In the video below, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly notes that in Andrew Breitbart's last in-depth interview with Paul Bond at "The Hollywood Reporter," (available here) Andrew claimed the left-wing media was out to destroy him, citing Media Matters for America as the primary offender. Andrew accused MMfA of taking orders from the DNC, then passing them along to MSNBC. Andrew called it a "rigged operation" and was furious that a news organization the size of NBC would engage in such dishonesty.
Catching Soros-funded MMfA engaged in the very same thing, only this time directed at O'Reilly himself, Bill walks viewers through it beginning with an edited clip at MM misrepresnting his views, only to have it turn up later that evening on MSNBC.

As you suspect, the pump isn't able to detect the change in gasoline pressure that occurs when the fill level reaches the nozzle. Instead, the nozzle uses several hidden components to shut itself off when the tank is full. There is a small hole near the end of the nozzle that becomes blocked by the liquid gasoline as soon as the fill level reaches that hole. Blocking this hole with gasoline is what shuts off the valve. There is actually a thin tube inside the main gasoline delivery hose that operates this valve system. That tube runs from the hole in the nozzle to a vacuum pump inside the gasoline-pumping unit. While the pump is dispensing gasoline into a partially filled tank, air flows easily into the nozzle's hole and the pressure inside the thin tube remains close to atmospheric pressure. But when the level of gasoline rises high enough, it essentially blocks the hole and the pressure inside the thin tube drops. This pressure drop is what triggers the valve and stops the gasoline flow. Look for the hole near the end of the metal nozzle next time you fill your car with gasoline. In most cases, it's easy to see.
Those dispensers measure the volume of liquid they dispense and shut off when they've delivered enough liquid to fill the cup. They don't monitor where that liquid is going, so if you put the wrong sized cup below them or press the button twice, you're in trouble.

I had sex on Saturday night and took plan b one step, sunday morning but then I have sex again the same day, do I have to take the pill again

Responses (1)
Plan b is intended to be used after sex, in an emergency situation. It isn't birth control. You need to get on the pill and stop shocking your body with massive doses of hormones. Its doubtful that you need another dose because you took it soon before sex, however the manufacturer says don't take it before sex.
Thanks a lot I was worry because I didn't know if I had to take another one and yes I do know it is no a birth control once again thanks :-)

10:38 AM – We were out of the gate of Dela Mar Resort (Timoga Cold Springs) in the outskirts of Iligan City. Our plan was to do a short walk to the Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House. A very short walk, in fact it was just located beside the Dela Mar Resort.
10:40 AM – The gates of the Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House were closed and I was afraid that it was closed for the day. But Lisa Marie went to the small gate and softly called out "Ayo. Ayo." to get the attention of the people inside. Then a lady appeared and let us in.
After a brief hi and hello, she presented us their log book for us to register. There was a box for donation and we donated around 50 Pesos.
I won't go into detail with this post on what can be found inside the compound, but I would like to tell you that this house was the home of two former presidents of the Philippines, Diosdado Macapagal and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. I think that was one of the reasons why it was declared as a Heritage House by the National Historical Institute.
Below are photos during our visit.
Going around, I liked how the house was designed. The inside of the house were a little cramped but I liked the large open veranda and the big grass lawn. I also enjoyed shouting in my head Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum in the playhouse.
11:18 PM – We got out of the gate of the compound and they locked the gate again. We then waved on a passing jeepney and rode it to get to Iligan City Proper. 12 Pesos/person (one-way).
11:38 PM – We got down around the vicinity of Jollibee Aguinaldo. Travel Time of 20 minutes.
We rode again a jeepney bound to Del Carmen to have lunch at Homebrew Cafe.
Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House
There's no standard rates here, but you can donate any amount for them to maintain the place.

