To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.
James Thurber
Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Golda Meir
Old age is a shipwreck.
Charles de Gaulle
I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.
Christine Lahti
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
Louis Kronenberger
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
Margaret Mead
We've put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping them enjoy it.
Frank Howard Clark
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
Pearl S. Buck
If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart; if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains!
Kevin Spacey
There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone; but, years after, we know it was much later.
Mignon McLaughlin
Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
Don Marquis
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
Bill Vaughan
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Alan Bleasdale
I'm not afraid of aging.
Shelley Duvall
The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists the circulation of the blood.
Logan P. Smith
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
Dwight L. Moody
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.
Doug Larson
The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Max Lerner
You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.

Contrary to popular belief bacon is actually good for you! Ask the Banters!!
Bacon is filled with healthy nutrients that improve your mood, protect your heart and boosts your brain.
It contains thiamin, vitamin B12, zinc and selenium, which are all vital nutrients the body does not naturally produce. It does contain fat but no the harmful trans fats. In fact bacon has less fat and cholesterol than many cuts of beef or chicken according to bacontoday.com.
The low fat content when compared to the amount of nutritional value is surprising. Bacon has the highest protein to fat content of any meat, which makes it a great option when following a high protein diet or after exercise.
Bacon makes you happy
Umami, a word used to describe the taste of Protein, has a neurological impact on the brain which causes a feeling of happiness or bliss after eating it. So eating bacon will improve your mood, make you feel satisfied and lower your stress levels!
Bacon protects your heart
Bacon is good for your heart because it contains the same omega-3 fatty acids found in fish which reduce cholesterol and improve the overall health of your heart. It's a myth that bacon causes heart disease. It also contains Choline which is a nutrient that protects the heart from damage and disease.
Bacon boosts your brain
Choline also contributes to the healthy functioning of the brain and even for the growth of the brain in the womb. A diet containing Choline will reduce memory loss over time and has been used in treatment of people with mental impairments like dementia diseases.
It also improves memory so is excellent to give to school going children for breakfast.
Bacon is not bad for you! It's high level of nutrients make it beneficial to your diet. When eaten in proper portion sizes the health benefits of the nutrients will outweigh the possible downsides usually associated with it.
Cattle Baron has 7 dishes on the menu where bacon is one of the ingredients that gives that extra special twist to the overall taste. Have you tried them?

Like rock climbing, hate leaving the house? Not a problem for this Japanese fellow, who turned one wall of his loft into an indoor climbing facility.
Since you'll have to be ridiculously rich to have one floor of your house occupy an entire 30-foot high wall, he did the next best thing: he kept the entire wall, from ground to ceiling open. Yep, that means there's little privacy in the limited space structure. Who cares, though? You've got a rock climbing course in your home - that has to count for something.
As you climb, you gain full view of all three floors of the house which, by the way, has no separating walls (so folks afraid of narrow spaces don't have to feel so cramped). That means, as you crawl as high as the second floor bathroom, you get to see whatever is going on in there. Same with the upstairs bedroom and, pretty much, every other area of the space. It's definitely one way to make your interior look way different than the norm - save the privacy for folks who don't have their own rock climbing wall at home. Those losers.
For a more unusual thrill, you can jump from the third floor directly onto the wall, clinging for a hold at one of those randomly-shaped, colored rocks. At least, that's what I'll be telling the cops my husband did, if I was the dude's wife, when I've finally had enough of this ridiculous climbing nonsense.
He fell, Mr. Policeman, I swear.

WARNING: This post contains major spoilers for the Divergent trilogy. If you have not read Allegiant or if you don't want to know what happens at the end, DO NOT READ AHEAD!!!
Author: Veronica Roth
Number of Pages: 526
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Release Date: October 22, 2013
"The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries
are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love."
– Goodreads.com
I decided to write two separate reviews of Allegiant because there are SO many interesting points to discuss that are major spoilers if you are reading other books in the series or if you haven't started reading them yet. This story changes drastically from the first book to the third, and there's a lot that I would like to hear others' opinions about. So, here we go!
Let's start with the positives. I really enjoyed the way the idea of what being Divergent means changes throughout the series. At first, you're led to believe that it's quite simple: someone who is Divergent belongs to several factions at once. But then in Allegiant it all becomes much more complicated. Suddenly Divergent means that you are whole, and anyone who is not Divergent is therefore "damaged." I understand that the science and logic behind this is flawed. Is the whole thing with the different genes and the experiments is even possible? Probably not, but I'm no scientist. Personally, I believe that science fiction does not have to be entirely true- that's the entire purpose of the "fiction" aspect of it. However, I think it does need to be written in a way that is persuasive and believable, and this aspect of the book was, at least for me.
I also enjoyed it because it brought up a fascinating social dilemma, similar to the racial inequality that has plagued American society basically since its very beginning. A conflict was created between those who are whole and those who are damaged, and it was very interesting to see how that played out with the different characters. I think it's very clever of Roth to have Tobias be damaged while Tris was whole. It added depth to their relationship and made it more realistic, because in real life people tension in their relationships as well.
Now, on to the more negative side of things.
If you've read the book (which I'm assuming you have, considering you're reading this review) you probably have an idea where I'm going with this. But I'm just going to come right out and say it.
Yes, I understand that she wanted to protect her brother, and that she was sacrificing herself for the greater good of the community and blah, blah, blah. But all of this justification can be done after the event itself- there was nothing in the plot that suggested that she needed to die. She very well could have done what she needed to do and escaped alive. Wounded, certainly, but alive. As I was reading I got the feeling that Roth added that in just to make the ending more dramatic, since the series was coming to a close. The rest of the book felt like salt being rubbed into a cut- Tobias grieving, learning to cope with his loss, then going on with his life and hanging out with Christina. It was just too much.
Overall, I did enjoy Allegiant. It had its flaws, for sure, but ultimately it was a decent end to the series.
My Rating: :0) :0) :0) :0) 4 out of 5 smileys.
Would I recommend it to a friend?: I would definitely recommend the series as a whole. I think it is worth reading, even though there are some things that I disliked about it.
What were your thoughts on this book or the series altogether? Do you disagree or agree with the death of Tris? Let me know in the comments section below!

