Research Suggest Chronic Cocaine Use May Accelerate Brain Aging
A new study suggests that chronic cocaine use may speed up brain aging. According to US News and World Report, British researchers scanned the brains of 60 people with cocaine dependence and 60 people with no history of substance abuse. They found that those with cocaine dependence had greater levels of age-related loss of brain gray matter.
Cocaine users lost brain volume at nearly twice the rate of healthy people. The decline in gray matter was most noticeable in regions associated with attention, decision-making, self-regulation, and memory. One researcher said, "As we age, we all lose gray matter. However, what we have seen is that chronic cocaine users lose gray matter at a significantly faster rate, which could be a sign of premature aging. Our findings therefore provide insight into why the mental deficits typically seen in old age have frequently been observed in middle-aged chronic users of cocaine." The study was published in the April 25 issue of the journal "Molecular Psychiatry."
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, cocaine is used by 21 million people worldwide, and 1% of those people become dependent on the drug. Researchers said, "Our findings clearly highlight the need for preventative strategies to address the risk of premature aging associated with cocaine abuse. Young people taking cocaine need to be educated about the long-term risk of aging prematurely."
Accelerated aging affects older adults who have abused cocaine and other drugs since early adulthood. Researchers also emphasized, "Our findings shed light on the largely neglected problem of the growing number of older drug users, whose needs are not so well catered for in drug treatment services. It is timely for health care providers to understand and recognize the needs of older drug users in order to design and administer age-appropriate treatments."

Description: Robert J. Sawyer's Hominids, the first volume of his bestselling Neanderthal Parallax trilogy, won the 2003 Hugo Award, and its sequel, Humans, was a 2004 Hugo nominee. Now he's back with a pulse-pounding, mind-expanding standalone novel, rich with his signature philosophical and ethical speculations, all grounded in cutting-edge science. Jake Sullivan has cheated death: he's discarded his doomed biological body and copied his consciousness into an android form. The new Jake soon finds love, something that eluded him when he was encased in flesh: he falls for the android version of Karen, a woman rediscovering all the joys of life now that she's no longer constrained by a worn-out body either. But suddenly Karen's son sues her, claiming that by uploading into an immortal body, she has done him out of his inheritance. Even worse, the original version of Jake, consigned to die on the far side of the moon, has taken hostages there, demanding the return of his rights of personhood. In the courtroom and on the lunar surface, the future of uploaded humanity hangs in the balance. Mindscan is vintage Sawyer -- a feast for the mind and the heart.

Robert J. Sawyer was born in Ottawa on April 29, 1960, but raised in Toronto. In 1980, while still in high school, Sawyer submitted a short story to the the Rochester Museum and Science Center, which was running a contest for light show ideas. Sawyer didn't win, but the Museum purchased his story Motive anyway and it ran for 192 performances. Sawyer went on to attend Toronto's Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, majoring in Radio and Television Arts. In September 1979, he had his first piece of fiction published at the end of his first year, in Ryerson's literary annual, White Wall Review. Sawyer graduated from Ryerson in 1982. Sawyer was hired back the following semester to teach television studio production techniques to second- and third-year students. In the four months interim, he worked for minimum wage at the local SF bookstore, spending all his earnings on books. From 1984 to 1992, while teaching, Sawyer also coordinated a social group of Toronto-area science-fiction writers founded by SF editor Judith Merril. He established a Canadian region of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America; and in 1998, served as that organization's president. Sawyer also retained freelance nonfiction writing contracts, writing articles for newspapers and magazines, press releases and brochures for corporations, newsletters for government departments. He churned out vast amounts of promotional materials and over 200 articles for computing and personal-finance magazines in a span of five years. But in that time, his only really significant publication was the novelette Golden Fleece, which appeared as the cover story in the September 1988 edition of Amazing Stories. The novel-length Golden Fleece was sold to Warner Books a year later in 1989. The sales of his first five books were uninspiring and Sawyer faced being dropped by his publisher. Sawyer decided to take the time to write a book, without a contract, take as long as necessary, and produce a blockbuster. He also wanted to tackle a controversial issue and deal with it head on. With that in mind, Sawyer wrote The Terminal Experiment, about abortion and the soul. His publisher rejected it on grounds of controversy. HarperPrism then bought the book and serialization rights were sold to Analog, the number-one best-selling English-language SF magazine. The Terminal Experiment went on to win the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's Nebula Award for Best Novel of 1995. His novel Frameshift was his first book published in hardcover, and was nominated for the Hugo Award, and won Japan's Seiun Award for best foreign novel of the year.

text: The treatment options for a bacterial oral infection differ depending upon the severity of the situation. If the infection is caught early - gingivitis - a thorough cleaning may help resolve the problem. If the infection has progressed to periodontitis then the first step is often a deep cleaning called scaling and root plan followed by a re-evaluation a few weeks later to assess the healing and future treatment needs. In either case, professional care must be augmented by good daily home care for the best results otherwise the condition is likely to return. In addition to tooth brushing, interdental cleaning is critical. There are many products that can accomplish this - including string floss, interdental brushes, wood or plastic toothpicks, and a water flosser. String floss requires a high level of competency for effectiveness so for many people, other products are a better choice. Of these products, the water flosser has been shown to reduce the type of bacteria associated with oral infections (gingivitis, periodontitis).

