By Greg Farrell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK The Blackstone Group's (BX) successful debut as a publicly traded company Friday sparked all sorts of flashbacks to the 1980s, and not just because Tom Wolfe, author of the 1987 Wall Street novel Bonfire of the Vanities, attended the opening on the New York Stock Exchange.
Rather, the transition of one of the largest private-equity groups in the world to the domain of publicly traded stocks and full disclosure has not only revealed the spectacular profitability of Blackstone and other buyout firms, but raised serious questions about whether tax loopholes have given private-equity players a competitive advantage over publicly traded companies.
"The publicity is creating a déjà vu all over again," says Jack Coffee, an expert in securities law at Columbia University. "To anyone who was around Wall Street in the '80s, Blackstone reminds them of the powerful role of Drexel Burnham. They were also masters of the universe."
In the 1980s, Michael Milken of Drexel Burnham popularized the use of junk bonds, or high-interest debt, to fund buyouts and hostile takeovers. Blackstone and other private-equity firms make money by buying underperforming companies, improving their operations, and selling them several years later, ideally at a profit.
But in the days leading up to Blackstone's IPO, a chorus of critics in Washington, D.C., noted that under existing tax rules, private-equity firms are taxed at the capital gains rate of 15%, rather than the full corporate tax rate of 35%. The reason for the discrepancy: Buyout firms maintain that they are profiting from their investments, not from managing the underlying businesses owned by their firms.
Two Blackstone-inspired tax bills have already been filed in Congress. One would raise the tax rate on firms such as Blackstone to 35%; the other would increase the tax rate for the managers of private-equity firms, who also enjoy the 15% rate.
If the new tax law on private-equity firms is passed, it would not apply to Blackstone for five years.
Richard Bove, a banking analyst at Punk Ziegel, says the discrepancy in the tax rates gives private-equity firms an unfair advantage over public companies that have to pay the full tax rate.
"It's not a level playing field," Bove says. "Private companies can get away with certain things because they have certain benefits, and tax advantages are one of them."
On its first day of trading Friday, Blackstone stock jumped 13%, from $31 to $35.06. Jeff Sonnenfeld of the Yale School of Management says it was a remarkable performance, given that the overall market dropped more than 185 points that day, and the uncertainty that the proposed tax legislation has cast over Blackstone's future earnings.

