Yeah, it's awful. I try to stay away from Twitter/Instagram after games exactly for this reason - people are hateful when they're anonymous and behind a keyboard, and seeing the vitriol in your own fanbase sucks. They're college kids. I'm sure some of us say this stuff in our living rooms, but it's a whole other snakelike evil thing to say something directly to them.

I don't think it's meaningless. Gardner has, more than once this season, acknowledged the hateful things people say to him/the team via social media. (Jeremy Gallon actually fights with people on Instagram, which. Stop that, Jeremy Gallon.) Anyway my point is, I'm sure the supportive stuff is at least nice to read.

Thanks. My demeanor wasn't aggressive, but I'd say yours was more than a little defensive. Always lovely talking to you gentlemen.
It's certainly possible he researched it. My concern lies mostly in the fact that soon nearly all of their time - and that's not an exaggeration - will be spent in class and at practice and games. You wouldn't get a dog in those conditions (well you might, but it wouldn't be fair to the dog), and a pig is arguably more work. I don't think it's an unfounded topic of conversation. I wanted to know if anyone shared those concerns. Apparently, the answer is no.

|I'm from Madison
and my entire family went to Wisconsin, so take this input for what it's worth (which may not be much). There aren't many people who are super interested in Darrell Bevell as a candidate. Most people I've spoken to would die for Chryst to come back and while he released a statement tonight about his "commitment" to the Pitt program, it seemed to me a carefully worded statement that did not at any point reaffirm his desire to stay there. (Apparently his buyout is substantial, not sure how much that matters.) Doeren is a popular choice but the ink isn't dry on his NC State contract; Diaco (Notre Dame's defensive coordinator) is a name I've also heard, and on various ESPN boards people have also suggested Pelini, though I really can't imagine that's a very realistic option.

Automated external defibrillators are the size of a laptop, cost an average of $2,500 and save lives.
When Utah State University basketball player Danny Berger collapsed during practice Dec. 4, assistant trainer Mike Williams used an AED to revive him.
Four days later, Berger walked out of the Intermountain Medical Center.
In Utah, the Jazz, Real Salt Lake, the Salt Lake Bees and every major university have AEDs available in case of a cardiac emergency involving athletes or fans.
Some high schools, however, aren't as well-equipped.
The Utah High School Activities Association does not have a policy mandating AEDs, according to assistant director Bart Thompson.
"It's something individual districts deal with," he said. "It's a district-by-district decision. ... We don't have a policy where we dictate to them."
Thompson "wouldn't hazard a guess" how many high schools don't have AEDs, but there are undoubtedly some.
At this point, he said, the UHSAA has acted only as a conduit between the districts and the manufacturers of the various brands of automated external defibrillators.
"We have put the districts into contact with the companies that provide them," Thompsom said. "... Those companies came to us — five or six years ago, maybe — and we have let the schools know they exist."
Even if only a handful of schools remain without AEDs, Jazz trainer Gary Briggs believes the number is too many.
A former chairman of the National Basketball Association Trainers Association, Briggs said "to have an athletic department and to have your students participating without access to an AED, that's like playing Russian roulette."
Briggs has been an NBA trainer for 31 years, including the past 13 in Utah. He started at the high-school level, however, and knows cost concerns can play into the decision-making process.
Briggs' solution?
"I would think," he said, "that every high school could have a fundraiser or get a donation from a local company to raise $2,500 and make an AED available at every sporting event. By not having one, you're just biding time until something happens."
The Jazz are well-prepared for a cardiac crisis. So are the state's largest universities.
During a Jazz home game, Briggs carries an automated external defibrillator. So does the attending ambulance crew. In addition, six AEDs are accessible throughout EnergySolutions Arena.
"The faster you get it on somebody," Briggs explained, "the likelihood you can save them increases tremendously."
According to Weber State University director of athletic communications Paul Grua, the school has placed four AEDs at Stewart Stadium, four at the Dee Events Center and three at Swanson Gym.
"We have one on each bench," Grua added, "and our trainers take one with them to every practice."
Briggs credits Paul Pepe, a Dallas doctor, for much of the NBA's emphasis for emergency cardiac care, which has become a focus in the past "five years, maybe 10."
Pepe helped persuade the administrators at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to make AEDs available to passengers and employees.
In the first year, the devices were used 10 times and nine lives were saved.
"Everybody in NBA, NFL, baseball and hockey has them," Briggs said. "Most colleges have them, too. And the airlines have started carrying them" on flights.
Because episodes like the one at Utah State can occur every day ... at any time ... any place.
"When a Danny Berger situation happens," Briggs said, "it makes it all worthwhile — whatever the cost."
Automated external defibrillators
These devices, which analyze the heart's rhythm for any abnormalities, are about the size of a laptop computer. If necessary, a defibrillator instructs first responders how to deliver an electrical shock to the victim, which may help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
How does an AED work?
Voice prompts guide first responders. After the machine is turned on, they are instructed how to apply two electrodes to the victim's chest. The AED monitors the heart rhythm. If a "shockable" rhythm is detected, the AED charges itself and instructs first responders to stand clear and press the shock button.

MCN says:
Motorcycling licence laws are due to be changed yet again in January 2013 and motorcyclists starting at the age of 17 could potentially have to take three separate motorcycle tests before they're allowed to ride an unrestricted motorcycle on the road.
This is what the new laws mean:
Anybody under the age of 19 and at least 17 years old must pass a...

