What should a Private Process Server Service in Georgia mean to you? Though you most likely know what a Process Server is and does, as you probably hired Process Servers in Georgia previously and are now seeking the services of another or different process server in Fulton County or elsewhere. As you have experienced, or perhaps not, Process Servers located in Georgia are not the same. Georgia Process Servers offer different fees, personalize special timed services, act differently and many have different and unpredictable ways of handling your important documents. Do not hire any Process Ser...

BREAKING NEWS: New Client Acquistions Services If you are seeking new clients in Georgia, Georgia you are only a click away from learning how to attract new clients.

Though the services are significantly different, as are the professionals who provide them, there is no difference in the way both service providers have the need to attract new clients. If you are...

Beware of scams! When serving court documents, a process server in Georgia will never ask for money. That is not their job. Their job is only to personally deliver legal papers to defendants. That's it. If someone is approached by a "process server" who asks for legal fees or claims that they can make the case "go away" if given payment, then this process server is not a process server at all but a scammer. Rest assured that A.C.E. Inc. only employs licensed and verified process servers in Georgia to take on and complete the job....

Sometimes a subject in Georgia may be all too aware that they are soon to be served. Rather than just accepting the court documents with their head held high, these subjects might decide to evade the service of process. In cases like these, it becomes necessary to employ a classic tactic familiar to Private Investigators and Process Servers alike: The Stakeout. During the stake out, the Process Server will wait outside a location where the subject is known to appear, such as their residence or place of work. The Server may have to patiently sit in their car for hours, carefully watching ...

Streetcolor Yarnbombing Resume
June 2010 Began yarnbombing as Streetcolor with " The Russian " in Berkeley Ca . Took the name Streetcolor to be able to work anonymously as part of the street art tradition and as a reaction against the focus on personality in art .
2010 to 2012 Streetart Installations
100 Yarnbombing Installations at public libraries , movie theaters , bookstores , galleries , gardens , restaurants , bakeries ,universities and Bart Trains . These installations where made as a map of my routine path through my city and as an effort to shift the sensation of a city street .
Yarnbombing Museums
We yarnbombed the outside of several museums as an intervention to how art is shown . These included The SF MOMA , The Crocker Museum , The Cantor Art Museum , The San Jose Art Museum , The Santa Cruz Museum of Art And History , The Musee De' Orsay in Paris . more here .
Yarnbombing Installations Location
Berkeley , Oakland , Palo Alto , San Francisco , Sacramento and Santa Cruz , Ca , Asheville and Charlotte N . C . and Paris , France . I traveled and yarnbombed to have a more intense and physical experience of the places I was visiting and to interact with people and police on the street .

After many struggles, dead fish, dead plants, bug attacks, fish food issues and water heater issues, at last, all our hard work (I should say my HUSBAND'S hard work), has finally paid off. The system has been up and running for nine months and this is the kind of growth we see:
This picture was taken April 9th of this year, just after we planted the summer garden.
|And THIS was taken last weekend, May 5th - olne month's growth. All I can say is WOW! Obviously all biological systems are operating on full steam ahead. I'm particularly impressed by the snow peas (we are harvesting every day). I've also never seen strawberry leaves so big (although the birds seem to be getting most of those). Our cucmbers are already blooming, the beans are blooming and the watermelons just started growing well this past week when we finally got some sunshine and warmth.
I'm so excited, remember, this system has no chemicals, no soil and minimal input from the gardener. We feed the fish several times a day. The pump circulates the water up to the grow beds. The grow beds fill with water, then the siphon forms in the bell siphon and the whole bed flushes out, drawing oxygen down to the plant roots as it travels back to the fish tank by gravity. We also added red worms to the system in September along with a stock tank water heater (when we found out bream don't live in temps below 41 degrees). Some of the fish are already large enough to eat. but others are still small. Soon we will have fish for dinner!

Trails Update – date posted Dec 5, 2013
Another winter storm is predicted for this weekend (Dec 7-8) and we expect some more snow, so trail conditions will likely change.
Conditions below as of Thursday, December 5, 2013.
Grandview Trail: Two inches or less of snow is on the ground at the trailhead. Ice and snow are on the trail down to the Coconino Saddle. Very icy and slick conditions, strongly recommend using over-the-shoe traction devices.
Tanner and New Hance Trails: Snow and ice for at least the first mile, over-the-shoe traction devices are strongly recommended.
South Kaibab Trail: About a half inch of snow is on the ground. Snow and ice on the trail until just above Ooh Aah Point. Over-the-shoe traction devices are recommended.
Bright Angel Trail: Dusting of snow at the trailhead. There is a compact layer of snow and ice for the first mile. Over-the-shoe traction devices are recommended.
North Kaibab Trail: A small section of the North Kaibab Trail below Supai Tunnel was damaged in September 2013 due to heavy rain. The North Kaibab Trail is currently open to hikers but not to stock below Supai Tunnel. Hikers should use caution. The damaged section is very narrow, but passable. The trail crew has installed a handline to assist hikers when crossing the narrow section. The handline stretches across the length of the washout, and then some (about 15 to 16 feet). The damaged section will not be repaired until spring 2014.
Hikers without a permit can stop by the Backcountry Information Center to request a last minute permit. Last minute permits and waitlist numbers are issued by the Backcountry Information Center, located inside the park. The South Rim Backcountry Information Center is open daily, year round, for walk-in visitors from 8 am to noon and 1-5 pm Mountain Standard Time. The North Rim Backcountry Information Center is open daily from mid-May to October 31 for walk-in visitors from 8 am to noon and 1-5 pm Mountain Standard Time.
When hiking in winter be sure to visit the Winter Hiking webpage for winter hiking information.

