If you want an Ultrabook with a larger than average display, experts say the 15-inch Samsung Series 9 is a solid choice. It's one of the few ultraportables to offer a 15-inch screen, but that also adds to the bottom line.
Other Ultrabooks are quicker. The Series 9's combination of a Core i5 processor with 4 GB of RAM upgradable to 8 GB matches that of its rivals, but its slower solid-state drive lags a bit in benchmark tests. The laptop will still handle almost anything you throw at it with the notable exception of video games, which chug on the integrated Intel graphics, and it isn't as fast as the top-rated Acer Aspire S7 (Est. $1,330 and up) . Battery life is excellent, however, clocking in at seven to eight hours in most tests.
The biggest performance concern lies in available storage space; after system files and pre-installed software claim their share of the 128 GB SSD, you're left with only 53 GB of available space, PCMag.com reports. If that's a concern, you may want to consider investing in a step-up configuration with a 256 GB SSD (*Est. $1,700 and up).
Ergonomics are a mixed bag. Even though it's larger than most Ultrabooks, the 15-inch Samsung Series 9 is still thinner and lighter than a lot of the competition, making it easy to transport. Most experts say the keyboard is well laid out, but some report that the shallow keys become uncomfortable during extended typing sessions. Likewise, several reviewers call the touchpad fairly reliable but slightly too sensitive and "twitchy" as a result. The port selection underwhelms; only one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port, plus the use of a micro-HDMI port and a proprietary Ethernet connection irks testers.
Series 9 looks and sounds great. Reviewers appreciate the clean, simple aesthetic of the laptop's aluminum chassis. Its 1,600-by-900-pixel SuperBright display draws rave reviews for its incredible brightness and very dark blacks, but it's not full-HD; a full-HD version had just been announced at the time of this update. You can choose between 13.3- and 15-inch sizes (*Est. $1,100 and up). Audio is clear and crisp, but the lack of a subwoofer dulls low tones.
Customer support draws mixed reviews. On one hand, Samsung laptops have a reputation for durability, and the company lists several ways to get in touch with support if an issue does occur, including several social media options. On the other hand, Samsung is also known for slow and difficult customer service.
The Series 9's appeal is its total package. If you're looking for an attractive, sleek Ultrabook with a large display, the Samsung Series 9 is a good option. However, critics say it's a bit expensive compared to the competition, especially given its lack of connectivity options and low available storage space.

Review Credibility: Excellent Santo Domingo loves the clean, sleek aesthetics and speedy SSD-fueled performance of the 15-inch Samsung Series 9. However, port and storage space concerns prevent him from endorsing the Ultrabook wholeheartedly.

Review Credibility: Excellent Eitelbach finds a lot to love about the 15-inch Samsung Series 9, including its bright, high-resolution display, slim stature and super-long battery life. Even so, he finds the keyboard to be a bit shallow and says the SSD isn't the fastest around.

Review Credibility: Very Good "For users who desire broader screen real estate and a more spacious typing experience -- yet aren't willing to sacrifice portability -- the 2012 Series 9 is a near-perfect pick," Null says. He gives the Ultrabook a rating of 9 out of 10, a rare event at Wired.

5. MaximumPC.com
Review Credibility: Very Good Here the 15-inch Samsung Series 9 gets another score of 9 points out of 10. The mix of aesthetics, "capable performance" and high-res display wins over Stevenson, who says if you want a 15-inch Ultrabook, the Series 9 is the only game in town.

About the RSA
Courage, Compassion, Camaraderie, Commitment
The values that built our society post war
The RSA was formed in New Zealand in 1916 by returning Anzacs during World War One to provide support and comfort for service men and women and their families.
Today we have 105,000 members throughout New Zealand. People join us because their parents or grandparents did, because they want to connect with the values we foster, because it's a great place to socialise and bring the family, and because they want to keep New Zealand communities, safe, fun, healthy, and inclusive.
The objectives of the RSA are:
- Loyally to uphold the sovereignty of New Zealand as a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and as a member of the United Nations.
- To foster and maintain the welfare and security of New Zealand within the concept of the establishment and maintenance of international peace with honour.
- To inculcate in the individual a sense of responsibility to his fellow citizens, to his local community, and for the well-being of mankind.
- To perpetuate the comradeship born of service and to promote the general welfare of servicemen and former servicemen, their respective dependants and the former dependants of deceased servicemen or ex-servicemen.
- To promote, foster and generally supervise local Associations and RSA Clubs throughout New Zealand.

This is always a hit when I make it - a delicious combination of sweet and salty! I used to only make it in the fall, but then discovered Easter and 4th of July colored candy corn so now I make it year around. Whenever I take it to a potluck, I bring home an empty bowl!
Soooo yummy! Everyone loves every time i make it!
A staple at our Thanksgiving appitizer table. The sweet, salty, and crunchy mix is such a treat, and it is so feastive with the candy corn.
This is so good!!!! Easy to make I do double the butter, peanutbutter mix!!!! Always a hit!
Scrumptious. From the first year I made this, it was a hit with family and friends. I can't wait for the candy corn to go on sale and then get a deal on the Chex cereals in the fall so I can make this excellent recipe.

Pros Fun, Excellent Gameplay, Excellent Game Selection, Fun To Play, Multiplayer, Great Sound, Great Graphics, Quality Construction
Cons red ring of death, Requires additional purchases
Recommended it? Yes
Good For: All Ages, Teenagers, Family, Multiple Players, Adults
The Microsoft Xbox 360 is one of the best systems available. The graphics are top of the line, the sound quality are excellent. I bought this system to play First person shooters, Racers, and RPG's. The system does have a few flaws, it can overheat and Red Ring. The menu system is a little hard to use and cluttered. Other than these few flaws i've been playing my Xbox 360 Everyday for a year with little problems. And i've enjoyed every minute of it, as the system has a great selection of titles available.

Filter Results
This review is from: Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite Convertible Baby Car Seat - Lamont
Pros: Fully convertible front-facing carseat for half of what most brands charge. Well made, easy to install and has enough features (decent padding, cup holder, height-adjustable headrest) that make it an excellent value.
Cons: I doesn't have all of the extra padding or frills that other seats have, nor does the back come off to be just a booster seat (it's a highback only, which is fine), but at half the price, this is only a technicality in my book.

