Edith Cupper, a 25-year-old mum from Tonbridge, has to juggle a baby, studies and a mortgage while still looking after the piggy bank. She is studying for a maths degree with The Open University and hopes to one day train as a teacher.
She says: "I recently had my first child, Isaac. He's just turned one and likes to get himself into all sorts of mischief, but we have a great time together. In six years' time I'd like to be on a teacher's salary and have a mortgage on a full property."
Edith and her partner, Ben, who works as a teaching assistant, own a quarter of their semi-detached house on a part-buy, part-rent scheme with a housing association. Their mortgage is for £43,500.
She wants to prepare for Isaac's future by securing her finances while following her own career ambitions.
Case notes
Income: £14,000 from partner's earnings and child-related benefits
Savings: £1,000 in premium bonds, £2,000 in an ISA account
Mortgage: £43,500 fixed for three years at 6.5 per cent
Debts: None
Offering advice this week are independent financial advisers Danny Cox from Hargreaves Lansdown, Kevin Anderson from Budge and Company and Mel Kenny, from Radcliffe & Newlands.
Edith owns a quarter of her property at the moment, so to get a mortgage on the whole thing in six years is going to take a lot of work. "This is an admirable objective, but will require substantial savings," says Anderson. "Currently the maximum lending on a shared equity house is 85 per cent, so it will be necessary to start saving as soon as practically possible."
Edith has a fixed rate mortgage at 6.5 per cent for three years with Nationwide. Although she would like to change to a variable rate to get a better deal, Cox says the building society will not allow her to switch. There is also the possibility of remortgaging with another lender, but it might be risky and she's not keen on gambling.
Anderson says: "There will almost certainly be penalties for early repayment and these may be substantial and will almost certainly outweigh any savings in interest rate."
Anderson praises Edith's "very bold career choice" but says the next few years could be a struggle. He says: "In the long term this could turn out to be a life-changing decision, but it's time at the moment to batten down the hatches."
This means building up savings, and Edith has made a good start with ISAs and Premium Bonds. However, Kenny thinks she could get a better deal. He says: "She should make sure her savings work harder for her.
"While the cheques in the post give a great feel-good factor, Premium Bonds currently only give an average annual return of 1.5 per cent tax free." Instead, he suggests trying instant access cash ISAs, which can pay at least 3 per cent tax-free.
Cox also suggests increasing the family's disposable income, both by shopping around for better deals on utilities and considering a part-time job. She should also make sure she is receiving all the benefits she is entitled to.
These savings will come in handy when she studies for the PGCE teaching qualification in three years' time, although according to Anderson, she could also get a tax-free bursary or a maintenance grant from the Government.
Teaching is a great career choice, and if Edith makes it to the age of 68 in the profession she can look forward to a generous pension under the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), according to Kenny. "The TPS is a gold-plated final salary scheme providing the promise of a pension based on salary and years of service," he says. "Even if the scheme becomes less generous, there is nonetheless likely to be a strong subsidy in place to cater for her retirement needs."
It's not easy thinking of the worst-case scenario, but Edith and Ben have both been smart to take out life insurance, which should help take care of Isaac should anything happen to them. Kenny says they should check it is sufficient and consider lump sum critical illness cover.
He adds: "Her partner should also consider income protection to protect his monthly income in the event of long-term illness or incapacity that prevents him from working."
As a matter of urgency, however, Edith needs to make a will stipulating what will happen to the estate and Isaac. Cox says: "A will ensures that the right people benefit from the estate if she dies, and, importantly, makes her wishes clear with respect to Isaac's guardianship."
Kenny adds: "[Without a will] should they not survive their son's dependency, then aside of having to go through the rigmarole of intestacy, the deceased's assets not held jointly would be placed into a difficult-to-access statutory trust for their son. A will can ensure assets are either directly passed to the survivor or held in a privately arranged trust."

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) — A 16-year-old high school student in North Carolina is being charged with murder in the dragging death of another teenager.
Elizabeth City deputies say the student assaulted James Edward Holley Jr., pushed him out of a car and then drove away with the 17-year-old Holley hanging on the outside of the car by a seat belt. The car eventually crashed into a ditch.
The Daily Advance of Elizabeth City reported (http://bit.ly/vyW0Ry ) Tuesday that the teen has been charged with first-degree murder.
Sheriff Randy Cartwright says deputies received a call just before 5 p.m. Sunday about a traffic accident southwest of Elizabeth City, which is in the northeast part of the state.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
There is a point in every budgeting lifecycle where the CIO squirms when asked the question, "How much storage will we need going forward?"
At this point, the CIO has two options: 1) Make a guess or 2) Admit that the current information management systems can't really provide a good answer to that question.
Rarely can a CIO actually answer this question based on a thorough understanding of how much data is being created, how much data must be kept in fast forms of storage, how rapidly each type of data must be archived, and the rate at which both fast and slower forms of storage are growing.
CEOs and CFOs should stop accepting incomplete or partially realized information management processes nd start insisting that these capabilities be improved so that data can be treated as an asset, not just as a liability, a center of value and profit, not a cost center.
What Does Bad Information Management Look Like?
Clear evidence of bad information management is the storage surprise. "Oops, we needed to buy a whole bunch of storage that was not planned for." Another form of evidence is not having access to data that is just not that old. "Why do we only have one year's worth of this data at the ready?" If you don't know what data you have and cannot search your data in a convenient way, it is likely your information management capabilities need work.
Bad information management means none of these questions has a clear answer:
- What different types of data are we storing?
- What can each type of data tell us?
- Which types create the most value?
- What types of data are archived?
- How do we know what is archived?
- How can we restore data quickly?
- What type of data restoration should be self service?
- How can we support mobile use of content and data?
- How can we move and replicate data to support different uses?
What Does Good Information Management Look Like?
With a good information management system, there is a clear answer to all the questions just posed, which also means there is a well-defined process for managing data as an asset.
But to really master your data, you need a system built to encompass a wide range of requirements in an integrated manner. Here are the capabilities that a top-notch information management system should provide.
Understanding data. Profiling data to understand what type it is and understanding the meaning of the data are key areas of differentiation for information management systems. The best systems can tell you a huge amount about what your data says based on trainable machine learning. To start managing data, it is vital to know what data you have.
Protecting and migrating data through its lifecycle. Perhaps the most fundamental information management task is making sure that data is protected and will not be lost due to a technology failure or catastrophic event. This protection must be applied to active data but also to data as it moves through various stages of archiving. This capability is vital to meet regulatory and legal requirements.
Scaling in an elegant way through the lifecycle. The amount of data in both databases and filesystems is growing in unpredictable ways. A good information management system will have a plan for handling the scale of all types of data as it moves through each stage of the lifecycle.
Managing and exploiting heterogeneous storage devices. When you buy a company and find a bunch of creaky old tape drives used for archiving, a good information management system will be able to incorporate them until they are ready for retirement. But if you find a state of the art SAN, then the system should be able to order up snapshots and track what is contained in each.
Removing duplication. It turns out that in almost all large repositories of information there is substantial duplication at many different levels. Physical storage requirements can be cut by 50 percent or more with a powerful deduplication technology.
Implementing sophisticated automation, policies, and workflows. A good information management system is able to determine the value of different types of information so that only important information is archived. Many classes of information such as operating system files should never become part of a company's permanent archive.

