When you stop to think about it, humankind has always enjoyed some type of leisure and recreation, so the history of leisure and recreation goes back a very long way. This history of leisure and recreation goes far back in time, but leisure and recreation really took off when the Industrial Revolution hit Great Britain in the 1700s. The advantages for people who don't have to work is they have enough time to spend with their families and friends for recreation and so forth.
The people worked hard, the Church forbade many forms of entertainment, but there were still leisure pastimes to help develop the growing history of leisure and recreation. A lot of people have limited incomes and the restaurants are a bit expensive these days.
Since time immemorial, traveling has been a recreational activity that most influential and opulent individuals indulge into. Buzzle is opening up for content submission again, this time with a new content format that takes user experience to a whole new level.
Other outdoor activities, including hunting and fishing, are often connected with camping trips. You can try going on a GERD diet that will address the symptoms of the acid reflux. Due to the overwhelming number of people who go camping every year, especially in the summer months, many campgrounds strongly encourage their potential users to make reservations well ahead of time.
I would like to begin explaining the differences between fast food restaurants and sit down restaurants. A lot of times people who have to work quite a bit only have the option of going to fast food restaurants rather then going to places to eat where they are spending time with their family, friends, co-workers and so forth. Some camping foods can now be heated with a heating pouch by adding water to a chemical heating source.
The advantages for people who have to work even though they may not have enough time to for recreation with their families as far as going to a sit down restaurant is they can arrange time for this with their families and even their friends when they have time off work.
However, jousting tournaments, hunting tournaments, and the earliest forms of chess, checkers, and other games developed during this time. You can simply avoid, as stated earlier, acidic food that causes the reflux. So in order to get to your job on time, it's a lot quicker, and easier to just stop at a fast food restaurant such as, Mcdonald's, or Burger king, to pick up breakfast on your way to the job.
List Of Hobbies
Heartburn is one of the symptoms of acid reflux. Help your system further by taking in foods that are prepared healthy, avoid oil-soaked cooking, avoid fat-soaked frying, and avoid the grits in the frying pan so to speak. First and foremost, avoid the foods and drinks mentioned earlier as their acidity inevitably leads to acid reflux.
5. Calcium – as one of the key foods to building stronger bones, calcium is important to ensuring your bones are resilient enough to avoid fractures or bone diseases like osteoporosis. However, you must remember that you have to take the diet in combination with a dietary and lifestyle change, sometimes even medication.
Hunting may still be pursued for trade, however, it is unwise because hunting is a high-involvement activity, which means, human abilities are the only abilities which will make the hunting successful. Thus, people who had labored from dawn to dusk on farms in rural England, moved to the big city, got jobs in factories, and had leisure time away from their jobs.
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
When you stop to think about it, humankind has always enjoyed some type of leisure and recreation, so the history of leisure and recreation goes back a very long way. A lot of experts say that to be able to address heartburn or acid reflux, you will need some changes in your lifestyle, as you need to modify your diet and food intake, your weight loss regimen, how you maximize rest, sleep, or recreation and even how you prepare your food.
If the Industrial Revolution helped create the history of leisure and recreation, the 20th century helped cement it. Workers demanded shorter working hours, paid vacations and holidays, and weekends off, leading to even more leisure time for the world's workforce.
About Buzzle
Many of us have heard that sea-food excite the human senses or that walnuts and honey are the best aphrodisiac. If the diet or food intake scheme does not work, you can consult your doctor for medications that can assist your diet change and counter the effects of the acid. Camping is one of the most popular forms of outdoor recreation and can range from "roughing it in the wilderness" with only a tent and limited cooking utensils to utilizing more modern accommodations like campers and mobile homes.
As the kind of food you ingest and the manner and timing in which you take them are important, it all boils down to one thing: you need a diet program for acid reflux. In fact, in a lot of states, hunting is regarded as an elite sport or at least, a sport for those who belong to the upper social class.
Due to the overwhelming number of people who go camping every year, especially in the summer months, many campgrounds strongly encourage their potential users to make reservations well ahead of time.

Easy projects
The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
You probably came here trying to find a small (minutes to hours) and easy task where you can get your hands dirty and get results immediately.
If you're a coreboot or flashrom newbie, this page is for you.
The flashrom tool can read/write coreboot/BIOS images from/to flash chips.
Add timing info to flash chip definitions
Go through the list of flash chips in flashchips.c inside the flashrom source. For each chip (except SPI chips), read through the data sheets and add a comment to the flash chip definition which contains the timing information in microseconds(!) for the probe sequence.
This will make probing a lot more reliable.
Every annotated chip helps.
