View a full list of items you can take onboard your flight
You'll notice some items are marked as needing 'Operator's approval' – this means you'll need to contact us as far in advance as possible to arrange. You can call us on 0203 451 2688.
Enhanced security checks for flights returning to the UK
UK airlines need to carry out enhanced security screening from certain destinations for return flights to the United Kingdom. If this applies to your flight, you'll be told whilst you're on holiday as it may mean that you need to check in a bit earlier. You might need to be at the boarding gate earlier, too.
Airport security regulations state that you're only allowed to carry small amounts of liquids in your hand baggage.
Liquids make up part of your 1-bag hand luggage allowance. You'll need to pack them in containers of no more than 100ml – 3.5 fluid Oz and carry them in a clear, resealable plastic bag up to a maximum size of 20cm x 20cm – 8 inches x 8 inches, or that can hold up to 1 litre.
Any liquids in containers bigger than this need to be packed in your checked-in luggage.
Make sure the containers fit comfortably in the bag and that the bag is completely closed. You'll need to ensure the containers are easily visible, too.
You'll need to provide the plastic bag yourself. Each person travelling – including infants – can carry 1 plastic bag for liquids.
Examples of liquids that you should pack as above include:
-Water and drinks, soups or syrups
-Creams, lotions and oils
-Gels – including hair and shower gel
-Shaving foam, other foams, deodorants and anything in pressurised containers
-Pastes, like toothpaste
-Liquid-solid mixtures
-Any other items that have a similar consistency
You'll be able to carry medical and dietary liquids over 100ml, but you'll need to bring a doctor's letter to show at security.
You can carry liquid baby foods or baby milk that's either pre-packaged or made up at home. You can also carry foods for special dietary requirements as long as it's essential for the flight or holiday.
Please give any food or baby milk to staff when you go through airport security, as it'll be screened separately.
When you get to security, you'll need to remove the plastic bag from your hand baggage – it gets screened separately.
Any liquids you buy from duty free must be carried in a sealed security bag - you'll be given this bag when you buy the item at the airport. You'll need to keep the item and the receipt sealed in the security bag throughout the journey.
Just so you know, security officers might need to open the bag to screen the item. If you're going to be connecting with another flight at your destination airport, let the security officer know and they'll reseal it in a new security bag.
You can take a small lighter through security as hand baggage – apart from flights to and from the USA, where they are banned.
The lighter will make up part of your liquid allowance and needs to be either packed in the resealable plastic bag or handed over separately for screening. After security, you'll need to keep the lighter in your pocket for safety – it can't be packed in your cabin bag.
What's more, you should never pack lighters or matches in your checked-in baggage.
You're allowed to carry devices like mobile phones, digital cameras or MP3 players in your hand luggage. If you're carrying any larger electrical items – a laptop, for example – you'll need to take them out of your hand luggage before you get to the security search point. This is because they'll need extra screening.
New airport security measures for electronic devices
If you're carrying any electronic devices in your hand luggage that are capable of holding a charge, you'll need to make sure they're fully charged when you go through airport security. This is part of new security measures that have been introduced by airports in the UK and abroad.
We recommend you keep things like mobile phones switched on until you board the plane, as there might be more checks at the departure gate.
You'll need to take off your coat or jacket before you go through security, and you may also be asked to remove your shoes. They'll need to go through the scanner.
You can take a wheelchair, walking aid or pushchair on board, but it'll need to go through the x-ray machine when you arrive at the security checkpoint.
Just so you know, you may need to undergo extra screening or searches at the boarding gate if you're going to the USA.
If you're travelling back from the USA to the UK, there are a few more restrictions you need to be aware of.
Just so you know, when you leave the USA, there are restrictions on taking liquids and gels into the departure areas.
You're allowed to take liquids in containers with a capacity of up to 90ml, which need to be packed in a 1 quart – or 1 litre, transparent plastic bag. You'll need to make sure the items in the plastic bag fit comfortably, completely closed and sealed, and handed to the security staff separately to your other hand luggage.
If you're carrying any baby food, medication or diabetic kit that either doesn't fit in the resealable plastic bag, or has a container bigger than 90ml, you'll need to declare it to security staff.
If you're carrying any form of liquids, you may need to undergo extra security screening.
For safety reasons, you can't take the following items on the plane at all – either in your hand luggage or your checked-in luggage. You may be able to have them carried as air cargo if they're packed and shipped in line with Dangerous Goods Regulations. This would need to be done by an approved cargo agent.
-Compressed gases – Deeply refrigerated, flammable non-flammable and poisonous – such as butane, oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and aqualung cylinders.
-Corrosives – such as acids, alkalis, mercury and wet-cell batteries.
-Explosives, munitions, fireworks and flares – including hand guns, ammunition, and percussion caps for toy guns.
-Flammable liquids and solids – such as lighter fuel, matches, paints and thinners.
-Radioactive materials
-Oxidising materials – such as bleaching powder, or peroxides.
-Poisons and infectious substances – such as insecticides, weed-killers, and live-virus materials.
-Other dangerous articles – such as magnetised material, offensive and irritating materials.

Look! Formal Dining on a Rustic Farm Table
I love wooden dining tables, especially ones with character and imperfections. Such nicks and bumps somehow make it all the more perfect. Now contrast such a loved piece with the formality of white and gold china and accents and you'll have cozy dining perfection with a touch of formality. Tell us, do you love this look?