Don't be fooled by the page count, it's actually a two-stanza poem. That said, it's rather nice, as poems go.
Very nice. A headlong rush through the desert that pulls the reader right along with it. Action, suspense, intrigue, and gorgeous descriptions more than make up for the (to my mind) slightly kitschy romance.
About halfway through the lovely audiobook, and enjoying every minute. Highly recommended.

I made the kids and I pancakes for breakfast this morning. Isabella kept getting distracted and I kept reminding her to eat.
At one point when I told her to eat she replied, "But my pancakes are starving and they want to eat their own selves."
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

It can be tough, in these mid-crunch days, to sympathise with actors when they talk about how hard and frightening their work is. Ethan Hawke comments in the program notes for The Bridge Project:
What if it doesn't work? What if it's terrible and we have to take them around the world? I thought, that would be really awful! Now we've got to fly to Singapore, now to Madrid.
It's a hard-knock life when you're condemned to spend three years on six of the world's great plays, touring the world with film stars, stage greats, and an Oscar winning director in a company made up half of British and half of American actors. The first season, now at the Old Vic, consists of The Winter's Tale and The Cherry Orchard running in repertory.
Simon Russell Beale delivers a flawless performance as Leontes, King of Sicilia, in The Winter's Tale. The audience is made complicit in the jealous King's controlled descent into madness and tyranny over his Queen, Hermione, by clever lighting and Russell Beale's masterful handling of Leontes' increasingly tortured soliloquies. Sinead Cusack plays the ever faithful Paulina with just the right blend of shrewishness and compassion while Rebecca Hall is a moving, statuesque Hermione – no pun intended.
Sam Mendes' Sicilia is an elegant, buttoned-up British sort of place and it is striking that, in such a well-ordered society, there is no effective check or balance upon Leontes' crazed manipulation of his own legal system. It is only when the King resorts to blasphemy during the trial of Hermione that the lightning finally falls. When the action switches to Bohemia, in the third act, we find ourselves in a loose version of the American Midwest, complete with Fourth of July parade. This choice allows Mendes to make full use of his dual-nationality cast and none more so than Ethan Hawke as the rogue Autolycus.
Hawke turns the impenetrable peddler, with his dense dialogue full of obsolete words and images, into a quixotic Dylanesque minstrel with whom it is impossible not to sympathise: it is a remarkable rendering of an almost unplayable part. Tobias Segal does well with the clownish Young Shepherd, and Morven Christie makes the most of Perdita, Leontes' long-lost daughter.
The return to Sicilia for the mass reconciliation is well-handled and, in keeping with the genre-defying nature of the play, the audience remains in doubt until the very end over who will live happily ever after.
The Cherry Orchard takes place in the hopelessly mortgaged house and grounds of Ranevskaya, a widow of a certain age and her own worst enemy, played with consummate skill and control by Sinead Cusack, who was so keen to be in the company that she wrote directly to Mendes. Ranevskaya and her peers cannot accept that they have been swallowed up both by history and their debts: they continue to spend money like water in the vain hope that 'something will turn up' until the very day their precious orchard is purchased for development by their neighbour and would-be friend, the long-suffering Lopakhin (Simon Russell Beale).
The demands of a double bill – both plays are performed on Saturdays – have implications on the set designs. The Cherry Orchard is staged with little more than rehearsal furniture and, notwithstanding Tom Stoppard's lively translation and some atmospheric lighting, at times the Old Vic stage seems on the empty side.
There is no real 'lead' character in the play, which makes it well-suited to a strong ensemble. Rebecca Hall is excellent as the much put-upon Varya, the sensible one of Ranevskaya's three daughters. Driven to distraction by her family's fecklessness, Hall's Varya avoids taking refuge in querulous caricature, and it is truly agonising when Lopakhin fails to propose to her. Richard Easton gives a moving, comic performance as the faithful Firs, left alone to die in the locked house after devoting his whole life to the family.
Mendes makes much of the dislocation between the generations in the play, and the happy ending, such as it is, belongs to the youngest daughter, Anya (Morven Christie), and Trofimov, the eternal student (Ethan Hawke), who are united by their mutual desire to be up and doing. For them the end of the estate seems to promise opportunity and freedom from the fate of endlessly repeating the same old mistakes.
Nostalgia and the passage of time are the twin foci of this first Bridge season: as the audience gathers for both productions, the back wall of the stage is adorned with this quotation from Shakespeare's Richard II: 'O, call back yesterday, bid time return.' Taken together or separately, these two plays are both excellent blends of some of the finest theatrical talent around.
Next season the company turns its attention to As You Like It and Three Sisters. No need to look for a day job just yet then, Ethan – although the bar has been set pretty high…what if it doesn't work next time around? Seems unlikely.
The Bridge Project productions are playing in repertory at the Old Vic until 15th August.

Earlier this month there was an amazing groundswell of opposition to SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. I participated in a 1-day anticensorship campaign designed to bring awareness to the proposed law, as did thousands of others around the country. It has been reported that this groundswell of opposition caught many in Congress by surprise.
In an interesting turn of events, SOPA's parent — the PROTECT-IP Act in the U.S. Senate — may come up for vote on the Senate floor this week. (PROTECT-IP, in case you are wondering, is an acronym for "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011".) This bill still contains many of the same troublesome definitions and technical issues of SOPA, and it deserves to be blocked as well. Senator Wyden of Oregon submitted a statement to the U.S. House hearing on SOPA warns of severe repercussions to a free and open internet if SOPA and PROTECT-IP were passed, and he has said he will filibuster an attempt to pass this in the Senate.
You, too, can use the form on the Stop Censorship website to ask Senator Wyden to read aloud your name as part of the filibuster act and/or have your name submitted into the official Congressional Record. (I've done this myself and have tweeted about it.) I have also used the Contact Congress feature of OpenCongress to register my opposition with my U.S. Senators, even though one is a co-sponsor of the legislation.
Why I Oppose PROTECT-IP Act and SOPA
These reasons for opposing the PROTECT-IP Act are the same as what I listed in my earlier post on SOPA. Two overriding reasons. First, I think the content creation industry already has enough tools in their arsenal for it to go after legitimate infringements of their rights. That aside, there is a more fundamental reason: this law meddles with the foundational structures of the internet (the Domain Name System in particular), and that can have unexpected consequences. The Cybersecurity in the Balance: Weighing the Risks of the PROTECT IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act paper from the Brookings Institution goes into more detail about the latter reason. This reasoning is also why I oppose interception proxy servers (such as those that filter or modify web page content) — they break the net. The power of the internet has been — and should continue to be — the transparent, end-to-end nature of the net that enables and promotes creative innovation at the edges of the network. PROTECT-IP and SOPA would add complexity and cloudiness to the core of the internet.
This is a tough battle, though. OpenCongress has a blog post from last week about Why SOPA and PROTECT-IP Are So Hard to Kill that points to a graphic from the end of a Politico article where writer Jennifer Martinez outlines the careful lobbying and spending by the film, music and TV industries over the past few years to grease the wheels for their goals behind SOPA and PROTECT-IP. These are strong forces behind the passage. I hope the voices of Americans are enough to cause senators to back off passage. If you feel the same way I do, I encourage you to let your state's senators know of our opinion.

