the idle Knicks for the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, trailed for most of the contest and lost to the slumping Pistons despite former Atlanta All- Star forward Josh Smith sitting out. Smith missed the tilt with knee tendinitis.
Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe recorded double-doubles in Smith's absence, while Rodney Stuckey took advantage of a rare start and poured in a game-high 29 points. Drummond went for 19 points and 17 rebounds and Monroe had 21 points and 13 boards.
"I thought right from the opening tip we had the right intent," said Pistons interim head coach John Loyer.
The Pistons, who are 20 games below .500, won on the road for just the 12th time this season.
Paul Millsap led five Hawks in double figures with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Jeff Teague posted 15 points and nine assists and Kyle Korver hit four 3- pointers, including the 1,500th of his career, en route to 12 points.
"We didn't come out with the intensity that we should have," said Korver.
Drummond's steal and transition slam gave Detroit a 67-57 lead midway through the third when the Hawks made a push. DeMarre Carroll scored four straight on a pair of free throws and layup and then Korver caught fire, hitting two 3- pointers to tie it at 67. Carroll had another layup to put the Hawks in front, and Millsap's bucket capped the 14-0 run.
Drummond, who missed four free throws during the Hawks' flurry, tipped in a Brandon Jennings missed layup at 4:50 to end it.
Detroit scored the final six points of the third to take an 81-78 advantage into the final period.
The visitors controlled the early portion of the fourth quarter and stretched the lead to seven points after Peyton Siva's 3-pointer at 4:25, but Pero Antic kept Atlanta within striking distance. The Macedonian center hit a triple and 3-of-4 from the foul line around a short Stuckey jumper to pull the hosts back to within three.
Drummond made it 96-91 with another tip-in and Stuckey sealed the outcome with 6-of-6 from the foul line in the final 27 seconds.
"What tonight looked like to me was a group not trying to hold onto the lead, but a group that was trying to win the game," Loyer added.
The season series ended in a 2-2 draw ... The Pistons won the rebounding
margin, 53-48. They have outrebounded the Hawks in eight straight meetings ...
Siva scored a career-best 10 points ... Antic had 13 points with nine
rebounds in the setback.

Locating, comparing senior housing

Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you explain the different types of senior housing options, and recommend some good resources for locating and choosing one? My 84-year-old mother took a nasty fall last month in her home and thinks it may be time to check out some senior facilities.
Need Some Help
Dear Need,
There's a wide array of housing options available to seniors today, but what's available to your mom will depend on her location, needs and finances. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Get Assessed
Your first step is to assess your mom's financial and physical situation: What can she afford? How is her health and memory? Does she need help with daily living chores? A resource that can help you with this is the Care Interpreter (see
), a free online tool that asks a few questions and matches her with the most suitable living situation.
If you feel you need some additional help, consider hiring a geriatric care professional (see
) who can give your mom a thorough evaluation for around $300 to $800, and recommend some appropriate housing options in the area. Here are her options.
Independent Living
If your mom is in relatively good health and is self-sufficient, try "independent living communities." Typically available to people over age 55, this type of senior housing is usually apartments or town homes that are fully functional. In addition, many of these communities also offer amenities.
To locate independent living or retirement communities, contact your area agency on aging. Call 1-800-677-1116, or visit
to get your local number. Most of these communities are private-pay only, and run anywhere from $1,000 to over $4,000 per month.
If that's too steep, another option to check out is "senior apartments," which are often subsidized by HUD for lower income seniors. You can also locate these through your local housing authority (
or call 1-800-955-2232) or search
Needs Some Help
If your mom needs some help with daily living activities, you'll need to look into "assisted living facilities." These types of facilities provide personal care (bathing, dressing, eating, going to the bathroom) when needed, as well as meals, housekeeping, transportation, social activities and medication management. Some facilities also offer special care units for residents with dementia. Costs for this type of care is usually between $2,500 and $6,000 per month, and most facilities only accept private-pay or long-term care insurance.
Another similar, but less expensive option to inquire about is "board and care homes." These offer many of the same services as assisted living facilities but in a much smaller home setting.