This was my favorite photo from her house tour. I also love the contrast between the old fashioned tea party & the modern linens & glassware. The china setting is beautiful. And if she had put down placemats or a table cloth, the gorgeous table would have been sadly hidden. Love how she set the table. Sweet, modern & classic.
Sigh. Beautiful! I love it when styles are mixed--and if it's done successfully, even better!
I have a similar dining table in that it's a gorgeous unfinished wood piece, similar to above, just a different aesthetic (Pacifica from Crate and Barrel). It needs to be sanded down periodically using 0000 steel wool to clean up grease and water stains. It's not really a big deal because it's just myhusband and myself, and we use placemats when we eat on it. But when we had our Xmas party and a dinner party for NYE, I used a light weight clear shower curtain liner to prevent future a collection stains from forming on the table because I didn't want to use placemats, runner or tablecloth and cover up the beauty of the table. I don't know if it was tacky, but the thought of accumulating hundreds of grease stains and water rings on the table was horrible to picture.
China is for using and not display! Pull your china out and start using it....anywhere and on any table that pleases you.Think about it this way....how do you decide whose company warrants the 'china'?You can't.
You own it....you love it....use it! I loved visiting my paternal Grandmother because she had cabinets bursting with china and used it all.Good times,good food , good memories and good china.I don't recall ever looking at her table.It was a Victorian dinning set.Kitchen was chrome.I don't think it's tacky not to use runners and mats.If you like your wood table....use the plastic and enjoy it.I remember all the old dears had table pads.People often ate on the top side of the pad saving themselves from the hassle of linens and their table top.Clear plastic would do the same thing.
I just posted something like this on my blog. I had a dinner party this weekend and used formal china on a bare french provence table. I think to looks very inviting...take a look and tell me what you think!

Redbox milestone: 3 billion movies rented
The company is celebrating, but analysts worry about its ability to diversify as the DVD market shrinks.
Here's an unusual milestone for a company: 3 billion transactions with the public. Redbox, the market-leading movie rental service, marked its 3 billionth movie rental last month when someone in Littleton, Colo., took out a DVD copy of the Halle Berry movie "The Call."
Redbox is a subsidiary of Outerwall, Inc. (OUTR), which changed its name from Coinstar in June.
Redbox celebrated its 3 billionth rental by offering Thursday-only promotional codes on its Facebook (FB) site for free rental deals. The company had a similar promotion in March of last year, when it reached the 2 billion rental mark. But even as Redbox grows, there are concerns by industry analysts that DVD market might be dying faster than expected.
"In the wake of Blockbusters closing down," L.A. Biz recently noted, "Redbox has become the de facto rental spot in most neighborhoods for DVDs." Redbox launched in 2002 and currently has about 43,000 kiosks at 36,000 locations nationwide.
The company's disc rentals grew to more than 50% of the market for the first time recently and its rental rate rose 3.7% in the second quarter from the previous year -- helped in part by a jump in Blu-ray disc and video-game rentals, as well as the installation of tens of thousands of new kiosks that hold more discs.
But Redbox's future is not necessarily rosy, even as it widens its lead over Netflix (NFLX) in the DVD rental business. Outerwall's second-quarter results, released last week, disappointed investors with lower-than-anticipated sales figures.
Redbox, says Motley Fool contributing writer Demitrios Kalogeropoulos, is now trying to reduce its dependency on the shrinking DVD rental industry -- as more people access video via online streaming -- with long-term plans to diversify.
"It's getting into things like more automated retailing, like the coffee kiosks called Rubi that it's expanding into," he said. "It's also trying to expand into the streaming market a bit, with its joint venture with Verizon (VZ) called RedBox Instant. So long-term, the company may be able to diversify out of this shrinking DVD business. However, that isn't happening any time soon."
God help us all when everything is online and something happens to the grid. We'll be thrown into the dark ages.

Race to the Top provides incentives for unprecedented collection of student data. Bill Gates and Rupert Myrdoch created a new corporation called inBloom to collect and store this data. They say it is good for students and teachers but it is hard to understand why the government and private corporations need so much confidential data about everyone.
Here is one article that creates a context.
It is about the huge new industry called data mining. Every time we open the Internet or swipe a credit card, our data are added to a profile.
"The industry of collecting, aggregating, and brokering personal data is known as "database marketing." The second-largest company in this field, Acxiom, has 23,000 computer servers that process more than 50 trillion data transactions per year, according to The New York Times.1 It claims to have records on hundreds of millions of Americans, including 1.1 billion browser cookies (small pieces of data sent from a website, used to track the user's activity), 200 million mobile profiles, and an average of 1,500 pieces of data per consumer. These data include information gleaned from publicly available records like home valuation and vehicle ownership, information about online behavior tracked through cookies, browser advertising, and the like, data from customer surveys, and "offline" buying behavior. The CEO, Scott Howe, says, "Our digital reach will soon approach nearly every Internet user in the US."
Big data. The answer to everything except our privacy.
An antique concept: privacy.

As I reported earlier, the ARRL began developing a guide to help new hams choose their first radio at the urging of licensing instructors generally, and with special impetus from David Haycock, KI6AWR and Greg Widin, K0GW. The guide was recently finalized, and will be included as a supplement in the next printing of the 1st edition of the Ham Radio License Manual that has just recently gone to press. It also has been posted on its own Web page, where it is accessible to any member. Check it out!

I had just the opposite experience with Google. When I asked them how they found me, the recruiter paused, and said 'Google?'

Amen Craig. I am always amazed at how people dither about whether or not they should leave a company that is TF'ed (the "T" stands for truly). Think of the opportunity cost that Kirk inflicted on himself for staying at that company for 4 years right at the beginning of the Dot.com era...it is staggering.
Companies certainly don't have any compunction about doing what is in their own self interest such as freezing wages, downsizing, right sizing, and eliminating pensions for bullshit 401Ks.
American workers have been marginalized to contract status as they can be fired at any time and have minimal health and pension benefits; yet, they don't get paid as well as true contractors. Oh and don't get me started on outsourcing.
Happy holidays...
The comment you're supplying? It's electrifying.
when i leave a company i usually burn the bridge just to make sure i won't go back somewhere i did not like.
eventhough i was called back once to get a nice offer 20k below my current salary. i knew there was a reason i left.