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

U.K. Stocks Fall as Passenger Jet Shot Down Over Ukraine
Anna HirtensteinU.K. stocks fell the most in a week as the U.S. and the European Union imposed additional sanctions on Russia and a Malaysian passenger jet was shot down in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
BP Plc lost 1.9 percent after the U.S. Treasury Department stopped OAO Rosneft, which is part owned by Europe's third-largest oil producer, from accessing America's capital markets. Mothercare Plc plunged 8.8 percent after the retailer said sales dropped in its domestic market. ITV Plc jumped the most in a year and a half after cable TV company Liberty Global Plc bought a minority stake in the commercial broadcaster.
The FTSE 100 Index slipped 46.35 points, or 0.7 percent, to 6,738.32 at the close in London, erasing its gains so far this month. The FTSE All-Share Index declined 0.6 percent today, while Ireland's ISEQ Index fell 0.5 percent.
"With the recent introduction of broad sectoral sanctions by both the U.S. and the EU, the interests of the Russian elite are now directly threatened," Michael Ingram, a market strategist at BGC Brokers LP in London, wrote in an e-mail. "BP, through it's stake in Rosneft, is clearly in the firing line now."
The U.S. and the European Union set more aggressive sanctions on Russian companies because of the Kremlin's continued support for separatists in eastern Ukraine. The measures affect Rosneft, natural-gas producer OAO Novatek, OAO Gazprombank and eight defense companies. The EU had a trade deficit of more than $120 billion with Russia last year, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Shot Down
U.K. equities extended their decline as a Ukrainian Interior Ministry official said that pro-Russian separatists shot down the passenger jet, killing 280 passengers and 15 crew. The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said it did not attack the airplane. The Boeing 777 crashed near the town of Torez in eastern Ukraine, according to the ministry official.
BP fell 1.9 percent to 496.8 pence for the biggest drag on the FTSE 100. The energy company owns almost 20 percent of Russia's Rosneft.
Separately, a U.S. judge said a trial in November 2015 will hear the state of Alabama's claim for lost tax revenue and compensation following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster. The blowout of the well operated by BP remains the world's largest accidental oil spill.
Mothercare slumped 8.8 percent to 255 pence, the biggest decline on the FTSE All-Share index. The retailer of products for babies and parents said that sales dropped 1.2 percent in its home market after it reduced discounting.
Sports Direct
Sports Direct International Plc declined 2.2 percent to 697.5 pence after reporting full-year pretax profit that missed analysts' estimates. The sporting-goods retailer posted income of 249.3 million pounds ($426.3 million), less than the 254.3 million-pound median estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Barclays Plc fell 2.7 percent to 210.2 pence after people with knowledge of the matter said a U.S. Senate committee will hold a hearing next week into products the bank sold to a hedge fund. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will meet to discuss what it calls abusive transactions by financial institutions. The products enable the hedge fund to avoid taxes, the people said.
ITV jumped 6.2 percent to 195.1 pence after Liberty Global acquired a 6.4 percent stake for 481 million pounds. It bought the holding from British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc, paying 185 pence a share.
Imperial Tobacco Group Plc rose 1.9 percent to 2,679 pence after Bank of America Corp. raised its rating on the maker of Gauloises cigarettes to buy from neutral. The brokerage said Imperial Tobacco's purchase of brands from Reynolds American Inc. and Lorillard Inc. will make the company more competitive.

Don't miss this Italian gem in Silom
On recent visit back to Bangkok, we decided to visit a favorite of many expats, Vino di Zanotti. Located in the junction of Sathorn and Silom, Vino di Zanotti serves up a more casual bistro-style experience than its more formal sister Zanotti right across the street. Whenever you crave authentic and carefully prepared cucina Italiana "Vino", as it is known by Bangkokians, is a great choice.
At first when I moved to Bangkok, I was surprised there were so many good Italian restaurants – Guisto, L'Opera, Fuzio, Sirocco, Spasso, Limoncello…I mean why is there such good quality Italian in Asia? Until someone explained it to me quite simply….duh, it is just another form of noodle! And besides eating is practically a sport in SE Asia, so good quality food from all regions of the world is revered.
While Zanotti is more of a stuffy, special occasion (or when on expense account) kind of place, Vino is quite lively partly due to the live jazz band that plays each night till midnight. Serving the same caliber of food out of the same kitchen as Zanotti, the dishes are truly of the highest quality and (almost) never fail to please. Also, they share the same seemingly endless wine list of 2300 selections…mostly Italian, of course.
In our last meal at Vino we ventured off the pasta section menu and tried a couple of fish and beef dishes. Gretchen ordered the Pescato del Giorno al Forno con Potato (fish of the day baked with potatoes, capers and fresh tomato slices) at 350THB / $14.70 SGD / $10 USD. This was probably our favorite fish dish – the presentation was simple and rustic, yet still elegant and the flavor was spot on.
Paul had the Pesce Spada alla Favignana (swordfish prepared Favignana-style with pine nuts, parsley, olives and cherry tomatoes) at 510THB / $21.40 SGD / $14.80 USD. Paul is a sucker for pine nuts…sometimes I think he orders dishes simply for the pine nuts 😉 Actually this dish was not quite we expected…the fish had been flaked and was served in a thin layer than had been baked with a breadcrumb topping. It actually was delicious, but I think they could do a better job preparing the diner for what he / she will receive – many folks may have been disappointed not to receive a swordfish steak.
I opted for the Filetto di Manzo ( a fillet of beef with rock salt and rosemary) at 590THB / $24.80 SGD / $17.20 USD. This was pure perfection. I often think the best was to judge a restaurant is a perfectly grilled piece of meat or a simple soup…this can really show the caliber of the chef and the kitchen more so than seemingly complex layers of food under sauces. I would go back just to have this dish again.
We were however rather disappointed with the desserts. Paul and I chose simple classics – Torta di Mela con Gelato (apple and cinnamon tart with ice cream) at 180 THB / $7.60 SGD / $5.40 USD and Panacotta traditional Torino (panacotta with caramel sauce) at 190 THB / $8 SGD / $6.40 USD. The apple tart tasted store bought – and I mean grocery store, not bakery. While the panacotta had the right texture, it lacked the rich flavor one would expect…and sadly the caramel sauce also tasted store bought, like something out of a bottle.Given the overall quality of the main courses, we decided we could forgive them this error. Just don't make the same mistake we did. If you want a 2-course meal, it would be advisable to go with an appetizer and skip dessert.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Country singer Randy Travis is hospitalized in critical condition with a viral heart infection, his publicist said Monday.
Travis, 54, was admitted to an unidentified Texas hospital on Sunday because of complications related to his "recently acquired viral cardiomyopathy," Travis spokesman Kirt Webster said in a written statement.
Travis had a tough year in 2012 with arrests for assault and public intoxication, which earned him a probation sentences.
As one of country music's top-selling artist, Travis owns seven Grammys, 10 Academy of Country Music awards and 10 American Music Award statuettes.
His best known songs include "Three Wooden Crosses," "Forever and Ever, Amen," "Diggin' Up Bones" and "Deeper Than the Holler."
Travis grew up in Union County, N.C.