Description: This is the latest book intended to establish "mentalizing as a developmental and clinical concept." It is both an introduction to mentalizing and a primer on how to use it in clinical practice.
Purpose: The purpose is to continue the process of establishing mentalizing as a developmental and clinical concept, and to instruct clinicians in its use with patients.
Audience: It is intended for any mental health practitioner seeking to learn more about mentalizing and its use.
Features: A thorough introduction to the concept of mentalizing begins the book. A review of the ways that mentalizing can be used in different psychotherapeutic arenas, from group and family-based techniques to individual adult/child interventions, follows. The second part of the book is more patient-centered and discusses specific mentalization treatments for a variety of groups, including those with borderline/antisocial personality disorders, eating disorders, and at-risk mothers/infants. There are good clinical examples and useful tables throughout. Chapters are laid out in an orderly fashion with a conclusion and suggested readings at the end.
Assessment: Though I was familiar with the concept, this book expanded my knowledge and understanding of how and where mentalizing could be used. The chapter on the assessment of mentalizing in the first section is particularly good. The second half on treatment discussed a number of patient populations (at-risk mothers, patients with eating disorders and drug addictions) that I would not have thought of as good candidates for mentalizing, but I am intrigued by the results. The writing is clear and not overly technical or verbose, and the instructions for the application of mentalizing are direct and practical. I would highly recommend this book for clinicians interested in learning about and/or using mentalizing in their practice.

General manager Ozzie Newsome recently told the Baltimore Ravens' website that the team is looking to extend the contracts of cornerback Jimmy Smith, wide receiver Torrey Smith and kicker Justin Tucker.
Which one is the likeliest to happen before the start of the 2015 season? Tucker is the best bet.
Signing the Pro Bowl kicker to a new deal is a win for both sides. Tucker can get the money he deserves, and the Ravens can potentially solidify the position through the end of this decade.
There is no debate on whether Tucker should get a new deal. He is making $570,000 this season and received no signing bonus in 2012 when he joined as a rookie free agent. There are 24 kickers who will make more money than Tucker this season.
The Ravens could pay Tucker at a bargain rate for the next two seasons (he would likely make a little over $2 million in 2015 as a restricted free agent), but they can secure Tucker for the long term by doing a deal with him over the next year. If the Ravens sign Tucker to a six-year deal before the start of next season (like they did with cornerback Lardarius Webb when he was a restricted free agent two years ago), they can have him under contract through the 2020 season.
There is always some risk involved when giving any long-term deal. The Ravens signed kicker Billy Cundiff to a five-year, $15 million contract after he made his first Pro Bowl following the 2010 season. That didn't go exactly as planned. Cundiff played only one year of that contract before missing the game-tying chip shot in the AFC Championship Game. The Ravens had to carry $1.8 million in dead money last season because of that Cundiff deal.
The situation is much different with Tucker. Cundiff was a 31-year-old journeyman at the time who had been a career 74 percent kicker before joining the Ravens. Tucker is 24 and has the best career field goal percentage of any active kicker with at least 60 attempts (91.9 percent).
Tucker's leg strength and ability to deliver in the clutch make him one of the most valuable players on the team. He has missed just once on 11 field goal tries from 50 yards and beyond. Tucker not only has six game-winning kicks in two seasons but he's also 22-of-24 in the fourth quarter, including 12-of-13 in the last two minutes of a game.
A national audience saw Tucker's ability to kick under pressure last season when he hit a 61-yarder to beat the Detroit Lions on "Monday Night Football." If there is any concern about Tucker, it's perhaps that he loves the spotlight too much. Not too many kickers do a celebratory dance after big kicks or appear in soda commercials.
So how much will it take to get a deal done with Tucker? The market value for top kickers is around $3.5 million per season. There are 10 kickers averaging more than $3 million per season. The NFL's two highest-paid kickers, Oakland's Sebastian Janikowski and Chicago's Robbie Gould, are averaging $3.7 million per year.
It would be a sound investment for the Ravens and a well-deserved reward for Tucker.

Freshlyground — SHOW CANCELLED | SFJAZZ
One of the most acclaimed and successful bands to emerge from South Africa in recent years, Freshlyground blends the infectious kwela style and musical traditions from Zimbabwe and Mozambique with elements of pop, jazz, blues and indie rock. Formed in Cape Town by vocalist Zolani Mahola, the band became a national hit with the release of their 2003 debut, Jika Jika, and a year later they found themselves performing for South African president Mbeki and sharing the stage with the legendary Miriam Makeba at the North Sea Jazz Festival. Over the ensuing years, Freshlyground toured the world and recorded six increasingly popular albums, culminating in a collaboration with pop superstar Shakira that was chosen as the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. They performed the song during the closing ceremony in a televised event that was broadcast to over a billion people. On a visit to South Africa in June 2013 during a speech at the University of Cape Town, President Barack Obama cited Freshlyground as an example of the contributions South Africa has made to the world. They truly represent the fresh new face of African music.