Who would have known that I'd love real estate this much. I certainly did not! Yes I knew I would find it interesing but little did I know that it would be so much more. For far longer than I like to remember friends had suggested to me that I think about getting into real estate. Well, I had thought about it. Many times but I always felt that it would have too much of a negative impact on my family. Now I'm talking back in the seventies and early eighties. Not quite the dark ages but that was quite a while ago.
It was not until the youngest of my three children started college that I felt the time was right and boy did I jump in. Although I had toyed with it in the back of my mind and suspected that at some time, when I thought it was the right time, I would get around to getting my license and begin a new career.
Little did I realize at that time, even after thinking about doing it for so long, that I would find it fitting my personality so well. If someone had told me how quickly I would take to it it would have been very difficult to have put it off for so long. I had no idea, nor did anyone tell me, how much I would love it. Perhaps no one told me because everyone has to find out for themselves if it is the right fit for them.
If someone:
- loves problem solving
- enjoys variety
- welcomes challenges
- is comfortable working with people
- believes in education...and then more education
- is pro-active
- tends to be independent
- is willing to share
- enjoys mentoring
- has a creative streak
- handles dealing with ambiguity (well you may not love it but you certainly have to deal with it at times)
- is definitely a self-starter
- has understanding and appreciates people's likes and dislikes
- thrives in acceptance but can handle rejection (believe it or not...everyone is not going to want to list their house with you nor ask you to help them buy a house no matter how wonderful you are)
- has negotiating skills
- loves a settlement (and the commission that goes along with it) but can bounce back when a deal crashes in spite of doing all that is humanly possible
- believes in teamwork (you are very likely going to be an independent contractor but you will need all the allies you can muster)
- can handle being flexible (sometimes it hurts more than other times but you have to bend more often then you think you will whether it is giving up days off when you really thought you'd earned that time or any number of other things that pop up
- thrives on the "up" feeling you get when your client (buyer or seller) is happy with the transaction
- enjoys driving, especialy if you work with buyers
- loves communicating (vital)
- does not mind paperwork, and
- can handle more than a couple (a dozen?) tasks at a time
then real estate may be the right match.
Little did I know that it took all of these qualities, and more, to produce the successfull career that I have had and continue to have. Real estate as a profession is what you make of it. We learn about some of the technical aspects of real estate while studying for our license but it is in the practice of our trade from day to day that we really learn what is involved to not only be successful but to provide the service our sellers and purchasers deserve.

Here is a superb adaptation of the Law Abiding Citizen trailer bringing the Team Fortress 2 characters into the fun:
This wonderful piece of work is a real showcase for someone wanting to create something using a suite of tools (Max, Nuke , After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere, VirtualDub) and some great source material. He did a great job of merging the idea the movie's characters and the TF2 ones.
Watch the splitscreen version or the original to get the full picture.

So What Does Make a Great Fisherman?
6 comments:
This is excellent.ReplyDelete
Thank you.
Maybe it's a subset of the "thinking hunter", and tenacity attributes, but when I think of people I consider good fisherpeople I include "ability to adapt and willingness to experiment". Guides are constantly tinkering with flies and presentations and checking out different spots at different tides, etc. My buddy Jerry and I were driven off the water into the shelter of a cove by a storm. We were sitting in 15 feet of water waiting out the weather. Jerry thought about it for a minute and then lengthened his leader, tied on a heavily weighted crab, let it sink to the bottom and promptly caught a bonefish. Jerry was a great fisherman.ReplyDelete
Great writing Scott!!! a very interesting read.ReplyDelete
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!ReplyDelete

Here's the thing.
We, just as much as you, hate the term "hipster." Actually we don't hate it, but we loathe it in moderation. Because most of the time, hipsters are calling the kettle black and it's fucking confusing. What really defines one, anyway?
I think we can ALL agree that no one actually loves Luther Vandross and listens to him unironically. We tried listening to Luther Vandross ironically and that didn't work. Sometimes people do things to go outside of the norm and that's boring.
With that said, though, there are certain things we do normally which are apparently regarded as being hipster-esque, provoking our bourgeois parents to scoff at our "rebellious nature" and our past Pep Squad selves to cower away into old diaries because they cannot deal with such a slick identity change-up.
Herewith, 10 things that perhaps, just may be, apparently hipster:
1. Talking openly about being melancholy
Do only hipsters discuss their unfortunate befuddlement? Is there some kind of connection with not being particularly interested in the music of, say, Radiohead, Nirvana, Daniel Johnston? Are inner demons a defining aspect of the underground?
2. Being in a polyamorous relationship.
We've talked to "couples" who love each other, yes, but also sleep with other people. Is this alt? Do you pine for the grounded and carefully defined days of the past with your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend and ex prom date? Even though they still think misogyny is funny and make really bad dick jokes. maybe it's time to throw in the towel because we are jealous creatures and may not be able to ever get past that. Screw hedonism. (Mmm).
3. To like wholesome and nutritious foods like quinoa or kale or smoothies made from real fruit and not purchased at the airport.
It's pronounced like keen-wah. Bet you didn't know that. We did. Before you.
(Way before you. Like, months before you).
4. To have a social networking site that shows off the books you read.
A lot of people like other people knowing they are engaged or have children or cute animals or love the Red Wings so what's the difference?
5. To read books.
We've seen the scoffs while reading a print paperback on the train. It's as if we're just vying for attention to be different.
6. Not caring that much about football but not because you want to be Someone Who Doesn't Give a Shit About Football but really because you're indifferent and just genuinely desire to do something else on your Saturdays off.
You fucking asshole. You're just so desperate to be different.
7. To not want to get fro-yo or brunch or cupcakes or go to The Fray concert with you this weekend.
I'd rather eat full-fat ice cream and listen to melancholy music and talk about being melancholy. Again this is my Saturday, bitch.
8. For that matter, desire to stay in all weekend. Alone. By your self.
My Cat From Hell is on.
9. To ride a bike
Is this a hipster thing? Is it because it has to do with helping the environment or something? My sister loathes bikers and quote thinks they're stupid. A nice relaxing bike ride by the lake is acceptable, though. Like something you may find on a brochure for Mackinac Island.
10. To just like what you like! Okay?!
Too many arguments with the siblings. We'll just end it here.

