NEW YORK – Oil gave back the gains it made in the past few trading days on Wednesday following discouraging economic news.
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for July delivery lost $2.41, or 2.4 percent, to settle at $100.29 per barrel Wednesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices slipped after economic reports showed motorists buying less fuel, private employers adding fewer jobs than expected and U.S. manufacturing growth slowing dramatically.
In London, Brent crude fell $2.20 to settle at $114.53 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
Oil has wavered around $100 per barrel during the past few weeks. It's come down from highs set in early May following concerns that high fuel prices were putting too much pressure on the economy.
Payroll processor ADP added to those concerns Wednesday. The group said private employers created just 38,000 jobs in May, down from 177,000 in April. That's the weakest number since September. The government unemployment report for May is due out Friday.
The Institute for Supply Management reported that U.S. manufacturing hit the brakes in March with the sharpest monthly decline in growth since 1984. The ISM index of manufacturing for May slipped to 53.5 percent from 60.4 in April.
"The manufacturing sector was one bright spot for the economy," PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said. "It was really pushing the economy along. Now we're wondering what's going to be driving things."
MasterCard SpendingPulse also reported that retail gasoline demand in the U.S. fell for the 10th consecutive week. Its survey estimated that Americans bought 389.2 million gallons of gasoline per day, on average. That's 2 percent less than the same week last year.
Oil was pulled even lower as the dollar rose in afternoon trading. Crude is priced in dollars and becomes more expensive as the greenback strengthens relative to foreign currencies.
In addition, global crude supplies are growing as oil operations in Iraq continue to recover from the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organization said the country's oil exports averaged 2.225 million barrels per day in May, up from 2.14 million barrels per day in April.
For the next few weeks at least, investors and energy economists will keep a closer eye on SpendingPulse and other reports that estimate how much Americans are driving. U.S. highways are usually filled with vacationers during the summer, but analysts think travel will be impacted this year as soaring fuel prices squeeze family budgets.
"Summer is a real boom time for energy markets," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. This year though he said a lot of people may want to keep their cars at home. "And I'm not sure if gas prices dropping from $4 to $3 per gallon is going to convince them to hop back in the car," Lynch added.
Consumers also may be dealing with higher gasoline prices in other ways.
Oil analyst Stephen Schork noted that Bureau of Economic Analysis data show that sales of used cars rose in April from March while sales of new cars declined. "Consumers are likely scaling back on new cars and putting that money toward their gasoline bills," Schork said.
Carmakers released May sales figures Wednesday. Both GM and Ford reported lower sales overall. Analysts expect total U.S. auto sales to fall 4 percent compared to a year ago.
Meanwhile, U.S. gasoline prices continue to drop. The national average declined for the 20th day to $3.775 per gallon ($1 a liter), according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. A gallon of regular is $1.05 higher than the same time last year.
In other Nymex trading for July contracts, heating oil gave up 4.43 cents to settle at $3.0087 per gallon and gasoline futures fell 7.30 cents to settle at $2.9773 per gallon. Natural gas lost 3.7 cents to settle at $4.629 per 1,000 cubic feet.