GREEN BAY PACKERS (1-1) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (1-1)
Green Bay -3 & 49
Opening Line & Total:
Packers -1 & 48.5
Aaron Rodgers tries to build upon a record-setting day when his Packers visit the Bengals on Sunday afternoon.
Rodgers threw for a career high and team-record-tying 480 yards in a 38-20 blowout of the Redskins in Week 2. He threw two of his four TD passes to WR Jordy Nelson, while WR James Jones had 178 receiving yards and WR Randall Cobb finished with 128. Top RB Eddie Lacy suffered a concussion on his first carry of the game, but backup RB James Starks replaced him with 132 rushing yards, the team's first 100-yard rusher in a span of 45 games. Cincinnati is 1-5 ATS in the past six meetings, but beat Green Bay 31-24 in 2009. The Bengals were able to defeat the Steelers 20-10 on Monday night thanks in large part to rookie RB Giovani Bernard's two touchdowns and a sustained ground game that helped Cincy keep the football for 35:34. The Packers are 10-2 ATS (83%) after allowing 6.5 or more yards per play in their previous game over the past three seasons, but are just 4-7 ATS (36%) in their past 11 road games. Cincinnati is a subpar 6-15 (29%) at home where the total is at least 45.5 under head coach Marvin Lewis, but is also 21-10 ATS (68%) coming off a double-digit win under Lewis.
The Packers are lighting up the scoreboard with 33.0 PPG, 483 total YPG and 382 passing YPG, numbers that rank first or second in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers has a 127.2 passer rating (2nd in NFL) by completing 70% of his passes for 813 yards (10.3 YPA), 7 TD and 1 INT. Four Packers receivers already have 10+ catches apiece, led by WR Randall Cobb's 16 grabs for 236 yards, 107 of which have come after the catch. WR Jordy Nelson is averaging 19.6 yard per catch on his 10 receptions, including four gains of 20+ yards and three touchdowns. WR James Jones and TE Jermichael Finley both have 11 catches, with Finley finding the end zone twice. With RB Eddie Lacy likely to miss a couple games with his concussion, RB James Starks is the only viable option to run the football for this team. Although he averaged 6.6 yards per carry last week, the Bengals are very tough to run on, allowing a mere 63 rushing YPG on 2.8 YPC this season. On the defensive side of the ball, Green Bay has been lit up for 718 passing yards (359 YPG), a number higher than it should be due to hamstring injuries to two starters in the secondary, FS Morgan Burnett and CB Casey Hayward. Neither player is expected back on the field this week. The Packers' run-stop unit has been serviceable though, allowing 99 rushing YPG on 3.9 yards per carry.
Bengals QB Andy Dalton has played well to start the season, completing 65% of his passes for 279 YPG (7.2 YPA), 3 TD and 2 INT. He's taken only one sack, which will be a key against Packers pass-rushing-monster LB Clay Matthews. Dalton has leaned heavily on top WR A.J. Green, targeting him on 35% of his dropbacks. Green has responded with 15 catches for 203 yards and two scores. WR Mohamed Sanu is the only other wideout with at least five catches, but has gained just 6.6 yards per reception on his nine grabs. Dalton has also relied on his talented tight-end duo of rookie Tyler Eifert and Jermaine Gresham, as the pair has combined for 19 catches and 214 yards this season. The Bengals have tried to pound the football with reliable RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, giving him 36 carries, but Green-Ellis has just 2.8 YPC with that heavy workload. Shifty rookie RB Giovani Bernard has been much more productive with 60 yards on 12 carries (5.0 YPC) despite his longest gain being a mere eight yards. Although the Bengals' front seven hasn't given up a lot of yards, especially on the ground, the unit has produced just two sacks in two games. They are expecting to triple that number against a suspect Packers offensive line that has allowed 57 sacks in the past 18 contests (3.2 per game).
HOUSTON TEXANS (2-0) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (1-1)
Houston -2.5 & 44.5
Opening Line & Total:
Texans -1 & 44.5
After winning on the last play for two straight weeks, the Texans are hoping there won't be as much drama on Sunday when they visit the Ravens.
Houston was able to eke out a 30-24 overtime win versus the Titans in Week 2, and although star WR Andre Johnson took a shot to the head late in the game, he has passed all his concussion tests and appears to be on track to start on Sunday. The Ravens, who escaped with a 14-6 home win over Cleveland last Sunday, also have a key offensive player questionable with RB Ray Rice's hip flexor strain. Baltimore won the first six meetings in this series (4-2 ATS), but Houston ended that skid last year with a 43-13 shellacking, outgaining the Ravens 420 to 176. The Texans have thrived in evenly-matched games, going 8-0 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 over the past three seasons, but Gary Kubiak is just 5-15 ATS (25%) in games played on turf as the Houston head coach. Baltimore is 26-12 ATS (68%) in home tilts after allowing 75 rushing yards or less in its previous game since 1992. However, home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after scoring 14 points or less in their previous game are just 37-71 ATS (34%) in the past five seasons.
The Texans have not been playing their best football, but QB Matt Schaub has had a strong start to the season, completing 65% of his passes for 644 yards (6.9 YPA), 6 TD and 3 INT. His two most-used receivers have been WRs Andre Johnson (NFL-high 29 targets) and rookie DeAndre Hopkins (19 targets), who have combined for 405 receiving yards in the two games. In last year's blowout of Baltimore, Schaub threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns with Johnson catching 9-of-10 targets for 86 yards. But Schaub has also leaned on his tight-end tandem of Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham for a combined 21 targets this year, leading to 14 receptions for 148 yards and five touchdowns. While the air attack is in good hands, there is a bit of a running back controversy in Houston with RB Ben Tate (8.2 YPC) greatly outperforming All-Pro RB Arian Foster (3.7 YPC), outgaining Foster but getting less than half (18) of the carries that Foster does (37). However, Foster was more efficient in last year's meeting with Baltimore, rumbling for 98 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries (5.2 YPC), while Tate gained 47 yards on 10 carries (4.7 YPC). The one negative for the offense on Sunday is that All-Pro LT Duane Brown is questionable with a turf toe injury. Although Houston has allowed 26.0 PPG so far, the defense hasn't played all that badly, allowing just 312 passing yards on 5.3 YPA and 199 rushing yards on 3.8 YPC. The defense is hoping former Ravens FS Ed Reed can make his debut with the team after missing the first two games with a hip injury.
Ravens QB Joe Flacco was downright horrible in last year's loss to the Texans, completing 21-of-43 passes for 147 yards (3.4 YPA), 1 TD and 2 INT. Flacco has had his moments so far this season, but his numbers aren't spectacular at 59% completions for 573 yards (6.0 YPA), 3 TD and 2 INT. He's done a nice job with ball distribution though, as five Ravens have already garnered a dozen targets. WR Torrey Smith has been his go-to receiver with 22 targets, resulting in 11 catches for 177 yards. With No. 2 WR Jacoby Jones out with a knee injury, WR Marlon Brown has filled in nicely with eight catches for 110 yards and two scores. Two veterans the team picked up during training camp, WR Brandon Stokley and TE Dallas Clark, have eight catches each. RB Ray Rice had a tough day against Houston's defense last year, totaling 54 yards on 14 touches. He actually had a much better yards-per-carry average (4.7) than yards per catch (2.4) in that loss. Rice hasn't done much this year either with 4.0 yards per catch and 2.9 yards per carry. If he is unable to go, RB Bernard Pierce will handle the rushing load. Pierce actually has three more carries than Rice this season, but has averaged a paltry 2.8 YPC. After being gashed for 510 yards and seven touchdowns by the Broncos in Week 1, Baltimore's defense was a lot more nasty against the Browns, holding them to 259 total yards and six points. However, three key defenders are all listed as questionable for this game due to injuries, DT Brandon Williams (toe), CB Jimmy Smith (concussion) and LB Arthur Brown (pectoral).
CHICAGO BEARS (2-0) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (0-2
Line & Total:
Chicago -2.5 & 40
Opening Line & Total:
Bears -2.5 & 40
The Steelers hope to finally get into the win column when they host the unbeaten Bears on Sunday night.
The start of the year has been very different for these two clubs. Chicago won its first two games behind some late-game heroics from QB Jay Cutler, while Pittsburgh's offense has looked sloppy, producing a total of 19 points in losses to Tennessee and Cincinnati. The last time these two teams met was in 2009 when the Bears hosted the Steelers in what ended in a 17-14 win-and-cover in favor of Chicago. Cutler threw for 236 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in that win over the Steelers. Cutler takes way more chances now that WR Brandon Marshall is in town. Marshall's presence is a complete game changer that really opens up Chicago's offense for RB Matt Forte to run. Over the past three seasons, Pittsburgh is just 8-18 ATS (31%) when playing on a grass field, but is 19-8 ATS (70%) in home games after losing to a division rival since 1992. The Steelers have won their past two home games against Chicago.
Last week, Cutler threw a touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett in the front left corner of the end zone to put Chicago up one with just 10 seconds to go in the game. It was the second come-from-behind victory for the Bears, who topped the Bengals after being down 10 points in the third quarter. So far this season, Cutler has been on fire under a new Marc Trestman-led coaching staff, completing 68% of his passes for 534 yards and five touchdowns. Cutler has also thrown three interceptions, but he has been great when the Bears need him most. WR Brandon Marshall has been Cutler's go-to receiver, much like he has been in recent years, with 15 receptions for 217 yards and 2 TD this season. Cutler has also established a liking for TE Martellus Bennett, who played for the Giants last season. So far this year, Bennett has 10 receptions for 125 yards and three scores, but he's listed as questionable because of a shoulder injury. Chicago's defense has struggled so far this season as they have allowed 51 points and 690 yards in two games, but they did get an interception return for a touchdown from Charles Tillman against the Vikings last week, one of six takeaways for Chicago in two games.
Pittsburgh has now lost its past two games, and in the process the offense has looked ugly. The Steelers didn't get on the board against the Titans in their opener until there was 1:23 remaining in the game, which made it a meaningless score. Against the Bengals last Monday, the Steelers were tied 10-10 at half but could not put any points on the board in the third and fourth quarters. So far this season, QB Ben Roethlisberger hasn't looked like himself as he has thrown for 442 yards (6.3 YPA), 2 TD and 2 INT while completing a pedestrian 58.6% of his passes (7th-worst in NFL). With RB Le'Veon Bell still out with a foot injury, the Steelers have completely lacked any resemblance of a running game. Felix Jones is the team's leading rusher this season with just 37 yards on 10 carries. No player on Pittsburgh has had a carry of at least 15 yards on the season. One positive for the Steelers has been the play of CB Ike Taylor on the defensive side of the ball. Last game, Taylor was able to hold Bengals star wideout A.J. Green to just six catches for 41 yards after his dominant opening week performance in which he had 162 yards and two touchdowns. Pittsburgh has done a tremendous job stopping the run (2.7 YPC allowed), and has allowed just 229 total YPG this year despite not forcing a single turnover yet.