Re: PT school?
1.Practically all PT programs in the US are DPT programs (3 years). There is no difference between MPT or DPT in terms of what they can do because all PT's are licensed by the state as a registered PT. The APTA has instituted Vision 2020, which includes for all PT's to have DPT. This is just a thing they are doing to try and build autonomy within the field. 2. All PT schools are trying to teach all the basics of evaluation, treatment, differential diagnosis, research. When graduating from PT school, you really don't know that much because you lack so much experience with doing manual therapy on patients. You get good because of time and further instruction after school (continuing education or residency). You can argue that one school might be better than another but I think good PT's are developed by the individual, not produced by the school. 4. All PT schools require human anatomy/physiology, 1 year of chemistry/physics/biology all with a lab, stats or calculus, some psych/sociology, and some require speech. 5. As mentioned before, PT school is usually 3 years. I really don't know if there is a part-time option. Here's another thing to think about. Most states require that a patient needs to have a prescription from a physician to get physical therapy. Some states have direct access where a patient can go see a PT without seeing a MD first. So even though you have all this education, you might be bound by certain rules and regulations that might make it difficult for people to see you. Then you need to think about the insurance side or payment from the patient. On the flip side, athletic trainers and massage therapists have direct access. Education is not as extensive and might work with your current situation a little better. Things to think about. |
Re: PT school?
I agree, which is why I brought up the AT. Chiro is also a long, and expensive route, however you do not need a referral to see one.
Personally, I love getting a massage, however, for a long term goal, I think what would benefit you most would be the AT over the MT. The work span of a massage therapist is pretty short given the toll it takes on a body; and I think the education you'd get from an AT program will be head and shoulders over what you'll get from a MT, in how it pertains to what I suppose you want to do with it.

Re: PT school?
The biggest issue with athletic training (I am one) is the revenue aspect of it. Yes, there is some third-party billing going on in athletic training, but it's very hit or miss still. Biggest thing is the Medicare aspect of it which will be hard to change...
That said, I love my profession and I really think athletic trainers can do a lot of good for society as a whole but especially those who are trying to continue to be athletes such as CrossFit individuals. I am trained in Graston Technique and utilize it a lot. And I'm trying to learn the Functional Movement stuff but can't afford the course at this time... |
Re: PT school?
I'm really intrigued by this AT idea; it seems like it may be more in step with my goals; I guess because I grew up as an athlete, I had just assumed that an AT was just a dude that hung out in HS and College Gyms, I guess I'd never heard of an AT in private practice. So an AT can just do that?
What would the name of the exact program of study I'd be looking into be? Athletic Training? Also, do ATs ever get extra certs in things like MAT, ART, Rolfing, FST, MT, etc? Sorry for what sound like dumb questions, I really am a novice in the specifics of the professions/schooling, I just like the science/theory of it, know the body well, and have had good PT/Chiro/MTs save my life from a lot of crappiness, and I'm fascinated by it and want to find a way to go in that direction! Thanks for all the input. |

Re: PT school?
ATC (certified athletic trainer) is a bachelor's degree. you should be able to do a part-time education program. the only thing that will be difficult is ATC programs usually use students to work for the sports teams. that will include traveling with the team and being around for 2 a days.
some of the things you listed require a master degree or above, some do not. you should be able to do graston, rolf, functional movement with a bachelor's degree. maitland, mckenzie, institute of physical art are PT specific and only issue them if you have a MPT/DPT. you can look into ASTYM because they instruct ATC in that system. |
Re: PT school?
A) "ATC" is a credential and is not a noun. The National Athletic Trainers' Association and the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers is very specific to make that known. B) There are no part-time athletic training education programs because it is pretty intensive. I think people would struggle to do a program part time. Not only the class schedule, but then you add in the required clinical experiences (~20 hours a week). -------- James, you would want to get a bachelor's degree in athletic training. There are some programs that are an entry-level Masters Degree which is not a terrible alternative if you already have a bachelors, but I have a co-worker who went that route who has told me that it is definitely different than somebody going and getting a masters after certification.. I have Graston Technique training which is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue massage and I really love it. GT utilizes stainless steel instruments to break up adhesions when combined with exercise and stretching. Active Release Technique interests me as well, but it is super-expensive and way outside of my budget currently. James, feel free to continue asking questions. I'll answer as best as I can and I'm sure you'll have related professions chiming in as well.. |

The media are guilty, not George Zimmerman or Trayvon Martin.
Few Anderson County residents, when asked, declared George Zimmerman, a 29-year-old former neighborhood watch volunteer, guilty or innocent of the charges brought against him for the fatal shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
The media outlets covering the trial in the months following Martin's death, however — there's no question of their guilt, according to several Anderson News readers.