Add the bus type to flash chip definitions
Go through the list of flash chips in flashchips.c inside the flashrom source. Look for chip definitions which have .bustype = CHIP_BUSTYPE_NONSPI and look at their data sheets. Read the data sheets and try to figure out the flash bus they use (Parallel/LPC/FWH/SPI). Change the bustype field to CHIP_BUSTYPE_PARALLEL etc. and post a patch to the list.
This will make probing faster and more reliable.
Even a single updated chip helps.
Flashrom#Communication_bus_protocol has a writeup on how to figure out the bus type.
Add new flash chip definitions
We have a few dozen chip IDs listed in flash.h, but not in flashchips.c. Find them, dig up the data sheets and add chip definitions for them to flashchips.c. You can use similar flash chips as a guideline.
This will reduce the number of undetected chips.
Every added chip broadens flashrom support.
Test flashrom
If you have a desktop (no laptops/notebooks/netbooks), please run
and check if it finds your flash chip. If it does and any of the operations are listed as unsupported, we'd like to hear about it. If your flash chip is not found, we'd like to hear about it as well.
In both cases, please send the output of
flashrom -V
to the coreboot mailing list (preferred) or to email@example.com
I'll skip explaining what coreboot is. The whole wiki is about this topic and I can't summarize it in one sentence.
coreboot v2
The workhorse version of coreboot. Lots of supported boards, but difficult to work with.
AMD 740G information gathering
(This project description is not finished yet)
If you have a board with AMD 740G chipset, please run (as root)
flashrom -V lspci -nnvvvxxxx superiotool -edV dmidecode
and mail the output to FIXME together with the exact model number/name of your board.
This helps us evaluate which boards are good targets for coreboot.
Here are some boards: http://www.czechcomputer.cz/cat_tree.jsp?bpath=Z%C3%A1kladn%C3%AD+desky\Socket+AM2%2B\AMD+740G
coreboot v3
The next generation version of coreboot. Few supported boards, still in the design testing phase, easy to work with.
TODO: Add easy tasks here.
coreboot can use a number of different payloads.
Add/test new supported payloads
- Test syslinux (probably requires SeaBIOS in addition, needs to be checked).
- Port GPXE to "native" coreboot (it works fine together with SeaBIOS though).
- Add support for using coreboot in VirtualBox.

The first time I met Brody Easton was in the men's locker room.
It was my first interview as a professional sportscaster.
The famed quarterback decided to bare all.
And by all, I don't mean he told me any of his secrets.
No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel, just as I asked the first question. On camera.
The Super Bowl MVP quickly adopted a new hobby—screwing with me.
When I pushed back, he shifted from wanting to screw with me, to wanting to screw me.
But I don't date players.
And it's not because I'm one of the few women working in the world of professional football.
I'd date an athlete.
It's the other kind of player I don't date.
You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking to get laid.
Brody Easton was the ultimate player.
Every woman wanted to be the one to change him.
But the truth was, all he needed was a girl worth changing for.
Turned out, I was that girl.
Simple right?
Let's face it. It never is.
There's a story between once upon a time and happily ever after…
And this one is ours.

A large number of connecting rod manufacturers have chosen ARP bolts as standard equipment. Theyre proud to advertise their products as being equipped with ARP rod bolts. And for good reason. The weak link in a connecting rod has always been the bolt, and racers know that nobody builds a better bolt than ARP. However, it is critically important to monitor the stretch of each bolt and replace it when it has permanently elongated by.0005?. Below you will find an extensive listing of aftermarket connecting rods and replacement bolt specifications.
In some instances, you may want to go to an ARP rod bolt made from a better grade of material. This will provide you with improved reliability. However, please understand that when you want bolts made from exotic, super high strength materials, the cost will increase significantly. If youre on a budget, its best to go with the most cost-effective solution. This is typically defined by the loads that are carried by the bolts in terms of piston/rod weight and the rotational speed of the engine. The most cost effective design is the one in which the bolt strength is just great enough to handle its anticipated load plus a safety margin for the occasional overloads. Using a material which has far more strength than required is not as cost effective but will definitely give you an extra margin of safety and longer service life.
You should also know that ARP rod bolts are superior to those from other manufacturers. Especially in the area of fatigue strength. Testing has shown ARP rod bolts to have ten times the fatigue strength of other bolts. In the chart below, youll find a bar chart that graphically shows the difference between ARP Pro Series rod bolts and the fastener made by a leading competitor. Its easy to see why ARP bolts are superior. As such, it makes good sense to rely on ARP for optimum connecting rod service and reliability. Make the most of your racing budget and rely on ARP rod bolts. Youll find the ARP name proudly stamped on each bolt as your assurance of quality.