Your area aging agency is again your best resource for finding these facilities, or try online resources like snapforseniors.com. After you locate a few, check them out by calling your local ombudsman -- the government official who investigates long-term care facilities -- and ask whether there have been complaints. See ltcombudsman.org, or call 1-800-677-1116 for contact information.
Needs More Help
If your mom is in need of ongoing medical care, you may need to check out local "nursing homes" that provide skilled nursing care. To find one, Medicare offers a great Nursing Home Compare tool (
) that lets you search and compare facilities in your area. If you want more information on a particular nursing home contact your local ombudsman, or for a fee you can purchase detailed reports through companies like
Combo Housing
Another form of senior housing you should know about is "continuing-care retirement communities" (CCRCs). This is a nice option because it provides all levels of senior housing, services and care in one convenient location, but CCRCs are expensive typically requiring a hefty buy-in or entrance fee along with on-going monthly service fees. For more information see carf.org/aging .

The menu does have a substantial Chinese section, but make no mistake, the reason there's a line at the door on weekend nights is the fine Vietnamese specialties cooked and served by the Le family. Begin with the goi cuon, the cold rolls of moistened rice paper wrapped around vermicelli noodles, julienned cucumbers, lettuce, cilantro, and mung bean sprouts. Banh xeo, a platter-sized pan-fried rice crepe folded over substantial nuggets of chicken and shrimp, mushrooms, and wilted mung sprouts. The phos, meal-sized soups eaten for breakfast, are good, but the pho dac biet is Song Long's best. Crisp-tender vegetables, slices of beef, herbs, and scallions glide through the noodle-streaked broth. When you're ordering your entrée, be careful: Mr. Le has a much heavier chili hand than Mrs. Le. Ask who is cooking and order accordingly if you don't want your eyes to roll to the back of your head.
Success! Your message should arrive shortly.

His autopsy reports did show that his skin colour was changed by the condition, not artificially.
I love Michael Jackson. Judge all you want.
It fucking kills when people to this day still say he bleached his skin so he wouldn't be black anymore. No. He suffered from vitiligo, a condition that steadily reduces melanin in your skin until you're esentially white. It's not treatable and there really is no cure. And it just. Ugh.

Dishwasher safe items guide
Dishwasher safe items guide
What does dishwasher safe mean?
When something is not dishwasher safe, it usually means that the item cannot handle the heat produced in the dishwasher, or that the possible agitation of being knocked against the other dishes and the racks will damage it.
It's good to know that many items which are strictly speaking dishwasher safe, can still be damaged in the dishwasher. Pots and pans with handles made of plastic and similar materials can be damaged from the high heat over time.
Here's a list of common materials that are safe to use in the dishwasher
- Aluminum - aluminum is dishwasher safe; however, high water temperatures and detergents can affect the finish of anodized aluminum.
- China/Stoneware - aways check the manufacturer's recommendations before washing. Antique, hand-painted, or over-the-glaze patterns may fade. Gold-leaf patterns can also discolour or fade.
- Crystal - check the manufacturer's recommendations before washing. Some types of leaded crystal can etch with repeated washings.
- Glass - glass is dishwasher safe; however, milk glass yellows with repeated dishwasher washing.
- Plastics - plastics are dishwasher safe; however, always check the manufacturer's recommendations before washing. Plastics vary in their capacity to withstand high temperatures and detergents. Load plastics in top rack only.
- Stainless Steel - run a rinse cycle if not washing immediately. Prolonged contact with food containing salt, vinegar, milk products or fruit juice can damage finish.
- Sterling Silver or Silver Plate - run a rinse cycle if not washing immediately. Prolonged contact with food containing salt, acid or sulfide (eggs, mayonnaise and seafood) can damage finish. Also, sterling silver or silver-plated silverware should not be placed in direct contact with stainless steel flatware. The contact point can cause an electrolytic action to take place, causing permanent pitting of the sterling.
Materials/items not safe to be washed in the dishwasher
- Disposable aluminum - do not wash throwaway aluminum pans in the dishwasher. These might shift during washing and transfer black marks to dishes and other items.