Tried and Tested: Winter moisturisers
As the weather gets colder it becomes even more important to keep your skin properly moisturised. You need a soothing product that sinks in quickly and delivers on nourishment and high-quality ingredients. If you need a little help when shopping for your new winter saviour, check out our guide.
Fade Out Brightening Moisturiser SPF 15 - 3/5
This product promises a more radiant and even skin tone and after a few days of using it I did notice my complexion looked a little brighter. I don't suffer too much from uneven tone or anything like hyperpigmentation, so I can't comment on those factors. I like the fact it has a built-in SPF, but it's a shame it's not a little higher, so points off for that. Of course it's fine for winter though!
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Night Cream - 4/5
This is the first Jurlique product I've used and I'll definitely be investing in some more. It's an antioxidant night cream which is designed to help with fine lines, hydration and smoothness, leaving skin feeling firm and smooth in the morning. It delivers on all of these promises, so much so that when I stopped using it for a couple of days I noticed a difference. I knocked a point off because it's heavily perfumed, which is fine for me but won't suit everyone.
Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream - 2/5
I have very dry skin which gets worse in the winter so I thought this could be just the ticket. As well as helping with lines and wrinkles, it's supposed to give a hit of hydration, but it wasn't enough for my skin. It's in no way the worst moisturiser I've used, but by the morning my skin felt tight and in need of something else.
iS Clinical Reparative Moisturiser - 4.5/5
As soon as you smooth this product onto your skin, you can tell you're using a high-quality cream. It absolves dry winter skin of that itchy, uncomfortable feeling and lasts for hours. My only problem with it was that it doesn't have a nicer scent, but on the plus side that means it won't cause any irritation with perfume!
What Skin Needs Skin Balm - 3.5/5
This product is good for dry skin when cold weather hits thanks to its thick, nourishing consistency. It also soothed my face when I had slightly irritated patches, which is what it promises to do on the packet. I wasn't overwhelmed by it though and while it certainly moisturised, it wasn't the easiest product to rub in. It's fine at night time when I've got time to let it soak in but I won't be using it in the mornings any time soon.