Never understood why motorcycles have to suffer from Dracanion laws when car drivers get off scott free. I have no problem with limiting power to those under say 19 but why all the retests? Another nail in the coffin of motorcycling. Which in the end is really what the health n safety brigade want.

Rogerborg says:
Apologies if this appears twice.
DAS access to an unrestricted A (now aka A3) license will be at 24, not 25.
17 year olds won't have to sit a test, just do the CBT - which is training, not a test. That's been the DfT's position up to now, and I've seen nothing to suggest that it will be revoked. How would that even work? Write to everyone with a DL196 and tell them to tear it up?
It's bad for everyone involved in every way: road safety, cost, hassle, numbers getting into biking, legal hassles, the lot. I can't be arsed typing it all again, it's pearls before swine anyway.

Why the third test? It should be 17yrs or older CBT 125cc, 19yrs or older test, fail stuck on 125cc, pass restricted to 47bhp and after two yrs any bike you want job done.

It will be no good for motorcycling. Too many hoops to jump through. So instead of learning early and riding through their life, they'll wait until they're 40 (only time they'll be able to afford it) and start from there. Just like I did.
What about your car drivers? What about limiting their car's bhp until they 20? It's not always the biker who causes the accident, it's the car driver. More needs to be done to educate them too.

Fu*king stupid!
If you set out to design a system to kill motorcycling you probably could not have come up with anything better. This is descrimination, plain and simple. Two years on a 125 - bikes that have less presence on the road and can struggle to keep up with main road traffic. Oh yeah, that's the way to reduce accident statistics. Prats!

Why not restrict car drivers? If your under 21 your restricted to something like a 1.2L. I understand car insurance is expensive for younger drivers but money is all it takes.
Looking on the government website the other day as of 2013 age 24 is the max age limit for any category of licence. So as I see it bikers are definitely been prejudiced against.

I'm 29, and I've had a car licence since I was 17. I did a theory test for that, and have just had to do another one for two wheels.
I'll be doing my CBT for the third time next week (why do you forget basic training after two years, but not if you've passed your test?). Mod1 and Mod2 is going to cost me around £600 with training.
It's all paper work, tests, and time. I'm going to be no safer on the road than I am now (I will ride exactly the same way), I just want something with a little bit more power to handle motorways.
No winder the bike industry is in trouble. It's so hard to get in to it.

In theory, any 17 year old muppet can pass their car test and get on the roads and drive anything they want. A Bugatti Veyron with over 1000bhp - ok that's an extreme example but you see the point I'm trying to make. All this new regulation will serve to put even more people off biking. It's killing biking.

I think the idea is to kill biking. Conspiracy probably but the government get nothing from us. Free parking, we manage to evade practically everything and we come off worse statistically in accidents.
They're probably trying slowly to just kill it off because we cause nothing but an inconvenience to them.
Biking right now is a symbol of freedom, especially the custom world, and the new laws just highlight human craving for control.

have grandson, so much easier to store between visits
Have nieces that come to visit and need to store this in a studio...would be so convenient!
We would use this every single day with our 10-month-old son. Here's hoping!!!
I looked at this chair for about 8 months before I realized we'd have to go the IKEA route (which, all in all, wasn't a bad decision)... I'd just love to get my dining chair from out of the freezing garage at some point.
SO needed. Help a foster mom out!! :)
A new grandma needs this. We have year old twin boys and a 16 month old little girl...perfect! Plus this chair looks great!
This would be great for our little one on the way!
We go over to my mom's once a week for dinner, an hour away! Folding up her huge high chair is a pain and I always worry it might hit her (baby) on the way there, since it can't fit in the trunk. Please please please!!!
love this!! so need this for our squirmy toddler and the next one on the way!
This is perfect! My two year old doesn't fit in her highchair anymore!
Looks good as the next step for our 15-month-old. Way nicer than the Graco he's endured lo these many months.
This would be great for some friends that are expecting.
brilliant design concept!
My daughter and son-in-law have wanted to make sure we have things at our house to accommodate their baby (expected in January) this would be a great item for us to have here at our house for all the grands to come!
Perfect item for one of the grands!
Very cool
perfect for visiting grandma...
Would work perfectly and look fabulous when the younger set visits.
Yeah everybody wants one! Me, too. :)
I love how this is portable and folds flat.
Portability and design make this chair unique. . . a must have for us new 'rents, u know. Very useful and kinda neat looking.
Too cute. I'm tired of the old plastic cracking seat highchair. This is functional and trendy!
My daughter has used hers for the past 2 years, since she was 6 months old. Sure it is portable, and the grandparents don't need a high chair as we always bring ours. But the beauty of this chair is our daughter has always 'belonged' at the dinner table with us.
Neat concept for little one I babysit or my future grandbabies!
The "enter" button doesn't seem to work on this...
oops. I guess it does! sorry!
great high chair
this is a great design... but how does it stay up!?!
Perfect for my Godson.....
i can´t find the form to fill!!!! please i need one!!!
great idea for a young mom I know