So many of you have been following the story of LOKI. The Sole surviving pup, one of 23 seized in a 2010 hoarding case in Canada's Arctic.
Many of you are also followers of Loki on his Face Book page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friends-of-LOKI-Sole-Survivor/188340937903082
During the years that I spent with LOKI, on his terms, in his domain, you can only imagine the fear and anxiety I felt each day that I would venture out looking for him. The question always in the back of my mind (would this be the day that I could not find him, or that he would not come to me when I used our signal)? There were those days that my heart was in my throat, because I could not find him, because he did not come. The search would then be on and I would keep going out at all hours of that day to find him. There were times that he would totally disappear for days, and at those times my fears flourished in nightmarish visions of him suffering, laying perhaps in a leg trap, perhaps dying a slow death from poison or from a fatal gunshot.
The mind has a wonderful way of conjuring such images, removing sleep from ones agenda and instilling sheer panic…motivating one to go to extremes in their search attempts.
Three years, each and every day, no matter what time of day, no matter what weather conditions, that is the life I lead. Now that life has taken a term for the better and LOKI is home, safe, loved and protected with my family. Gone for me now, is the daily anxiety and fear as well as the horrible anger I carried for so long. Replaced with a calm and renewed commitment to ensure that LOKI remains healthy, happy and strong in his new life.
Despite him now living with my family, his new pack, diligence is on the agenda each and every day to ensure his safety. Multiple leashes are used when we go for our daily walks, a necessity to ensure that he remains connected to my person. No risks can ever be taken for him to break away as catching him again would be a monumental task if not impossible…and it could mean his death.
Some individuals have questioned as to why he has not been placed within a sanctuary…..to those who have asked…research was done by myself and my closest followers on just that. Did you know that there are approximately 250,000 + WD in sanctuaries across North America. That most of these sanctuaries are full. It is a sad commentary that they are, that they continue to have to rescue and save these beautiful creatures.
LOKI and I, through our three years of contact, on his terms, in his domain shared something very special…Patience….with each other. Through this Patience was born Trust, Respect and Understanding. Never, ever did I force him to do anything, all was by his own Choice and his Choice alone. From the very first time that he allowed me to approach him when he was a youngster, to his eventual responding to our secret signal, to his showing me the whereabouts of his secret hiding places, secret stashes of the many toys and blankets I would bring to him, even to taking me to and allowing me to enter into his winter dens…..all has been by his Choice.
It takes a great deal of time to win the Trust, Respect and Understanding of an animal, more so from one that had never known the kindness of a gentle touch. It takes a great deal of Patience and an unwavering Commitment from both parties to develop that form of relationship. LOKI took the time, offered his Patience and his Acceptance to me. The Bond that developed over those three years grew stronger each and every day, and it is that Bond born of Love that has allowed him to Transition as gracefully as he has to his new life.
From the moment that LOKI decided to and took that first step into my home, his life changed as did my own and that of my family. Admittedly it was difficult for him at first, new sights, new smells, new dogs and cats to get acquainted with and of course another human, my mother. His nervousness was evident and understandable, his Patience was again required. He did not fail in this. He tolerated ear scratches, nose rubs and gentle touching….now he looks for it and quite enjoys the attention….often coming silently up behind us and poking us with his nose to say 'I am here'. He sleeps in front of the fire, on soft pet beds, after long evening walks on cold nights, he lounges where it is warm and safe and sleeps beside my Hemi on beds in my own bedroom. He no longer wonders where and when his next warm meal will come from, nor where he can find shelter from winter storms, freezing rain and powerful winds. I will never again find him huddled in a tiny ball, soaked to the skin and looking terribly cold and forlorn, pitiful in fact.
A Promise which I made to him over three years ago has been kept, and now through the Patience, Trust, Respect, Understanding, Bond and the Love we share, LOKI will live out his days without fear, without harassment, without the dangers that faced him each and every day of his life in his first years.
He is one of the lucky ones, and it breaks my hear to know that there remain so many others out there that are not so lucky…so despite the diminished anger, I still do get angry when I become aware of those that could not be helped in time.
We must all do our part to end the relentless suffering, both at home and around the world.
These following pictures are the before and after in the life of LOKI and speak of our three year journey together from the beginning.