- Bottles and cans - wash bottles and cans by hand. Labels attached with glue can loosen and clog the spray arms or pump and reduce washing performance.
- Cast Iron - seasoning will be removed, and iron will rust.
- Gold - gold-coloured flatware will discolour.
- Hollow-handle knives - handles of some knives are attached to the blade with adhesives that can loosen if washed in the dishwasher.
- Pewter, brass, bronze - high water temperatures and detergent can discolour or pit the finish.
- Disposable plastics - these items cannot withstand high water temperatures and detergents.
- Tin - tin can rust.
- Wooden ware - wash by hand. Always check manufacturer's instructions before washing. Untreated wood can warp, crack, or lose its finish.

Jeremy Buck & The Bang: Jeremy Buck – Vocals, Keyboards, Guitar, Drums Joel Geist – Bass, Vocals Chris Hanna – Guitar, Vocals. Jeremy Buck is a songwriting and entertainment powerhouse. As frontman for Jeremy Buck and the Bang, Jeremy has crafted the perfect vessel for delivering exceptional songwriting, world class showmanship, and an uncanny ability to triumph over nearly impossible odds! In late 2009, Jeremy Buck and the Bang became the first independent band to go into rotation on influential LA radio station 100.3 FM "The Sound" sharing Top 5 status with the likes of Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Green Day, and The Dave Matthews Band. With clever hooks that dig in deeply and just won't let go, "Just For One Night" is an irresistible plea for an additional evening of some sweet, sweet lovin'. With the goal of exposing the world to the magic that is "Just For One Night", the boys enlisted the directorial talents of 9 time Emmy Award winner Barton Bishoff. The end result is a work of art that begs for repeated viewings. When a brilliantly shot parody of MTV's "Rock of Love" collides with TV Land classic ,b>"The Dating Game", sure, some unlucky contestants may get the boot, but the viewer and music lover will always be the ultimate winner! Every wondrous tale has a beginning, and this one is no exception. Jeremy's musical adventure begins in a small farming community in rural Indiana. At the age of nine, Jeremy earned $600 from showing a cow at the 4H County Fair. From the proceeds, he was able to purchase his first drum set, and still have a little money left over to buy himself a brand new pair of sneakers. But instead of adorning HIS feet with sporty new kicks, he opted to hook up both of his brothers with shiny new Michael Jordans'! That's just the kind of guy he is. Eventually, Jeremy was awarded a baseball scholarship to Purdue University. In between homework, practice, and games, Jeremy found some time to hone his musical skills while decimating stages with his band, "Stone Carnival". Dividing his time between three masters, Buck didn't fully focus on music until a bone-shattering line-drive ended his baseball career. "I almost lost my leg. That was a difficult time, but it made me stronger." Jeremy put all of his new-found strength behind performing, playing over 400 shows with the notorious "Stone Carnival". The stage spectacle that would one day knock Southern California and The Orient on their heels, was developing in midwestern music venues, and in the nine independent films in which Buck starred and wrote the soundtracks. Buck moved to Hollywood with little more than a dream and a shoe-box full of songs. Work soon began on recording Buck's debut CD. Culling from his impressive catalog of over 600 original songs, "A Secret Made of Dreams" provides the lift-off point that history will undoubtedly paint as the emergence of a great american songwriter. At Jeremy's premier solo gig, a show organized by close ally Darren "The Wiz" Weiler, Jeremy would first encounter the enigmatic force of nature known as Joel Paul Geist, whom Weiler had chosen to emcee the event. Little did Jeremy know that this eccentric character, who barked at the audience, would become a revered collaborator, and in the process, one of his biggest fans. Work resumed on "A Secret Made of Dreams", with Geist assuming co-production and engineering duties. Initially reluctant to performing live, Geist agreed to accompany Buck onstage, as bass player. With Buck's "Keith Moon-like ferocity" on the drums, and Geist laying down the low-end with a "John Entwistle, of The Who, meets Rick Neilsen, of Cheap Trick," authority, the backbone of one Los Angeles' most dynamic rhythm sections, had been forged. Chris Hanna was playing guitar around L.A. with his band Southside Hero when he drunkenly stumbled into a Jeremy Buck show one night. "I had never heard of this guy," slurred Hanna. "The energy of the show was fantastic and his original