Our Latest List of the Best Stocks to Buy Now Is Brimming with Tech Picks
Best stocks to buy for the week ending Sept. 5, 2014:Last week for Money Morning Members, we highlighted seven stocks - five of which hail from the profit-rich tech sector.
You can find all of last week's tips and recommendations here in our newest list of the best stocks to buy now…
semiconductor stocks
The Single Best Investment for the Semiconductor Boom
At first glance two of the major trends reshaping the semiconductor industry seem like polar opposites...
On the one hand, the industry is in the midst of a major boom. On the other, it's also contracting.
For tech investors these conflicting indicators raise two questions:
First, how is this contradiction possible?
Second, and more to the point, how can we make money from it?After looking at the trends, I've come up with a plan for us to outperform the market over the long term with one easy investment...
Stocks to Buy Now: Play This Sector Before "The Crowd" Catches On
The Nasdaq experienced a sell-off in March and April, and has since rebounded. But not every tech sector has rebounded completely, and that's brought us some great stocks to buy.
According to Money Morning's experts, the semiconductor industry has never looked healthier, but it still faced the brunt of the recent sell-off. That's why they're recommending semiconductor stocks while they're trading at discounted prices.But these stocks to buy won't be cheap for long. Get in on these profit plays before the crowds catch on...
Don't Miss This Sector in 2013
In one high-tech sector, the projections for 2013 are calling for across-the-board revenue growth of as much as 10% - and parts of it could advance at three times that pace.
Now, double-digit growth in a slow-growth economy is pretty great all by itself. But the fact that these stocks have actually been negatively correlated to the broader stock market means this is an investment that could also serve as a bit of a hedge against a drop in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
So if you are really concerned that U.S. stocks could sell off this year, this could be one investment that will provide actual growth - and act as a hedge against a market downturn.
I'm talking about semiconductors - the bedrock of modern electronics.
Just look at these forecast numbers... Read More...
Investing in Semiconductor Stocks: Three Chipmakers on the Upswing
Global semiconductor sales have been pretty listless lately, but new data suggests a turnaround is on the horizon for this sector.
In fact, one new forecast by research firm IDC predicts the rate of growth in the semiconductor sector could potentially double in the latter part of this year.
For semiconductor stocks, this newfound growth could provide a big lift in profits.
Even smaller chipmakers may have suitors knocking on their doors for takeovers as they look to increase their market share.
What does this mean for investors?
Now is the time to start looking for the next big winner in semiconductors.
Here's why.
Semiconductor Stocks in 2012According to IDC,semiconductor sales increased 3.7% to $301 billion last year thanks to increased orders for wireless-device chips.
But 2012 looks even better. The forecast has worldwide semiconductor sales increasing 6%-7%. This will come from declining customer inventories and the never-ending demand for smartphones, tablets and "iDevices."

By the late '80S, the career of veteran Ealing director Charles Crichton (Hue And Cry, The Lavender Hill Mob) seemed to be in terminal decline.
Since few of his post-Ealing movies had made much impact, he'd retreated into television.
From there a move into making corporate videos must have felt like the final downward step. But the company involved was John Cleese's Video Arts, and Cleese, an admirer of the older man's work, invited Crichton to direct a comedy script he'd written.
To placate the studio execs who questioned whether Crichton could direct comedy, Cleese promised to co-direct. But when the movie was finished he insisted on giving Crichton sole director credit. Cleese had made a shrewd choice.
A Fish Called Wanda, with its ill-assorted band of crooks, its central portrait of respectability undermined by larcenous urges and its running theme of double-dealing and treachery, crossesThe Lavender Hill Mob with The Ladykillers – and adds a lavish helping of sex and violence that would surely have alarmed strait-laced Ealing boss Michael Balcon.
But had Ealing comedy survived Balcon's death and lived on into the '80s, A Fish Called Wanda is probably just what it would have looked like – which, of course, made Crichton the ideal man to direct it.
The action kicks off with a two-minute near-wordless sequence of a jewel heist, executed with an energy and economy of cutting to remind us that, before he took up directing, Crichton was reckoned one of the sharpest editors in the business.
But the jewels are merely – as Hitchcock would say – the MacGuffin. The black-comic heart of AFCW is the tangled intrigue of double- and triple-crosses, the scams and deceits, the seductions and betrayals that play out within its fractious Anglo-American criminal gang.
The film gets much of its comic mileage from playing off national stereotypes: the Brits uptight and emotionally constipated, the Yanks uninhibited and freewheeling.
Batting for the UK are gang boss George (Tom Georgeson), in a permanent state of near-volcanic rage and suspicion, and his animal-loving sidekick Ken (Michael Palin), afflicted with a stutter so severe as to make King George VI sound like a miracle of fluency.
Pitching for the US are sexy, protean Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis), a femme as fatale as they come (which she does, whenever a lover talks to her in a foreign language), and her 'brother' (in fact lover) Otto (Kevin Kline), a hair-trigger psycho with an IQ well down in the lowest reaches.
Wanda - who's having an affair with George, while denying it to the pathologically jealous Otto - is plotting with Otto to steal the loot from George after shopping him to the cops.
Which they do, only to find that George, mistrustful as ever, has shifted the loot (see what we mean about 'tangled'?).
So Wanda makes a play for George's stuffy defence lawyer Archie Leach (Cleese), hoping George will confide in the barrister where the jewels are hidden.
Archie, stuck with a termagant wife (Maria Aitken) and bratty daughter (Cleese's real-life daughter Cynthia), is a pushover for Wanda's brash transatlantic charms. ('Archie Leach', incidentally, was the real name of Bristol-born Cary Grant.)
The gentle Ken, meanwhile, is charged with rubbing out the sole witness, an old lady (Patricia Hayes) who can identify George at the scene of the crime.
The cast is a joy. Having seen Jamie Lee Curtis as a spirited hooker in John Landis' Trading Places, Cleese realised that the scream queen could play comedy, and gave her full scope for a performance of wittily manipulative sensuality, aiming her cleavage at susceptible males like a lethal weapon. As the deranged, Nietzsche-obsessed Otto ("Don't call me stupid!"), Kline deservedly picked up a Best Supporting Oscar.
Cleese is on top Fawlty Towers form in his portrayal of fragile pomposity, and Palin's descent into crazed desperation – paralleled by his physical deterioration – is perfectly gauged. (Check out his manic cackle of glee when he finally achieves his goal.)
The only small disappointment is that the two ex-Pythons have just a single brief scene together. And shortly before the end, a young Stephen Fry pops up in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment as another of Otto's victims.
Cherishable scenes? There's almost too many to choose from.
There's Archie, stark-bollock-naked with his underpants on his head, declaiming in Russian while Wanda writhes orgasmically on the floor.
Or Otto, having tied Ken up and shoved a chip up each nostril, further tormenting him by chomping his way through a tankful of his beloved tropical fish. (Yes, the prettiest of them's named for Wanda; Ken's as besotted as every other male in the film.)
Or Otto's throwaway line, just post-heist, "I love robbing the English – they're so polite!"
Cleese's instincts were thoroughly justified. A Fish Called Wanda scored a worldwide smash-hit and a stack of awards, with Crichton nabbing an Oscar nomination for Best Director.
There were rumours he might helm a sequel, but the 78-year-old elected to live out his remaining decade in comfort on his generous share of the proceeds.
He was entitled; few veteran directors have gone out on such a glorious last hurrah.