Wave-Loc Features
Materials Used In ARP Connecting Rod Bolts
8740 CHROME MOLY: Until the development of todays modern alloys, chrome moly was popularly considered a high strength material. Now viewed as only moderate strength, 8740 chrome moly is seen as a good tough steel, with adequate fatigue properties for most racing applications, but only if the threads are rolled after heat-treatment, as is the standard ARP production practice. Typically, chrome moly is classified as a quench and temper steel, that can be heat-treated to deliver tensile strengths between 180,000 and 210,000 psi.
AERMET: With a typical tensile strength of 290,000-310,000 psi, Aermet is a new martensitic super-alloy that is stronger and less expensive than the super-alloy austenitic materials that follow. Because it is capable of achieving incredibly high clamping loads, it is ideal for short but extreme environments like top fuel, funny car and some short track applications. Although Aermet is a maraging steel that is far superior to other high strength steels in its resistance to stress corrosion, it must be kept well-oiled and not exposed to moisture.
ARP2000: ARP2000 is an alloy steel that can be safely heat treated to a higher level, producing a greater strength material than 8740. While 8740 and ARP2000 share similar characteristics ARP2000 is capable of achieving a clamp load at 220,000 psi. ARP2000 is used widely in short track and drag racing as an up-grade from 8740 chrome moly in both steel and aluminum rods. Stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement are typically not a problem, providing care is taken during installation.
L19: This is a premium steel that is processed to deliver superior strength and fatigue properties. L19 is a very high strength material compared to 8740 and ARP2000 and is capable of delivering a clamp load at 260,000 psi. It is primarily used in short track and drag racing applications where inertia loads exceed the clamping capability of ARP2000. Like most high strength, quench and temper steels L19 requires special care during manufacturing to avoid hydrogen embrittlement. This material is easily contaminated and subject to stress corrosion. It must be kept well-oiled and not exposed to moisture.
INCONEL 718: A nickel based material that is in the high temperature, super-alloy class, it is found to be equally suitable in lower temperature applications. This material delivers tensile strengths in the 210,000-230,000 psi range and exhibits improved fatigue properties. Best of all, Inconel 718 is completely immune to hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion.
ARP3.5 (AMS5844): While similar to Inconel 718, these superalloys are found in many jet engine and aerospace applications where heat and stress attack the life of critical components. The high cobalt content of this alloy, while expensive, delivers a material with superior fatigue characteristics and typically tensile strength in the 260,000-280,000 psi range. The immunity to hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion of these materials is a significant design consideration. These materials are primarily used in connecting rods where extremely high loads, high RPM and endurance are important factors Formula 1, NASCAR and IRL applications.
CUSTOM AGE 625 PLUS: This newly formulated super-alloy demonstrates superior fatigue cycle life, tensile strength and toughness with complete resistance to atmospheric corrosion and oxidation. ARP is the first to develop manufacturing and testing processes for fasteners with Custom Age 625+. Best of all it is less expensive and expected to soon replace MP-35 as the material of choice in the high strength, super-alloy field. Typical tensile strength is 260,000-280,000 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions about Estate Planning
How We Can Help You Plan for the Future
Estate planning can often seem overwhelming and confusing. To add some clarity to the process, our attorneys have compiled a list of our FAQs about estate planning in the space below. If you have further inquiries, do not hesitate to contact our office, and we will happily answer your questions.
Probate is the court and process that looks after people who cannot make their own personal, health care and financial decisions. These people fall into three general categories: Minor Children (under age 18 in most states); Incapacitated Adults; and People who have died without legal arrangements to avoid probate. Probate proceedings can be expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, the court proceeding and associated documents are all a matter of public record. Many people choose to avoid probate in order to save money, spare their heirs a legal hassle, and keep their personal affairs private.
The document a person signs to provide for the orderly disposition of assets after death. Wills do not avoid probate. Wills have no legal authority until the willmaker dies and the original will is delivered to the Probate Court. Still, everyone with minor children needs a will. It is the only way to appoint the new "parent" of an orphaned child. Special testamentary trust provisions in a will can provide for the management and distribution of assets for your heirs. Additionally, assets can be arranged and coordinated with provisions of the testamentary trusts to avoid death taxes.
Sometimes called an Advance Medical Directive, a living will allows you to state your wishes in advance regarding what types of medical life support measures you prefer to have, or have withheld/withdrawn if you are in a terminal condition (without reasonable hope of recovery) and cannot express your wishes yourself. Oftentimes a living will is executed along with a Durable Power of Attorney for Health care, which gives someone legal authority to make your health care decisions when you are unable to do so yourself.
If you die without even a Will (intestate), the legislature of your state has already determined who will inherit your assets and when they will inherit them. You may not agree with their plan, but roughly 70 percent of Americans currently use it.