SAN DIEGO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Qualcomm ended slightly higher on Wednesday, one day after the wireless technology bellwether reported a drop in fourth-quarter profit from operations and trimmed its forecast for 2002 earnings.
In the fourth quarter ended Sept. 30, Qualcomm said pro forma profit totaled $162.7 million, or 20 cents a share, down 13 percent from $186.1 million, or 23 cents, a year ago.
Qualcomm QCOM, +1.47% shares, which had fallen as much 5 percent in the morning, recovered later on. The stock ended the session with a gain of 38 cents to $55.11, on heavy volume of 46 million.
Factoring out a variety of special items, Qualcomm said it earned 23 cents a share from continuing operations - still 2 cents short of the 25-cent consensus of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call.
Pro forma revenue climbed to $682 million from $635 million a year ago, but that was less than expected. Analysts were expecting adjusted revenue of more than $690 million.
San Diego-based Qualcomm attributed the shortfall to lower interest on loans to carriers. The company has lent money to some customers to buy Qualcomm's equipment, such as the Mexican company Pegaso. Financially troubled Pegaso is seeking to raise more cash or find a buyer for itself, a process that Qualcomm said it's trying to assist.
Qualcomm's results are adjusted to conform with a key change in federal accounting rules, which change how the company books profit and revenue from the sale of technology licenses and certain equipment.
Including special items, the company reported a net loss of $44.5 million, or 6 cents a share, compared with income of $126.2 million, or 16 cents, a year ago. Unadjusted revenue totaled $650.8 million, up from $614.7 million.
The company reported results after U.S. markets closed. On Tuesday, Qualcomm QCOM, +1.47% jumped $1.65 to $54.73, but the stock fell 5 percent in after-hours trading. Qualcomm stock has fallen 50 percent in the past year.
Qualcomm owns the dominant U.S. technology by which cellular phone calls are transmitted over wireless networks. It's increasingly the standard of choice for global carriers moving to offer the "next generation" of wireless services, including Internet access.
For the most part, the company makes money by licensing its so-called CDMA technology and selling chips for use in wireless phones and the CDMA networks over which they operate.
Trimming forecasts
Looking ahead, Qualcomm said it expects to earn pro forma 21 cents to 24 cents a share in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Before the announcement, analysts had been projecting adjusted earnings per share of 27 cents. Pro forma revenue is projected to rise 5 percent to 10 percent.
Also in the first quarter, Qualcomm said it plans to ship 15 million to 16 million chips, compared to Wall Street expectations of 16 million shipments just a few months ago. The company shipped 13 million chips in the fourth quarter, in line with expectations.
For 2002, Qualcomm said it expects to earn $1.10 to $1.20 a share, below the current estimate of $1.22. Revenue is forecast to expand 15 percent to 25 percent.
Shipments of wireless phones based on the company's proprietary technology are seen reaching 85 million to 95 million next year, though Qualcom predicts prices of the phones will decline at a 10 percent rate.
With global growth slowing, wireless carriers are rolling out their expensive next-generation networks at a slower pace to conserve cash. In addition, phone users aren't willing to pay high prices for new phones. That's caused Qualcomm's sales to flatten over the past year.
Sales should improve as the U.S. economy recovers and carriers accelerate network-modernization plans, but analysts are unsure if that uptrend will kick in next year. Many phone companies have slashed 2002 spending plans, though some indicate they'll boost purchases of wireless gear.

You are studying up on new marketing approaches and have read that article advertising can really improve your bottom line. Using this article and information from other sources, you can make some nice money with article submission.
Get away from stiff AP style regulations and rules when you write for SEO. This ensures the search engines truly maximize your content for great ranking results. You need to use the AP rules because they help create content that works great, but don't follow every restriction if you want to rank higher in search engines.
For your emails, make sure you include great content. You don't want to be branded as a spammer. This will lose you present and future customers and may actually get you into legal trouble. Make sure your emails have relevant content and help attract customers to your site rather than annoy them with junk. Not following this important rule will only cause your company to lose potential clients so be sure to keep this one in mind anytime you create a new email.
Title Tag
Use your title tag appropriately. It is imperative that you include keywords that relate to your site in your title tag. It should stand out from the title tags that other websites use and accurately describe the page on your website.
Many people believe (not without cause!) that they need to produce their own content to engage in successful article syndication. You must have an idea for content to write well. You can understand all the grammar rules in the book, practice perfect punctuation, and be critical of those who are not as well versed as you are. You may also easily recognize figures of speech such as metaphors, alliterations and hyperboles. In truth, there is more to writing than just knowing the rules. Think of writing as creating art not just words.
Add every piece of content to your site in order to draw visitors from keyword searches. This is an easy way to increase your website rankings and traffic. The search engines seeks out regularly updated sites, so posting your articles consistently is going to help you.
The first paragraphs of your articles should get your readers' attention right away. Search engines and readers look at the first paragraph as the most important part of an article. Tell them exactly what they're going to get below. Do not offer too much too soon. To ensure they keep reading, they have to want to find out more.
Put the right tools to work for you to increase your online presence. Lots of tools exist that can help submit content to directories on your behalf. Look for free tools and services. This can be a pain-free way to get more people to read your articles.
Familiarize yourself with any rules your article directory might have. Each directory website will have its own set of standards and guidelines which you must adhere to.
Article advertising can help you in a number of ways, such as increasing your website traffic, enhancing your online reputation and improving your relationship with your prospective clients. This article will help you get started.

They are asking me for 1 more week back in service.
In all honesty, ICT is most of the time fun, alot of hardwork, yes, but it is time whereby we get to break from our routine and do somethings out of our routine work.
Of course, there will always be alot of rush to wait and wait to rush.
There is also a sense that I am doing this, if not for the country, my family and those who served with me.
But if you look at it, we are really getting the shorter end of the deal, no?
As if 2 yrs of life was not enough, every year, u get called back 2 weeks of your time. Yes, one can argue that its like going on leave, but ask anyone from club med to trade their week for 1 in Tekong.... Any takers? I guess not.
And be asked to keep fit every year and if not, you will get RT or IPT. Which means that you have to get off work early or even on weekends to do exercise. Failing to do that, you get charged.
Which mean that you spend alot less time at work then all the foreign talent in your office..... And you are wondering why the quality of life and promotion is far away....... For all you know, its more likely to advance you in the list of people getting retrenched....
Trust me, the whole moniker that "Jobs for the FT, NS for the Sinkies" is not a joke. It is the culmination of what we are so pissed of about.
In fact,
If you asked me, what do I defend?
Definitly not
1). The trash that masked as talents that took jobs from the local
2). The Ang Mos that screws our women and look macho but can't even hold a gun.
3). The million dollar or 8 month bonuses
4). The helpers that torments our kids and aged and still cry rape and abuse
If they happened to benefit from the umbrella of protection, just be quiet as I can assured that its all accidental.
Because when the call to arms is answered, rest assured that those in the 4 listed, if they had not scuttled out and hide somewhere far, might just get some iron or lead in their system.

