P- *slight chuckle* The fantasy of the dreamer has no effect on the human being... *I don't remember the rest but it was something about fantasies, the human race and some "system"*
Me- Please clarify, I do not understand.
P- At the dawn of time, there was a stash. And when the WORLD began, that stash came to be. When TIME began, the stash was weak and small. And as time went on the stash grew in power. The stash could heal or kill. Open this stash indeed time would dawn again, and then only then could you answer that question. The stash is always open, but the human race has merely blocked thesmselves from it.
Hey, Jackson!
I actually read your post on the Intra-Consciousness, which I found very interesting because I have yet to read Waggoner's book, although I am familiar with Jung's collective unconscious (I know they differ, but essentially describe a unity consciousness that can either be drawn upon, or is a part of all of us.).
Although I do tend to be Jungian in my approach to dream interpretation in the sense that I believe the dream world is all a part of our consciousness, I am fascinated and very open (I guess hopeful) that we are all connected and the possibility that consciousness is the building block to everything else (if that makes sense).
I was pretty amazed by the conversation you had with the presence, as well as you feeling it. Did it ever have a face, body, or any type of visual attributes?
Both of our dreams pretty much ignored the question we asked! But yours at least gave some hints toward the answer. The "system" that was referred to reminded me of simulation hypothesis, where we are living out a simulation of what the real reality was like. But it also reminds me of a lucid dream I had where I called out for my dream to take me where it needed me to go, and I was subsequently pulled out into space backwards (one of my posts). When I got out to space, I came upon one of the most beautiful sights I have ever laid my eyes upon (even if it was my dream eyes): It was the universe, and I kept getting closer and closer until I was watching these very colorful organisms But more than the visual pleasure, I had a very powerful intuition, or a type of direct knowing, which was the universe was composed by many organisms of consciousness, yet were all one being. When one was born (or created) it had little to no consciousness, and as it grew, it became infinitely more conscious (or powerful in relation to your dream). Maybe the stash is the source? And what he said about the fantasy of the dreamer having no effect on the human...I'm intrigued, but lost in the proverbial sauce.
IF intra-consciousness / collective unconscious were true, then couldn't we possibly already have the answers? Which could explain the reason that both of our dreams laughed at us when we asked? What if the stash was your true expanded consciousness, and we are all blocked...by what/how/why I don't know (just a thought experiment )
I wonder if you, and also I, had been more assertive and persistent toward the answer of our questions if they would have been answered in a direct manner. But then again, your dream told you that you WILL play the game. I also wonder what kind of information you would get if you asked about the stash in a future LD.
Your dream got my head cogs turnin'!

New Ind. judge to hear 2010 juvenile murder case
New Ind. judge to hear 2010 juvenile murder case
WARSAW, Ind. —
An Indiana judge who sent a 12-year-old boy to adult court where he pleaded guilty to murder won't preside over a hearing to determine if he should be tried as a juvenile.
The attorney who filed Paul Henry Gingerich's successful appeal requested a new judge. The Indianapolis Star reports Whitley County Judge James Heuer will handle the case.
Gingerich is now 15 and in juvenile prison for helping a friend kill his stepfather in 2010.
The Indiana Court of Appeals threw out his guilty plea and sentence in December and ordered the new hearing, saying a Kosciusko County judge rushed when he waived the case to adult court.
Attorney Monica Foster argued that Gingerich didn't understand the legal process or the plea bargain to which he agreed.

Avicenna reports on the progress of the case against the guys who raped and murdered Jyoti Singh.
Manohar Lal Sharma has been named as the Defence Lawyer for the Delhi Rape/Murder case which he is planning to plead "not guilty" to. And boy is he a real piece of work. Remember how Anil from AVfM said "women have it better than men"? I probably have to apologise to him (And to Astrokid), because Sharma has it figured out.
Well Manohar Lal Sharma is all about women. In his infinite knowledge about the female body has analysed the case meticulously and found that in his experience there are no rapes of "respected ladies". In addition the male companion was wholly responsible for the incident as the unmarried couple should not have been on the streets, particularly with such a weed since he was incapable of defending her against six armed dudes. It's his fault for being so bad in a fist fight and it's her fault for not checking his ability to fist fight.
"Until today I have not seen a single incident or example of rape with a respected lady," Sharma said in an interview at a cafe outside the Supreme Court in India's capital. "Even an underworld don would not like to touch a girl with respect."
It was Jyoti Singh's fault, in other words, because she was the kind of dirty slutty woman who isn't respected.