I love Shaun's Social Club & Restaurant in Inman Park. In fact, I tell anybody I talk to about Atlanta dining that this is my absolute favorite restaurant. Great atmosphere, delicious food and creative cocktails - Shaun's gets big points on all counts.
I recently ate dinner there once again with the boyfriend, little sister and her husband. The only thing that keeps me from dining at this local fave more often is that it's pretty pricey. We moved to Atlanta in large part because we were sick of spending money NY style, so it's hard to justify eating a meal at NY prices too often, but this time around we figured if we stuck to just entrees we wouldn't break the bank.
As always it was tough to pick just one thing off the menu. Little sister and I both tried a summery cocktail made of cucumber vodka and lemonade which tasted exactly like a Pimm's Cup, my favorite British import. Last time I'd tried the watermelon mojito and found it far too sugary so this time I was pleased to have picked better.
I don't often order fish but this time I decided to try the Georgia trout with mustard mash and cippolini onions, and I was glad I did. The fish was buttery and flavorful, and the mustard mash was much more interesting than plain ol' mashed potatoes. The boyfriend's hangar steak frites was good but not amazing. The duck fat fries were fabulous (everything should be cooked in duck fat as far as I'm concerned) but the steak was tasty but didn't knock anyone's socks off. Little sister and her husband shared Shaun's always yummy wagyu beef burger and pompano and grits (a replacement for the usual shrimp and grits). Both cleaned their plates so I'll take that as a good sign.
Service can be slow and at times surly. I once joked with the bartender that what they call East Village style chopped liver was a bit of a misnomer since NY's famous Katz's deli where Shaun apparently got his inspiration is in the lower east side not the east village. The glare I got in reply could have struck a lesser woman dead. Lesson learned, don't question the wisdom of Chef Shaun (even if I am totally right and he's wrong).
That said, I love the food and drinks at Shaun's so I'm not going to let a little service staff hostility scare me away. On other occasions we've also loved the schniztel, pork buns and fava bean salad. And the boyfriend who is a passionate organ eater thought the chicken liver fettuccine was heavenly. This place will take a big bite out of your wallet but it's worth it! Just don't question the staff's geography skills.
Pros: Amazing food and creative cocktails, great atmosphere, well loved chef, pleasant patio
Cons: Expensive, at times service can be slow or surly

ELIZABETH ARDEN Hydra Splash Alcohol Free Toner Reviews
suprisingly this works well in oily areas!
This is a good product to counter-attack oily areas, sometimes when I use a toner my face will retaliate by producing even more oil in the t-zone, however this toner will pick up any excess oil yet not produce more (probably cuase it is alcohol free) it works well on my combination skin-type. — 8 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Mark Wahlberg Confirms He'll Star In 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune' Movie: MTV Exclusive!
Mark Wahlberg is no stranger to starring in movies based on video games -- he played the title role in the 2008 adaptation of the first-person shooter game "Max Payne." And he's also quite comfortable to working with writer-director David O. Russell -- they've collaborated together on "Three Kings," "I Heart Huckabees" and this year's Oscar hopeful "The Fighter," about boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward.
So it makes perfect sense that Wahlberg is now set to tackle the lead role of adventurer Nathan Drake in "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," the hot-ticket video-game adaptation that Russell is writing and directing. Wahlberg -- who was recently named one of MTV's actors we're most thankful for in 2010 -- confirmed as much when we caught up with him at the junket for "The Fighter."
"David is one of the best writer/directors I've ever worked with," Wahlberg told MTV. "The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we'll be making that movie this summer."
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Walhberg also confirmed rumors that Russell is writing roles for acting heavies (and "Goodfellas" costars) Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. "I'm obviously in whatever David wants to do, but the idea of it is so off the charts: De Niro being my father, Pesci being my uncle. It's not going to be the watered-down version, that's for sure."
While Pesci and De Niro have yet to commit to the film, Wahlberg says that he has talked to Pesci about the role, and that De Niro has also been contacted. Sure, Drake's dad and uncle don't appear in the game, but we're betting they'll be there to shed some light on the Drake family's supposed relation to renowned explorer Sir Francis Drake.
For the uninitiated, "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" charts the globetrotting adventurer's search for the treasure of El Dorado. Sounds like box-office gold.
Is Walhberg the right man to play Nathan Drake in "Uncharted"? And are you psyched that Pesci and De Niro might join the cast? Tell us in the comments!

Oh my goodness Rachel. I am so glad you are ok. What a frightening thing to have happened!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! That is crazy-scary! Your editi is beautiful. Thank you for linking up at Sweet Violet.
Glad everything turned out ok. Driving in snow is a tricky thing. I live in Indiana so we usually have snow, but this year it's been pretty mild. Have a great day!
Food for Thought
http://100sweets.blogspot.com/2012/02/sitting-in.htmlSounds like you had an interesting trip... driving in falling snow can by a bit mesmerizing at times...glad you were safe!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to drive in snow, being from California. When I went to school in Utah, I had no experience at all. One day, I slammed on my brakes going down a steep incline when it was snowing. My car and I twirled around and around all the way to the bottom of the very long hill, where we smashed into the curb. Scary.
And I have never liked driving in snow, ever since!

GOC, South Western Area. The son of Admiral Lord Kerr, he learnt to fly in 1914, gaining RAeC Certificate 842 on 14 July, whilst on leave from his command of the Greek Navy, thereby becoming the first British Flag Officer to become a pilot. Shortly after learning to fly he undertook the return flight from Phalerum to Porus Island which at that time (1914) constituted the longest sea crossing by air. However, whilst being too senior to fly in the RNAS, he soon began making calls on the Admiralty, as C-in-C Adriatic Squadron, to give him aircraft to support his activities. His direct involvement with air matters did not really begin until late in 1917, when having been wounded and gassed he was invalided home. At this point he was appointed to the newly constituted Air Board being set up to prepare for the forthcoming amalgamation of the RFC and RNAS into the RAF. When a member of the Cabinet informed him that Lloyd George was proposing not to establish a separate Air Ministry, he immediately wrote to the Cabinet urging a change of mind. Although he did not offer any fresh arguments, his timing in submitting it, had the desired effect on some undecided members of the Cabinet and five days later it was announced in Parliament that an Air Ministry would in deed be formed. He also designed an early form of RAF uniform but it's very light blue colour with lashings of gold braid, made it very unpopular and it was soon superseded by the now more familiar blue-grey with black/light blue rank braid. Retiring from both the RAF and Royal Navy in 1918, he chose to go on to the Admiralty retired list. Following retirement he made two unsuccessful attempts at crossing the Atlantic by air, together with Major H G Brackley before reverting to writing.