You may avoid probate on the transfer of some assets at your death through the use of beneficiary designations. Laws regarding what assets may be transferred without probate (non-probate transfer laws) vary from state to state. Some common examples include life insurance death benefits and bank accounts.
These allow you to appoint someone you know and trust to make your personal health care and financial decisions even when you cannot. If you are incapacitated without these legal documents, then you and your family will be involved in a probate proceeding known as a guardianship and conservatorship. This is the court proceeding where a judge determines who should make these decisions for you under the ongoing supervision of the court.
This is an agreement with three parties: the Trust-makers, the Trustees (or Trust Managers), and the Trust Beneficiaries. For example, a husband and wife may name themselves all three parties to create their trust, manage all the assets transferred to the trust, and have full use and enjoyment of all the trust assets as beneficiaries. Further "back-up" managers can step in under the terms of the trust to manage the assets should the couple become incapacitated or die. Special provisions in the trust also control the management and distribution of assets to heirs in the event of the trustmaker's death. With proper planning, the couple also can avoid or eliminate death taxes on their estate. The Revocable Living Trust may allow them to accomplish all this outside of any court proceeding.
Whether you are young or old, rich or poor, married or single, if you own titled assets such as a house and want your loved ones to avoid court interference at your death or incapacity, consider a revocable living trust. A trust allows you to bring all of your assets together under one plan.
This is the most common form of asset ownership between spouses. Joint tenancy (or TBE) has the advantage of avoiding probate at the death of the first spouse. However, the surviving spouse should not add the names of other relatives to their assets. Doing so may subject their assets to loss through the debts, bankruptcies, divorces and/or lawsuits of any additional joint tenants. Joint tenancy planning also may result in unnecessary death taxes on the estate of a married couple.

Flooring is often the last thing on homeowners' minds when they move in or are upgrading. Their eyes are drawn upward toward furniture, linens, appliances, and fixtures. However, the flooring is the first thing you should consider when moving into or improving your home. The flooring is the foundation – a sturdy, durable floor with a long life will make you feel secure and save you money. Many homeowners get overwhelmed with the amount of flooring price options available. Today, we'll look at what to consider when getting a flooring quote and how to find the flooring that's right for you.
Choose the Right Flooring
For most of us, a floor is a floor, until we start thinking seriously about it. The floor you need depends on your lifestyle. A single woman with a full-time job can probably do fine with a plush white carpet. However, if she has pets, she might want to reconsider and choose a berber carpet or hardwood floors. A family with small children might do well with hardwood floors and area rugs. However, those children might like to run around in socks or barefoot and could easily slip or fall. Children also don't like sitting on hard floors, which is a downside during the times they need to sit still. If you're not sure what flooring will fit your lifestyle or have several different options, ask an expert at your local flooring store.
Set Your Own Budget First
Flooring experts want to sell their product, but they also like serving customers who think ahead and set their own budgets. Before going in, measure all the rooms that need new flooring and write the measurements down. If you're only flooring part of a space and don't know how much you'll need, make an educated estimate. Compare prices on different flooring types, such as cherry vs. cypress wood or shag vs. berber carpet. Set aside 10-15% of your budget for unforeseen developments, such as discontinued options, a conflict with the contractor, or do-it-yourself injuries. Approach your flooring expert with your budget and ask to see all options fitting it, starting at the low end.
Consider Your Work Ethic
A floor option always looks pretty in a sample, safely tucked away on a store shelf. However, you shouldn't buy a floor style based on looks any more than you'd adopt a pet without considering it's behavior and needs. The nicest-looking floors can have the biggest problems, so consider how much work you can and will put in. If you're not willing to give your kitchen a good mop or scrub now and then, go with ceramic tiles over wood. If you want to floor your bathroom yourself, don't choose marble or limestone, as these require professionals.
Grade Your Flooring
You can't give flooring a grade like the ones your teacher gave to your term papers, but you can and should ask your flooring expert about different grades of wood, tile, and other materials. Depending on your taste, you'll need different grades. If you want a rough-hewn, homey atmosphere in wood-floored rooms, look for wood of slightly lower grades with irregularities and "character." If you want your home to look like a showroom, be prepared to shell out the big bucks for uniform wood, limestone, and plush carpet.

Sources: Gearbox Shelves Aliens Title Amid Layoffs (Updated)
Update: Gearbox president Randy Pitchford has responded to the rumors in a comment post, saying that Aliens: Colonial Marines has not been cancelled.
"Aliens isn't canned," said Pitchford. "We've made some transformative changes and yes, that's meant some talent changes, but that's not the real story. The true relevance of the story will actually be irrelevant until we release our next game, at which time I hope there will be a lot of interest in what we've done that can produce such results."