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!
My husband and I have had permanant custody of a now 12 yr old girl for 2 years., her mother has agreed to let us adopt her. the father gave up his parental rights to keep from having to pay us child- support. I would like to know what we have to do to adopt her and how much money will it cost?
You do not have to adopt the girl and no one can force you to. However, if you already have custody and her parents are on board, the cost should be fairly nominal.
This answer is for general informational purposes only. This attorney does not intend to give legal advice and no attorney client relationship is created. If you desire legal advice you should seek a lawyer licensed in your state.Ask a similar question
Your adoption should be relatively uncomplicated based upon your brief description. I'm assuming that the girl is agreeable, that you have a "permanent custody order" from a juvenile court, the natural mother will sign a consent to adoption, and the father has already surrendered his parental rights probably in the juvenile court. All these facts must be documented with the probate court hearing the adoption request. Your home will be subject to a home study for suitability/premises and a criminal background check must be performed on anyone residing therein over 18 years of age. Should either your husband or yourself have any prior marriages/divorces, they must be documented, as well as your marriage certificate. The court investigator will interview both of you. Procedures vary depending upon your relationship to the child, whether you are step-parent, grandparent or non-relative, as well as the cost in court fees. These also vary depending upon the county in which you live. Attorney fees will depend upon the specifics of all of the above, before a quote can be made. Attorney fees are subject to approval of the court. All parties must appear before the court at the final hearing. Other documentation, questionnaires etc. will be required, and the process usually takes several months. I hope this has been beneficial.Ask a similar question

I am somewhat experienced but am looking forward to learning through the direction of a good photographer and through meeting other models. I take direction very well and consider myself to be a very driven and responsible person. I am full of energy, and basically a really easygoing person. I am unsure of my style of modeling at this point, I hope to figure that out along the way. Right now I am looking to expand my portfolio and I am willing to work TFP, TFCD Photos of a Darker Nature, Creative Photography, and Paid assignments. I am unwilling to travel out of state for TFP with an unknown photographer and also unwilling to do graphic nudity with no artistic interpretations. Please contact me at email@example.com with further questions.

The Cocktail Party Fallacy
How to advise clients fishing for quick tips.
November 15, 2007
by Eugene Fama, Jr.
If you work in the investment business, you probably know this scenario. You're at a party or sitting in the business class section of an airplane and the person you're talking to finds out you're in the financial industry. This leads to a predictable string of questions.
"What do you think of the market?"
I usually shrug, "It's … a market." I don't know what to say to this. People should probably be in the market.
Then they ask, "What do you think is a hot stock?" This translates to: "Which company do you think has the best chance for future profitability and earnings success?"
Most investors think glamorous, profitable companies like, say, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), have higher expected returns than beleaguered, poorly earning companies like, say, Allstate (NYSE: ALL). If someone on the plane asks for a hot stock tip, they want to know the next Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) or the next Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). They don't want to hear you say "Allstate" or "Washington Mutual" (NYSE: WM). They might walk away or turn you down to share a cab.
And yet, poorly managed, distressed companies have the highest expected returns.
Why Is This Opposite to Everyone's Intuition?
It's possible that people confuse the well-being of their human capital with the well-being of their investment capital. The receptionist at Apple is better off than middle-managers at Allstate. Since healthy companies are better places to invest our work effort, they feel like better places to invest our money. But buying stock is not analogous to working for, partnering with, or even owning, a company. It's more like lending money to a company.
The 1990 Nobel Peace Prize in Economics recognized Merton Miller of the University of Chicago for his research into the "cost of capital." When markets work, the cost of capital to a company is equal to the expected return on its stock. This is a simple, but profound notion. It means that companies use stock, like bonds, to fund operating capital. If a company sells off 10 percent of its stock, the buyer has a claim on 10 percent of the company's future earnings. The return the investor receives is the return the company forgoes when it sells the stock. The expected return is therefore the "cost" the company pays to obtain capital. Investors provide capital in exchange for an expected return in exactly the way a lending bank provides capital in exchange for an expected interest rate.
Well, if both Apple and Allstate went to the bank for a loan, which company do you think would have to pay the higher interest rate? Allstate would. Here's why. Allstate needs to compensate the bank for its poorer earnings prospects and greater risk of default. The stock market similarly expects a higher return from Allstate than from Apple. This induces investors to buy Allstate even though Apple is healthier. If Apple had a higher expected return, or even the same expected return, nobody would buy Allstate. People buy the stocks of distressed companies because the market sets the discount rate so that these stocks have higher expected returns.
Over the long term, investors in unhealthy stocks are rewarded. The stocks of distressed companies have outperformed the stocks of healthy companies on average since the dawn of recorded time in the U.S., and by more in other markets around the world. It should be mentioned that individual stocks have a lot of "noise" in their returns, which means there will always be individual distressed stocks that perform terribly and individual healthy stocks that perform well. In diversified portfolios, distressed stocks are expected to outperform healthy stocks over the long run.
Closing Thoughts …
So next time you're at a cocktail party and some hotshot investor recommends a glamorous growth company with strong earnings prospects, proceed with caution. Don't go rushing to sell it short, but don't expect its great earnings to translate into equally spectacular investment returns. Markets wouldn't work if healthy companies had to pay more for their capital than distressed companies. By the time a guy at a party tells you about some stock or sector's glowing earnings prospects, the expected return is likely to be low. By the time you see it plastered across magazine covers and chatted up by televised investment gurus, the "hot" stock's cost of capital, and its expected return, have probably cooled to a chill.
Rate this article 5 (excellent) to 1 (poor).
Eugene Fama Jr., Vice President, Dimension Fund Advisors, Santa Monica, CA will be covering the evolution of Dimensional Fund Advisors' applied core equity approach; empirical evidence supporting the size and value premiums; as well as why most active managers fail to capture the risk exposure that drives expected return at the upcoming AICPA Advanced Personal Financial Planning Conference.