Ageism, also called age discrimination, is stereotyping of and discrimination against individuals or groups because of their age. It is a set of beliefs, attitudes, norms, and values used to justify age based prejudice and discrimination. This may be casual or systematic.[1][2][3] The term was coined in 1969 by US gerontologist Robert N. Butler to describe discrimination against seniors, and patterned on sexism and racism.[4] Butler defined ageism as a combination of three connected elements. Among them were prejudicial attitudes towards older people, old age, and the aging process; discriminatory practices against older people; and institutional practices and policies that perpetuate stereotypes about older people[5] The term has also been used to describe prejudice and discrimination against adolescence and children, including ignoring their ideas because they are too young, or assuming that they should behave in certain ways because of their age.[6]
Ageism commonly refers to positive discriminatory practices, regardless of the age towards which it is applied. There are several subsidiary forms of ageism. Adultism is a predisposition towards adults, which is seen as biased against children, youth, and all young people who are not addressed or viewed as adults.[7] Jeunism is the discrimination against older people in favor of younger ones. This includes political candidacies, commercial functions, and cultural settings where the supposed greater vitality and/or physical beauty of youth is more appreciated than the supposed greater moral and/or intellectual rigor of adulthood. Adultcentricism is the "exaggerated egocentrism of adults."[8] Adultocracy is the social convention which defines "maturity" and "immaturity," placing adults in a dominant position over young people, both theoretically and practically.[9] Gerontocracy is a form of oligarchical rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population. Chronocentrism is primarily the belief that a certain state of humanity is superior to all previous and/or future times.
Ageism may also lead to the development of fears towards certain age groups, particularly: Pedophobia, the fear of infants and children; Ephebiphobia, the fear of youth,[10] sometimes also referred as an irrational fear of adolescents or a prejudice against teenagers;[11] and Gerontophobia, the fear of elderly people.[12]
There are several forms of ageism which fall under two general categories: prejudicial ageism, or the negative stereotyping of people on the basis of age, and discriminatory ageism, or denying people opportunities on the basis of age.[3]
Implicit ageism is the term used to refer to the implicit or unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors one has about younger or older people. These may be a mixture of positive and negative thoughts and feelings, but gerontologist Becca Levy reports that they "tend to be mostly negative." [13]
One way that implicit or explicit ageism may manifest is through the use of patronizing language with older or younger people. The term "patronizing language" specifically describes two negative methods of communication: overaccommodation, which consists of a person being excessively courteous and speaking simple and short sentences very loudly and slowly to an older or younger person, with an exaggerated tone and high pitch; and baby talk, which involves practically the same uncomplicated speech with an exaggerated pitch and tone that one uses when talking to a baby, differing in the content of the speech. These tend to downplay the serious and thoughtful contributions of older or younger persons to society, while reinforcing a negative image of them as dependent people with deficiencies in intellect, cognitive and physical performance, and other areas required for autonomous, daily functioning. People who engage in this type of speech treat older members of society as if they have regressed to an infantile state, or treat younger members of society as if they have never progressed beyond an infantile state.[14]
Ageist stereotyping is a tool of cognition which involves categorizing into groups and attributing characteristics to these groups. Stereotypes are necessary for processing huge volumes of information which would otherwise overload a person, and they are often based on a "grain of truth" (for example, the association between aging and ill health). However, they cause harm when the content of the stereotype is incorrect with respect to most of the group or where a stereotype is so strongly held that it overrides evidence which shows that an individual does not conform to it. Stereotypes are used to interpret the world around us. For example, age-based stereotypes prime one to draw very different conclusions when one sees an older and a younger adult with, say, back pain or a limp. One might well assume that the younger person's condition is temporary and treatable, following an accident, while the older person's condition is chronic and less susceptible to intervention. On average, this might be true, but plenty of older people have accidents and recover quickly. This assumption may have no consequence if one makes it in the blink of an eye as one is passing someone in the street, but if it is held by a health professional offering treatment or managers thinking about occupational health, it could inappropriately influence their actions and lead to age-related discrimination. Another example is when people are rude to children because of their high pitched voice, even if they are kind and courteous. This occurs mostly online, since the ageists are anonymous.
Ageist prejudice is a type of emotion which is often linked to the cognitive process of stereotyping. It can involve the expression of derogatory attitudes, which may then lead to the use of discriminatory behavior. The Weakest Link example (see below) helps to explain the difference between stereotyping and prejudice. Where older contestants were rejected in the belief that they were poor performers, this could well be the result of stereotyping. But older people were also voted for at the stage in the game where it made sense to target the best performers. This can only be explained by a subconscious emotional reaction to older people; in this case, the prejudice took the form of distaste and a desire to exclude oneself from the company of older people.
Stereotyping and prejudice against different groups in society does not take the same form. Age-based prejudice and stereotyping usually involves older people being pitied, marginalized, or patronized. This is described as "benevolent prejudice" because the tendency to pity is linked to seeing older people as "friendly" but "incompetent." This is similar to the prejudice most often directed against women and disabled people. Age Concern's survey revealed strong evidence of "benevolent prejudice." 48% said that over-70s are viewed as friendly (compared to 27% who said the same about under-30s). Meanwhile, only 26% believe over-70s are viewed as capable (with 41% saying the same about under-30s).[15]
"Hostile prejudice" based on hatred, fear, or threat (which often characterizes attitudes linked to race, religion, and sexual orientation) is less common with respect to the elderly, though is very common with respect to youth. But there are examples, including excessive rhetoric regarding intergenerational competition, and violence against vulnerable older people, which can be motivated by subconscious hostility or fear. Equality campaigners are often wary of drawing comparisons between different forms of inequality. But it is unquestionably true that abuse and neglect experienced by vulnerable older people (which is closely linked to hostile prejudice) kills more people each year than the shocking but relatively isolated cases of public violence motivated by race, religion, or sexual orientation.
The impact of "benevolent" and "hostile" prejudice can be equally severe but tends to be different. The warmth felt towards older people means there is often public acceptance that they are deserving of preferential treatment--for example, concessionary travel. But the perception of incompetence means older people can be seen as "not up to the job" or "a menace on the roads," when there is no evidence to support this. Benevolent prejudice also leads to assumptions that it is "natural" for older people to have lower expectations, reduced choice and control, and less account taken of their views.
Age discrimination refers to the actions taken to deny or limit opportunities to people on the basis of age. These are usually actions taken as a result of one's ageist beliefs and attitudes. Age discrimination occurs on both a personal and institutional level.[3]
On a personal level, an older person may be told that he or she is too old to engage in certain physical activities, like an informal game of basketball between friends and family, while a younger person may be told that he or she is too young to engage in certain social activities, like going to an unsupervised party.
On an institutional level, there are policies and regulations in place that limit opportunities to people of certain ages and deny them to all others. The law, for instance, requires that all young persons must be at least 16 years old in order to obtain a driver's license in the United States. There are also government regulations that determine when a worker may retire. Presently, in the US, a worker must be 66 years and 2 months old before becoming eligible for normal retirement.[16]
A 2006/2007 survey done by the Children's Rights Alliance for England and the National Children's Bureau asked 4,060 children and young people whether they have ever been treated unfairly based on various criteria (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, etc). A total of 43% of British youth surveyed reported experiencing discrimination based on their age, far eclipsing other categories of discrimination like sex (27%), race (11%), or sexual orientation (6%). [17]
Ageism has significant effects in two particular sectors: employment and health care.
The concept of ageism was originally developed to refer to prejudice and discrimination against older people. Over time, this association between discrimination and old age has been expanded by evidence that suggests prejudice and discrimination in employment can occur to a worker of any age.[15]
Like racial and gender discrimination, age discrimination, at least when it affects younger workers, can result in unequal pay for equal work. Unlike racial and gender discrimination, however, age discrimination in wages is often enshrined in law. For example, in both the United States[18] and the United Kingdom[19] minimum wage laws allow for employers to pay lower wages to young workers. Many state and local minimum wage laws mirror such an age-based, tiered minimum wage. Outside of the law, older workers, on average, make more than younger workers do. Firms may be afraid to offer older workers lower wages than they offer to younger workers.
Therefore, younger workers may face more statistical discrimination from employers than older workers. Statistical discrimination refers to limiting the employment opportunities of an individual based on stereotypes of a group to which the person belongs. Limited employment opportunities could come in the form of lower pay for equal work or jobs with little social mobility. Younger female workers may be more statistically discriminated against than older female workers, for example, because it is socially expected that, as young women of childbearing years, they will need to leave the work force periodically to have children.[20]
Labor regulations also limit the age at which people are allowed to work and how many hours and under what conditions they may work. In the United States, a person must generally be at least 14 years old to seek a job, and workers face additional restrictions on their work activities till they reach age 16.[21] Many companies refuse to hire workers younger than 18.
Young workers over 18 may also have a hard time finding a white-collar job because the maximum age for some professional occupations is set as low as 30 by employers. After these workers finish obtaining the necessary professional degrees, they may have only a few years, at most, to get into a position without being too old. The upward mobility in these same jobs starts to diminish once the workers reach the age of 40. A worker who gets a job at age 30 may only work about ten years before his chances of promotion begin to dwindle.[15]
While older workers benefit more often from higher wages than do younger workers, they face barriers in promotions and hiring. Employers may also encourage early retirement or layoffs disproportionately more for older or more experienced workers.
Age discrimination in hiring has been shown to exist in the United States. Joanna Lahey, economics professor at Texas A&M University, found that firms are more than 40% more likely to interview a younger job applicant than an older job applicant.[22]