Nice Car Seat
This review is from: Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite Convertible Baby Car Seat - Lamont
Pros: Bought 2 of these so I can leave one in each vehicle for my son. Installation was pretty easy and the quality of the seat appears to be very good. The included instructions provide a lot of helpful information for installation and cleaning of the seat.
Cons: The price dropped the day after I ordered and Newegg wouldn't credit me the difference. I didn't want to cancel the order and possibly pay a restocking fee, but this isn't an issue with Safety 1st, so I still gave it 5 eggs.
Other Thoughts: Even with the higher price that I paid, I still thought it was a good deal. I would highly recommend this seat for anyone that needs one for his/her child.

Pictured above is the pre-order bonus for Pokémon X & Y for UK retailer, GAME. The little Poké Ball Nintendo 3DS cartridge holders are pretty damn good actually. Better than a random DLC or skin code any day.
I think it's is an unfortunate side effect of digital distribution, and I think digital distribution is saving gaming.
GAME Closing Hundreds of Stores
With GAME now in official administration, 277 stores and thousands of employees will be made redundant.
I do hope and believe there will be a phoenix rising from the flames. GAME is full of good people, it's a good store, I just think they need a different approach and I'll think they'll have one.
GAME Enters Administration
As anticipated, GAME have headed into a state of administration.
Here's the debut trailer for The Walking Dead. The title clearly shows that the game is a spin off of the popular zombie TV series. The trailer debuted on Greg Miller's IGN show, Up at Noon. It is currently being developed by Telltale Games and will drop on XBLA, PSN, PC and Mac this year.

The most popular British game's retailer, GAME, is nearing the brink of collapse according to various reports today.

The officer, who was on his way home, was shot once by a 17-year-old suspect with a semiautomatic handgun, police said.

Sandy • It seemed as though Scott Nichols' legs didn't stop moving Friday night.
The Bingham senior running back bounced off and ran over Jordan tacklers from start to finish, helping the Miners roll to a 48-27 Region 3 victory.
Nichols scored five touchdowns — three on the ground, one on a 90-yard kickoff return and the last on a pass from Kyle Gearig — as Bingham (8-0, 3-0) looked every bit like the top team in the state.
"It puts us on top, and that's a good feeling," said Nichols, who finished with 198 yards on 23 carries. "Everyone's shooting for us now. We just went out and worked hard."
Bingham coach Dave Peck spoke after the game about Nichols' legendary status in the weight room and how he brings the same approach to the field.
"I think he's the best tailback in the state," Peck said. "He's the hardest-working kid I've coached in 30 years. He's unbelievable when it comes to work ethic. He leads by example."
Nichols scored on runs of 13, 11 and 53 yards, each time breaking tackles near the line of scrimmage in front of an audience that included Stanford coach David Shaw. Nichols' kickoff return was just the answer the Miners needed after Jordan (4-4, 2-1) moved freely down the field on the game's opening touchdown drive.
Bingham's defense went to a "bend-don't-break" approach from there, and it held the high-scoring Beetdiggers in check. Quarterback Austin Kafentzis had four passes intercepted, and Bingham forced a fumble for the fifth turnover of the night. Bingham linebacker Vaka Vehikite grabbed two of the four interceptions.
Kafentzis scored three rushing touchdowns (12, 10 and 10 yards) and threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Tayler Johnson in the first quarter.
Bingham appears to have cleared one of its last hurdles on its way to a second unbeaten regular season in four years. The Miners play Copper Hills (1-7) and Alta (3-4) to close the regular season.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – According to a Coastal Carolina University expert it is not out of the question for a tsunami to one day hit the Grand Strand.
Louis Keiner, physics and oceanography professor at CCU, says he wouldn't expect devastation like the magnitude of the conditions in Japan right now, but there is some risk.
"It can happen and there are recorded tsunamis that have happened in the Atlantic. There have been none in recent memory obviously," said Keiner.
According to Keiner a tsunami is essentially a huge wave or series of waves caused by an earthquake. Plates collide and push energy up toward the surface causing a ripple effect in the water. That energy in the form of waves is known as a tsunami.
The last major earthquake in South Carolina was in Charleston in 1886. It happened on land and didn't result in a tsunami.
Horry County Emergency Management officials also recognize the tsunami risks, demonstrated by signs placed along the beach and a full-fledged tsunami plan.
"What we look at is the immediate threat which would be along the beach all the way to Ocean Boulevard and that's our evacuation zone," said Alicia Sanders, with the emergency management office.
Some along the beach say they haven't ever thought of what to do if a tsunami threatens, but understand the reasons for preparation.
"We need to stay alert and stay conscious and aware of what's going on around us and be on our toes in case something does happen. We need to be prepared," said Jeanne Edwards, of Myrtle Beach.
According to city officials Myrtle Beach is one of only a few designated tsunami-ready cities in the U.S.

Meat Helmet
Meat Helmet is a scrutinizing look at the fast food chains absurd attempt of fast food chains to market to the health conscious. Most recently, McDonald's produced the Adult Happy meal, complete with areplacing the "prize" childern would receive with a pedometer. This step-counter was a laughable attempt to derail redirect a growing awareness of McDonald's most unhealthy menu selections. SWAMP's "Meat Helmet" introduces the antithetical adult-happy meal; designed to reveal, rather than conceal, the contradictions inherent with health-conscious fast food.
The Big Mac is a standard unit in fast food iconography. It also has 560 calories, and if you want to eat one and be physically fit – "Meat Helmet" will teach expose you the arduous pains of enjoying such a luxury. Controlled by a CPU located in the belt, pPneumatic 'air muscles' control the helmet, forceing the user to eat at specified intervals specified by a CPU located on a belt. The on-board program sends out commands to an electronic valve, which controls thecontrolling the supply of compressed air to the air muscles. A keypad allows the user to punch-in the number of calories about to be consumed (Big Mac = 560), where the "Meat Helmet" program will calculate how long one must chew to burn them off (chewing = 70 calories/hour), starting the helmet's forced-chewing upon the user (8 hour workout!