BOUNDARY COUNTY, Idaho-- Scammers have struck Boundary County posing at the Publisher's Clearing House, and look to rip off local residents.
The plot starts with a phone call from a very professional sounding person claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House, according to authorities. The crooks then attempt to get the victim to share personal information.
Publisher's Clearing House never contacts winners by telephone.
Officials warn anyone who receives a call from a distant relative or sweepstakes organization to be very cautious of what they share.
Authorities asked victims to report phony calls to its website in an effort to catch the people responsible.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to use a live-input, low-frequency sound to trigger a MIDI clip to start playing. Then, after this MIDI clip has looped for a while, I'd like to use the sound of a person saying "Shhhh!" to stop the MIDI clip.
I've set up two audio tracks with input coming from my laptop's built-in microphone. The first of these tracks is filtering out all high and mid frequencies and the second track is filtering out all the lows/mids. I have a M4L Envelope follower at the end of the effect-chain on each of these tracks. I'm hoping to use the Envelope Followers to start and stop, respectively, the MIDI clip (which is triggering sounds in a Drum Rack). Anyone have some insight?

Creating beneficial backlinks on your web page will help to generate customers, enhance rankings with the search engines to your internet page, and provide you with, what could be the most important factor of them all, much more subscriptions on your newsletters and mailing lists which in turn equate to quite a few far more sales. But, what precisely are backlinks and the way do they essentially effort?
Backlinks are rather often described as votes in your internet page. If it helps, you're able to compare it as being similar to how American Idol works, the more votes a contestant gets, the better it is usually for them and the greater they continue to get will meen that they eventually have the chance to win. The same applies to your internet sites, the more people today that like your blog, the more popular it becomes and the more beneficial to searchers it is usually deemed by the lookup engies who will rank your website higher given that of this.
However, there may be something that you just should know, not every link will get you the results that you simply want; therefore, it's always crucial which you go about creating the most effective backlinks possible, they're generally from locations that are from the same area of interest as your website and that carry 'authority' during the eyes from the search engines.
Any time you build a hyperlink on an internet page that has almost nothing to try and do using your niche then you definitely will not likely produce the levels of visitors that may be possible if it was on a topic related website; since it is quite unlikely that a man or woman visiting a fashion website is not going to be interested inside of your mechanic web page; therefore its vital that you simply set up backlinks where by they are most beneficial.
Developing wonderful, high quality backlinks does not happen overnight and there's no shortcuts when creating back links. Any time you begin putting together backlinks, you need to learn that it really should be in the form of the campaign and that you'll find seven vital things that you have to know when putting together superb backlinks for your personal site.
Right here will be the High 7 crucial things to learn that will eventually lead to owning an effective page:
. The foremost imperative matter that will separate your internet site from the many other individuals is it is content. You might want to ensure that your content is fine and from the preferred superior quality, and most importantly…it requirements to be UNIQUE, in other words, it happens to be not being found anywhere else to the website. It should be grammatically correct and totally free from spelling and typing errors. High excellent content will, in time, crank out high good quality inbound links.
. Soon after you happen to be certain that the content on your internet site is as close to perfection as you would like, then you definately may want to commence engaging in article merchandising. Your content articles should have an attention grabbing headline and the body from the article really should broaden to the headline. A good suggestion for articles for marketing and advertising could be recommendations, clearing up myths, or giving solutions to special problems. Do not sell with the article and only talk about your website while in the resource box. These articles can then be submitted to Ezine article and other article directories for use in other publications.
. The ideal way so that you can produce backlinks to your internet page can be to get these backlinks from some major directories these types of DMOZ, Yahoo Business directories, and Internet business. Backlinks from these directories will quickly crank out traffic for your page and boost your rankings. You will have the option of joining many of these sites for at no cost but it is possible to also determine to produce a payment for quicker inclusion and this will produce backlinks, and traffic, a whole lot quicker.
. You must also use specialized directories that are related with the niche which you are in; subscribe to local directories like Google places and Bing local.
. Create internal linking from articles on your blog. Encourage readers to read a great deal more content articles, this will boost the position of the internet site and for each of the posts also.
. Social selling has become very popular over the previous few years and so they can create popularity for the webpage also. Use social networks which include Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook to announce anything new on your website… and as a final point,
. Become a guest writer on weblogs in the same niche. If you ever write fantastic content on other popular weblogs folks will arrive to check out your website to check out what you must present.
The final matter you have to preserve in thoughts is the fact that, so as for you to build the most impressive backlinks for your blog, you'll need to undertake it consistently.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state government will help trucking firms and local communities purchase almost 100 vehicles fueled by natural gas and propane.
The idea is to encourage the private sector to add more such energy-saving vehicles – and create stations to fuel those vehicles.
The State Administration Department's energy office announced 29 grants Tuesday to help buy 81 natural gas-powered vehicles, plus 18 with propane.
Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch says the demand is increasing for alternative fuels. He says it's vital to have an infrastructure in place to expand the use of those fuels in the Badger State.
Over the next three years, the energy office hopes to help establish 200 filling stations for compressed natural gas, to serve 15,000 mid-to-heavy duty trucks which use the fuel.
The Wisconsin Clean Transportation Program is helping the state fund the initial grants.
The program received $15 million in federal stimulus funds in 2009.