In a survey for the University of Kent, England, 29% of respondents stated that they had suffered from age discrimination. This is a higher proportion than for gender or racial discrimination. Dominic Abrams, social psychology professor at the university, concluded that ageism is the most pervasive form of prejudice experienced in the UK population.[23]
According to Dr. Robert M. McCann, an associate professor of management communication at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, denigrating older workers, even if only subtly, can have an outsized negative impact on employee productivity and corporate profits. For American corporations, age discrimination can lead to significant expenses. In Fiscal Year 2006, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received nearly 17,000 charges of age discrimination, resolving more than 14,000 and recovering $51.5 million in monetary benefits. Costs from lawsuit settlements and judgments can run into the millions, most notably with the $250 million paid by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) under a settlement agreement in 2003.[24][25]
There is considerable evidence of discrimination against the elderly in health care. This is particularly true for aspects of the physician-patient interaction, such as screening procedures, information exchanges, and treatment decisions. In the patient-physician interaction, physicians and other health care providers may hold attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that are associated with ageism against older patients. Studies have found that physicians often do not seem to show any care or concern toward treating the medical problems of older people. Then, when actually interacting with these older patients on the job, the doctors sometimes view them with disgust and describe them in negative ways, such as "depressing" or "crazy."[14] For screening procedures, elderly people are less likely than younger people to be screened for cancers and, due to the lack of this preventative measure, less likely to be diagnosed at early stages of their conditions.[26]
After being diagnosed with a disease that may be potentially curable, older people are further discriminated against. Though there may be surgeries or operations with high survival rates that might cure their condition, older patients are less likely than younger patients to receive all the necessary treatments. It has been posited that this is because doctors fear their older patients are not physically strong enough to tolerate the curative treatments and are more likely to have complications during surgery that may end in death. However, other studies have been done with patients with heart disease, and, in these cases, the older patients were still less likely to receive further tests or treatments, independent of the severity of their health problems. Thus, the approach to the treatment of older people is concentrated on managing the disease rather than preventing or curing it. This is based on the stereotype that it is the natural process of aging for the quality of health to decrease, and, therefore, there is no point in attempting to prevent the inevitable decline of old age.[14][26]
Such differential medical treatment of elderly people can have significant effects on their health outcomes.
Ageism has significant effects on the elderly. The stereotypes and infantilization of older people by patronizing language affects older people's self-esteem and behaviors. After repeatedly hearing a stereotype that older people are useless, older people may begin to feel like dependent, non-contributing members of society. They may start to perceive themselves in terms of the looking-glass self--that is, in the same ways that others in society see them. Studies have also specifically shown that when older people hear these stereotypes about their supposed incompetence and uselessness, they perform worse on measures of competence and memory. These stereotypes then become self-fulfilling prophecies. Older people may also engage in self-stereotypes, or taking their culture's age stereotypes to which they have been exposed over the life course and directing them inward toward themselves. Then this behavior reinforces the present stereotypes and treatment of the elderly.[13][14]
Many overcome these stereotypes and live the way they want, but it can be difficult to avoid deeply ingrained prejudice, especially if one has seen others express ageist views before growing older.
This is not to say, however, that it has no effect on the young. It too can have the same effects as ageism towards the elderly.
It is very difficult to measure ageism. Very few studies have been conducted on the topic, and those that have tend to leave out some forms of ageism, such as implicit ageism and self-stereotyped ageism. These two forms are particularly hard to conceptualize. Of the studies that have attempted to measure the concept of ageism, many have been met with significant scrutiny because there are several factors, such as the social desirability bias, that may cloud the data.[13]
In Freakonomics, Stephen Levitt's surprise hit of 2005, the study of hidden (or "implicit") ageism was brought out of the psychologist's laboratory and into the TV studio. Levitt described how, in the US version of The Weakest Link, contestants' voting decisions were, on average, biased against older panelists. At the stage of the game where it is in participants' interests to vote for poor performers, older people were likely to be chosen even when younger adults had performed worse. But when contestants would benefit by choosing top-performing rivals (to eliminate the competition), they tended to choose lower-performing, older contestants. Subconsciously, the panelists simply did not want to be around older people.[27]
In the US, each state may have its own laws regarding age discrimination. In California, the Fair Employment and Housing Act permits discrimination against persons under the age of 40. The FEHA is the principal California statute prohibiting employment discrimination, covering employers, labor organizations, employment agencies, apprenticeship programs and/or any person or entity who aids, abets, incites, compels, or coerces the doing of a discriminatory act. In addition to age, it prohibits employment discrimination based on race or color; religion; national origin or ancestry, physical disability; mental disability or medical condition; marital status; sex or sexual orientation; and pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.[28]
The federal government governs age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The ADEA prohibits employment discrimination based on age with respect to employees 40 years of age or older as well.[29] The ADEA also addresses the difficulty older workers face in obtaining new employment after being displaced from their jobs, arbitrary age limits.[30] The ADEA applies even if some of the minimum 20 employees are overseas and working for a US corporation.[31]
The United States federal government has responded to issues of ageism in governance through several measures in the past. They include the creation of the 1970s-era National Commission on Resources for Youth, which was created in the late 1960s as to promote youth participation throughout communities. Recently the federal government implemented the Tom Osborne Federal Youth Coordination Act, aiming to curb redundancy among federal service providers to youth.
Other countries that have laws addressing ageism include Australia, Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
Some countries have enacted anti-discriminatory laws against ageism, usually associating them with other hate crime motivations like racism, sexual orientation or religious intolerance.
In the United States, thirteen states define age as a specific motivation for hate crimes - California, District of Columbia, Florida, Iowa, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York and Vermont.[32][33]
The European citizenship provides the right to protection from discrimination on the grounds of age. According to Article 21-1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union [6], "any discrimination based on any ground such as (…) age, shall be prohibited"[34].
In the Francophone world, discrimination based on age is often classified as a hate crime and/or legally deemed an aggravating circumstance.
In France, Articles 225-1 thru 225-4 of the Penal Code detail the penalization of ageism, when it comes to an age discrimination related to the consumption of a good or service, to the exercise of an economic activity, to the labor market or an internship, except in the cases foreseen in Article 225-3.[35][36]
In Canada, Article 718.2, clause (a)(i), of the Criminal Code defines as aggravating circumstances, among other situations, "evidence that the offence was motivated by ....age"[37].
In Belgium, the Law of Feb. 25, 2003 "tending to fight discrimination" punishes ageism when "a difference of treatment that lacks objective and reasonable justification is directly based on …. age". Discrimination is forbidden when it refers to providing or offering a good or service, to conditions linked to work or employment, to the appointment or promotion of an employee, and yet to the access or participation in "an economic, social, cultural or political activity accessible to the public" (Article 2nd, § 4). Incitement to discrimination, to hatred or to violence against a person or a group on the grounds of (…) age (Article 6) is punished with imprisonment and/or a fine.[38]
Many current and historical intergenerational and youth programs have been created to address the issue of ageism. Among the advocacy organizations created in the United Kingdom to challenge age discrimination are Age Concern, the British Youth Council and Help the Aged.
In the United States there have been several historic and current efforts to challenge ageism. The earliest example may be the Newsboys Strike of 1899, which fought ageist employment practices targeted against youth by large newspaper syndicates in the Northeast. During the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was active in the national youth movement, including the formation of the National Youth Administration and the defense of the American Youth Congress. She made several statements on behalf of youth and against ageism. In one report entitled, "Facing the Problems of Youth," Roosevelt said of youth,
Students for a Democratic Society formed in 1960 to promote democratic opportunities for all people regardless of age, and the Gray Panthers was formed in the early 1970s with a goal of eliminating ageism in all forms.[40] Three O'Clock Lobby formed in 1976 to promote youth participation throughout traditionally ageist government structures in Michigan, while Youth Liberation of Ann Arbor started in 1970 to promote youth and fight ageism.
More recent U.S. programs include Americans for a Society Free from Age Restrictions, which formed in 1996 to advance the civil and human rights of young people through eliminating ageist laws targeted against young people, and to help youth counter ageism in America.[41] The National Youth Rights Association started in 1998 to promote awareness of the legal and human rights of young people in the United States,[42] and the Freechild Project was formed in 2001 to identify, unify and promote diverse opportunities for youth engagement in social change by fighting ageism.
In a recent interview, actor Pierce Brosnan cited ageism as one of the contributing factors as to why he was not asked to continue his role as James Bond in the Bond film Casino Royale, released in 2006.[47]
Also, successful singer and actress, Madonna spoke out in her 50s about ageism and her fight to defy the norms of society.[48]
Had John McCain succeeded in his 2008 campaign for President, he would have been the oldest President in American history. Discussions about his age dogged McCain during his failed run, and whether or not the criticism of McCain qualified as unfair 'ageist' allegations or legitimate points of view was hotly debated.[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] McCain himself frequently made fun of the criticisms, in one instance pretending to fall asleep when asked about his age.[56]
A 2007 Pew Research Center study found that a majority of American voters would be less likely to vote for a President past a given age, with only 45% saying that age would not matter.[50]
Ageism is when an older person is treated badly simply because of their age. Ageism can be discrimination by one person or by a part of society as a group. Discrimination is when somebody is left out or abused/bullied by somebody who doesn't like something about them. E.g. their facial features, their height, their skin etc.