Merlin in talks to build 425-foot Orlando Eye observation wheel on I-Drive
Written by Robert Niles
Merlin Entertainments confirmed today that it is in "advanced" talks to build a version of the famous London Eye in Orlando.Tweet
The London Eye
Merlin, which is building Legoland Florida in Winter Haven for a planned October opening, would be a participant in the planned I-Walk Orlando development, slated for the old Mercado location on Orlando's International Drive.
At 425 feet, the Orlando Eye would be a smidge smaller than the London Eye, which stands at 440 feet. The world's largest observation wheel is the Singapore Flyer, which stands 540 feet. The Orlando Eye would be about the same height as the new Peabody Hotel tower. (TPI reader and commentator TH Creative, this is where you jump in with a comment, I believe?)
Circle Entertainment, Inc. and Unicorp are developing the I-Walk Orlando project, which is scheduled to open in 2013. According to a joint press release e-mailed today, they want to bring Merlin on board to provide the observation wheel, as well as possibly a Madame Tussaud's wax museum and another, unnamed indoor attraction for the site.
Readers' Opinions
From Joseph Catlett on March 2, 2011 at 3:19 PM
I really don't get this. In London there are plenty of sights to see. On I Drive what are you going to see, swamps? Sound like a loser idea to me.
From Robert Niles on March 2, 2011 at 3:49 PM
At that height and position, you should be able to see SeaWorld and Universal Orlando, shouldn't you?
From Joseph Catlett on March 2, 2011 at 4:09 PM
Robert, you should be able to, however, from Sea World's Sky Tower you'll see the same views, from about the same height for only about 5-7 dollars. The London Eye charges appx 20 dollars for the ride, I can't imagine the Florida version being much cheaper. I'm not sold.
I'll put it out there. If it opens, it will close within 3 years.
The London Eye has consistently struggled to remain profitable for the owners, at least according to the articles I've read over the last decade.
From Robert Niles on March 2, 2011 at 5:11 PM
i think the best business analogy here is not SeaWorld's tower (which requires theme park admission), but Downtown Disney's Characters in Flight. That gets you a 400-foot view for $18 ($12 for kids under 10). I think that sets the market price for this sort of thing in Orlando.
From Daniel Etcheberry on March 2, 2011 at 5:16 PM
It was time to bring Madame Tussaud's wax museum to Orlando. To see Seaworld and Universal from the wheel is not very interesting; it's more interesting to see the Disneyworld resort from the Characters in Flight balloon at Downtown Disney.
From James Rao on March 3, 2011 at 4:42 AM
They better have a restroom in those ride vehicles! And some really good, fresh air circulation! As long as it takes to load and unload a traditional Ferris Wheel, riders are going to be cycling on this behemoth for a good long time before they are finally free again!
Might be something you do once, just to say, "I did that".
From Susan Jackson on March 3, 2011 at 5:29 AM
I am curious to see if this actually happens. This is the 2nd time they have announced this project. The first time, it was a huge deal and then nothing. I can hope that it actually happens this time.
From 220.127.116.11 on March 3, 2011 at 6:16 AM
Stationary observation wheels are the future of entertainment. Not some overpiced tourist trap. Someone should start a company that builds such wheels all arround the world and sell the shares as closed fund through Deutsche bank which will manage to collect 200 million Euro with such a nice sales story and the right incentive, say 10% of the invested sum upfront to Deutsche.
Oh wait, someone already did that.
From Robert Niles on March 3, 2011 at 9:19 AM
From 18.104.22.168 on March 3, 2011 at 10:20 AM
James, the London Eye loads continuously as the cars move through the station area, the loading process features air gates and lasts a matter of seconds, not delaying the wheel's motion. I am sure Orlando's wheel will work the same.
From James Rao on March 3, 2011 at 8:58 PM
Thanks for the info, but how long is the cycle? Long enough to need bathrooms? And what if someone stinks? Ugh! Like being trapped in one of the Finding Nemo subs with a swarm of unwashed teenagers!
I think it would be more fun if the wheel spun continuously and people had to time it just right then...LEAP onto a passing car.
Indiana Jones music could play in the background during the leap!
Still, ride it once, then get back to the theme parks, I say!
From 188.8.131.52 on March 4, 2011 at 10:59 AM
The London Eye lasts approximately 25 minutes
From 184.108.40.206 on March 4, 2011 at 12:48 PM
Can you really compare this to the London Eye? It does not have large spacious capsules that hold 25 or more people comfortably or accommodate events such as weddings. It has instead small gondolas with just a few people that move along a circular track on a "chain drive". It does not seem to be in the same class.
From TH Creative on March 4, 2011 at 1:10 PM

Like you, we also carry talkies, just in case. In fact there are a lot of 'just in case' items in my pack, darn thing is nearing 30#s.

Saturday Notre Dame honored the seniors on this year's squad, as many of them set foot on the field for the final time. One of those honorees, was the captain, a man who's led the team and kept it together all season long.
Harrison Smith's come a long way.
"My first year here was one of the worst in Notre Dame history," he recalled of 2007.
From a young kid to the disciplined captain and leader. Jamoris Slaughter even called him the Godfather of the defense.
"I get that a lot," Smith said. "That's pretty much daily. I'm actually not the oldest guy on the team, but I'm definitely one of them. They like to call me grandpa and stuff like that."
Like a grandfather, he's the one they turn to for advise.
"Kind of the rock of our football team," Tommy Rees said of Smith. "He's a a guy you can always count on. A great senior leader this being his 5th year, and I think a lot of guys look up to him for all the right reasons."
And when tensions flaired and the house got divided just before the Navy game, it was Harrison Smith who brought the family back together.
"We just came together. Players, coaches. Support staff. Kind of shared what was on our hearts. Know that we have each other's backs. And we just moved forward as a family does," Smith said.
That family grew stronger after that brief divide and a new motto emerged. "Count on me," a saying Harrison now emphasizes greatly before games.
"Each person has a responsibility within the team," he said. "You should be counted to do your job. It's kind of a responsibility thing. It's a constant reminder that you need to do your job within this organization."
And no one does his job, anchoring the irish, better than Harrison.
"I couldn't imagine anyone behind besides Harrison," Manti Te'o said. "He just does everything. He does everything. I don't know. nobody can replace that guy."
Harrison said there was nothing he wanted more than to get a win on Senior day. That's exactly what he got.

