Collier County
Homestead Exemption - Declaration of Domicile
Every resident of the State of Florida who owns a dwelling in Florida and resides in that dwelling as his permanent home may be eligible for the real estate Homestead Exemption. This is a great benefit if you own a Naples home. If you live in the property it will qualify.
Once you have the Homestead Exemption, you are allowed a reduction of $50,000 from the assessed value of your dwelling/ home, condo. You must be a permanent resident of Florida as of Jan. 1st of the year you apply for the exemption. You can apply before Jan. 1st if you wish, but the application will only be actually considered accepted after March 1st of each year for the succeeding year. With rising real estate values, it is considered to be wise to have the homestead exemption.
To prove legal residence: Show evidence of property ownership (deed), your social security number, Collier county Voter card if you have one, Florida driver's license, Florida vehicle registration. Or, you may simply go to the Clerk of Courts office and file a Declaration of Domicile. You must have legal title and reside as of Jan 1st.
You may get more information at: www.collierappraiser.com/homesteadexemption.asp
You also may get an application for
domicile ahead of time on line by going to:

Now that I have officially obtained my law degree, what's next in line?
Chambering, that is! Law graduates are not automatically admitted to become a lawyer once they finished their studies. We must first undergo chambering or pupilage, which is a 9 months training stint under the supervision of a senior practicing lawyer.
I am very lucky indeed to have started my chambering period immediately after the endorsement of my degree, although that meant that I didn't get any rest period in between my studies and my newly launched legal career. But that doesn't really matter, because as other fresh graduates out there, I am excited to begin the next phase of my life – the working life!
Although chambering is not exactly to be considered wholly as 'working', since I am still in the state of learning and studying, but the change of environment is definitely a breath of fresh air for me. After years and years of classes, assignments, and exams, finally I got to try out all of the knowledge that I have learned into practice.
When I first scouted out for a place to do my chambering, the number one factor that I considered is the opportunity for me to explore the legal practicing world and learn as much as possible in a conducive environment. Not to mention, location is also one of the key factors because the further the workplace is, the more time will be wasted on travelling.
Alhamdulillah, to my delight, my firm is exactly that, a place where I can learn and apply my legal skills. It is located somewhere in Damansara, and the location is quite near, approximately 15 minutes from my home, (although I do have to admit the traffic jam during the peak hours is terrible!). The staffs there are also very friendly and willing to teach a newbie like me!
So far, I am enjoying this new chapter of my life. If there are any challenges and tribulations, that would be a normal thing. After all, to become a good lawyer, I must be brave to overcome any challenges – because that is exactly the nature of our profession – settling problems! (Hey, this might be a good topic for my next blog entry!)
I won't go deep into what I do during my chambering, but along the way, I will share some of the life lessons that I've learned from my stint here, that can be related to other people as well, in general.
With that, I would like to wish everyone a blessed Awal Muharam. May the coming of this new year will be a beginning for a very successful future for you and me.

FOXBORO, Mass. — There's a point, seemingly in every NFL game, when the rules don't mean anything and the players are willing to get nasty for the self-preservation of their team.
The television cameras and referees can't get to the bottom of a pile, where the football is waiting for someone to claim it. The player who takes ownership doesn't have to be the first one there, but for a few moments, he's got to be the toughest, most fearless person in the stadium.
When the football hits the ground, as many as 22 players will converge on it with complete recklessness, and there's only one thing that matters.
"It's nasty down there," Patriots right guard Brian Waters said. "It can be painful, too, based on where you are — if you're on the bottom, the middle, if someone's on your legs, somebody's on different body parts. It can be pretty nasty down there, especially if it's a fumble and everybody's fighting for the ball. People will do pretty much anything to get that ball."
"It's no holds barred," safety James Ihedigbo echoed. "Anything goes. It's very violent. Everyone is trying to scratch and fight to get the ball. It's pretty uncomfortable."
Someone once tried to pull Waters' arm out of his socket. Another player tried to snap Ihedigbo's finger off his hand. Running back Kevin Faulk has had his eye poked. Someone yanked defensive end Mark Anderson's helmet off his head Sunday when he recovered a fumble in Denver.
There's scratching and clawing, pinching and biting, punching and kicking. Players have had their bodies twisted up on purpose, and their ankles and wrists are targets, too. Late arrivers will swan dive on an opposing player. And almost all of it happens completely out of view. The rules are meaningless.
"It isn't pretty," Faulk said. "It all depends about who has the majority on top and who you're at the bottom with. If the opposing team is on top with none of your guys, you're in trouble because you never know what can happen there."
No one listens to the officials, either. The players at the bottom of the pile are at the mercy of their teammates, who try to pull off their opponents layer by layer. It might only take 30 seconds, but that's the longest half-minute of their day.
"All you know is the referees and everybody is yelling to, 'Get up, get up,' and nobody is getting up," Waters said. "You're just going to keep fighting. That ball is important to us. It's your livelihood on the ground, so you're going to go after it."
As dirty as it sounds, it's the symmetry between teammates that drives each player to one-up their opponent. After all, they know the other player won't hold back, so there's no need to lay off themselves.
"There aren't any rules," Anderson said. "Anything goes."
Each player polled could remember a time when they've come away with the football, too. If it's going to take that much energy to win a battle at the bottom of a pile, you better believe they'll walk away with the ball held high and a face full of pride.
"It's like a gladiator winning a match," Ihedigbo said.