Obama pardons Omaha resident for drug conviction
President Barack Obama has pardoned an Omaha resident who was sentenced to probation and home confinement for a drug conviction in 1996.
The White House said Thursday that Chris Deann Switzer was one of 21 people who received clemency.
Switzer was sentenced to four years of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service after being convicted of conspiracy to violate narcotics laws. Switzer also was required to undergo drug and alcohol treatment.
Obama pardoned 13 people for various crimes. He commuted the sentences of eight people he said were serving unduly harsh sentences for drug crimes.
The prisoners with commuted sentences were sentenced under a system that treated convictions for crack cocaine offenses harsher than powder cocaine.

This typeface, designed by Max Miedinger and other project members at the Haas'sche Schriftgiesserei, has become one of the most famous and popular typefaces in the world, thanks to the marketing strategy of Stempel and Linotype. It forms an integral part of many printers and operating systems. The original letterforms of Helvetica had to be modified for the Linotype system. Over the years, Helvetica was expanded to include many different weights, but these were not coordinated with each other.
In 1983, D. Stempel AG redesigned and digitized the "Neue Helvetica" typeface for Linotype and made it a self-contained font family. Today, this family consists of 51 different font weights.

A tubal ligation — also known as having your tubes tied or tubal sterilization — is a type of permanent birth control. During a tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy.
A tubal ligation disrupts the movement of the egg to the uterus for fertilization and blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian tubes to the egg. A tubal ligation doesn't affect your menstrual cycle.
A tubal ligation can be done at any time, including after childbirth or in combination with another abdominal surgical procedure, such as a C-section. It's possible to reverse a tubal ligation — but reversal requires major surgery and isn't always effective.

Cobb School Board member: Ban absentee parents from graduation | Education
Title (Max 100 Characters)
COBB COUNTY, GA - The fact that many parents are not actively involved in their child's education is a constant frustration, especially for teachers.
Several studies show that involved parents, no matter what their economic level, mean better students with higher grades, who are more likely to graduate.
School board member David Morgan believes too many parents in his part of Cobb County are absentees.
"In my particular area, I think we need to put more accountability in place for parents to get the type of involvement we want, because doing it the way we're currently doing it is not working," Morgan told 11Alive News on Thursday.
He's come up with an idea to penalize parents who don't attend parent-teacher conferences and similar school activities.
He wants to deny them a ticket to their child's graduation.
"I think graduation, a ceremony itself, is extracurricular and I think it should be tied to parent engagement," Morgan said.
"Anything to get parents involved, but I don't want to declare war on parents by making them have to, you know, check a check list of things they have to do because our lives just aren't like that anymore," said Connie Jackson, President of the Cobb County Association of Educators.
While her group represents many frustrated teachers, she believes Morgan's idea is too extreme and would punish the children of those parents.
"Unfortunately in our day and age there're a lot of parents who can't be involved just because they're working two jobs or whatever reason and I think penalizing the children is always a negative," Jackson added.
Several Cobb School Board members were lukewarm to Morgan's graduation ban idea at a Wednesday work session.
Some wondered if it was even legal and who would measure a parent's involvement.
Morgan said it's just an idea, but it has certainly generated a lot of talk in Cobb County schools.

Post subject: Section II - Essay Examples
Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I've got a selection of essays for your enjoyment here. Your feedback would be appreciated as they come from the depths of my own mind.
First up, an essay on humour. Do excuse my British spelling.
Woman : Seeking man with GSOH
Mizner reasoned I can usually judge a fellow by what he laughs at. This idea that a persons sense of humour is a good measure of them is borne out by the personals section. A cursory glance will have one acronym leap out at you. What is this GSOH that all women want in a man?
To a visiting alien with a superficial understanding of humans they might assume it has something to do with height, power or wealth. Good Size Of House, perhaps? Would they struggle to comprehend why a Good Sense Of Humour is so sought after? Lets try to explain this mystery.
A sense of humour is based on many aspects of a persons character, their intellect, humanity, humility and self-awareness. Thus it is no suprise that it is a highly valued trait, aside from the pleasure of being in the company of someone who makes you laugh.
Grellet poignently said I expect to pass through this world but once. This feeling of a fleeting life is a call to action. This fleeting feeling can crush the spirit, and shows a mans spirit to be powerful if he can laugh in spite of it.
This is why laughter is a powerful force. It shows an indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. It shows a character that reflects on the struggles of man and comes out with strength.
The strongest laugh thus, is to laugh at oneself. To have self-awareness enough to see your personal fragility and still be able to laugh shows the strength Mark Twain had in mind when he said against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.
It should really come as no surprise why GSOH is a requirement on personal adverts the world over.
Well, I hope you have some insight into what's good and bad about it and don't be shy to take it to pieces.