The Network holds liars accountable. I got an IM from a former co-worker when someone, let's call him Bob, applied for a job. Bob claimed to have worked for a client where I had worked in the same period of time. Actually, he was thrown out in less than a week for not being capable. The fact that Bob lied came to light this way, and well, my former co-workers company didn't hire him.
That assumes that you actually understand stuff like that. I don't - and I have tried.
About questions in general: I don't like asking questions when I'm in an interview. I know that I'm not always good at making myself understand, especially when I'm nervous, and most often when I do try to ask something it comes out wrong and I get flustered and even more nervous. If I do need to ask something, I will, but I will avoid it if I can.
I have found I'm a fairly good judge of whether I like the place based on what I see / hear / feel around me (at least, I've been right about everywhere I've ended up working, or later found out more about).

I don't understand the point of going back for an interview when you already know you don't want the job and it's a terrible company to work for.
Insatiable curiosity. I might have done the same thing.
I agree with the American bear--you should have questions prepared, and ask them.
When I first came to Dallas in 2000, I had spent five years working for the same company, out in the sticks. I had no experience at interviewing for IT positions in the metroplex. I read a couple of websites offering tips on interviewing; they both advised preparing questions to ask. At the time, I dismissed this as unnecessary.
I interviewed for a position with McAfee, of ViruScan fame. The technical part went quite well and I was confident of getting the position, when the interviewer asked, "Do you have any questions you'd like to ask us?" I replied, no, I didn't, and his face fell. After a couple of awkward moments he picked up the thread again and continued on, but shortly he asked again, "Are you sure you don't have anything to ask me?" I again replied that I did not. And I could tell by his expression that my lack of preparedness had just cost me that position. He quickly wrapped up the interview and I left, determined to go to my next interview properly prepared.
A few days later I interviewed for my current position, and just as Ursus said, I came with a leather-bound notebook containing several questions. These mostly related to their development processes. For example:
Do you have a dedicated QA staff to do testing of software? If not, what is your testing process?
What is your approach to continuing education for your employees? How often do you provide training for them, and what type of training is it?
What development tools and platform do you use?
Do you attempt to keep pace with growth in the IT field by regularly upgrading your tools and platform? If not, how often do you upgrade?
In my assignments, what will be the ratio of new development to maintenance of legacy applications?
...and so forth. These questions are not difficult to ask, particularly if you read them straight from your leather-bound notebook as they are worded here. Nor are you being presumptious by asking them. Instead, you're demonstrating that you are interested in working in a healthy, progressive environment where management understands the necessity of good tools and continuing training.
Grease, it's the word...

Actually, back in 1994, air quotes weren't necessarily a bad sign. The ISP market was just taking off and they were peddling dial-up 28.8k access only. You still had a lot of Windows 3.x users using Trumpet Winsock and the original Netscape browser.
I worked for an ISP back in 1994, and I remember those days. The dot-com boom didn't pick up speed until 1997 or so.

Nice try, Alex, but we all know it's really you. ;-)
In the particular market where I work (Indianapolis), the total market is small enough that your chances of cross-pollenation are very high. At every position I've had in the past 5 years I have encountered someone who I either knew before or who directly knows someone I knew before. I know several individuals who have burned a bridge that returned to haunt them later.
I'm so glad he went back for the second interview.
Curiosity is a healthy value.
If I saw them posting the same ad as before, I'd want to go and see how gnarly it was. It gives you a final perspective on the situation, like a bookend, and you can then move on knowing what actually happened.
At this point in my cynical life, I might not have waited as long to leave the first time, but that's experience talking, which I didn't have at my first few gigs.
Re: The Re-Interview
2007-12-21 13:53 • by A Gould (unregistered)
Easily true - a local (non-tech) company has used the same ad in the paper for 10 years (and until maybe a year ago, the exact same overinflated "up to $X" pay scale).
You better shape up.
Given the market lately, I've found that I am weeding out companies more than they are weeding out candidates.
A couple weeks ago I interviewed with a company for "new development work, cutting edge", etc. When it was my turn to ask questions, I asked what they actually needed help on. This led into the company's idea of an "ideal" career path. Which was: start in support (yes, answering the phones), then move to maintenance programming, and after a couple years I would be able to join the new development team. They then asked if I was interested.
I've been doing development for 15+ years; with most of it being new over the past 10 of that. So I told the interviewers that perhaps they needed to find someone a bit more junior. Like maybe just out of high school.
Yes, asking questions is an absolute must.
Sounds like a great scam. I heard of shit like this happening before...
My uncle had his raises halted for 7 yrs for financial troubles, then the owners bought a Ferrarri! Each! And I think more than 1. He just left in a snap.
Its not a WTF but I found it funny that it still existed.
Is there going to be a Christmas WTF???
It's obviously not a completely true story. However, it may still say true things about industry and about real human experiences.

Who can keep me satisfied!
He he... I saw this bathroom stall graffiti at one of my old college bars, and it's stayed with me to this day:
"No matter how cute you think she is, someone, somewhere, is sick of her shit."
If they google me on my name, I'm screwed.
There is a guy who is 2 years younger ( thank god his birth date is on the profile page, that might hint HR that he's not me ) and he has a profile page on http://www.partyanimal.be/yannickskueeeeeh , which conveniently shows up first when googling my name.
His paged used to be filled with swastikas, and he uses a bad form of Flemish internet slang.
The other 3 hits are actually me, on a school website, and 2 clan-gaming websites.
Let's hope they never google me >.>
Easy - sheer morbid curiosity... besides, I don't think he did know yet that he didn't want it - it *might* have actually changed...

I think the OP needs to go back an interview a THIRD time. He'd probably be told by the HR recruiter, "you're the one that I want."