Think Your Kids Aren't Sexting? Think Again!
Everyone's heard about the dangers of sexting -- sending nude pictures and videos over the Internet -- but no one thinks that their kid would be dumb enough to do it. Well, they are, and they do, and it can change their lives forever.
Internet Safety Specialist Lori Getz: Do you remember a time in your life when you would have done anything to get the attention of a boy? Spending hours on your hair and makeup, making sure to stand, dress, giggle, and talk exactly the way you thought he would have wanted you to? Do you remember a time when everything you did and said felt awkward, but if the boy you liked thought it was "rad," then you did, too?
Now imagine you are growing up in 2009 ... where all of these insecurities are caught on camera and your most private moments are uploaded for the world to see. This is what our children face today.
"I thought it was the end of the world," says 15-year-old Emily [all names have been changed to protect teens' identities], as she told me the story of how a naked video of her ended up all over the Internet.
Emily met David at summer camp when she was 13. She was shy and a little insecure about her looks, so she was thrilled when this 16-year-old boy noticed her. They were friendly all summer, but their relationship grew after camp ended. David contacted Emily through MySpace, and she added him on her page. David became more forthright about his feelings for Emily online, calling her "babe" in comments and private messages, and talking about how "hot" she was.
"To me, the word 'babe' is a couples' word," said Emily. She believed his intent was to develop a real relationship. After many online exchanges (but nothing face-to-face, as Emily knew her parents would not approve of her dating an older boy), things got more intense.
"He wanted me to send him a naked video of myself ... I was embarrassed ... I didn't want to do it, so I sent him a picture of my butt.... I thought giving him less than what he really wanted was OK."
After she sent the picture, David began pressuring Emily for more. He said the pictures of her butt made him so horny and he needed to see the rest of her. He talked about how beautiful she was and made her feel very special. Reluctantly, Emily took her family's camcorder, and videotaped herself dancing topless. She then uploaded the video and sent it off to David.
David insisted that he was not receiving the video and talked Emily into resending it through several different applications. Emily used 4 different sites to get the video to David before she finally gave up, thinking it never went through. David seemed angry at the time and stopped messaging Emily for a while.
Months went by and occasionally David would message her through MySpace asking her to hang out. Emily would ignore the messages or just simply decline. Then one day, Emily got a phone call from her best friend.
"You made a porno and you didn't tell me!" said the best friend. Emily had no idea what her friend was talking about. The girl explained that she had opened her Facebook page earlier that day to find a link in her Honesty Box with a message attached: "You think you know your best friend? Your best friend's a slut!"
The link took her to an amateur pornography website where her best friend was dancing topless in front of the camera. Emily was mortified. This was the video she had sent to David.
"My whole high school knew about it," said Emily. "I was stared at, whispered about ... people never would have guessed that I would have done that. But what was really killing me was thinking about what would happen if my parents found out."
Emily jumped every time the phone rang at her house. She was having little panic attacks thinking about the day her parents would discover their perfect daughter was a disappointment. "It was interfering with my life ... I couldn't trust anyone. I had a huge wall up," Emily admitted.
After months of closing herself off from both her family and friends, Emily finally realized she had to tell someone. She first contacted me after her best friend heard me speak at her high school. Emily needed to tell someone, and I was far enough removed from the situation that she thought it would be safe. I finally convinced Emily to talk to her school counselor, who then spoke with her parents (with Emily's permission).
"My mom hugged me," Emily repeated three times as she told me the story. "I expected my parents to be very disappointed, not talk to me, to cry -- maybe they did, but not in front of me. If anything, they were upset that I had tried to protect them instead of them protecting me."
Emily's story is not uncommon. Teens today do not understand the ramifications of Sexting, or Sexcasting. Sexting is sending nude photos via text messages, and Sexcasting is the act of sending nude photos or video via webcasting. No matter what you call it, when children participate in this act, it's child pornography. Some children who have participated in sexting have been prosecuted for the production and distribution of child pornography and are now registered sex offenders.
Other consequences of sexting can range from a few stares and malicious gossip to suicide. At the end of the interview, Emily said to me, "I'm lucky this happened to me in L.A. Everyone is so caught up in their own stuff, no one really gave me that hard of a time about it. Did you hear about the girl at Syracuse?" Emily was referring to Jessica Logan, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, who was attending college at Syracuse. While in high school, Jessica had sent nude photos of herself to her boyfriend that were then circulated around her high school. After returning home from college for a friends' funeral, the pressure became too much and Jessica hung herself in her parents' home.
When I asked Emily why she sent the video in the first place, she stopped and thought for a moment. "I don't know really," she said. "He kept telling me how hot I was. Sometimes he talked about what we would do if we were actually together. I wasn't ready for that. I thought this would satisfy him."
Today, after talking to a counselor and her friends about what happened to her, Emily feels a sense of obligation to let other girls know how important it is to think before you send. "I had to stop blaming myself in order to face what I did," she says. "I made a mistake and the worst part was trying to keep a secret that everyone already knew about. I was manipulated. He could have fooled anyone."
I asked Emily what she thought could be done to help other young people from falling into the same trap.
"It's an issue that needs to be talked about as soon as middle school," she says. "And our parents don't understand. They are so overwhelmed with the technology, so they just don't talk about it. We're given condoms in health class and told how to use them, but no one talks about this. Do we have to make the mistake in order to learn about it?"
Emily and her parents contacted the local police department and they worked diligently to remove as much of the video as they could find. The case against David as the distributor of child pornography is still open. Emily has found comfort in the fact that she no longer needs to keep this from her parents. She is now focusing on her poetry, painting, drawing, and running track.