If you have really been having a hard time finding girls of your dreams – we are talking about total 10 knockouts here – then the odds are pretty good that you've been looking in all the wrong places.
Sure, gorgeous women are all around us each and every single day – but there are specific locations that real beauties frequent much more often than other!
If you want to land one of these diamonds in the rough you need to put yourself in the position to do so. Without any further chick-talk, here are 9 of the very best areas to meet jaw-dropping lovely ladies on a regular basis!
Place #1 – Local Community College
Your local community college (or, if your area supports major universities) is always going to be a fantastic possibility to get to know some of the hottest chicks you'll ever see.
All of these are between 18 – 22 (and maybe just a bit older), guaranteeing that they are in the prime of their lives – and just starting to discover all of their sexuality!
Remember: We are talking about women that are knockouts through and through, young enough to have all the energy you need but old enough to give you the ride of your life! If you're trying to find hot ladies, you will want to check out the local college and universities for sure!
Place #2 – The Bookstore
The bookstore is another fantastic place to meet gorgeous chicks. However, these are not just the physical beauties that you'll see anywhere but they have a hidden intelligence about them that is exciting, intriguing, and truly sexy!
These aren't the kind of girls that you will find falling out of bar stools on the weekends, but instead those that are moving forward towards real goals and making something of their lives. All sexy, driven, motivated and ambitious women that also happened to be a rather good-looking as well!
Place #3 – The Dog Park
Your local dog park is a place that you want to check out when you're trying to meet beautiful ladies. Girls there are fun, playful, and loyal – much like their little furry family members that they have brought for a bit of an exercise!
It's even better if you bring your dog to the park, especially if it gets along well with their little pooch. All you have to do is recommend that you get together in the future for more pet play dates, and eventually you'll find the petting in the future to have absolutely nothing to do with your dogs!
Place #4 – Shopping Malls
You'd be hard-pressed to find even a single woman on the planet who doesn't enjoy going out with their girlfriends and getting in a bit of shopping.
Luckily, this has the added benefit of all but guaranteeing that you'll be able to meet packs of gorgeous women!
Remember: Yes, that's right, you're going to need to approach lovely girls in groups when you find them at the shopping mall. However, if your game is tight, and you have something to offer, it's an extra hidden benefit because of the extreme confidence that this kind of a move conveys!
Place #5 – The Wedding Parties
There is just something about a wedding that brings out the best in women, getting them all jacked up and excited by the prospect of some weekend romance and a hookup.
On top of time, absolutely no one wants to look awful in a dress or down! The odds are fantastic that these ladies have been doing absolutely everything they can to get in top shape!
Pay attention: Combine that with the booze, music, and everyone staying in the same hotel, and you have a perfect combination for some pretty wild times!
Place #6 – The Gym (Including Yoga, Fitness & Pilates Classes)
Yes, you will run into "Project Girls" that are trying to get into the best shape of their lives at the gym but may still have a bit of a way to go.
However, you'll also find absolute knockouts that are already in tip-top condition and just doing everything they can to maintain that gorgeous figure and healthy lifestyle.
Remember: Again, these women are sexy not just because of the way they look but also because of the incredible habits they are following on a regular basis. There's nothing more attractive than a fit naked woman!
Place #7 – The Public Transportation & Subways
Everyone needs to get where they're going, and subway can be a perfect place to run into people who you would never have in the past.
However, you need to be pretty smooth about picking up gorgeous women on public transportation or the subway. They probably been hit on by some creeps in the past, and are going to have natural defenses up just as high as they get.
Again, make sure that your game is tight and you should have no problems – but certainly respect their space if they just aren't feeling it!
Place #8 – Coffee Shops
Coffee shops have become the new bar when it comes to drumming up some fun and romance, mostly because they are so much more casual in the perfect setting for "day dates".
Find a local coffee shop in your neighborhood that you can become a "regular" at, and you'll be able to enjoy a boost of social proof every single time you bring a new girl in!
Place #9 – Night Clubs & Bars
Last, but certainly not least, you can always fall back on the "old standard" of hitting up nightclubs and bars. There, you can pick the gorgeous girls that are taking in all of the nightlife in your city!
You'll need to bring your A-game here as well because there is going to be a tremendous amount of competition for each hot women in a club! You're going to need to do whatever you can to beat them out.

Allergies Home > Side Effects of Zyrtec-D
While most people have no problems with Zyrtec-D, side effects are possible. A few commonly reported side effects include nosebleed, sore throat, insomnia, and dry mouth. Fortunately, most side effects seen with the drug are mild and easily treated. However, side effects that may indicate a problem include rapid heart rate, seizures, and hallucinations.
An Introduction to Side Effects of Zyrtec-DAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with Zyrtec-D® (cetirizine and pseudoephedrine). However, not everyone who takes the drug will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Zyrtec-D. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Zyrtec-D side effects with you.)
Common Zyrtec-D Side EffectsZyrtec-D has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, in which the side effects of a group of people taking the drug are documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
In these studies, the most common side effects of Zyrtec-D included:
- Insomnia -- in up to 4 percent of people (see Zyrtec-D and Insomnia)
- Dry mouth -- up to 3.6 percent (see Zyrtec-D and Dry Mouth)
- Fatigue -- up to 2.4 percent.
Other common side effects (occurring in 1 to 2 percent of people) included:
- Drowsiness
- Sore throat
- Nosebleeds
- Accidental injury
- Dizziness
- Sinus infection.