If you search for my name in Google, you will find I seem to have split personality. One, coding at nights on weird hack projects, going by the pseudonym "Fizzl". And the other one; formally educated orchestral conductor, working in the musical programme service industry.
I think one of these has a future...

I must say.. this has to be the dumbest smart guy I've seen in a long time..
"Teeeeeeens of milllions..." "We're going places!"..
TWO RED FLAGS in a row..
No serious company would hire such idiots in HR..
This story is extremely frightening. To throw away most of your life working for a single company without any promotions or presumably raises is absolutely terrifying.
I get bored at jobs within a year if the work isn't exciting and there isn't advancement potential. I've worked with some people that have stayed in companies for years, and their complacent attitudes about everything scare the daylights out of me; it's like something out of a horror movie with lobotomized cult members.
Oh god. You stupid, stupid, stupid STUPID cunt.

study the Bible? Do you pick a subject {prayer, God's character} or do you pick a book in the Bible and study from there?
|Mon, 11-14-2011 - 3:24pm
We have a Bible study book for the boys called Sticky Situations. 1 study for everyday of the year. Its awesome. Personally, I just read and study wherever I feel drawn on any given day. Sometimes I do read straight thru books, others I jump around.
|Mon, 11-14-2011 - 11:26pm
Love the study book title for the boys. We read a daily devotion to the kiddos at night. We are studying Revelation on Tuesday nights and our homegroup is working through 1John. Some days I just open the Bible and begin to read wherever that is.

wow you all down rated me. im shocked /end sarcasm
this guy pulls something in his leg and it takes 4 people to carry his fat ass off stage. when i tore my acl in half i hopped my gimp ass away on 1 leg while my knee swelled up to the size of a volley ball. you may be this epic warrior when you play wow but outside most of you are as soft as a cupcake.

I don't think you deserve the right to that "carebear" title, Sir.
i dont consider myself tough just because i wouldnt need to be carried off like this fool was after such a ridiculous injury. i consider myself to be a normal man whos able to deal with a little bit of pain without embarrassing myself.

Air Jordan fans aside, for those of us on the Hill, the most interesting part of this ad is the music. The slow-motion screams of writhing fans and the languid leaps of players are all set to the voices of the St. Olaf Choir performing the Lacrimosa movement from Mozart's Requiem. The recording was made in the spring of 2004 with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and was conducted not by Anton Armstrong as the St. Olaf website suggests but by German conductor Andreas Delfs.
The ad itself is pure melodrama. Although it uses one of the most tragically beautiful movements ever written by Mozart incidentally the last notes he ever wrote it hardly takes itself seriously. Our first shot is of the home teams jumping cheerleaders. Clad in white, their cheers are directed at the scoreboard, which reads 62-61, home-visitor, with 3.7 seconds to go. The shot pans to the wild fans of the home team as they wave and shake their signs; the home team has possession we see excited players on the bench and a confidant coach. And then everything changes.
An opposing player emerges from the dark of the court. Clad in black, he steals the ball from the home team and, in a triumphant flourish, scores the winning basket. The faces of the home fans collapse in dismay, the coach falls to his knees, the players lay down on the court in disbelief.
The tragicomic action in the basketball gym could have easily been set to some pounding rap song or tortured rock anthem. Something modern, something the people buying Air Jordan's might recognize. And yet Nike chose a recording of Mozart, performed by the choir of a Lutheran liberal arts college.
In the words of Richard Erickson, co-manager of the St. Olaf Choir, whoever chose Lacrimosa to accompany this ad really knew what they were doing. The plaintive notes of the movement create a sense of tragedy in the moments before the fateful steal. As the demise of the home team becomes increasingly apparent, the rising voices of the St. Olaf choir bring a heightened sense of drama. And yet the contrast between this classical masterpiece and the action of a basketball game allows us a bit of humor in the incident. And here is where the true genius in the selection emerges: Lacrimosa is a funeral march. As James May, provost and dean of the college, pointed out, Whoever at Nike figured this out is quite clever, because the team in the commercial is dying when the last shot goes in.
The ad has received quite a bit of attention both in the press and on YouTube, where it has been posted for over a month. As of 3 p.m. on Sunday, it had received 77,910 views, 815 favorites and 256 comments. The comments have ranged from celebrations of its genius perfect music for the commercial, it is so dope to cries of outrage at the use of Mozart's last work for a shoe commercial. Whoever authorized the use of Lacrimosa in this commercial needs to be murdered. I just don't think Mozart should ever be equated with basketball shoes, said one irate viewer.
So, how did this bizarre alliance between Nike and St. Olaf Records even happen? Erickson explained that B.J. Johnson, manager of the St. Olaf Choir, received a call from the British distributor of the record about two weeks before the ad was due to air. The distributor acted as a middleman for negotiations between Nike and St. Olaf Records. After about a week of dialogue, an agreement was reached. As the recording was made with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the majority of the settlement will go to their players, with the remainder to St. Olaf Records.
Erickson describes the ad as a wonderful publicity opportunity for the College. Given the buzz generated on YouTube, as well as a mention in The New Yorker, this certainly seems to be the case.
Yet alumni reactions have been somewhat mixed. An alum who declined to be named questioned St. Olafs association with Nike, a company who has received relatively negative press in the last few years. It doesn't quite seem to go along with the mission of St. Olaf College, the alum said.
Perhaps this ad is one of those moments where we see the many faces of St. Olaf; although we strive to be a college of the church and an institution dedicated to focusing on what is ultimately worthwhile and fosters the development of the whole person in mind, body and spirit, there are moments when St. Olaf College is a business, like any other, and when a slick opportunity like a Nike ad comes along, we take it.