simple recent comment plugin
I'm trying to understand Raoul's simple recent comment plugin.
In the sql query it has
WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type='' AND post_password = ''. I was thinking that the database has stored type of comments in comment_type since I could use it in the loop such as this http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comment_type
However if I use comment_type='trackback' it doesn't work?
Currently this plugin returns only comments but not trackback or incoming links, wonder if that can be done or some other plugins should be used.

Though there have been a few rough spots in NBC's current lineup, it is not all bad. "The Voice" is holding steady, "The Blacklist" has become a breakout hit and Jay Leno's farewell episode gave "The Tonight Show" its biggest numbers since 1998. However, the network's comedies are in dire straits.
Television has changed drastically since the days of must-see TV, where NBC ruled Thursday nights with critical and commercial hits like "Seinfeld," "Friends" and "Frasier." Networks can grow to these proportions again if they can focus on consistent, quality programming first and ratings second.
Therein lies the problem. While NBC is not what it once was, the company leaders want to maintain the foregone glory, mainly through that primetime Thursday block.
NBC Network President Robert Greenblatt has been adamant about trying to make comedy work the way it used to, but the current television shows are not up to "Friends" standards and CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" is stiff Thursday night competition.
The shift that NBC has had to make is particularly evident in the changes made during its last few years of scheduling. "Community" and "Parks and Recreation" earned high acclaim from critics and had devoted fans, but they tended not to appeal to broader audiences, which made them susceptible to cancellation rumors.
Following the finales of network mainstays "The Office" and "30 Rock," "Community" and "Parks" have emerged as the only comedic constants on the NBC schedule. The fans for these niche shows have proven loyal, while critics deem new, broader comedies like "1600 Penn," which was canceled after one season, too bland to appeal to anyone.
Even calling in NBC veterans like Sean Hayes and Michael J. Fox to carry sitcoms ("Sean Saves The World" and "The Michael J. Fox Show," respectively) failed to benefit the network's rebirth. The lack of passionate support led to Hayes' program halting production, and Fox's show has been pulled from the schedule until April.
Meanwhile, "Community" and "Parks" look likely to be renewed once more, officially making them the network's veteran comedies. With the unceremonious cancellation of fellow Thursday night freshman "Welcome to the Family" early last fall, it is clear NBC will not survive by taking the safe route.
Despite all these changes, it is hard to tell what NBC can do to rectify its situation. So far, the plan seems to be to go for familiar names, though in upcoming series the celebrities will be more behind-the-scenes. Announced in October, Tina Fey will develop another series for NBC starring Ellie Kemper, while Amy Poehler is set to help create a show starring Natasha Lyonne.
It is unclear how well these shows will fit into the future of NBC from a commercial standpoint — "30 Rock" was another ratings-challenged critical hit, after all. Perhaps the network will use this opportunity to branch out beyond Thursday nights but, for now, NBC is running out of options.

