Another in the my line of semi-humorous internet safety posters. Remember no one wants to date an ugly dog.

Back on the Internet Safety Bandwagon
I'm back working on Internet safety stuff. Here are some ideas I'm playing with on searching and source validity. If you see anything I'm missing etc. let me hear it.
This is kind of a PR poster for classroom/hallway display. I'm aiming to get students creating them as part of art class or a contest of some sort.

This is more for teacher use (and a little less fun). We're trying to create simple reference sheets for key computer activities so that Internet safety is covered throughout the year.

iQuiz and iQuiz Maker (Updated)
iTunes has released a new game for iPods called iQuiz (available through the iTunes store). Aspyr is now offering a new free quiz maker for Macs (PC to come). Could be an interesting review tool. You could have students produce questions and answers and create a review quiz from the best submissions.

The Director's Bureau Special Projects Idea Generator
So The Director's Bureau Special Projects Idea Generator generates fairly random three word idea strings like the one above – Do-it-yourself levitating animal.
This is one of those things that I'd love to use in the classroom because it's so simple and fun. It's also flexible in terms of how big or small you'd like it to be. It could kill 10 minutes or be part of a whole unit. This particular generator isn't really fit for student use because it'll throw in "erotic" and some other iffy stuff but the teacher could spin the wheel a few times and come up with a great phrase for each week. I'd probably screen grab it or make something visual for the word results- as the packaging does matter.
It can then be use for a variety of things. It'd be pretty cool right off as a creative writing or journal prompt but where things would be neat would be in tweaking it to focus on what you're covering at the time. For instance-
- Describe the do-it-yourself levitating animal kit using every word from this week's vocabulary list
- Write an ad for the do-it-yourself levitating animal creation kit using the bandwagon technique
- Write two responses to seeing an ad for the do-it-yourself levitating animal kit. In the first one respond in the voice of an excited kid ("I've never been satisfied with the levitating animals I got from the store.") and in the second respond to the ad in the voice of an irritated parent. ("Just what I need around the house- more levitating animals!")
- It'd be fun for poetry as well. It could serve as the end of your poem or the first line etc.
You could have contests where the kids vote on the best one or have a whole series where they complete one of each style by the end of the semester. It'd be a great way to get kids thinking creatively and interacting with one another's ideas.

Wiki Testimony
As part of our parent training we're having teachers and ITRTs speak about powerful ways they've been able to use technology in support of 21st century skills. This is Ken Kellner's comments on how using a wiki changed his classroom (6th grade history).
He does a good job and conveys a lot of excitement. If you see him jumping and twitching it's because I edited like crazy to get the movie down to about a minute and a half. Deep breaths and dramatic pauses were not allowed.