Original story: Production on Gearbox Software's shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines (PC, 360, PS3), a four player co-op shooter based on the classic film franchise, has been halted, according to multiple sources.
Several sources have also told Shacknews that Gearbox today laid off between 15 and 25 employees, with one putting the number at 26. These sources independently claimed that the poor performance of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway and the stoppage of work on the Aliens title were contributing factors to the layoffs. Though specific sales data on Hell's Highway is unavailable, the title debuted on the NPD group's weekly PC sales chart at ninth position, before quickly falling off the following week. Hell's Highway did not place on the US console sales chart for either September or October--the console versions of Hell's Highway were released on September 23--though publisher Ubisoft partly attributed its strong second quarter sales to the game.
Aliens: Colonial Marines was announced in February. Billed as an authentic Aliens shooter, Colonial Marines was backed by a strong pre-production team, including writers from the hit TV show Battlestar Galactica. The Sega-published title was previously scheduled for release in 2009.
Gearbox has expanded to develop a wide range of projects recently, shipping Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (PC, 360, PS3) and Samba de Amigo (Wii) earlier this year while simultaneously working on its original shooter Borderlands (PC, 360, PS3).

A Bill Graham Presents staff artist, Harry Rossit has more than lived up to the "... New artist to watch" reviews he received in his days as an emerging artist. Designing posters since at least 1991, his work is highly creative and can include a detailed cartoon image, a performer's portrait sketch, or require 3-D glasses for viewing. Rossit has been known to include his own face or those of friends in posters and always hides a yellow smiley-face in the composition, features of his sometimes quirky art that keeps the viewer scanning his posters for details far beyond the "who-when-where" facts.

Sport™ 304 SS Cat-Back Exhaust System with Dual Rear Exit (14122) by Corsa®. 2.5" inlet for factory catalytic converters. Exhaust System Type: Cat-Back. Exhaust Tubing Material: 304 SS. Main Tubing Diameter: 3". Exhaust System Sound: Aggressive / Loud. The patented Reflective Sound Cancellation (RSC) technology provides a unique combination of Robust and Bold Performance Sound on acceleration, and No-Drone Comfort when touring. These Stainless steel performance exhausts outlasts all competitors, sounding and looking good all the way.
The Corsa mufflers are of a unique and patented design that combines the performance advantages of straight-through mufflers with the sound control advantages of precision engineered baffled mufflers. By exact positioning and design of the baffles, Corsa's acoustical engineers can choose which sound frequencies to cancel out. Every vehicle has certain resonance frequencies that cause an irritating, and sometimes even nauseating, drone. Corsa mufflers are adapted to each application, with the mufflers cancelling out the sound frequencies that cause drone in the vehicle the muffler is designed for. This is how Corsa mufflers can keep an unrestricted performance and sound for acceleration while providing a comfortable sound level for cruising speeds. Corsa exhaust systems come in different tunings, catering to different customer tastes.
Xtreme systems provide Aggressive and Deep Sound. The sound is a race inspired big sound with a deep throaty growl.
Sport system sound is Robust and Bold. Sport sound levels offer the popular Corsa growl when on the throttle. This is perfect for customers who want to be noticed on acceleration or when passing, but tour in comfort. Sport systems are ideal in combination with other moderate modifications such as performance air intakes.
Touring sounds are Reserved but Distinctive. The Touring sound is just a notch above stock. The Touring systems are perfect for those who are adding other major power modifications to their car such as headers, to keep the sound blended perfectly at cruising speeds.
Corsa Performance Exhausts® are the highest quality, best looking and most long-lasting exhaust systems you can find on the market. Corsa only uses the highest quality automotive grade stainless steel, polished to mirror shine. And this goes for all the components, including hangers and clamps, which makes for a better looking and more long-lasting installation than any other brand. There is no packed insulation material in the mufflers that can come loose or disintegrate (which is the major cause of failure for other straight-through mufflers). The Corsa system will keep its sound properties and good looks forever, if properly cared for.
Corsa Performance Exhausts® leads the premium exhaust market forward through advanced engineering and innovation. Utilizing the patented RSC™ technology, Corsa continues to enhance driving experiences, delivering powerful sound and noticeable performance gains without sacrificing the pleasure of cruising. Utilizing the most advanced manufacturing methods and making every part in the USA, the team at Corsa Performance Exhausts ensures that all products meet the highest standards of quality.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder
What is oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)?
ODD is a behavior disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, that is characterized by uncooperative, defiant, negativistic, irritable, and annoying behaviors toward parents, peers, teachers, and other authority figures. Children and adolescents with ODD are more distressing or troubling to others than they are distressed or troubled themselves.
What causes oppositional defiant disorder?