Our expectation for exemplary behaviour, both in and out of school, is reflected in our expectation of uniform compliance. We expect and trust that parents and carers, students and staff work together to promote fairness and consistency and to prevent valuable school time being diverted to following up on breaches of uniform policy.
Our uniform was designed with the distinct purpose of differentiating between leisure and learning time. It was chosen to foster a smart image for students and to encourage them to be ready to focus on their work, free from distractions.
We strive to support our students to develop themselves academically and socially and prepare themselves for life after school where a dress code or other restrictions may be expected. A uniform also helps us to dilute the status placed on expensive clothes or labels and challenge the belief that we are defined by what we wear. Instead, we encourage individual beliefs, ideas, passions and wellbeing and an ethos of camaraderie that is reflected in this shared experience.
Whilst wearing Priory uniform, all students are ambassadors for our school and we hope all our students take this responsibility seriously. Wearing our school uniform properly demonstrates a commitment to our high standards of conduct and support of our shared values. We hope it indicates a sense of loyalty to one another and a commitment to look after what we have, our buildings, our equipment and our environment. It encapsulates our pride in our school community.
We believe that a uniform worn without modification is the best way to ensure equality. We do not want children feeling vulnerable and stressed by the pressure they feel to wear or own the latest trend or status symbol. We strive to shift the emphasis of competition and status, to create a feeling of oneness and of support for fellow students. By adhering to Priory's uniform expectations, students have a more positive experience at school and therefore a better chance to excel.
Uniform update for all NEW Priory Students
From September 2017, all new Priory Students will be required to wear our updated uniform.New Uniform
This uniform has been designed specifically in response to the many issues and suggestions raised by parents, students and school staff. Specifically, it addresses the current issues of inequality and decency. We hope that it will provide a smart, comfortable and affordable alternative to the current uniform.
The new update consists of shirt, tie, school jumper and trousers. This is a gender-neutral uniform to be worn by all students.
We have also responded to the issues raised in the hotter months and created an alternative summer uniform. During this hotter period, the shirt, tie and jumper may be substituted for the school polo shirt and trousers. In extreme heatwave conditions, to help students stay cool and comfortable, students and parents will be notified by the school, that PE shorts or PE skorts, may be worn instead of school trousers. Summer uniform will be permitted during term 6 only. Should extreme hot weather occur at other times school staff will communicate with students and parents and a message will be displayed on the school website. Extreme weather alternatives will also be communicated in this way.
We hope this uniform addresses the suggestions and concerns that have been raised, whilst maintaining the high standards which are embedded within our school values.
Please note: there is no expectation for current students to adopt the updated uniform. Existing Priory students may choose to continue wearing their current uniform, in full, with the blazer, for the remainder of their time at Priory, or to adopt the new, updated uniform. Student who out grow their uniform will need to update to the new uniform as our supplier no longer stocks the blazer or skirt. Students will not be permitted to wear a mixture of old and new uniform. Students choosing to continue to wear the current uniform, may still purchase and wear the summer uniform if they wish.
We hope to have samples available in school and at the Intersport shop in Lewes, as soon as possible.
The Intersport team will be selling the new uniform in school on the evenings of Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th July between 4.00pm and 6.30pm. All families are welcome.

Driving In Winter Weather Conditions
When it comes to driving in winter conditions, the best advice you can get is "don't". Stay inside where it is warm and safe until conditions are favorable for driving again. We also realize that this is not always possible. Sometimes driving through the snow and ice is unavoidable. The key in these instances is to be as safe as possible, and with that in mind, we have come up with a few things (actually a lot of things) designed to keep you and your family safe while traversing dangerous conditions.
If you have to go out under these conditions, make sure that your car is properly prepared with the necessary safety equipment, snow tires or chains, and that you know how to handle adverse weather scenarios.
Driving on icy roads is well nigh impossible, but again if you must, decrease your speed and allow plenty of room to stop. We're talking at least three times the amount of space or distance that it usually takes to perform any maneuvers or stopping. Brake gently to avoid skidding, and if your wheels lock up then ease up off the brake. Turning on your lights will increase your visibility to other motorists.
Keep your lights and windshield clean, and use the lower gears in order to maintain traction, especially on hills. Do not engage the cruise control or overdrive while on icy roads. Remember that bridges will ice much faster than other areas, so exercise extreme caution when navigating across them.
Do not attempt to pass snow plows or sanding trucks, as these drivers have limited visibility and the road ahead of them may be in far worse condition than the one behind. Remember that even four-wheel drive and front wheel drive vehicles have trouble on ice.
If your rear wheels begin to skid, ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction that you want the front wheels to go. If you have standard breaks, gently pump them to regain some traction. ABS brakes should be steadily applied for the same result. When front wheels skid, take your foot off the gas, but do not attempt to steer. As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the vehicle on their own and traction will return.
If you get stuck, resist the urge to spin your wheels. This doesn't work in the movies and real life is no better. Instead, turn your wheels from side to side to push snow out of the way, and then use a light touch on the gas to ease the car out. You can pour sand or kitty litter in the path of the wheels to help gain traction, and you can gently rock the vehicle to get it to move ever so slowly and gently.
Remember that winter conditions can be deadly, and the last thing you want is to get stranded in your vehicle. If at all possible, stay home and wait for conditions to improve.
Restoration Local is one of the leading providers of winter weather and flood restoration in the United States.

Eating Disorders in Norfolk, NE
Eating Disorders have unfortunately become quite prevalent in today's society. Few things can devastate a family or an individual's life like an eating disorder. They include anorexia (significantly underweight with a distorted body image; they are slowly starving themselves to death), bulimia (chronic binging and purging) and overeating to the point of obesity. Any of these can lead to significant health problems (such as cardiac arrest) and can cause significant damage to the body, especially the major organs. Ninety percent of people with eating disorders are women, although professionals are seeing a gradual increase in eating disorders in teenaged boys.
Treatment of eating disorders needs to be multidimensional. Counseling services are an important part of an overall plan to help the individual. Counseling professionals work with the individual to help them identify and change the distorted thinking associated with their eating disorder. Our counseling staff helps individuals identify and address underlying emotional issues and needs motivating this behavior. We also work closely with nutritionists to assist these individuals in developing healthy eating patterns. In addition, our counselors work closely with family members to help them learn how to best help their loved one, placing a special emphasis on how to respond to the eating disorder and talk to their loved one about it.
Eating disorders can be very difficult to treat and the treatment process can be lengthy and complicated. For these reasons, and because eating disorders are so dangerous, it is important to find a mental health professional who knows how to treat them and has experience in doing so. Our counselors have been providing services for individuals with eating disorders for over 20 years. The knowledge and experience we have developed allow us to help those suffering from eating disorders and their families to address and navigate this difficult and challenging process.