The Florida Bar
An attorney has neither the duty nor the right to report to a grievance committee the ethics violation of another attorney, when knowledge of the violation was derived from a confidence received from a client during the course of an attorney-client relationship. The prohibition would continue to apply if the same violation was later uncovered by the attorney during discovery taken incident to litigation.
November 9, 1977
November 9, 1977
However, the attorney would have to reveal such a confidence if required by law to do so or if the information clearly established that the other attorney had perpetrated a fraud upon a tribunal.
Opinion: 75-19
Vice Chairman Waas stated the opinion of the committee:
The essence of the inquiring attorney's question is whether a lawyer has either a duty or a right to report to a grievance committee an ethics violation of another lawyer when knowledge of such violation was derived from confidential information determined from the inquiring lawyer's client in the course of the attorney-client relationship and, based upon that information, was also determined by the inquiring attorney subsequently during discovery in a litigated case. The client refuses to consent to such reporting, and the inquiring attorney believes that divulgement of the information to the grievance committee would be to the detriment of his client by creating a situation in which the other lawyer's financial ability to pay a promissory note to the client would be at least hampered; that note was given in settlement of a claim by the client against the other lawyer in connection with the handling of which the inquiring lawyer obtained the information in the course of his representa tion of the client.
The Committee answers in the negative.
DR 4-101(B) provides that a lawyer shall not reveal confidences of his client "[e]xcept when permitted under DR 4-101(C) and (D)." Under DR 4-101(C), "[a] lawyer may reveal ... [c]onfidences ... when permitted under disciplinary rules." For the reasons stated below we do not feel that the disciplinary rules contain such permission in the context of the inquiry.
The disciplinary rules demonstrate that only in narrowly prescribed areas will the shield protecting the attorney-client privilege and confidence of a client be lifted. One example is set out in Opinion 75-19, in which the Committee said an attorney has a duty to disclose information about perjury even though the information was received in confidence from a client.
DR 4-101, stating when an attorney shall reveal confidences, refers only to the attorney so doing when required by law or when necessary to prevent an intended crime. Under the instant facts, there is not shown to be any applicable requirement of law or intended crime.
This inquiry involves not only the proper treatment of confidential information under the provisions of DR 4-101 referred to above, but also the proper treatment of such information under DR 1-103 when it provides the basis for a lawyer's possible reporting of a violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility to a grievance committee. "Confidence" is defined by DR 4-101(A) to be the same as privileged information, which is referred to in DR 1-103(A).
DR 1-103(A), as to a lawyer's handling of information for purposes of reporting an ethical violation, states that he should reveal the information, and so report the violation, when the information is un privileged. We read DR1-103(A) to mean that a lawyer should not report ethical violations when his knowledge of same is gained from privileged , i.e., confidential, information, and we find nothing in DR4-101 to the contrary relative to the facts of this inquiry.
Accordingly, under both DR 4-101(B) as to the handling of confidential, i.e., privileged, information and DR 1-103(A) as to reporting an ethical violation, the inquiring lawyer is prohibited from reporting to a grievance committee the information generally described in this inquiry.
The fact that the information is uncovered during subsequent discovery incident to litigation does not alter the Committee's opinion. In this context one cannot do indirectly what cannot be done directly. In this instance, the attorney may not use the attorney-client relationship to discover or verify information initially as a result of confidences shared during that relationship and then disclose same on the basis that the information was not obtained as result of that relationship. Cf. doctrine as to inadmissibility of derivative evidence indirectly obtained through the use of evidence illegally obtained. Accordingly, we do not consider the information which is the subject of this inquiry to have been converted into the status of "secret," as opposed to "confidential," information within DR-101(A), defining "secret" information to include information which is other than confidential information and which is gained in the professional relationship. Therefore, we do not reach any ques tion as to whether "secret" information concerning an attorney's conduct may or must be disclosed to a grievance committee under DR 1-103(A), which requires disclosure of "unprivileged" information, or any question as to any interrelationship in this regard of DR 1-103(A) with DR4-101(B), (C), and (D), which refer to disclosure of both confidential and secret information. DR1-103(A), as noted above, is the Disciplinary Rule most specifically aimed at the reporting of unethical conduct to a grievance committee.
However, if the information concerns conduct of the type described in DR4-101(D), it should be revealed, and if it concerns conduct of the type described in Opinion 75-19 and DR7-102(B)(2) (perpetration of a fraud upon a tribunal), it should be reported to the appropriate court. "Tribunal," as referred to in DR7-102(B), in the context of this inquiry could only refer to a court because the matter to which the inquiry refers has not been before a grievance committee; we therefore need not, and do not, here address whether or not "tribunal" in 7-102(B) has reference to a grievance committee.
The inquiring attorney also asks whether our answer as to his possible conduct of reporting the information would be different if the client's refusal to consent to such disclosure of the information continues after the promissory note has been paid. Regardless of how we may feel as to ramifications under those altered circumstances, our answer would not be different, the reason being that the Code does not permit such conduct, at least absent the types of circumstances referred to in DR 4-101(D) and DR 7-102(B). A substantial number of Committee members are of the view that DR1-103 of the Code should be amended to permit, if not require, reporting such information to a grievance committee under those altered circumstances when it is absolutely clear that such disclosure would not be detrimental to the client; the basis for that view is the feeling that the client should not under those circumstances have the power to impede disciplinary processes and cover up a violation of the Code.
In sum, under the facts presented here, the attorney-client privilege seals the mouth of the inquiring attorney until the client unseals it.

