Does Montresor resolve his conflict with Fortunato?
- print Print
- list Cite
One could answer the question of Montresor resolving his conflict with Fortunato (from Poe's Story "The Cask of Amontillado") in two very different ways.
First, one could look at the fact that Montresor is able to resolve his conflict with him by ridding himself of the physical problem (Fortunato's life). By ending his life, Montresor has rid himself of the physical reminder that Fortunato still walks alive and well.
Another way one could look at the conflict resolution is that the internal conflict will never be resolved. Sometimes ridding ones self of the physical problem does not rid one of the mental conflict.
What this means is just because Fortunato is dead does not mean that his insult against Montresor will disappear. In fact, one can carry a grudge against the dead as easily as one can carry a grudge against the living.

Eddie Murphy Is Doing Fine After Fugazi Death Reports On The Internet
Remember that crazy report Friday that said it was a wrap for your boy Eddie Murphy?? Well Charlie Murphy is confirming that his is fine…and ALIVE!
Despite an Internet report that circulated Friday declaring the actor dead after a car crash in Australia, the Beverly Hills Cop star's brother confirms Murphy is alive and well. "My brother is fine. People who start these type of rumors are sick people," fellow comic Charlie Murphy tweeted after the Global Associated News Website sent out a bogus report. "It's really astounding how low people will go for attention. Eddie Murphy is fine!"
According to the site, Murphy, 50, was said to have perished in a single car crash in Queensland, Australia, while on vacation. Though the site appears legit at first glance, Murphy fans who took a closer look at the page would have seen a small-print disclaimer denouncing the site and its contents as fake.

Free Clinic Aims To Help Startups Tiptoe Through Legal Quicksand
This article was first published by The Times of Israel and was re-posted with permission.
Israel may be one of the best places in the world to create a new startup, yet it can be very hard for entrepreneurs to deal with bureaucracy and legalities. A tiny detail or a small mistake can cost thousands of shekels.
For this reason, the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, a private university north of Tel Aviv, has set up a free legal clinic to help new startups wade their way through legal quagmires and bureaucracy.

"Our legal clinic is a unit within the IDC Herzliya that wants to make social impact involving students, who can in the process also get practical legal experience. They get real legal experience, perhaps even more than some interns," said Assaf Ben David, a lawyer with international, commercial and high-tech experience, who was recruited to establish the clinic two years ago.
Startups that wish to become clients of the clinic must be technologically related: they must produce apps, software, websites or physical products that do something unique. In addition, they must be social ventures.
"Dan Nir and Roger Gladstone, the people who donated money to open the clinic, had a dream to create social change. Due to their social awareness, and the IDC's focus on social involvement alongside entrepreneurship, we decided to choose only this type of startups," said Ben David.
Nir is an American private investor and a philanthropist who managed hedge funds for 25 years. Gladstone founded the Gladstone Law Group and is a board member of numerous organizations.
SEE ALSO: Startup Incubator Embraces New Immigrants To Israel
The clinic is the first of its kind in Israel, said Ben David. The free legal service is exclusively provided to help women, new immigrants, Arab-Israelis, ultra-Orthodox Jews, the Druze, residents of Israel's periphery and individuals with disabilities.

our silence is shameful
little girl your barely speak
you close your eyes but you never sleep
little girl you have done your best

but no human being should have to live like this
this is the way that the world turns

we deal in flesh and trade in sin
when innocence in commodity
we pick our fruit while its still green.

Tags: horse joint supplements, horse supplements, joint supplements
As a performance horse owner, you've dedicated both time and finances to provide the level of care your horse deserves but you still may have questions. You may have heard about horse joint supplements but still be wondering how true the advertisements are. Here's the information you'll need to decide for yourself if horse joint supplements are the right choice for your horse.
Horse Joint Supplements- Basic Information about Joint Health
Monitor your horse's muscle development, diet and joint health. Every decision you make concerning the health of your horse should be made with care. With performance horse issues that can range from slow healing injuries to Degenerative Equine Osteoarthritis, preventative measures are vital.
Fundamentals of Horse Joints
There are three different types of horse joints.
- Joints located in the skull are known as Fibrous joints. These joints do not move and therefore do not often suffer direct damage due to rigorous performance.
- Cartilaginous joints are also immobile and can be found in your horse's vertebrae. Since they generally suffer little damage during performances, trainers and handlers usually don't have to about these joints.
- Joints located in the forelimbs and rear limbs of the horse as well as in knees, shoulder and elbows are known as Synovial joints. The synovial joints are highly mobile and they support most of the weight and shock of the horse as it moves, therefore are most susceptible to damage.
Cheap Horse Joint Supplements- Types of Joint Damage
Because a performance horse spends a great deal of time in training and strenuous activity, its joints may become strained and damaged. The greatest amount of weight is put on the Synovial joints. According to Equine Practitioners studies, joint injuries are usually the result of overwork especially during equine competitions and events.
Preventative Measures Are Best
In order for your horse to remain healthy and injury free, his joints must be kept in top condition.
Joint medications prevent joint injuries and diseases which is the best care system for your horse.
Are Supplements the Answer?
Are horse joint supplements the answer to injury prevention and joint health? Supplements containing two key ingredients can help to prevent injury and promote overall health.
- One supplement component called Glucosamine builds, maintains and develops strong, healthy joints.
- The second ingredient to look for is MSM, which helps your horse's muscles to form properly, since strong muscles lead to well-supported joints.
It is important not to fall for marketing hype and purchase supplements you know about. When you've combined a healthy diet, proper exercise and quality horse joint supplements, your horse will have the best chance of strong muscles, bones and joints. Your horse will perform well and grow with the help of cost effective supplements. Quality Horse Joint Supplements