The Three Questionsby Jon J. Muth
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Nikolai seeks counsel from a wise old turtle in a beautifully illustrated story inspired by Tolstoy.
Nikolai wants to be the best person he can be, so he asks three questions that will give him the answers. But when he helps a stranger, he realizes what the truth really is. Full-color illustrations.
With his stunning watercolors — and text that resounds with universal truths, award-winning artist Jon J Muth has transformed a story by Tolstoy into a timeless fable for young readers.
What is the best time to do things? Who is the most important one? What is the right thing to do? Nikolai knows that he wants to be the best person he can be, but often he is unsure if he is doing the right thing. So he goes to ask Leo, the wise turtle. When he arrives, the turtle is struggling to dig in his garden, and Nikolai rushes to help him. As he finishes work, a violent storm rolls in. Nikolai runs for Leo's cottage, but on his way, he hears cries for help from an injured panda. Nikolai brings her in from the cold, and then rushes back outside to rescue her baby too.

super easy and will be one of my favorites since i love love love peppermint!
no flavor except for the sharp peppermints.
9 Ratings
I made a gluten free version of this recipe using a gluten free baking mix. It turned out well because the peppermint candy pieces that are in the dough really help hold the cookie together which is great because some GF products can be a bit crumbly. Nice, easy recipe. The candy topping really makes them look festive.
Peppermint is an absolute must for Christmas and these cookies are great, especially while decorating or wrapping Christmas presents!
My coworkers and family are now calling these "Christmas Crack"! This is a new favorite peppermint cookie recipe, and I made it exactly as posted! Thank you!
It was a decent cookie. The cookies could have had more flavor. They were very floury and not sweet enough. The icing and extra peppermint on top helped boost the flavor a lot. Next time I think I will add just a bit more sugar.
Merry & very yummy:)!
That was a yummy bite full :)

GAO report on IRS financial audits, reports
Despite clean audits and steps forward in improving financial management, deficiencies in internal controls still plague the Internal Revenue Service, according to a Government Accountability Office report released June 6.
The GAO said at the beginning of the audit of IRS' fiscal 2005 financial statement, 84 financial management-related recommendations from prior audits remained open because the IRS had not adequately addressed them. During the audit, the GAO was able to close 34; however, the GAO made 22 new recommendations.
Through the analysis, the GAO found that 29 recommendations, or 40 percent of the open cases, related to the IRS' lack of effective controls over safeguarding and securing assets, the report states. To do so, the GAO recommends keeping physical control over vulnerable assets and controlling information processing. It also recommends restricting and making people accountable for resources and records.
In all, 26 recommendations centered on proper documenting and recording of transactions, and 17 regarded effective management review and oversight, according to the report.
Regarding information technology, the GAO closed out a recommendation about lockbox management after finding that the boxes' guards were responsive to alarms, according to the report. The GAO also did not close an IT-related recommendation about appropriate employee cross-training. GAO auditors believe the IRS needs more people who are trained to extract files so the agency can continually develop reliable balances for financial reporting purposes.
"It is essential that [the recommendations] be fully addressed and resolved to strengthen IRS' overall financial management and to assist it in achieving its goals and mission," the report states.

Beauty And The Beat: Au Revoir Simone's Erika Forster Goes Blonde—And Goes Solo
It's been two years since indie dream pop trio Au Revoir Simone went on a hiatus, but singer and keyboardist Erika Forster has found a way to keep busy with a newly launched solo project. "I wanted to still do music and I felt like, 'Well, I have everything set up for me to do this, so I need to just see what happens.' I just started experimenting," she says of her self-titled debut EP, out this week. As with Miuccia Prada-favorite Au Revoir Simone (who are now back together and presently working on their fourth album), the tracks on Erika Spring showcase Forster's dulcet voice and knack for ethereal, just-the-right-side-of-sweet melodies. Here, Style.com caught up with the Brooklyn-based musician to find out her eco-friendly beauty favorites, why silk is a touring musician's best friend, and why blondes really do have more fun.—Rebecca Willa Davis
What's the biggest difference between working solo versus with a group?
It's really nice in the band [because] I always have two people that I trust to bounce ideas off of. Sometimes I feel a little, like, I don't know the answer to the question and I'm going to have to figure it out. But I also have to say it's allowed me to meet other amazing creative people—like Jorge [Elbrecht], who produced [my album]. Just having those experiences were really positive.
Besides going solo, you've also gone from brunette to blonde—another big change, I imagine.
I had been wanting to do it for a long time. I've had every kind of blonde since then; I started slowly and then I went all the way to platinum, which was fun, but it was really hard to keep it up. Now I've settled down. I've found my blonde! The girl who does it is amazing. I go to Aura Friedman at Serge Normant at John Frieda in [New York's] Meatpacking District. She has great ideas; when I first started getting my hair done by her, we were putting a lot of really pale pastel pinks in. She also has a really great color Tumblr [http://auracolorist.tumblr.com/] that's just so beautiful. She's an artist.
Did going blonde have any effect on your personality?
I feel like at the time that I did it, I really needed to lighten up in a very spiritual and all-encompassing way. I didn't think about it that way then, but looking back, I wanted to just have this physical change. I think stereotypes about blondes are annoying but some of them are really true—in many ways I feel like my personality fits being blonde.
What do you rely on to keep your hair—and skin—in good shape for back-and-forth trips to the studio and live shows?
I keep it really simple. The past year I've been really eliminating chemicals in my life and I have a friend, Jessa Blades, who has a natural beauty blog, Blades Natural Beauty, so she helps me find alternatives. Like Priti nail polish—I just found this one nail polish, Spring Song, and it's the same color as my album art! I use Lulu Organics hair powder—I love that stuff, it's really good for a long tour. RMS Beauty has these little concealers that you can use as foundation for your whole face. I use it all over. The eyeliner that I use is from Zosimos, that's a good eyeliner. I use Sprout Cream, this great and totally natural moisturizer. And then my favorite thing is at Whole Foods, they have these little rosewater bottles from Heritage Store. There's a gardenia flower water that, especially in summer, I just carry it with me everywhere.
Au Revoir Simone was just featured in a Miu Miu short film earlier this year. Why do you think there's such a strong connection between music and fashion?
It's mutual muses or something. Ever since designers started using personalities and not always models, I feel like musicians have been integrated into that. And in the same equal way, musicians are onstage and always want to create a spectacle. Or not necessarily a spectacle, but create a mood. So I feel like that connection is inherent and we've been lucky enough to get to work with some of our favorite designers. The project with Miu Miu was really amazing.
Having spent so much time touring, do you have any summer packing advice?
Definitely pack light and just find those outfits that work. I used to bring lots of separates on tour that didn't necessarily go with things, so I stopped doing that. And I recently realized that silk is the greatest thing to bring when traveling; you can clean it in five minutes in the shower, and you can wear it in summer or winter.