We.. sent a letter to cancel the order via recorded delivery. Write this above the "Dear Sir/Madam" : "To whom it may concern, the distance selling regulations 2000". Photocopy it and keep a copy. Companies have upto 30 days to refund you from the date on the letter. After 30 days we asked our bank for a visa chargeback. If they refuse to help, contact the financial ombudsman who will order the bank to help you. The bank may ask to see the cancellation letter (copy). Some on here have applied for a chargeback immediately and succeeded but I would still do the cancellation letter. In our case furn247 denied recieving the letter even though we had proof - for they had to sign for it as it was sent by recorded mail (and we could see the signature via the online tracking! !!). I hope you get your money back soon. Be polite but forceful with your bank. They are reluctant to help. Call the ombudsman if they refuse to help. Good luck.

Trading standards are useless I wouldn't bother. Focus on getting your money back instead. If you paid by visa debit you can ask your bank for a "chargeback". If they refuse to help contact the "financial ombudsman" and they will write to your bank demanding they help you. It takes several weeks for the bank to refund you. If the bank drags it's heels again, go back to the ombudsman.You have to push hard and perservere until the bank caves in and refunds you. I would also cancel your card incase furn247 attempt to take more cash out. Your bank can still issue the refund on the new card. Good luck.

I ordered a cabin bed for my son and a delivery date was agreed. They were extremely pleasant at this point! The delivery date came and the bed was not delivered. After several phone calls it was established that the bed was out of stock and they did not know when it would be in stock again.I asked for a refund and this was agreed but I was told this would be done after 28 days. However no refund was provided. My credit card company have provided a refund for me and they are pursuing a claim… Read Full Review

Sorry to hear you have been affected by this Fools And Horses outfit I was also affected a couple of years back by these pathetic people but don't give up if you have paid by credit card contact your card company and get them involved I got a full refund from my card company It took about 6 weeks but still got my £299 back I totally agree with you on how can they still be trading, it seems they buy fire and water damaged stock As I said don't give up hope it works out for you.
Written on: 06/01/2014
Thanks.. yes we are going down the credit card route as apparently if they are to give us a refund they want 40 for postage and an admin fee of 4% ...
so basically they deliver dodgy goods (And i mean dodgy, i wouldnt let a dog sleep on this bed, let alone a child)
and then charge extra for the legal duty they are ignoring..
Not to mention if we did pay this money then there is no guarentee we would even get a refund ...