Adrienne Bailon was behind the racy photos hitting the Internet, says her former publicist.
Adrienne Bailon apparently wanted to transform herself into a sex symbol -- but things went wrong. Steamy snaps started circulating the Internet this week after her laptop was stolen from JFK airport and returned for a $1000 ransom -- but it turns out the talk of the naughty photos was all initially a PR stunt, reports FOX News.
Here's what Bailon's (now ex) Hollywood publicist/pal Jonathon Jaxson has to say:
• It was all a lie: Jaxson admitted to FOX's Pop Tarts that after the laptop was stolen he and the 25-year-old Cheetah Girl decided to "juice up" the story by saying that "nude pictures could have possibly been stolen."
• She wanted to vamp up her image: "Adrienne's tour with Cheetah Girls will be over December 22, so she is then free to pursue other projects and wanted to be seen as more adult and sexy," Jaxson said. "So after the laptop was stolen we used it as an opportunity to drum up some publicity and start speculating about nude photos, but we never expected anything to get out."
• The photos were not even on her laptop: Oddly enough, Jaxson said that the steamy snaps were actually stolen from the starlet's Sidekick phone (not her laptop) so it's under suspicious circumstances as to how the pics have been made public. "Adrienne and her boyfriend (Kim Kardashian's younger brother Robert) swear they didn't leak them, but it wouldn't surprise me if Adrienne did. It's either her or someone very close to her."
• Things didn't turn out as she planned: "Things are pretty ugly, what should have been an image boost has really turned around and bitten her in the butt," Jaxson added. "Adrienne has been crying for two days straight, she's on her Cheetah Girls tour right now so she has to explain to her fans and is totally distraught. Her career is in real jeopardy." He says that they aren't exactly friends anymore and won't be working together in the future.
A Disney spokesperson said they were still looking into the situation before issuing a comment.

Hi guys,
This is my first post i this forum.
I have recently got a LG 3D smart Wifi TV for my home. I have many 3D HSBS blue ray rip movies in my hard disk which i would like to play in my tv( MKV, AVI, MP4 format). The TV supports all format and i am able to plug and play all movies from hard disk. But only problem is the audio. The audio for the HD movies which are 2 channel are perfect and i am able to hear the dialogues perfectly. But in those Bluray rips where the audio is 5.1 DTS/Dolby ( 6 channel) the dialogues are barely audible but the background music are perfect, which is spoiling the whole movie experience. I have tried changing the setting in TV but no improvement at all. Everytime i play the movie, the music background score is loud and dialogue is not properly audible.
I tried converting the movies to 2 channel in format factory and play but that also gives the same result of center channel audio of dialogues being suppressed.
Is there anyway i can re-encode this audio 5.1 and downmix it to 2 channel stereo without dialogues getting suppressed retaining the same video quality of Blueray rip and then play it on my TV.? are there any other softwares for it? can someone help me in detailing on how to do it or give me a pointer to any other tutorial sites on how to do it?. Sorry i am a noob in A/V kindly help me
PS: I dont know if this is the right subforum to post this question. Moderators kindly move the topic to appropriate forum if it is wrong and oblige

Is there anyway i can re-encode this audio 5.1 and downmix it to 2 channel stereo without dialogues getting suppressed retaining the same video quality of Blueray rip?Let's assume you have a mkv-file with a H.264 video-stream, 2 DTS audiotracks and it's the 2nd DTS audiotrack you want to downmix to a, let's say, stereo AC3 audio-stream.
You could use eac3to...
eac3to.exe "movie.mkv" 3: "soundtrack.ac3" -downDpl -192...to create a 192kbps Dolby Pro Logic II AC3-file, which you will have to mux manually afterwards.
You could also use FFmpeg...
ffmpeg.exe -i "movie.mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -c:v copy -c:a ac3 -ab 192k -ac 2 -af "aresample=matrix_encoding=dplii" "movie(downmix).mkv"...to do it all at once; downmix (DPLII), encode to 192kbps AC3, mux video and the newly created AC3-stream (without the 1st DTS audio-stream) in a mkv-container.

KWCH 12 Eyewitness News
9:03 PM EST, January 20, 2011
(WICHITA, Kan.)
It's a billboard that may have had math whizzes all over Wichita scratchng their heads. The ad stated Galichia Heart Hospital's new Low Dose CT Scanner uses "up to 300-percent less radiation" than a traditional CT machine.
It might sound impressive, but as Eyewitness News viewer "Randy" pointed out, it's not possible to reduce the amount of radiation by that amount since 100% would represent all the radiation available. "Will this thing actually suck the residual radiation from my body?", he wrote.
Example: A new CT scanner exposes a person to 5 units of radiation, compared to 20 units of radiation with the old machine. Going from 5 units to 20 is a 300% increase. Therefore, it could be said the old scanner uses 300% more radiation than the new one.
But when the numbers are flipped from 20 units down to 5. That's a 75-percent reduction. So the billboard probably should have said the new CT scanner uses 75-percent less radiation.
"We just missed it," said Galichia Heart Hospital CEO, Steve Harris, calling it an honest mistake. "I think it speaks highly of the math IQ of our residents and citizens in Wichita."
Harris added the hospital was so excited to promote the advantages of its new $2 million dollar machine, the first of its kind in Kansas, that some details of the ad may have been overlooked. "It's a very significant reduction in radiation and it's something we think is a very important technology for our patients and patients in Wichita," Harris said.
"Medical research shows that over time the more radiation you're exposed to, the greater your risk of getting of cancer," said Cardiologist Dr. Mark Bowles. According to data supplied to FactFinder 12 Investigators by Galichia Heart Hospital, patients are exposed to signifcantly less radiation with the new CT scanner, compared to scans they underwent previously with the older technology. Many patients saw radiation exposure levels around 20 units, plummet to less than 2 units. The amount of change often varies based on the patients' body mass index.
In the past, doctors have been reluctant to order multiple CT scans, especially for young female patients because of concerns the radiation could expose them to breast cancer or other forms of cancer. "Now with the low radiation we feel like we can repeat a study on somebody and not worry so much about it," Bowles said
The Somatom Definition Flash CT scanner can be used to examine the heart of a patient who comes to the emergency room complaining of chest pains. Within minutes doctors can examine a high resolution 3-D color image to determine if there is an artery blockage or any other heart problem. Doctors can also use the machine to for early detection in patients with a family history of heart disease, Bowles said.
A hospital spokeswoman said the incorrect billboards were being removed after FactFinder 12 Investigators pointed out the mistake. She expected all would be replaced with other Galchia Heart Hospital ads by early next week.