When it blooms, 'Kwanzan' Japanese flowering cherry (P. serrulata 'Kwanzan') looks like it's dressed up for the prom about a thousand times over. Huge, ruffled, double, pink blossoms resembling corsages dangle beneath the branches in mid to late spring after the tree leafs out. The glossy, deep green leaves turn russet red in fall.
Growing to 30 feet tall, vase-shaped 'Kwanzan' provides plenty of headroom beneath it. This trait makes it an excellent lawn, street, or courtyard tree for the Upper, Middle, and Lower South. Plant this vigorous grower where you can gaze up into it.
Stunning spring flowers, quick growth, handsome bark, and colorful autumn leaves bring smiles to a gardener's face

I feel I must apologize for being abrupt and terse with you this morning. While it does not excuse my behavior, after a holiday weekend full of work related texts, late night emails and early morning calls, multiple BlackBerrys with configuration errors, a midnight plus troubleshooting session, a locked router, and all around not being able to enjoy myself, your call this morning while I was brushing my teeth (and little more than 30 minutes from when I was scheduled to be in the office to boot) wanting me to fix your mistyped email password was the proverbial straw slammed on an already broken camel's back. So here it is...
I'm sorry, and I can promise it won't happen again...I just won't answer the phone next time.

Love it.
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:26 UTC
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:28 UTC
i would definitely send it, it sounds good and professional to so you will be fine. and it would get the point across
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:30 UTC
Tell us how you really feel, I have not started call rotation yet, but I must say it is the one and only part of this new job that I dread.
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:32 UTC
Send it!
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:32 UTC
it is never good to follow up anything with a snarky apology that isn't heart felt. An apology should be just that, an apology, if it isn't it shouldn't be worded as such. You could say that you apologize that you were swamped and it wasn't his issue that caused you the stress, it was just the boiling point. I would not include the jab about his mistyped password or the not answering the phone. and if you truly aren't sorry and don't want to explain why you snapped then don't send it. i just think using a psuedo apology to level a couple more quick jabs is in bad taste.
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:33 UTC
I would send the apology just to clear the air.
One thing we do is make people call the main helpdesk number to get the on call nimber for that week. They are greeted with a message asking them to leave a voicemail (which emails in a wav file as a ticket) for non emergencies and call for emergencies. It has cut down a lot on the stuff that can wait making it to the on call phone.

Third day at school with staff back, first (or second depending on the year group) for students.
Absolutely manic.
And yes, I have people with 'problems' like that who are on my back while I try to get the wireless working again and have servers that are not behaving and am running around trying to update everyone's laptop at the same time...
I say SEND. Or a quiet word with their line manager (especially if you point out how many other jobs you are dealing with and how insignificant theirs was).

Isn't it strange that the S hits the fan every freaking time an extended weekend comes around?
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:44 UTC
I know how gratifying it would feel to send such and e-mail. My advice is don't.
Let the bill do your talking. Send them a bill for every after hours call. You will either get rich or they will limit the calls.
I find I grit my teeth less after they started paying time and a half for after hour calls.
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:46 UTC
May cooler heads prevail.
Send this to your boss, along with an explanation of what happened. Let your boss know that you did not send this message.
DO NOT send this to the end user, but stop by and apologize to them in person (if possible, or by phone) if you think you were out of line. Have a suggestion for them if they need your help in the future in a similar situation.
We have ALL had bad days (weeks/months) and most of us would love to passive-aggressively (or just plain aggressively) go off on a user than pushed us too far at the wrong time. That tends to burn bridges, and sometimes ones we weren't even aware of at the time. Relax, breathe...