Breathless trains and, worn down glories.
Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own.
1. What does their bedroom look like?
Hm. Probably a distinct mix between messy and clean. And I know that sounds off, but let me explain: there are parts of her room that are obsessively clean, like… her desk, or any place she works. She's very mentally organized in the work part of her life, but I doubt she, say… every folds her laundry when it's done. She has one of those pile situations where one pile is dirty, one's clean, and one could go either way. She doesn't tuck her sheets into her bed. She doesn't organize her hygienic junk (deodorant, shampoo, etc. It's just all over the place).
As far as layout goes, though, I mean… it looks the same as all senior officers' quarters, save that she probably had a shitton of pillows. May loves pillows. 500 pillows.
12. Favourite book genre?
Historical nonfiction! May gusta weird historic family dramas. She's also pretty into, like, the Bronte sisters (though she thinks Wuthering Heights is a bore).
She really does enjoy, like, biographies of ancient generals who did dumb shit, though.
19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?
Mm. Likely whatever happened in the day. She tends to obsess over little details. Plus, I've always thought May has something of a sleeping problem. Her brain has trouble shutting off, so she can lie in bed for hours thinking and thinking before she finally drifts off.
21. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?
The paper would probably end up full of calculation of theories on whatever she was working on recently. That, and some doodles of anyone she sees around. She's not a great artist, but she can do a mean caricature.
27. Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?
Depending on what part of the timeline this is asked in, the first question has multiple answers. As the site is starting out, probably Fields. Later on, definitely Theo. Much earlier in her like, her twin brother. Nowadays he kind of plays the role of her worst enemy, though, since he's probably the person who hates her most in the world. SIGH.
41. How misanthropic are they?
…Pretty misanthropic. Not in an obvious way, and not in an outward way, but she's not really an optimist. She's very energetic and outgoing, yes, but when the fate of something in her personal life is in question she pretty much always believes the worst outcome is bound to happen. That's less true when it comes to missions. She can hold onto hope for hours/days/months on that front.
47. How do they express love?
Not very much ever at all. May is an emotional basket case. Friendship is the only thing she's good at expressing, and anything beyond that will make her freeze up (unless it's sexual, because she can do sexual). Honestly, the best way she expresses romantic love is by being affectionate in the most distant way possible (like lingering on hugs, or brushing hands when walking side by side). She's just such a dumb mess, she can't deal with anything close to relationshippy shippp things.

Story by Maranda Ryser
Danny Arrubla is only a freshman but is already a leader.
Metro forward Arrubla led the men's soccer team in every offensive category this season.
To top it all off, Arrubla recorded the first hat trick of his collegiate career, making him the first freshman to achieve a hat trick in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game, against Adams State University Oct. 23.
"As a freshman in college it is rare to have a hat trick, so I was really excited about it," Arrubla said.
Roadrunner head coach Ken Parson said that a hat trick is not something you normally see.
"I think Danny does well with his chances," Parson said. "That was a game where he had three solid looks at goal and was able to put away all of them. You don't expect that every game from him."
Arrubla, from Chandler, Ariz., started 20 games for the Roadrunners and led with 33 points, 13 goals, seven assists and four game-winning goals. Arrubla also had 32 shots on goal with a .457 percentage rate.
"We did not go into the season saying for us to be a good team he has to be productive and score a lot of goals for us," Parsons said. "It has been a pleasant surprise to see him respond so quickly in his career."
Arrubla's teammates are also happy about his contributions.
"He is always there to score when we need him to," freshman midfielder Jacob Candelaria said.
Parsons added that Arrubla is not only a good player but a good teammate.
"He is not a ball hog and he has got plenty of assists on the year. He can bring other players into the game," Parsons said.
Arrubla may lead the team offensively, but he is not selfish with his reason.
"I'm working for the seniors on the team because I know it is their last year in college. I'm trying to make it the best for them," Arrubla said.
As Arrubla's freshman year of soccer came to an end in the 2-0 RMAC semifinal loss, which was against Colorado School of Mines on Nov. 2, he continues to have high hopes for his team.
"The guys on this team have a lot of heart. I hope we win an RMAC championship in the years to come, and that we can give it a good run in the NCAA tournament in the future," Arrubla said.
Arrubla has proven his dedication and success as a freshman and has many excited to see where he goes with his years left, including his coach.
"I do not think we go in with any hopes and dreams for our players, other than the fact we want to them to have a quality experience here, and to get their degrees," Parsons said. "We give them the best opportunity to be productive as soccer players, and Danny has demonstrated that early on."