Explain the two opposing theories regarding the reasons for Government regulations. PUBLIC INTEREST THEORY- • Gov. promotes the general interest of society as a whole • Chooses policies that promote efficiency and equity • The gov. finds the best way possible to fix the problem SPECIAL INTERST GROUP THEORY- • Gov. process where wealth is redistributed among individuals and groups. It redistributes wealth from the general public to certain special interest groups AND IN RETURN, politicians expect votes and support. • Promotes self-interest, but NOT public interest 2. List and explain the instruments government uses to correct externalities. WAYS TO CORRECT EXTERNALITIES: REGULATION- Taxes and subsidies can be used to alter the price of a good. For example, when it is negative/harmful, a tax on the activity OR when it is positive/beneficial, a subsidy. Negative Externality – Market produces too much Positive Externality – Market produces too little 3. Is there a market solution for externalities? Explain. Yes- when the market can automatically correct any externalities because those who are harmed and those who benefit from the activity bargain and come to an agreement. 1) clear and specific property rights 2) those involved must have an equal amount of bargaining power 3) the transaction costs must be low EXAMPLE: SMOKER VS. NONSMOKER 4. What is the income redistributive function of government? VERTICAL EQUITY- Ppl with higher incomes are treated differently than those with lower incomes HORIZONTAL EQUITY- Equals should be treated equally where ppl with the same income should pay the same amount of taxes 6. Are quality regulations effective? (Do they always result in improving efficiency? Hint: Consider licensing. (graph in notes!!!) ***Regulations aimed at employees usually means higher costs of production!! This shifts the supply curve to the left and shifts the demand curve to the right If there is a LITTLE shift in the demand curve, then improvement was NOT worth it. If there is a BIG shift in the demand curve, then there is a positive benefit. 7. Do price ceilings improve efficiency? Demonstrate and discuss. No- results in a shortage of goods and services! Also, long waiting lines, rationing, and it is NOT efficient. Chapter 10 1. Be familiar with the Medicare and Medicaid programs. MediCARE: 65+ 4 parts- A) Hospitalization B) Supplementary, out of hospital, paid positions- physicians C) Medicare advantage program (more choice) D) Voluntary Drug Program MediCAID: Poor and low income, the certain basic medical benefits that are provided… Inpatient and outpatient services Physican services Prenatal care Vaccines for children 2. Be familiar with recent Medicare reforms including DRGs, Resource Based Relative Value Scale system. Medicare volume performance standards, outcomes research and practice guidelines. MediCARE reforms: 1) DRG's for hospitals (part A) prospective system for hospitals 2) RBRVS (part B) price controls on doctors 3) Volume performance system (part B) expenditure limits 4) ORPG – contain the growth of physician and hospital expenditures by decreasing the uncertainty about alternative medical treatments Chapter 16 1. Analyze the reform efforts at the state level. There is an enormous amount of diversity across the states. Politics are very complicated at the state level. Actually applying and "doing" the health reform is more difficult than it looks. For example, Oregon established a process where they total their budget every year and whatever they have left is what they use, their reform efforts were very honest and straight forward. Massachusetts developed made a reform effort, but it failed, instead of saving money, they lost money. 2. Discuss the 4 proposals for reform at the national level. There is so much disagreement about how the reform efforts should take place, but the 4 proposals developed help sort through issues and focus on efficiency and equity: Managed competition, national health insurance, medical savings account, and individual mandates. They include the basic elements of most proposals usually considered. 3. Use economic theory to explain how employees end up paying for at least a portion of mandated health insurance in terms of forgone wages. Demand goes down and the curve shifts to the left and wage goes down! 4. Discuss the health care reform bill passed in March 2010. Make sure you demonstrate which aspects of the bill are reflected in the 4 health care reforms at the national level (number 2, above.) In the reform bill there are different aspects that involve individual mandate, managed competition, and control quality, which has an affect on price.. There is parental coverage until 26 years old, which will have an increase in health care. Also, there is prevention of cancelling insurance, which was already active, but insurance companies were not following the rules and doing that. Sally Pipes, "Ten Myths…" 1. List and then discuss Pipes suggested solutions for addressing the problems of U.S. health care. Sample Comprehensive Questions 1. Consider the American health care system. Would you consider national health insurance (i.e. like that of Canada or England) as a promising improvement in the US? Fully discuss. Make sure your answer considers the likely effects upon allocative and production efficiency. Don't forget to consider moral hazard, alternative theories of government regulation and other relevant issues in your answer. 2. Suppose that national health insurance is not an option. With that the case, what types of reforms would you support? NOTE: Use economic analysis to defend your position. Incorporate what you have learned throughout the class to answer this question. Note: In preparation for the final exam, students will be rewarded for reviewing the concepts listed below. You WILL be required to demonstrate a knowledge of these terms: The economic effects of price controls, the public interest theory of government regulation and the special interest theory of government regulation, adverse selection, scale economies, marginal cost and marginal benefit, cost-benefit analysis, externalities, the difference between the U.S. health system and a single payor system, like Canada's, etc., monopoly and competitive market structures. Some of these concepts will be helpful in answering the last two questions.