"She's just the babysitter!"
No, she's a liability.
The costs of a lawsuit with hired help may be too much for your pocketbook to bear. To keep liabilities at bay, you need to determine what kind of help you've hired, and then obtain the correct coverage to protect against liabilities.
Types of Household Help
- Individuals hired through an outside firm such as chefs or nurses
- Determine if the individual is your employee or an employee of the firm.
- Obtain a copy of the firm's certificates of insurance documenting that the firm has workers' compensation insurance for its employees. If the organization also has health and disability insurance for its employees, then hired help injured on your property will receive medical treatment through their employer.
2. Occasional employees such as babysitters or youngsters who rake your leaves
- If you hire individuals for occasional jobs for your home, you should evaluate your Homeowners or Renters insurance policy to determine whether you have enough liability coverage.
- Consider getting more liability insurance by raising your existing amount or purchasing an Umbrella (also known as Excess) Liability policy.
- Learn more about the no-fault medical coverage within your Homeowners insurance policy. This coverage allows you to submit medical claims to your insurance company if someone gets injured on your property (other than immediate family members). Most people tend to only buy $1,000 worth of this coverage, yet you may want to increase that amount to $5,000 for added protection.
3. Permanent full-time or part-time hired help
- If you hire individuals to come work at your home on a regular basis, consult an attorney regarding tax deductions and workers' compensation issues. Then, contact your insurance agent to purchase a workers' compensation policy. This will provide protection for medical care and rehabilitation for injured hired help. It will also cover lost wages if individuals get hurt and cannot work, and death benefits for their beneficiaries.
Covering all Your Bases
If you have any hired help at your home, then you may need increased liability coverage, Medical Payments coverage, additional automobile coverage (for employees driving your personal vehicles) or even Reputational Injury coverage to safeguard against liabilities.
If you need to obtain workers' compensation insurance and do not purchase it, your Homeowners policy will not cover damages or penalties brought against you.
The Basics
Individuals who hire residential help such as butlers, chauffeurs, chefs, gardeners, housekeepers, nannies, babysitters, personal assistants and security personnel must be covered under an insurance policy. This will protect you against litigation for wrongful termination, sexual harassment, employment discrimination, injuries to your character (reputation) and personal injuries. As the need for household help increases, there will always be a need for coverage to protect against allegations and litigation.