Isn't it strange that the S hits the fan every freaking time an extended weekend comes around?
Amen to that... I had a fun one on the weekend: the logging/billing software went SNAP and no one bothered to call me for 12 hours, because even though the log-ins were red on the monitoring software nobody thought it important enough to call until a person with a brain came on shift at 3pm the next day... lost revenue, buggered stats, angry boss, welcome to life amidst a jungle of proprietary software... I need to pick up some female yeti that understand what is going on around here. Yeah, right!
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:47 UTC

It is pretty awful. I'm fairly sure I have not had a day without work somehow in it in 2+ years.
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:48 UTC
Mate, send it! OK not really.
I would not, not be happy getting those calls certainly not that early and not all the time. Holiday is holiday.
I strongly suggest you look for another opportunity so you can get your life back.
Sep 6, 2011 at 10:49 UTC
Don't send. Call a friend and do something fun today. And I mean, TODAY.
Sep 6, 2011 at 11:03 UTC
Thanks to all...in truth, this only existed as a Draft long enough to copy-n-paste here, and only got posted here because I don't right at the moment have access to an NNTP client appropriately configured for posting in The Other Place for venting.
I fully realize the CLM factor here, as I have (after careful consideration) sent missives of a more serious nature but with similar potential consequences. I fully expected the results of those actions, and I'm not that disgruntled yet. Heck, a couple times I was even pleasantly surprised at the outcome...but that's another story.
Sep 6, 2011 at 11:05 UTC
No idea how I would handle that stuff.
Sep 6, 2011 at 11:17 UTC
It is easy to get off the hook ignoring calls >30 mins before start time. If you have to drive to be there, you can say you were in the car. Feel your pain on the blackberry stuff, we finally got rid of our last BES phone last week and I couldn't be happier.
Sometimes just writing to get stuff our can work wonders. :-)
Sep 6, 2011 at 11:24 UTC
Don't send it. You may regret it. Wait a day and re-read it first.
Oh, by the way, call in sick on Thursday and Friday. Enjoy your extended weekend :-)

Snake Ball is mass-produced as Cast Twist and for sale e.g. at PuzzleMaster.
Snake Ball is a mechanical maze. The object is to separate the two rings. The complexity from this puzzle is that one ring has a little pin that slides in the grooves of the other ring and vice verse. So you will have to solve two mazes simultaneous. The puzzle also has another surprise. When you are at the point that you think you have finally solved the puzzle, you will discover that you are only halfway.
Snake Ball was originally 3D-printed by George Miller, and sold at his Puzzle Palace website. However, with his shop closed down and demand for this puzzle continuing, the puzzle is now for sale here.
Watch the YouTube video.

Note that the 3D-printed version comes in a uniform color, not the bicolor version on the photo. Please contact Oskar directly if you are interested in obtaining an assembled and bi-colored sample of this puzzle.

text: Posted December 24, 2012 Phthallates are chemicals used in plastics, including for some vibrators and dildos, as softeners. They may leach out. If so, they are not really sort of things you want circulating in your body, being toxic. See e.g.http://health.yahoo.net/articles/sexual-health/sex-toys-and-phthalates-risky-or-nothttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19333870/ns/health-sexual_health/t/when-sex-toys-turn-green-health/There is no claim that I can find that any individual has been harmed by phthallates from a sex toy.... and it may just be another overblown health scare. Nevertheless, a neurosis that catches on has as much effect on human behaviour as an epidemic (see GM foods, for example), which brings me to the point that a start-up company (lovebuni.com on seedrs.com) is pitching its case on its toys being phthallate-free. It will also ensure that they are ethically sourced and will have a recycling scheme.So to the question: Is anyone actually worried about phthallates in sex toys? Or whether they are made in sweatshops, for that matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oscars Red Carpet: The 25 Most Daring Dresses of All TimeBy Emilia Petrarca of W |
The red carpet at the Academy Awards is usually considered hallowed ground. Unlike the Grammys or the MTV Awards, or even the Golden Globes, it is neither the time nor the place for funny business. In fact, it is sometimes...too tasteful, too safe, and, sadly, too dull. But, in between the usual fishtail dresses and retro ballgowns, a few fearless women sometimes dare to wow on the red carpet. There was Nicole Kidman in 1997, for example, spectacular in chartreuse by John Galliano for Dior. Then there was Marion Cotillard, redefining the meaning of fishtail gowns in Gaultier couture that actually looked like fish scales. And for sheer bravado there's always Cher, perpetually clad in Bob Mackie and eager to flout the conventions of "tasteful dressing." Ladies, we salute you.