I am a Millennial. Generation Y. Born between the birth of AIDS and 9/11, give or take. They call us "the Global Generation." We are known for our entitlement and narcissism. Some say it's because we're the first generation where every kid gets a trophy just for showing up. Others think it's because social media allows us to post every time we fart or have a sandwich for all the world to see. But it seems that our one defining trait is a numbness to the world, an indifference to suffering.

The keytab generator is an online, self-service method for users to generate kerberos keytabs for use with the Penn State Access Account (dce.psu.edu) kerberos realm.
What is a keytab file? What is the Keytab Generator?
Keytab (key table) files store an encrypted (hashed) form of one or more Kerberos passwords. The Keytab Generator application creates service principals and corresponding keytab files which can be used to enable servers to authenticate users via kerberos tickets from the Penn State Kerberos servers.
Keep keytab files safe!
Even though the password(s) in a keytab file are encrypted in a way that is virtually impossible to decrypt to obtain the original password, the keytab files can be used to authenticate to the Kerberos Servers in place of the password. The same care must be used with keytab files as that must be used to protect the passwords: Do not disclose keytab files to unauthorized parties, secure the file with proper encryption while transmitting over the network and use proper permissions while stored on a computer.
What is a Kerberos Service Principal?
A service principal is a special kerberos account (or principal) which is used to identify a computer service. This is in contrast to a kerberos user principal, which is used to identify a computer user.
An example user principal name would look like:
- xyz123
An example service principal name would look like:
- cifs/win.pass.psu.edu
The corresponding service principal keytab file created by the Keytab Generator would use the name:
- cifs.win.pass.psu.edu.keytab
Types of service principals
Services that can be "kerberized" (configured to accept kerberos tickets) include:
- cifs: Common Internet File Service, also known as the Windows file sharing protocol, or smb
- afpserver: Apple Filing Protocol
- nfs: Network File Service
- ldap: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
- smtp: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
- pop: Post Office Protocol
- imap: Internet Message Access Protocol
- host: generic host identity, used by sshd, as well as clients
- HTTP: Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol, some systems prefer lowercase "http" service name
- vnc: Virtual Network Computing, remote computer desktop management
- vpn: Virtual Private Networking
- xgrid: Apple's distributed (grid) computing
- ipp: Internet Printing Protocol
- xmpp: Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, used by Jabber; some servers prefer upper case "XMPP"
- ftp: File Transfer Protocol
- pcast: Podcast Producer
These service principal types describe the first part of the name before the slash. The computer's fully qualified DNS domain name is used as the latter part of the name. A given server may host multiple services and thus use more than one service principal name.
In addition to server keytabs, which identify servers to clients and verify user authentication credentials on the server, a service principal may be used to identify a client. Usually this is the host principal, however some clients may use other service principals, such as nfs for the Linux NFS client.
Who can use the Keytab Generator?
The current version of the Keytab Generator provides access to two types of keytabs:
- Personal Keytabs – Keytab files for Linux NFS clients, allowed to everyone with an Access Account
- Server Keytabs – Keytab files for both clients and servers, restricted to authorized IT staff
IT staff are authorized to request Server Keytabs by their department head and vetted by the department's designated ITS Consultant. Contact your designated ITS Consultant for further instructions. Some additional information about the use of keytabs is described in the Access Account Integration wiki (restricted to Penn State full-time faculty/staff).
How does a "Server Keytab" differ from a service principal keytab?
A "Server Keytab" is any service principal keytab that matches a real DNS name. Only authorized IT staff may request them.
A "Personal Keytab" is a special service principal keytab which is restricted in name to type/userid.keytab.psu.edu where type can be only either nfs or host and userid must match the requesting user's userid.
Encryption Types
Currently, the Kerberos Keytab Generator allows service principals and corresponding keytabs to be created using the following encryption types:
- des-cbc-crc
- des3-cbc-sha1
- rc4-hmac
- aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96
- aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96
Keytab Generator URL
Access the Keytab Generator.
Previous or current versions:
- Phase 1: Server Keytabs only, pilot version
- Phase 2: released Feb 18, 2010: Initial production release, introduce Personal Keytabs
- Phase 3: support to select optional encryption types to provide more compatibility with servers, add support for AES and RC4 encryption types in keytabs
Future revisions for the keytab generator will allow for:
- Later Phases:
- Request existing Server Keytabs to be rekeyed or deleted
- Bulk keytab requests