Countless more will be injured, ranging from mild to severe.

Homemade Christmas Decorations!
Glitter swirl bauble
Get yourself some cheapy cheap plain baubles. I think Poundland do some, but I got 30 from Tesco for £2.80 (ish) because we didn't have any for the tree! You will also need some glitter glue (or glue plus glitter). You can get three bottles of glitter glue in Poundland for... £1. ;)
All you do is draw a pattern onto one half of the bauble using the glitter glue. To do the swirls, draw one coming down from the top, then add another coming off that one, and so on until you fill the space. Instead of swirls, you could draw stars or snowflakes if you like.
Then leave it to dry overnight and do the other half the next day. (To dry the baubles, I cut some toilet roll tubes in half and balanced the baubles on them - pretty sturdy!)
Fabric bauble
This one's a little more complicated than the glitter baubles, but they still only take about fifteen minutes.
Cut out two shapes from your favourite fabric, leaving a 5mm seam allowance. I used heart and star shapes, but Christmas trees could work too.
To embellish the bauble, I used a piece of ribbon and a button on the front. If you'd like to do that too, position the ribbon over the right side of one of the pieces of fabric and pin it into place. Next sew your button into place, remembering that it will be closer to the sides both because of the seam allowance and because it will be stuffed.
Pin the two pieces of fabric together with the right sides (and button/ribbon) facing in. Make a loop of ribbon or twine and position it in the top centre of the bauble, with the loop facing down between the fabric and the ends of the ribbon pointing up and out (see my Advent calendar posts if you don't know what I mean).
Sew the two pieces together leaving a 5cm gap along one edge for turning and stuffing. Make sure the gap isn't where the ribbon is or you're making the final seam much more difficult for yourself!
Turn the fabric right side out and fill with stuffing or scraps of material.Using small pieces to stuff will give a more consistent shape overall.
Use a ladder stitch to close the seam of the bauble.
I made some paperchains instead of tinsel, as you can see in the photos! :) Also the Advent calendar is hanging in our living room as a bit of additional festive decoration.
Do you make your own Christmas decorations? Post a link below if you've done some Christmas crafting!

I've been building up my decorations over the last 8 years since grandchildren arrived, and things needed to be child-proof. I've made the felt hearts with the grandchildren's names on one side and a snowflake on the back. I also got a free gift of a small garland with a craft magazine and made this, it's really pretty, has jingle bells on it and I've kept the templates I made so that I can make more for next year if we need them. I buy a few little bits of decorations each year, then it isn't too expensive. One thing that I have done this year is to put a lot of shiny baubles into a big vase - I have a big round vase and a tall vase on a stem, they look lovely in the hall and cost me £5 for the baubles - the vases I already had. There were loads of baubles, I got them from Asda.

I love the swirly baubles! They look so professional (and that's a really nice photo, too). And the heart looks sweet, too. Makes me want to sew up a bunch and hand them off doorknobs everywhere.
I have a new obsession today: walnuts. Wouldn't they look lovely on a tree? With a bit of glitter? It's a shame I don't really like eating them, though...

Love your ornaments. I just bought some similar baubles like the ones you made (red with gold glitter on them) and they were $6 apiece but they are very large and I put a gold ribbon through each one and hung them on my porch awning instead of on the tree.
Yours are the very same design. I haven't made or bought any new decorations for Christmas in a few years and just wanted something new and different to decorate outside with. I should have waited a few days to see yours and then I might have tried to make them myself. You are very talented!

Gibraltar Airport, GibraltarJuly 31st, 2007 / / Links: Google Earth, Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Virtual Earth / Nearest places
Probably the only airport in the world to have a public road run across the runway.
Gibraltar Airport (IATA: GIB, ICAO: LXGB) is the only airport in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar on the Iberian Peninsula. It is owned by the Ministry Of Defence. Civilian operators use the airport; currently the only scheduled flights operate to the United Kingdom and Spain. Passengers depart and arrive through the civilian operated terminal.
Gibraltar Airport has the distinction of being the closest international airport to the city that it serves, being only 500 metres from Gibraltar's city centre. In 2004 the airport handled 314,375 passengers and 380 tonnes of cargo. Gibraltar Airport is one of the few Class A airports in the world.
The airport was constructed during World War II upon the colony's race course (introduced by the Maltese), when Gibraltar was an important naval base for the British. Originally opened in 1939, it was only an emergency airfield for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. However, it was later extended by reclaiming some land, allowing larger aircraft to land.
Spain's continuing sovereignty dispute with the United Kingdom over the territory where the airport stands (different to the generic one on Gibraltar itself) has seriously affected the airport's operations. In December 2, 1987, an agreement was signed between the governments of the United Kingdom and Spain to allow the joint civil use of the airport . The agreement foresaw the building of a new terminal at La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, Spain, adjacent to the northern side of the existing frontier-fence. However, the agreement was blocked by the Government of Gibraltar, led from 1988, by Joe Bossano. As a result, the agreement was never implemented.
Since then, Spain successfully excluded Gibraltar from European wide de-regulation initiatives, preventing direct links from Gibraltar to the rest of the European Union (except the UK), on the grounds that no regulation that somehow recognizes the sovereignty of the United Kingdom over the isthmus may be implemented without a previous agreement on the airport.
By late 2005 and early 2006, the implementation of a new agreement, sort of a refurbished version of the 1987 agreement, is one of the main topics of the tri-partite talks being held between the Governments of Spain, Gibraltar and the United Kingdom.
On 18 September 2006, the Cordoba Accord was signed by the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Spain and Gibraltar. This ended all discriminatory restrictions on civilian flights to Gibraltar Airport, including the prohibition of flights over Spanish soil, and exclusion of Gibraltar from all EU agreements on air transport, allowing civilian flights from all nations into Gibraltar Airport.
On 17 November 2006, Iberia announced that it would start flights from Madrid to Gibraltar using Airbus A319 aircraft. This is a landmark move as no Spanish airline has flown to Gibraltar since 1979, because of its disputed status.
The first Iberia flight landed at Gibraltar Airport on December 16, 2006 from Madrid with some members of the Spanish Government onboard. British Airways operated a one-off flight in the other direction with a group of children from Gibraltar making up some of the passengers, and since May 2007 has been running a regular service between Madrid and Gibraltar.