Open source content filter programs are an essential part of maintaining a business, school or any other institution where the Internet is available, because they censor inappropriate websites. While most open source content filter programs offer the same core features, some features will be required for advanced filtering, while others will make it easier to maintain the filter overall. A dynamic content filter is one that can search out new websites that should be blacklisted, and automatically do so. A blacklisted website may need to be accessed at some point, and filters that can open the one website without having to shut down completely are preferred. Proxy filtering and image filtering also are important.
New websites come out all the time with games, chat and other features that businesses and schools want to block in a bid to keep employees or students productive. While most open source content filter programs have a large index of blacklisted websites and the list is usually updated periodically, it is possible that someone can access a non-blacklisted website. A dynamic filter will look at keywords and files on the website and, if it deems the website inappropriate, will add that website to the blacklist and cut off access.
Websites are blacklisted because they should not be accessed at any time, but it may sometimes be necessary to use one of these websites. For example, if a business partner needs to be contacted quickly and he or she can only be reached through a social networking website, then the filter will need to be lifted. Some filters will have to turn off the entire filter and, in the meantime, other employees or students will have open access to normally banned websites. It is better if the open source content filter can open access to the one website without lifting the whole filter.
To get around an open source content filter, many employees or students use an anonymous proxy. This masks the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer and replaces it with a different one, so the filter does not recognize the IP address. Being masked means the computer is able to bypass the filter. The filter program should come with an index of proxy websites to ensure no one bypasses the filter.
Image filtering is an uncommon but important feature for many open source content filter programs. If someone is able to get around the filter, he or she may be able to open inappropriate images. An image filter scans the image for potential problems and may be able to censor the image.