A recent AJC article indicated that the topic of flu shots in the workplace has become a popular topic of discussion at Atlanta law offices. That's because employers are seeking legal advice about whether or not they can mandate their staff members to obtain flu shots, as the threat of swine flu looms this fall and winter.
So far, major employers in metro Atlanta are not considering making the swine flu vaccine mandatory. Instead, they are setting up on-site locations for their staff to receive the flu vaccine, if they choose to do so.
Should employers be allowed to mandate flu shots for their staff members? Would you get a flu shot if your employer asked?
October 5th, 2009
11:53 am
"Right to Work" ironically means Hire/Fire at will.
October 5th, 2009
11:59 am
Absolutely not! That is taking things too far.
October 5th, 2009
12:10 pm
I do believe that people out in the workforce should be required to get the shot since a lot of people are not respectful enough to stay home and sit it out. Why, get other's sick and make them stay at home?
October 5th, 2009
12:33 pm
While this might work for some easy to replace employee's how well would things work out if you lost hard to replace employees over flu shots? While it seems like a good idea from the productivity angle how about how much it will cost to replace highly skilled employees who could have another job in a week with a call to their recruiter? Its not a good idea to force anybody to do anything especially those who are running your enterprise.
October 5th, 2009
12:33 pm
I would love to see the look on the "faces" of every employer when the entire workforce of the United States failed to report for work on the day they mandated flu shots.
That would be a PANDEMIC !!!
October 5th, 2009
12:40 pm
Enter your comments here I am a critical care nurse who has been required to have annnual TB test, all immunizations including hepatitis current, in order to protect me And the Patient. Do you really want a nurse who has the flu leaning over you? Do you want to get it from a patient? By the time there are symptoms one has already exposed others.
October 5th, 2009
12:48 pm
Absolutely not. Requiring that an employee put something into their body that they wouldn't otherwise ingest/inject is invasive and beyond the realm of an employers jurisdiction. They've hired me to do a job for them, that does not mean they own my body.
If they want to enforce a policy that requires anyone with a fever to stay home, that's fine.
October 5th, 2009
12:48 pm
I wonder what your feelings would be if your loved one was in the hospital and became infected with H1N1 or the seasonal flu by a nurse or other hospital worker who was not properly immunized. A person can be contagious for 24-48 hours PRIOR to the first symptom, so the nurse taking care of your child in the hospital can look healthy, feel healthy, but can still spread the flu. What would you say then?
Would you be worried about the nurse's personal rights? Or public (your child's) health then? What about all of the other children that nurse took care of that day?
I am a nurse who works in a NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Premature babies, sick newborns who by definition are immunosupressed. I will GLADLY be getting both the seasonal flu shot tomorrow and the H1N1 vaccine as soon as it is available at my hospital. It IS mandated, but I would do it anyway. It is a question of public health. The H1N1 vaccine IS safe. It has been tested here in the US as well as in Europe. Both vaccines utilize DEAD viruses, so you do not get the flu from the flu shot. Both are available in mercury-free versions, if you request it. Squalene is NOT an ingredient in the US version of H1N1 vaccine. Get the facts, not rumors before you make up your mind.
October 5th, 2009

No! There should be no mandating of the H1N1 shot. There have been negative results from this shot and the companies making the drug are held harmless of any damages incurring to victims of the shot.

chalk up – yet another Hell no. If my company tries that – they can have a good time replacing my ass.

iF YOU ONLY KNEW WHAT'S IN THAT H1NI SHOT…YOU WILL RUN FAST AND I MEAN FAST!!!!
October 5th, 2009
1:28 pm
The fact that everyone said "NO", makes me realize that people are starting to wake up.
There is a revolution of mind going on in this country. I'm very happy to be part of the wake up call. Also very happy to call myself an American alongside this folks! Pretty damn awesome!
Now we have to all band together and demand the Federal Reserve become, well…Federalized! The central banking cartels that run our paper money have ripped us off for far too long.
October 5th, 2009
1:31 pm
No, no and no…forcing people to get a shot that hasn't proven to be effective isn't the answer
October 5th, 2009
1:34 pm
Yes. I think everyone should get a flu shot.
October 5th, 2009
1:35 pm
Yes. I think everyone shoud get a flu shot.

I know we lost the right to free speech, I know we lost the right to due process. How many more rights are we willing to just give up before something is done? We do not get preventative medicine/alternative medicine costs paid for by the companies we work for, or by the government. Yet, they want to force something the "prevents" (and NO IT DOESN'T PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING THE WHATEVER IT IS THEY'RE TRYING TO PEDDLE, IN FACT IT MAKES YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO IT!!!) a new disease they come up with?
Swine flu, bird flu, mosquito flu, next we'll have boar flu and kamikaze flu!
Instead of mandating things that ONLY BENEFIT F***ing DRUG COMPANIES, WHY NOT MONITOR WHAT THOSE COMPANIES DO, SO THEY DON'T GO CREATING ANY MORE DISEASES THAT THEY UNLEASH UPON THE GENERAL POPULATION? BUT NO! THERE'S GOT TO BE PROFIT!
Mandate people working out! Mandate ORGANIC food growth and production! Mandate CLEAN AIR! MANDATE a stop in GLOBAL WARMING! Mandate things that strengthen our immune system, not jeopardize it! But hey, WHERE'S THE PROFIT IN THAT, RIGHT?
And for those of you that have already drank the cool-aid, OPEN UP YOUR EYES! LOOK AROUND YOU! SEE THE STATE OF AFFAIRS WE AS A PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY IN!
If you want to take the darn shot, MOVE TO MASSACHUSETTS and vote for this new law they're trying to pass! In this law, the Governor has the right (or soon will have) to indeed mandate/force you to take the shot. If you refuse, you could be fined up to $10,000 & 5 years in prison! Yeah! We live in a free country!
God save us all!

Paul, apparently you don't know what's in the H1N1 immunization either, or you'd state it, and you wouldn't be so frightened.
For those who don't want thimerisol (the mercury-based preservative) in their flu shots (H1N1 or seasonal), they can request either a single-dose vial which is preservative-free, or the flu mist which is administered as a nasal spray. However, the flu mist is a LIVE, attenuated (meaning weakened) version of the flu (seasonal or H1N1) virus, so there are risks involved with that. If you are around someone who is immunocompromised, you should not get the flu mist, because the live virus can be "shed" from your nose when you sneeze or cough, and there is a small risk that you can actually get the flu from the flu mist (unlike the flu shots).
Squalene is an adjuvant which is approved for use in Europe. It is NOT approved by the FDA and therefore NOT in the H1N1 vaccine here. Adjuvants are materials which help boost the effectiveness of a vaccine, but at this time there is none being used in H1N1.
October 5th, 2009
1:52 pm
I believe that it is each persons right to decide if they want to get the flu shot or not. I don't believe a company has the right to force anything on an employee that may endanger their lives. Although, they are paying your bills at this point and yes, you are enslaved to them for a specific amount of time during the day. If you don't want to be forced by corporate america to do things then start your own business and run it how you like. No one says, we HAVE to work for someone else. We live in a free country, it is our government that educates us in our government run schools, that we are programmed to go to College, get a "good job" (Where does that exist?), and you will be set. Apparently all of the same unemployed people in today's economy is looking for that "good job". Jobs are great as a temporary means or if you like to stay employed and don't have the desire to work for someone else. REGARDLESS, we should never be FORCED to ever inject our bodies with a vaccine. I had the flu once 10 years ago, and that was only a couple months, after I had open heart surgery and my immune system was down. I revived and am still alive 10 years later.
If you don't want to catch the flu take your vitamins, like Nutrilite Supplements, DoubleX – (I get mine at) jwaller.qhealthbeauty . com and other supplements that has Vitamin C & D in it, to keep your immune system healthy during the winter months.