Living With a Toddler
With 5 kids, it's no big surprise that most areas of our house are typically a disaster area. Today it was the kitchen. Amy had all the kids out of the house so I attempted to address some of the damage.
On the kitchen table were crumbs of cinnamon cereal that the oldest thoughtfully left out. The youngest took this as an open invitation to help herself. Nothing surprising there, but the aftermath was less than amusing. The oldest "cleaned" up the mess since he played an integral part in this scenario. Of course, by clean up, we meant just brush the majority of it off the visible surfaces off and certainly didn't actual intend for any one to break out the heavy duty tools like a broom or a wash cloth, but whatever.
While I was sweeping a wash cloth over the table, I ran across a particularly stubborn section of crumbs. Didn't think much of it since there was a great deal of sugar in the crumbs and just assumed that it was some crusted over stuff that had gotten wet. Then I noticed the elmer's glue bottle dangling precariously over the edge of the counter. Cap still open. Closer inspection verified my Sherlock Holmes like deductions that the cereal was in fact, very literally glued to the table.
I was fortunate enough to catch it prior to it fully setting so it wasn't like chipping away at cement, but it wasn't pleasant either. Most of our stuff can easily be described as "old, piece of crap ____" and our kitchen table is no exception, but it still doesn't mean that I was gonna leave the fruits of this day's learning experience to be a reminder for the rest of the table's life. Around here, that may not be that long but one can hope.


text: What The Hell? Are these real or they some fugazi type $#!t? Well according to several folks, these Nike Zoom Kobe VII is the real deal and are called the "What The Kobe?" The inspiration is basically just a plethora of colors and designs combined together like they did once before with the "What The Dunk SB" but those were stoopid limited, these I hope will be kinder to the wallet and easily attainable by those that really wants them. (LIKE YOURS TRULY)

It's amusing how famous people know other famous people. I'm not talking about Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox level BFFs. I'm talking about famous dead people – masters of the arts. It's not like they all lived in Holllywood and have guest starred in each other's sitcoms back then. How did they end up hanging out and making chismis in the streets and coffee shops of Montmartre?
During our visit to Musee Rodin, there was an exposition of Rodin and Monet's letters to each other. Needless to say this was my most favorite part of the visit. And also because I'm Filipino and I think most of us have an affinity with knowing other people's business. So this was like making chismis back in time because there was no Facebook back then and people had to write real letters.
I love the how they write in the olden days. It sure is different from the chicken scratch I see young ones have these days. I also love how Monet's stationery says Giverny.
Okay so I don't really understand their handwriting but it sure is purty.
Mr. Rodin and Mr. Monet. I thought they were chums but was a bit weird-ed out that they kept on referring to each other as 'vous' – which is like a formal 'you' usually used for respect or when speaking to older people – or your boss.
They even threw an expo together. How mignon is that? – Uhm, I guess that answers my question as to how they knew each other. I didn't realize that before. But, did they do this expo before or after they became chums?
Too bad it was just a temporary exhibit. I think this was one of the reasons I liked the Musee Rodin.