Reviewed by Nicholas Manning
Edward Foster's New and Selected is once more proof of his often astounding poetic capabilities: sureness of register, intelligence of arrangement, delicacy of emotional patterning, elegance of effect. Which only makes the flaws of What He Ought to Know all the more surprising. And disappointing. The question is perhaps not, finally: how well can Edward Foster write? We know that he can write very well indeed. What seems more pointed is rather: why has Foster chosen to include some of the poems in this volume? Are they simply weaker, or do they rather indicate a different--and for Foster, perhaps equally valuable--aesthetic orientation?
If one had to identify a dominant preoccupation here--and on the one hand, "why?" but on the other, "why not?"--one would no doubt point to the tension everywhere present between knowledge and desire. Desire as a form of knowledge, but also knowledge as a form of desire. Desire as a means of obtaining knowledge, but also knowledge as a modifier of all initial impulses. Thus, we find Thomas Mann quoted above the poem "Watch Hill": "Desire is a result of not knowing enough." (That this desire is homosexual desire has perhaps already been too dwelt upon by critics.)
There is a great tenderness to Edward Foster's verse. Such is his intelligence, however, that he manages to express this tenderness while, if not parodying it, at least undermining it, enabling the reader to see, by means of a profoundly empathetic gaze, the absurdity of everyday intimacies: "What kind of man / rolls over saying (in effect), "'Don't wait on me / to wait on you.'" The elliptical conclusion here, as elsewhere, rings true of an emotion which somewhere, on its way to expression, has lost its way. We see what the speaker means, in a general sense: but the confusion makes us feel that this language is so charged with sentiment that it has become, in a positive way, obscured by it.
This is one example of the subtleties of Foster's verse. In fact, this is the sort of word one often thinks of with regard to these poems: subtlety, nuance, gradation, tone, hue, variation, light. But there is another category of terms as well, equally important, and it is perhaps the complex combination of the two that is interesting: control, balance, order, restraint, arrangement, structure, elegance.
It is precisely this unlikely amalgam which confers upon Foster's poetry its particular beauty: order and arrangement, but also the careful colouring of this order with emotional light:
The hills, we said, were made for tourists. The broken bits of columns, Adonis in his grave. The earth was closed, we'd say, or, then, the boy at least was ill. His face, we knew, would never heal, and women would be kind. He would depend on them. This night, what difference if the words were not the same. I move your hand, and now for all the world, we never change and live in this decision.
What is so refreshing about such pieces is the sheer linguistic, emotional, and imagogical control often absent from the contemporary "prose-prose." The limitation this writing seems to impose upon itself, even during the act of its being set down, means that it remains focused upon its goal, and thus stable in its relentless forward movement.
Foster, then, is capable of writing well: what is surprising is that he his also capable of writing, if not poorly, at least poems strangely lacking in direction. One would be tempted to call these pieces "occasional." Of course, occasional poetry can be very good: one need think only of the brilliant dedicatory vers of a Mallarmé or Apollinaire. But "occasional" here refers rather to a general laxity uncommon to Foster, as in "Careless Love":
You want me to belong
The work is done
All acts are simply acts
The parlor's bright
The guests have gone
All acts are simply acts
We once did things together
You make your choice alone
All acts are simply acts
You choose another carelessly
You make your choice alone
All acts are simply acts
Now, what is aimed at here, we may think, is no doubt the sort of song-like, refrain-based lyricism found in mid to late Yeats. (It is interesting to note, for instance, the almost identical form of Yeats' "Crazy Jane on God," which has as its constant post-stanza refrain "All things remain in God.")
What we get from Foster, however, is a veritable jumble-sale of ideas. Firstly, one need merely point to the bizarrely anachronistic, fin de siècle, listless Eliot moment in: "The parlor's bright / The guests have gone / All acts are simply acts." Thankfully, the guests here are not talking of Michelangelo, but we feel they could be. This moment of emotional anaemia is then followed by a series of love-truisms, which culminate in the moral of the story: "You choose another carelessly / You make your choice alone." The sentiment is trite: we care little for a speaker who expresses in this way a situation so possibly rich in sentimental meaning. Of course, one may argue that this is precisely the lyrical tone Foster was aiming at here. But what does this tone achieve? We may think, for example, that in regurgitating clichés about love ("We once did things together"), Foster is again employing the delicate, faceted irony underplayed so effectively in his other poems. Unfortunately, however, it seems that in this case he is not: this poem is pure surface. There is nothing to indicate a deeper awareness that these expressions are in fact clichés, nothing to indicate the underlying mechanics of the speaker's emotional state. The tone is singular and immutable. Like another failed "song" in the collection, "Wheat From the Chaff," there is little energy here; any initial music is quickly stifled by an absence of tension.
On the page facing "Careless Love," we are treated to a photo of pigeons congregating on ten (or so) urban marble steps. Their black shapes speckle the white locale. This is useless illustration in the worst sense, a moment when Foster's unabashed, often delightful "aestheticism"--by this term we simply mean an explicit valuing of the poem as visual and aural object--takes a turn for the worse, reducing the poem and its (supporting?) image to the status of product, as thin as the paper upon which it is reproduced.
This brings us to the unfortunate issue of Foster's own photos throughout the collection. These photos are not necessarily bad: they are attractive in a picture-postcard sort of way. (Here a tree in a snowy field, there a crepuscular sun over a dark wood.) But their relation to the poems, and to the book as a whole, is at best uncomfortable. To take the example of the first image in the book: we have a poem, "Former Care," which spirals into a beautifully controlled meditation on decay and disappearance: "This stage is bare, / and, sensibly, abstractions mark / the guilt we found in fairy tales." However, beside "Former Care" is a photo of crumbling ruins. This rapprochement is vaguely insulting, for if we are indeed meant to find parallels between the image and its facing text--and this is everywhere implied--then do we not demand a more satisfying parallel than this? Individual dying, thus monument in decay: the image forces us to read "Former Care" in a way which the poem itself does not want to be read: that is, simplistically, isolating one element of its nature to the detriment of other conflicting subtleties. This is all the more unfortunate because "Former Care" is a fine poem: it has no need whatsoever of this type of metaphoric reinforcement.
This is fortunately the case for very few pieces in What He Ought To Know. In the main, these are poems of stunning tension and beauty. Take the first poem of the book, "In Your Words," quoted here in its entirety:
In time, we will not kiss, and your face given into fire will tantalize my dreams, and I will sear my hair as I lean close, looking at your shadow in the smoke. That much will rise, and singing for me then, as you cannot sing now, it will emerge with other songs, in tight unyielding chords.
This is strong passion so strictly controlled, so forced into the regular shapes demanded by expression, that we feel the poem itself has become the song of which the speaker dreams, made of "tight, unyielding chords." The sentiment here, though perhaps initially in conflict with this imposed restraint, is finally strengthened by it, and thus brought to its full fruition.
The variation in forms throughout the volume is effective: Foster's prose is as well-handled as his verse, but it provides us with moments of an entirely different pace and atmosphere. As we follow Foster through Venice, Moscow, and St Petersburg, the prose form reveals itself as being entirely appropriate to these almost journalistic portraits. Mood governs these pieces, the "baroque and Prussian palaces" of St Petersburg and the "islands" of Venice providing the central motor of these veritable hymns to Nostalgia. (Like these "travel pieces," Foster does Ut pictura poesis refreshingly well, as proved by his "Ophelia, And the Reeds, At the Tate").
Sadly, however, the contrasts continue. There are some embarrassing moments of self-reflexivity:
can't be made
to self-destruct,
the way a garden can.
But then, to make up for it, we have poems of such extraordinary force as "The Litany":
And there is nothing to be longer seen.
           Crystals refract
                and darken his sight:
                        desire is the imagined
aspiration he has never seen but always known.
The sheer beauty of these calm and affectionate poems, which are never didactic nor overbearing, and which seem to constantly assert their proud if unassuming presence, is impressive. It is simply regrettable that several times the reader is irritated by errors of judgement which, I would suggest, are of a critical, rather than poetical, nature. Without the weaker pieces, along with the postcards which accompany them, we would be left with a collection of a rare beauty, and of a rare humanity as well.

