Couldn't agree more about communication being one of the most important if not the most important skills to have in any web profession.
There are so many different types of people, skill sets and ways of communicating on the web that things can fall apart very quickly.
No matter what you are (designer, developer, writer, engineer, etc.. ), being able to communicate to others under this umbrella of "Web Professional" is imperative.
Carl Peterson said on 30 March 2009 at 12:16 pm:
Holy smokes, you did that entire interview in one breath. Talk about communication skills! Outstanding!
Mike Rivera said on 30 March 2009 at 12:35 pm:
I'd love to listen to the interview, but editing out all the dead air and uh's is just… weird and definitely hard to sit through.
Billee D. said on 30 March 2009 at 12:38 pm:
The interviews are so chopped up that it sounds kind of like a robot speaking (soundbite extravaganza), but great advice nonetheless. Thanks Jeffrey!
Gail D. said on 30 March 2009 at 2:55 pm:
A bit? It is un-listen-able. Likeadesignwithnowhitespace. I tried leaving a comment on their site, but no way to do it without registering — you should let them know.
Bill Cullifer said on 31 March 2009 at 8:23 pm:
Bill Cullifer here with WebProfessional.org. I agree that the editing of the interview with Jeffrey was a bit aggressive. In fact, poorly done on my part I'd say. For the record, the edits had less to do with lessening the timing of the podcast and more to do with the "pops and hisses" of the recording. That said, no more excuses and as an FYI, I've made another pass at the post and just uploaded the new flv and mp3 now. Its beer thirty here in California and I'm heading on over to e bay to trade in my IRiver on a better model. :–)
Carl Franke said on 2 April 2009 at 9:40 am:
A profession's community always "being there" for each other is definitely a rarity. Very good point that is easily overlooked. When I search online about how to do something in particular with web development, I almost take it for granted that someone out there has the answer or will get me on the right track soon.

Signs of pessimism in Washington, over Congress' inability to reach a deficit reduction agreement in the next seven days, includes this from Politico.com:
Supercommittee co-chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), speaking bluntly to a closed House Republican meeting Tuesday said any deal that the panel produces will either be an "abject [failure] or a 'kiss your sister agreement.'"
One assumes that [failure] is something unprintable. On the other hand, green sprigs of hope include the decision by U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., to release a 37-page report this week critical of government subsidies for wealthy Americans.
He called it "Subsidies of the Rich and Famous." From the Associated Press:
The report found that in an average year, those earning $1 million or more each year benefit from tax breaks and federal grant programs totaling $30 billion. His report noted that in tax year 2009, nearly 1,500 millionaires paid no federal income tax.

A new administrator for the Buckner Children and Family Services in Lufkin has been named.
Marisa Phillips will be taking over the operations of the program from Judy Morgan, who is not the Regional Director for East Texas. Phillips will be in charge of directing families on how to be self-sufficient while also offering services like foster care and adoption.
Phillips says she hopes she can live up to the expectations of her peers.
"I think just to live up to the kinds of service that we provided to this point to continue to provide excellent service to our residents and to look to ways to expand and develop those to meet the needs to more people in our community," Phillips said.
Buckner is partnered with Angelina College and the Women's Shelter of East Texas. The program allows students with families to live at its duplexes if they are 18 years old, and have a 2.0 minimum GPA. They also have to make a specific income.

Okay, I'm not one to brag (well, not much!) but this dish has become sort of a signature dish for me. If there's a holiday, special occasion, potluck, or any type of summer gathering, I'm usually asked to make this Frutti di Mare on the grill. It is, actually, a recipe that my friend, Caitlin, shared with me years ago. She, too, is constantly asked to make it.
It is a perfect dish for entertaining because the entire thing can be prepped ahead of time, covered with tin foil and kept in an aluminum pan in the fridge. When the guests arrive, the entire pan goes onto the grill. After 15-20 minutes, the mussels and clams open and the shrimp turn nice and pink. The juices from the seafood, along with the wine, olive oil, grape tomatoes and herbs form a wonderful broth, so don't forget the bread.
I made it last Father's Day (in fact, I make it every Father's Day) and, just as it came off of the grill, my father in law received a call on his cell phone. He stepped away to take the call and, by the time he returned 10 minutes later, there was nothing left. Two pounds of mussels, two pounds of clams, 16 jumbo shrimp and a loaf of Italian bread - gone! This year, he made sure not to stray too far from the table until after the Frutti di Mare was served.
I love to serve it on its own, as an appetizer. Caitlin loves to serve it as a main course, over linguini (the broth makes an incredible sauce). Whichever way you choose to make it, be prepared - you will be asked to make it again and again. But you will also earn major bragging rights.
Frutti di Mare on the Grill
2 lbs. mussels, cleaned
2 lbs. clams, cleaned
16-24 jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/3 c. olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 shallots, sliced thinly
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 lemons, sliced
1 Tbsp. salt
ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped basil
Preheat the grill until hot.
Place seafood in a large, aluminum pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine, shallots, salt and pepper. Pour over the seafood. Top seafood with the grape tomatoes, lemon slices and fresh herbs, then cover with aluminum foil. Place the pan onto the grill and allow to cook for approximately 15-20 minutes (or until the mussels and clams open and the shrimp turn pink), stirring occasionally. Remove pan from grill and serve.