The tale of confusing credits from a couple of issues ago seems to get more and more complicated. It's beyond the point where you can't tell what a person does from the credit anymore and has progressed to the point where they blatantly don't do what the credit says they do. Does that make sense?
How about stories of background artists drawing the background and everything else -- save for the characters' faces? Maybe one in particular, who is too busy making Hollywood deals to bother drawing his own book? So he gets the lackeys to do it. He spots out the page and gives it to the "background assistants" to draw. Their names, which rightfully belong on the cover, don't go there because their names wouldn't sell the book. It's bait and switch, smoke and mirrors, etc. etc.
Folks, I'm not talking about Rob Liefeld here. Yes, Marat Mychaels ghosted an issue of X-FORCE, but Marvel editorial was afraid of a sales slippage without Rob attached to the book as artist. Besides which, that would also have made the books returnable. Rob's been open about this since that time.
But this other "creator" I'm talking about today lays out a page at a time, and leaves the rest of the work to the people who don't get their own office space. The bullpen draws the comics; those with offices pull down the checks.
I'm not naming names here. I have no proof or evidence or corroboration on this story. But if this is true, then I hope someone would speak up about it. Or just set the record straight. What do the background assistant artists at [studio name deleted] actually do? So anyone who would care to enlighten me and my readers -- either anonymously or openly -- feel free to drop me a line at email@example.com. I'll be looking into this where and how I can on my own.
I'd like to think that it's only a matter of time before a system such as this would get exposed. There'd have to be an ex-employee with a grudge or something, right? No, instead we have an insular "community" which doesn't like to expose some of the ugly truths. There are no investigative reporters in comics today, save maybe Richard Johnston. And Wizard wouldn't cover something like this for fear of losing a major advertiser and magazine-seller.
I haven't spent much time in this column lately going over PREVIEWS. I think we shall see what madness it inspires this month:
Not even an Alan Davis cover is getting me interested in the JSA. I read James Robinson's THE GOLDEN AGE. That's enough for me. It was OK, but nothing to rev up my engines. I skipped the JSA event this past month, too.
DARK HORSE is flogging a dead horse. They're doing "Maverick" to band together some of their top-name creators. I guess they didn't learn much from "Legends," eh?
WildStorm is soliciting for a DARKCHYLDE SUMMER SWIMSUIT SPECTACULAR, marking the first such special in which the starring character will be wearing more clothes than she often does in her regular series.
Jim Lee continues to learn from his Cliffhanger protégées how to package and repackage what little work he does, as a third collection of DIVINE RIGHT hits the shelves, containing two stories with extra 'f' words added in.
More worthy of your money is "STORMWATCH: CHANGE OR DIE," collecting a bunch of Warren Ellis' great stories.
Further proof that the comics industry is dying: Even Todd McFarlane needs to publish three unnecessary spin-off series in order to keep his empire afloat.
ARIA #6 is solicited. I almost lost control of my bladder from laughing so hard when I saw that. I bet ya we'll be lucky to see the third issue by June.
MONSTER FIGHTERS INC. #2 is solicited. I have nothing witty to say here. I just like to publicize J. Torres' work.
Speaking of which, Tim Levins is drawing BATMAN: GOTHAM ADVENTURES #15 in June! Whoo-hoo! Now let's get back to THE COPYBOOK TALES, OK, guys?
TELLOS, Todd Dezago and Mike Wieringo's fantasy series, looks a hell of a lot more interesting than BATTLE CHASERS. And I have a better feeling that they'll put out more than 5 issues in their first year.
Marvel prints the black and white artwork by George Perez and Al Vey (presumably) from a few pages of AVENGERS #19. I didn't think it possible, but Firestar's face looks even more ridiculous in black and white than color.
That new BLACK WIDOW is cute. . . However, I also acknowledge the fact that she's a figment of someone's pen and ink imagination. This, I believe, separates me from a lot of fans you find on the Internet lurking in dark corners.
Doug Braithwaite's CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY #12 cover makes me long for Rob Liefeld's anatomically-correct CapAm.
WIZARD interviews JMS for its 95th issue! Whoo-hoo! They also include an offer for another comic based on a weak wrestler-based character. I long for the day when this pornography is taken back off the air. Did anyone else see that ESPN special about wrestling?
The cover to THE COVEN: DARK ORIGINS #1 features a woman who is able to move the upper part of her body without any attachment to its lower half.
BTW, don't blame Rob Liefeld for the lateness of ALAN MOORE'S AWESOME UNIVERSE HANDBOOK. It's strictly a printing press mix-up. Not Awesome's fault. GLORY #0 is still Awesome's fault, however.
The Buffy photo covers are worth more than the pen-and-ink covers. I don't get it. All those photos are seen countless times on the Internet and in the newspapers and. . . I don't know. ::shakes head::

You've probably heard many of the cautions about lending money to people you know.
You've probably heard many of the cautions about lending money to people you know.
As Benjamin Franklin put it, "Creditors have better memories than debtors."
In William Shakespeare's "Hamlet," Polonius advises his son Laertes, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend."
George Loewenstein, a professor of economics and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, and Linda Dezs÷ from the University of Vienna set out to measure the impact of personal loans on people's feelings.
The researchers examined two psychological issues. They wanted to know whether the two people in the financial transaction - the lender and borrower - are subject to self-serving bias when it comes to recalling different aspects of the loan.
To some extent, Loewenstein said, the research explains why lenders often feel borrowers seem cavalier about their obligations. Borrowers are optimistic about their ability to pay, with 87 percent thinking they will eventually make good. But only 35 percent of lenders think they will ever see their money again.
The damage to relationships often starts when personal loans become delinquent, the study found. Lenders feel that their trust has been violated. Borrowers then become resentful of being under the yoke of the loan, Loewenstein said.
Loewenstein and Dezs÷ don't want their study to be used to eliminate person-to-person lending. Rather, they hope their findings are used to help people understand and avoid the pitfalls.
"At the moment of initiating a loan, very often both parties have very unrealistic expectations," Loewenstein said. "A lender thinks the borrower is trustworthy. And the borrower is convinced he or she will repay the loan. People get swept up in the emotions of the moment."
So the researchers advise the following:
» Don't succumb to pressure to make an immediate loan. Think about the potential negative consequences.
» Get a contract. Yes, this is personal, but it can also get ugly if you don't detail the terms of the loan in writing.
» Document payments. Lenders should give a receipt and borrowers should ask for one. Even though you both think you have a mutual understanding of the loan agreement, memories fade. And that's when feelings get hurt.
Most importantly, don't lend money you have to have back. Just give the money to the person in need.
"You should immediately write off the loan in your mind," Loewenstein said. "If you get repaid, that is wonderful. But go into a loan with the assumption that you are not going to be repaid."
And those seeking personal loans from family or friends should keep this proverb in mind:
"Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most."