Now its in the hands of our lawyer… Read Full Review

Deloitte's Insights for C-suite executives and board members provide information and resources to help address the challenges of managing risk for both value creation and protection, as well as increasing compliance requirements.
The persistence of labor abuse indicates the complexity of the problem and its resistance to many of the solutions currently in place. In a new report published in Deloitte Review, the authors consider current and emerging solutions to this global challenge and suggest that organizations focus on taking incremental steps that improve the status quo without losing sight of the longer-term goal of making workplaces safe, fair and humane.
The latest issue of Deloitte's Heads Up discusses findings from an analysis of registrants' Year 1 filings under the SEC's final rule on conflict minerals. In light of recent legal developments leading up to the first filing deadline, the issue also provides observations and insights for registrants to consider related to Year 1 reporting trends, as well as recommendations for registrants as they seek to enhance their conflict minerals due diligence processes and reporting practices for Year 2.
In an essay by Michael Raynor, director, Deloitte Services LP, he asks whether leaders are making mistakes in their pursuit of perfection. He considers two situations to support his conclusion, one involving of a global multibillion-dollar company and another involving a six-person start-up that had yet to see its first dollar of revenue. In short, says Raynor, it is better to be approximately right than precisely wrong.
Rather than making large investments with the hope of eliminating risk, companies can make supply chains more resilient to the infinite number of risks that may become realities by making targeted investments in areas that proactively mitigate risk, such as enhancing visibility and collaborating with suppliers.
Food withdrawals, rejections and recalls cost the food industry billions of dollars annually, and some of the costs stem from failure of food safety and quality assurance programs to mitigate risks. Food quality assurance programs that reflect a comprehensive understanding of food-quality systems across the supply chain may not only help companies recognize and prepare for risks, but also gain a competitive advantage by increasing customers' trust in their brand.
It is tempting to dismiss the maker movement as a fad. However, companies would be well served to find ways to participate, learn and perhaps shape the movement. While it will bring disruption, it also will provide opportunities to boost sensing capabilities, leverage platforms for R&D and reimagine the enterprise as a platform.
Research shows that managers make flawed decisions when faced with supply chain disruption. With U.S. companies holding some $1.7 trillion in inventory, such decisions can be costly to company performance. A new study discusses the likely impact of leadership's risk assessments on their business's operations and why management should consider enhanced process- and technology-based solutions to improve decision-making.
As retailers expand digital opportunities through social media, omni-channel shopping and emerging technologies, they will need to contemplate an entirely new set of risks. Learn how a digital risk framework and other risk management tools can help an organization to anticipate and manage new challenges and free up resources and time to focus on the opportunities presented by the unfolding digital landscape.
Supply chains are beginning to incorporate visualization tools that harness crowdsourcing, social media, analytics and other capabilities to help organizations map and visualize their increasingly complex global supply chains. Learn what challenges need to be addressed, such as poor data quality, as well as opportunities that the new technologies can bring.
Deciding where to locate production facilities is a critical and costly decision for companies—one that can have lasting implications on a company's top and bottom lines. In this article from Deloitte Review, the authors challenge organizations to think beyond standard considerations, such as labor costs, taxes and real estate, and consider the impact location decisions may have on future research and development capabilities.

Chris Rice Wraps Up Rocketown Years with "Snapshots"
- Wednesday, April 20, 2005
Artist: Chris Rice
Title: "Snapshots: Live and Fan Favorites"
Label: Rocketown
Go ahead, ask: Didn't Chris Rice put out a "best of" compilation less than a year ago? Yes, he did. "Short Term Memories" was a disc of fan favorites released last June. Now, on its heels, comes a second collection to wrap up Rice's Rocketown years as he moves toward an indie career. Not many artists can field enough quality tunes for one, let alone two career-spanning compilations; but, then again, not many artists are Chris Rice. All his best attributes— gentle, James Taylor-esque voice, intelligent lyrics and knack for melody — are here, though this second collection is a little more disjointed than the first.
Six live tracks form the disc's centerpiece, most from the "Deep Enough to Dream" era. Hardcore Chris Rice fans will appreciate these — particularly the sweet, intimate "Big Enough" — but overall there's little to differentiate them from the already excellent studio versions. Oddly enough, his renowned live song about hallelujah-singing Looney Tunes, "Cartoons," is included even though it was on "Short Term Memories." Perhaps that's the one Chris Rice song no one can live without.
The rest of the disc includes songs Rice contributed to compilations, two of his piano instrumentals and four cuts from his more recent studio albums. "Billy Joe McGuffrey," the children's song from the "Jonah" movie soundtrack, is a lot of fun, and "Nothin'" from the "Exodus" worship album approaches the sublime. For first-time listeners, "Short-Term Memories" is probably a better place to start, but eager Rice fans won't want to miss this while they wait for his next move.

Beef Today Editors
Cattle are sold by the pound, but the price per pound can make as much difference as total weight, when it comes to the bottom line.
That's why producers who aim for profit weigh everything that goes into that price.
The Choice-Select spread has been a leading indicator for decades, but a current analysis suggests it can mislead if taken at face value. A lot more commodity Choice came on just as the economy was closing the menu on "middle-meat" steaks cut from that commodity pool, which no longer represents much of an advantage over Select.
Producers today must lift their gaze to the relative values of premium Choice and Prime beef if they want to monitor the market, says Mark McCully, Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) assistant vice president for production.
McCully recently published a white paper entitled "Trends in the Choice-Select Spread and Implications to Cattle Producers." He explains that spread is simply the difference in price between the boneless beef cutout from a USDA Select carcass and one that is graded Choice.
"But the difference may not be as simple as it first seems," he adds. "Most of the upper two-thirds Choice beef is committed to premium branded programs, and much of the low-Choice product is also branded. That means it is separate from the USDA-reported price, which is now derived from the 'leftovers,' a little more than 15% of all Choice grade cattle."
Why is that an issue? Traditionally, the market relied on the published Choice-Select spread as a barometer and a price-discovery point in value-based marketing, McCully says. More than 60% of fed cattle today sell on some type of grid, formula or other method based partly on this spread.
In the last decade, the Choice-Select spread has been wider than $20 to slightly negative for a few weeks. On average, marketers have assumed that a spread greater than $8 per cwt. means strong demand for high-quality beef. On the other hand, a spread of less than $3 per cwt. was thought to signify weaker demand for quality.
"Those assumptions don't consider all factors in the equation," McCully points out. They don't take into account the quantity or the makeup of "Choice." Not only is commodity Choice less worthy of a premium over Select, but there has been a rapid increase in its supply. USDA reports show that the percentage of fed cattle grading Choice has trended higher for nearly four years.
It's no coincidence that the Choice-Select spread also has been on a declining trend since 2006. But that doesn't mean consumers are turning away from highly marbled beef, McCully stresses.
Correlation analysis suggests the sole demand drivers of the Choice-Select spread are the Choice rib and loin prices. And for the past two years, an economic recession has curtailed dining out at the midlevel restaurants that feature such cuts.