Recipe Programs? Anyone Know Of Any Good Ones?
Decorating By lauramw71 Updated 3 Apr 2009 , 12:02pm by lizamlin
So I have a bazillion recipes all over the house.. drawers, folders, you name it there's a recipe there. LOL Does anyone know how to create one on the pc? Or what program would be best for it? Something where it can be put into categories and then a search. I'm learning Access now.. trying to think how I can create a program on that. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried searching online and just find ones you buy and right now we're saving every penny for a vehicle so that's out of the question. Any scoop would be great!!!
For a long time I just typed out my recipes in Microsoft Word, but found it was harder to organize them that way since it was pretty much just a list of recipes - plus I never used it. I looked all over for some kind of software I could use for free but never found anything worthwhile.
I finally broke down and bought Big Oven - which I love. I think it lists the price at $30, but if you download the 30 day trial, it gives you a cheaper price to buy from the trial version, plus I did a google search for a coupon code and ended up paying about $22.
I know you said paying was out of the question, so for now I would just use a word processing program and save up to pay for a decent program. Sorry I'm not more help.
I just googled free recipe software and there are several out there. I took a look at RecipeCenter 5.0 and it looks like it would be OK. I did not download it, but am thinking about it. HTH
!! Living Cookbook !!
Awesome - my fav feature is if find a recipe online, just copy, go to Living Cookbook and it has a 'paste it in' maneuver -- meaning you do not re-type it!!!!

