If it's been a while since you frequented your local library, forget the nostalgic, musty mausoleum of days of old. Think fun, vibrant hub of community activities... but most of all think TIGHTARSE!You can access wifi, books, e-books, music downloads, toys, movies, newspapers and loads more.There is also a fantastic social side of your local library. If you find you are spending a lot of time just hanging out at home with the kids, venture up to your local library and try out story time, rhyme time or any of the other activities that will be on offer. I have made some firm friends, as have the kids, at our library. It's a great TIGHTARSE alternative for school holiday activities too.Make the most of Kidspot's National Library Guide and find a library near you!
Do you use your local library? What services do you make the most of? How much does it cost? Share your TIGHTARSE library experiences with us.
I love the library. We have family trips there and the kids love the books and the tables and chairs. There are also great toddler and preschooler times when they have stories and craft.
I have also taken to going through the catalogues and requesting the books I would like to read. It is only a $1 per book and if you get in quick you can get them new. I am about to request the new Tara Moss novel and it hasn't been released yet. I am saving a fortune.
Recently I have started to use the library alot as I don't have a computer at home anymore. We are at the library right now!! You can use up to two hours on the internet each day which is plently for me. We usually only spend about 30mins here. We walk to the library so not having a computer at home has been a great way to get us out of the house and mingling in community activities. There are lots of services available at the library such as storytime, holiday activities and teen activities which I am sure we will join in on in time.
Not happy with my local public library. I had accidently left my borrowing card at another library in my area (it was noted on their computer system and was being sent to the library closer to my home). But when I tried to borrow books for my 3 year old son the librarian said I wasn't allowed because I didn't have my card. She refused my driver's licence and could even see on the computer system that I was a member with no fines etc. I walked away very angry ready to send a letter of complaint about this when I watched a man walk up and borrowing several books after telling them he had left his wallet in the car and had no ID. What the?????? Well I stood my ground and the librarian finally let me borrow saying "I will let you just this once". So annoyed. Small things like this can ruin an already tired mum's day just trying to enrich a little boys imagination and creativity with stories and improve his language and reading skills. Vent over!!!!! Otherwise love my library and they offer some great group activies such as Wiggle and Giggle for babies and Storytime for toddlers. Yes The free WiFi is great.
I leant how to use computers through the library when they were running classes for oldies and it didn't cost a thing! My local library seem to have a lot of activities for seniors as well as kids which is great for me.
I love the library. We recently rediscovered it when winter came along.
I don't think there is anything tight about it.
I grew up going there regularly. Way before the internet, os I want my kids to be able to enjoy it as well.
We go every couple of weeks. They also have toys around the place so my toddler can be amused.
They make it cosy with little couches for story time. They also do some fun school hols fun activities.

Pole Dancing
Martha showcases some unique forms of exercise; Sheila Kelley and Gerri Kyhill demonstrate pole-dancing moves that promote weight loss.
An empowering pole-dancing exercise program designed by actress Sheila Kelley, S Factor combines ballet, yoga, and striptease to nurture a woman's natural shape while promoting health and confidence. These popular classes contain a mixture of stretching, strengthening, and abdominal and cardio movements to sculpt and tone the entire body; a collection of polework designed for all levels of athletic ability; and a selection of liberating striptease movements that prompt students to embrace their sensual sides.
Involving no nudity, S Factor classes are held in studios without mirrors to encourage women to focus on how they feel rather than how they look. In addition to increasing flexibility and producing strong, elongated muscles, this fun alternative to traditional exercise progresses through seven levels of study, culminating in advanced-level moves around the pole.
Also Try: Forza Martial Arts, Kangoo Jumps, Physique 57
I think its important to find exercise that you enjoy. It makes it easier to stick with. Pole dancing is the only exercise I have been able to stick with, I'm actually sad when I miss it. Keep trying different things until you find something you like.
http://www.wikipole.org/ This website has a listing of pole studios around the world. Try google as well in case the studio nearby isnt listed.Reply
Hello, actually I attend punk rope class in New York City so to answer the previous poster's question, visit their website at http://punkrope.com ! And yes, I can attest that the class is AWESOME! Most fun workout ever and has helped me lose a ton of weight.Reply
Hi, I saw the show that featured the pole-dancing exercise. However, I'm actually trying to find some information about Punkrope. Martha Stewart also introduced this exercise program in today's show. People seemed to have a lot of fun in the Punkrope class. Can you add an article with more information about Punkrope? Thanks, DoreenReply

No chav cake for Fry-up
At this week's filming of BBC2 quiz show QI host Stephen Fry revealed he'd never heard of famous bakery Greggs.
"What's that? What are you talking about?" he asked when panellist Jimmy Carr joked about its ad campaign.
Carr explained that Greggs is "a chav palace where they run out of the best cakes by 4.30 every day". Fry sighed: "You move in a different world, Jimmy."
Bless! Stephen should definately go there, the pasties taste scrumptious X-D