A Dubuque tradition of more than half a century is without its founder for the first time.
Donna Ginter held a free Thanksgiving dinner for people in need every year since the early 1960s. She died earlier this year, but her legacy is living on. More than 2,000 people are getting a Thanksgiving meal this year, thanks to Ginter's annual tradition.
It's an effort she led for decades and now it's in her family's hands.
Although it takes a lot of organization to prepare more than 1,800 meals for home delivery, the Donna Ginter Thanksgiving Dinner is a well-oiled machine. Now, without the tradition's founder at the helm, Ginter's daughters Kathy and Genny Ginter are running the show.
"It's got to continue," Genny Ginter said Thursday morning. "She worked so hard for this to happen, it would just be crazy for this not to happen, you know?"
She said her mom "lived for this," always raising money to help feed the hungry.
"There are so many people out here who actually need it," Genny Ginter said. "Some of the homes don't deliver. The shut-ins, they don't (otherwise) get meals delivered to them on this holiday."
At Dubuque's Knights of Columbus Hall, more than 300 volunteers showed up for the morning shift of packing up meals for home delivery.
A new local organization called Resources Unite is partnering with the Donna Ginter Thanksgiving Dinner this year. Through social media, Resources Unite enlisted the help of hundreds of volunteers.
"People know Donna Ginter and they know the tradition, and so people already are primed to make a difference and get involved," Resources Unite founder and director Josh Jasper said. "Putting it out on our Facebook page and Twitter and things like that, (we) just had an overwhelming response."
Dubuque native Gary Schubert and his family volunteered at the Ginter dinner for the first time.
"The Ginter family obviously has a long-standing tradition here with their family of giving back and supporting the community, and we just thought that part of our day we'd like to dedicate to returning the generosity that life has shown us," he said. "We certainly encourage other families to consider adding this to their Thanksgiving tradition as well."
Jasper estimated a total of more than 500 volunteers would show up to help throughout the course of the event.
"We were quite surprised," Schubert said. "When we got here, the line for the volunteers was going up the stairs and back down the stairs."
While Donna Ginter's family members miss their matriarch, they say they could feel Ginter's generous spirit throughout the entire hall.
"She's always here!" Genny Ginter said.
Organizers said numbers were down this year, as some people didn't think the tradition would continue without its founder. Ginter's daughters, however, say they plan to keep the annual dinner alive.
"Oh yes, every year," Genny Ginter said. "Until I can't do it."
The meal included more than 2,000 pounds of turkey, 54 cases of mashed potatoes and four tons of salad.
Genny Ginter didn't have an exact figure Saturday morning, but she said the meal costs tens of thousands of dollars to put on every year, all of which comes from donations and fundraisers.

Was going to post pretty much the same thing.
You can't equate utility with being a hybrid. Those are two different kinds of utility. One is the kind where you can maybe mitigate some damage or CC a mob, the other is the kind where your utility lies in the fact that you can change specs between fights and perform a completely different ROLE. Just because my warlock can battle ress somebody and pass out cookies doesn't mean that I can suddenly jump in and tank the next boss or heal, because someone has to go offline.

Calvert, St. Mary's and Charles County
Story Category: The Bay Net Exclusives »
Peter Franchot Champions Small Business
By Pete Hurrey
Maryland State Comptroller, Peter Franchot is a staunch advocate for the financial health and wellbeing of Maryland, its citizens and the businesses that support the state. Franchot had an informal forum with the Charles County Chamber of Commerce Hospitality and Restaurant Council on Friday to discuss the status of Maryland's finances with respect to Southern Maryland.
According to Deputy Comptroller, Len Foxwell, the states' chief financial watchdog and tax enforcer, Franchot, frequently solicits input from area businesses about their feelings on the economy. "He considers these meetings as an indispensable source of guidance," Foxwell said.
In his remarks to the Hospitality Council, Franchot covered everything from the tourism aspect of Charles County's rich historical heritage to the price of gas and what his office is doing to investigate the pricing. "We are particularly concerned with zone pricing," Franchot told the audience.
He provided and example of zone pricing where one station would have one price and the same brand station, four miles away would be priced $.20 higher per gallon for the same gas. "We used to think that the operators of the stations were pocketing the extra $.20 profit, but found out that these operators have no control over the price they are forced to charge." Franchot said.
Charged with overseeing Maryland's economy, Franchot staunchly opposes slot machines and other gaming devices, labeling them another tax on Maryland's citizens. In an example used to clarify his position, Franchot related a verbal picture of Atlantic City, NJ where a block away from the legalized gambling casinos, the city lies in ruin.
The energetic Comptroller is dead serious about catching and prosecuting businesses and individuals that practice deception and fraud when tax reporting. His passion in this area is so strong that Franchot worked with the Federal Internal Revenue service to report tax frauds discovered during tax return revue. The reciprocal deal provides for Maryland to report any evidence to the IRS with respect to discovered fraud and visa versa.
"We originally thought this would generate about $10 million per year in recovered tax revenue, but the program is working so well, it appears that Maryland will benefit almost $20 million per year," Franchot stated.
Franchot takes pride in the repeal of the Computer Services Tax. He indicated that the efforts of the various chambers of commerce helped in that effort immensely. Because of the repeal and the loss of $200 million in tax revenue, the Comptroller has begun two blue ribbon panels to address revenue short falls.
"We need to develop a fiscally responsible tax strategy as opposed to the trend now in Annapolis of Ad Hoc tax legislation." He said the ill-fated Computer Services tax was a direct result of the lost hotel tax. "We also have to create a strategy for spending that makes fiscal sense," he said.
Franchot went on to explain that there are two Marylands: The one inside State Circle in Annapolis that allows people to talk and then doesn't listen to what they have to say. The other – the real Maryland lies outside of Annapolis; the citizens that pay taxes, use the services and generate the state's revenues. He feels these are the people he was elected to protect; all of whom are more important to the financial health of the state than the politicians charged with administering to its needs.
Franchot accepts all comments and encourages Maryland citizens and businesses to participate by visiting his website, www.marylandtaxes.com. "We'd love to hear from people," Franchot said as he left to go to his next meeting.