My day started in the Press Office where I was given tickets to see Matt Tebbutt in the Summer Kitchen and other treats. I was then asked if I would be willing to take part in the MasterChef Experience Invention Test.
Before I knew it I was being whisked away to the MasterChef Theatre, given an apron, briefed, shown to my workstation, and then the opportunity to familiarise myself with the fresh and dry ingredients provided. Also, a quick tuition of the Miele state of the art kitchen appliances I would be using. The name of the game is to produce something innovative in just 30 minutes. Phew! No, I didn't win or even come third, I thought I would give all of the other contestants a chance!!! I did have lots of fun, even though I couldn't produce anything that resembled even the merest hint of a Michelin star.
My husband bagged himself a front row seat and did his best to take photographs for ourselves and also another contestant, who unfortunately was at the opposite side of the stage to me.
In my session John Torode and Gregg Wallace were keeping a watchful eye over us with the help of Mat Follas and James Nathan, who are two previous MasterChef winners. Andi Peters was the compere and offered us an arm of support. We were all allocated a sous chef from Birmingham Food College and I was very fortunate to have such a helpful and charming right hand man.
After this we returned to the Press Office, sat on a comfy sofa and re-energised ourselves with coffee before our tour of the Good Food Show.
Chocolate Fondue.
I would love one of these!
I had a scoop of the cherry ice cream.
The Liquorice Stall.

Thank you to Emma, Haymarket Exhibitions and the BBC Summer Good Food Show for a really great day out!

Broken Bones
Sunday, April 1, 2012
If, on the other hand, you have a broken mind and are howling and mumbling in mental anguish, you may not take the simple route to your local A& E Department. Instead you must travel a far more circuitous route. Especially at weekends.
You must wait a while, okay a very long time, while the medics follow the various protocols in place.
Patient, carers and family get to sit back and watch that protocol ball ping around the numerous pin ball machines of the various branches of our health system. Meanwhile the patient continues to linger in mental anguish.
Eventually that protocol ball comes full circle. A day or two has elapsed, the patient is still howling or mumbling in mental anguish and medically things may have changed.
Now, and only now, do you get to go howling in pain to the A& E Department of your nearest hospital. When you arrive there you may have to queue for a bit, well maybe a while. Okay, maybe a very long time. You will be seen, you may or may not receive pain relief and your broken mind may have to wait a long time before it can be mended.
You may have to spend some time in the acute hospital, being treated for a medical condition which has psychiatric undertones.
You may even have to repeat the steps above a few times before you finally get to attend the correct health facility.
Or to get them to finally visit you.
Whatever their protocol dictates.
Then, and only then, may you receive appropriate pain medication and your broken mind may finally begin to heal.
I'll take broken bones.
Any day of the week.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I spent a day and extremely traumatic night trying to get a close friend treated for a major breakdown this week. Eventually, sadly, had to get Gardai to have him sectioned as Hospital Docs would/could do very little as his rights were paramount over his need for urgent help. Despite him wrecking his home, injuring himself etc etc nothing was done until he smashed a window at the hospital at 5am on Thursday. Heartbreaking!ReplyDelete
@Lenny Lovett: And I know EXACTLY what you mean too. Have traveled this road MANY times and am sick of it. So not right to leave people suffering in mental anguish.ReplyDelete
The other problem is dehydration from their refusal to eat or drink. For that the patient has to go to AN ACUTE hospital to be re-hydrated simply because psychiatric nurses can't/not allowed to do drips. I will never understand that.
I do however understand the need to rule out a medical/organic cause. But they have to attend an acute hospital for that, be sent home and THEN transferred to a psychiatric hospital or outreach clinic for further treatment! They CANNOT be transferred directly from acute to psychiatric hospital...at least a nursing home patient can't.
Co-location would seriously help.
My heart goes out to your friend....you were a very good friend to him.

So difficult isn't it? Sounds like you are having a tough time at the moment Jazzy, hope you're OK... xxxReplyDelete
Oh no, Jazzy, a horrible horrible experience for everyone involved, and so unnecessary, I just hope that the patient is getting the right help in the right place now xxxReplyDelete
@BavarianSojourn: Yes, it is very difficult and very upsetting. But I'm doing okay thanks, have to keep strong. Have a 12 yo on a 2 week school holiday to keep occupied!ReplyDelete
@Blue Sky: It is terribly unnecessary. protocols, like rules are meant to be broken or at the very least bended to suit the individual patient needs. At the moment we still await a psych review. Almost 48 hours after initial referral....almost 24 hours longer than their protocol dictates. Simply because they made us take the circuitous route to an acute hospital.
Thank you for your comments and good wishes:-)