When you go out to eat, the last thing you expect is to have a pic snapped of your receipt, displaying how much you left the server for a tip, and accompanied by a nasty, perhaps even racist remark. But it almost seems like we shouldn't be so surprised if/when that does happen, because angry waiters are taking to Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit with complaints much more often.
Consider what just happened on the social networking sites of a Delaware restaurant called Padi. Photos of "bad tippers" and their receipts were uploaded alongside offensive and racist captions. Images appeared on manager Aaaron Kwan's Instagram account and the restaurant's Facebook page, which called certain patrons out with vile descriptions.
For instance, there was a photo of a bill for $53.80 for a customer with a Jewish surname, who had tipped $5.20 -- less than 10 percent. The photo appeared on the Instagram account, fumanchu85, alongside the message: 'What do you expect from a last name like that? #cheap #jew'". In a similar message, when a diner with a $45.90 bill paid a $6.10 tip, the poster wrote: "With a last name like that, I don't think you will ever expect a GOOD tip. #cheap #jerk #indian.'" Wowwww. What the hell?!
Kwan denies taking the pics or writing the images and has blamed other employees for accessing the social media sites under his name. Apparently, he keeps his iPad out and some distraught waiter snagged it to do this.
Hmmmm, it's completely possible, I guess. Either way it is totally unacceptable. I couldn't imagine wanting to return to a restaurant like this, worrying that I could be victimized in the same way these other patrons already have been. Still, my heart goes out to a restaurant that suffers an incident like this because they have one employee gone attention-seeking mad. It's hard to say exactly how you draw the line as a diner. But there's no doubt this restaurant is going to have to bend over backwards to show they're sorry for the completely offensive incident.
What would you do if a similar incident happened at a restaurant you were a patron of?
There is such a simple cure for this extraordinarily bad behavior. All restaurant owners have to do is step up and be responsible, and actually pay their wait staff a fair wage. I continue to fail to understand why they are exempt from Minimum Wage Laws, and why it is considered to be the patrons' responsibility to make up the Wait Staff's wages. If the process of "required" tipping was eliminated, if servers were paid a normal wage, this wouldn't be an issue.
And I know that prices would increase. But if I'm expected to pay 20% on top of my bill directly to my server, what's the difference if the prices are jacked up 20%? It's the same thing.
I wouldn't do anything. I'd still eat there, and I'd make sure I wasn't a cheap bastard, and tip appropriately.

question about jailbrake backups
Hi everyone
I'm new to the jail break world. Used evasi0n to jailbreak my iPhone 5 and loving it so far. My question is
Ģ do I continue backing up my iPhone through iTunes?
Ģ will restoring from any backup get rid of the jailbreak?
Ģ does restoring from a backup made after jail breaking have any effect on the phone?
Thanks a lot

Re: question about jailbrake backups
1. yes you continue to back your phone through iTunes or iCloud just like normal
2. yes if you restore your phone it will remove the jailbreak, a restore is a two part process even though they use the same name for the process. First you restore or reload the OS which is what gets rid of the Jailbreak then you're prompted if you want to restore from your backup.
3. This is a hard question to answer, personally I don't see any problems but others will tell you that it will lead to corruption and stability issues. I have been permanently JBen for the last 5 years and I've restored my iPhones many, many times and had no issues whatsoever but every person is different. Every Jailbreak is different because different people load up different tweaks and apps so it's really hard to give you a definite answer on this one.can't upgrade via iTunes check this thread http://forum.tipb.com/jailbreak-unlo...ml#post1717460

question about jailbrake backups
The first part of your question was already answered.
As for the restore back after a jailbreak, it has never been an issue for me. There will be some remnants left when you restore but it should not be so bad as long as you did not have 1000's of tweaks installed.

Filipino-born artist Noel Cruz restyles dolls into gorgeous echoes of famous people and characters. His skill has brought him great acclaim - the Princess Diana doll above sold for over $1,600 in March!
This man has a real talent.
There are two kinds of smart. The by-the-book smart and the Street smart; The latter can make it through life even without finishing proper education and takes risks because they have nothing to lose, while the former can't. The by-the-book-smart may be educational achievers, cumlaudes and whatnot, but they do not necessarily take risks and can't do things from square one because of a few things:
1. They follow a certain code; because of their achievements, they refuse to work from the bottom and work their way up.
2. Their pride is stronger than an atomic bomb.
3. They live their lives through peoples expectations.
4. They are in fear of failing so when they fail, they break down.
I'm not saying that education isn't important, heck it's the foundation of what you become in the future. Get educated as soon as you can. But do not end up as someone who has got it all but lacks street smarts. Be both if possible. Be flexible. This society, this world, is a war-zone. Often times, those who have failed again and again during the course of their life make the right decisions. Take risks. Grab opportunities. Talk to people. Have an adventure.