Cervantes Mobile has debuted a foldable Bluetooth keyboard that can be used to transform iOS and Android smartphones into fully functional laptops.
The $80 keyboard - which folds down to a compact size - includes a detachable cradle to hold the device in either portrait or landscape orientation. The keyboard is also rigid when unfolded, allowing for easy and comfortable placement in laps.
So if you miss the old way of doing things, this Bluetooth keyboard may just be what you were looking for.
After all, there are still a number of smartphone users who simply don't feel completely comfortable writing e-mails and taking notes via a smartphone interface.
The Jorno Bluetooth Keyboard is expected to launch in early 2011 for $100, but can be pre-ordered now for $80 here.

Curation status
- Uncurated/None
- Experiments or projects are not curated yet. They may be new objects (entities) or do not contain any data yet.
- Current
- Experiments or projects contain everything required by the Data Archiving and Sharing Policies but more material is expected to be deposited shortly in order to satisfy the requirement of completeness necessary for archiving of a research project. For instance the project contains all data, but the documentation is missing, since the project is not officially over it shouldn't be marked as incomplete. Current is a transient status that will be changed into Incomplete or Complete depending on compliance with the NEEScomm policies.
- Incomplete
- Experiments or projects are missing components essential for successful curation and effective archiving. Typically, if a given object is behind the schedule based on the Data Archiving and Sharing Policies its status is marked as Incomplete.
- Complete
- Experiment or project do satisfy NSF requirements for archiving and the object is properly described
- Archived
- Project was determined to have historical significance and should be preserved in the NEES Data Repository, but does satisfy all requirements for completely curated project
Requirements for Curation
Data curation is defined as the activity of organising and validating all relevant data to provide a complete and accurate description of an experiment, including set-up details such as testing methods, specimen drawings, and sensor locations. Curation indicates that a experiment is fit for archiving and future re-use. Files submitted to the repository have to be available in formats that the earthquake engineering community can use for current and future endeavours in research, education, and practice.
Every project or experiment that should be curated MUST contain:
- data
- unprocessed data
- corrected data
- metadata and documentation
- accurate metadata on the 'About' page (dates, names of the research team, meaningful description)
- accurate drawing of the specimen
- list of sensors and their locations
- instrumentation plans
- material properties
- equipment used
- report
- final report (project)
- experimental setup report (experiment)
- executive summary (project)
- experimental setup report
- is a written report that includes descriptions of the geometry of the test specimen, the material properties, the sensor locations, boundary conditions, the loading scheme, etc. in narrative form. It represents an updated and expanded version of the Equipment Site Utilization Form (ESUF) that was submitted to the equipment site before the experiment took place. The Experimental Setup Report should be placed in the Documentation folder under the associated Experiment.
- executive summary
- Every project should contain an executive summary directed at practitioners and researchers looking for specific data. The summary should include results and impact of the project, key figures, and plots. It should be uploaded as a PDF file, maximum 2 pages.
Description Requirements
All descriptive metadata are considered essential for easy search, browsing, collocation of, and access to research data. An effort should be made to complete the project and experiment descriptions.
Researchers should enter titles, dates, and descriptions for all levels of researcher projects (project, experiment, trials, and repetition) should have filled in titles, dates, and description.
- Titles
- Identify each object.
- Dates
- Anchor objects chronologically.
- Description
- Provide the context and the methods used. In case of experiments, trials, and repetitions, description should provide information that differentiates the objects on the same level.
For more details on individual fields refer to the User Data Model
File format
Currently the Project Warehouse accepts most of mainstream file formats (with certain exceptions), but the recommended file formats are given below. Researchers are also advised to avoid proprietary and uncommon formats.
- Sensor measurements
- tab-delimited ASCII or CSV
- Reports, publications and other documentation
- Images
- PNG, JPG, and GIF (avoid BMP files; they will be accepted but will be displayed on the NEEShub in another format)
- Frame captures
- ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ – the above-mentioned limitations for images also apply.
- Video
- currently there are no restrictions
Data Types
- Unprocessed_Data
- are data as they come out of the data acquisition (DA) system. These data can be collected both in volts or in engineering units and uploaded in tab delimited or comma-separated ASCII files. For video or photos, unprocessed data are the files produced by the camera and they may be cut to represent a single repetition.
- Converted_Data
- are data in tab-delimited or comma-separated ASCII format, converted from volts to engineering units and without zero offsets (if applicable). Each column within the file should provide a sensor label and the units of measure. If the DA outputs data meeting this description, the Converted Data folder can be left empty and the files placed only in the Unprocessed Data folder. . For video/photo data, converted data are files in which the format has been changed.
- Corrected_Data
- are data in tab-delimited or comma-separated ASCII1 format in engineering units (each column within the file should provide a sensor label and the units of measure) and may be corrected to exclude:
- noise
- data from sensors that malfunction during the test
- data acquired from long pauses
- errors due to the use of incorrect calibration constants
- correcting for lens distortion (video/photo)
- modifying brightness (video/photo)
- adding a title (video/photo)
- Derived_Data
- are files that include the corrected data plus columns of data that are functions of existing columns. This data may be re-sampled if appropriate. Each column within the file should provide a sensor label and the units of measure.
The procedures used to compute the derived data must be documented in enough detail such that another researcher could re-create the derived data. The data analysis procedures should be documented in a PDF file placed in the Derived Data folder.
Requirements for Data Files with Sensor Measurements
The suggested data file format in the comma-separated-values (CSV) format as ASCII. Each column should correspond to a sensor or a physical quantity, with the first column referring to time. The first row shall include sensor labels (matching those used in sensor maps and sensor lists) and the second row shall include units. Each file shall be labelled using the ID of the specimen it refers to and trial number (and possibly also project and experiment), date of measurement collection and the software that produced the the data. Each file should also include a one-liner explaining the type of data collected, unless the file title is descriptive enough.
The current practice is that metadata are preceded by a symbol that instructs application to skip the line which starts with that symbol – hash sign (#) is frequent, so is exclamation mark (!), or asterisk (*). Below is a modified example based on real data file. This output can often provided automatically by the DAQ system.

Sensor metadata and sensor naming format
Each piece of equipment needs to be properly described. The item name, ID, and output units are required fields, other attributes such as manufacturer, model, calibration constant, accuracy, and date of calibration are optional.
Suggested naming format for sensors:
Accelerometer | ACCØØØ |
Piezoelectric Sensor | PIEØØØ |
Camera (Still Image) | CASØØØ |
Camera (Video) | CAVØØØ |
Electrical Strain Gage | ESGØØØ |
Inclinometer | INCØØØ |

Load Cell | LOAØØØ |
Pressure Gage | PREØØØ |
Potentiometer | POTØØØ |
Standard Penetration Test Equipment | SPTØØØ |
Wave Gage | WAVØØØ |
Other Transducers | TRAØØØ |
NEES Experiment Timeline
There are three really important milestone in the data life-cycle all researchers need to be aware of. The unprocessed data need to be uploaded a month ( 1) after experiment is completed. All other data need to be uploaded to the NEES Data Repository six (6) months after experiment is completed, and twelve (12) months after completion of the experiment these data need to be made public, which means that researchers have six months to analyze and work on their data.