You're delusional if you think the H1N1 vaccine doesn't contain Squalene. Google it Melissa, it's in the vaccine, but if you still don't believe Squalene is in the vaccine, go ahead and take the vaccine, take a chance on getting 'Gulf War Syndrome'. Do you think our precious government isn't willing to give their own people Squalene? Look at the soldiers from the Gulf War, look at all the unapproved injections they were forced to take. Go ahead Melissa, take the vaccine, trust your government and believe everything they tell you.

No, I think if employers start mandating vaccines, then they have crossed the line. I definitely would not take a vaccine. If I have had the flu, i would not know because I treat it like I treat a cold, drink plenty of fluids and stay home so you dont infect anyone else. I agree with other people, if I get sick or worse, die from the vaccine, can I sue you.? I know the answer is no, so why risk my life.

Whether an employer can legally force an employee to take a flu shot, and prevail in a law suit if they fire a non complying employee, it is clear that the benefit to an office is primarily to the employee who takes the shot. If all but one take the shot, the one who doesn't, and gets sick, isn't going to infect those who did take the shot. However if the employer requires the employee to take the shot as a condition of continued employment, and the employee has a negative reaction or catastrophic reaction to the shot, which can very rarely happen, the employer would be subject to a law suit by the employee. Whether they would prevail or not would depend on the court.

The AJC trial-balloon question was Can. . .? Okay, perhaps employers, under some obscure law, require employees to sacrifice their health (although is the vaccine approved by OSHA?), but the question might be rephrased in two parts to be more telling:
1) Should employers be allowed to require. . . and 2) If an employer requires. . . will you submit?
So I'll answer my questions:
1) NO! The last I heard we were a democracy and a republic. We are not yet the United Socialist States of America–let's not push it.
2) If I had an employer, I wouldn't submit.
May The Lord Y'shuaJesus have mercy upon this once-free and reasonable nation.

First issue: Georgia is a RTW state, To remain such, there are compromises to be made. One of those choices is to allow private employers to do anything legal as a requirement of employment. Unless you have a contract which explicitly excludes the 'and other duties as assigned' included in almost all regular level, non executive positions, you then make the choice to do as they will or resign. You have to face reality of life without unions. Business loves it. Employees don't always.
Second issue: Sick leave, Health insurance, employment reviews: Absences are counted against you at most businesses. Sick leave is meaningless at others. Do you go to work sick and spread your contagion or do you do the right thing, stay home and use some sick leave if you have it?
Final Issue: If I had a business where my workers were in constant contact with the public or in a largely populated work environment, I would STRONGLY encourage them to be up to date on their life saving immunizations including flu vaccines. The risks are smaller with all immunizations than with full blown disease. The consequences of disease involve a greater scope than one person's body. We do have to think of the common good at times.

Hell No!!! Thousands die every year from regular flu and the flu shot is not required for the regular flu. There have not been thousands dying of the swine flew the whole thing is a scare tactic makes you wonder what's in this untested vaccine that someone wants us to make so bad to make it mandatory. Welcome to 1984 the Facist state run government is upon us google Alex jones and know the truth

I am an employer and would not mandate such a policy. I would not want an employee to report to work with the flu either. If absenteeism becomes an issue due to flu, then I would handle it on a case by case basis.

A little more information for everyone:
The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.
The adjuvant? Squalene.
Squalene (MF-59), an ingredient in the H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccine has been shown to cause severe autoimmune disorders such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. This is the vaccine adjuvant that is strongly linked to the Gulf War syndrome, which killed over 10,000 soldiers and caused a 200% increase in the fatal disease ALS (Lou Gehreg disease).

Enter your comments here Your work place should not require you to put any substance into your body but they should focus on sending someone home if they suspect that person has a bad cold or flu. A firm suggestion from a supervisor or human resouces person that an individual take a couple of days off to recoup from a bad cold or flu is not unreasonable.

Companies who care enough about the productivity and well being of employees to actually do whatever it takes to have a healthy workforce, are companies that individuals should want to work for. First, if your co-workers are not reporting to work sick with the flu, you will reduce your own chances of becoming sick and also passing the flu to your friends and family. Second, companies are wanting to retain productivity with a healthy workforce – there is nothing wrong with that as productivity is what earns companies money and in turn, provides jobs and benefits to employees.

This has become a scary DON'T VACCINATE blog. How about reading the question?
No, unless you are a health care or child care worker, it should not be required of an employer…What about our military employees? They are immunized for our country's safety and for their own. Adverse events that are long lasting are rare considering the amount of vaccines administered and the millions of servicepeople immunized.
Growing up, I actually suffered through measles (three different kinds), chicken pox, mumps and other diseases for which vaccines are available today. So many children and others died then as compared to now although our population has increased. The two persons in my large family who died from flu were young and healthy. I gladly have had all of my children and grandchildren immunized and all are up to date with yearly boosters when necessary and flu shots when needed. In the case of all current immunizations, the percentage of those who have had adverse events is tiny compared to those who have had terribly adverse reactions to simple Tylenol and Tylenol based drugs yet we still use them because that is still a small percentage of users.
The scare mongers are out there. But please put it in perspective.

Wow, where are we living? What is happening to personal liberties and responsibilities? The flu shot does not prevent the flu. Let's just start there. Healthy people should not be required to receive the flue shot as a conditon of employment. Flu shots are for immune compromised individuals – not normal healthy folks.
It's a money thing people!
October 5th, 2009

As people say Georgia is a right to work state. But does that allow employers to dictate what you do with your personal life? The choice of taking or not taking the flu shot is a personal one and even though you work for some one that does not give them the right to make choices for you. You let them make this one and soon they will be making all of your choices. Such as whom you can date, what car you should drive, who you can marry etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. If that is what you want go ahead and allow the work place to dictate your personal choices to you. Me I will make my own decisions thank you.

Absolutely not! But I would also add to all the other adults who've answered no, why is it ok for the government to force parents to vaccinate their children? Same diff, folks! Inadequate or compromised testing, toxic chemicals, aborted fetal tissue, limited immunity and effectiveness, side effects… These are all reasons why I don't vaccinate myself and why it galls me that I've had to do it to my children.