The Backbenchers (Image: Fairfax Media)
CANBERRA -- A relaxed Tony Abbott has been greeted by supporters as he made his first appearance in the House of Representatives chamber since being deposed as Prime Minister.
Abbott, who has still not decided whether or not he will stay in parliament, turned up to question time for the first time since being ousted by Malcolm Turnbull just under a month ago.
Now just the Member for Warringah, he was seated two rows from the nosebleeds and next to former Treasurer Joe Hockey, while the former Defence Minister Kevin Andrews sat just across the aisle.
We meet again. (Image: Fairfax Media)
He quietly smiled with his head down in paperwork as Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten spent the first question trading barbs about the former Prime Minister's legacy.
Abbott has declared, that at 57 years of age, he is too young to retire and has more to give public life.

DIRECTIONS: Located just outside Chonburi on the road to Ban Bung. Buses leave frequently from Bangkok's Eastern (Ekamai) Bus Terminal for the one-hour trip. Get off at Ban Bung intersection in Chonburi, then walk or take a samlor to the meditation centre.
MEDITATION SYSTEM: Vipassana based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as described in the Buddha's satipatthana suttas. The techniques of Mahasi Sayadaw are used. The meditator establishes concentration on the rise and fall of the abdomen; mental noting helps focus attention on bodily sensations and mind objects as they come into consciousness. Sitting periods alternate with walking.
TEACHING METHOD: Daily interviews with the teacher
TEACHERS: Phra Ajahn Asabha (Dhamma Chariya) (Burmese; age 79)
Phra Ajahn Charlee Jaruvanno (Thai; age 54)
Phra Ajahn Pramuan (Thai; age 60)
LANGUAGE: Phra Ajahn Asabha speaks only Thai and Burmese, but a translator can be arranged. The other teaching monks speak some English.
DESCRIPTION: Shaded, fairly quiet location on the edge of Chonburi. Simple, modern architecture. Kutis are fairly close together. Separate living and practice areas for men and women.
SIZE: monks: 30-60
novices: 3-7
nuns: 20-30
laypeople: 20-30
DAILY ROUTINE: Meditators practice in meditation halls or in rooms according to their own schedule. Continuity of practice is stressed. Everyone is encouraged to meditate 20 hours a day. One should avoid socializing, reading, and leaving the centre during one's stay.
FOOD:Very good quality and variety. Monks and novices go on pindabat, then eat mindfully in their kutis. Laypeople can eat in the kitchen or take food to their rooms. A simple breakfast is served early morning, then the main meal in late morning. Laypeople can arrange for food, including vegetarian, to be ordered from shops and delivered to the centre.
ACCOMMODATIONS:Individual rooms or kutis with screens, electricity, and Thai-style bathrooms with running water.
WRITE IN ADVANCE?: Recommended. All rooms may be occupied during the Rains Retreat and some other periods.
ORDINATION:Not available
OTHER INFORMATION: One should come with the intention of staying at least 2 weeks. Meditators follow the 8 precepts but may, if needed for health reasons, take food after mid-day. Phra Ajahn Asabha came to Thailand in 1953, after the Thai government extended an invitation to the Burmese government to send vipassana teachers.

Today, January 31, 2017, is the last day of open enrollment for health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges.
For those of us living with a chronic health condition, like diabetes, this is a sad day. Are we hearing the death knell of access to affordable health insurance? We don't know.
While the new administration has begun the process of repeal with Congress passing a budget resolution and the President signing the Executive Order Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal, it hasn't presented a clear plan for replacement.
Since Obamacare touches nearly everyone, patients aren't the only ones concerned about the effects of repeal without a replacement, or as some are framing it "repeal and delay."

Samsung starts mass production of 256GB SSDs
Posted by comtech3 on November 21, 2008
November 20, 2008 4:55 PM PST
Posted by Matt Hickey
The main things keeping solid-state drives out of the mainstream are their high costs and low capacities. Currently 128GB SSDs sell for around $400, far more expensive than comparable traditional mechanical drives while still holding less data.
Samsung's aiming to fix that with its new 256GB SSD, which it's just put into mass production. The storage size is close to being on par with current laptop hard drives, and by producing them in mass quantities it should be able to bring the price down dramatically. Currently, Axiom 256GB SSDs can go for as much as $7,500, really not giving enough value to the average user.
No word on Samsung's target pricing at launch, but when you consider its 128GB SSDs go for about $550 to $800 you can guess these will come in at a more attainable price point, we'd guess around the $1,000 to $1,400 mark. Still not as cheap as traditional laptop drives, but a large step in that direction.