Now I know why Twitter is great. There, you can scream your sickest rant ever using 160 characters and run away innocent because after 5 minutes, your words will be buried by hundreds of tweets and not a single feeling of guilt or remorse will remain in your heart. The anonimity and ephemeral nature of Twitter is appealing to people because Facebook, on the opposite end, requires too much filtering, face-saving and gate-keeping in making a sensible post. If your FB post doesn't make sense, people will judge you even if you don't need their judgment in the first place. On Twitter, you can throw words like missiles and let them explode and people are so nonchalant about it. On FB, even a single sad face needs an essay of explaining from friends. Hahahahaha
If you are a one-liner, silent type, Twitter is for you. But if you are an attention-seeker, FB and Instragram would work best.
Hahaha >:)))))

Ricky Ponting batted for the entire day in his final first-class innings to finish on 169 not out and help Surrey earn a draw against Nottinghamshire.
The former Australia captain batted sensibly to ensure his side, who had been in a precarious position, could declare on 395-8 to save the match.

At the close, every Notts player shook his hand as he left the field.

December 23, 2009: Recall of Nasal Swine Flu Vaccine
Recall Reason
Drugmaker MedImmune has recalled about 4.6 million doses of the nasal swine flu vaccine because they appear to lose potency over time. Of the recalled doses, the majority has already been administered, says the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Federal officials say the doses were strong enough when used in October and November.
What Should Parents Do?
The FDA does not expect the decreased potency to affect the vaccine's protection against the virus, and is not recommending revaccination. This is the second recall of swine flu vaccines due to potency this month.

The 411: Karen Walker
Effortless. It's a word that's thrown around a lot in style circles, but in New Zealand designer Karen Walker's case, it has always fit. Walker launched her eponymous womenswear line in 2002 and over the course of the past decade or so has expanded into jewelry, eyewear, makeup (via collaborations with Clinique and Boots), a less spendy diffusion line called Hi There (available in the U.S. at your local Anthropologie), and even, rather amazingly, house paint (we're particularly fond of Smoky Green and Fuscous Grey shades). But what Walker remains most recognized for are her signature, offbeat sartorial creations that toe the masculine feminine divide without ever veering into too-fussy territory. Here, the woman known for her singularly cool style sensibility, shares some beauty wisdom.—Fiorella Valdesolo

"I've been a yoga fan for around 15 years and what started as a way to prepare my body for the inevitable onset of gravity quickly revealed itself, as all yogis will know, to be much more about caring for what's inside head and body than what's on the outside. But any yogi will also vouch for the anti-aging effects of inversions not to mention what five down dogs a day can do for one's arms and butt! Throughout summer I like to finish my day with 50 lengths in the pool—it's meditative, calming, and great for the breathing."

There are few better ways to recover from a day of meetings, jet lag, and the hubbub of the metropolis than to disappear into this little piece of heaven. All their treatments are great, but just chilling in their meditative waiting area is the best of all."

Executive stressors include corporate pressures, such as financial concerns, performance expectations, personnel problems and isolation, frequent travel, possible drug and alcohol use, and family and social pressures resulting from life-work imbalance.
In many cases, early detection of disease allows for treatment which may effectively control the condition. In other cases, serious and lifelong conditions such as hypertension and diabetes can be identified and treated early. Prevention of disability from these and other conditions is important, even when they are not life threatening.