Knocked Up Knockouts
Men at Maxim decide on the "Nine Hottest Pregnant Women, Ever."
Maxim's list lacks originality (Christina, Halle, Angelina—come on guys, could you be any more obvious?). But we do applaud the mag for acknowledging that pregnant women are beautiful. Heidi, Gwen, Naomi Watts, Jaime Pressly and Monica Bellucci made the Maxim cut—but we have to ask: Couldn't they think of anyone who's not supermodel material to add to the list? We think Patricia Arquette was just stunning while pregnant, as was soccer star Mia Hamm and actress Leah Remini. Who do you think was the most beautiful pregnant woman ever? Comment below.
I can't believe any sexy list wouldn't include Salma Hayek. Also, Mariska Hargittay looked amazing as an expectant mother.
Hard to understand any sexy list that leaves Salma Hayek off. ALso, Mariske Hargitay was absolutely stunning as an expectant, and also as a new, mother.
Great post. Nice and fun reading. There is a small opinion to make about funny shirts.

"We always think we need to find willpower to do things we don't want to do, but what we really need to find is 'want power,'" says psychologist Kelly McGonigal, PhD, a lecturer at Stanford University and the author of The Willpower Instinct. In other words, to make exercise click, slap a mental sugarcoating on it. For Melissa Steinman, 28, of Findlay, Ohio, the incentive is her mission to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation, which has kept her running long after she lost about 70 pounds. Steinman, who has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was an infant, used the disease as an excuse to sit out exercise, until having knee surgery sparked a workout habit that has lasted four years and counting. "I learned that every pound I lost was like taking five pounds off my joints," Steinman says. That was all she needed to hear to get in gear, and she's putting her new lease on litheness to good use by training for a 5K charity race to support the foundation.