Bourjois Mega Liner felt-tip eyeliner: £7.49
I don't feel like myself if I leave the house without my trademark cat eye, due to that i'm constantly on the look out for a new eye liner. When Boots was running its 3-for-2 deal a couple of weeks ago I picked up this little liner pen to try out.
I've tried and tested them all; pencil, gel, liquid and felt tip liners and when push comes to shove I always go back to my best friend L'oreal Perfect Slim Super Liner. So this being a felt tip eyeliner I thought it would be a good choice, as you can see the nib is slightly different to most liners as its squared off.
The liner itself is quite watery which means its easy to apply and goes on really smoothly, it dries really quick and is a deep black colour which is really good. I found it quite hard getting used to the nib of the pen, doing a line was really easy and the squared of tip makes it perfect. However when it came to doing a flick, I struggled big time. They just never came our right, unless I used the tip of the pen which was really hard to do.
Over all I like this eyeliner because its a lot wetter than most of my lines which tend to dry out really quickly making it hard to use, i've found the squared edge really good for doing thin and thick lines above the lash line, however i'm still struggling with the flick and tend to use my other liner for that!
Have you tried this yet, what did you think?

We will be accepting the dominance of campaign contribution into our political system as fact and also a bad thing.
Definitions: not likely to be resolved should be held to the standard of "unforeseeable"
There will multiple rounds. Given the nature of this debate hypothetical arguments and mild game theory are in play.
HOW MUCH CORRUPTION IS THERE? in most cases fear of being voted out if found to be corrupt usually keeps mp or in your case members of congress from straying to far from the rules most cases due to this are isolated incidents over done by the media
You state, "HOW MUCH CORRUPTION IS THERE? in most cases fear of being voted out if found to be corrupt usually keeps mp or in your case members of congress from straying too far from the rules most cases due to this are isolated incidents over done by the media."
This debate centers on the legalized and transparent corruption from unlimited and untraceable campaign contributions from private and public interests. I use the word corrupt as synonymous with rotten. Lobbyists pretend to make contributions as charity. There is a lie told to the public that the intent of contributions is not to influence contributions, as if we can pretend the devil does not exist. Now I will get into my argument.
1.The majority of United States citizens do not like the current campaign financing system. A recent Supreme Court decision, Citizens United vs. the United States Electoral Commission, grants corporations the same first amendment free speech rights as individuals. Sixty-five percent of Americans, almost 2 out of 3, are strongly opposed to the ruling. http://www.washingtonpost.com...
2.Under better circumstances the normal solution to this dilemma would be a constitutional amendment to ban private campaign donations. The framers of the US constitution designed to be malleable to unforeseen events such as this one. Supreme Court members have lifetime appointments. Should Supreme Court members engage in questionable behavior there is no way to remove them from office. Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are known to have attended a political junket not at their expense sponsored by the political group known as the Koch foundation. The Koch brothers are known to be very active political advocates for causes such as Citizen's United. If corruptive influence has found its way into all three branches of government the only solution would be for the United States Citizenry itself to stand together and pass a constitutional amendment to end campaign financing. Current political realities combined with the structure of the US constitution render the possibility of such an amendment exceptionally unlikely. The framers of the US constitution were broad in their attempts to address the unforeseeable. They asked the question- what if congress becomes the problem? Article 5 of the US constitution states. Article V - Amendment Note1 - Note2 - Note3
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
So even if congress is corrupted by private campaign donations and is too conflicted to propose the amendment then the people have the constitutional authority to pass an amendment to the constitution by calling convention with 2/3rds of the state legislature and then ratifying it with either 3/4s of the state legislatures or ad hoc citizens conventions in 3/4s of the various states.
3.)This is still untenable. More than 1 in 4 states and associated citizenry actually benefit from the corruption. The trick with advocating against waste and corruption is to show to each person that it is bad for them overall. Even if a person can see how a single corrupted event, such as farm subsidy, is of benefit to them, that person can be shown how the bulk of rent seeking by all other sources works against them as a whole. The bad of all of it outweighs the partial good of their own visible rent seeking interest. This does not hold true in a minority of states. More than 1 out of 4 states currently benefits from the corruption associated with current campaign financing laws or lack thereof. The small coal and natural gas producing states in particular benefit from the corrupted state of affairs. Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Kansas and West Virginia are small states who produce fossil fuel energy as a massive part of each of their respective GDP's. The majority opinion in the United States is to shift our energy dependence towards renewable energy. In a poll conducted by Opinion Research Corporation 2 out of three US citizens would prefer to end subsidies to oil and gas companies so as to phase out fossil fuel.
This is directly opposed to the 12 above mentioned states. In Wyoming alone 33% of all economic output is in mining.
These 12 states are not likely to restrain the power of large corporations any time soon.
Farm subsidies: Nebraska, Iowa, and Arkansas received over 4.1 billion dollars in farm subsidy in 2008. http://www.pbs.org.... That means that each of the 7.7 million citizens of those states received in excess of $430 each multiplied into their economies.
So there are 15 states that actually benefit from the transparent corruption known as campaign financing in the United States. Only 14 are required to block a constitutional amendment to end campaign financing. Even though 2 out of 3 US citizens oppose unlimited campaign financing a minority of beneficiary states can block a change to the status quo.
I await your response.