Gaston was a category 1 hurricane that made
landfall along the central South Carolina coast. After moving
inland, Gaston produced heavy rainfall across portions of the
Carolinas and Virginia. Flooding in the Richmond, Virginia
metropolitan area resulted in 8 deaths.
The genesis of Gaston can be traced to a
cold front that moved off the coast of the Carolinas into the
Atlantic on 22 August, and drifted southward the following day
before stalling on 24 August. Surface observations indicate that a
broad low formed along the weakening front on 25 August.
Thunderstorm activity associated with the low remained sporadic and
disorganized until late on 26 August, when the convective activity
began to increase and acquire a more banded structure. Early
morning visible and microwave satellite imagery on 27 August
suggest that the low had developed into the seventh tropical
depression of the season by 1200 UTC that day, about 115 n mi
east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina. It is of note that
the frontal zone from which Gaston formed also initiated the
development of
Tropical Storm Hermine
two days later.
The "best track" chart of Gaston's path is
given in Figure 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in
Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively.
The best track positions and
intensities are listed in Table 1. Steering currents were very weak
initially and the depression drifted slowly southward. Convective
banding continued to increase on 27 August and the depression
slowly strengthened, becoming a tropical storm early the next day
as it drifted westward about 130 n mi southeast of Charleston.
Strengthening continued on 28 August, and the first reconnaissance
aircraft to reach the cyclone found maximum flight level winds of
59 kt shortly after 1800 UTC.
Early on 29 August steering currents became
better defined, with the development of a mid- to upper-level ridge
northeast of Gaston and the approach of a mid-latitude trough into
the Appalachians. This steering pattern allowed the tropical
cyclone to begin moving northwestward toward the South Carolina
coast, and the forward motion of the cyclone increased from about 3
kt to 7 kt between 0000 UTC and 1200 UTC 29 August. Radar and
satellite imagery showed that Gaston continued to get better
organized as it approached the coast. Doppler radar observations
indicate that Gaston reached hurricane strength just before it made
landfall near Awendaw, South Carolina, between Charleston and
McClellanville, around 1400 UTC 29 August, with maximum sustained
winds estimated near 65 kt. The tropical cyclone then steadily
weakened while moving northward across northeastern South
At 0000 UTC 30 August Gaston weakened to a
tropical depression over northeastern South Carolina. Gaston then
turned north-northeastward ahead of the trough moving into the
eastern United States and the cyclone crossed eastern North
Carolina and southeastern Virginia during the day. Data from the
Chesapeake Light C-MAN site and a ship near the mouth of Chesapeake
Bay indicated that Gaston had regained tropical storm strength by
0000 UTC 31 August, while the center was still inland near
Yorktown, Virginia. Tropical storm force winds at this time were
confined to a small area over water southeast of the center;
however, the primary impact of Gaston in Virginia was flooding
produced by 6-12 in rains that occurred over about an 8 h
Gaston moved across the southern portion of
Chesapeake Bay and crossed the Delmarva Peninsula shortly before
0600 UTC 31 August. The tropical cyclone then accelerated
northeastward, passing about 60 n mi south of Nantucket Island,
Massachusetts later that day. Gaston strengthened slightly as it
continued to accelerate to the east-northeast, before becoming
extratropical south of the Canadian Maritimes at 1200 UTC 1
September. The extratropical remnants of Gaston were finally
absorbed by a larger extratropical system on 3 September about 750
n mi south-southeast of Reykjavik, Iceland.
Observations in Gaston (Figure 2 and Figure 3)
include satellite-based Dvorak technique intensity estimates from
the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB), the Satellite
Analysis Branch (SAB) and the U. S. Air Force Weather Agency
(AFWA), as well as flight-level and dropwindsonde observations from
flights of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron of
the U. S. Air Force Reserve Command. Microwave satellite imagery
from NOAA polar-orbiting satellites, the NASA Tropical Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM), the NASA QuikSCAT, and Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites were also useful
in tracking Gaston. Ship reports of tropical storm force winds
associated with Gaston are given in Table 2, and selected surface
observations from land stations and data buoys are given in
Table 3.
Gaston was strengthening up until landfall,
and was operationally assessed to be a strong tropical storm when
it crossed the coast. Unfortunately, no reconnaissance data were
available in these last hours. However, a post analysis of Doppler
velocity data from the Charleston and Wilmington NWS radars shows
that Gaston had winds aloft that support a reclassification to a
hurricane. The Wilmington radar observed a roughly 3 n mi wide
patch of average winds of 71 kt or more in the southeast quadrant
between 1130 and 1200 UTC on 29 August. These winds were observed
at an altitude of about 11000 ft, and would correspond to roughly
64 kt at the surface using standard adjustment factors. The
Charleston radar observed a similarly-sized area in the northwest
quadrant that also supports 64 kt surface winds. Neither radar had
a good look at the northeast quadrant, where the strongest winds
would have been expected. Based on these observations, Gaston has
been posthumously upgraded to a hurricane.
No land-based observations support
hurricane force surface winds, although the area was not
particularly well-sampled. A gust to 71 kt was recorded by a
Carolinas Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction System station
just south of Capers Island, South Carolina, with minimum pressure
of 985.1 mb. A gust to 70 kt was recorded by a storm chaser on the
Isle of Palms. The highest surge report was over 4 ft inside of
Bulls Bay.
In South Carolina, rainfall was heaviest in
a swath from Berkeley and western Williamsburg counties through
Florence and Darlington counties. Kingstree reported 10.5 in of
rainfall, which produced urban flooding of up to 5 ft. Radar data
suggest that up to 15 in may have fallen in some areas. Flash
floods occurred in Lake City. One F1 tornado was reported in
Marlboro county South Carolina. Rains tapered off somewhat as
Gaston moved through North Carolina, with accumulations there being
generally less than 6 in. Two tornados were confirmed in North
Carolina on 29 August: an F0 in Scotland County and an unrated
tornado in Hoke County.
Gaston produced very heavy rains and flash
floods as it moved through southeastern Virginia on 30 August, with
the most severe conditions in the Richmond metropolitan area. Two
locations in Richmond reported over 12 in of rain (Table 3). Most
of this rain occurred during an eight hour period late on 30
August. The cyclone also produced a dozen F0 tornadoes in eastern
Flash floods in the Richmond area directly
resulted in 8 fatalities. Five of these were from motorists
attempting to drive through flooded roadways, including one who
drove around a barricade to do so. Three individuals were killed
during rescue attempts. One indirect death was also reported.
Major fresh-water flooding occurred in
South Carolina. In Berkeley County, 20 structures were severely
damaged or destroyed, and dozens of other structures suffered minor
flooding damage. Winds associated with Gaston caused minor damage
to roughly 3000 structures in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester
counties. Downed tree limbs resulted in scattered power
In Virginia, Gaston washed out roads and
bridges. Damage was concentrated in Chesterfield, Dinwiddie,
Hanover, Henrico, and Prince George counties. About 350 homes and
230 businesses were either damaged or destroyed. Tornadoes mostly
downed trees, but several roofs were also damaged.
The American Insurance Services Group
reports $65 million in insured losses associated with Gaston in
South Carolina ($20M), North Carolina ($15M), and Virginia ($30M).
Total damage is estimated to be near $130 million.
Average official track errors for Gaston
are given in Table 4. These errors were generally smaller than the
long-term averages. The official errors were also generally lower
than the errors of the best dynamical guidance models and very
close to the errors of the GUNA, CONU, and FSSE consensus
Average official intensity errors were 8,
13, 12, 7, 5, and 10 kt for the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 h
forecasts, respectively. For comparison, the average official
intensity errors over the 10-yr period 1994-2003[1]
are 6, 10, 12, 15, 19, and 20 kt,
respectively. Although the errors are not particularly large, early
forecasts did not anticipate that Gaston would become a hurricane,
and as a result a hurricane warning was issued only about 14 h
prior to landfall. A tropical storm warning was first issued at
1500 UTC 28 August; Gaston made landfall roughly in the center of
the warning area 23 h later. The complete set of watches and
warnings associated with Gaston are listed in Table 5. No coastal
warnings were issued when Gaston re-strengthened to a tropical
storm over Virginia because the tropical storm force winds were
expected to remain exclusively over water.
Landfall observations, as well as damage and
casualty information, were compiled and provided by the NWS/Weather
Forecast Offices in Charleston, SC, Wilmington, NC, Jacksonville,
FL, and Wakefield, VA.
[1]Errors given for the 96 and 120
h periods are averages over the three years 2001-2003.