If you've been able to look past the Minnesota Vikings' uneven preseason results in the passing game, you've probably noticed another -- and perhaps more significant -- common thread. About 77 percent of quarterback Christian Ponder's passes have come from the shotgun formation, a significantly higher ratio than the 2012 regular season.
It's fair to wonder if that uptick is simply an extra focus on the passing game with tailback Adrian Peterson on the sideline, or whether it reflects a philosophical change from offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave. Ponder and Frazier indicated the latter in comments to reporters after Friday night's preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills, but I suppose we will have to see on that.
"With some of the success he had for us last season," said Frazier, via Ben Goessling of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, "a lot of it happened when he was in the 'gun.' We want to play to his strong suits, and that's one of them: putting him in the gun, where he'll be able to see things."
According to Goessling, 20 of Ponder's 26 preseason snaps have come on plays that originated in the shotgun. Last season, according to ESPN Stats & Information, 319 of Ponder's 555 dropbacks came out the shotgun (57.5 percent).
From what I can tell, Ponder's efficiency and production weren't noticeably better in those shotgun plays. His completion percentage was the same (62 percent) and about half of his touchdown passes (10 of 18) and sacks (16 of 32) came from the shotgun, but he also threw nine of his 12 interceptions on those plays.
The Vikings will have to be careful here. They'll need to line up under center for most of Peterson's runs, of which there will be plenty this season, but they can't let the shotgun be an obvious passing "tell" to the defense.
In the end, however, as the Vikings look for ways to level off Ponder's play and elevate their passing game, more shotgun is surely worth a look.

February 29, 2016
Monster Beverage has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire flavor supplier and long-time business partner, American Fruits & Flavors (AFF) for $690 million. The transaction will bring Monster's primary flavor supplier in-house, secure the intellectual property of Monster's most important flavors in perpetuity and further enhance its flavor development and global flavor footprint capabilities.
"It is with great pleasure that we announce the acquisition of AFF as it marks a tremendous step in the continuing evolution of Monster," said Rodney C. Sacks, chairman and CEO of Monster. "Not only have we secured the intellectual property of our flagship green energy drink and many of our other key flavors, but we are also partnering with an organization I have personally worked with and known for over 20 years. This transaction provides Monster a unique opportunity to leverage new flavor technologies and differentiate ourselves from our largest competitors who do not have these capabilities."
Sacks added that AFF's history of customer satisfaction, service, and flavors expertise seamlessly complements Monster's business while providing an excellent platform for continued innovation. The transaction also provides Monster with an opportunity to more effectively and profitably deploy AFF's flavor keys and intellectual property in Monster's growing international supply chain strategy.
The two companies have worked closely together since the mid-1990s in developing new products and taste profiles. AFF has grown at an approximately 8% organic revenue CAGR over the last four years, with Monster as its largest customer, representing approximately 87% of AFF's revenues in 2015. As a result of their highly integrated and close historical working relationship, the companies expect a seamless integration.

February 15, 2010 BY Aaron Hope
For a guy who'd jump over a pool filled with snakes just to prove how dope his new shoes are, it seems odd that Kobe Bryant skipped out on the 2010 NBA All Star game for such a relatively small injury. It's not like he broke his finger jumping over an Aston Martin or anything like that. Mamba-less ASG aside, there are still some snakes to contend with now that the 'Snake Pool' Nike Hyperdunk Low is ready for release. This ankle-cut edition sports the same colourway made famous in the Kobe x Jackass commercials. We expect them stateside shortly, and they've already been spotted at Japanese e-tailer Ultimate Collection.

Women's Tennis Takes on South Carolina Thursday at SEC Tournament
April 21, 2010
ATHENS, Ga. - The No. 12-seed University of Kentucky women's tennis team will battle No. 5-seed South Carolina on Thursday in first-round action of the Southeastern Conference Tournament hosted by the University of Georgia. The match begins at 10 a.m. ET on the Henry Feild Courts at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
Kentucky's top doubles team of sophomores Caroline Lilley (Portland, Ore.) and Minnette Pienaar (Graaf-Reinet, South Africa) have won four of their last seven completed matches. Their most recent victory was over No. 39 Anouk Tigu and Stephanie Roy of Arkansas 8-2. South Carolina's top team is No. 18 Ana Zubori and Dijana Stojic.
Wildcat senior captain Christine Johnston (Columbus, Ohio) hopes to add to a 13-7 tally as her career winds at Kentucky. Johnston recorded a 6-3 SEC mark during the regular season. When Kentucky last faced the Gamecocks in early April, Johnston and her competitor, Anya Morgina, split sets in a fierce battle at No. 3 singles that Morgina claimed in a super tiebreaker, 6-4, 3-6, (10-8). Johnston claimed her last home match at the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Center over Arkansas Emily Carbone 5-7, 6-3 (10-7).
South Carolina blanked the Cats 7-0 in Columbia, S.C., when the squads met earlier this season. At that dual-match, Johnston and her doubles partner, Megan Broderick, defeated Miljana Jocic and Rita Maisak 8-7.
Should the Wildcats beat South Carolina, they will take on the host and SEC Tournament defending champion, Georgia on Friday at 10:00 a.m. ET.