Consumer Reports has just published their annual customer satisfaction rankings for the United States mobile carriers. The new rankings show Verizon Wireless customers as the happiest, while AT&T has been scored the lowest out of the four major carriers (I can personally vouch for this, as their customer service is terrible!).
These rankings are all based off of consumer surveys that are based upon categories like data network, call quality and customer service. These stats likely depend on where you live, as you could be extremely happy with AT&T while being extremely dissatisfied with Verizon. You can easily do a internet search showing varied opinions on carriers. Some will be happy with AT&T or T-Mobile while others will hate AT&T and T-Mobile to their grave.
Regardless, what mobile carrier do you have right now? Are you happy with them based off of the categories listed above?
Sound off in the comments below!

Collection of 5x7 nudes
Around this time last year a good friend of mine convinced me to offer smaller, more affordable nudes to my collectors. After some trepidation, I decided to give it a go and since then have created over 80 of these tiny paintings. The majority of them are 5x7 (all images above are in this format) but there have been a few 4x5s, 4x6s, 5x6s, and 6x8s thrown into the mix. These pieces would look great all paired together on a wall as a few of my patrons have been doing :)
5x7s go for between 52.00 and 58.00 and can be found here. Enjoy!

My new car!
Woo! Upgraded my sickly 1998 Plymouth Breeze 4 banger to this '07 Ford Fusion SEL 6 cyl from Fogg's Automotive in Glenville, NY. Can't fully express how thrilled I am...I set the goal in January that I was going to purchase a new vehicle and worked my tush off to make it happen. My tush has been rewarded with heated leather seats.
My tush is, needless to say, pleased. As is the rest of me :)

Pics from "Introductions" art show, Manhattan
These admittedly are insanely long overdue - Although the show was 1/10, it's still relevant ;)
The show was through Taylor Mackenzie at the World Monument Fund Gallery, Prince George Ballroom, in the Chelsea district of Manhattan. Great time had by all.
Oh, and the fabulous model in the first photo is my little sis. I have a very supportive family!

Irvine Valley's men's basketball team had its chances to come away with a big, early season win on the final day of its own tournament.
The Lasers led Ventura, by as many as seven points late in the first half, were up, 33-29, at half and tied with the Pirates late in the contest.
But, Ventura scored the final four points of the game and came away with a 63-59 win in the third-place contest of the Irvine Valley Classic on Saturday.
Irvine Valley's record slipped to 2-3 on the year.
Sophomore guard Geoff Salas led Irvine Valley with 20 points on 7 of 11 shooting from the field, 4 of 6 from three point range and 2 of 2 from the line.
Freshman forward Christian Louis added nine points and four rebounds, freshman point guard Sean Murphy finished with eight points and three assists and freshman post player Josh Walker grabbed nine rebounds and had six points for the Lasers.
But in the end, Irvine Valley shot just 42.5 percent (20 of 47) from the field, including 21.9 percent (4 of 19) from three-point range. The Lasers also missed eight free throws in the game.
Ventura was paced by Timothy Turner, who finished with 22 points, four assists and four steals.
Jelani Bell had 15 points and four rebounds and Thomas Dangerfield added 12 points for the Pirates, who improved their record to 3-3 on the year.

Decorate with Natural Cork
If we think about natural cork, maybe the first thing that comes up to our mind are the wine or champagne corks. They are very common in DIY decoration but there are formats in which this product can be found.
In this post we'll discover the advantages of the adhesive cork sheet, wich can be found rolled or cutted into regular pieces. Normally, we find the rolled sheet sticked on the wall with a lot of tacks holding notes or pictures.
But there are many original ways of placing this material. Check out these DIY projects:
1- Create a mosaic
Cut the cork sheet into geometric pieces and create a big mosaic on the wall. Then fill it with souvenirs that make you feel happy.
2- Cenefas
Create original borders by cutting the sheet and place them on the wall. Easy, cheap and useful.
3- World Map
This original and awesome way of cutting the cork will make your friends green eyed. It may be a bit more difficult than the other projects, but the result is amazing, overall if you are a travel lover.
4- Souvenirs' lamp
This may be the most surprising way of using cork: create a lamp where your pictures and reminders can be placed. And to give a special touch, a combination with adhesive contact paper may be perfect. Interesting result ¿isn't it?
5- Letters
Cut the cork in letters shape to decorate your wall. Create words, sentences or use just your initials. All the options are super cool!
And these are our today's proposals. We hope you enjoy them and help you to create awesome things this weekend. And if you need more info of how to place adhesive contact paper, check this link.