Hammonds' Europe profit halved in 2009-10, LLP results reveal
Readers' comments (2)
You have to wonder whether Squire sanders really know what they're getting.
I don't think SS have anything to worry about. They remain 2 completely separate firms for profit share and they are just franchising the name. Anyhow once the "eat what you kill" profit share kicks in they will be down to less than 50 equity partners.

Review by
Denton from Oologah, OK
I used these adapters to install my old MB Quart 6 1/2" separates. They did the job. I put these adapters over some Stinger Roadkill that I used to deaden the doors with. I felt like some sort of material between the adapter and the door was necessary. I don't know that to be true, but can say that a good tight fit was obtained when I did. The clip at the bottom and one screw at the top kept the speaker secure. There is a place to utilize a couple more of self tapping screws if you feel the need.

|Makes speaker installation much easier.
Review by
Old radio guy from Lansing, NY
I used to just drill holes in the door and mount the speakers straight to the door, but the steel in the doors is thick and has a rolled edge, which makes drilling the holes very tricky and time consuming. These brackets mount just like the factory speakers, fit nice and tight, and space the speaker out some, which makes them seal against the back of the door panel, for better bass response. The other manufacturer's bracket is flimsy, only snaps in, and just does not work as well. I have used these quite a bit, and highly recommend them. Installing speakers in these trucks without these brackets is doing it the hard way.

|Does the Job
Review by
RTRYLVR from WI
The fit was nice and it looks good. The only problem is the pocket. It was slightly warped in the middle giving it sort of a lip. I had to super glue it to get it so that there wasn't a lip. The pocket also didn't want to lock in to the tabs that are there for it to snap into place. I've experienced this in the past with kits from Scosche that have the pocket. Metra makes one piece models for some vehicles, which eliminates the problem with the pocket.

|Perfect for 2011 Buick Regal
Review by
Robert from North Ridgeville, OH
Just what I needed to add aftermarket speakers to my 2011 Buick Regal. The stock midrange speakers are glued to the original mounts. These are a perfect fit and leave the originals as is to put back in the future. BTW - Infinity component speakers are a great fit and sound awesome. They come with a tiny Infinity emblem that I hot glued to the Tweeter grills. Nice custom touch! Now there is no distortion when cranking Rock. It actually sounds better with the bass turned down to almost flat, now that it has real speakers instead of the cardboard junk from the factory.

|Great Speaker Replacement Adapter!
Review by
Casey from Ottawa, ON, Canada
You require these adapters to place aftermarket speakers in the doors of some vehicles. Including Pontiac G5s WITHOUT the Pioneer sound system. My G5 has a Pioneer sound system now :) I had to trim off the screw mounts around the edges to fit the door panel back on seamlessly, but otherwise this is exactly what I needed, and probably what you will need as well if you drive these vehicles. It is possible to modify your original speaker mounts, but this is a far less labor intensive option, and you retain the option of placing your original speakers back in your car.