It's been awhile since I've put a real post up. The last three I've done were either really small or fluff posts that didn't take much work. I've been lurking for about two weeks now or so and I think I'm about ready to get back in gear. First things first though, time to catch you all up on what's been going on in my life.
In the beginning of August my cousin came down for a visit. This was supposed to be a two-week visit, but as per my family's luck it got cut by a week. Why? In essence it's because my extended family is worthless for anything but stress and aggravation. My grandmother (who is 88 mind you) was in the hospital and the doctors were considering surgery. Because of her age though the doctors were hesitant to go for that. My mom and cousin were concerned obviously and were considering going to NY to see her before she went in for surgery.
About thirty minutes later my mom calls my uncle for an update. What do we hear? She's already in surgery, and has been for awhile now apparently. So much for the first idea. Everything turned out alright though. The surgery was fine and my grandmother is recovering nicely. Because of the surgery, she obviously couldn't perform day-to-day tasks such as laundry, cooking etc. She would need help. Most of my extended family lives near my grandmother, but do anything of them volunteer to help her for at least a week so my cousin could finish her trip with us? Nope. Instead my aunt convinces my grandmother to ask my cousin to come back to NY to help her out. My cousin can't refuse, if she does who else would help her? No one. So my cousin had to go back to NY. I don't blame her at all, it just continues to prove how much of a waste to society my extended family is.
Oh and I found out today I may not be able to go to school this semester. The school I'm "attending" decided to not alert me to forms I needed to submit in order to get financial aid in time. I only found out when I called them wondering where my money was. It's unsurprising considering this is a community college and easily the worst school I've ever gone to. Either way though this opens up a chance for me to get a job. I desperately need the money.
There hasn't really been anything other news on the whole "life" thing. On the gaming front, there's been more StarCraft 2 (there's always been StarCraft 2). I've managed to get more of my friends into the game so I've been doing tons of team games recently. Lots of 3v3s and 4v4s. It's been pretty fun overall, thought we always seem to win and lose enough games to break even on our ranking.
Besides StarCraft 2, I ordered my fightstick for Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It hasn't come in yet, but I'm pretty excited to get in. I'm hoping it'll improve my skill in the game, and who knows, perhaps I'll try and compete or something.
I'm also really looking forward to Deus Ex. The review from PC Gamer was really good (94/100) and I'm looking forward to reading IGN's review on the game too. I've been looking for an RPG to throw myself into and Deus Ex looks perfect for it. What do you guys think of the game? Looking forward to it?
Now, the reason I stopped blogging for awhile is simple. I lacked inspiration. I didn't have anything to say and I was too busy to bother trying to think of anything. With some time freeing up and all the really cool game coverage going on right now, I believe I'll have something worth talking about once again.
Besides that and dealing with some current no-reason depression at the moment, nothing special is going on in my life. What about you guys got anything you wanna share? I know Gamescom is going on right now and I definitely want to do a post on all the cool stuff coming out of that, I just wanted to catch you all up to speed on what's been going on.