IMO the "hell no" commenters are ignorant and short-sighted at best and downright dangerous at worst. It appears that they haven't bothered to read the flu.gov or cdc.gov web sites, but instead are rehashing wildly inaccurate urban legends to support their refusal to be vaccinated. I got the swine flu shot in 1976 (with no side effects), and the same type of people reacted exactly the same way. Some things never change.
I plan on getting both vaccines to protect myself and those around me. If you are a "hell no" type who won't get vaccinated, please let me know where you work – or will be looking for work — so I can avoid those places.

I work in the medical field as a Medical Assistant in a doctor's office. I have never had the flu shot (before working at the doctor's office and even while working at the doctor's office), and I have never gotten the flu. The flu shot itself has the dead virus, everyone carries all of the viruses and diseases inside of us, it just takes something to trigger it to come out. My employer told me that I need to get the vaccine for the flu and I refused. They want me to get the Swine Flu Vaccine, I will continue to refuse. If we all think back to 1975 and how many people got a lifetime problem of Bells Palsy from the Swine Flu Vaccine back then, who knows what you will get with this one. As the old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!!!! If I have been immune through confirmed cases that have come into our office already, I may already have immunity to it – why inject myself and get sick???? Couldn't be me!!!

If your work place would be at risk (healthcare,work with children/college students),employees should get vaccinated. What is wrong with keeping a healthy workplace. Fear and lack of understanding is creating a negative attitude. If employees are unsure of the swine flu vaccine they should at least get the annual flu vaccine to boost their immunity. I was in the military in 1976 when the swine flu vaccine was required to prove it was safe. I had a very sore arm but otherwise I was fine. I am sure the vaccine process has improved in 33 years. Think about what would happen if the illness spread rapidly and many were sick. They economy is depressed enough. A mass flu outbreak would keep everyone home, no one to shop or work or keep operations moving.

Since it is a VIOLATION of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, NO, employers should not be able to force an employee to take a vaccination of any kind, health care worker or NOT. The CDC is controlled by board members that have financial interests in the pharmaceutical companies. HellO! Search for and download the affidavit (it's online, don't have time to post link here) that tells your employer you will not have your rights violated, even if you have to say it's for religious reasons and you have no religion. I waved it in front of my boss's face concerning the TB test (another farce!! Don't fall for it!) and they never mentioned it again. As for Bajeha and Sue, right above me here, READ, people. Read. Research. Educate yourself. It's a LIE. You do not know what you are talking about, so please go get some real information and stop believing what the so-called "authorities" tell you. Be your own authority and STOP letting others run your life. Don't be the sheep they want you to be.
Not only NO, but HELL, NO. Not ever. Because I'm smarter than they want me to be.

No one should be forced to get the vaccine of course, but let's stop with the conspiracy theories please. No one is trying to control you in this case. When they say "you only have your health", that's very true. Have people gotten sick from the vaccine? Yes, your body's immune system is built up as a result which is essential. People who are allergic to eggs and chicken shouldn't take it, it's common sense.
As for the mercury, there are very very trace amounts of mercury or whatever preservative they use. And you know what? If you're still too scared to get injected, the vaccine is offered in a nasal mist and there's no mercury! My nephews had this done a couple of weeks ago
I had the injection a couple of weeks ago. I'm fine. I didn't get sick after and I haven't gotten sick since. This will be the end result for 99% of the people who get vaccinated.
You want to get mad at the big corporate world? Have at it. But by "refusing" to get vaccinated you're not striking back at anyone. Enjoy your freedom, and "don't cough on me".
October 6th, 2009

I agree that no one should be able to force you to take any kind of medicine, but this is a "right to work state" and they can legally let you go with no recourse. The economy is in very bad shape as we all know so I wouldn't rock the boat at work right now. Pick and choose your battles very carefully or you could be collecting unemployment along with many other Americans. I believe we have rights but there is a time and place for everything. The holidays are coming closer and it will be a cold winter, especially if you are not working!

Will folks have to take birth control, so companies won't have to pay for pregnacy. Oh wait, Obama care will take care of all that. "Stop with the conspiracy theories", …you're right, I guess it's not really a consipriacy theory if it's not really being hidden…lol.

Wow. I can't believe that so many people can be so ignorant about such a simple subject. I work for the government and can assure you that: (1) No, we did not create the flu virus. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Every year, a new variant of the flu virus develops within the pig or fowl population and is passed to humans. This usually happens someplace in Asia and then it spreads around the world. (2) The vaccine is not poison. We are not in cahoots with the drug companies, trying to make money by injecting unsuspecting citizens with something that will harm them. In fact, the flu vaccine is free this year. That's right. The government is footing the bill to keep American healthy this flu season. (3) The H1N1 vaccine does not contain avian flu, swine flu, and seasonal flu all in one dose. That would be great if we could get them all into one shot, but it's just not the case. In fact, the avian flu vaccine is not yet available to the public.
The CDC has some great information about the flu, both H1N1 and seasonal. I encourage the paranoid masses to read up a little bit before they go spreading rumors. http://www.cdc.gov

No one should be forced into medical care that is not of their choosing and I would refuse. However, for all the people that are speaking of rights being taken away, Remember the people in this country that currently do not have all of the rights you do… the rights that are refused others could just as easily be refused you. Rights in this country are a matter of convenience. Thank you right wing republicans!

PublicHealthProfessional….the issue here is that employers are forcing employees to take something into their bodies that they don't want. Thanks for the flu lesson, but you seemed to stepped right around the main point. For people who would like it great, but employers shouldn't have the ablitity to "force" it on the "paranoid masses" with an ultimatum of losing their jobs.
Now on the other hand, you do have to get your children vaccinated in order to get them into pulbic schools, so in a sense, this is nothing new. Though they are still researching the relationship between these vaccination and illness contibuted to it later on in life.
I don't believe people have faith in this rushed solution, and certainly not in a employer dictating your medical needs.