While the cause of ODD is not known, there are two primary theories offered to explain the development of ODD. A developmental theory suggests that the problems begin when children are toddlers. Children and adolescents who develop ODD may have had a difficult time learning to separate and become autonomous from the primary person to whom they were emotionally attached. The "bad attitudes" characteristics of ODD are viewed as a continuation of the normal developmental issues that were not adequately resolved during the toddler years. Learning theory suggests, however, that the negativistic characteristics of ODD are learned attitudes, reflecting the effects of negative reinforcement techniques used by parents and authority figures. The use of negative reinforcement by parents is viewed as increasing the rate and intensity of oppositional behaviors in the child as it achieves the desired attention, time, concern, and interaction with parents or authority figures.
Who is affected by oppositional defiant disorder?
Behavior disorders are, by far, the most common reason for referrals to mental health services for children and adolescents. Oppositional defiant disorder is reported to affect 1% to 16% of the school-age population. ODD is more common in boys than in girls.
What are the symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder?
Most symptoms seen in children and adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder also occur at times in children without this disorder, especially around the ages or 2 or 3, or during the teenage years. Many children, especially when they are tired, hungry, or upset, tend to disobey, argue with parents, or defy authority. However, in children and adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder, these symptoms occur more frequently and interfere with learning, school adjustment, and, sometimes, with the child's relationships with others.
Symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder may include:
Frequent temper tantrums
Excessive arguments with adults
Refusal to comply with adult requests
Always questioning rules; refusal to follow rules
Behavior intended to annoy or upset others, including adults
Blaming others for one's own misbehaviors or mistakes
Easily annoyed by others
Frequently having an angry attitude
Speaking harshly, or unkindly
Seeking revenge
The symptoms of ODD may resemble other medical conditions or behavior problems. Always consult your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
How is oppositional defiant disorder diagnosed?
Parents, teachers, and other authority figures in child and adolescent settings often identify the child or adolescent with ODD. However, a child psychiatrist or a qualified mental health professional usually diagnoses ODD in children and adolescents. A detailed history of the child's behavior from parents and teachers, clinical observations of the child's behavior, and, sometimes, psychological testing contribute to the diagnosis. Parents who note symptoms of ODD in their child or teen can help by seeking an evaluation and treatment early. Early treatment can often prevent future problems.
Further, oppositional defiant disorder often coexists with other mental health disorders, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, conduct disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, increasing the need for early diagnosis and treatment. Consult your child's healthcare provider for more information.
Treatment for oppositional defiant disorder
Specific treatment for children with oppositional defiant disorder will be determined by your child's healthcare provider based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of your child's symptoms
Your child's tolerance for specific medications or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Individual psychotherapy. Individual psychotherapy for ODD often uses cognitive-behavioral approaches to improve problem solving skills, communication skills, impulse control, and anger management skills.
Family therapy. Family therapy is often focused on making changes within the family system, such as improving communication skills and family interactions. Parenting children with ODD can be very difficult and trying for parents. Parents need support and understanding as well as help in developing more effective parenting approaches.
Peer group therapy. Peer group therapy is often focused on developing social skills and interpersonal skills.
Medication. While not considered effective in treating ODD, medication may be used if other symptoms or disorders are present and responsive to medication.
Prevention of oppositional defiant disorder in childhood
Some experts believe that a developmental sequence of experiences occurs in the development of oppositional defiant disorder. This sequence may start with ineffective parenting practices, followed by difficulty with other authority figures and poor peer interactions. As these experiences compound and continue, oppositional and defiant behaviors develop into a pattern of behavior. Early detection and intervention into negative family and social experiences may be helpful in disrupting the sequence of experiences leading to more oppositional and defiant behaviors. Early detection and intervention with more effective communication skills, parenting skills, conflict resolution skills, and anger management skills can disrupt the pattern of negative behaviors and decrease the interference of oppositional and defiant behaviors in interpersonal relationships with adults and peers, and school and social adjustment. The goal of early intervention is to enhance the child's normal growth and development, and improve the quality of life experienced by children or adolescents with oppositional defiant disorder.

Gun Control Proposals Put Pressure on Democratic Senators From Red States
March 09, 2013
Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT)(Photo: AP)
(AP) -- U.S. Sen. Max Baucus has been here before.
Back during the Clinton era, the Democrat faced a choice: support an assault weapons ban urged by a president from his own party and risk angering constituents who cherish their gun rights, or buck his party. He chose the ban, and nearly lost his Senate seat.
Now, as he begins his campaign for a seventh term, Baucus faces the question again. For weeks, gun foes have sought assurances he would oppose the assault weapons ban. But it was only this past week he said he would oppose it.
That decision alone doesn't settle the issue for his re-election campaign. His opponents are watching closely, eager to pounce as he navigates a series of other gun control proposals, including an expected call for universal background checks.