The bottom line of the whole discussion is this: If you eliminate the subsidy or raise taxes on the oil companies, they will merely raise the price of their products. Very basic stuff here. Guess who pays.
If taxes or reduction in subsidy decreases profit by say 7%, the companies raise prices by a minimum of 10%. That covers the reduction in their % profit plus allows for additional tax on additional profit.
As a separate issue, I make more from my oil dividends than all my energy bills and any increases in food/all other products combined. I also pay tax on my dividends (money already taxed as profit by the gov). I'm good with oil company profits.

The Tallest Hotel in North America is Now Open
As we mentioned in our Master List of Worldwide Openings this morning, New York City is now home to the tallest hotel in North America. So which hotel owns this distinction? The "two-pack" Courtyard By Marriott and Residence Inn Central Park which just opened a few hours ago at 1717 Broadway and 54th.
Measurement-wise the new hotel stands at 752 feet, 9 inches and without office or residential space attached, the hotel has grabbed the "Tallest Hotel" prize.
For guests staying at the hotel, they will have 68-floors of either Courtyard by Marriott or Residence Inn guest rooms and amenities to choose from. Courtyard has about 378 rooms on floors 6-33 (with those cool new room designs) while Residence Inn has 261 suites on floors 37-65. Check out the view from one of the Courtyard rooms. On the 35th floor is a fitness center floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor sundeck for relaxing, stretching or as Marriott says, "seasonal sunning."
Yet what has us more excited than the fact that Marriott has stuck two of its brands together in a giant hotel overlooking Central Park and with views of the Hudson River is that the entire hotel has complimentary WiFi. But that's not all. Marriott says each room delivers "1.25 gigabytes of bandwidth with horizontal and vertical fiber optical cable network that allows for fast, extensive use on multiple devices at one time." Yes, this is Marriott saying that.
We're hoping to get inside the massive new hotel soon but you can go experience it for yourself in person. Rates for tomorrow night start at $229 for the Courtyard and $249 for the Residence Inn.

National Defense Authorization Act passed by the Senate this week could allow the US military to detain American citizens indefinitely
"If the president thinks you are a terrorist, let him present charges and evidence to a judge," Libertarian Party Chair Mark Hinkle said in a statement Friday. "He has no authority to lock you up without any judicial review, just because he and Congress believe he should have unlimited power. That is the kind of power held by tyrants in totalitarian regimes. It has no place in the United States."
This is the same bill as we noted in our last post. Rand Paul wasn't able to kill the full thing, but he killed one of the nastier amendments in it, which would have allowed the U.S. to hold detainees even after they had been acquitted in a court of law.

Compass Assessment
What is COMPASS?
COMPASS is an assessment test given to all students before they start their programs. COMPASS tests students in mathematics and reading. The mathematics section will test students on operations with integers, operations with fractions, operations with decimals, exponents, square roots, radicals, ratios, proportions, percentages, and averages (mean, median, and mode). The reading section checks pre-start students in reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Why do we use COMPASS?
COMPASS is used to help us evaluate each individual's strengths and weaknesses. Based on the scores we can then recommend remediation tutoring to help the pre-start students brush up on some of their weak spots.