Year Published: 2005 - by Atom.
Genre/s: Paranormal romance/urban fantasy/young adult
Pages: 498.
Author: Stephenie Meyer.
Source: Bought.
About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him—and I didn't know how dominant that part might be—that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
In the first book of the Twilight Saga, internationally bestselling author Stephenie Meyer introduces Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, a pair of star-crossed lovers whose forbidden relationship ripens against the backdrop of small-town suspicion and a mysterious coven of vampires. This is a love story with bite.
{Re-reviewed on the 30th August 2016. First read in April 2016}.
Overall, I liked the writing, pacing, action, excitement, andmost of the time (when I could overlook her weaknesses)…Bella. But the anti-feminist messages were seriously disturbing and made me furious.
It's easy to read and endlessly entertaining. But when reading it for the second time, and then the third, etc, I had to force myself to look beyond the sparky surface and at the dark bloody heart below; in a matter of speaking. (Which is a tad dramatic, I guess).
I love Meyer's writing style. Her pacing is perfect and it's so exciting and addictive. The secondary characters (the Cullens; Bella's school friends) are interesting, realistic, and three-dimensional enough to capture my attention and make me want to know more about them. And, seriously, all the characters did feel very real to me.
Bella. Well, to be honest, Bella is one of the reasons I liked it and also one of the reasons I didn't. But most of the time I liked her; simply because I could relate to her to some extent. She was shy, quiet, not sporty at all, and awkward. I related completely to that. Not to mention that something about her just clicked with me.
On the surface, Edward is very swoon worthy. But seriously, if you can look beyond that, you should see the seriously insulting anti-feminist messages Meyer is sending out - through his treatment of Bella and her own response - and the way appearance is glorified above all else.
Dear Bella, bless her naive little heart, doesn't think for herself. And while I like the fact that Meyer avoided making her an athletic tomboy with bursting confidence, that's no excuse for making her weak! Bella is basically the total opposite of a strong, modern girl today. Considering Twilight's popularity, and the fact Bella is the heroine of the book, Meyer should be displaying her female character's strength and thus creating a strong, brave female role model who dares to show up males once in a while.
She literally has to be carried around - LITERALLY - and has to be protected all the time (not to mention that I didn't really find the whole James-wants-to-hunt-Bella-and-only-Bella ending very convincing).
To be honest, her whole romance/relationship with Edward just felt false. Um, yeah, maybe based on the fact she basically fell in love with him at first sight (and I mean first sight. Look at the chapter name. It's literal.) I know that's a hot topic for Twilight haters, and I can totally see the faults with it as well. Meyer really should have made their romance a slow-burner; it would have been so much more realistic.
In addition, the fact Edward notices her at all is slightly far-fetched. I'm a plan girl myself, and bearing in mind that people find other people beautiful for different reasons, it still seems unrealistic for Edward to have fallen of Bella. That isn't a big part of my complainants, but merely an observation. Also, the way a few of the boys at Bella's school also fall for her is just unnatural. After all, she says many times how plain-looking and unnoticible she is, and yet everyone's falling at her feet?
In addition, there is more anti-feminist stuff coming out. Bella is CONSTANTLY putting herself down and saying how amazing Edward is and how she doesn't deserve him. She literally worships him, wants to be as hot as him, and has no self-esteem. She also tirelessly blames herself for every bad thing he says or does, and every suffering he goes through In her opinion, it's clear Edward can do no wrong.
Another thing:
Bella hardly bats an eyelid when Edward confirms he's a vampire. Excuse me? She's head over heels in love him, UNCONDITIONALLY, and then accepts blindly that he's a monster (hey, he is. He drinks blood. Go figure) and that HEY, I'LL BE FINE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE IF I JUST PUSH IT TO THE FAR CORNERS OF MY MIND AND IGNORE IT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE (which, btw, the point of it is…..????)
And it makes me so annoyed to think of all the potential this book had: Meyer could have given Bella a quiet strength, she could have made Bella and Edward's relationship a whole lot more slow-burning, she could have made Bella have the logical reaction of being horrified at what Edward is, because, DUH, he's a vampire. And no matter how hot Vampire Diaries makes them or how attractively protective and manly Edward might be, such blood-sucking creatures should not be glorified. Isn't this the way we were brought up to think? Where have our standards gone?
Instead of that we get Meyer's anti-feminist talk right in our faces through the way Bella behaves and is treated; which is offensive, insulting, and just plain wrong.

Anti Gay Logic
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

I Wish I Were Stupid
People who don't vote, or involve themselves in politics, don't seem to mind not knowing how the government is run or who is making those decisions. Yet those of us, who do follow, are always second guessing decisions that are made and unhappily bitching about the people running the show.
I have worked for a few large companies over my life, and very rarely does it seem that the smartest people are the successful ones. Usually it's the ones who kiss ass, brown nose, and move ahead with a complete lack of knowledge of the products they work on. I recently had an upper manager say to me when working a project, "you wouldn't believe I've actually been here 10 years," while acknowledging her lack of comprehension on how to use the company created product we were working with. Just before Christmas my manager moved into a different position within the company. I've actually been on the team longer than my new manager. This new manage, who got the job because she was the only one to apply for it, knows that I know more about how to do the job than she does. I know that I can do the job better than she can. And most everyone I work with is probably aware of that as well. But of course, I'm only a contractor, and she's a full time employee, so she's in charge of the job we do, while I sit back twiddling my thumbs and being frustrated at the ignorance that surrounds me.
I have a co-worker, another contractor, who has been there nearly as long as I have. She's kind of an idiot. She couldn't organize her way out of paper bag, sounds like a retard when running a meeting, and yet she's the one who gets all the work from the new manager. Why? Because she doesn't question the new manager. She doesn't ask why. She doesn't suggest better and more efficient ways of doing things. She doesn't do any of that because she's not smart enough to think outside the box. The box companies say they want people to think outside of, but when people actually do that, they are frowned upon. To point out better ways of doing things, implies that the manager who actually thought of it in the first place is stupid. And in many cases, it's true.
They say ignorance is bliss, and I agree with them. I would be much more happy and content with my job if I wasn't smart enough to see all the ways it is being done wrong. I would be much happier if I could just walk in each day, do what I'm told, and blindly follow the so-called leadership of others. But instead, I raise my hand and ask why. And people who do not know the answer to why, don't like being asked. Because those people were blissfully ignorant as employees, moved to blissfully ignorant management, now follow the haphazard direction of these above them. Middle and upper management who make decisions based on the information presented to them by the stupid.