Sheesh, the flower is Studio 54 and this little buzzer is to pollen what Rod Stewart was to nose candy. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Compare our top 0% balance transfer credit cards
How to borrow for free
The introduction of a new best buy balance transfer card means you can realistically shift your existing card debt so that you effectively pay nothing for it. We uncover how it works.
Image: Martin Keene - PA Photos
When you borrow on a credit card or loan to pay for luxuries, the usual result is that you will become poorer, and will be able to buy less stuff for the rest of your life. This is because you have to use some of your income to pay debt interest. As a result, someone with the same income as you who does not borrow will never pay that interest and will, therefore, be able to buy more than you.
That's why it makes sense to borrow only if it will improve your financial position. This could be borrowing to study, to get a car essential for work, or to buy your own home.
Don't despair if you already have existing credit card debts, though. You can still reduce the cost of servicing that debt and therefore increase what you will be able to buy over your entire lifetime. And thankfully, if you are in this position, there are currently some credit card deals available that will, under certain circumstances, make your borrowing completely free for over a year.
The new leader among these products is the Platinum card from Barclaycard. It now offers a 0% balance-transfer period lasting 17 months, along with a 2.9% fee. As I'll soon explain, if you use the card correctly, the borrowing will actually be free in real terms.
Compare 0% balance transfer cards
The cost of balance transfer fees
Fees can be deceptive. For instance, paying a 3% balance transfer fee is actually equal to more than 3% interest. This is because you pay it up front and on the whole balance. If you pay interest, on the other hand, the cost is spread across the year on what is usually a reducing balance.
That's why a 3% fee on a card offering a six-month deal could even work out at the same cost as 11% annual interest. As I said, fees are deceptive.
Broadly speaking, the longer the deal and the lower the fee, the better. If you transfer a balance to the Barclaycard Platinum and pay it off in equal instalments over the 17 months, this works out as the equivalent of 3.91% interest per year. Much better than 11%, but still higher than the 2.9% fee suggests.
If your transfer is for more than £3,000 and you do it before the end of January, Barclaycard will give you £20 off the fee, which will reduce the effective interest rate further.
This is free money
3.91% might not sound free to you, but here's why it is. Currently, average inflation is running quite a lot higher, at 4.8%. This is also likely to rise a fair bit further in the coming month when increased VAT figures are taken into account, and inflation on the whole is expected by many to remain relatively high all year.
When the cost of goods is increasing at a higher rate than your debt interest rate, it means that your debt is becoming devalued and, therefore, easier to pay off. In real terms, then, you technically aren't paying anything for your loan under these circumstances.
In fact, so long as the basket of goods that you buy goes up in price faster than the effective interest rate of 3.91% this year, you could even say that your loan is paying you.
It still works with other cards
Other balance transfer credit cards are nearly as good as the Barclaycard Platinum and could also work out free for you this year if used correctly. At present there are six cards with free balance transfer periods lasting 16 months and another six lasting 15 months. With a 3% fee, that works out at the equivalent of 4.28% and 4.53% annual interest respectively - both of which beat inflation at its current level.

Play your cards right
This technique only works if you don't pay off your 0% card debt too early. Spread the payments equally over the interest-free period, and, if you have the money to pay it off faster, put it in an easy access savings account instead. Then you are earning interest on the money you are borrowing, which will improve the economics even further.
To boost the interest you earn and reduce the effective rate you're paying even more, you could pay off just the minimum monthly repayment, saving the difference in a savings account. With the Barclaycard, that should work out on average at roughly £50 per month you are saving per £1,000 of debt. Then you can just pay off the balance in the last month of the deal.
Using that technique with the Barclaycard Platinum and the Post Office Online Saver, which pays 2.9% AER, your effective interest rate will go down to less than 3% overall. After inflation, you should then be making a reasonable profit.
This is a strange system that only works when your costs are up front, such as with transfer fees, and when the repayment period is very long. If you are being charged interest rather than fees, the best way to reduce the interest you pay, and increase the amount of luxuries you can buy in your lifetime, is to pay off the debt as fast as you are allowed to, and to switch to cheaper deals.

Niners' quarterback Alex Smith performs non-contact drills
San Francisco, CA, United States (4E Sports) – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith participated in Wednesday's practice for the first time since suffering a concussion in last Sunday's 24-24 tie against the St. Louis Rams.
Smith entered Wednesday's practice session wearing a non-contact black jersey, throwing light passes and circling the field for a 20-minute light jogging.
The 49ers quarterback said he felt good as the post-concussion symptoms subsided.
"I feel good. Everything I've gone through, I've felt good," Smith told Marin Independent Journal Wednesday.
However, Smith insisted that it remains in the hands of doctors if he's going to play for Monday's crucial game against the Chicago Bears.
"It's not up to me. It's up to the doctors and there's a lot of stuff they're looking at. At this point, it's early," said Smith.
Smith still needs to get clearance from doctors and participate in a simulated contact activity before heading into Monday night's game against the Bears.
If Smith is unavailable, Colin Kaepernick could assume the starting role for the 49ers on Monday. Kaepernick stepped up in the absence of Smith last Sunday as he completed 9 of his 10 passes for 103 yards and pulled off an 11-play TD drive down the stretch.

THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT decided that, rather then letting the people of Massachusetts pick an electable candidate in a hard-fought primary, the party leadership would, in its hubris, foist Ed Markey on us.
As a true liberal, I find Markey a symbol of all that is wrong in the Democratic Party. For example, when Congress voted on the Wall Street bailout known as TARP, Markey voted yes; his Democratic primary opponent, Stephen Lynch, voted NO, observing that it was hard for him to ask his blue-collar voters to reach into their pockets to pay for bonuses at Goldman Sachs.