Your home should be safe and comforting, not a place that makes you sick. People can have air quality problems in any kind of home, new or old. The good news is that you can do something right now to improve your home's air quality.
Many things in your home can cause air quality problems. Learn more about these potential problems and how to solve them:
If you think that the air you breathe may be unhealthy, download the Lung Association's Healthy Home Audit to carefully diagnose your home's air quality problems.
Testing for indoor air contaminants is possible, though not usually necessary. For example, if you see visible mould, it needs to be cleaned up. You then need to correct the problem (leaky pipe, excess moisture, etc.) that caused the mould to grow in the first place. If you notice a musty or mouldy odour in your home, trace it to its source and deal with the problem there.
You should remove obvious sources of contaminants as soon as possible, unless "before and after" documentation is required for medical and legal reasons. Testing can then be performed, if necessary, to pinpoint any residual contaminants that may be contributing to ongoing health problems.
If you or others in the home are experiencing symptoms which you feel are caused by something inside your home, check out The Lung Association's Healthy Home Audit (PDF) or visit www.YourHealthyHome.ca, a website that takes you on a tour of a typical house and points out air quality trouble spots.
If you still can't find the sources of your symptoms, you may next want to consider air sampling by a qualified professional. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has a list of trained Indoor Air Investigators; call CMHC at 1-800-668-2642 to see if there is an investigator in your area. Or, check the yellow pages in your phone directory under 'Environmental Consultants' to see if indoor air quality services are available. Ask about the consultant's training. Inquire what they base their analysis on and if you will be provided with a written report. Ask for references and contact the Better Business Bureau.
Carpets, underpadding and adhesives are all part of your floor covering and may affect air quality indoors. Carpets may be a source of both chemical and biological pollution in your home. Carpets emit a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gases which are emitted at room temperature. One of these, 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PC) is primarily responsible for the odour associated with new carpet installation. Other VOCs detected in carpet emissions include styrene, toluene, formaldehyde, a variety of benzenes and many others. The cushion and adhesives are also sources of emissions. During the manufacturing process chemicals such as dyes, pesticides, fungicides, fire retardants and anti-stain coatings are added. These additives are frequently released into the air indoors.
Carpets also act as a "sink" for chemical and biologic irritants. In other words, they collect airborne pollutants and substances that may be spilled or tracked in from the outdoors. As well, studies have found that biologic irritants such as bacteria, mites and fungi are commonly found in carpets. Removing a carpet that has been in place for a long time can be a sobering experience, when we see and smell the pollutants in and under it.
The chemical emissions from carpets may be responsible for a variety of adverse health effects including eye, nose and throat irritations, allergy or flu-like symptoms, and fatigue. Often these effects occur during or immediately after the installation of carpets.
Allergic reactions may be the most common health problem associated with biologic irritants and carpet. These reactions can range from mildly uncomfortable to life threatening, as in a severe asthma attack. Some common signs and symptoms are a runny nose and sneezing, coughing, wheezing and difficulty in breathing, headache, fatigue and watery eyes. Little information exists about the possible long-term health effects of exposure to these chemical and biological contaminants.
Parents should avoid letting their babies and toddlers crawl on new or dirty carpets since they risk breathing in full doses of biological and chemical contaminants.
New Carpet Installation
Care of Old Carpets
Before installing a humidifier, buy a hygrometer (humidity measuring device) to measure your indoor humidity. You can buy a hygrometer at an electronic specialty store or a hardware store.
If the winter humidity is less than 30% Relative Humidity (R.H.), a humidifier may be helpful. There are a couple of things you should keep in mind, though:
When household humidity levels exceed 60% Relative Humidity, there is a danger of encouraging growth of dust mites and mould growth. Buy a hygrometer, a humidity measuring tool (available from electronic specialty stores or hardware stores), and measure exactly what humidity levels you are dealing with in various parts of the home.
In most parts of the country, it's a good idea to keep a dehumidifier in the basement and to run it, especially in hot and muggy weather. Insulating cold water pipes and toilet tanks will also help to avoid condensation and water dripping during a humid summer season.
Pesticides are chemical or biological substances used to destroy living things such as: insects (insecticides), plants (herbicides), termites (termicides), rodents (rodenticides) and fungi (fungicides). They are sold most commonly as sprays, liquids, sticks and powders.
Pesticides are a problem whenever they are used indoors. Besides their immediate toxicity, many pesticides stick around after their initial application. This means you continue to breathe them in long after they are applied. For example, chlordane, which was used for termite and carpenter ant control and is now banned, may last for over twenty years.
In some cases, people may be unaware that pesticides are being applied in their residence. Exposure to pesticides occurs through skin contact, by ingestion or by inhalation. They can enter your home in a variety of ways:
Pesticides are a concern because they cannot be adequately tested for long-term adverse health effects on humans. Nor can the mix of chemicals to which we are exposed or the varied responses of humans be replicated under laboratory conditions. It stands to reason that if pesticides can kill pests, then pesticides may also harm us. Pesticides are a broad category of complex chemicals which may cause many immediate and long term negative health effects. These include:
There are approximately 1,200 ingredients registered for use in pesticide formulations, some of which (e.g. lindane used in shampoo for head lice) are suspected carcinogens.
The best way to avoid indoor air pollution from pesticides is to not use them at all. The alternative is to implement an integrated pest-management program, with the most important element being prevention.
The Lung Association strongly advises against the use of pesticides. In situations where their use is out of your control, landlords are required to give seven days notice to enact regular repairs and twenty four hours notice to enter your premises for an inspection. Therefore, try to persuade the landlord ask for a pesticide-free treatment (such as glue traps) from the pest management company. If all else fails, and your apartment is to be sprayed:
Biological irritants are things that are, were once, or come from living organisms. Some common biological irritants are:
Biologic irritants contribute to poor indoor air quality and may be a major cause of days lost from work or school, and of doctor and hospital visits. Biologic irritants are often invisible and when airborne can be inhaled into your lungs. Some biologic irritants can even damage surfaces inside and outside your house.
Biologic irritants need two things to grow: nutrients and moisture. Around your home, sources of biologic irritants include:
Decreased ventilation may increase problems with biologic irritants around your home.
We are all exposed to biological irritants and have evolved to survive low exposures. Adverse health effects from biologic irritants depend on the type and amount of irritant and on individual sensitivities.
Allergic reactions may be the most common health problem associated with biological irritants. They are often related to animal dander (mostly from dogs and cats), dust mites and pollen. Reactions can range from mildly uncomfortable to life-threatening, as in a severe asthma attack.
Some common signs and symptoms of a reaction to a biologic agent include:
People with asthma are especially susceptible to allergic problems caused by biologic irritants. They have very sensitive airways that react to allergens and irritants, making breathing difficult.
Viruses and bacteria that cause disease are another kind of biologic irritant. Indoor air may contain germs that cause the flu, measles, chicken pox, tuberculosis and other diseases. Crowded homes with poor air circulation promote the spread of germs.
Toxic reactions are the least studied and least understood problems associated with biologic irritants. Some research suggests that toxins related to biologic irritants can damage a variety of organs and tissues in the body, including the liver, the central nervous system, the digestive tract and the immune system.
Before you give away the family pet or move, there are less drastic steps that can be taken to reduce potential problems. Proper cleaning and maintenance can help reduce problems with biologic irritants.
The following solutions will really help. People living with asthma or allergies may need to do these things and more:
If you find mould in your home, assess the damage. People can usually clean small and moderate amounts of mould themselves; larger amounts of mould should be removed by a professional. Follow these directions on how to clean up mould, from Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas that is produces as a result of incomplete burning of carbon-containing fuels. Many Canadians die every year and thousands of others become ill or need medical attention from carbon monoxide poisoning related to residential combustion appliances.
Any fuel-burning appliance that is not adequately vented and maintained can be a potential source of CO, including:
Carbon monoxide exposures especially affect unborn babies, infants and people with anemia or a history of respiratory or heart disease. Breathing in low levels of CO can cause fatigue and increase chest pain in people with chronic heart disease.
Breathing in higher levels of carbon monoxide causes flu-like symptoms such as:
At very high levels, carbon monoxide causes loss of consciousness and death.
Preventing carbon monoxide poisoning from exposure to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the home is possible by taking some simple steps:

Movable glass walls are among the latest design wonder. Monarch Movable Glass Walls a ground-breaking company aid home owners and architects to realize their dreams by blending elegance and contemporary design with nature. This works on the idea that when it is cold, there is this solid wall of superior custom glass doors and when it is warm they can be opened. These sliding glass wall systems are fixed on a low friction stainless steel rolling system to open up into the fresh outdoor environment. High-performance and custom-finish glass is used to manufacture the bi-folding doors. They are aesthetically designed to provide protection to homes and businesses. Your home will turn into an architectural marvel with movable glass walls.
Movable glass walls are perfect for all kinds of homes and businesses including waterfront property. This spectacular innovation is especially a boon for people with waterfront property as it insulates perfectly during winter and protects your home during tough weather. As it heats up and the sun comes out you can slide the glass walls and live close to the nature while enjoying the stunning panorama and incessant breeze. There is no need to have a property with a spectacular view to benefit from the moveable walls. If you live in a house with a garden or a condo you can enjoy this innovative luxury product. It is possible to open the balcony or any room to soak in the sun and feel the fresh air. Monarch and other such companies also offer incorporated motorized screen systems to keep away insects and pests during hot summer.

Good Questions: Painting the Coffee Table
A (not dumb!) question from K: "This might be a dumb question, but I have a coffee table that I am going to paint, but I have no idea whether I should paint it black or white. My bookshelves are white, the walls and sofa are grey, and I'll be putting down white-ish/grey, teal, and orange flor tiles as soon as I can afford it."
"Obvious pro for black is that it won't show dirt as easily, and a con against white is that there might be too much white around already (there's a white dining room table across the room, since it's just one big room split into living/dining areas).
Since I've just moved, I've obsessed about every detail for so long that I think I'm just out of ideas with this thing.
Thanks for any advice!
First of all - nice job so far in the new place. The storage looks well thought out, the colors are nice and that armchair is fantastic.
Not to complicate matters, but we might actually go for a color here instead of the black or white...we were thinking a buttery yellow OR lipstick red lacquer.
Here's why - a black seems like it would be heavy with the dark sofa and there is plenty of white going on already (especially when you factor in the white dining table that you say is just across the way).
The right color would energize and work with all the colors you have going on already - the sofa, light walls, white bookshelves and teal armchair - and would really make the (already nice looking) table into a showpiece. The colors suggested above also have a touch of a vintage flavor that compliments the armchair style.
All of that said, if color is out and the choice is really just black or white, we lean toward white...AT Design minds - weigh in here - what would you choose for K's paint project?