With our return to Daylight Saving Time, I wake greeted by Venus blazing in the southeast. The Morning Star rises around 5:30, and an hour later it is well perched above the horizon, shining brighter than any object other than the moon and sun. As sunrise nears and if the sky is clear, another bright light appears 20 degrees in Venus's wake, Mercury.
Friday marks the innermost planet's greatest western elongation — its farthest point from the sun as seen from Earth. Even so, it only climbs 10 degrees above the south-southeast horizon before sunrise. While Mercury doesn't climb any higher, it brightens from +0.8 to –0.1 magnitude through March.
Evening brings the other five naked-eye planets into view. As twilight gives way to darkness, Jupiter pops alight almost directly overhead. It is easily the brightest object other than the moon, which is far to the east this week.
Mars rises around 9pm, as bright as any star. Compare its ruddy hue to the first magnitude star Spica's blue-white glow just a half-dozen degrees away. Planet and star are at their highest in the south around 3am.
By that time, Saturn is well above the southeast horizon, trailing 30 degrees behind Mars and Spica. The ringed planet is at its highest in the south a couple hours before sunrise.
The moon is prominent this week, reaching full phase Sunday. Native Americans called this the Worm Moon, as this is the time of year when the ground softens and these creatures
begin to work the earth.
Friday the waxing gibbous moon is just a few degrees to the west of the star Regulus in the constellation Leo, while Saturday the moon shines well below Regulus.
Monday the just-full moon rises with Spica in tow. The lead star of Virgo stands almost directly below Luna, while ruddy Mars is just a few degrees left of Spica.
Tuesday the moon, Mars and Spica rise in the southeast around 10pm and form a triangle. The waning gibbous moon shines four degrees to the lower right of Mars and one degree to the lower left of Spica. They remain tight all night and are high in the northwest as sunrise approaches Wednesday morning.

For my 7.62x39s I am loading 31.0 grs H335 under a 123 gr FMJ. It does as good as anything I've loaded or factory ammo. Groups of 1.5" to 2.5" are the norm for mine- not exactly benchrest but fun anyway.

I have two loads. However I disassemble russian factory loads and tweak them. My accuracy load is based on Silver Bear and I have a reduced load based on Golden Tiger cartridges that is specifically for tactical shooting competition. Full specs here if you like.
http://www.northwoodsphoto.net/sks/Handloads/Loads.html The reduced load started as a fully handloaded round, but loss of brass was a problem and the Golden Tiger basis load proved considerably more accurate, and a ton cheaper to make. |

Anyone who has had this problem can you shed some clarity on the issue? What driver is required to fit the screw, then what length fits in. There should be an instant link like, __________(blue), for the right tool for this issue.
Again, Denon must be contacted, en masse, and we should get the tool with the new packages.
Thanks guys - K
I am not sure what size the screw is, but given the space, I would say that an offset screwdriver should be able to get the job done.

What are proteins?
Protein is extremely important and needed for your body to be healthy and function properly. Protein is made up of amino acids, which the body must have in order to synthesize various proteins and nitrogen containing molecules that make human life possible.
Amino acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of life. There are 2 categories of amino acids, essential and nonessential.
- Essential amino acids are amino acids that the body cannot make and we must obtain through diet.
- Essential- leucine, isoleucine, valance, lysine, tryptophan, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, histidine
- Nonessential amino acids are amino acids that the body is able to make for itself.
- Nonessential- alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cystine, glycine, hydroxyproline, glutamic acid, serine
- There are also conditionally essential amino acids, which are amino acids that are normally nonessential, but under certain physiological conditions they become essential and the body is unable to make them.
- Conditionally essential Amino Acids- Tyrosine, cysteine, proline, arginine, glutamine
Why do we need protein and how much is needed?
Dietary protein contributes to the body's supply of amino acids that is needed to produce important molecules in our body such as enzymes, hormones, antibodies, protein transport and to serve as a buffer. Protein is also needed for the body's growth, muscle building and repair.
It is recommended for adults to consume 0.8 gram protein per kilogram of bodyweight. For example, a 130 pound person (59 kilogram) would need 47 grams protein per day. Keep in mind, this recommendation is the amount of protein needed to prevent deficiencies for generally healthy adults.
If we take into consideration the reasons why protein is important such as enzymes, hormones, immunity, protein synthesis (the making of new proteins), weight management, satiety, muscle growth and repair, it is obvious we need more protein than what is needed to prevent deficiencies. Active healthy adults may require consuming approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. For those who want to gain strength and build muscle, consider taking in 1.25-1.50 gram per pound of bodyweight.
Eating more protein may improve your metabolism and lead to better weight management. The amount of energy, up to 30%, it takes for your body to digest, absorb, transport and store protein is a lot higher than it is in carbohydrates and fat. High protein foods are slow to digest and empty the stomach, which results in feeling full longer. This means there is a more steady effect on blood sugar compared to the sharp rise that results in eating simple carbohydrates. When your blood sugar rises then falls sharply, as in eating simple carbohydrates, it sends out signals that you are hungry. The more satiety you feel after a meal, the better you will be at managing your weight.
Protein quality
Complete proteins are proteins that contain all essential amino acids in the amounts needed by humans. These include all animal products, excluding gelatin, and soy protein. Quinoa is also a complete protein.
Incomplete proteins have too little of one or more essential amino acids. These are plant foods such as legumes, vegetables, cereals and grain products.
For vegans, this information is important to ensure all essential amino acids are consumed daily. By eating a variety of legumes, vegetables and grain products, vegans should have no problem consuming all essential amino acids.

Take home message:
- Consume a complete lean protein with every meal.
- Protein burns more calories to process and store than carbohydrates and fat, which can lead to a higher metabolic rate.
- Protein causes a steady rise in blood sugar resulting in satiety and a delay in hunger. This can also result in weight loss.
- Complete proteins are animal products, excluding gelatin, soy and quinoa.
- Combine incomplete proteins to make a complete protein, such as peanut butter and whole grain bread.