Baucus' predicament is one that a group of Democrats like him in the West and South are facing. They hail from predominantly rural regions of the country where the Second Amendment is cherished and where Republicans routinely win in presidential elections.
From Montana to Louisiana, these anxious voters have made at least six Democratic senators a little uneasy heading into next year's election season. Both sides are aware that gun-owners' rights are taking shape as a campaign issue that could shift the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
"Make no mistake - it is a very delicate dance for rural state Democrats," said Barrett Kaiser, a Democratic political consultant.
"I would be stunned if the Montana congressional delegation said anything but `hell no' to gun control measures," he added.
Part of the concern comes from a proposal by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would ban assault weapons and high-capacity clips. The plan is a response to calls for new gun restrictions from President Barack Obama in the aftermath of the shooting rampage at a Connecticut elementary school.
Gun control is a top-agenda item for many Democrats, and they'll need all the votes they can to push changes.
Baucus knows, though, that a gun control vote "opens the door for whoever challenges him, because Montanans do not want the federal government restricting guns. That is clear as day," said Republican state Rep. Scott Reichner, who was Mitt Romney's campaign chairman in Montana.
"It would be a monumental mistake on his part" to support federal gun control legislation, Reichner said.
Gun rights carry sway in Montana. The state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks says Montana "boasts more hunters per capita than any other state in the nation." State lawmakers have been discussing measures to expand gun rights. And a pro-gun group, the Montana Shooting Sports Association, has set up a website that is updated with Baucus' public statements on gun policy.
Other Democratic senators that Republicans are watching closely include Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
Democrats control the Senate, but if Republicans pick off these seats they could take the chamber.
Pryor already has said he won't support an assault weapons ban, and the measure is unlikely to clear the Senate. Gun activists still worry that other restrictions they oppose are in the works.
"I don't think the assault rifle ban, the semi-auto ban, has been the real objective," said Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association. "I think that is where the rubber meets the road, federal gun registration."
The gun rights crowd considers mandatory registration as an unconstitutional overreach of federal authority and the close attention paid to all discussions on the topic show how carefully Baucus and others must tread.
Baucus would appear to be a shoo-in for re-election. He's the third most senior U.S. senator and the chairman of the Finance Committee, which lets him prioritize many Montana projects.
He's also a consummate dealmaker who routinely collects endorsements from Republican-allied groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And he's worked hard over the years to become the only Senate Democrat with an A-plus rating from the National Rifle Association.
But one wrong gun vote could energize his opposition.
Though Baucus specifically rejected the assault rifle ban, he stopped short of mentioning expanded background checks by name. Baucus indicated he prefers the focus was elsewhere.
"Instead of focusing on new laws, Max believes the first step should be effectively enforcing the laws already on the books," Baucus spokeswoman Jennifer Donohue said Thursday.
The entire debate represents a potential replay of the most difficult fight of his career, when Baucus voted for the 1993 Brady Bill that established background checks and the original 1994 ban on assault rifles and high-capacity clips.
Those votes led to the closest election in four decades of politics for Baucus, a narrow victory in a bitter campaign against Republican Denny Rehberg.
The other Democratic senators in rural states could find themselves in similar fights and have been cagey over the issue. Most have taken a wait-and-see approach.
The NRA last month launched an advertising campaign aimed squarely at this group, sending a strong message. The organization did not return a call seeking comment.
Democratic political operatives say the NRA could be overplaying its hand this time, arguing some sportsmen may be willing to listen to moderate proposals.
Still, Baucus and his colleagues aren't likely to take risks and by next year's election, he and others could seek to turn the issue to their advantage by using a pro-gun stance to appeal to conservative and libertarian-minded voters.
"Why wouldn't he want to talk about guns?" said Montana State University political scientist David Parker. "Sen. Baucus is as about as middle of the road as they get in the United States Senate. What he doesn't want to do is have himself painted as a national Democrat or as an Obama Democrat."

Federal Wage System (FWS) Payscales in New Jersey for 2014
The Federal Wage System (FWS) is a pay scale system that applies to blue-collar Federal government workers. The Office of Personnel Management, with the help of local labor unions, establishes hourly FWS pay tables for every major Government facility in the United States.
Similar to the white-collar GS Payscale, an employee's pay under the FWS is determined by their pay grade (determined by their job title and seniority) and pay step (determined by how long they have worked in that position).
New Jersey has one or more government installations with FWS pay tables, which are listed below. For a detailed calculation of your pay as a FWS employee in New Jersey, see our FWS Pay Calculator.