I bought an unfinished coffee table for my living room and it ended up being bigger in the space than I had anticipated, so I painted it black, which shrinks it a little, visually.
it's a lovely table. if it's solid wood, i wouldn't paint it. i wouldn't tile over hw floors, either. they're delightful. my favorite way to introduce color is through great rugs or accent walls. you can be bold but change it easily if you don't like it. i really like the colors janel posted.
I'd go for the red, too (lacquered, if possible). It will fit nicely with the grey of the sofa and walls and with the white library, too.
I really like the table as is. But if you must paint it, I agree that a color would be preferable to black or white. I don't really agree with light yellow or red though if the other colors in the room are going to be orange and teal. Maybe a red-orange? If it must be black or white, I would go with white. I think black would be too dark against that couch.
i have flor tiles in an addition with a cement slab floor and love them, but unless you're planning to do an area rug with them, i wouldn't spend the large amounts of cash for flor to cover up a beautiful hardwood floor.
that said, i'd go white or consider another color, as everyone else is saying. i don't like the butter yellow, but maybe something in the toned down red/orange family would be nice.
I showed the picture around at work, and folks said the same thing - I'm considering painting it orange, though I like the red idea as well - I think that would look amazing with the grey walls. (Though when I think of a black/grey, white, and red colour scheme I think of Claudia from The Babysitter's Club...)
KristinaXI -- I knew the black/white/red color combo reminded me of books from my childhood, but I couldn't remember if it was Babysitter's Club or Sleepover Friends! Good call on that one :)
I vote for orange as well.
Question from the peanut gallery: Where did you get your sofa? Thanks ...
After reading the post, and the mentioning of the soon to be tiled floor, the first thing that came to my mind was pick a color that wasn't already in the room. The coffee table is the clear center of the space, why not make it stand out more. So the first color I thought of was a intense red. Which was already mentioned in the first comment. So I'd go that way if it was me.
@ mascarah: Not tiles (like ceramic tiles) but carpet tiles - I wouldn't ever tile over hardwood, ever!
And I only want to get enough for a 5x8ish rug type look - the room is a huge one, separated into living on that side, and dining on the other, so I want to visually...separate them. Isolate them. What have you.
The coffee table seems to be solid wood, but it was lacquered or varnished in the worst putty-color ever, which you can't really tell from the picture. It's an awesome piece, but the color as is (along with stains and chips, etc.) is pretty horrible.
And I got the sofa off craigslist, though it's the 80' Lenox sofa from Room & Board.
Orange would be really nice! Sounds like you already have decided what Flor pattern. You could pick a Flor tile with a bit of orange to help tie it all in. Even as a border-cut the tiles in half to make a slimmer border.
I also like the yellow. The couch looks a bit brown to me, but maybe that's my computer.
KristinaXI-- I love this colors in this room, especially your beautiful grey walls. I've been thinking about painting my bedroom grey for months, and you just inspired me to finally do it. May I ask what paint color you used?
As for your table, I think it would be stunning done up in faux bois. I'm thinking dark, large-scale "grain" painted on with stain, like this: http://www.meublepeint.com/images/fauxbois5.gif
Though I'll admit this option would be a bit more involved than a simple paint job :)
I really like it as is - if anything, I'd stain it to match the wood on your beautiful chair.
I used Pratt & Lambert's Carolina Gull and got freaked when I first painted it on, but it dries lighter, which surprised me. (Since that's not normally the case, right?) I love it, though.
The couch is grey - the colours look weird in this photo because the light is on.
I'm with Sasha on this one - if you have to paint it, I'd go with a color (like the red-orange, which has some Pop! to it) over black or white. But if you're dead-set to go with either black or white, then I'd go white.
(first choice being not to paint it at all though.)
I like it unpainted. Maybe some pastewax could buff it up?
stain the top (strip it if it has a finish already) a deep mahogny color so you can see the grain and paint the legs black. either way, try mixing two shades, I think it will make it more interesting.
I think you're at risk of too many colors, too busy of a look. The bookshelves are great, but they call for a less cluttered living room to keep it from becoming a mishmash. I would try to match the color of the table to the wood arms of the chair, as Becky suggested, or preferably vice-versa, although admittedly that would be much more difficult. If you really want to paint, match the white trim, or the dark sofa. With the new rug and the chair and the books you've got a lot of color going on. I really like it!
p.s. I've been looking at that Lenox sofa on R&B's website, but I'm afraid to buy before I try. How comfortable is it? I know it's not pillow-like, but is it easy to sit in? I admired the Camden from Crate and Barrel until I tried it. It was quite stiff and uncomfortable. Do you like it?
I would sand it down and stain it to match the wood of the fabby green chair.
If you insist on painting it then Hermes Orange would be stunning.