Earlier this summer I took a tour of an Eastern North Carolina cucumber farm. It was really interesting to learn how the farm works, from preparing the soil, planting, picking, boxing, and shipping out the cucumbers to processors who distribute them to grocers. Size and shape matter I was shocked to learn that 25% of cucumbers grown in the US do not reach the consumer because they have an ... VIEW POST

Freedom of Expression & Religion
Case No. 2009-CV-65, Moffat County District Court
ACLU Case No. 2009-08
In Craig, Colorado, the City Charter prohibits candidates for city offices from spending more than $500 in an election campaign, and violation is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine and up to 180 days in jail. Francisco Reina, an unsuccessful candidate for city council in April, 2009, spent $1500 of his own money. The City Attorney at first said he did not believe prosecution was warranted. The City Council, however, voted 6-0 to recommend prosecution, and Reina was served with a summons the next day.
Arguing that the First Amendment right of free expression protects the right of candidates to spend their own money to promote their views and inform the public about their candidacy, ACLU of Colorado attorneys filed suit on Reina's behalf in Moffat County District Court to challenge the spending limit. The next day, the City Attorney announced he would drop the misdemeanor charge against Reina.

Decisions about early childhood education are not always easy for parents. Questions about curriculum, location, and price make it a complex issue — for good reason.
Leading experts say a commitment to early childhood education is no longer a choice — it's a necessity. Research shows that this period is a time of rapid growth and brain development for children.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) states, "high-quality, developmentally appropriate early childhood programs produce short- and long-term positive effects on children's cognitive and social development."
As parents seek the strongest early childhood education for their children, part of their decision may involve analyzing the benefits of public school versus private/independent school options. Parents often feel private schools offer meaningful advantages, like small class size, exceptional faculty, broader curriculum, academic excellence — and others more personal to each school.
"The learning that occurs in the earliest years of education is infinitely more consequential than the work done at Yale; it is rare for a student to discover a love of learning after being admitted to college. A Nobel prize winning physicist once declared "Understanding the atom is child's play when compared to understanding… child's play," said Doug Lyons, Executive Director, Connecticut Association of Independent Schools. "The first years of learning are often referred to as the wonder years. All children are born curious; retaining that curiosity and fascination with the world is the primary goal of the earliest years."
The Lower School at King in Stamford is rooted in the belief that students' core academic and social skills are fostered in the early school years. "The early years establish students' disposition towards their future learning," said Lindsay Wyman, King PreK-Grade 4 Director of Teaching and Learning. "Teachers need to be experts in the field of education who understand the particular ways children develop and learn."
King Faculty know students extremely well and personalize their learning accordingly. When students feel deeply connected to their teachers and their learning, they are better able to take risks, collaborate with others, and problem solve effectively.
The Department of Teaching and Learning at King has developed a proprietary, internal system that highlights each student's learning strengths, challenges, and goals. Teachers actively contribute to and utilize this database to support King students' development over time as they move through the rich, rigorous academic program. "The Lower School Faculty support the development of every child with student-centered team discussions once a week and additional lesson planning meetings around assessments with the Director of Teaching and Learning," said Karen Raidt, King Head of Lower School.
Selecting the right school and best fit for a child is the beginning of a meaningful partnership between parents and teachers, which enables a family to feel connected to a school. This sense of community is celebrated at King with the School's four Virtues: Integrity, Kindness, Perseverance, and Respect. Beginning in PreKindergarten, children learn to respectfully listen and respond to other points of view and perspectives. This helps develop the necessary skills needed later in life to collaborate and problem solve productively and succeed in a rapidly changing world.
"Close teacher-student relationships in a caring school community can deeply affect children's future physical, cognitive, emotional and social development," Lyons said.