How to Properly Deal with Neighbors
Last fall a new neighbor moved into the place across from mine. For the most part she is a good neighbor. Good in the sense that I never have to see her or hear her. The only catch is, that she leaves for work about the same time each morning that I walk my dog.
The first time I walked past her driveway when she was backing her Ford Explorer out of her garage and driveway, she almost backed into me. I yelled, and she quickly stopped.
A few days or weeks later, the next time, I walked way around her so as to give her plenty of room, while giving her a dirty look that she most likely didn't see.
A time after that, I kicked the side of her car and yelled at her.
Then one day, after work, as I was walking my dog she was parked next to her mail box getting the mail. So, I decided to try being a nice neighbor and having a talk with her.
Me: Hi, could you do me a favor and when you are backing out in the mornings, try to watch…
Her: (cutting me off) It's your fault that I almost hit you. It's dark, and you wear dark clothing!
Me: Look, I'm trying to be nice here, but if you want to turn this into a fucking argument…
Her: (cutting me off again, and getting into her car) I can't talk to you when you swear at me!
Me: (slight confused, and now getting pissed) If you want to turn this into an argument we can! (I yell while standing on front of her car so she can't move) Next time you back into me, I'm going to make sure there is a dent into your car!
Well, apparently yelling at her worked. This morning I was walking my dog past her place, she stopped when she saw me, and even waved at me. Teaching a valuable lesson. When attempting to talk nicely to someone, you get nowhere, but if you yell at that person and threaten to kick a dent in the side of there car, they will pay attention. Let this be a lesson for you kids.

WWF's Top 10 Endangered Species to Watch in 2010
Interesting that we are going into the Chinese year of the tiger, when it's entirely possible that by the next year of the tiger, there won't be any tigers left. Currently only 3200 tigers on the planet.
The poster child for global warming and the negative impacts of humans on the planet.
Not as cute as the first two, but also heavily effected by arctic ice melting.
WWF reports that 12 of the 17 species of the world's penguins are experiencing rapid population declines.
The Leatherback has turtle has been on this planet for more than 100 million years. And in a fraction of that time humans have brought them to the point of extension.
Check out the WWF website for the full 10 and details about each.

The Slow Bureaucratic Pace of "Freedom"
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937 and took men using construction tools of the time, just over 4 years to build.
The twin towers at the World Trade Center took around 5 years to build both buildings.
Yet somehow over 8 years have gone by since the attacks on September 11th, and we have nothing to show for it except for a hole at ground zero.
The planned, and inappropriately named, freedom tower won't be open in time for the 10 year anniversary of the terror attacks in 2011.

Drinking my tea, as I go against the Seattle coffee establishment in not actually liking the taste of coffee.
I read some e-mails, reply to a few, check out blog updates of friends and people I follow.
I eat my Pop Tart, turn on some music, and seriously try to focus on the concept of actually doing some work today, in the expectation that if I think about it long enough, I might actually start doing it.
Instead I open my blog and post todays update from the confines of a windowless, florescent lit, white-walled room.
Some contract assignments they realize that the job they hired you to do is complete, that the work they've had you doing can be done by someone else, and they actually end the assignment and move you on to something else, something different.
Here I am just a face that's passed in the hall with a fake smile and the realization that I am actually still here- moving from office to office without my red stapler, nothing but a laptop and an iPod.
It's Monday and I'm back on the job after a long holiday weekend.

Forward and Back TabsAsked by utvmasters on July 07, 2015 at 01:12 PM
I am trying to see if there is a way to complete 2 items
1) Clicking the next tab only takes you to the bottom of the form on the next page. is there a way to get to the top of the form?2) When clicking back on a form not all of the info is retained and requires inputting it again.
To my understanding you appear to be having two different issues with your form so lets go ahead and take a look at your first issue on this thread here involving form going to top of the next page.
And as for your secondary issue with retaining the information I have moved that over here so that we can look at it separately.
Anyhow though, I checked the next page going to the top of the page after clicking "next button" and I noticed on your standalone form this is working properly which usually means it's not the form causing the issue.
However, when I checked this again on your embedded form I noticed this was the opposite and I can confirm that there it doesn't go to the top of the next page like it should. I believe there's a conflict or something may be missing that would make it function properly.
It appears you are using just the iframe.
Can you try using the iframe + script to see if that makes any difference?

Alternatively, you could try modifying the iframe code and adding ' #top ' to the end of it if the first way doesn't work.