What can I say! The system sucks!ReplyDelete
You could have entitled this post "Broken System"
It just makes no sense what so ever.
Jazzy, so tough, so sad. What is the world coming to? What is public health care coming to? What a stuff up. :(ReplyDelete
@NanP: Thanks P. Yes, I could have called it that but I really wanted to highlight the differences between dealing with broken bones and broken minds in our health system. It's shocking. No medic would ever leave a patient with broken bones in pain for 2 or 3 days yet that's precisely what they've done with this case of a broken mind....ReplyDelete
@Di: Total stuff up! This patient continually falls between the cracks and the protocols seem to change depending on the doctor on call you get to speak to!
Thanks for your comments :-)

We were actually very lucky when our son had a breakdown. We took him to the GP who was so worried that she sent him to A&E....they referred him right away to the child mental health department...and thankfully we 'picked' the right day as the consultant was there on his one day a week so we were seen.ReplyDelete
It was a long drawn out progress and I dread to think what would have happened if we got the wrong day.
@magnumlady: I am so glad to hear that you got the help you needed for your son. So worrying. And yes, you did get lucky. It shouldn't be down to luck though should it? It's the same here when my mam gets unwell and has been for years. Your basically told to hold on to your mental breakdown til the clinic's net weekly appointment! Pardon the pun but that's mad!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment :-)
xx Jazzy
Well done and well said Jazzy. Yup-broken bones any day. It just isn't right the way that people and their needs are weighed and measured in this world..What is viewed as an emergency and what isn't...I am so terribly sorry if this post was based on a recent experience.... It seems at times that the world has its priorities skewed...ReplyDelete
What an awful situation; hope the patient is OK. I empathise with it all; my experience with the mental healh services has not been good and the delays have contributed to worsening symptoms for some people I know.ReplyDelete
@Kathleen: Thanks. This is my discreet rant over a very recent and still ongoing situation ;-)ReplyDelete
@Deb at aspie in the family: The patient is much calmer this evening, thank you. The delays do not help at all. It seems, in this country, that even when you have a guarantee of a consult in 24 hours you must still go to an Acute hospital to be medically assessed. Then you must sent back to whence you came from to request another consult within 24 hours.Making it 48 very difficult hours at least.IF psychiatric hospitals weren't situated miles away from acute hospitals, or if they had a medical team attached, then this whole debacle could be avoided.
Thanks so much for your comments :-)

I hope you get the help you need xReplyDelete
Wow that sounds a real nightmare! It really is about time the so called system woke up and smelt the coffee!! Mental illness is just as debilitating as physical illness- as a sufferer of M.E ( an invisible illness too) if people cannot see it they do not think it is there.Equal treatment for everyone I say!! I'm so glad they are now getting the help that they need xReplyDelete
@magnumlady.com: Thanks, We eventually did get the help we needed and all is well. Until next time.ReplyDelete
@mum in meltdown: Thanks. It is difficult with 'unusual' conditions isn't it?
Thanks for your comments :-)

You'll see Colonial Players at its best in the cat-and-mouse game of two women
What could be more suitable for Mothers Day than the tale of two mothers sharing tea and sympathy over Blue Willow china: helping each other deal with life's unexpected twists and turns, bartering favors tit for tat — life for death? Over the past three years, Annapolis stages have featured four plays by the prolific Pulitzer- and Tony-nominated playwright Lee Blessing: Chesapeake, Two Rooms, Fortinbras and now Going to St. Ives, showing through May 19 at Colonial Players. His work, always thick with political and personal tensions, ranges from breath taking to sidesplitting. This time, the laughs are mere pressure-release valves for high drama.
Outwardly, May N'Kame (Lolita-Marie), the mother of an African dictator, and Dr. Cora Gage (Heather Quinn), an ophthalmic surgeon in St. Ives, England, appear to have nothing in common beyond a doctor/patient relationship. Yet their shared guilt and grief for their sons, one living and one dead, unite them long past tea time and across the globe.
Without divulging too much of the plot of this morality tale, I'll say that both women want something big from the other, consequences be damned. Cora wants May to use her influence in affecting the release of four physicians who are held as political prisoners by May's son, the "monster."
May wants something much bigger and whispered. Throughout Act I, she draws Cora into a game of cat and mouse, forcing Cora to reveal the pain of her child's untimely death, for which Cora blames herself. May likens Cora's sorrow to her own disappointment in a sweet son turned murderous despot. The consequences of their collaboration unfold in a rather predictable fashion during Act II, set in Africa six months later.
Lolita-Marie is magnificent in the role of May: so imperious, sophisticated and savvy that I was transported by her performance, the most convincing I have ever encountered in amateur theater. Regal in tribal dresses of silk brocades and cotton prints, she speaks African-tinged British English suitable for tea with the queen. She commands, cajoles and enunciates a fine line between certitude and threat even as she yearns for her dusty, dangerous homeland and the safety of her mother's womb.
As Cora, Heather Quinn has the harder role by far, as she may not outshine royalty. She comes across as the consummate professional, understated in speech and manner, conservative and drab in her muted mauve woolens. Some of her lines are lost to a too-muted tone, yet she sparks with an odd mix of humanity and condescension when faced with the hard facts of May's life in a gilded cage. "How many countries are there in Africa?" she commands with predictable English superiority, "and they're all unpronounceable, unimprovable and soaked in their own blood."
Blessing holds an uncomfortable mirror of superiority up to his audience. This production resonates with truth in words, action and fine attention to detail. "Lying badly is punishable by death" where May is from, so trust me when I say this production is one of Colonial's finest. The run is short, so make reservations before the teapot is drained.
Director and set designer: Edd Miller. Costumes: Beth Terranova. Lights: Harvey Hack. Sound: Wes Bedsworth. Stage manager: Herb Elkin.
Playing thru May 19 at 8pm ThFSa; 2pm Su; 7:30pm May 13 at Colonial Players, 108 East St., Annapolis. $20 w/discounts: 410-268-7373; [email protected]
I just have to add kudos to Lois Banscher for her work on the props for this show - especially amassing the needed blue willow teacups... ;)