I know if I asked what kind of business someone was in, most would start telling me about the kind of services they offer or products they sell. There are two big problems with this.
1. Most people don't care about your product or service, no matter how awesome it is. As soon as they start hearing about a service or product, they start to feel like they are being sold to and up go the walls. A much better solution is, instead of talking about the product or service, give them your Value Proposition.
2. The mindset of immediately talking about the products or services is not good. There is something that is a MUST to understand that will not only help you make more sales, but it will also help you be very clear what kind of business you are really in…
The Real Truth About What Kind Of Business You Are In
The truth is, you are not in the service business or your product business, you are in the people business. Because people are the ones that have the money to pay for the awesome value you provide, you need to make sure that you are focusing more on the people and less on your business. I know that may sound weird, but hear me out…
I do believe you need to spend time on your business, you need to make sure your products are of good quality and your services offer amazing value. All of that is important. But far too often, we as business owners get stuck there. We end up spending 80% – 90% of our time working on and in our business, while the other 10 % – 20% is spent on acquiring new business. This is a great way to kill your business. Without fresh leads, the income will stop and your business begins to fail… But at least you have an awesome product!
A Better Picture
Let's reverse this. Let's say you spent 80% to 90% of your time making it about people. Serving people, offering value to people, honoring people. Not selling. And the other 10%-20% of your time was devoted to working on your business and managing a team that works in your business? How different would things be for you right now?
Think about the last time when someone did something nice for you. Maybe it was a simple "thank you" card, someone paid for your coffee, or maybe took you out to dinner. Or maybe it was a quick phone call checking up on you. I'm guessing your probably felt pretty good. Even if we aren't a "people person" we still all want to feel like we belong, like someone cares. When someone honors us, we take notice. We are much more open to letting them into our life.
When we understand that we are in the people business, our whole outlook can change and we will end up making a bigger impact in people's lives while making more money. How awesome is that!?
Lastly, when you make people your business, what does that say about your own brand? How much more will you stand out from your competitors that are after your prospect's attention as well?
So be real, don't fake it. Honor others and make them your business and watch what happens. It's all a part of Ruling Your Realm in the marketplace!

How many times have we heard writers complain about the quality of their first drafts (i.e. doodoo)? Many would see them buried, and many have indeed buried them and moved on to other endeavors. Most people who get started on writing don't realize how much goes into revising once a first draft is completed. I certainly was one of them. No matter how much you pre-plan, you will still find that the completed first draft of a book is either too thin or, most often, too long and laden with excessive descriptions. It was Stephen King who said in his book, On Writing, that the second draft is the first draft minus ten percent. Learning to rewrite with economy of words is the first step, but my question is, how long should the process of revision take?
What I found out is this: there are no steadfast rules. There are no time frames. There are only opinions, and a lot of them. What everyone unanimously seems to agree on is that once a first draft is completed, a "cool down" period ought to follow before revisions begin. Some go as far as suggesting a couple of months repose. A couple of months?? I think I'd feel so disconnected from my writing by that point that I'd lose any of the original creative momentum it took to write the initial draft. In his blog, literary agent Scott Eagon suggests something far more reasonable, but one thing we can rest assured of is this: there exist no rules.
My two cents? It takes as long to revise a book as it does to write it. If it takes, say, four months to write a novel, then it would take roughly that long to revise it. If it took one year to write it, then it would take a year to revise it. Pretty simple, right? Rewriting is an art in by itself, a much finer one at that, one were sentences are entirely re-arranged for effect. Where the music and cadence of words and lines are honed and tuned. In his book, Revision and Self-Editing, James Scott Bell says you write hot and revise cold. And if there is a lot of garbage and improper grammar usage during these hot moments, don't worry, because you'll be spending plenty of time in that editing freezer.
I just completed my first draft and am in the process of revising it right now, so I've yet to see if my time theory on revising holds, but if it does, I'll be sure to update this blog!
I'd love to hear any opinions on the subject and see just how far off I might be… how long does revising a novel take? And how long should one allow for a cool-down period after completing the first draft?