In "Dynamic Datasheets," October 2000, I showed you how to use FrontPage 2000 to publish SQL Server datasheets from a Web site or intranet site. To demonstrate how easy it is to create a subweb that serves as a web site for publishing SQL Server database contents, I presented two publishing examples that relied on SQL Server tables. In this issue, I cover publishing SQL Server datasheets that are based on custom T-SQL statements, and I show you a workaround for a problem that the FrontPage 2000 Database Wizard has with publishing certain T-SQL statements. I also give an example of how to create a search form that lets users designate at runtime the contents that will appear in a published datasheet. The Database Wizard is attractive because it dynamically reveals the contents of a SQL Server database, a feature that can be useful when realtime updates of database contents are necessary, as in inventory applications.
Setting Up and the First Example
For this article's examples, you need to open FrontPage 2000 and create a subweb for the examples. From the root FrontPage web, choose File, New, Web. In the New dialog box's control for specifying the subweb's location, enter SQLMagDBWiz2 as the subweb's name under the root web (http://server_name). Next, start the Database Wizard; choose Insert, Database, Results to open the first of five main Database Wizard screens. Create a database connection (or reference an existing connection) to the Northwind database on the SQL Server machine to which you log in. ("Dynamic Datasheets" gives detailed instructions for setting up the connection.) Then, advance to the second screen by clicking Next.
On the second screen, select Custom query, then click Edit to open the Custom Query dialog box that Figure 1 shows. In this dialog box, you can enter any custom T-SQL string to specify a result set for a datasheet. The example in Figure 1 returns the CategoryName, ProductName, UnitsInStock, UnitsOnOrder, and ReorderLevel columns from the joined Categories and Products tables. Note that you can paste the query from the Clipboard. So, if you're developing with Microsoft Office, you can use the Microsoft Access visual design tool to graphically create a view, then copy the T-SQL code from Access to the Custom Query dialog box. ("SQL Server Views with Access 2000," January 2000, describes how to create views graphically.) If you have the SQL Server client tools but not the Office 2000 suite, you can use Enterprise Manager to create the views. See "How to access the Query Designer to design a view" in SQL Server Books Online (BOL) for detailed instructions.
To finish publishing a datasheet based on the custom T-SQL statement, click OK to close the Custom Query dialog box, then click Next in the second, third, and fourth Database Wizard screens. On the final wizard screen, create an Active Server Pages (ASP) page based on the datasheet by clicking Finish. Before you can view the page, you must save it by choosing File, Save As and specifying full_category_product_list as the filename. FrontPage 2000 automatically designates the currently active subweb as the storage location and assigns the page an .asp file type. You can click the Preview In Browser button on the toolbar or navigate your browser to http://server_name/ SQLMagDBWiz2/full_category_ product _list.asp to view the page.
Using > and
When you construct custom T-SQL statements, your WHERE clauses often include a greater-than (>) or less-than (<) symbol. The datasheet in the preceding example lists all products and the categories they belong to and the products' UnitsInStock, UnitsOnOrder, and ReorderLevel values. However, you might easily show just the products with UnitsInStock values that are less than their ReorderLevel values. The T-SQL statement to generate this result set is identical to the statement in the first example, with the addition of a WHERE clause. The necessary WHERE clause requires a
Figure 2 shows the Custom Query dialog box for a T-SQL statement that includes a WHERE clause like the one I just described. To check the statement's syntax, click the Verify Query button in the Custom Query dialog box. The FrontPage Database Wizard replies with another dialog box that says the query was verified. Click OK to close this dialog box, then continue through to the end of the wizard screens, as you did in the preceding example. Finally, save the page as stock_below_reorder_string.
When you attempt to examine this second datasheet by either clicking the Preview In Browser toolbar control or navigating in a browser to http://server_name/ SQLMagDBWiz2/stock_below_reorder_string.asp, you get an error message like the one in Figure 3. Curiously, the message points to an error near the > symbol despite the fact that the query statement contains no > symbol. And you saw that the Database Wizard confirmed the validity of the statement.
So, what causes this error? And more important, how can you work around the problem? In this instance, the problem stems from the WHERE clause because this statement is otherwise identical to the preceding statement. Evidently, the FrontPage Database Wizard doesn't process this WHERE clause properly. When I examined in Notepad the ASP script that the wizard generated, I discovered the following expression:
fp_sQry="SELECT Categories.CategoryName, Products.ProductName, Products.UnitsInStock, Products.UnitsOnOrder, Products.ReorderLevel FROM Categories INNER JOIN Products ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryID WHERE (Products.UnitsInStock l)".
Notice that the three characters >|) aren't part of a standard T-SQL SELECT statement. These characters include a > symbol, which is where the error message said a syntax error existed. If you remove those three nonstandard characters and save the page, your browser can open the page and browse the corrected T-SQL string. Unfortunately, if you subsequently try to use the FrontPage Editor to edit the page, FrontPage automatically restores the faulty characters.
A more robust solution to the problem is to use the T-SQL statement to create a view ("SQL Server Views with Access 2000" explains how). Then, you can publish a datasheet based on the view. To test this solution, you can use the T-SQL statement from Figure 2 to create a view named SQLMagDBWiz2, then invoke the Database Wizard and select the SQLMagDBWiz2 view as the source for a datasheet. Save the new web page based on the view as stock_below_reorder_view. Figure 4 shows the web page displayed in a browser. Notice that each row has a UnitsInStock value that is less than the ReorderLevel value, as the WHERE clause specified.
Creating a Search Form
Although many applications require you to set up custom queries at design time, other applications require the flexibility to let users designate query criteria at runtime. Runtime designation is typical of search forms in which users specify criteria that generate a result set. For example, you can let users search for all records with a UnitsOnOrder value equal to a value they designate. The FrontPage Database Wizard automates the creation of search forms and of corresponding datasheets for the result sets.
Figure 5, page 36, shows a search form that the Database Wizard generated. The form's source database object is the SQLMagDBWiz2 view. This form initially returns rows with a UnitsOnOrder value of zero, but you can specify any default value. In addition, users can input a value, say 10, in the UnitsOnOrder text box and click Submit Query. This search criterion generates a result set containing rows with a UnitsOnOrder value of 10.
When creating search forms with the Database Wizard, always click the More Options button on the Database Results Wizard - Step 3 of 5 screen, which opens a More Options dialog box that has Criteria and Ordering buttons. A Defaults button appears but is initially disabled. Click Criteria to open the Criteria dialog box, in which you can designate a field for users to input a search value at runtime.
Figure 6 shows the Criteria and Add Criteria dialog boxes as they appear after you click the Add button in the Criteria dialog box. In the Add Criteria dialog box, you can use the top drop-down list box to designate a Field Name for the form to search on. Next, you can designate a comparison operator between the value that a user specifies and the value in a row. Available operators besides the Equals operator include Not Equal, Less Than, Not Less Than, Greater Than, and Not Greater Than. Type in the Value text box the name of a column value to compare with the user-specified value, and make sure the Use this search form field check box is selected. You can specify a criterion that users can't alter from the search form. Clear the check box so that you can specify the criteria and assign them default values as the next paragraph describes. You can also designate as many criteria fields as there are columns in the source datasheet. And you can combine criteria by using the And or the Or operator.
After you specify the criteria and click OK to return to the More Options dialog box, FrontPage enables the Defaults control. You can use the Defaults dialog box to set initial values for each criterion field. If you don't specify an initial value for a criterion field, the datasheet below the search form will remain empty until a user specifies a criterion value.
Click OK to close the Defaults and More Options dialog boxes. Then, progress through the Database Wizard screens as you did in previous examples and save the resulting web page. (Your form will look like the one in Figure 5.)
FrontPage to the Rescue
Getting to databases across the Web is increasingly important these days. Web access to a database vastly expands the potential community of users, which increases the database's value. Making a database accessible across the Web can often involve immersing yourself in complicated scripted solutions interspersed with HTML. Busy Office developers or SQL Server DBAs might not have time to acquire those skills, but the FrontPage 2000 Database Wizard can come to the rescue by providing a simple yet flexible way to report SQL Server data over web connections. And because the wizard uses ASP to publish datasheets and forms, users browsing a page with Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) or Netscape Navigator browsers will always see the latest data.