Using and Benefiting From Prewriting: Elementary and Middle School Students
The benefits of mastering prewriting skills for elementary and middle school students are really quite profound. By learning effective prewriting techniques students can develop the skill of being able to see the big picture before they start an assignment or project of any kind.
When students have truly mastered prewriting they will have developed the habits and the skills of being able to think ahead, as well as being able to find the beginning, middle and ending of all their assignments. This greatly improves their writing and their class work across all subjects. That is powerful!
Prewriting Is a Map for Students: It is a Map that They Create
Prewriting is an excellent map! It helps keep students from getting lost. It also helps students to easily get back on track if they do get lost. It is a map that will greatly improve your students' writing.
However, looking at a map it is not the same thing as being there. Your students' writing may turn out to be somewhat different than what their prewriting shows.
Once students begin the actual writing they:
• May not use their prewriting as much as you thought they would
• May use their prewriting in a way that is different than you thought they would
Students may use their prewriting to:
• Check in with and monitor their ideas. They may do this in order to verify and validate that they like the direction they are headed.
• Check and see which important ideas they have not used. Their prewriting is like their personal bank account of good ideas.
• Monitor the direction they are headed and to monitor how their entire essay will connect together.
"Pattern Based Writing: Quick and Easy Essay" contains a unique and powerful prewriting system that teaches students how to improve their writing before they even start writing…
What this means for students is:
• Less editing… and students like that idea!
• Finishing work faster… and students like that idea!
• Creating first drafts that are so good that not even their teacher can believe it is a first draft… and everyone likes that idea!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Devine Redding, Tyler Natee and Zander Diamont each rushed for more than 100 yards Saturday and five different Indiana players scored on touchdown runs as the Hoosiers got past Maryland 42-36.
The Hoosiers (4-4, 2-3 Big Ten) snapped a three-game losing streak and took a big step toward becoming bowl-eligible, something they haven't done in consecutive seasons since 1990 and 1991.
Redding had 17 carries for 130 yards and one score. Natee, the 270-pound freshman running back, ran 18 times for a career-high 111 yards and a TD while Diamont, the backup quarterback had 11 carries for 104 yards and two scores.
Indiana finished with 650 total yards, 414 yards on the ground.
"When you get that running game going, that stuff is easy. When you're playing one dimensional, it's a lot easier to get defended," Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. "A lot of things that we did today, we wouldn't have done last week because of the scheme of the (opposing) defense. Some of the things we did were just part of the nature of what we do within the structure."
Maryland (5-3, 2-3) sure didn't make it easy in its attempt to earn a bowl-clinching victory. The Terrapins led 21-16 at halftime and 24-23 after a 32-yard field goal with 1:11 left in the third quarter.
But Indiana closed out the quarter with a 15-yard TD run from Mitchell Paige then extended the lead to 35-24 on Natee's 2-yard plunge with 8:30 left to play.
The Terrapins closed to 35-30 when Perry Hills hurdled a defender for a 5-yard TD run, his second rushing score of the game, but the 2-point conversion pass failed and Maryland couldn't get any closer.
"We didn't tackle well, we didn't execute," new Maryland coach DJ Durkin said. "We didn't play at any sort of standard that would help us win a game."

Jacksonville police are investigating the shooting of a 5-year-old boy Sunday morning at a home on the Westside.
The boy suffered a single gunshot wound to the chest. He was in critical condition when flown by helicopter ambulance to UF Health Jacksonville following the shooting about 10:30 a.m. in the 8500 block of Vining Street, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
He had been inside the home with two younger siblings and his father when shot, the Sheriff's Office said.
The father told investigators he was inside a bedroom when he heard a gunshot from the living room. He ran out to find his son shot. The father said he then grabbed the boy, ran outside and down the street to his parents' home and called 911, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Authorities didn't release the names of the victim or family.
Because it was early in the investigation, detectives hadn't determined the circumstances of the shooting. The Sheriff's Office is working with other agencies including the state Department of Children and Families on the case.
Sunday afternoon, neighbors said they didn't know what happened but hoped the child would be all right.

Spread festive cheer on Road to Hope
Thursday, 24 November 2016
LOCAL residents are being urged to spread some Christmas cheer among people in Eastern Europe by supporting the annual Road to Hope Shoebox Appeal. Limavady is home to the charity's sorting office which receives shoeboxes from across the province as well as parts of Co Donegal for checking, sorting and distribution.
As its 2016 deadline approaches this Friday, November 25, local co-ordinator Clare Wheeldon is seeking volunteers to help at the sorting station. Alternatively anyone wishing to help a child or adult can do so by making their own shoebox gift.
Claire explained: "Last year, kind-hearted people from across the province donated 11,000 gift-filled shoeboxes, all of which passed through Limavady on their way to Eastern Europe.
"The lorries which take these wonderful gifts to those who need them will be passing through the Roe Valley soon so we need to have all the shoeboxes, sorted, checked and ready for shipping by this Friday.
"While those tasked with checking the boxes must be over 18, there are plenty of other jobs which have to be addressed.
"It would be a great experience for local youth groups and clubs or those with some spare time on their hands.
"You can volunteer for any length of time you wish, whether its 10 minutes or two hours - every second makes such a huge difference."

My Christmas carol beef
And, yes, I'm lovin' it. To the chagrin of some of my coworkers, I've tuned in to this station online while at work so that I can listen to the peaceful sounds of Christmas ALL DAY.
It helps calm me, yo. (And, for that, everyone around me should be thankful.)
But I do have one beef. That teeny-bopper-like song titled "Last Christmas".
Seriously, what is that?? It has nothing to do with Christmas or winter or snow..... or anything remotely related to the holiday season. It's merely a song about getting your heart broken, and it just happened to occur last Christmas. Bleh.
To make matters worse, there are THREE different versions being played on the radio these days, so I can't go more than an hour or so without hearing it.
I blame you for this, Wham.