Haggis, using ingredients available in the US Recipe
Real haggis isn't available in the US, because it uses bits of the sheep on which the FDA looks with horror. This is my best attempt so far. Some key differences:
- I've given up on finding lamb lights and pluck, so it's much less offally than it should be.
- I used regular "old fashioned" oats instead of pinhead oats (apparently the same thing as steel-cut oats). The latter would probably give it a more authentic texture. You might want to try adding them after the grinding stage rather than before, as I do here.
- Even in Scotland, beef bung (or cap) is used as a common substitute for sheep stomach. You don't eat the haggis casing anyway, so it doesn't make much difference. You can get them online at most sausage supply sites (e.g. sausagemaker.com).
- This version is quite sausage-like, and binds together more than regular haggis, because I like it that way. If you prefer it to be looser, skip the binding step (step 6).
- 1 beef bung
- 1/2 lb "old fashioned" oats
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 lbs lamb meat, in chunks
- 1 lb beef liver, in large chunks
- 1 tbsp allspice
- 2.5 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 tbsp mustard powder
- 1 lb lard (suet would be better, if available)
- 1 cup beer
- Rinse the beef bung thoroughly, inside and out. Soak in lukewarm water for at least 1 hour.
- Toast the oats on a cookie sheet in a 350F oven for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Saute the onion in the butter until translucent, and allow to cool.
- Mix the spices, onion, lamb, liver, oats and lard in a large ziplock bag. Put in the freezer until quite cold (even stiff) but not frozen.
- Grind the meat mixture using a large die. If you don't have a grinder, chopping everything up into very small pieces might do the trick. Use less beer in the next stage if you go this route.
- Put the meat mixture in a Kitchen Aid on low setting for one minute. Add the beer, and mix on medium for one minute, until everything gets sticky.
- Cut the bung into three equal pieces. One will be closed at one end, open at the other, while the other two will be open at both ends. Sew one end of the two-ended pieces shut with a needle and (strong) thread.
- Stuff each bung bag with the meat mixture. Squeeze out all the air, but leave some slack in the bag so that the contents can expand. Sew each bag shut.
- Unless you have a big Burns Supper planned, you should probably put two of the haggises in the freezer at this point.
- Bring a large pot of water to a simmer, and add the haggis. Simmer gently for at least three hours.
- Serve ceremonially with tatties and neeps (mashed potatoes and turnips).

Gore Divorce: A 40-Year Marriage Is Never a Failure!
The reporter said their marriage had "failed." How could 40 years of supporting each other, raising children, surviving grueling political campaigns and welcoming grandchildren be called a failure?! If that's a failure, I can only imagine what the rest of our relationships could be called!
Today, serial monogamy trumps lifelong unions -- and for good reason. We live a whole lot longer. The qualities required of a partner to, say, get us through college and embark on a career, or have a stint of child raising, or enjoy a peaceful retirement may be quite distinct. That is, we may choose someone entirely different for each of those tasks. I am of the opinion that a marriage should last only as long as the projects it creates (i.e., until the kids are raised or the house reno is complete).
Now, having said that, do I believe that too many couples today throw in the towel way too early? Yes. Too many people bail when sexual feelings and romantic fantasies give way to the hard work and boredom of long-term monogamy. Or they simply have so few relationship tools that divorcing feels like the only option. These couples have much to learn. But that is not the case with the Gores. They have done their learning and have ridden out the bumps. They should be popping champagne to celebrate. They had a successful 40-year marriage. Here's to your next relationships, Al and Tipper!
Wow. This site is amazing! How can I make it look this good !
Fantastic Stuff, do you have a facebook profile?
I had been wondering if you ever thought of adjusting the page layout of your web site? It is very well written; I enjoy what you have got to state. But maybe you could create a a bit more in the way of written content so people might connect with it better. You have got a great deal of wording for only having one or two graphics. Maybe you can space it out better?

Is it alright to place part of this in my webpage if perhaps I publish a reference to this webpage?
How come you dont have your website viewable in mobile format? Can not view anything in my netbook.
Just to let you know your webpage looks a little bit different on Firefox on my pc with Linux .
Just to let you know your webpage appears a little bit unusual in Safari on my notebook using Linux .
I have got 1 suggestion for your web page. It appears like at this time there are a number of cascading stylesheet troubles when launching a number of web pages in google chrome and opera. It is functioning alright in internet explorer. Perhaps you can double check that.