Great concert venue and beautiful views
I have attended many outdoor concert events at this venue and it's pretty incredible. The hike up to the tipi and views from there are awesome. Also the views of the cliffs across the road are inspiring. I haven't stayed in the house but have been inside and it is very quaint and cozy. It's 4 miles to the boat launch in Lincoln with a great lake to boat or swim on with miles and miles of beaches. And regular visitors are the big horn sheep that live in and around Sterling Valley. Pretty cool to come upon along the road or roaming in the cliffs.
Great place to Vacation!!!
I was amazed at how clean and comfortable this place was. The master bedroom is a dream come true! And, the view from the deck overlooking the water was so beautiful, morning and night, most especially at night as the sun was setting. This was a great place to go on our vacation. Whether you like fishing, water sports or the casino, everyone had a chance to do their own thing and have fun. And, isn't that what a vacation is all about. The weather was wonderful and we had so much fun on the water. I even "almost" caught a fish!! Well, I had it on my hook, it just happened to jump off before I got it to the boat. But, even that was fun! We had such a terrific week. Swimming, fishing, boating and just a "bit" of gambling. I couldn't think of a better place to spend my next vacation. I'll definitely be coming back again!

Widow's Pension in Northern Ireland is payable to childless widows aged 45 or over when their husband died. This pension is payable to widows whose late husband died before 9/4/2001. Widow's Pension is also payable to widows with children when their Widowed Mother's Allowance ends. There are various rates of pension payable.
A woman can get Widow's Pension if her late husband met the National Insurance Contribution conditions and either:
- she was 45 or over when her husband died and he died before 9/4/2001 and she does not get Widowed Mother's Allowance; or
- she is 45 or over when her Widowed Mother's Allowance ends.
A woman cannot get Widow's Pension:
- if she is divorced from her husband; or
- if she remarries; or
- while she is living with a man as his wife without being legally married to him; or
- while she is in prison or held in legal custody.
Widow's Pension is made up of:
- a basic pension which is related to the widow's age when she was widowed or when Widowed Mother's allowance ends; and
- a variable earnings-related additional state pension which is based on the late husband's contribution record paid on his earnings from April 1978.
Providing her late husband has made sufficient National Insurance Contributions, a woman who is aged 55 or over when she is widowed prior to 9/4/2001, or when her Widowed Mother's Allowance ends, will get the full rate of basic pension. If she is under 55 she will get less than the full rate. If she is between 45 and 54 she will qualify for a percentage of the full rate. This percentage is fixed and does not increase with each birthday.

Crying about it on Twitter is rather pathetic, really. Some of the comments are well thought-out and articulately written. To dismiss them all out of hand in 140 characters (or less!) shows a lack of respect.
If he's so annoyed about it, he should debate it like an adult in the comments section instead of calling them cunts on Twitter.

Classy. I liked the part where he hoisted the flag of crusading against stereotypes, misogyny and perhaps by egalitarian extension misandry, then lamented all the man-whiteys whinging. It can only be dumb man-whiteys who object to this illogical rubbish.

Cuddlesome was a 2008 audio drama starring the Fifth Doctor. A remake of an Audio Visuals story of the same title, it was released on an audio CD included with Doctor Who Magazine issue 393. It was re-released as free content on the Big Finish Podcast on 3 August 2011, and was put on Big Finish's Soundcloud in 2012.
Publisher's summary Edit
Do you remember the '80s? The Rubik's cube... Duran Duran ... deelyboppers ... and the Cuddlesomes — pink vampire hamsters, the must-have toy of twenty-three Christmases ago.
For so long now, the Cuddlesomes have been forgotten, lying in attics and junk shops. But now they're waking up. And they want to give us all a cuddle. A long, slow, deadly cuddle...
Landing in an England gripped by a strange new plague, the Doctor is soon on the Cuddlesomes' trail. But the toys are just part of a twisted plan to wipe out a whole generation...
Full audio Edit
Plot Edit
to be added
Cast Edit
- The Doctor - Peter Davison
- Angela Wisher - Roberta Taylor
- Ronald Turvey - Timothy West
- The Tinghus - David Troughton
- John Dixon/New Cuddlesomes - Matthew Noble
- Miranda Evenden/Cuddlesomes/Dr. Cooper/Vehicle - Kate Brown
- Newsreader - Nicholas Briggs
References Edit
- The Inland Revenue had Turvey arrested on charges of tax fraud.
- The Doctor was trying to land in Brighton in 1818.
- The new Cuddlesomes use jargon and catchphrases similar to those associated with the cartoon character of Bart Simpson from The Simpsons.
- The Doctor learned how to tackle from William Webb Ellis.
- The Doctor once had a bear, but he had to release it when it started eating the furniture.
Notes Edit
- This story was originally produced as an unofficial Audio Visuals production, with Nicholas Briggs as the Doctor. Briggs provides the voice of a newsreader in the remake.
- Angela Wisher is named as a tribute to the late Michael Wisher, who played Ronald Turvey in the original Audio Visuals version of Cuddlesome. He is best known for originating the role of Davros, the creator of the Daleks, in TV: Genesis of the Daleks.
- The story includes a reference to eBay. The Doctor also makes use of the early 1990s catchphrase "hammer time." At one point, he also insists on driving a woman's car after she has had too much to drink, one of the few occasions since the Fourth Doctor gave up Bessie (TV: Robot) that the Doctor has driven a vehicle.
- Cuddlesome was released on a free CD offered with Doctor Who Magazine #393, along with Director's cut of Part One of The Mutant Phase. Davison was featured on the cover of the magazine, which included coverage of his appearance in the Time Crash mini-episode.
Continuity Edit
- The Doctor talks about building a new sonic screwdriver after his previous one was destroyed by the Terileptil leader in September 1666. (TV: The Visitation) However, he would not do so until his seventh incarnation. (AUDIO: The Dark Husband, TV: Doctor Who)