songs were amazing." A few weeks later, Hanna phoned Buck and asked how he could get his hands on a new copy of Buck's demo CD… he had worn-out his other one! When Buck suggested that Hanna join his band, Hanna jumped at the chance. The chemistry between Jeremy, Chris, and Joel was instant. Officially dubbed "Jeremy Buck & The Bang", Hanna's "Alex Lifeson, of the band Rush, playing guitar with The Beatles" style, in combination with his soulful background vocals and humble persona, have become an essential ingredient in the Buck-Bang Pie. With its infectious verses mischievously tucked in between rapturous choruses, the release of "A Secret Made of Dreams" showcased Bucks ability to blend insanely catchy hooks with honest and insightful lyrics. Slowly the buzz began to build about the kid from Indiana with the instantly classic songs and effortless charisma. The success of "ASMOD" led to tours across the U.S. and Japan. The band's live shows became legendary. With "Jeremy Buck & The Bang" fans demanding more, the band set about recording their new CD, "Fools Gold", with a more stripped down approach. In addition to simplifying the music, Buck strove to make "Fools Gold" a story that people could follow, from beginning to end. On "Outside My Window", Buck bares his soul on a player piano, and then bares his teeth with crashing drums and heavy chords. To help the band achieve the vibe they wanted, they enlisted the mixing skills of the legendary Kevin "Caveman" Shirley. Kevin is the producer of choice for Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Metallica, Bon Jovi, and Iron Maiden. From there, they set out on countless tours across the US and Japan, enrolling fans one song at a time. With the buzz building fast, they were offered supporting slots for "Blues Traveler", "Cheap Trick", & "Marcy Playground". Alongside their vigorous touring schedule they managed to maintain a weekly residency at the infamous "Lighthouse Caf?" in Hermosa Beach, which helped them develop a very loyal local following. With the success of "Fools Gold", they went back into the studio to record a 5 song EP, due to the mega interest from fans to gain an audio recording of the new material they were playing at their live shows. Their standout hit, "Just for One Night" could quite possibly be the song that put "Jeremy Buck & The Bang on the Map". This song has received radio play on Chicago's 93 WXRT, Pocatello, Idaho's 92.1 FM "The Edge", and LA's 100.3 FM "The Sound". In sync with Buck?s ever changing live show, he opted to make a move from behind the drums, and into the front man position. After hiring Mark Dibenedetto, aka "Mr. Deebs", to replace his chores behind the skins, Buck began to grow into a powerful and magnificent showman. With his multi-instrumental capabilities, he was able to lend his versatility, not only to the eye of the audience, but also to the ear. He effortlessly jumps from guitar, keyboard, and drums all while continuing to sing from the bottom of his soul. With his unique yet powerful performance, there is no doubt that Jeremy Buck will eventually become, if not already, one of the most incredible front man for generations to come! Currently, the guys are back in the studio recording their highly anticipated 4th album, and are gearing up for an upcoming tour to Indianapolis to play for the NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. With a tour to the UK this summer and a tour to China in the fall, 2010 is bound to be another huge year for the Bang!

Volunteers Needed
VOLUNTEERS — We always need more!
Under "normal" circumstances we have four volunteers who do the docent/working duty every Thursday morning, another two regulars for Thursday afternoons, two Friday morning regulars, and still another two for Friday afternoons. And "normal" circumstances have Roberta in the museum all day on Saturdays, which means only one or two volunteers need to be scheduled for Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon.
But, that's just when things are "normal." If something unexpected comes up — such as a family or medical issue — volunteers are needed to fill in for the "regulars." We have a few dedicated members who can be counted on to fill in in a pinch, but we can always use more backup volunteers.
And, we really need more volunteers for Saturday shifts. Some on our volunteer list are available only on Saturdays, but not every Saturday.
Getting into the volunteer docent program is easy and painless. After "signing up," a new volunteer will be given a training manual containing written information about a docent's duties and a video outlining docent procedures. New volunteers also get "on the job" training with an experienced docent.