Great thank you all works perfect now

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was at fault in an accident about a year ago in which I was at fault. One woman had a broken pelvis which resulted in her having 56000 dollars in medical bills after she completed treatment. I have decent insurance coverage for BI of 100000 / 300000. This woman is also claiming a wage loss of 2000 this raises it to 58000. I know that she can also claim other damages such as pain and suffering but if she decides to do that and demands that my insurance company pays the policy limit of 100000 and then goes after her insurance company to pay the difference can they eventually come back after me personally for the difference? I am in the military with no assets and a lot of college debt. I understand I can have my wage garnished. Do insurance companies often do this?
You need to demand that your insurance company immediately pay the policy limits to the lady. The insurance company is gambling with your life. No, they cannot sue you because you bought insurance. If there's a wreck that's your fault, then the agreement is that they pay.
Or are you asking if the OTHER insurance company will sue you? That's possible, but very unlikely. You could file for bankruptcy and discharge this debt, which means that they waisted a lot of money for nothing.
Next time, get more insurance. Insurance adjusters have a 'Medicals Times Three' rule of thumb in accessing total damages. That means they this lady's case is about $170,000. But if there's a permanent injury to her, it could be more. Plus, she might need another surgery in a few years, and then the rule of thumb would be to triple the cost of that future surgery.
I think you need to have a lawyer not paid by the insurance company to review the situation and write a letter demanding payment of the policy limits. When policy limits are paid, there's a long release that requires the lady to agree to not sue you. That's your best course: get your insurance to pay up!
You should cooperate with these insurance companies and follow their advice, because failure to do so might get you sued or might void the policy.
Did this help? Thank you for serving in the military.

Yes, your comment helps a lot I appreciate you taking your time to write a response. I have spoken to the Adjustor who is handling the claim for me and they have assured me that they are waiting for the final demand from this woman but that they will attempt to settle at my policy limits if the demand exceeds my policy. I am confident that USAA will settle the claim but I am worried that the woman will file a UIM claim with her insurance company and then her insurance company will sue me to cover the difference. I didnt know if the general release after the settlement excluded me from her insurance company suing me to recover their UIM payout. I just did not know the likelihood of them suing someone like me who has pretty much no assets except for my pay from the military which is actually 30 % exempt from garnishes anyway due to the nature of the allowances we receive as part of our pay. I am really just worried because I am a recent college graduate, I just started a family and I can't afford to be stuck paying this woman the rest of my life.
Don't worry/be happy. You survived a very serious crash. You had insurance. She had excess insurance. She survived. Consider a lesson learned: buy more insurance, drive more carefully. Again, thanks for serving and have a great day.
Thank you for your help!
There is no set rule regarding what a cause is worth. It is very likely that this case is worth more than your policy limits of $100,000.00. In Georgia, if your insurance company pays the policy limits many times in these circumstances it is done with a limiited liability release which allows the person injured to still sue you but only to get the underinsured motorists coverage. If the injured party accepts this type of release, then you are off the hook as to the injured party. However, the injured parties underinsured motorists carrier may try to subrogate against you and recover its money. If you believe that the case is worth more than $100,000.00, then you need to hire an attorney to protect your interest if a suit is filed.
The above is just my opinion based upon the limited facts provided. It is not intended to be offered as legal advice nor is it intended to establish an attorney client relationship. You should seek a consultation either in person or over the phone to discuss any legal issue that you may have raised.Ask a similar question
I doubt it for the following reasons. In order to sue you under her UIM, she would not only have to get your full policy limits but also she has to have a UIM policy which is greater than $100,000. Say 150-500k. Or any subtantial amount over 100k, that would make it worth it for her or herinsurance to sue you. So, let your insurance get a bullet proog release and unless she has a higher limit for UIM, I would not woory about it. However as suggested make sure your insurance company pays the limits to her, otherwise taht would open another can of worms. Best of luck.

Ooops, I was not waearing my glasses, Hope you can get my meaning of some typos!!!!
Assuming your insurer pays the limits as it should and the other driver makes a recovery against her own UM coverage, then yes that company can and very well may seek reimbursement from you. This is known as subrogation. In the past, most UM insurers would pay the claim and close the file. However, in these economic times many have have hired third party subrogation companies or simply developed a subrogation department to recover anything they can. I have had defense attorneys tell me they have even taken $20 a month just to try and recover something. A lot of this will have to do with who the insurer is.
As others have suggested, writing a letter to your insurer demanding they pay the claim and protect you is probably your best course of action short of hiring a separate attorney to review the matter for you.Ask a similar question
In the cases where the subrogation departments have sought financial reimbursement for cases such as these do you know if they typically give the tortfeasor an option of paying monthly payments as you said? I would assume that they would attempt to collect the money without going to court in the most diplomatic way possible. If this were to come to play in my situation for instance do you know if I would be able to negotiate a monthly payment plan that does not involve them automatically garnishing my wages?
There are a lot of moving parts to those questions. On the one hand, you don't want a wage garnishment or bad debt hanging over your head. On the other hand, the insurance company wants to recoup as much as they can, but with as little expense as possible. Keep in mind, insurance companies also have some bit of an image problem when it comes to these claims. To answer your question, I would imagine that for the rare cases where they are able to find someone willing to reimburse them to some extent, they'd be happy to take monthly payments. If you do get to that point, I highly encourage you to seek representation.
Hey Matthew I appreciate it thanks for your help!
The short answer is pobably yes. Assuming that liability is not an issue, her lawyer will demand the policy limits in exchange for a limited release that allows her to collect any UM coverage that she may have. Georgia has two types of UM coverage, if she has opted for "add on" UM coverage, there is no offset for the compensation she has received from your policy and if her insurer pays they can and likely will go after you for the money that was paid. If this happens, your insurance carrier is obligated to defend you in this action and can probably negotiate the amount of reimbursement. Best of luck to you and I applaud you for carrying more than the minimum limits.