I'm a 26-year-old gender fabulous lesbian with a handsome husbando. I like all sorts of things, but consider the Protomen and art dolls/toy monsters to be my enduring fandoms.
The features were meant to remind him of Emily, but they didn't, not really. The face had her expressive mouth, but it was locked in a stoic line as he circled his finest creation, his own son. The hair had flecks of coppery red, but it looked light brown from anywhere farther off than a few feet; the shape of the eyes was right, but he couldn't quite bring himself to give them her color, and had chosen a warm orange instead. Emily had been tall, but the frame was more reminiscent of Tom himself, below average in height and sturdy in build. He had meant the boy to be their son, but he wasn't quite there yet. All in all, though, his shining prototype could only be called a success as the eyes opened of their own accord for the first time, the aperture pupils expanding and contracting as the freshly-wired and fully independent mind adjusted to its own sensory input systems.
He wondered if he had been right to go ahead with the blueprints, once the people of his dear City had calmed. The building of this shining child had taken much longer than he'd hoped, but perfection did require patience. At conception, the boy had been meant to lead an army, to act as the head of his Father's peacekeeping forces so Tom wouldn't have to, but he had been robbed of that purpose before he drew the first breath that pulled cool air in to regulate his circuit temperatures by the unexpected weakness of the citizens. There was no need for an army any more. He would have to find other diversions for his son, for unlike the army itself he could not be switched off and stored away until he was needed again. Once activated, the genuine AI, the first programming of its kind, took over and he became a person in his own right. In many ways, Tom thought, he was a better person than most of the humans in the city below.
The pupils found a balance, and the head turned toward his Father. Tom had hoped to find more of Emily's kind heart in the boy once he was active, some hint of the hope and joy he had long since lost, but no such luck. A slight frown creased his brow, questioning the world around him. He had no idea how right he was to wonder just what kind of world he had been brought into.
"Welcome to life, my son."
Proto, where did that high school yearbook photo come from.
You did not go to high school.
You went to Wily's school of torture and despair.
…..And came out like this.
The first breath of night air was the light at the end of a long walk in darkness. It was freedom, filling his lungs and spreading out from them into the rest of his body until he could feel the cool, slightly damp tingle of it right down to his fingertips. He felt invigorated and suddenly alive, the heady taste of freedom like a jolt of raw power to his circuits and making him want to run and shout and never look back regardless of the consequences. It was the first time he'd been permitted to leave the tower without an escort.
Rules were still in place; Wily had been very clear about the things that would get his new taste of independence revoked. Despite the sudden spike of wild desire to throw all of that away and just go, he wasn't quite willing to risk the unknown that would follow getting away with it—or being caught. He was armed and armored, in case things got rough in the slums he was bound to head for despite their complete lack of appeal, and he would be observed. That was the kind of limitation he could easily come to terms with—wasn't he observed already, every hour of every day? Wily kept him as close as a dog at heel, and even out of his direct sight the cameras were everywhere. At least with that as a leash he was allowed outside.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son just started DCS and loves it. He is constantly engaged, which is what it's really about.
Discovery Charter School is a parent participation school in which teachers, parents, and students work together to provide a rich learning environment. The teachers at DCS enhance student learning by differentiating the curriculum so that students who are ready can move ahead without leaving other students behind. Learning takes place not only in the classroom setting but also through many field trips during the year. These field trips allow students to apply what they've learned in the classroom to their larger community as a whole. My daughter is excited about going to school every day. DCS allows her to express what she's learned in a variety of ways. DCS's developmental approach to learning promotes meaningful learning and we could not be happier to be a part of this community!
It providing good education for childern
Great teachers, great kids, and parent participation all make for an effective and strong learning environment.
Parent envolment is apreciated. Kids are respectful and kind to each other.
I have 4 children there now. The amount of attention paid to the students is amazing and no one gets left behind. I have everything from the almost perfect student to the kid struggling to get it done. The communication at this school is the key. I have seen a 180 in attitude with my kids who didn't like to be at school. Now, for all of my kids, there is no place they would rather be!!! Being able to be a part of the kids learning and knowing my wife is helping out there almost every day. It's spectaculat!!!
provide ability to sign up for after school activities that keep them interested in school and the staff diplay the interest and ability to deal with sprecal needs children
I love the amount of parent participation (albeit some of it required). I love that it is developmentally based vs. academically based yet still scores great on standardized test. I like how they put the child first.
Discovery Charter School is one of those rare places that really does treat each child as individuals and helps cater the learning environment to helping ensure that every child thrives. Hands on learning, mandatory weekly classroom participation by parents, field trips and smaller classes enables DCS to do this.
Kids develop a love of learning by being able to learn at their own pace. Also, the field trips!
Safe, respectful and accepting community for my middle schooler, excellent for building self esteem and learning!
Unbelievable sense of community, small classes, dedicated teachers, diverse culturally, diverse learners, the students are 'known', nurtured, and leave with a knowledge of themselves as learners, knowing they have been supported and stretched to 'discover' academically as well as socially and emotionally.
This school is a community. Everyone is envolved. Small class size is a bonus. The education is steller.
At Discovery Charter school, a K-8 school, through parent partcipation (2hrs/wk/child), our children have the opportunity to explore a variety of avenues of learning that are not available in standard schools.
Great parent participation school - striving to make sure every child learns
Monthly workshops on how parents and school can serve their children best, developmental school, hands-on, daily enrichments offered after school, constant focus on service learning, and individualized education for each child!
My friends daughter goes to this school and she is always speaking highly of the school and how good the staff is.
I'm new to the school but so excited that I found a place where they emphasize teaching students to THINK instead of teaching them what to think.
Great teacher and parents involvement help keep the children and their learning a top priority.
Wonderful developmental programs with parent participation. My kids really love this school.