By Gillian Flaccus, Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES A judge dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday against Mexico City Cardinal Norberto Rivera, who had been accused of conspiring with Roman Catholic officials in the U.S. to transfer a priest accused of sexual abuse.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elihu M. Berle found Rivera could not be held accountable in a U.S. court because the plaintiff didn't have enough evidence against him, said Mike Finnegan, the plaintiff's attorney.
"It was a legal technicality," he said. "It didn't reach any of the merits of the case, and it didn't get to the key issues in the case, which is Cardinal Rivera's complicity in sending (the priest) to the United States as a child molester."
The judge's ruling also dismissed claims against the Mexican Diocese of Tehuacan, where the cardinal was bishop at the time he transferred the priest.
Steve Selsberg, an attorney representing the Mexican cardinal in Los Angeles, said the judge found no evidence of conspiracy after reviewing a year's worth of evidence collected by attorneys from both sides.
Plaintiff Joaquin Aguilar Mendez, 26, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that Rivera, who was then a bishop in Puebla state, knew that the priest had molested children when he sent him to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The priest, Nicolas Aguilar Rivera, is no relation to the cardinal or the plaintiff.
The cardinal's spokesman, Hugo Valdemar, told The Associated Press in Mexico City that the cardinal was pleased with the judge's decision.
"We are happy and satisfied that the judge confirmed what we have always said: This isn't a case to be judged in the United States," Valdemar said, noting the plaintiff had every right to present a complaint in Mexico.
Mendez said Tuesday that he planned to have his U.S. attorneys appeal. He said a lawsuit he filed against the priest in Mexico City in 1994 has gone nowhere and police have not apprehended the priest despite a warrant for his arrest in Puebla state.
"I feel very embarrassed that my own government decides to do nothing about my case," he said, through a Spanish translator. "This has damaged and ruined my personal life, it has damaged me financially and of course socially. In Mexico, in these type of cases, the victim becomes revictimized by society."
In a declaration filed in February, the cardinal said he sent a letter to Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony in 1987 warning him that the priest had "homosexual problems." A spokesman for the Los Angeles archdiocese has said the U.S. cardinal never received it.
The priest fled to Mexico after he was accused of sexual abuse in Los Angeles and before police could begin an investigation. He has since been charged in California with 19 felony counts of committing lewd acts on a child.
The priest lied to the Archdiocese of Mexico City and was able to get temporary permission to serve as priest there, Selsberg said. He fled Mexico City in 1995 when Norberto Rivera was promoted to cardinal and has been a fugitive since, Selsberg said.
The priest's whereabouts are currently unknown, Finnegan said.
Mendez, now 26, filed a lawsuit about a year ago alleging that the priest raped him in his room at the rectory when he was about 12 years old. The boy was told by the priest to keep quiet about what happened or his siblings would suffer the same abuse, according to the lawsuit.
While it is The Associated Press' policy not to identify people who allege sexual abuse, Mendez chose to come forward with his story.
Mahony, the Los Angeles cardinal, settled his portion of the lawsuit in July when the archdiocese agreed to pay more than 500 alleged victims of sex abuse $660 million, archdiocese spokesman Tod Tamberg said.
Any allegations of conspiracy against Mahony are outrageous, he added.
"We maintain that it was a ridiculous charge of conspiracy. The decision doesn't change our opinion that this was an absolutely spurious lawsuit," Tamberg said.

to spot the enemy.

If you are playing with the undead your best way to win is to build
from 4-8 dragons with the ice ability and attach your enemy\'s base.
Granteed to give results.If you are attacking with a normal army
always have a pitfiend by your side with the web ability cause none
of your ground units can attack in air.
If you are playing with the human the best way to win is to make a
combination of riflemen(with the long rifle ability) and knights(with
the animal training ability). That way your can kill on land and air.
The riflemen are very strong so if you use them in the right way you
can\'t be defeated.
If you are playing with the Orcs your best offence is to attack with
a couple bulls and raiders, cause the raiders can bring down any fly
creature and the bulls can POUND them. By the way the orcs have the
most powerful hand to hand units.
If you are playing with the night elves your best offence is to attack
with 6-12 chymaras(with the corosive ability). The night elves are
ranged units all in all so always have a comination of every thing,
for the hunters can hit multiple targets and the archers have long
ranges ....

this cheat is kind kind or a walk through/tip but on orc the best strategy
is to mass 11 to 23 grunts and 11 to 23 shaman and a far seer and a blademaster
warning: u will need i repeat need to upgrade ur shamen to master training so
they can get blood lust or they suck like anything,oh and make sure blood lust
is on auto-cast or this wont work for and random heroes should be turned off.
and finally, the grunt amount and the shaman amount should be exactly the same
eg.11grunts and 11 shaman now if this works for you email me and ill make a