You have unleashed the rage in me. In fact, I kvetched about this to Steve on Grievences day. Did he tell you about it? We created a new holiday, every December 23rd, where we air our grievences. Very liberating.ReplyDelete
Anyways, we both kvetched about the song as we heard it on the radio again. It makes me furious to hear it over..and over...and over again. The fact that the GLEE show did it means we were bound to hear it 1000 times. But I HATE IT. HATE HATE HATE IT.
I mean give me a break WHAM. That is not a Christmas song. It has nothing to do with anything. In fact, the only reason why it's a christmas song is because it says "last christmas". But that's it...I could put in "last hannakkah" or "last ramadan" or "last kwanzaa" or "last birthday" or "last saturday" and it would fit.
Songs like that make me so mad. >:(

Helen Hutton instructed Machins Solicitors to seek compensation from Day, who acted for her in 2004.
The claim, which was issued by Machins partner Robert Bedford, says that Day was in breach of contract and acted negligently, allegedly causing Hutton to undersettle in her divorce.
Hutton says she was left with less than a quarter of her husband's £220,000 annual salary when the settlement was reached.
She claims she was rushed into agreeing to the draft settlement after Day was allegedly late for court.
The agreement, the claim states, was "drafted and agreed late in the afternoon when the claimant was likely to be exhausted by the court process in light of her condition". At the time Hutton was recovering from a knee operation and was taking painkillers.
At no point did Day highlight the concerns of the presiding judge about the level of the agreement, the claim says, and neither did Day arrange for the court date to be adjourned.
The claim was issued to Day's lawyers at Thomson Snell & Passmore.

It looks ok on her. I think she would look great with brown hair.
i dont like her anymore ush:
I like it, but she should do a more chocolate brown color imo.
I agree...its a bit too dark. Im not a big fan. ( of the hair or HER!!)
That poor girl is sooo confused...
MUCH prettier than blonde.
Her hair is going to fall out soon......
I think her hair is going to break off in clumps. This is her 3rd recent change-hair can only take so much!!!
Ugh too dark but frankly all I can think is that skirt is really short and I hope she is wearing undies!
Is she pining for Justin and trying to follow in Cameron's footsteps?
I like it.
Where is her stylist!
i think it looks alright just alright.

I seem to have a huge surge in visitors, specifically searching for webcams covering the areas affected by the recent flooding.
For some reason www.ChrisMerriman.com is #1 on Google for both webcam glos tewksbury and tewksbury flooding webcam .
As I don't actually have any links to these sorts of webcams, I thought I would find a couple. As it is currently dark in Britain, I can not tell how useful the following cameras are, but unlike a few others I found, they do appear to be updated very often. The first is Nailsworth Weather Webcam, and the second is a Morten-in-Marsh webcam.
The only Tewksbury (England) webcams I could find had not been updated in days, in one case, not since May!
Anyway, for those people who arrive at this site looking for flooding pictures, check below, for those looking for non-static images, check the links above.

Gushing scouting reports heralded him. In his first spring training, he sent pitches impossible distances. The balls he hit battered a Coca-Cola truck in the parking lot and broke an assistant GM's window.
In his first major league at-bat, he lined a 2-0 fastball from Carlos Zambrano deep -- 414 feet deep -- over the right-center wall at Turner Field. He made the All-Star team as a 20-year-old. Surely, more laurels would follow. It was more than just the start to a career. It was a creation myth in the making.
Almost a year-and-a-half after that first home run, however, much of the shine has come off Jason Heyward.
Last season, Heyward ranked fourth in the National League in on-base percentage and authored an impressive WAR of 5.1. In 2011, he's cratered: a batting line of .220/.313/.393 and just 12 home runs in 355 plate appearances.
Probe deeper and things are similarly grim. Heyward is trending in the wrong direction when it comes to line-drive percentage (17.8 percent in 2010 to 13.9 percent in 2011), infield pop-ups (8.4 percent to 24.7 percent) and batting average on balls in play (.335 to .245). In the case of his declining BABIP, there's almost certainly some bad luck involved, but the remaining indicators are more troubling.