Your most surprising driving distractionHospital visit, next exit? Roadside billboards mess with your mind--and your right foot--long after you've refocused on the road, new research shows.
(Find out what else you're doing wrong in the garage--and how to upgrade your ride--with our list of The 100 Best Car Tips for Men.)
The results: When billboards featured negative words, the drivers tended to slow down and veer from their lanes, according to the study. The drivers were also slower to spot the target words, which proves the negative language was distracting, says study author Michelle Chan, a Ph.D. student at Alberta. On the other hand, positive words caused drivers to push the pedal to the metal after they'd passed the billboard.
And it's not just words, Chan says. Negative or positive images are likely to have similar effects. Ironically, those frightening billboards showing car wrecks and warning about the dangers of drinking or texting
while driving may actually distract you into an accident, the research suggests.
How can you protect yourself? You're already halfway there. Just knowing that billboards cause distraction can help drivers keep their minds (and eyes) on the road, Chan says. Billboards are especially dangerous in urban areas and on busy roadways, and Chan says she hopes policymakers will enforce stronger regulations regarding where ads can be placed. In the meantime, lowering your visor to block elevated ads could also help, the study suggests.

10 tricks to looking taller
Dressing to look taller isn't a simple one-two punch of Aquanet-ing a 3-inch Snooki-pouf and stepping into 6-inch stilettos. Instead, lengthening a petite body type involves an entire conference of teams: necklines, hems, color palettes, print types, shoe shapes. They all affect how long and lean you look—even before you take heel height into account.

In the Rocksmith display at my local Sam's, there were plastic cards to pick up to buy the game/adapter set. The Xbox 360 ones all had little white stickers over the price that read $53.85.
The PS3 version was still the $72.xx price.
Could have just been my Sam's. I searched and it didn't look like Rocksmith existed on the Sam's Club website.

The downturn in the economy has affected everyone, including universities and especially students and professors who are trying to complete scholarly investigations and reports. SU subscribes to various scholarly journals, which helps reduce the cost of these scholarly materials, but these materials are not always available online, and sometimes getting a hold of them can turn into a hassle. If anyone has ever participated in the Inter-Library Loan Program, then they know that there are certain restrictions as to what materials they may borrow, when they can borrow them and for how long they can borrow those materials.
Fortunately, some of the nation's most prestigious universities have decided to share their scholarly investigations and findings with the rest of the world – for free. Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT and U.C. Berkeley have made the Five-Member Compact, which aims to reduce the popularity of process fees that make scholarly publications less affordable. This in turn, is meant to increase equality in the educational materials provided by different universities. Scholars and students will be less limited in the amount and the quality of the resources they are able to use. On an everyday basis, this means that students have more resources to do their research, and they do not have to freak out when they are off campus and do not have access to SU's database. It also means that students might not have to wait for materials as long as they otherwise would have to when conducting their research.
Senior Erin Fonseca thinks that this development will help improve the research process, making it quicker and more efficient. "I think it's an excellent idea because sometimes students face difficulties when conducting their research. Sometimes students may find something they find very useful to their studies, but they then have to go through ILL, or they simply do not have access to it, and that just makes the process much more difficult."
The current members of the Compact are inviting other universities to participate in this new program. This does not mean that scholars and universities must stop providing articles to scholarly journals. Instead, the universities are encouraged to simply make these articles available to everyone, not only the individuals or institutions subscribed to those journals. The universities who signed this Compact were inspired by "Equity for Open-Access Journal Publishing", an article by Stuart M. Shieber, which called for more widespread availability of scholarly works. According to him, scholars who write articles prefer that many individuals read their articles rather than just a few. He argues that scholars should strive to reduce barriers to other scholars, and that the business of Journals should be improved, because it has too many flaws. He believes that having open-access scholarly works will promote educational equality and improve the scholarly journal business.
Senior Ashley Barnard points out the advantage that this Compact brings to S.U. students. She says, "I think it is really great that information from big universities is becoming more accessible for students around the country. I feel like bigger schools have a lot of resources that smaller schools don't and this makes education and knowledge much more equal."

TEDxSDSU - What Have You Discovered? [And what have you done about it?]
Last week I had the pleasure of attending TEDxSDSU and giving a "TED Talk". I can't wait until 2.0 with my fellow TEDites. TEDians. TEDsters. People who like TED.
Fifteen speakers and performers told their unique stories, in their own unique ways, about the event's theme: "What Have You Discovered?". Ideas were bouncing off the walls like the Starbucks tasting staff, but without their bad breath. Afterward, I realized that in addition to the "official" theme, there were several other common threads that wound through each "TED Talk" and song.
Several speakers mentioned how young children interact with the world. As children, we don't pay much attention to the "voices" that we listen to later in life - the voices of peers, or probabilities, or pessimism. A passel of possibilities still hold promise. (Nice alliteration, huh?)
We are usually attracted to people who agree with us and have the same interests, but other perspectives stretch us, confirm us, and, sometimes, change us.
For many, including me, it was a huge lift to hear how others have gone through a "dark night of the soul" and not only survived, but thrived, when morning came.
The TEDxSDSU team asked us to answer the question, "What Have You Discovered?". We were a cooperative group, so that theme informed every talk and song. It was fascinating to hear the stories of discovery, and to encounter the other common themes that appeared, perhaps by coincidence, perhaps by grand design, but definitely by common experience.
For my talk, I took up the TED mantra, Ideas Worth Spreading, and suggested that yes, ideas are worth spreading, but great ideas are worth doing.
What's yours idea? And what are you doing about it? What step are you taking - today?