PlantAmnesty also organizes articles and materials on tree-related subjects, including fruit-tree pruning, tree pruning, saving trees and views, anti-topping and more.
Additionally PlantAmnesty has a series of one page Pruning Topics. They cover everything from timing, rhododendrons and hedges to clematis and radical renovations.
"Pruning Horrors and Pruning Micro-course" is a 2 hour video revealing the three most common forms of bad pruning: tree-topping, stripping (non-selective overthinning or skirting of trees and shrubs), and inappropriate shearing. (In some gardens, shearing is appropriate for some types of plant species.) The definitions of some commonly copied forms of pruning art such as topiary, Japanese cloud pruning, and pollarding are also covered. The show's last section, titled "The Good, The Bad, and the Bizarre", provides examples of general interest.


text: With every release of Firefox, it becomes faster, more lightweight, and more feature friendly (extensions, themes, etc). Camino development has slowed to a crawl, with most of the developers having moved to firefox development. On top of that, Tiger's Safari is a lot faster than Panther's. GMail is now a pleasure to use and general surfing is great. With Firefox's rendering engine being way ahead of Camino's and Camino development moving at a Snail's pace and Safari being much better, I don't see room for Camino in the mac world. I have a feeling this project will probably close down within a year. And not that this is a bad thing at all... because like I said, with each iteration of Firefox, it is integrating better and better into the mac platform. -Kevin

Some jobs have an inherent element of risk where workplace accidents can easily happen. For others they may feel safer at work. In reality a workplace injury or illness can happen at any Pennsylvania workplace. When someone is injured on the job, workers' compensation is available to help cover the costs of the accident.
These costs can include lost wages, medical expenses and rehabilitative costs. Those who suffer permanent disability in a workplace accident may rely on workers' compensation to cover all the necessary expenses for their families. Nearly 40 percent of these families receive this compensation on state issued debt cards.
As of March 15, Pennsylvanians receiving workers' compensation on debit cards will need to switch to a new card system. The state has announced that it will be making a switch because the old system had so many unnecessary fees. For example, some people were getting charged just for having the cards whether or not they are using them. Under the current system people are also charged for moving their workers' compensation payments into personal accounts.
Under the new system, it is estimated that the 150,000 Pennsylvanians receiving workers' compensation payments through the use of a debit card will save $5 million in fee charges. With the new card -- sponsored through JP Morgan Chase -- there will be more ATMs and fewer fees. According to officials, there will be no fees for accessing money through network ATMs.
This is likely good news for many injured employees who rely on workers' compensation to make ends meet while they recover. This change allows them to get more out of the benefits they deserve.