text: Posted October 17, 2016 · Report post I am hoping to have a discussion with an attorney that has experience with the Uniform Commercial Code, specifically Article 2. I am an online reseller and currently enjoy really good success with a pretty significant platform, not Amazon or Ebay. They have recently made drastic changes to their refund policy that completely eliminates the sellers' input or decision making process. It's important to note that the sellers are 100% owners of all the merchandise, as this site only provides the platform to sell it on in which they collect a commission for their efforts. The issue is these decisions are based on zero merit from the consumer and are often given regardless if the reasoning is valid. There is no regard to other legal issues regarding returns as far as potential health concerns for certain products. The site has a seller's forum that we are allowed to ask questions or vent but as many corporations, when you start questioning them directly there is immediate retaliation. When this decision was first being tested as they put it, a seller who seemed to have knowledge with the UCC, posted a copy of Article 2 in the response and was stating that the site had no legal right to make decisions on returns of products that they did not control. It's clear that this seller is not an attorney but clearly had experience in at least studying this article, as she explained her position very professionally and refrained from "name calling" or other tactics that suggest it's just hot air. As I stated, I am hoping to have a real conversation with an attorney with experience in this arena. I am NOT simply wanting advice, if there is something here and needs attention drawn to it, I am all for taking what legal steps are necessary. At the very least I would love to hire an attorney to draft a C&D letter, if there is something here. I also doubt that it would be very difficult to bring other sellers into the complaint and turn it into something along the lines of Class Action. I will not disclose the company name on here as I will discuss that with the attorney I decide to work with. I can say this about them. In 2015 it was estimated they were generating as much 50mm in monthly revenues. They are a US based company and were formed in 2011. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK then, its been months since I did any of my stories. But I really like Princess Ressurection and I wanted to make a story about this. I was happy they made a section for it. Most of this plot still takes place during the series, way before the zombies and before the trial. Give me a break ok, I still have writers block ok and the opening is short so don't blame me. I hope you enjoy this fic "Princess Festival"
Authoress' notes: I do not own Princess Ressurection, if I did monkeys would speak English.
No flames ok, just reviews
Princess Festival
"Prologue- Opening"
(Cue Blood Queen Opening then ends to credits)
Hiro looked at the clock and back at the school board as he waiting for class to be over.
'My guess is that when I get home I will have to do errands for Sawawa as usual, or Riza dragging me off, or probably Hime making me do things' he thought as he remembered that as he got home the girls would pull him everywhere.
'When Hime came into my life, she revived me and I have to help her survive in order for me to live'he sighed at the memory of Hime coming into his life and chaos would happen to her, then it would be over almost like it didn't happen.
Hiro snapped out his thoughts when he heard the bell ring, all students began to leave the classroom.
"Don't forget students the whole school is planning a festival next week, the school wants every student to participate in this" the teacher said and made Hiro slightly confused.
"A festival?" he said to himself as he left for home.
"It's not common for a school to have a festival" he said as he came close to the mansion, current home of Hiro, Sawawa, and their mistress Hime.
"Finally home" he said as he opened the door believing to be at peace, "Hiro!" said a loud voice and he winced knowing his peace didn't last long.
A girl holding a helmet appeared behind the door, she had short red hair, golden eyes, wearing a short black top, and brown pants. Hiro knew better she was Riza Wildman, a half-werewolf girl and younger sister of Lobo Wildman who was killed by Hime, but his true killer was out there and she would stop at nothing to avenge his death.
"Hiro about time you got back come with me" she said as she grabbed his arm.
"What, Riza I just got back?!" he said at this as he practically being dragged away.
"Where are you going Hiro?" said a feminine voice that made Hiro turn around.
It was a young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a black dress, with fingerless gloves, boots and silver tiara. What made her stand out were her unnatural red eyes with tiny black slits. Next to her looked like a little girl wearing a maid outfit, but Hiro and Hime knew better. This is Flandre, Hime's android and bodyguard.
"Remember Hiro, you are my blood warrior and your suppose to protect your master" she said, Flandre nodded to this and added "Huga."
'I just got home and now I get caught up with this' he thought as he heard another voice.
"Hiro good thing your home I want to go out for me and get some things for dinner" said a voice that Hiro knew and turned to his left. It was his sister Sawawa, it made him wonder why she was so oblivious to the danger and bizarre things that happen around him.
"Hiro!!!" all the girls shouted at once to get his attention, he couldn't take it anymore and passed out from being overwhelmed.
Unknowing to anyone, something was watching them from the windows and observed them with its glowing red eyes.
Authoress' notes: I don't own Princess Ressurection
I know its short, but I did my best with this first opening prologue. The next chapter will come later, just give me some time to think about it. Here's a hint for the next chapter.
"A school festival huh?" Hime said with thought in her voice and looked at Hiro. He wondered what she was thinking about, but as soon it felt like eternity she smiled. Scence changes to the school grounds with a lone figure in the shadows.
That's it for the preview of the next chapter, some of that stuff may not be in order, but I'll work it out.
Remember no flames just reviews.

Japanese smartphone users could be making themselves vulnerable to the threat of cybercrime, by failing to take simple security precautions while on-the-go. According to the findings from the ESET Japan Cyber-Savviness Report 2016, smartphone users in Japan being some of the most knowledgeable in Asia-Pacific when it comes to cybersecurity, this does not necessarily lead to safer online behavior.
The survey highlighted that while most smartphone users in Japan know they should take security measures like regularly updating their operating system (75%), only installing apps from trusted sources (67%), and changing passwords regularly (60%), very few actually follow these best practices.
Results showed that over half of all Japanese smartphone users (56.3%) believe that a PC is more likely to be hacked as compared to a mobile device, which explains why so few respondents in Japan proactively download security solutions onto their smartphones. Results highlighted that only a tiny 22 percent of Japanese respondents use credible paid-for security solutions to protect their smartphone, and only 35 percent use free antivirus software.
"Japan is known to be one of the most advanced consumer technology markets in Asia-Pacific, yet there is still a mismatch between what the smartphone users in Japan know they 'should do' versus what they 'actually do'. It's a myth that PCs and laptops are more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals than mobile devices. Users should start to recognise that their smartphones are like mini computers that are just as powerful as PCs, and in most cases store highly sensitive information that is extremely valuable to cybercriminals," said Lukas Raska, COO Asia-Pacific, at ESET.
Mr Raska adds, "It takes small steps to making sure you have security software in place to protect against attacks or keeping your passwords regularly updated would make a huge difference when it comes to staying safe online."
ESET polled 1,033 respondents in Japan to gain insights into the attitudes, knowledge and user behaviour there when it comes to cybersecurity. The study showed that while users in Japan are knowledgeable about cybersecurity and take few risks online, they still have some way to go in ensuring that they're adequately protected from online threats. Cyber-savviness is based on factors such as users' knowledge or ability to understand activities that are likely to make them vulnerable online, risky behaviours while surfing the web, and the proactive steps they can take to protect themselves online.