Dude. She's an orc. You're a human. Haven't you read the shattering? When Eitrigg is talking to Thrall about Jaina and finding a mate? How he tells Thrall that "It is a pity that she is not an orc, and so cannot be yours"??? Granted in this case, the roles are reversed, but the principle is the same.
Also, touch Aggra even once and she'll tear you a new one. And then Thrall will tear you a new one, then another one, and then ANOTHER one.

I don't think the comment was about physical incompatibility, as much as who they were, the leader of the Horde, the leader of Theramore Island.
Garona herself, before being retconned, was half-Orc, half-human.

Health Law

Oklahoma Poised to Prohibit Hydrocodone Refills
Health Law Update
Roger Morris
Lisa Davis
Shannon O'Boye
The Oklahoma Legislature passed a bill on May 16, 2013, banning refills on prescriptions for hydrocodone products. Hydrocodone is the narcotic pain killer in combination products such as Vicodin, Lortab, Norco, and Vicoprofen. The bill — H.B. No. 1783 — is now on Governor Mary Fallin's desk for consideration. If Gov. Fallin signs it, the law will go into effect on November 1, 2013.
Currently, prescriptions for hydrocodone, a Schedule III controlled substance, can be refilled five times within six months in Oklahoma and most other states. The original House version of the bill would have allowed for two refills, but a Senate amendment eliminated any refills.
This is part of a growing national trend. In February, New York State reclassified hydrocodone as a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning, among other things, that refills are not permitted. On the national level, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Food and Drug Administration are currently attempting to reclassify hydrocodone combination products as Schedule II drugs through an administrative process. And on a parallel legislative track, Congress is considering the "Safe Prescribing Act of 2013" (S. 621), which would amend the federal Controlled Substances Act to make hydrocodone combination products Schedule II drugs.
Oklahoma's bill does not reschedule hydrocodone; it simply prevents refills on prescriptions. But the impact on patients and prescribers would likely be similar — a patient would need to see a prescriber every month to get a new prescription, if needed. For pharmacists, while they would not be able to refill hydrocodone prescriptions, the bill does not require them to comply with other regulations relevant to Schedule II drugs, including inventory, record-keeping, and dispensing requirements.

Determinants of banks' engagement in loan securitization
AbstractThis paper provides new insights into the nature of loan securitization. We analyze the use of collateralized loan obligation (CLO) transactions by European banks from 1997 to 2004 and try to identify the influence that various firm-specific and macroeconomic factors may have on an institution's securitization decision. We find that not only regulatory capital arbitrage under Basel I has been driving the market. Rather, our results suggest that loan securitization is an optimal funding tool for banks with high risk and low liquidity. It may also have been used by commercial banks to indirectly access investment-bank activities and the associated gains.

Parental Guidance: Donating cellphones
Q. If I buy my child a new cellphone for the holidays, where can I donate his old one? How do I ensure personal data isn't passed on with the phone?
A. Several organizations collect phones:
* The Sierra Club's Long Island group sends phones to a company that either recycles components or donates the phones to nonprofits, says Jane Fasullo, outreach coordinator. Mail to Fasullo at 68 Old Field Rd., Setauket 11733. The goal is to eliminate environmental waste.

MORE: Day care finder | Playground search | 100 things to do with kids
CONNECT: Twitter | Facebook | Parent Talk blog
* Cell Phones for Soldiers: The phone is sold to a company called ReCellular, which recycles it, either by stripping it for parts or reselling it. Money from the sales buys calling cards; one phone generates about 60 minutes of talk time so soldiers overseas can call home, says Erin McCloskey, public relations manager. Obtain free shipping at cellphonesforsoldiers.com.
*Your wireless carrier may have a program. Verizon has Hopeline, which refurbishes phones and gives them to domestic violence victims and survivors, says Esmeralda Diaz Cameron. In some cases, it recycles components instead and donates money. Every Verizon store should have a Hopeline donation box.
When donating, delete your address book, call logs, messages, stored photos, videos and other media. If your phone has a SIM card, remove it. More information on erasing data is available on your phone manufacturer's website or user guide or by Googling "factory reset." You can also ask if the organization "scrubs" the phone for you.

I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. It has been a while since I have blogged. My apologizes for taking such a long break. I have been around taking care of many life events. Since the last time I blogged my sister is now in remission from cancer. I could not be more proud of her. Every day is still a struggle but she is overcoming them and so is our family.
Owl Necklaces continues to offer free shipping on owl necklaces. I am just an Illinois crafter who fell in love with owls and decided to open up this little store. Because I opened this shop to satisfy my own interest in owls and bird jewelry, I continue to keep the prices low. I have never raised a price since opening my shop and have never charged shipping on my little owl necklaces.
If anyone has any owl related questions please fell free to send me an email! email@example.com.
Thanks and happy owl-i-days!
Welcome to Owl Necklaces! Thank you all for your continued support of my little website.

I'm going on a long vacation Please let me know if you have any questions- Deb
Dear Owl Necklaces Fans,
As many of you know the cost to ship first class mail went up recently. To mail a simple letter it costs $0.46! As a courtesy to my owl necklace fans I have not increased the cost of my necklaces in the last three years even though the cost of my materials and postage has increased. In addition to that… if you live within the United States, shipping is still free! So shop handmade and enjoy your free shipping.
Dear Owl Necklaces Fans,
Spring is only weeks away but it is difficult to think about that right now since I'm snowed in! It has been snowing since 5 am this morning and has not stopped. It's pretty funny to watch my dogs go outside since the snow is about the same height as they are now.
As we get closer to St. Patrick's Day I wanted to blog my top picks for this green holiday! My top choice is of course…
Luck of the Irish Lucky Green Owl Necklace
Other great choices include:
Sweet Watermelon "Green" Owl Necklace
Happy Go Lucky Green Owl Necklace
Sustainable Green Owl necklace
Unnamed Green Lucky Owl Necklace