Groundbreaking set: Mark Richt among 60 former UM players to donate $1.65 million
Mark Richt's emotive post Thursday afternoon on Twitter was not because a star football player had committed to one of his future recruiting classes.
This was even more exciting to the University of Miami coach who has seen his long-awaited dream accelerate toward fruition.
"It's official!'' Richt tweeted. "Ground-breaking scheduled May 4. Thank U to all IPF donors but still remain $2.5M from $34M goal.''
Thus, the Carol Soffer Football Indoor Practice Facility will begin construction in May, thanks to the more than $31 million that has been raised toward the project.
It's official! Ground-breaking scheduled May 4. Thank U to all IPF donors but still remain $2.5M from $34M goal.https://t.co/aWNzjHniHm pic.twitter.com/8icymmYvz6— Mark Richt (@MarkRicht) April 6, 2017
Jeffrey Soffer, a prominent South Florida real estate developer and philanthropist, and his siblings made a $14 million commitment to the project in honor of their mother Carol, a longtime UM football fan and athletics donor.
The entire project will exceed 100,000 square feet and include two turf fields that combine for 81,000-square feet (one field will be 80 yards long and the other will be 40 yards long and will directly connect to the Squillante Strength and Conditioning Center). The indoor facility will be located on the current football practice area and will be connected to the Hecht Athletic Center and the Schwartz Center for Athletic Excellence.
It will include a football operations center with a mezzanine level that houses the football coaches' offices and meeting rooms.
Other sports will have access to the facility as well.
Richt, a former UM quarterback and one of the main reasons the fundraising soared, pledged $1 million toward the project. Sixty former players have contributed $1.65 million, including the $250,000 by former linebacker Jon Beason, senior associate athletic director Jesse Marks told the Miami Herald on Thursday.
UM athletic director Blake James' goal has been to have the facility completed by August 2018. James told the Miami Herald that the school would not rule out a football ticket surcharge to help pay for it if needed.
"Right now, our football program is facing a glaring need,'' Richt wrote in a letter published on HurricanesFootballFacility.com. "We are the only university in the ACC without an Indoor Practice Facility or one under construction, and it is affecting our practice time, preparation, and recruiting success…Florida is the lightning capital of the United States…On average, we lose or must reschedule 22 practice sessions every year due to weather-related issues…
"With your support, we will be prepared for every opponent. We will play with tremendous effort. We will compete at the highest level.
"We will Build Champions…and we will WIN.''

The Senate's Food Safety Modernization Act, prematurely announced as a done deal a week ago, is stalled again or "doomed," if you go by some news outlets. In any case, it's in trouble. The Senate bill contains provisions for fees that could technically be considered taxes, and any bill with taxes has to start in the House. Nobody seems to have thought of this, and the clock is ticking as this little technical error morphs into a "potentially fatal" flaw. Part of the mystery lies in the fact that everybody seems to want our food to be safer so much so that the bill had the support of both parties, a consensus that these days is as rare as plutonium. In any case, the chances of getting a newly empowered FDA to protect us from pestilence are slim. But would our food supply be that much safer if the act ends up passing? I don't think so. I think the bill is a poor one. Here's why:
Having power isn't the same thing as exercising it. The bill would give FDA officials, at long last, the ability to issue recalls of contaminated food, rather than just ask nicely for them, as is their current practice. The agency would be able to require more frequent inspections and several other regulatory upgrades. But so what? There are any number of regulatory agencies within the government that are taken about as seriously as the referee at WrestleMania. One need only think of the SEC's swift moves to head off a financial calamity, or the EPA's draconian enforcement of air and water standards among coal companies, to feel better about what's being sold at your local supermarket.
Even if the FDA does flex its muscles, it won't radically overhaul our nation's food supply. As conservative critics of the bill have rightly pointed out, bi- or even triannual inspections of a lettuce plant hardly guarantee that evil microbes won't be there the rest of the time. The bigger problem with our food system is that it's gigantically centralized, with produce from dozens or even hundreds of farms ending up in one place. And that food then gets distributed in a gazillion places. While the bill does include provisions to create a system that can rapidly track down the sources of an infection, even under the best of circumstances, citizens will be barfing in several states by the time the recall comes.
Oh, by the way, the bill doesn't include meat. What? Really? That was my response when I found this out, and I am betting it will be yours, too. The FDA doesn't have any authority over unwholesome hamburgers teeming with E. coli, chickens stewed in salmonella broth, or processed meats with more chemicals in them than a meth lab. Meat still falls under the USDA's domain, which is totally unaffected by this bill.
Big Business loves the bill. A number of the legislation's critics call it out for the burden it will place on midsize businesses. There's no question that it's a lot easier for a massive agribusiness concern to come up with hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) than it is for their smaller rivals to do so. (The smallest farms will be spared, thanks to an amendment by Montana Senator Jon Tester, himself an organic farmer.) The biggest companies already have their own HACCP plans in place, for what that's worth, and it will fall on their competitors to develop their own.
By now, you may be wondering if we would better off without the bill. Yes, it will be expensive, and yes, it might not help much. But I am behind the bill, and want it to pass, however impotent and futile it may be. We need more regulation in our food supply, and in America generally, not less. The short-term impulses of businesses are not always best for us, or even themselves. And the existence of even a slightly strengthened FDA is enough to send them a signal, just as even a slothful, doughnut-munching Chief Wiggum is a better deterrent to criminals than no policeman at all. Furthermore, though it is rarely mentioned, the best part of the law is that it extends regulatory power to imported foods. If American plants are sometimes a little less than stringent in their hygiene, you can imagine what the ones are like in China and other go-go economies. For that reason alone, the bill should be passed. We may sometimes wish for China's economic mojo, but nobody wants it as a model for food-safety oversight.