The state of Wisconsin is grounding its children, taking away their dessert and packing on extra chores. The punishment probably belongs to the kid next door, and it comes with a bitter message, 'this is good for you.'
The adolescents of the Badger State are taking a lashing from their newly elected governor, Scott Walker, and the state Assembly, and the bargaining rights of public sector employees are reaching their final minutes. The calls from the state's leading Republicans contain valid logic but have critics begging for more transparency.
"The battle is about our commitment to the future," Walker told the Wisconsin Manufacturing and Commerce trade group on Feb. 23. "A commitment so that my children and your children and children all across this state aren't saddled with the burden of excessive debt and out-of-control spending that this past generation just passed on to today's generation."
Walker's proposal would curb unions for public workers; a move that he claimed would provide certainty for future finances and would alleviate some of the burdens attached to higher health and pension costs. By the way, those increased costs are also courtesy of Papa Walker.
His logic is to push the costs of these benefits off the state and on to the workers and, as an unfortunate casualty, to cost those very workers their right to unionization. In other words, the judge of an eternal game of tug-of-war between employers and employees just shot labor in the knee and asked business if another wound was necessary.
This would be fine 200 years ago, but the history of power in this game has evolved to favor employees, and rulings by the judicial system have consistently defended unions so long as their actions and purposes were not criminal in nature.
In 1806, the Philadelphia Mayor's Court found an organized group of shoemakers guilty of conspiring in a criminal fashion and fined each defendant one week's wage. The criminals received their lovely title after striking for higher wages, and the court set the precedent that picketing unions were illegal conspirators. This case, Commonwealth v. Pullis, is recognized as the first recorded American labor relations issue resolved in a courtroom.
Nearly 40 years later, in 1842, the Supreme Court of Massachusetts reversed the Pullis precedent and claimed that unions and their bargaining practices were not criminal or illegal, unless their actions or purposes were criminal. The discussion on this subject has since evolved into a craft of wordsmiths and clever ideologists, answering the question of 'what is criminal?' in the most preposterous of ways.
This discussion, however, has turned moot in America's Dairyland; the state with the one-word motto, "Forward," is marching toward a one-sided relationship, and daddy-dearest wants to enforce this power legislatively.
Unfortunately, federal written law does not protect unionized public labor—that is left up to the individual state which, in this instance, is the particular issue up for debate.. The National Labor Relations Board, established by the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, was formed to protect the interests of employers and employees, and to mediate potential instances of discrimination. However, the National Labor Relations Act explicitly declares government bodies as not being covered under the term "employer." Thus, the working class, bargain-refused state employees of Wisconsin are without written federal support.
Walker, at the trade group meeting, revealed who he thought the actual warriors were in this battle: his administration and labor leaders, many of whom hail from other states.
"This is a battle with big unions," Walker said. "[They] are trying to come in and dominate this debate from out of this state because it's not about their workers money it's about their money."
It sounds like little Timmy just got a mouthful of soap because the neighbor's brat said a foul word. But there may be more to the story than just punishment being served to the wrong customer. James Kelleher of Reuters reported on Feb. 23 that some of Walker's critics claimed he took campaign donations in 2010 from out-of-state, anti-bargaining rights conservative groups. It turns out the PTA is pressuring Papa Walker to lay the smack down on little Timmy.
The immediate future of Wisconsin's public labor appears tumultuous, and there is a growing fear that poor parenting will become contagious around the U.S. neighborhood, but, in the long-term, state employee's rights will almost certainly be rescued—the nature of politics in a quasi-democratic system deem it so.
Hopefully the Wisconsinites can tough it out, continue to demonstrate their displeasure with daddy dictator and preserve through adversity. The majority of the country, the history of labor relations and the future of labor laws are almost certainly in your corner, waiting to call child services.

Belgian lawmakers clash over child euthanasia bill
Credit: The Associated Press
BRUSSELS — Belgian lawmakers clashed sharply on Wednesday over whether to grant terminally ill children the right to ask to die, a legal option already possessed by the country's adults.
The issue is pitting backers who see it as a question of mercy against opponents who claim the law is rushed, flawed and lacking medical rationale. Despite the spirited debate in the House of Representatives, the bill is widely expected to pass on Thursday.

The Mole Sisters and Blue Egg
The Mole Sisters are looking for something special. They venture into a hollow tree and follow a long staircase up, up, up. The Sisters go out on a limb to play in a bird's nest and then back down again. When they spy a beautiful blue egg, they know they have found a new treasure.
The Mole Sisters make the most out of each day. Full of fun, imagination, and quiet confidence, these are small creatures with very big hearts. Their unfaltering optimism is contagious, bringing smiles to faces everywhere.
With bright, lush colored-pencil artwork, Roslyn Schwartz conveys the Mole Sisters' love for life with a minimum of text that is easy to follow for toddlers and preschoolers.
Praise for The Mole Sisters
"Always upbeat and jolly, the characters are gentle companions. The small format is perfect for little hands."(School Library Journal)
"Charming, whimsical, and as refreshing as cool water on a hot day...highly recommended for small children and depressed adults."(Canadian Book Review Annual)
"The moles' giddy cheer carries readers along in the quirky plots. This light, playful pair of books provides sunny company."(Publishers Weekly)
"Let's just say these books delight from start to finish."(The Globe and Mail)
"Adults should keep these around instead of worry balls: They are immensely good for the soul."(The Ottawa Citizen)

End of Shutdown Doesn't Boost Consumers' Moods
U.S. consumers unexpectedly turned less optimistic about the economy in early November, according to data released Friday. The drop came despite the end of the government shutdown plus stronger October job creation may be lifting sentiment.
The Thomson-Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary November sentiment index fell to 72.0, according to an economist who has seen the numbers. It was the lowest reading since December 2011.
The government shutdown and debt-ceiling fight had pulled the index to an end-October reading of 73.2, which was down dramatically from an end-September level of 77.5.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expected the early November index to increase to 74.4.