WAKE UP AMERICA … WE ARE QUICKLY BECOMING THE SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA … AND WHAT EMPLOYER WOULD WANT TO TAKE ON THE LIABILITY THAT SUCH AN ACTION COULD INITIATE? NO EMPLOYER IN HIS OR HER RIGHT MIND~! THIS IS JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE OF ALL THAT IS WRONG IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY … PERSONAL FREEDOMS ARE BEING ERODED … WHILE "BIG BROTHER" IS TAKING OVER! IT'S PAST TIME FOR AMERICANS TO SEE THE LIGHT!

This is witch house
Pictureplane's Travis Egedy details the genre he accidentally created
Travi Egedy knows witch house
by Tuyet Nguyen December 30, 2010
Related events
Related artists
Travis Egedy, better known as Denver's Pictureplane, is calling from Alaska. He's been there for the past few days, touring the frozen north and seeing the sights with Richmond's Narwhalz. And though the trip is a short one—Egedy will be back home in time for a New Year's Eve appearance with Crystal Castles at the Boulder Theater—it's already gotten pretty weird. "[We're] really just taking it to this extreme level of absurdity up here," Egedy says. "Basically, all we've been trying to do is find guns and light tires on fire and then roll them down hills." It sounds a bit surreal—romantic even. But this is what Egedy is all about: having fun and making art. And, occasionally, starting movements.
Egedy lays claim to the term "witch house," an invented phrase he blithely came up with in late 2009 to describe his own music. It didn't mean much when it was first published, in a quote from Egedy on Pitchfork, but as with most things on the internet, it never fully went away either. It showed up on blogs, on Last.fm, and then—perhaps the surest sign of its mainstream acceptance—it appeared in a New York Times article. By the time it came back to Egedy, witch house had already been dissected by Todd Pendu, taken through the rounds of fervor and fallout, simultaneously debated and written off. And all Egedy could do was laugh about it, and further muddle it with a purposely ridiculous list of "rules to make a great witch house song." So what is the real story on witch house? Egedy explains.
It's a joke.
Travis Egedy: Myself and my friend Shams—he makes house music, too—we were joking about the sort of house music we make, [and we were calling it] witch house because it's, like, occult-based house music. It was 2009. And then I did this best-of-the-year thing with Pitchfork about witch house, and it was me and Shams and Modern Witch. I was saying that we were witch house bands, and 2010 was going to be the year of witch house, that it was going to get really witchy and stuff. It took off from there. Different people started posting about it on blogs, and it sort of became an internet meme. And someone attached the name witch house to the sounds that bands like Salem were making—the slowed down, spooky, Goth juke kind of stuff.
Except that it's not really a joke anymore.
TE: It was never meant to be an actual genre, at least not fully. It was a half-assed conceptual joke that really turned into something real. It's [become] a weird, cultural phenomenon—all these bands doing this sort of similar aesthetic. But, at the time, when I said witch house, it didn't even really exist. I think it has some staying power. The name is goofy, but there is a lot of legitimate art that's being made within witch house. So I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
But, really, it's still sort of a joke.
TE: A couple days ago I found out that there's a witch-house.com. It's really absurd to me that people are treating it like this actual genre. You can't do that. You'll kill it. Styles and trends become stagnant or really un-cool, I think, if you try and identify it as this one thing or this one style. It gets boring. People will get bored of it. We'll see if that happens with witch house. I say try and keep it forward moving.
The A.V. Club: Did you look at witch-house.com? What did you think of it?
TE: It's people asking questions like, "What kind of music equipment do I need for my witch house band?" Like, in all seriousness. You want to start a witch house band and you're wondering what kind of equipment you need? That's pretty absurd. But I guess that's how the internet goes. And who knows who even started [the website]? Anyone can start anything.
AVC: Are there any defining characteristics to witch house?
TE: [Laughs.] It doesn't exist. That's the thing. I think that's what people don't understand. There is no list of rules, that's why I made that list of rules, because it's so retarded and arbitrary. They asked me about witch house, and it's like, "Are these kids joking?" To limit yourself or pigeonhole yourself, to put yourself in a box, in a frame, "Oh, I'm witch house, therefore I have to act like this or sound like this," you're really losing the point.

Thanks Alisa Slaughter!
Animation by Joanna Neborsky. We recently published a book based on the panel.
My son and I used to live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He was once in his stroller on Bedford Avenue when a twentysomething guy emerged from his apartment on North 8th Street decked out in full hipster uniform. He was as skinny as OC-era Mischa Barton, with minuscule black pegged jeans, a black hat of the sort Zorro might wear. My son gazed at him and said in the voice of the unselfconscious toddler, "Look at that old witch!"
—from "Williamsburg Year Zero" by Jennifer Baumgardner in What Was The Hipster?
The lengthy journey made by What Was The Hipster? or Issue 10: Self-Improvement if ordered through Amazon (British or otherwise).
The attempt to analyze the hipster provokes such universal anxiety because it calls everyone's bluff.

Hipster History: Mark Grief on Brian Lehrer
From WNYC:
Mark Greif, co-founding editor of the literary journal n+1 and frequent contributor to The American Prospect, discusses the rise and fall of the contemporary hipster on WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show. Greif also participated in a writers' debate on the topic, published in What Was The Hipster?: A Sociological Investigation (n+1 Foundation, 2010).
Listen to it here:
Dear Friends,
The hipster book (see the table of contents) has been receiving some nice notices, as well as angry denunciations, all across the land—and in other lands too (England, Canada, Norway, Germany, South Africa). Mark Greif's essay on the white hipster was excerpted in New York magazine, also to much consternation and argument.
We've managed to get the book into some of the better independent bookstores, but there are fewer and fewer of these, and larger distributors have declined to take us on. So we need your help! If you know of a great bookstore that doesn't carry the book, or a great coffee shop in your town that only has a B&N in it, or a clothing store, or frankly any other kind of store—or even if you want to become your own independent one-person bookstore, walking around town with the hipster book and selling it to people on the streets, Mark Twain-like—please write to us us and we'll figure something out.
Sincerely, and with thanks as always,
The Editors

I use this rope nearly every day, its a great speed rope, and should be part of everybody's cardio routine. Perfect for any style of skipping, double unders, criss cross or sprinting.