Skip to comments.Michigan Supreme Court justice charged with fraud (Dem)
Posted on 01/20/2013 6:20:58 AM PST by PapaBear3625
Federal prosecutors have filed a fraud charge against Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway, just a few days before she leaves the state's highest court in a scandal involving the sale of a Detroit-area home and suspicious steps taken to conceal property in Florida.
Hathaway was halfway through an eight-year term on the court, the result of a major election upset over then-Chief Justice Cliff Taylor in 2008. Her victory put Democrats in control of the court for a two-year period. She was a Wayne County judge before joining the Supreme Court.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
She will be going from living in two very big houses to considerably less lavish living accommodations. Jail.
All the school shooters were dems or children of dems too...
Ideas have consequences... New Orleans mayor was on the take too... Dem cities have the most crime.
Chances are she won't spend a minute in jail.
These people ALWAYS protect their own.
She should. As the article put it...
If she walked into a bank with a note and demanded $500,000 and then was caught, she would go to jail.
Essentially, that is what she did, except for the part about actually walking into a bank branch. She used a piece of paper to steal a lot of money.
She sounds like a typical Democrat attorney to me.
It wasn't just bad judgement. It looks like she engaged in fraud, concealing a major asset ($600K Florida home) by transferring to her kid, before negotiating with the bank over her Florida home, which means bank fraud.
That's probably why Holder's people did federal charges. It protects her from state charges (double jeopardy). Then, Holder can stall the case for a couple of years, and quietly drop it.
Good thing the case did not start in Michigan. Probably in Florida when it began, no one knew her position in Michigan.
She must be a pretty poor attorney...she can quit claim the property but she cannot quit claim the indenture which is a lien on the property and in her name.
Holder won't need to forestall it either, just apply the Corzine template: Democrat or Republican. If Democrat dismiss the case.
Surprised the feds did not cover this up. Usually the Obama "Justice" Department protects its own...some kind of screw-up.
In Michigan, members of the Supreme Court are nominated by the two parties and run on a non-partisan ballot...I'm not kidding...she was selected by the Dems because of her long, leggy look, she carries herself like a platform model...of course the low information Dem voters went for her.
Now look at what they've got.
Talk about crazy eyes, enjoy your time in the slammer.
The short sale in Michigan allowed the couple to erase nearly $600,000 in mortgage debt on the $1.5-million Grosse Pointe Park home, which eventually sold for $850,000. The debt-free Windermere, Fla., home then went back into their names.
The maximum penalty on conviction of bank fraud is 30 years in prison.
Hathaway, 58, filed retirement papers with the state
Retiring at 58. A soft lannding if there ever was one.
The silver lining is Snyder will probably appoint the next Conservative runner-up that missed out in 2012. His or Her name escapes me.
Dem cities have the most crime.
One notable thing about Dems — they have deep streaks of envy in them. Nearly all of the Dems I know and have worked with had an entitlement like attitude about money. They think they deserve the trappings of wealth, and lots of it. After all, they consider themselves superior to the rest of the masses so its no surprise when you see them taking ethical and legal shortcuts to get it.
The maximum penalty on conviction of bank fraud is 30 years in prison.
Not if you're a Democrat in good standing with the Party. Very unlikely she'll ever do any real time.

After repeated expulsions and permission to re-enter into various countries (for economic reasons not for "love" of Jews) during the Middle Ages, European anti-semitism continued.