By reading the title "Sexual harassment" you might be wondering what am I going to write.
No, I did not paid to be molested this time, but I had been molested by an uncle in the sauna room today.
Don't laugh, it's not funny okay. Do you laugh at your friend is she got raped by some guy? Okay maybe that's different case. But this, is my case.
I went to the gym as usual but it was slightly late because I had to settle something for my boss. I reach the gym around 8.30 pm and I finish my workout around 10 pm.
So I went into the sauna room after I took a quick and hot shower. The room was empty and it was darker than usual due to one of the light sources were not functioning.
As usual, I like to take off the bath towel and cover my private part with only the hand towel. But of course I always do it in a way that no one can see the important part.
Just as I was enjoying the heat and my sweat started dropping like running water, one uncle seemed to be in his 40's came in.
The seats in the sauna room forms an L shape. It has two levels, the upper deck and the lower deck. I was sitting at the upper deck at the middle of the L shape. This uncle came in and sit at the opposite of the lower deck at my right hand side.
At his position, his eye sight is at the same level of my… ehem… you know what. I tried to look at him in his face, but he didn't care and he kept staring at my… you know what.
"Oh no… not again," I told myself because this is not the first time people stalk at me in the sauna.
He broke the ice by asking "do you want to pour more water?"
I looked at him and said, "It's ok if you want to, I don't mind."
"Oh I was just asking."
"So how long you've been working out at the gym?"
"Around one year."
"Wah not bad. You can have such a nice body in one year."
"No lah. There are still a lot to improve."
"You stay somewhere nearby? Why so late still come to the gym?"
"Yeah, stay somewhere in Puchong. I had something to do that's why I was late."
"Oh… you come here alone ar?"
"Yeah, I'm alone. Used to join together with a few friends but now left only me."
"Hahaha… it's like that one lah. But if you see your own results you will feel good."
While he was saying that, he stood up and walk to my left side.
"You have very nice arms," he said that while squeezing my left arm.
"No lah," I said.
"No really, you have nice chest too," he then pressed around my chest. I started to feel weird and uncomfortable.
While I was thinking what should I say or do to stop him, his hand already moved further down to my abdominal, "nice six-pack also, but if you can workout your lower abs, your six-pack would be more obvious."
Okay this is way too over. It had to stop. But it seemed like he still want to go further down, I quickly use my hand to block my, ehem… you know what, then only he let his hand off me.
"Oh you feel itchy huh."
I look at him and didn't say anything.
"I ar… I'm going out to have a drink," he went out leaving me alone in the sauna.
Without any further hesitation, I quickly grabbed my bath towel and left the sauna room as soon as possible.
Never thought that something like this would happen. My spontaneous reaction database do not have the record for countering this situation.
Now I know. I would know what to do next time.

In order not to attract these kind of monster… you hv 2 options.
Since its man only spa facility, you might as well take off and being naked; or put towel over like after u took a shower. Never never try to be funny cover only private part. I been to china spa b4, there are no door/curtain on each shower rooms. Nothing to be shy about, you have 1, I also have 1.
Imagine if you see a gal naked on beach without shy or a mad naked gal running around, you will not staring at her. You only will never try to stop peep/stare gals wear sexy.

CCTV Surveillance
To ensure a safe, secure and healthy learning environment for the students, the entire college campus has been brought under CCTV surveillance. There are different cameras, which have been strategically placed to keep track of major entrances and exits. The CCTV cameras mainly cover the college entrance, hostel premises, the interior of library and administration block, and some other points of concentrated activity. While the CCTV surveillance helps the collage administration to ensure discipline by monitoring student activity, it also enables the college to keep a check on the unauthorized outsiders and prevent their entry into the college. Installing of CCTV cameras is a step towards fulfilling the promise, made in the college prospectus, of providing secure and peaceful atmosphere to every student. This has seen to boost the confidence of the girl students and their guardians/parents as well.

That's the feeling of your period leaking! It's always a great idea to wear a panty liner with your tampon just in case to catch leaks.
If you have a very heavy flow and only have a regular tampon, then you may want to wear a heavy absorbency panty liner or even a pad instead. Leaks are usually heavier when you have a heavy flow. Wearing a tampon is if you think you will be in a situation where you will not get the opportunity to change your tampon such as a long hike, a long exam, or meeting.
Every time you use the toilet, give your tampon string a light tug. If the tampon seems to move or slide out easily then that means the tampon is fully saturated and ready to be changed!
Usually this is a sign that you've just caught your tampon before it leaks! Give the string a tug and you should find that it's ready to be changed :).
Sometimes you may find that the tampon isn't ready to be changed or that the tampon isn't fully saturated yet. Your tampon may look like it's only absorbed period on one side and then started to leak out. If this is the case, it's ready to be changed anyways since it's already leaking.
Maybe you've decided to wear your super hot white pants on a heavy flow and really don't want to risk a leak ;). Whatever the case may be, just check your tampon every hour or every chance you get to use the bathroom.
Using tampons puts you at risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). The following is a list of TSS symptoms but only one or two symptoms may occur:
- Sudden fever (usually 102°F or more)
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Red rash that looks like sunburn on any part of your body
- Dizziness or feeling faint when standing upUsing tampons puts you at risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). These are TSS symptoms but only one or two symptoms may occur.


text: Ok so heres the deal, I upgraded recently from 3.3u to 4.1u to get in on that sd menu. When I was on 3.3 everything worked fine. I had no problems whatsoever. I used the guide here http://www.mediafire.com/?xywqdgzmnnw to upgrade to 4.1. I used to use usbloader gx 792 i think it was. I can load active but then when it would get to any show me how video the game would hard lock with no sound. When I powered the wii back on. BOOM. Your system files have been corrupted. (bootmii to the rescue). So this happens every time right? Remember I had NO problems with this game on 3.3. So I update usbloadergx to whatever the latest channel version on the site is. I think 815 or 812 to fix some lockups with NSMBW. I was able to load Active just fine and even watch the show me how video so I said cool it works. I hit home and click wii menu and BAM. System files corrupted. AGAIN. Seriously Ive had to restore my nand like 8 times. None of the times I powered off or exited the game was any data saving, you know accessing system do not power off kinda thing. Can anyone shed some light on why the hell this is happening? I would really appreciate it. This game actually has exercises my tubby ass can handle. Thanks, -Longbaugh.