His work has appeared in Computer Currents, The Examiner, The Spruce, and other publications. Updated November 10, 2017 The iPad has a number of good accessories for vocalists and DJs, including a couple of DJ stations that can give you the tactile feel of turntables alongside the digital power of the iPad. For singers, there's the choice between an iPad-compatible microphone, an adapter to hook in your own studio-quality microphone, or even a docking station that will allow most microphones and instruments to be hooked into the iPad. iRig Mic Courtesy of Amazon The iRig Mic is a microphone designed specifically for the iPhone and iPad. The microphone plugs into the headphone jack and works alongside IK Multimedia software like VocalLive and iRig Recorder. It will also work with any other vocal or recording apps for the iPad. Those wanting to use it with a microphone stand can use the iKlip to clip their iPad to their microphone stand. iDJ Live II Courtesy of Amazon iRig Mix is nice, but if you really want to transform your iPad into a DJ station, iDJ Live II might be a better fit. This portable rig features a dual turntable setup with a central mixer. The system interacts with your iPad, allowing you to pull music from your library and power the station with the djay app. You can also use iDJ Live for video mashups using vjay. iRig Pre The iRig Mic is fine if you want to buy a microphone for your iPad, but most singers already have a microphone. Or two. Or three. There's no need to add one more to the collection just to hook into the iPad. The iRig Pre provides an XLR microphone interface for your iPhone or iPad. And in addition to just getting connected, the adapter includes a 48v Phantom Power feature running on a 9v battery so you can hook in a condenser microphone and not worry about the drain on your iPad's power. Apogee MiC Another solid microphone for the iPad is made by Apogee. The MiC has a "studio quality" capsule and a built in preamp to give the vocals a boost. In addition to Garage Band, Apogee's MiC is compatible with other apps like Anytune, iRecorder, and Loopy among others. Alesis iO Dock Pro The iO Dock is designed to be a docking station for musicians. The unit includes an XLR input and phantom power for condenser microphones. It also has a 1/4-inch input for electric and bass guitars or simply plugging the output from your mixer into the docking station to use your iPad as a recording studio. iO Dock also includes MIDI in and out, so you can hook up any MIDI device and make use of the many MIDI-compliant apps on the iPad. This makes the iO Dock a good solution for the multi-talented musician or the band looking to make use of solid studio software without spending an arm and a leg. iRig Mix iRig Mix can be used with a single iPhone or iPad, utilizing the input to add a microphone or instrument into the mix, or with dual devices in a more traditional DJ setup. The unit can be powered by a battery, an AC power supply or via a USB cable plugged into a PC and it is designed to work alongside apps like DJ Rig, AmpliTube, VocaLive, and GrooveMaker. Numark iDJ Pro A step up from iDJ Live is Numark's iDJ Pro. This unit takes the same idea Numark used with iDJ Live and turns it into more of a professional workstation. This unit includes RCA inputs, a microphone input, balanced XLR outputs and headphone outputs. Whereas iDJ Live can be great at practice and at parties, iDJ Pro aims to bring the party to the club.

After filing for divorce from Brad Pitt on September 19, 2016, Jolie retreated from the spotlight to focus on her family as they work to heal from the traumatic split. "I guess I am a little bit stronger", the actress, director and philanthropist tells PEOPLE exclusively in an interview for the magazine's new cover story.
We think this goes without saying!
"I was able to say, you have a job, get over here, help me with this..."
The teen, who served as an executive producer on Jolie's new movie, First They Killed My Father, earned high marks of approval from his Hollywood mainstay mom.
'I have had my ups and downs.More news: Perez Dodges Questions About Supporting Single-Payer Health Care
More news: Okami HD Release Date Revealed for PC, PS4, Xbox One
More news: Google Appeals £2.2bn EU Antitrust Fine For Search Abuse
Speaking about how the movie came about, Jolie said she and Loung penned the script years ago and they finally decided to make the movie keeping in mind Maddox's role in the movie. Radiant, the trio has made an appearance remarkable, then, that the journalists all had the same question on the lips: kids Jolie-Pitt are planning to launch them-also in the cinema? "I could be dreaming, but if I continue to do this job, I would love to work with my children if they choose to be in this business", she confided in parallel to Vanity Fair.
'If I've done nothing i their life but be their mom, I'm good, ' she added.
But she also says the film, in select theaters and on Netflix on Friday, represents events happening elsewhere now, including Syria and Myanmar. "That there was going to have to be another base regardless of everything", Jolie tells The New York Times while discussing her California estate.
Loung Un and two of the film's stars with Angelina Jolie and her children on the red carpet. I'm really sitting and talking with them because everything affects them. "It's happy Happy and light, and we needed that".
While it's not the norm for A-List parents to want their kids to work in their industry, we can't help but think a movie starring Ange and her handsome brood would be incredible. I am proud to be a Cambodian", admitted the man they call "Mad'.

Act of God?
We were entertained at this Metro News story of an American campaigner against LGBT rights who claims natural disasters are sent by God to punish homosexuality. Also here on the Huffington Post.
You can guess who's been flooded out…
We were entertained at this Metro News story of an American campaigner against LGBT rights who claims natural disasters are sent by God to punish homosexuality. Also here on the Huffington Post.
You can guess who's been flooded out…
News blog the Huffington Post has got a story about a former actor on BBC soap opera Eastenders. Yet the headline might raise an eyebrow after the Huff's shift from "Gay voices" to "Queer" as to how deep the change is.
runs the main headline, followed by sub-header
Oh dear. Come along Huff, we know you can do better!
We picked up another couple of bi celeb headlines this week, as Sharon Osbourne and Katie Hopkins both talked about their attractions in the press.
The X Factor judge Sharon commented that she felt it was "too late" to explore her sexuality. On American chat show The Talk she put it that, "I always think everybody is gay – so am I. I am not a little bit gay, I am extremely interested in the fact of what I missed out on. But it is too late now." Not using the B word in itself but otherwise sounding strongly in the bisexual camp.
Many people coming out either later in life or in a stable monogamous relationship might relate to that feeling. The silly notion that you are only bi if you have dated at least "one of each" holds some of them back from owning the word bisexual for themselves.
Meanwhile Katie Hopkins got bi headlines too, though for a rather less committed claim. The Mirror excitedly declared her bisexual after she said she would "swing both ways" given the chance in a BBC interview, but this led to a rapid retraction to the Metro.
The original giggly declaration did sound rather like flirting with the idea of experimentation rather than a meaningful outing: an "I'd try" rather than "I desire".
So that's Sharon onto our team and Katie still playing for one of the others. What will next week bring?
The Sun reports on Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson coming out as bisexual, here.
It's a positive story in that it reflects a journey of finding your identity, having always found women attractive but not had the courage or understanding to own the "bi" label.
There is also a side story of telling people you think you might be bi in a somewhat jokey way, judging their responses and deciding whether it is safe to come out as a consequence.
We think a lot of bi people can relate to those experiences.