Murder, perfectionism, family stress and sometimes— in the midst of it all — triumph over struggles, are what Venus Theatre's productions are made of for the upcoming 2013 season.
After going through mounds of scripts, Venus Theatre founder Deb Randall unveiled her picks this month for a season she's dubbed Lucky 13.
"I'm calling it that because I started Venus in 2000 and I'm looking forward to a great season," said Randall, whose productions highlight women's issues and showcase female playwrights. The theater is located off Main Street on C Street, in Laurel's Arts and Entertainment District.
Baltimore plays prominently in the scheduled productions in terms of some of the settings and playwrights. The season's first production, "Following Sarah," which opens April 4, was written by Rich Espey, a science teacher at the Park School of Baltimore. Espey also teaches writing at Center Stage in Baltimore. He is a three-time winner of the Carol Weinberg Award for best play at the Baltimore Playwrights festival and a two-time winner of the Maryland State Arts Council's Individual Artist Award in Playwriting.
"I did a reading of one of his works in 2003 and it's great to see how his style of writing has grown," Randall said.
"Following Sarah" focuses on four high school girls at a private academy who are all affected by a devastating decision one of them makes. There's also the element of the girls trying to be perfect to meet the standards of the group's leader, coupled with a bit of surrealism.
In casting two of the female characters in the play, Randall was looking to Laurel High in her search to fill the roles.
"I have a great relationship with the drama teacher there and he knows what I'm looking for to fill the roles of an Asian and African-American, 17- and 18-year-old," she said. "I usually get my cast from D.C. and Baltimore. In 2004, with the 'Ugly Duckling' production, I went to the Duke Ellington (School of the Arts in Washington), but I thought that since I'm here in Laurel, I'd see what's here locally."
The second production, "Grieving for Genevieve," opens June 6 and is set in a Baltimore working class neighborhood. The play revolves around three sisters and their mother, Genevieve, who Randall describes as a chain-smoking, retired nurse.
In this work, the family comes together for the wedding of one of the sisters. Fireworks are sure to explode in this production as the bride-to-be, an erotic apparel designer who also works for a rock band, takes a third walk down the aisle, surrounded by her sisters — an anxiety-riddled nun and a guitar repairer returning home from New York City.
The play was written by Kathleen Warnock, who is based in New York City and has had her works performed on stage in New York and at the Emerging Artists Theater at the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival.
Although Randall said "Grieving for Genevieve" is "one of the funniest scripts ever written," it happens to be rife with "f bombs." She rates this one for adults only.
On Sept. 5, Fengar Gael's "Gift of Forgotten Tongues" will open at Venus Theatre.
Gael's plays have been produced in theaters around the country and last season, her play "Devil Dog Six" was in Venus Theatre's lineup. In this season's show, a brilliant young linguist works to translate the fading language of two patients, who are the victims of a genetic experiment. Her work results in a conflict with her father, who believes the patients hold the key to the future of the human race.
Also returning to Venus this season is Middle Tennessee State University professor and playwright Claudia Barnett. Her plays "Feather" and "Another Manhattan" had runs in previous seasons at Venus Theatre.
This year Barnett's play "No. 731 Degraw-Street, Brooklyn, or Emily Dickinson's Sister," will debut Nov. 7 at the C Street theater. The plot centers around the true story of noted author Dickinson's sister, Kate Stoddard, who murdered her husband in 1873 after he threw her out of their home in the middle of a blizzard.
"This play has an Edgar Allen Poe flair to it because the writer captures her (Stoddard) madness in a dark and very poetic way," Randall said. "I'm drawn to pieces that take place in the turn of the 19th century before women had the right to vote and were seen as objects in society. It informs us how far we have come and that we still see some of those issues today."
In past seasons, Randall has staged productions that have received Helen Hayes Recommended recognition, and after premiering at Venus Theatre, "Zelda at the Oasis" had a recent run off Broadway.
However, the theater's turnout has not grown over the years and is sparse at many performances. Randall said she does not currently have a marketing budget because the majority of the theater's funding goes to pay the salaries of the professional actors in the company's productions.
"Theater attendance is a difficult issue for all theaters of every size. When it comes to women's work and new work, the level of difficulty increases tremendously," Randall said. "But development is coming to C Street and I hope the city puts up signage pointing people to C Street. … I am committed to doing all I can to put the professional arts as the center of economic development on C Street."

Although Florida soundly beat a tough Arkansas squad at home on Saturday, the Gators' Tuesday road loss to Missouri was too much for voters to ignore.
On Monday, Florida (22-4, 12-2 SEC) dropped three spots to No. 8 in The Associated Press Poll, while also falling two spots to No. 6 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. The Gators are the only SEC team to be ranked in the top 25 in either poll.
Florida has been ranked in the top 5 on four different occasions this season, but only once did it manage to retain its ranking two weeks in a row.
The Gators remain inside the top 5 of the RPI rankings, checking in at No. 4.
The team will travel to Knoxville, Tenn., this afternoon ahead of its game on Tuesday night against Tennessee (16-10, 8-6 SEC). Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. and the game will be shown live on ESPN.