Computer Forensics Leads to Indictment in Lombard Child Pornography Case

Should we vote to close and/or flag questions that we know are a request to help do something that is forbidden by the Terms of Service of a third party?
The example that I see pop up the most is about how to get YouTube Videos to play outside of YouTube itself, and not through the officially provided APIs.
Here is one from this morning that has since been deleted. I know I've seen others that are similar though.
This question would seem to me to violate the following terms in the YouTube ToS (note that I am not a lawyer, nor do I have any desire to be):
You agree not to distribute in any medium any part of the Service or the Content without YouTube's prior written authorization, unless YouTube makes available the means for such distribution through functionality offered by the Service (such as the Embeddable Player).
You agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Service itself, the Embeddable Player, or other explicitly authorized means YouTube may designate.
I know my example question has already been deleted by its asker, but it would be nice to know what is the correct action if any to take when things like this are asked.

Jillibean Soup can always be relied on for some solid new introductions at any CHA show, and CHA Summer 2012 in Chicago was no exception.
The company introduced four new lines of paper at the show – let's start with their great new addition to their line of Soup Staples!
Hello, chevrons! These trendy chevrons in beautiful bright colors that coordinate with the rest of Jillibean's lines are sure to be popular with both scrapbookers and cardmakers. The dots on the reverse make them incredibly versatile for a variety of projects.
For fall, Jillibean is offering up nice warm Country Pumpkin Chowder. While mostly a very traditional stew, there's a few surprising notes mixed in like the calendar print and the patchwork of numbers:
For the holidays, there's Winter Tortellini and Spinach Soup in traditional bright red and green, with touches of pink and turquoise thrown in:
The collection will certainly be popular for holiday cards, especially mixed with existing elements from Jillibean's collection such as baker's twine and alphabets:
The last of the four collections is Grandma's Lima Bean Soup, a vintage-inspired collection for everyday use:
Jillibean Soup owner Jill Yegerlehner's vision for Grandma's Lima Bean Soup was implemented by graphic designer Laina Lamb using actual design elements taken from her grandmother's home, such as paper ephemera, buttons, and lace.
Jillibean is known for its combination of kraft and brighter colors, but the lighter elements of Grandma's Lima Bean Soup can create beautiful vintage loveliness for cards and layouts.
There's also new embellishments coming at Jillibean Soup!
First up, there's new Alphabean colors: Diced Denim, Organic Orange, Kut Kraft, Blended Black, and Whipped White.
The new 4″ x 8″ sheets of Hexagon stickers are sure to be popular with card makers and Project Life fans:
The new Banner Bites stickers can be folded in half around a pin or toothpick to make a flag:
There's eight new designs for Jillibean's eternally popular Soup Label stickers line – and five of them are especially for card makers!
Put all those goodies together with some Country Pumpkin Chowder, and you've got some great cards like this one from the Jillibean booth:

Higher Ed Commission Approves Funds to Boost High-Tech University Research
The Commission
on Higher Education today awarded $6.5 million to six New Jersey universities
to boost their capacity for biomedical and other high-tech research
and help the state become a leader in the advancement of knowledge and
a hub for high-technology industry.
A summary
of each institution's proposal to build research capacity is attached.
NJIT is expanding its academic and research programs in biomedical
engineering in response to New Jersey's rapidly growing medical device
industry. The university will use its capacity-building funds to purchase
state-of-the-art equipment for six biomedical research laboratories
that will foster linkages with other research programs and help to make
New Jersey and University Heights a hot-bed of biomedical engineering
activity. The funds will contribute to the creation of a national center
of excellence that will attract outstanding faculty and students, nurture
new start-up companies, and attract increased federal and corporate
research funding.
Princeton intends to develop the technical infrastructure needed to perform basic research in the new science of genomics, particularly in the area of proteomics, which focuses on the study of cellular proteins that are important for normal cell function and a key element in the development of many diseases. The university will use its funds to upgrade a fluorescence-activated cell-sorter, add a new mass spectrometer, hire skilled technicians to run the instruments, and establish a training program for graduate students. Building technical ability in proteomics will enable Princeton scientists to compete for research funds for which they have not previously had the technical capabilities needed to qualify. Enhancing Princeton's teaching and research in this vibrant new field will help to make New Jersey a leader in genomic and proteomic research.
will use its funds for seven multidisciplinary projects targeting biomedical
and high technology research critical to key New Jersey industries.
Research areas include animal biotechnology, which has applications
for medical research and endangered species; bioinformatics, which contributes
directly to drug design; physics-based simulation technology for medical
imaging and other biomedical uses; life sciences research in biomaterials
used in implants and medical devices, human genetics, and neuroscience;
molecular and cellular pharmaceutical research related to absorption
of drugs for combating disease; cellular and molecular biodynamics,
which has implications for the study of aging in tissues and new drug
design for repairing injuries; and hybrid materials, which has applications
for information technology. Rutgers will use its capacity-building funds
to acquire and build advanced instrumentation, upgrade lab facilities,
and recruit outstanding new faculty members with proven success in attracting
external funding. The projects will prepare students to meet the workforce
needs of key industries, strengthen interactions with industry, create
new commercial ventures, and enhance Rutgers' ability to attract external
Hall is building capacity in biomedical research with the potential
to impact the pharmaceutical industry, and in material sciences, which
can lead to the development of novel, high-tech micro and nanomaterials.
Advancing research in these areas requires state-of-the-art facilities,
and the university will use its funds to purchase eight pieces of scientific
equipment. The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has a strong
reputation of providing well-trained scientists to New Jersey's pharmaceutical,
chemical, and high-technology industries. The availability of these
instruments will improve the department's competitiveness for federal
funding and its ability to attract excellent faculty and students.
Stevens plans to strengthen its physical and intellectual infrastructure
in areas centered on the design, synthesis, and processing of multifunctional
polymers. Such research is expected to lead to the development of new
materials and methods for biomedical applications. The funds will be
used to purchase a state-of-the art liquid chromatography system and
support two post-doctoral research scientists, building upon Stevens'
ongoing investments in faculty, instrumentation, and laboratories. Stevens'
focus on polymeric structure for advanced biomaterials and medical devices
will provide a cadre of students to meet workforce needs and will build
the intellectual property needed to help maintain New Jersey's competitiveness
in biomedical technologies.
UMDNJ plans to enhance dramatically neurosciences research and clinical practices in areas that may lead to improved diagnostic and treatment procedures for cognitive disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS. The university will devote its funds, along with an institutional match, to the purchase of a state-of-the-art high field MRI scanner that will enable new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these diseases. Establishing UMDNJ as a leading neuroimaging facility with the most advanced equipment available will enable the university to recruit well-funded neuroscience faculty members, enhance its national prominence, and further develop its ability to attract federal and corporate research grants.