Andrew, thanks for the reply. Here is my next question. If she receives the maximum policy limits from my insurance company and then turns around and then sues her own insurance company for her underinsured motorist protection is there a limit usually that she can receive from this? She can only receive the amount of policy that was originally tied to her insurance correct? Therefore, for example, if she has 25,000 UIM protection and she receives the 100,000 max policy from me but her case is worth say 150,000 can she sue her insurance for more than that 25000 coverage that she had, and then can they subsequently come after me for this amount over? Or, will her insurance company fight her and claim that my maximum policy limits covered her damages adequately enough and not give her the UIM. Again thanks for the reply, I'm really just pretty upset I'm in this situation, I thought I had adequate insurance but apparently I need to start carrying at least 300,000. I'm sitting over here in the Middle East worried that I am going to come home to nothing because I will have to pay a woman well over her medical bills and lost wages to compensate her the rest of her life and live a life of poverty for myself and my family. I'm probably overreacting but I work hard for what I have and to have a car accident take my income and all my assets away is extremely depressing.

Diastasis recti repair- 5 weeks post op
- kimchihoff
- Oakland, CA
- Last updated: 8 months ago
Hi all-
I am 5 weeks post op from surgery and doing well. I have posted in the Tummy Tuck forum but I feel that I wanted to chime in here too, as my surgery involved a lot of internal repair work for diastatis recti. I had 3 kids in 4 years and no matter how much pilates or physical therapy work I did, I could not fix the situation on my own. My profile and pics are kimchihoff to follow my journey. At 5 weeks out, I am feeling more and more like myself everyday. I really LOVE the results and even simple normal things like wearing a tee shirt feel different now. I am no longer dressing to conceal my protruding belly. In fact, the other night, I cleaned my closet out and purged 3 bags of billowy shirts that I am so happy to not have to wear anymore!! YAY!!!! This was never about wearing a bikini again for me...it was about feeling like my body was back in proportion. My belly is still numb and I'm not sure if and when it will regain feeling. I wonder if this is due to the amount if repair work and not so much the skin removal. The scar is healing as well.

I'll continue carrying the context strings to avoid eventual > allocation failures for the time being. The other option of course is to just accept that we might fail on that allocation (as there are other potential failure cases at the same point), log what we can (e.g. the SIDs), and call audit_panic. That saves us the overhead of always allocating and generating those context strings when we don't need them. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency

Genres: Singer/Songwriter, Music, Contemporary Folk, Rock, Adult Alternative, Pop
Released: Feb 14, 2012
℗ 2012 Sing-A-Long Records
❤Album Review:
Rosie Thomas was the mellowest singer/songwriter on the once-grunge label Sub Pop, representing an openness of spirit that was as refreshing as it was shocking. Having moved off on her own, Thomas continues to explore an emotionally rich landscape where sunbursts and heartbreak collide with gorgeous melodies that resonate long after the music plays. "Where Was I" brings her breathy voice to the fore, where it nearly disappears into the air. Pedro the Lion's David Bazan produces the album with a shiny, clean veneer that brings about a new accessibility, while Thomas adds a Jackson 5 vibe to the spirited "Over the Moon" and a sense of grand majesty to the piano-based drama of "Back to Being Friends." Best is the acoustic piece "A Really Long Year," where Thomas touches on country rock with rich harmonies and a generous reflection on her unusual life. "Sometimes Love" flows toward mid-'70s MOR, with a lite-FM feel that's perfect for her emotive reach.
民谣女声时隔四年新专。在民谣歌手Rosie Thomas的歌声中,婉转清新与成熟女人味相互渗透.时隔四年发行的新专辑《With Love》,她再次用充满爱意和诗意的甜蜜歌曲征服了歌迷.简单的吉他 优美的钢琴 不华丽却很真实。

Yes! I want to fight for healthy, safe air.
Our nation's leaders need to hear from everyone who cares about protecting the air we breathe. Everyone has a reason for fighting for healthy air, whether it's to protect a loved one with asthma or to be safe spending time outdoors.
This is a critical time to raise your voice. Our nation has made great progress in cleaning up harmful pollution, but we still have work to do before everyone has healthy air to breathe. And disappointingly, some in Congress want to weaken the Clean Air Act and delay lifesaving protections against air pollution. Together, though, we can defend the air we breathe. Will you help?
Please share your story and send a message to your members of Congress. Then, spread the word. Tell your friends, family, and co-workers how we must all stand up for our right to breathe clean air. The more people speak up, the stronger our message will be! .