- Bluetooth Overview
- Full Article
Over the last several years, our electronic devices have become increasingly adept at communicating with one another. And in the world of consumer electronics, few recent innovations have had as great an impact--on our daily lives, and on the technology of communication--as Bluetooth.
Bluetooth provides an efficient and practical means of linking devices without the need for wires or an active internet connection. By sending out signals through a process called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), Bluetooth seamlessly establishes connections between up to 8 devices in one network. While Bluetooth was deliberately designed to work within a relatively small 32-foot radius, the signal nonetheless carries through walls and other dividers with ease, making it ideal for connecting all of the devices in your home.
Bluetooth technology is now found in a wide range of consumer electronics, including personal computers, televisions, and cell phones, all of which can easily integrate with dedicated Bluetooth devices like headsets, speakers, and car adapters. This integration translates to easier and more efficient sharing of information, as well as enhanced mobility for those always on the go. Better yet, Bluetooth requires very little energy and functions automatically, so communication between devices is seamless, fast, and doesn't drain battery life. If you aren't using Bluetooth already, try it today, and open up a whole new conversation between the technologies in your life.
Over the last several years, our electronic devices have become increasingly adept at communicating with one another. And in the world of consumer electronics, few recent innovations have had as great an impact--on our daily lives, and on the technology of communication--as Bluetooth. Most are familiar with Bluetooth technology in some sense--even if you don't use it yourself, you've probably seen it in action in the form of a hands-free headset, or maybe heard it through a car stereo. But odds are you've also been around the technology in other applications without ever having been aware of it.
The name Bluetooth can actually tell us a great deal about the concept behind the technology, and about what the designers originally set out to accomplish. Harold Bluetooth, one of history's great uniters, was a 10th century Norwegian king known for bringing together a number of dissonant tribes under a single, cooperative kingdom. Similarly, Bluetooth technology was designed to unite the channels of communication between devices, to enhance compatibility and simplify connections between the many tasks that have come to make up modern life.
There are, of course, a number of other ways that devices can communicate with one another: various cables, WiFi, and Infrared signals provide the means of connection for many consumer electronics, each with its own preferred applications and advantages. But Bluetooth provided a unique solution to many of their limitations, and has proven ideally suited for use with cell phones and related technologies.
How does Bluetooth work?
Bluetooth functions through a process called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). FHSS allows devices to send out a series of low-power radio waves over a rapidly changing set of frequencies. Because the frequency changes so quickly (roughly 1,600 times a second), and because signals are kept relatively short (at around a 32-ft radius), the chance of interference is extremely small.
These safeguards allow Bluetooth devices to communicate near-constantly and automatically--meaning that without any work on your part, a Bluetooth can quickly and efficiently begin a 'conversation' with any other enabled devices in its signal range, and quickly discern whether or not those devices have something to share.
Practical Applications:
Bluetooth technology has a wide range of applications, but the most common consumer uses are:
- Wireless connections between cell phones and hands-free headsets
- Exchanges of files, contacts, and time-sensitive reminders between devices
- Wireless connections between cell phones and compatible car stereo systems
- Wireless communications between personal computers and related hardware (mouses, keyboards, printers etc.)
- Transfers between personal computers in a confined spaces
It's important to note that these applications aren't necessarily separate. Bluetooth allows simultaneous connection between up to 8 devices, in what's generally referred to as a "piconet" (a small, functional network formed between devices). But what does this mean in a practical sense?
In the well-equipped, modern home, one might find half a dozen Bluetooth-equipped devices within a single room. A laptop, a television, a Blu-Ray player, a cordless phone, a receiver--all are likely to use Bluetooth, and all are capable of conversing. Once an initial network is created--between the cordless phone and its handset, let's say--a series of conversations will begin between all of the devices within range. Almost immediately, you have the capability to link virtually every device in your home, synchronizing files, reminders, preferences--all the things that make your devices your own.
Bluetooth vs. WiFi:
The most important distinctions between Bluetooth and WiFi have to do with power. Unlike WiFi, Bluetooth is designed to work on an extremely small amount of energy, making it much better suited for cell phones and other small devices, where extended battery life is paramount. Of course, WiFi's greater power requirements translate to faster and larger transfers of information, but Bluetooth nonetheless operates smoothly and quickly in all of its conventional applications.
Why Bluetooth?
The absence of wires is only the beginning. For those of us permanently attached to our cell phones, Bluetooth headsets, speakerphones, and car adapters provide an easy and simple way of increasing the comfort and ease of our daily interactions. With even greater integration--between personal computers, phones, televisions, and the like--the need to repeat our interactions with devices is eliminated, and a variety of complicated tasks become infinitely simpler. The advantages extend into the realm of entertainment, where Bluetooth provides an easy way to manage our favorite audio and video content, keep track of programming, and share what we love.

By Jonathan Allen
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fewer people died in fires in New York City in 2012 than in any year since modern record keeping began nearly a century ago, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Wednesday.
There were 58 fire-related deaths last year, compared to 66 in 2011, according to the city's data, which extends back to 1916.
Bloomberg said the shrinking figures marked a continual decline in fire-related deaths in recent decades. There was an average of 140 fire-related deaths a year in the 1990s, and 278 in the 1970s, according to the city.
"With (a) record low number of murders and shootings and the fewest fire deaths in our city's history, 2012 was a historic year for public safety," Bloomberg said in a statement.
Last week, he announced that there were fewer homicides in the city -- 414 in 2012 -- than at any point since modern crime records began in 1963.
The fire department's ambulance service also broke a new record for response times, Bloomberg said. The average response time to life-threatening medical emergencies was 6:30 minutes in 2012, shaving off a second from the previous record set in 2011, he said.
Response times to structural fires increased slightly to an average of 4:04 minutes last year, compared to 4:02 or 4:01 minutes for the preceding three years. Bloomberg said this was due in part to the nearly 100 structural fires caused by superstorm Sandy in October.
In nearly 80 percent of fatal fires last year, there was no working fire detector installed at the site, Bloomberg said. Most of the year's deadly fires were accidents caused by malfunctioning electrical equipment or cigarettes.
Kat Thomson, the research director for the Uniformed Fire Officers Association, one of the city's main firefighter unions, said the statistics announced on Wednesday did not mention civilian or firefighter injuries, and in failing to do so gave an "incomplete picture" of the year.
The union also said the fire department did not say whether it met standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), including the guideline that response times should exceed four minutes in no more than 10 percent of calls.
"To rely on a single average response time is to paint a false picture of protection because there's areas of Staten Island and Queens that have disproportionately high response times," Thomson said, referring to two of the city's outer boroughs.
A spokesman for the fire department said it was unable to provide information on injuries and NFPA guideline compliance, as the FDNY's final report for 2012 has not yet been released.
One firefighter was killed in the line of duty last year, the first such death since 2009.

Old-school trainers are the best, I'm personally partial to dad's favourite the Hi-Tec Squash but these Nike Waffle Racers are pretty close to the real thing.
A Vintage Find: My Retro Sunnies from Rokit
I'm currently down in London, lapping up the (dubious) sunshine and attempting to dress in a way befitting of the cramped, and quite frankly grumpy, tube passengers. Turns out their not too pleased about being next to someone wearing a blazer with Margiela-esque shoulderpads. Basically, the heat is ridiculous and so yesterday I wondered into Convent Garden and bought some vintage sunglasses at Rokit.
Love The Look: Ewan's Down With Love
Ewan McGregor, Brandish fave and actor extraordinaire, has made it as this week's 'Love The Look' style icon. While not actually a look he created himself, McGregor's get-ups in the film 'Down With Love' were unbelievable.
Checkbreak: Vintage faded Hawaiian shirt
At the Arcadia Christmas press day yesterday I was reminded that flannel/check/plaid is going to be huge this autumn, both Burton and Topman had lumberjack-style shirts in their collections. As much as we've been plugging madras on Brandish maybe it's time to take a checkbreak for a month or two so you don't get too bored of the trend. Printed …
Everyday Fashion Miracles: Vintage Variety
I happened through a series of make-believe fashion-related and totally cool occurrences to be watching Britain's Got Talent the other night and as a result I was witness to the horror of Hoop La La. No, this is not some Christian cult or Paganistic ritual it is the work of Jessie, Craig and Tina; a group of students hoping to make it big with their hula-hoop act.
After watching I was inspired to right a piece on vintage clothing and while unexpectedly drawn from the image of a Scot in hot-pants, there is greater reasoning after the jump.
Uniqlo's Vintage Chinos
Chino's are the perfect mix of jean and trouser, but it was excruciatingly difficult to get hold of great fitting chino's as they're still a rather American item. This all changed with Uniqlo's Vintage flat front chino's. Whilst the price point is usually the selling point with Uniqlo – and at £25, it's a great price – the detailing is what makes this piece stand out.
Adidas Rod Laver Vintage
There's times when you want your footwear
to be the centrepiece of your outfit and there's times when you just want them
to bring together what you're wearing. These Adidas
Rod Laver trainers are for those latter occasions. With no branding on the
outside, it's perfect for those times when you don't want to feel like a
walking billboard.
Jarvis Cocker at Coachella
Jarvis has moved on from his charity shop chic uniform of his Britpop years and has settled in nicely to a check shirt, jeans, buckle belt and corduroy jacket.