Computational engineering science (CES) has its roots in the modeling and simulation of technical systems and phenomena occurring in nature. Today, there is a trend toward an increasing intricacy of the systems being analyzed (complexity), a growing range of interacting scales which must be considered at once (multiscale), and larger numbers of interacting physical phenomena that are inseparable (multiphysics). Furthermore, there is increased demand for best-design identification of engineered systems with reduced input from human intuition (optimization). Therefore, in addition to pursue research in the classical CES
research fields, AICES sets out to advance computational engineering science in three critical areas of synthesis:
- model identification and discovery supported by model-based experimentation (MEXA),
- understanding scale interaction and scale integration,
- and optimal design and operation of engineered systems, including both the products and manufacturing processes.
These diverse objectives share a common trait, in that they are examples of broadly-defined inverse problems.

The holidays can be a great time to get out of town to visit family you rarely get to see, hit the slopes or flee to the beach. Regardless of how you spend your time away, you need to ensure your house stays safe while you're gone.
A house left empty can be an opportunity for burglars, so before you pack your bags, prepare to protect the stuff that's staying at home in Washington.
At C. Don Filer Agency, we want to make it a little easier for you to get out of town with peace of mind and return to everything you left behind, so here are some pointers for prepping your home before you travel.
- Lock it up. Check and double-check that you have locked all the doors and windows.
- Check under the mat. If you store an extra key outside your house, remove it. Instead, give the key to a trusted friend or neighbor in case someone needs to enter in an emergency.
- Communicate. Inform a friend or neighbor that you will be away. Ask them to keep an eye on the house, and give them a way to reach you to report any suspicious activity. But don't communicate your absence on social media!
- Forego deliveries. Make sure to stop delivery of packages, mail, newspapers, and anything else that could pile up on your porch. Ask your trusted friend or neighbor to pick these items up every other day.
- Remove temptations. Do not leave wrapped gifts or expensive electronics visible through windows and doors.
From C. Don Filer Agency, we wish you, your family (and your home and belongings) a very safe and joyous holiday!

Freedom To Be Left Alone Takes A Hit
That, in a word, is how you feel when someone broadcasts your home address without your knowledge, against your wishes. Your correspondent speaks from experience. Six years ago, when white supremacists published my home address and phone number on their websites, the first thing I felt was vulnerable.
The folks at the Journal News newspaper in New York state would doubtless say it was not their intention to do anything like that when they published online maps of gun ownership in their area. But intention and effect are two completely different things.
The maps show dots covering two suburban New York counties — Westchester and Rockland — like a rash, one for each of the 33,614 persons who is licensed to own a handgun there. Had it been the intention of the paper simply to illustrate the ubiquity of guns, those graphics would have done the job nicely.
But the paper did not stop there. Click on any one dot and up comes the name and home address of the gun owner in question.
Gun owners nationwide have been furious ever since the maps went up a few days before Christmas. They have a right to be.
Mind you, they have no right to send threatening notes, or packets of white powder (later deemed harmless) to the newsroom, no right to harass employees of the newspaper, as some have done. Such behavior lends new meaning to the term "gun nuts." But, that said, yes, they do have a right to be angry.
The paper has confronted the storm of controversy, including a call for an advertiser boycott, by pointing out that the information it published is not private. As reporter Dwight R. Worley (himself a registered gun owner) noted in an accompanying article, "Anyone can find out the names and addresses of handgun owners in any county with a simple Freedom of Information Law request."
But that, again, misses the point. There is a qualitative difference between information that is public in the sense that anyone who is so inclined can go dig it out, and information that is public because it has been broadly publicized.
Would you publish a database of people who have filed for bankruptcy? People who have been foreclosed? People who have tax liens? Or would you say this information, while public, has no news value; tells a reader nothing he needs to know and does so at a price of discomfiting some law-abiding citizen, putting their business in the street?
Yes, it can be argued that guns are different because, while legal, they also embody legitimate concerns for personal safety. But it can also be argued that if you really want to know if your neighbor has a gun, you can ask — or, if that is not an option, you can look it up.
The Journal News database seems an act of excess, the sort of thing that is done because it can be done, with little thought given to the consequences of the doing.
And if one consequence is that some New York state gun owners feel exposed, the larger consequence for all of us is a further chipping away of private spaces, a further compromise of the increasingly quaint idea that one has a right to live peacefully and an expectation to not be bothered in so doing.
This is not about freedom of the press or freedom to own guns. It is, rather, about the freedom to be left alone, and whether that's still sustainable or whether henceforth we must all live exposed. The technology being what it is, it's worth remembering that the answer to that question, whatever it may be, will be shaped both by journalists and by those who are not.
Consider that, while some gun owners vented their anger by making threats and sending baking soda in the mail, others expressed themselves more pointedly. They posted home addresses for Journal News employees online.