Press [<Enter] to display the two player message box, type one of the following codes,
then press [Enter] again to activate the corresponding cheat function. The message
"Cheat enabled" will appear to confirm correct code entry.
Demon Hunter suicide:
Play as a Night Elf in a single-player game. Get a Demon Hunter as your hero. When
he dies, you can see that he stabs himself before he dissipates.
Immolation without mana:
Enable the thereisnospoon code if you are playing the Night Elves and get Illidan.
Learn the Immolation ability and activate it. After activation, disable the
thereisnospoon code. The mana should not decrease, but the Immolation ability should
be still enabled. This trick does not work on auto casts or on abilities that you must
click on the button to activate.
Animal kill:
Keep clicking the mouse over the animals and they will eventually explode.
Attack Redirecting Sent by: amitakartok ( leyta AT freemail.hu )
On the third Orc mission, all four Human bases receive attacks from your ally and
retaliate on you, right? If you build a Great Hall just south of your ally, three of
them will attack your ally's base (and never destroy it)! The light blue base will
still attack your main.
Ending bonus:
Successfully complete the game under the hard difficulty setting to see a 20 second
clip of what StarCraft 2 characters would look like under the WarCraft 3 engine after
the credits. Note: This movie is in-game, after they play "football" during the ending
credits. Also note the Orc in a spacesuit during that sequence.
Play Chapter 1 of the Human campaign. Take Arthas to the graveyard toward the east part
of the map at night. Villagers and sheep that you killed will reappear.
Book of Sam:
When using the Humans in a custom or campaign game, the hero paladin carries a book of
spells with him. This is what he looks at as he casts Holy Light. Zoom in fully on the
book while performing the spell, and the name "SAM" can be seen. Note: Timing is important,
but mainly keep watching the screen.
Extra footmen:
In Chapter 5 of the Human campaign, use one of your men to go down to the southern path
where you came from. You will find three extra footmen that will aid you.
Build army of heroes:
In Chapter 5 of the Undead campaign, Fall Of Silvermoon, you are able to create an army
of heroes (maximum is usually 3). You must complete the optional quest. First, destroy
Sylvanas' base leaving at least one Human Peasant alive. After the outro sequence, you can
build Banshees. Create one, and send her to the Mana shrine in the middle island so that
she can quickly gain 250 Mana. Then, command her to take control of the Peasant.
Build a Town Hall and upgrade it to a Castle. Then, build an Altar Of Kings.
You may now build as many heroes as desired, as long as your upkeep can support it.
Pendent Of Energy:
Play Chapter 2 of the Undead campaign. After you get the remains of the dead Necromancer
and a short intermission sequence plays, enable the iseedeadpeople code. Look for a very
big Granite Golem just south of the first river you see. He will drop the Pendent Of
Energy when defeated. He is difficult, but it is worth the fight.
Robe Of The Magi:
In Chapter 5 of the Night Elves campaign, "Brother's By Blood," the first main quest's path
has many mushroom trees where the river separates the land masses. In the bottom right of
the land you are first on, do "Force Of Nature" on the mushrooms and send them to fight the
skeletons. Move on until you see another mushroom group in the bottom right as well. Do the
same spell and move onto the small circle. Then, kill the Death Revenant and Skeletons to
receive the Robe Of The Magi, which gives a +6 bonus to intelligence.
The Shrine of Uberfish:
In Chapter 5 of the Night Elves campaign, "Brother's By Blood," there are two main quests.
The first is awakening the Druids of the Claw. In the second, freeing Illidan Stromrage, is
where this secret is located. First, enable the iseedeadpeople code reveal the entire map.
In the underground prison compound, you will see two circles of power behind some trees the
patrolling guards. Send Whisperwind to the big circle, transporting her to the Shrine of
Uberfish, which contains a Mantle Of Intelligence.
Play the first mission of the Prologue. Enable the iseedeadpeople code, then look at the
island at the top of the map to find some pirates guarding "phat lewt".
Remove Blight:
When playing as the Humans, train some priests and make sure they have the Dispel Magic
ability. If your enemy is the Undead, and has Blight, using the Dispel Magic spell will
remove it and turn it to dirt.
Hiding as Night Elves:
Note: This trick only works at night and for units with the Hide ability (Priestess of
Moon, Archers, Huntress). Use a Ballista (if desired) to knock down trees in a middle of
a forest, then place the units with the Hide ability inside the area of trees. Block the
entrance with Moon Wells. It is possible use Sentinels and the Scout to see ahead. The
forest area should be where the enemy passes. When the enemy appears, they will get killed
by the Archers. If they manage to attack, the Moon Wells will heal your units.
The Huntresses are used mainly for emergency purposes, such as for units that take down
trees and attacks from behind.
Completing timed levels:

Washoe County's incoming District Attorney announced his new leadership team Wednesday.
Chris Hicks, who ran unopposed for district attorney this election, announced longtime prosecutor Bruce Hahn as his choice for assistant district attorney, replacing John Helzer.
Helzer served as assistant DA to Washoe County District Attorney Dick Gammick since 1995, when Gammick first took office.
"I worked alongside Bruce for years and I know his professionalism, his commitment to criminal justice and his experience in the trenches," Hicks said.
Hahn and Hicks will be sworn in on Jan. 5.
Hahn said Gammick was more than proficient in his role as district attorney, but he did say the county could notice a difference in one way.
"I anticipate the county seeing a new level of energy and zeal," said Hahn, who started as a prosecutor in Washoe County in 1994. "When I think of Chris, he's a young man, a lot of energy and a lot of ideas. I'm happy to help him implement that in any way I can."
Paul Lipparelli will be retained as assistant district attorney of the civil division, a position he's held for six years.
"Dick Gammick put together a great team of professionals and staff," Hicks said in an emailed statement Wednesday. "I am fortunate to inherit such a great office and I look forward to building on that foundation."
The DA's office has 167 employees and 60 attorneys.