Tampa Divorce Help Florida 33602
What is a divorce coach and why would you want to hire one?
The first part of the question is simple to answer and harder to explain. The term divorce coach covers a pretty broad spectrum at the moment. There are different types of divorce coaches practicing in the divorce field, mainly because the word 'coach' can be used broadly. This will not always be the case but for now it is and so you need to be aware that not all divorce coaches do the same thing.
Several of the trains only operate in collective divorce. Indicating they will partner you via a collective separation and also like the other participants of your separation team will quit working with you when your separation is worked out. These trains are educated to assist you survive the divorce with your self-respect and also integrity intact. A collective divorce is when the two parties concur not to prosecute and to attempt to keep points as pleasant and also respectful as possible for any type of children included and also themselves. Joint separation can include teams of experts in order to help the individuals reach their goals. A divorce trainer for every spouse is common method when a complete team is used. A full group consists of 2 legal representatives, two trains, an economist and also a kid specialist to be the voice of the children in the process.
There are separation coaches who have a lawful background, typically lawyers that have chosen that mentoring much better utilizes their abilities, and also will certainly companion with you with the lawful process. They could advise you on your option of legal representative and also ways to ask the appropriate inquiries and also get the very best service; they will certainly prepare you for court and choose you if you need them to. They could likewise aid you in making the appropriate options when you are making legal decisions. Some of these kinds of coaches are likewise trained in life skills and also will help you with dealing skills as well as prepare for your future.
The other kind of divorce coach you will come across is trained in life skills and will work with you as long as necessary to plan your divorce and your new life. Like the above coaches they will work to get you through the divorce itself and help you deal with all the problems of communication, emotional upheaval and others that may arise. Many of these coaches will prepare you for court and go with you if necessary. The difference being this coach can come into play at any time in the divorce process. These sorts of coaches may see people before they have left the marriage, during the separation and divorce process or after the legal settlement has been finalized. This type of coach specializes in divorce and helping clients discover what it is they want and how to plan to do that.
The choice of coach is entirely up to you and your needs.
When choosing a coach remember these points so you can find the right person;
1. Ask a lot of questions. Ask all the questions you need to understand how this particular coaching works and what you will benefit from it. Through your questions decide if you can work with this coach to get through your divorce.
2. Know why you are going. Before you make an appointment with a coach decide what it is you want to get out of the coaching. Discuss this with the coach to see if you will be able to work together.
3. Be ready to move ahead. Most coaches only want to work with motivated people and will not want to work with those that are not. Be very sure you are ready to move ahead and have a partner who will push you to do this.
When choosing a coach or coaching program please remember that you are paying a professional for their time and expertise. The cost of a coach is nowhere near as high as an attorney and so the benefit of being able to talk things through before getting the legal spin will often save money. Often decisions made at this time are terribly emotional and can turn out to be the wrong decision in the long term. Employing a coach to help with these situations can be a very wise decision.Divorce Rights | Family Law Attorney

Bonds rally post payroll
It appears that the bond market was either positioned for a stronger employment report or is relieved that the recovery did not get too hot. Perhaps it's the former as bond traders seem overly concerned on the timing of the first increase in short-term interest rates at the Fed. The recovery remains gradual, the labor market added more jobs over the winter than expected ahead of Friday's report, yet inflation continues to play dead and is absent from just about any scenario about which we've read.
Wage growth remains subdued. As a result Treasury prices nudged ahead following the report leading to a flattening of the curve. The yield on the 10-year benchmark shed 4 basis points to 2.75% and fell almost 7 basis points at the ultra-sensitive five-year horizon to 1.73%. Even the two-year yield eased by 3 basis points to 0.42% in the post-payroll relief rally.
Eurodollar futures traded in Chicago also recovered ground sending implied yields on three-month-cash down by around 8 basis points at maturities beyond December 2015. Those larger yield declines at farther maturities allowed the yield curve to flatten post data. The chart below plots the gradient of the curve between the end of this year and the end of next year using Eurodollar futures.
At the onset of tapering in December the curve was sloped positively by around 55 basis points before ramping up to 80 basis points. Having digested the FOMC's game plan and reacted to weaker economic data, the curve later settled back to a gradient of around 60 basis points. Ms. Yellen's disclosure at her first press conference that short rates might rise as soon as six-months following the end of tapering created the latest bout of curve steepening sending the spread skyrocketing towards 90 basis points. As the bond market improves in tone following the release of the latest employment report, there appears to be further amelioration in the market's nascent fear over the onset of actual monetary tightening. The Dec. 2014/Dec. 2015 Eurodollar curve is currently priced at 82 basis points.