Hungary Looks to Reassure Markets, Fitch Unimpressed
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday made further efforts to back away from his earlier adamant opinion on modifying Hungary's widely-criticized central bank law.
Markets welcomed the shift which allowed Hungarian assets to regain some of the strength lost during the earlier days of the week but this didn't stop Fitch Ratings from completing Hungary's hattrick of junk-rankings at major rating firms.
Mr. Orban met in the morning with central bank governor Andras Simor, Economy Minister Gyorgy Matolcsy, Tamas Fellegi, Hungary's lead negotiator in talks with the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, and chief of staff Mihaly Varga, to discuss economic issues and the country's bid to secure financial backing from the EU/IMF duo.

I would like to start off by saying that all humans were born aggressive and evil.
It's a bold statement i know but the reason we don't follow through with these emotions is because of the following 3 Things:
1. Self-control
2. Acceptable outlets
3. Proper role-models/ mentors
If a human being does go through with their aggression or evil intention, something went wrong with one of the above, or one was absent all-together.
It happens to all of us, some more then others. Now back to Gerard Jones article "Violent Media is Good For Kids"
I do agree with many things Jones writes about including "Identification with a rebellious, even destructive, hero helps children to push back against a modern culture that cultivates fear and teaches dependency"
This an example of an acceptable outlet. The key here is identifying with the hero, living through the character, using the character as an outlet; not imitating the actions themselves. Using these "destructive" heroes as role-models is where things may go wrong. Kings Solomon's Minds is a great example of an acceptable outlet for the "Big and Little boys who read it" according to the dedication page. There's a reason why a story revolving around violence is so popular with this audience. With the pent up anger/aggression we were all predisposed since we were born, finding an outlet is the healthiest answer for the human race. Jones will likely agree that transferring our aggression to the characters and violent events in the novel would be considered a healthy way to release anger and frustrations.
When parents argue for the opposing side or con-violent media for kids, they are afraid of the violent media having an influence on the child. Jones believes that this influence is mostly positive, while the parents argue that the few that do obtain a negative influence is enough to pollute our youth. Influence and having self-control over the influences around us is one of the most difficult skills acquired especially in our modern day society surrounded by pop culture. It is important that we educate the youth on ways to practice self-control early on before its too late. An excerpt on influence stated multiple times in the New Testament "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."
Pop culture enters us constantly, same goes for violent media for kids, but once you let these sources influence your actions let alone your thoughts, you have lost self control and it does happen to everyone especially children.
It's our duty as proper role models/mentors to educate our youth on using acceptable outlets for our aggression and show the importance of practicing self-control.
Welcome to the class blog of Ben Villarreal's Freshman English II course, The Rhetoric of Pop Culture! Here you'll find the thoughts, ideas, and burgeoning written work from our university English class about pop culture.

Handbook of Environmental and Resource Economics
Edited by Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh
Chapter 59: Physical Principles and Environmental Economic Analysis
M. Ruth
Matthias Ruth 1. Introduction Advancements in the physical sciences have significantly influenced the history of economic thought (Mirowski, 1989). The fathers of the marginalist revolution have been intrigued by the predictive capacity of physics, and have imitated physics through the development of analogies between economic and physical concepts and processes. Examples include the identification of pleasure, or utility, with energy (Edgeworth, 1881; Fisher, 1892), and comparisons of the equality of the ratios of marginal utility of two goods and their inverted trading ratio to the law of the lever (Jevons, 1970). Following these analogies, certain aspects of production, consumption and exchange were translated into functional forms that had previously been analysed in the physical and engineering sciences (Proops, 1985). With the general acceptance of physical concepts in economic theory came an application of mathematical tools developed in classical mechanics for the analysis of economic processes. More recently, physical principles have been revisited in an attempt to better understand the nature of economic production and consumption processes and to link these processes to changes in environmental quality (Georgescu-Roegen, 1971; Ayres, 1978; Daly and Umafia, 1981; Faber et al., 1987). These attempts have been spurred both by developments in the physical sciences and the growing dissatisfaction among economists with the treatment of natural resources and the environment in economic models (Boulding, 1981). The physical concepts on which much of recent analyses draw include the laws of conservation of mass and of energy, and the second law of thermodynamics. Each of those laws...