Doing the docent thing can be an enjoyable experience, and docents can meet some interesting people. You never know who's going to drop in.
If you want to join our group of volunteers you can phone me — Liggett Taylor — at 453-6904 or send an e-mail.Click to Send an Email.
Donations Needed
Have you done your spring cleaning?? Instead of throwing away your unneeded/unwanted items, how about donating them to our annual yard sale. We are in need of most saleable items – but please no clothing, TV sets or computers. We would appreciate any antiques, collectibles, furniture, household items, small appliances, electronic items, radios, kitchen items, tools, automotive, home décor, knick-knacks, yard items, old books and magazines, holiday items and/or what have you. Please bring any donations you might have to the Museum.
Just like car gas, aviation fuel has gone (excuse the pun) "sky high." Aircraft such as the B-17 always need fuel when they come to visit and appreciate any fuel we can give them. Even at our cost this can be a big expense. If you would be interested in sponsoring or helping to sponsor an aircraft we would greatly appreciate any and all donations toward the cost of aircraft fuel. Please mark your donation "for aircraft fuel."

For Medical Students
Study: Teaching cost of care can be simple, effective
It is common knowledge that rising costs pose a major threat to the U.S. health care system. Nevertheless, education in cost-conscious medicine for physicians in training remains low and somewhat controversial. To date, only 25 percent of residency programs have formal methods to teach about the cost of care.
Researchers at Scripps Mercy Hospital set out to find how effective a small educational intervention could be on resident test-ordering. The intervention consisted of four 60-minute lectures delivered to internal medicine and transitional year residents and distribution of a pocket-sized card that contained appropriateness criteria for common abdominal pain complaints, the actual hospital charge in dollars and the radiation exposure for common abdominal imaging studies.
Following the educational intervention, the mean abdominal CT scans per patient and total abdominal imaging studies per patient were significantly reduced. Meanwhile, in-hospital mortality remained steady and the average patient radiation dose decreased. The researchers calculated a total savings of $81,528 over seven months. The total cost of the intervention was estimated to be $3,605.
The researchers believe their study shows that simple, affordable educational interventions can significantly impact test-ordering behavior. Their results were published in the June edition of the Journal of Graduate Medical Education.
Rowan medical school wins Event of the Month award
Rowan University-School of Osteopathic Medicine is the latest winner of the AMA Medical Student Section's (MSS) "Event of the Month" award, which showcases recruitment, community service, education and AMA-MSS National Service Project events coordinated by individual AMA medical student sections.
Rowan University in Stratford, N.J., won for its "Healthy Hour" event held in May. The local medical student section presented health classes for middle school students on the topics of proper hand washing and healthy eating habits. Three classes were scheduled to reach 60 middle school students. The middle-schoolers participated in several fun activities and learned healthy snack options.
The AMA provided funding for the healthy snacks distributed at the events. Visit the Event of the Month web page for a detailed description.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The season has been over for more than a month but the Yale women's hockey team is still breaking records. The Bulldogs had 19 players named to the ECAC Hockey League All-Academic team on Thursday, establishing a new high among the conference's 12 schools.
The list of honorees includes five seniors who are three-time honorees: Regan Gilbride, Kelsey Johnson, Nina Resor, Kristin Savard and Jenna Spring. It also includes every member of the Resor family (Carry, Helen and Nina), both Johnson sisters (Berit and Kelsey) and both of Yale's Olympians (Helen Resor and Denise Soesilo).
The Bulldogs had received a number of off-ice honors already this season. Spring earned Academic All-Ivy status and Johnson was a finalist for the ECAC's Student-Athlete of the Year Award. Savard is a finalist for the Hockey Humanitarian Award, with the winner to be announced Apr. 6 at the NCAA men's hockey Frozen Four in St. Louis. As a team, Yale won the ECAC's Turfer Athletic Trophy for sportsmanship.
Players are eligible for the ECAC All-Academic team if they earned a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale or have an average GPA of 3.00 over the past three semesters.
The complete list of Yale's honorees:
Yale finished the season with a school-record 96 goals, and the Bulldogs'15 wins were second-most in school history. The senior class leaves with more wins (54) than any class in school history.