John ShawJun 1 2012: Debra mentioned below, "Even if you give it your very best effort it might not work out. Try anyway!" I'm doing some research on failure and success - how we define it, how we handle it, both as individuals and as a culture. Any stories of times when you give your best effort and it didn't work out?
Debra Smith 200+Jun 1 2012: Hi John! Yes! Enjoy your thesis process and here is that story.
After my MA I had learned a lot about neurocience and I found a test that I believe allows a computer to understand its user a bit. I got a grant, created a product and even got a review by Universal-Vivendi. I put everything I had into the process and as an added incentive I thought this was so amazing that i beluieved this might be just the ticket to finance my children's education. The evaluation said the my producuct was too advanced for the market (had to do with refresh rates of the screens) and that they had no use for it. Oh well!

Everlasting Snow: Chapter 62Another tap.The bird flutters impatiently, its small feet temporarily leaving the windowsill, a muffled tweet coming through the glass.Completely numb, you rise from your place on the couch and walk over to the window.But it blew up into snow, you think as you recall an isolated snowfall, looking down at the puffy white creature.Its small, snowy eyes meet yours.A new one? But…that's impossible…that means…!The bird hops over to the side of the ledge, where the window ends and wall begins. It taps multiple times at this spot, tweeting at you once again.You understand.Heart racing, your fingers find the frame.And you open the window.The cardinal zooms past you in a flurry of wind, its wings narrowly missing you. It circles up to the ceiling after a lap or two around the room, chirping excitedly.All you can manage to do is watch it in its miniscule magnificence, completely surrendered to the spell it casts in its tiny flight, your
Everlasting Snow: Chapter 64Despite the battle that you know must be going on for Jamie—for the children of the world, for hope, joy, and light—you somehow manage to fall into a restless sleep.Maybe it had something to do with that moonbeam that wiggled its way through the canopy of dark clouds and flooded directly into your bedroom.The moment sleep takes you, you're transported into the realm of dreams.You're standing in an entirely white space. So pure, so devoid of anything corrupt. It goes on endlessly, stretching onward for all eternity.Not knowing what else to do, you walk forward, your footsteps echoing even though you're barefoot.Just when you begin to think that you're absolutely alone, you feel a presence behind you.You cautiously turn around, bracing yourself for anything.Well, just about anything.Because what you're now facing completely throws you off.Or rather, who.He stands no taller than four feet high. He's dressed like a gentleman,
Everlasting Snow: Chapter 57Warning: This chapter contains spoilers regarding the Rise of the Guardians movie!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You brace yourself for impact.But it doesn't come.You feel something catch you, slowing down the pace of your fall. You slowly open your eyes, daring to relax.The wind whirls around your feet and shins, providing a cushion between you and the hard ground.It slowly sets you down, your feet softly making contact with the earthen floor.It leaves your feet and swirls up and around you in a single, long, invisible line, making you giggle as your clothes dance slightly from the wind. You're reminded of a cat's tail wrapping around its owner's leg as it purrs, longing to be pet and loved.It leaves the rest of your body and rubs against your cheek, feeling very much like a delicate hand resting on your face in a final farewell. Then, it departs.Thank you, you call after it, still smi

They begin to clop their hooves on the air.They're getting ready to leave.Come on, turn around, you think, hoping that somehow the Guardian or winter spirit will hear your projected thoughts.It seems to work.Jack takes notice of the being closest to him and whirls around.

You grab onto the moving boxes as if they were rocks on a climbing wall, your feet constantly giving out from underneath you in your effort.Thinking quickly, you scoop a few boxes aside, forming a makeshift ledge for you to perch on. With something of an empowering grunt, you leap up to the step that you have created for yourself, jamming the tops of your feet into the pile and standing securely on the boxes, the very things tha

This is a coldness brought on by the emptiness of the world, the kind that slinks in after the total extinguishing of all wonder, hope, and joy.The snow has almost completely melted away, patches of whiteness piled up along fences here and there. Reminders that winter is coming to a close.And of the absence of a certain spirit.This is the environment that you are si

Buried away, in a sense?"She shakes her head. "I completely removed all memories of you. There are none hidden away in the depths of his mind, so there's no chance of memories all of a sudden resurfacing without some extreme prompting."You sigh.

"And then there was that show last night…such power! I simply cannot leave him to continue assisting those weirdos that call themselves Guardians.