To do whatever is required of you in any situation without it becoming a role that you identify with is an essential lesson in the art of living that each one of us has to learn.
You are most powerful, most effective, when you are completely yourself.
~ Eckhart Tolle : A New Earth.
Deb, her dog Ollie and I went for a walk this morning along one of our local beaches. The sun was shining and it was warm again – for June. There was no need for a jacket. Barefoot; we walked on the very edge of the ocean. As always, it felt good.
It occurred to me that after battling some really wild weather of late, the beach looked ragged, worn and a little beaten up – but was still beautiful, strong and powerful when you looked beyond the surface.
A bit like how we both probably felt sometimes…battling the 'same shit, different bucket' as Deb has often put it – perfectly. We've all been there, or most of us have anyway, because we all have something going on, we all have a story – some buckets are just fuller than others
"How are you going?" Deb asked after we'd been walking for awhile.
"I'm doing OK," I replied honestly, and then we went on to talk about a dozen different things, as we always do. We laughed, we discussed in earnest, we almost cried…but then we have had these kinds of conversations for too many years to count – even just driving through the busy streets of Sydney; at a time when we didn't have a care in the world.
True story: on one of these trips , we laughed that much one morning on our way into the city (or were we crying) or maybe we laughed until we cried- that Deb ended up with mascara in her eyes. Driving blind, she crossed two lanes of traffic and jumped a curb, without hitting one single car. When we came to a stop, we looked at each other stunned and burst out laughing. This has absolutely nothing to do with what I was writing about; except to demonstrate I guess that having someone to laugh and cry with is a pretty important tool to have when going through – anything.
After our walk I thought for a while about what else has helped me to continue putting one foot in front of the other as my family continue on our cancer roller coaster. I can honestly say that besides a strong faith, a really good daily practice and loads of love …I try not to get too far ahead of myself, and so far that's working.
Sure I and we (husband, kids and me) make plans, both short and long term, but we put most of our energy into what we're doing today…. and today has been a really good day! Nothing out of the ordinary – just a good day.
Then I thought about the few sentences I'd read in A New Earth recently ( I have added them to the top of this post) and I realised that in taking things as they come, the best way we can, we are not focusing on roles, we are just being us. Those few sentences started to make a lot of sense to me.
By being ourselves without role playing (carer, parent, victim, cancer patient…you get the drift) , and staying in the moment….it kinda makes the rest doable for the most part. For me anyway. This doesn't mean I don't have an acute sense of what our situation is, it just means that like the beach today, I too can feel a little battered and bruised some days without losing my hope, strength and power.
And that can only be a good thing!
I know my husband will be disappointed when he reads this post because that's not the Role Playing story I think he was hoping for … but I bet he reads it all the way to the end just incase 😉 !!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

The authority did not say how much Vivendi would need to divest in either company but ordered the French group to present it with a "specific plan of action" within 60 days.
This might include an appeal to an Italian Regional Administrative Tribunal (TAR) and a formal complaint with the European Commission for violation of EU law, Vivendi said.
While AGCOM has ruled that Vivendi is in breach of Italian law, it has not specified exactly how much of a divestment in either of the two companies will be required.
Italy's communications regulator threw a wrench into Vincent Bollore's quest to expand his media empire, ruling the French billionaire can't keep both of the large stakes he has built up in Mediaset SpA and Telecom Italia SpA.
The decision marks a victory for Mediaset which has been battling with Vivendi in court after the group chaired by billionaire Vincent Bolloré previous year pulled out of an $860 million deal to buy Mediaset's pay-TV unit and a few months later gained a almost 30% stake, and significant shareholder voting rights in Mediaset, with rapid fire share purchases.More news: Cristiano Ronaldo comes through at perfect moment for Real Madrid
Vivendi now controls about 24% of Telecom Italia and 28.8% of Mediaset. Those laws were put in place when Berlusconi was prime minister to prevent dominance of a single media player.
Giordani said on Wednesday that Vivendi, which now holds a 28.8 percent stake in Mediaset, does have a relevant influence in the broadcaster's activities, in line with a ruling by an Italian regulator on Tuesday.
Vivendi has been attempting to tighten its grip on Telecom Italia and also began aggressively building its stake in Mediaset in December, when it only had a 3% stake in the company.
Vivendi released a statement on Tuesday saying that it "neither controls nor exercises a dominant influence on Mediaset" and said it was considering legal action.
In a statement, Vivendi said it was surprised by the ruling, adding that it had not violated Italian law in holding stakes in both companies. One scenario is that they could even perhaps revive the partnership that went sour after the Mediaset Premium deal, albeit in a different form.

The promoter pulled the three-day event in July after the venue, Skogafoss waterfall, was added to a list of endangered areas.
The three-day event was due to take place at Skogafoss waterfall from July 14th through 16th, with the London trio joined by the likes of Floating Points, Call Super and Avalon Emerson. However, in the time since it was announced, the waterfall has been added to the Environmental Agency Of Iceland's list of endangered areas. In a statement posted to Facebook, The Warehouse Project, who were one of the promoter's behind the event, said "the challenges on this site were insurmountable and it was not possible to secure another suitable venue in time."
Refunds will be offered to anyone who bought a ticket. If you bought one via RA, the festival has issued the following instructions.
"Please allow five working days for your refund. For any further enquiries relating to flights, accommodation and transfers that have already been booked and will no longer be used, please contact: [email protected] This email address will be monitored from 9 AM through 9 PM BST each day and we will deal with all enquiries as quickly as possible."