If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.

My son, Michael is a gifted musician and a Renaissance man. He is tall and thin and completely photogenic. He also is very laid-back and totally indulged me while I was saying, "Okay, now sit down. Now stick the guitar between your legs and hold it with one hand. Now stand up and wedge yourself in that corner". He didn't come with a love button but he should have.

Salé Airport or Rabat-Salé Airport (IATA: RBA, ICAO: GMME) is an airport serving Rabat, the capital city of Morocco, and also the capital of the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer region. It is a joint use public and military airport, also known as the First Royal Air Force Base. The airport is located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) east-northeast of Rabat and about 90 km (56 mi) northeast of Casablanca. During World War II, the airport was used as a military airfield by the United States Army Air Forces Twelfth Air Force during the North African campaign. The 319th Bombardment Group flew B-26 Marauders from the airfield between 25 Apr - 1 Jun 1943.
After the Americans moved out their active units in mid-1943, the airport was used as a stopover and landing field for Air Transport Command aircraft on the Casablanca-Algiers transport route. When the war ended, control of the airfield was returned to civil authorities.

The Muslim American Society, which federal prosecutors confirm was "founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America," is boasting on its new website of how it's been embraced by the U.S. government and major interfaith groups. This is shocking, especially since the reaction of MAS to Bin Laden's death was to defend his goal of creating an Islamic state in Afghanistan.
The renovated MAS website emphasizes its work with law enforcement, the federal government, members of Congress, charities and interfaith organizations. Unlike its previous website, it does not try to address questions about its links to the Muslim Brotherhood and beliefs about the Caliphate and sharia in America.
There is little dispute that MAS is a Muslim Brotherhood entity. AChicago Tribune investigation in 2004 confirmed it, as did senior U.S. Muslim Brotherhood operative Abdurrahman Alamoudi after he was convicted on terrorism-related charges. In 2012, he testified, "Everyone knows that MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood."
In 2008, federal prosecutors said in a court filing that "MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America." The prosecutors also accused MAS and a related organization, theCouncil on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), of being deceptive. They said the groups "omit reference to a shared background that limits their membership to those of a particular political bent, and undercuts their credibility."
Yet, somehow the MAS is treated well by the U.S. government. Its website claims it has even received taxpayer money by winning a federal grant through the President's Faith Based Initiative Program.
In January 2010, MAS joined a group of Muslim organizations (including the Islamic Society of North America, another Brotherhood entity) in meeting with Department of Homeland Security officials, including then-Secretary Janet Napolitano.

So I was bored, and up late again. I love the theme for "Fi" from Skyward Sword, and I was trying to decide what to do with it.
This is just a fun little sorrowful song, done in the style of a live woman's choir.
I hope you like it. Just something to treat your ears to ^_^
Please forgive the MASSIVE amount of gain on this piece; I had to use my backup equipment again. And layering over 11 parts on top of each other will be audible!
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 16, 2013
I like how you worry in your descriptions. Silly, these pieces are from you, so, honestly they won't be bad. Even with older equipment. Massive amount of gain that you made work.
Lol well I appreciate having a forgiving audience ^_^