None of us took pics but we went shooting early this morning. Guns shot were--
Marlin 1881 in 40-60
Ruger 10/22
Ruger SR-22 Rifle
Sig Mosquito
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
I was hoping to get some shooting in today, but it was pouring rain today and of course the local indoor range is closed.
Rained all day here, too.
No offense and none taken (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄
Has not rained here at all for three or four months.
I didn't take any pics but hopefully I can describe it well enough.
About 1:00 one of the neighbors came by and we were shooting the bull in the reloading shed and he asks if we were going to do any shooting. So we gathered up some guns and hit our range! he wanted to try out the Casull, so we brought that, three Glocks, a couple of .357s and one .223 bolt action Savage. Once we got set up we heard another neighbor was shooting, so we opened up with a response, though somewhat less than what we had brought. They heard us and responded with another barrage, so we loaded up everything and all 4 of us opened up with a fusillade (I was double-fisting it with two Glock 22s, both with 15 round mags). Then it sounds like they brought out some Tannerite. Went back and forth for awhile before we decided to head in because it was too hot.
Later this evening, after dark, we could hear them shooting again, so we set up our cannon (actually an old oxygen cylinder that has the bottom cut out of it), dropped in some M-100s. I'll be damned if the shock wave didn't come flying out of the barrel and hit a tree like a cannonball-- and the tree was a good 40 or 50 yards off! I figured there had to be something in the barrel, so we tried another firecracker and again we could see the shock wave hit the tree! Made a Hell of a boom too.
I think we won.

Protect yourself, family from West Nile Virus
Coastal Georgia residents are tired of hearing about what they need to do to defend themselves against mosquitoes and mosquito bites, but it's too important an issue to let go without reminders from time to time. These insects can kill and have, in fact, in Brunswick and the Golden Isles, as well as in other parts of the state and nation. All the rain the area has had in recent weeks spells trouble, particularly in neighborhoods where residents are ignoring the advice of health officials and other experts about making sure nothing is collecting and holding water on their property. These can be prime breeding places for the species of mosquitoes that can transmit West Nile Virus and other nasty maladies to human beings. Most can contract the virus and not ever know it. Others, though are more vulnerable. These include the elderly and young children. It only takes a few minutes to check the premises for pools of water after a rain. These can be unused flower pots, bird baths and pet bowls, anything that allows water to stand for any length of time. Make sure there's no pooling from irrigation sprinklers too. Experts say the entire state can expect a major breakout of mosquitoes in the coming weeks. Fortunately, most will be a species that does not carry potentially deadly viruses. Residents in areas where the virus has struck, though, should brace for the worst. Already this year there has been a human case of West Nile in Brantley County, just west of here. That means the virus is present in the region. Savannah found mosquitoes that carried it. Don't take chances. Try to limit time outdoors to late morning and afternoons. Dusk and dawn are feeding times for this insect, so try to stay indoors during those hours. As an extra precaution, apply insect repellent with DEET and wear long sleeves and long pants, when feasible to do so. Play it safe. Mosquitoes have claimed enough lives in Glynn County in the 21st century.

TOMAHAWK (WAOW) - Nick Hagar is well aware of wrestling's rare company. Just nine Wisconsin grapplers have ever won four state titles. So he'd round out that top ten.
Nick Hagar: "Definitely being a part of that elite club is a huge deal to me."
As a freshman he saw himself as the underdog. The next two visits he felt he had more to prove.
Hagar is driven by reaching goals. Whether it's wrestling or running cross country, anything he sets out to achieve he goes full force.
Nick Hagar: "I think to accomplish great things you have to set goals. The smallest goals to the biggest goals, it doesn't matter."
Tomahawk Co-Head Coach Bob Skubal: "I think the ability to always want to learn, to strive to learn. And never take anything for granted."
In a sport where it's mano y mano on the mat... Hagar credits a full support system that includes older brother Zach... a state champion himself.
Nick Hagar: "I've got a great, close group of friends on the wrestling team and my family really sticks beside me the whole way."
Hagar's 196 wins are the most in state history. And he'll move into the division one collegiate ranks on a full scholarship ride at South Dakota State.
Hagar: "It'll be pretty sad after my match whether I win, lose or draw. It doesn't matter. I think wrestling in high school is special, especially for a team like this. There's so much love and friendship and memories to go around."