I have learned that true happiness is to be content in whatever situation I am in. I am the wife to Captain Sunshine, the mother to our 2 growing boys, and my life's purpose is to not only nurture the family relationships I have, but also to nurture my own feelings and needs through self-expression in writing both poetry and erotica. Each word is deeply personal to me, and I consider writing my outlet for expressing the side of me that cannot be displayed in real life. Writing is cathartic most of the time. I also write about the fantasies of others. If you have an idea, or story you'd wish to share, please contact me through feedback and I shall do my best to accomodate your needs.
**I will not write stories of Incest, bestiality or molestation**

Look! - Using Glass Cylinder Vases
5 Comments
This is such a great idea. I have a bunch of glass cylinders left over from my wedding and they're just sitting in storage. Now they can be put to good use!
The green thumb in my house says that planters should have a hole in the bottom for drainage. Thoughts?
My mom has a very green thumb and she's always told me that you could put a little gravel, marbles or small rocks at the bottom before adding the potting soil to resolve the drainage issue in situations where you don't have a hole in the bottom of the planter.
She did it with a large, round glass fishbowl that she then hung by a window. The effect was mesmerizing for me b/c you could see the roots as the plant grew and the glass sparkled so nicely in the sunshine.
I belive it's okay to settle your plants in a container that doesn't have a drainage hole so long as the plant does not require watering on a regular basis(ie.cacti, succulents/jade). When re-potting the cacti/succents into these vessels, I mixed sand into the soil since to porvide a more natural habitat for the plants. Also I really like Hannala's tip: creating drainage at the bottom of the pot with non-porus materials. I also house my non-blooming orchids in wineglasses. Orchids have a really long dormant time between flowers, so why not show off their really neat looking tuber-like roots in an oversized wine glass? They do require a special potting mixture(easily found in any store) and need to be flushed with a ratio of water and liquid orchid vitamins weekly, however, I have had no problems pouring out the excess water out by gently tipping the glass almost upside down while making sure the orchid remains in it's housing. Have fun!!!!
OH or if you are not a fan of cacti,succulents or jade, maybe some water plants would be a fun option!

Impossible Software
I spent 40 to 50 hours trying to produce a 44 page book. The software would just freeze up making it impossible to do anything for many minutes at a time. Other times it would just unexpectedly quit. Several times when I returned to work on my book completed pages were missing and had to be redone. Final straw was when I went to rearrange pages it would take at least 20 attempts to drag them into place and then the page layout would be totally screwed up. After so many hours and so much frustration I finally gave up and created the same book on Apples program in 45 minutes. I am very disappointed as I prefer the flexibility of "Blurbs" layouts and great pricing. When I came to this forum to see if I could find a solution I filled out a Technical Report as suggested but when I submitted it it would not go anywhere. Hope that you can help, I have version 188.8.131.5270 and use Mac, Tiger edition.
Wow, too bad you had so many problems. I finished my first 62 page book last nite, and had no problems at all….. Hope the blurb people can help you out…..

Dinner will be provided. All those who have an interest in CCE's educational mission are urged to attend.
May 8, 2014, marked the centennial of the Smith-Lever Act, which established the Cooperative Extension System, a permanent, cooperative partnership between the United States Department of Agriculture, land-grant colleges and universities, and state and county governments. Through Extension, land-grant institutions eventually placed a new kind of academic professional called an "extension agent" in nearly every county in the nation. Today, as Extension prepares to mark its centennial, the system employs tens of thousands of community-based educators and campus-based faculty and staff. It pursues a remarkably broad scope of work through educational programs that address community food systems, nutrition and health, youth and families, business development and retention, conservation, and much more.
Centennials are a time for celebration. But they can also be moments for careful and critical reflection. For the past century, Extension's contributions to agriculture, natural resource management, family and consumer sciences, and youth development have been widely valued. Yet there is a need for new and creative ideas about how Extension professionals and volunteer leaders might improve the ways they engage people in addressing the new social, technological, and economic conditions of the 21st century. The Extension Reconsidered initiative is bringing together citizens across the country to reflect and deliberate on the legacy and value of Extension and its potential in the future.
All are welcome to join the conversation on the future of Extension. Notes from the discussion will be used by Cornell campus staff to help shape CCE's direction in New York as well as the national conversation. Please RSVP by emailing Ave Bauder at firstname.lastname@example.com, Christie Brewer at email@example.com, or calling 315-539-9251 so food can be planned for. If you are unable to attend but still want to contribute or learn more about the Extension Reconsidered initiative, the you can join the conversation at http://extrecon.cce.cornell.edu.