Pornstar Name:
really?can you fuck me too? im 68 yrs old granny
i will
that's amazing
I will. But, I'm 57
I'm 27, and a woman who lives 3 houses down is a grandma at age 45. She's still a very nice looking woman, got rid of her asshole husband 5 years ago. I've done a few things around her house just to help out and that eventually worked to my advantage as I had to work shirtless outside a few times. She commented on my muscles one day, and since it was pretty warm, I was pretty sweaty. She ran her hands over my chest, turned bright red, and I asked what was wrong, and she said "oh my god, I'm horny" and we went into her house, got in the shower, and she washed me all over, and then I did the same for her. Her nipples were hard and standing out, I asked if she had ever fucked in a shower, and she said no, so she had her first experience that day. That was about 6 months ago, and we now fuck regularly. I'm safe for her because we are both very discreet. She has called me late at night and asked if I could come over. I'm usually there within 10 minutes. Don't knock the older women, cause they are very good, very interested in pleasing you and they enjoy it.
WHY 1 1/2 min jerking that lil cock when she would have been MUCH HAPPIER with that load INSIDE HER!!!!!!!!
you must have some real fucken issues if you wanna fuck a old lady and your 23
great sounds
really good
Sexy XD
hej yes i want fuck you
Hi im 56yr Old Granny, Want To Fuck Me?
my neighbor has always paid me to mow her lawn and such, one day she caught me jerking off in her basement, she said she would always keep it a secret if she could blow me, yumm i have done almost everything with her since and dont regret any of it..
this is one sexy lady
There are a lot of older women out there looking for someone who is safe for them to fuck. Most don't have a man any more, or if there is one around the house, he has a dead weapon.

PBS' Jim Lehrer took some heat for his moderating techniques during last week's 2012 Presidential Debate. Perhaps ABC News' Martha Raddatz will do better at keeping things on track during tonight's Vice Presidential Debate. With that debate set to take place tonight and the next Presidential debate set to take place next week, we got to thinking about some TV characters who might make good moderators.
Lehrer may have been a bit too polite to handle Mitt Romney's aggressive debating strategy last week. We'll have to wait and see how Raddatz does when Joe Biden and Paul Ryan face off tonight. In the meantime, here are some TV characters we think would dominate as moderators at a debate. Some are likely to be more affective than others, and some would just be there for the entertainment value.
Community - Garrett
Now that Greendale saved Garrett, yes that is 'Saved Garrett,' we should take advantage of his skills. The more than awkward student handled himself well as the moderator for the Model U.N. with his high-pitched squeals commanding the attention of all heads of state during the community college event. Ding! CRISIS ALERT!.

BANGKOK (AP) — Weak economic reports on hiring and service industry growth in the U.S. sent Asian stock markets lower Thursday.
The Institute for Supply Management said that its index of non-manufacturing activity grew at a slower rate in March, reaching its lowest level in seven months. The index, which covers companies that employ 90 percent of the workforce in the U.S., was driven down by slower hiring and a steep drop in new orders.
A separate report from payroll processor ADP also pointed to slightly weaker hiring in March.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index plunged 1.7 percent to 12,149.17, shedding much of the previous day's gains that were spurred by hopes for aggressive policy action from the Bank of Japan's policy meeting which ends Thursday. It's the central bank's first policy meeting under its new governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
"Unfortunately, the markets' expectations of the new governor are so high that they will be almost impossible to meet, let alone beat," said analysts at Capital Economics in an email commentary.
South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.6 percent to 1,950.47 as bellicose rhetoric between North Korea and the U.S. rattled the local market. Early Thursday, North Korea warned that its military has been cleared to attack the U.S. Washington said it was working to defuse the situation.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8 percent to 4,917.90. Hong Kong markets were closed for a public holiday.
U.S. stock markets fell sharply on Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 0.8 percent at 14,550.35. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 1.1 percent to 1,553.69. The Nasdaq composite dropped 1.1 percent to 3,218.60.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was down 8 cents to $94.37 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped $2.74, or 2.8 percent, to close at $94.45 a barrel on the Nymex on Wednesday.
In currencies, the euro fell slightly to $1.2842 from $1.2847 late Wednesday in New York. The dollar rose to 92.95 yen from 92.84 yen.

The news that Fire captain Logan Pause will be out of action for four-to-six weeks after breaking two ribs and suffering pneumothorax in Sunday's 3-1 win at Philadelphia wasn't welcome this week. In this edition of By The Numbers (at least the first part), I take a statistical look at the occurrence and a historic look back at the club's play without it's captain…
Taking the Lead: Logan Pause
15 – The number of minutes Logan Pause played with the above condition. The Fire captain left the field following the collision with former teammate Bakary Soumare in the 26th minute. He re-entered in the 29th and continued to play with two broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung until making way for Patrick Nyarko in the 44th.
I know who I want as my captain…
5 – The number of games the Fire have gone unbeaten in Logan Pause's absence as captain. To this point in the season, the 10-year Fire veteran has appeared in every regular season match but Pause did miss five games last year (his first as club captain). While the team was unbeaten all five games were draws.
48-44-20 – The Chicago Fire's all-time regular season record when the club's registered captain hasn't been available. Between the likes of Peter Nowak, Chris Armas, C.J. Brown, Brian McBride and Pause, it was likely Armas whose absence was felt the most.
The team went 12-17-5 when the U.S. international was absent as captain from 2003-2007, with the worst stretch coming with an 0-6-4 mark in his last two seasons with the Fire.
2 – Chris Rolfe's brace in Sunday's win over Philadelphia was the first for a Fire player since Jalil Anibaba's two-goal first half effort in a 3-2 win over Columbus on the final day of the season last year. That also means it's the first time a Fire player has found the back of the net twice this season.
40 – The two goals also moved Rolfe's career total to 40 in regular season play, keeping him firmly planted as number two on the club's all-time goal scoring list.
4 – The amount of save Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson needs to make in order to tie his career high single season save total of 72 set last year. The mark was attained in 28 matches, while Johnson sits on the precipice as he enters his 21st match of the season.
If he does, all fans in attendance will receive another gallon of milk from Aldi, something that's become quite a common occurrence at Toyota Park this season.