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH)–There is almost universal agreement at the state and local level that the state's infrastructure needs to be rebuilt. But the idea of imposing 'electronic highway tolls' to pay for it is running into a huge legislative traffic jam.
The Governor says state lawmakers must pass the so-called 'lock box' amendment to make sure all the money raised for transportation goes to transportation. But getting from 'here to there' is proving a tough journey.
Members of the legislature's Transportation Committee have about a hundred proposed laws before them. From increasing fines for texting while driving and online license renewals, to imposing those controversial electronic tolls on the interstate highways. Because the tolling is so controversial and there are so many plans, the committee has decided to have one big hearing next month
just on the tolling question.
Shoreline State Senator Ted Kennedy Jr. (D-Branford) says the time is right to talk about tolls. "We have millions of cars whizzing through Connecticut on a daily basis who don't pay anything in terms of our upkeep for our roads," he said.
One suggestion would place about 20 of these electronic tolling gantries on Interstate 95 between New Haven and the New York border so it would be almost impossible to drive around the tolls.
And Kennedy has authored a plan to impose what's called 'Congestion Pricing,' saying, "During peak travel times the tolls would be higher."
It is conceived as a way to decrease congestion on the interstates during peak travel times. Opponents see it as just an increased expense on the little guy.
"Guess who has to pay that? Not the CEO that can come and go when they want in a business around the congestion pricing time, but the person that has to show up at eight or eighty-thirty or nine o'clock," said Sen. Toni Boucher (R-Wilton).
Another idea would be to put so called 'border tolls' where the interstates start at the New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts border. This is a non-starter for lawmakers from the border areas.
"No one wants to do this from a border town perspective, of which I sit, so if it's just border town issue then, obviously I wouldn't support that," said Sen. Carlo Leone (D-Stamford).
In another idea, the gas tax would be gradually reduced as the electronic tolls were imposed. Added Boucher, "Do we believe that in this state? How much credibility does the public have that we're going to phase away a tax?"
And Senator Boucher is correct; the legislature does not have a good track record on promises to roll back taxes; like the income tax, the inheritance tax, the real estate conveyance tax, and the 20 percent surcharge on the business tax.
All of these taxes were said to 'temporary' when they were passed. So far, they have not.


text: "spine-tingling dynamism… the a cappella trio transformed Breakaway Records' quiet, coolly reserved temple of vinyl albums and prized soul-funk 45s, into a rough-and-tumble place of worship…"-SPIN"Simply put, "Understanding" is gospel like it's meant to be: Praise lifted skyward in song. Smith's towering voice, buoyed up by the harmonies of Taylor and Daniels, creates an indelible sound that is deeply human in its approach to the divine."–AM New YorkContinuing a journey that began eight years ago, Daptone Records is proud to announce the release of The Como Mamas' Get An Understanding, on February 5, 2013. The album is the follow-up to 2008's acclaimed Daptone gospel compilation Como Now: The Voices of Panola County, Mississippi. The Como Mamas, who have been singing together in church since they were children, are: Ester Mae Smith and sisters Angela Taylor and Della Daniels.Daptone Records has a track-record of bringing immensely-talented but previously lesser-known performers like Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley and Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens to a wider audience, and they have clearly come upon another revelatory vocal force in The Como Mamas. As label founder Gabriel Roth – who executive produced the album with label co-founder Neal Sugarman – explains, "Whether you're talking about hip-hop, country & western, blues or Mozart, all music tries to do the same basic thing: put feeling into sound. The Como Mamas do that just about as close to perfect as you can."Como Now and this latest Como-related release were both produced by sound recordist Michael Reilly, who first visited Como, Mississippi's Mt. Mariah Baptist Church in 2005.

Have you been thinking about checking out that HD radio that you keep hearing about? Well HD radio maker Radiosophy has got a deal that they hope will get you on the bandwagon.
Radiosophy is going to be releasing their new entry-level HD100 radio in May for $119.95. However, if you order one before June 30 you can get one for only $99.95. You'll get all of the benefits of HD radio and other features such as a line-in for your MP3 player, and "scan HD" so it only looks at the HD stations.
You won't get all of extra features that you'll find in some of the high-dollar HD radios out there, but you can't beat the sub-$100 price.

This page gives basic information on cancer in the workplace. We've also provided links to advice on how to support employees with a cancer diagnosis, details of legal duties and entitlements, and other helpful organisations.
Cancer now affects one in three people, and each year in the UK there are approximately 90,000 people of working age who receive a new cancer diagnosis.
Research shows that finding ways to support people with cancer is a worthwhile thing to do:
"People who have had treatment for cancer are as productive as people who have not had cancer – they take less time off work than other employees, and in general, perform well in the workplace." Shulz, P.
et al (2002),
Cancer Survivors – Work-related Issues, American Association of Occupational Health Nurses Journal.
back to top
The causes of cancer are varied and complex. Some can be attributed to lifestyle, others to genetic traits inherited from our parents, or to exposure to viruses, radiation and other hazardous substances. In many cases, a combination of factors will contribute to causing cancer.
In the workplace, exposure to certain chemicals and other agents, such as sources of ionising radiation and
asbestos, can cause cancers.
Employers must conduct a
risk assessment to identify and eliminate, or control risks to their employees from
hazardous substances.
The name of the cancer refers to where the first tumour occurs, e.g. breast cancer. The first occurrence of cancer is called a primary tumour.
If the cancer spreads from the initial site, the subsequent tumours are called metastases and could show up anywhere in the body having travelled through the blood or lymphatic systems.
When a cancer has metastasised to another part of the body, the tumour is called a secondary. For example, breast cancer may lead to secondary tumours in the liver. As the primary tumour was breast cancer, it is still called breast cancer even though the tumour is somewhere else.
The treatment of cancer varies and can consist of removing the primary tumour through surgery and possibly also killing off any stray cells around the area with radiotherapy.
Sometimes, chemotherapy is also suggested to reach cells that have moved to a different part of the body, but everyone is different. Chemotherapy is sometimes used as an initial treatment to shrink a tumour before surgery.
Different types of treatment include:
Sometimes it is difficult to talk about cancer to family, friend and colleagues.
Healthy Working Lives and Macmillan Cancer Support have produced
Cancer in the Workplace, a booklet offering useful guidance on the subject for employers.

An Inside Look At 1st Cross-State Online Gambling Deal
The deal, which is both a precedent-setting template for future partnerships and an invitation for other states to come on board, had to steer clear of violating federal and state laws involving taxes, compacts and more, while still creating a solid framework that could potentially last decades, attorneys involved in the negotiations said.