I just came out of my meeting at the EVGA suite here in Las Vegas and I have some great pictures and new specs to report on this hot board! I was able to have some one on one time with EVGA's Jacob Freeman and Peter Tan (aka Shamino) and was able to see this new board hands-on (a world first).
First of all, most of you are probably aware of the primary specs that have already been released for the board. These include three phase PWM for each set of memory slots per CPU, industry leading digital PWM for the CPU's, dual NF200 chips for Quad SLI (and still more lanes free), ICH10R, and high quality solid state capacitors, chokes, and PCB.
Some things you may not know:
The board is able to run with two entirely different models of CPU, or the same CPU's at different multipliers.
There are two 8 pin, three 6 pin, and two 4 pin floppy connectors in and around the CPU sockets for delivering extra power to the DIMM slots, CPU's and graphic cards while under extreme overclocking condition. Peter tells me that only the standard 8 pin connectors will be required for most operational circumstances and that only under really serious overclocking will the additional power connectors become necessary.
Peter says the board itself is essentially finished, what is left is BIOS tuning which is still relatively early on and will take a few more weeks to complete.
Board will have two SATA 6GBPS ports on board (red ports), as well as two USB 3.0 on the back IO. Marvel is the chip.
MSRP is still unknown, but I was able to ascertain that it will be between $450 and $550, pricey but to be expected for a board of this caliber and quality.
Expect boards to arrive to the market sometime in April, or possibly later if BIOS tuning takes longer than expected.

I swear if you find anyone who has a mic in this game. Its almost a guarantee that someone will bitch at you. Some people will feel like your not helping or not putting in enough work. So they will start going on an epic rant about how your not doing your job, and that your a worthless naive idiot.
I have encountered some of the most ignorant people that take this game way to seriously. In 1 match I had a teammate going berserk screaming at everyone. Because he wanted all of us to play a certain way just so he can get a trophy. He got so upset he even started crying over the fucking mic. The rest of my team left the match including me. That had to be the most pathetic match I had with another player ever.
At this point I don't know if I want to play this game anymore. The community just ruins the experience for me. Its so hostile and filled with people that act like cunts. People that just act like complete bitches, I'm just so sick of it.

Portland Fire Investigators Arrest Suspect on Two Counts of Arson
Posted at 9:36 am On January 11, 2011, at just after 6:00 am, firefighters from NE Portland's Station 13 were dispatched to an automatic commercial alarm at the Madrona Studio apartments located at 10 N. Wielder Street. Firefighters arrived on-scene less than four minutes later and observed smoke and water escaping from underneath an apartment door on the fifth floor. Firefighters entered the apartment and determined that a small fire had occurred and had been quickly extinguished by a ceiling sprinkler head. There were no occupants in the apartment and firefighters noted that the apartment had no working smoke alarm. A Portland Fire Investigator responded to the scene to investigate the fire's cause. The investigator conducted a thorough fire scene investigation and determined that the fire was an act of arson. As a result of the on-scene investigation, the tenant of the apartment, Richard Allen Wymer, was identified as a person of interest. After additional follow up by fire investigators, Wymer, age 65, was also determined to be a suspect in an arson that occurred on January 15, 2010 in a downtown Portland Starbucks because of his physical description. On January 12, 2011, PF&R Fire Investigators arrested Wymer on two counts of Arson I, a class A felony, and one count of Criminal Mischief, a class C felony with a bail amount of $505,000. Wymer is currently lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center. PF&R Fire Investigators will testify to their investigative findings before a grand jury on January 19, 2011.

Windows 8: How to get your Start Menu back
- 7
Alright, let's do this just once: here's how to get a semblance of a Start Menu back in Windows 8, if you are someone who prefers to look backwards from a UI perspective:
- Fire up your Windows 8 device.
- Head to this link.
- Drop in your email address.
- Hit go, initiate download.
- Install, which will take just a moment, and boom, you are all set.
And yes, I know that those directions are more than a touch pedantic. My coffee is wearing off, and along with it my good mood. Here's what the start menu looks like in use:
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
Now, why should you use this? You shouldn't. What Stardock, a company that I have a great deal of affection for, has put together is essentially a rehash of the Charms Bar and the new Start Screen, just shmushed and moved to a different part of the screen. That this effort lacks is interesting, as it underscores something that I hadn't known: I very much like the new Windows 8 UI.
I went into this post, testing the app, expecting to love it. I installed it, and when I found out that it was simply the Windows 8 UI, 'chopped and screwed,' to fit an old paradigm I sighed a bit. I think that we are all going to have to realize that Microsoft is taking us down a new user interface and user experience road, and that we have little choice in the matter.
Happily, the Metro UI and Windows 8 design changes have been generally liked. This is something good, as billions of people are going to use them. Imagine if they were painfully bad. RIP Start Menu, I almost miss you.

PSD to XHTML/CSS/Jquery
- Status Closed
- Budget $100 - $500 USD
- Total Bids 35
Project Description
Please read this job description carefully, providers that clearly have not read the project requirements will NOT be considered for the work, and MAY be reported as spam.
I need a PSD sliced and coded manually to clean and W3C valid XHTML/CSS. I have a very organized zip folder including a large layered PSD file with one common layout (background, header, footer, etc.) and about 8 "pages" where sidebar and main content is different per page, though much of it is repetition.?
**Basic Requirements:**
* Fast page loading with optimized graphics and layout
* Cross browser compatibility
* Pixel perfect markup
* SEO optimized, semantic, simple, clean, re-usable code
* Excellent communication: native-level English, contact via Skype
* Fast, smooth and clean image rotation (jquery/js)
## Deliverables
**Further Details:**
The PSD is a re-design of an existing web app built in Rails and Jquery. You will see where the common layout is and which elements are variable. You will need to use the existing external CSS file and HTML layout and selectors as a basis for the coding. Any changes to existing selectors or variable elements should be minimal and will need to be well commented for easy modification of the existing Rails code, which I will do myself.
Home page design (attached) includes an image rotation element, and should probably be coded with a jquery plugin (though some say flash may work too, I'm skeptical). I may want the rotation (if it involves costly ajax uploads from the server) to be triggered by mouse movement, but this seems fairly trivial.
You do not need to know Rails, but an understanding of how Rails (and other MVC development systems) generates "pages" from a layout and various views will probably be helpful. I will be available for any questions about technical issues and site functionalities. You must be willing to ask - for example, about rollover states, display rules for dynamic content, etc. You must be proud of your quality, and interested in applying your own creativity and experience to make the site better, friendlier and more usable.
Good practices will need to be followed: manual coding of valid, semantic XHTML/CSS, not using form tags in your code, not using CSS resets, not applying any styles to global selectors, coding common classes when possible, well commented code, using HTML and CSS (colors, borders, background, etc.) wherever possible instead of images, etc.
**If interested in this job:**
Please include 5 links to live websites in your proposal that demonstrate the quality of your coding skill, and that conform to W3C validated XHTML. If you have a working image rotation element, please include a link to one or more. Please estimate the maximum delivery time for this job. Feel free to ask any question necessary to place an accurate bid.

Hotshot rookie race car Lightining McQueen is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life.