Everlasting Snow: Chapter 58Warning: This chapter contains extremely minor spoilers considering the Rise of the Guardians movie!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The world seems so much less colorful.Nowhere do you hear the sounds of children's laughter, the pitter patter of small feet against pavement gone away on holiday.What few voices you do catch are sad and dejected.Unable to stay in your prison of a house, drowning in sorrow, you had decided that you needed a walk.Your hands shoved in your pockets, you rarely look up, your gaze focused down on the ground as you walk down the quiet street.You soon come upon little Jamie's home. He and his friends are lounging around in the front yard, passing away the Saturday morning.Jamie is babbling away about how he saw the Guardians last night, excitedly relaying the details of each of them to his friends, who seem to be either ignoring or only halfheartedly listening to him. He seems to be especially caug
Jack FrostXReader~Part Three You awoke feeling freezing cold the next morning. You thought for a moment that Jack had made it so, but in all reality you had just left the window open when you had crawled back inside. You stayed there for a minute under your warm covers, not willing to face the chilling air that it protected you from. Yet, you eventually had to get up and close the window or else it would simply make the room worse. Taking a deep breath, you threw off your covers. The cold blast hit you hard but you pressed onward to the source of this awful temperature. You noticed that there was a thick layer of frost covering the glass, and it only further reminded you of last night. You shook your head and shut the window tight, being sure to lock it. After a quick hot shower, you went downstairs into your kitchen. You were about to grab a bowl when you realized that you had forgotten to do the dishes like your mother had asked you to! You quickly turned on the sink and began to rinse away the tough food sta
Jack FrostXReader~Part Four As Christmas break passed, you only saw Jack every once and a while. Occasionally he'd come visit you in your room and you'd simply just enjoy the company of each other. He understood that you really didn't want to go outside, although he often tried to convince you to see the beautiful winter scenes he'd created; Which you'd just look at through your window. He still played with your sister outside, and you sometimes secretly viewed their snowball fights. Jack seemed to genuinely like making your sister happy, which was your favorite trait about him. As you got to know him better, you also found several other things you loved about him. You loved his half smile, his blue eyes, the way he always had his hands in his pockets, the taste of his kiss, and his sarcastic tone that reminded you of your own. It was all these little things and more that made you realize that you had fallen in love with the boy. Soon Christmas break was gone, and you found yourself preparing your backpack for
Jack FrostXReader~Part Two "(Your name), you found him. You found Jack." The white haired boy smiled at your sister and she smiled right back. "I don't care who he is, I don't want you near him," You said quickly. "But-" She started. "It's okay (sister's name), what do you say we show her a little winter fun?" The boy said with a smirk rewarded with several nods and a giggle from your sister. He jumped out of the tree and landed on the ground with surprising ease. In fact, he almost seemed to float down. "No, you stay away from us," You said, pointing the stick at him. It wasn't much to defend yourself against the unusual creeper, but it would have to do. However, you were no fighting master, and he swiftly took your wrists in both hands with no problem. Cold seemed to emit from his very skin and it traveled up your arm, causing you to stop squirming. "L-Let go of me!" You said through your now chattering teeth. Why were his hands so cold? "Oh, but we haven't even started to have fun yet!" He s
Jack Frost x Reader: Fairy Tale Epilogue----1 year later---It was Christmas time again.It had been a year since everything had happened, since you had met a boy that hat stolen your heart.The first couple of months after you were kidnapped by Pitch were hard. You always seemed to wake up in the middle of the night with wisps of a nightmare playing in your head. But it would go away soon after you woke up, and was usually replaced with memories of Jack or of a golden spirit flying by your window trailed by long golden strands of what looked like sand.But it passed, and you stopped being afraid of the dark once again.The school year came and went, and before you knew it, it was winter yet again."(f/n) I'm going shopping, do you want to come?" You were looking out your window at the snowy world below as your mom called to you."Nah, I'm good mom. I'll see you later though." You pulled your (h/c) hair out of your face.

You grinned while cuddling the young guardian's pale cold hands.You glanced at the time and you saw its fifteen minutes before your alarm will turn on.You stood up gently trying not to wake Jack and turned off the alarm.You prepared yourself for school and when you're done, you saw the paper bag from yesterday and completely forgotten to give something to the young guardian.Looking in the bag, you brought out a brand new simple cell phone for Jack to use. You put it on your side table and stick a note onto it. You hurriedly brushed your hair and grabbed your bag before leaving. You looked at the young guardian for the last time with a smile and closed the door gently."A winter spirit with a cellphone?" You muttered and giggled after, "Why not?" you said joyfully and walked to school.Jack woke up and when he's moving his hand around the

It's this way." He was already walking away from you as you scrambled to get up. You almost tripped again but caught yourself when you noticed he was trying to hide his laughter."Shut up…" Your face was warming up as you felt a dark blush creep its way across your cheeks."Klutz, now keep up, I'm only going to tell a story once." He turned around as you started jogging to him, and once you reached him, you slowed to his pace."Okay, so you know all the legends?

Hi Kim, it's one full stick of butter (8 tbsp). Hope you like it! ~Brandie

I have made this twice now and it is fabulous!
The second time I also added Flax meal and some dried cranberries YUM! Thanks for the recipe!

I make this for my husband and he loves it! I substitute coconut oil for the butter and I use a banana instead of the eggs and leave out the maple flavoring.

I would like to try this but have no maple extract. Could I use maple syrup instead? And how much would I use?

Do you think this would freeze well? If so, how would you freeze it, before or after baking? Thanks!

Can you use the Old fashioned oatmeal? My husband does not like the texture of quick oatmeal.