The future of janitorial bidding software promises to be exciting as it moves from being slow, difficult-to-use, limited, and providing general estimates to one that is increasingly fast, easy-to-use, unlimited and accurate.
How did we get here?
Well, as in many things, the changes in janitorial bidding and estimating software have come in waves.
Starting with rules of thumb
For many years, and still today, a variety of industry bidding and estimating "rules of thumb," such as standard office cleaning production rates or price per-square-foot guidelines, have been used to create a number of basic spreadsheet applications and simple bidding calculators.
Production rate estimates for standard office cleaning tasks are built into these calculators allowing facility managers to estimate labor hours needed to clean specific areas, while price per-square-foot guidelines are used to help building service contractors (BSCs) determine how much to charge for monthly cleaning services.
These spreadsheets and calculators are generally easy to find and are provided for a modest charge, if not for free.
They can be helpful to new users who may not yet have a method to bid or estimate jobs as well as to those who may be simply guesstimating to establish cleaning times or prices based on experience.
However, these bidding and estimating spreadsheets and calculators can become limiting since they may only address the most general building information, such as overall building size and cleaning frequency.
In addition, they do not generally address the wide range of cleaning tasks a user may want to include, such as high-speed burnishing or auto-scrubbing of floors.
To estimate times or prices for these "other" cleaning tasks, the user would need to find, if available, separate calculators to address those tasks.
Technology leads the way
The next wave of change in janitorial bidding brought a number of CD format or downloadable software products with varying levels of sophisticated programming and features.
These software programs "opened the door" to a much greater level of customization, not only regarding the building information to be workloaded in them, but in the appearance and content of the reports as well.
Information entered into the process could be merged to produce professional looking work schedules and reports.
Finally, an easier and more efficient way was now available for BSCs and facility managers to factor into the workloading process a number of building-specific factors so the resulting calculations more closely reflected the building they were working on.
Today, these programs generally come with a detailed list of cleaning tasks and associated production rates from which the user can create the work schedule they desire.
Then, however, the user can go on to enter building-specific information, such as actual room dimensions, floor surfaces, and counts for various items such as drinking fountains or showers.
These software programs may also allow the user to assign important subjective factors to the bid such as a degree of difficulty or density.
The results can be broken down and printed by individual area or for the entire building.
In addition, these CD or downloadable software programs often provide a way for the user to conveniently and easily save their individual bids to be reviewed, edited or printed in the future.
This wave of janitorial bidding and estimating software programs, which are still widely used today, represented an important step forward in accuracy and professionalism for both the facility manager and BSC.
It"s not just for dusting
While these janitorial bidding software programs are useful for standard office cleaning situations, which include common tasks such as dusting or emptying trash containers, they are able to do much more.
Any number of periodic cleaning tasks such as high-speed burnishing or auto-scrubbing of floors, as examples, can be workloaded using these programs.
In fact, as long as an appropriate production rate can be determined for a specific task, if the program allows, it can be used to provide a calculated cleaning time by taking into account the size of the area and cleaning frequency for the task.
Some industry associations offer useful reference guides listing production rates for a wide variety of cleaning tasks.
Janitorial companies and facility managers who use in-house cleaning staff can both benefit by performing their own studies to develop cleaning task production rates of their own.
The results can provide a useful insight into the efficiency, or inefficiency, of their own company or department.
Going online
One of the most recent developments in janitorial bidding and estimating software is the move to go online.
This next big wave of change in bidding and estimating offers even more opportunity for improvements in speed, ease-of-use and accuracy.
While providing the features of traditional janitorial bidding and estimating software, online programs have a number of distinct advantages.
The "live" nature of the Internet allows for real time training on and updating of the bidding software.
Users can receive valuable live bidding help and training on their actual bid remotely via the Internet.
In addition, BSCs can use the program to bid on jobs anywhere and anytime they wish, even in the prospect"s office.
Janitorial bidding and estimating software is well positioned to benefit from operating in new areas like the online environment.
For example, the Internet provides a platform where continuous learning to improve the program can take place based on the analysis of raw building data gathered, not from just a few bids from a handful of companies, but from thousands of real life bids from hundreds of users.
Our current Information Age, resulting from the incredible wave of technology, promises to deliver BSCs and facility managers alike, faster, easier, and more accurate bidding and estimating software in the future.

If you settled an outstanding debt in 2013, you may have more paperwork to fill out.
Creditors who forgive debts of $600 or more are required to file a Form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt, because the IRS says you must include canceled debt in your gross income. You then have to pay taxes on that so-called income, unless you qualify for an exception.
"Getting a 1099-C to pay taxes on a debt you couldn't pay in the first place is terrifying," said Gerri Detweiler, Credit.com director of consumer education. "If you couldn't pay the debt, what makes the IRS think you can pay the taxes?"
Understanding the 1099-C
The IRS estimates more than 5.7 million 1099-C forms will be filed for tax year 2013 (some consumers may receive more than one), but not everyone with a canceled debt receives one. Regardless, you still need to deal with the form if you've settled debt for less than you owed, sold your home in a short sale for less than it was worth, went through foreclosure on a home worth less than what you owed on it, or if you didn't pay anything on a debt for at least three years and there was no collection activity in the past 12 months.
Whether or not you have to pay those taxes depends on a few things, Detweiler says, and the key to determining if you qualify for an exemption lies in Publication 4681, which includes a worksheet to help you determine if you were insolvent right before the debt was canceled.
What to Do With a 1099-C
Sometimes consumers receive 1099-C forms in error, whether it's related to an old debt or that the form is incorrect in some way. There's not really a simple strategy for confronting such problems, Detweiler said.
"The IRS doesn't make it easy," she said. "If you have to dispute it, there's not really a specific form for doing so. I recommend consumers get professional help in those cases."
If you think you qualify for an exemption, it can be addressed with IRS Form 982 Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness.
Try not to freak out when you get a 1099-C (though that's a logical first reaction when you receive one). It helps to regularly look at your credit reports to take stock of your debt — all consumers are entitled to one from each of the three major credit bureaus for free each year — and you can see how debts impact your overall credit health by analyzing your profile using a free tool like Credit.com's Credit Report Card.
Another thing about 1099-C forms — they don't mean the debt is forgiven, which is a common misconception, Detweiler said. Make sure you take care of them as soon as possible, because these tax bills could be upwards of tens of thousands of dollars.
"It's daunting," Detweiler says.