Generic Name: raloxifene (oral) (ra LOX i feen)
Brand Names: Evista
Medically reviewed on September 13, 2018
What is Evista?
Evista (raloxifene) affects the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body, and reduces loss of bone tissue.
Evista is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is also used to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women who have osteoporosis or who are otherwise at risk of invasive breast cancer.
Evista is not a cancer medication and will not treat breast cancer.
Important information
Taking Evista may increase your risk of a blood clot in your leg, your lung, or your eye. You should not take this medicine if you have ever had a blood clot.
Evista can also increase your risk of a stroke, which can be fatal. This risk is highest if you have coronary heart disease or certain risk factors (such as menopause, diabetes, smoking, being overweight, having high blood pressure or high cholesterol, having a family history of coronary artery disease, or if you have had a hysterectomy).
Do not take Evista if you are pregnant or may become pregnant.
Do not breast-feed while taking Evista.
Before taking this medicine
Taking Evista may increase your risk of a blood clot in your leg, your lung, or your eye. You should not take this medicine if you have ever had a blood clot.
You also should not use Evista if you are allergic to raloxifene, if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Evista can also increase your risk of a stroke, which can be fatal. This risk is highest if you have coronary heart disease or certain risk factors (such as menopause, diabetes, smoking, being overweight, having high blood pressure or high cholesterol, having a family history of coronary artery disease, or if you have had a hysterectomy).
To make sure Evista is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis);
heart disease, high blood pressure;
a history of stroke (including "mini-stroke");
liver or kidney disease;
high triglycerides (usually occurs with high cholesterol);
if you have not gone through menopause;
if you have had breast cancer in the past; or
if you take a blood thinner (warfarin, Coumadin), cholesterol medication, or estrogen hormone replacement therapy.
Although it is not likely that a postmenopausal woman would be pregnant, Evista can cause birth defects. Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Use effective birth control if you are not past menopause, and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether raloxifene passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
Evista is not for use in men.
How should I take Evista?
Take Evista exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Evista can be taken with or without food. You may take your dose at any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day.
If your Evista tablets are packaged on blister cards, take the medication as follows:
Each blister card contains 15 tablets labeled with a different day of the week. The first tablet you use should be labeled with the day of the week your doctor has instructed you to start taking Evista.
If you have refilled your prescription and are starting a new blister pack, take the tablet that is labeled one day after you took your last dose.
Keep taking the medication one tablet per day, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Try to take the medication at the same time each day.
The tablet in the center of the blister card should be the last tablet you take before starting a new card.
If you need to have any type of surgery or will be on bed rest, you will need to stop taking Evista for at least 72 hours before your surgery or before you plan to be immobile. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are taking this medicine.
Evista is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet, exercise, calcium or vitamin D supplements, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
See also: Dosage Information (in more detail)
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid?
If you take calcium supplements, do not take more than your doctor has prescribed. Taking more calcium than recommended will not provide extra protection for your bones, and may cause serious side effects including kidney stones.
Avoid sitting still for long periods of time during travel while you are taking Evista.
This medicine can pass into body fluids (urine, feces, vomit). Caregivers should wear rubber gloves while cleaning up a patient's body fluids, handling contaminated trash or laundry or changing diapers. Wash hands before and after removing gloves. Wash soiled clothing and linens separately from other laundry.
Evista side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction to Evista: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using Evista and call your doctor at once if you have:
lumps or other changes in the breast;
signs of a stroke - sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body), sudden severe headache, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
signs of a blood clot in the lung - chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up blood; or
signs of a blood clot in your leg - pain, swelling, warmth, or redness in one or both legs.
Common Evista side effects may include:
hot flashes;
leg cramps;
swelling in your hands, feet, or ankles;
joint pain;
flu symptoms; or
increased sweating.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
See also: Side effects (in more detail)
What other drugs will affect Evista?
Other drugs may interact with raloxifene, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.
Further information
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use Evista only for the indication prescribed.
Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the information displayed on this page applies to your personal circumstances.

Bison Illegally Shot in Yellowstone
Yellowstone National Park is asking for the public's help in identifying who was responsible for illegally shooting and killing three bison inside the park last week.Park rangers determined the bison were likely shot between the evening of March 13 and morning of March 15 alongside the road in the Blacktail Plateau area of northern Yellowstone.

Where should we stay?
The best way to answer this is to decide how much time you have and what you want to see the most. As an example, if you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. From there, it is a short drive to the geyser basins, Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance and a short trip to the Lamar valley. The South Entrance is a great option if you have more time and want to visit Grand Teton National Park however it is a longer drive to the heart of Yellowstone if you base out of Jackson. The North Entrance is park headquarters and has the most historic information on the park.
When is the best time to visit the park?
This depends on what your interests are. Here's a summary; Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. It can snow or be in the 70's. Summer has it all including the most crowds. If you and your family plan on a summer trip, here's our best advise. Get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. For wildlife there is a sense of urgency in the air. Everything seems to be diminishing including the crowds. Winter is a time of solitude. In years past it was more "economical" to visit most of the park. Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snowcoach or guided snowmobile tour. The North Entrance is the busiest due to the ease of access and plowed road.
With 5 entrances and over 2 million acres, we highly suggest you plan your trip in advance. We recommend you obtain some of the many travel planners or DVD's that are available for Yellowstone. If you're more detailed oriented then obtain a travel planner. If you want to know as much information as possible in under 90 minutes then purchase a Yellowstone DVD.

PhD programme, 3 years
– Course curriculum
Educational component
Courses should be selected in relation to the thesis. Subjects for which the exam was taken more than 5 years before admission can not normally be included in the mandatory 30 SP. The same applies to courses where exams were included for a different degree. The IME faculty may approve up to one (1) course at the PhD level to be included as a part of the educational component of the PhD programme, where the examination was completed before the completion of a master's degree.