(example of a condo you can rent in Hawaii)
My friend Grace, who lives in a one-bedroom in NYC's Chinatown, was suddenly deluged with family coming in to visit: her mother and father, her sister, her sister's husband, her sister's baby; her brother, his wife and toddler. There was no way they were all going to squash into her apartment, especially not with two kids.
She considered Craigslist, a venue she went by before; the problem with Craigslist is it can also result in scams: like the person who subletted someone's apartment, then posed as a landlord and "rented" the apartment out to dozens of people and taking their deposits (which happened to my friend's apartment she subletted for a month in Brooklyn). Hotels in Manhattan are pricy, especially by the week.
My super boss's son, a clueless 18-year-old, and his 12 friends thought they were renting a house in Ocean City, Md. through a rental website and wired money to a man whose English was terrible, with whom they never spoke to, and who disappeared with the money and never turned over a house key.
Enter airbnb. I'm not sure what the Air part means, but it's a great site that allows you to browse through people's apartments, homes, cottages and rooms they are renting. Past visitors can post reviews on the site.
It's a great alternative to a hotel, and it's safer than relying on Craigslist or any other rental listing site online. I'm a big fan of staying in places with kitchens that cost under $100 a night.
You browse through the places based on location, price, number of people, private house or private room in a house, amenities and so forth. Once you've decided on a place, you are put in touch with the owner; the two of you arrange schedules and meeting points, and then you put down a deposit and final amount. Here's the scam protectant: the owner doesn't get the money until you've checked into the place.
So if some dumb person tries to list a fake place, he or she won't get the money. Any of it.
Grace was even able to talk to someone about the fact that her apartment didn't come with electricity and it was 105 degrees in New York City that week. They didn't have to pay until the electricity was turned on.
Of course, having discovered this little web gem, I've already gone hunting for pads around the world. Paris! Berlin! Rio! But we'll test out airbnb on our hopefully upcoming trip to Kauai over Thanksgiving, so we'll let you know our experience!

"Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence."
–Jim Morrison
There are many roads to popularity for politicians and pundits. Unfortunately, the easiest shortcuts tend to be found on the lowest roads. Railing against contemporary culture while pining for a sugar-coated version of yesteryear is an effective way to exploit a wide variety of passions and prejudices. The world offers constructive thinkers no shortage of real problems to confront. Yet this does not prevent the unscrupulous from grandstanding in crusades against non-problems.
In fairness, depictions of violence are all but inescapable in most cultures. This is no modern phenomenon. Even the Bible is thick with tales of brutality and warfare. In ancient times people engaged in all manner of peaceful activities. Yet the number of truly epic stories involving violence clearly outnumbers those that do not. Conflict is the essence of drama. Violence is never an ideal outcome of conflict, but often it is a realistic outcome. Thus there is nothing surprising about an abundance of violence in literature, film, television, and even video games.
As with other media, quality varies from work to work. Some video game violence is mindless, tasteless, and artless. Yet much of it has redeeming value. The foremost component of that value is entertainment. It is true that participating in an interactive game is different from a passive experience like watching a movie. Yet this argument leads only to the absurd. Are performers in violent plays and films exposing themselves to danger of becoming psychopaths? Would it be anything other than crazy to be fearful of an invitation to dinner with Sir Anthony Hopkins?
Sensible people do not have difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination. Yet calculating panderers use rhetoric to blur this distinction, establishing a false narrative about the role of violent storytelling in discussions about actual violence. It is true that actual violence sometimes takes the form of fictional events. However, it is counterproductive to focus on the form rather than root causes.
To the degree that killers actually do emulate what they've seen in culture, vivid window dressing is presented to the world. Preventing real world violence requires looking beyond that window dressing and into the core of violent motives. Death metal does not prevent responsible actions taken to diagnose and treat mental illness. Hip hop music does not obstruct measures to bring economic opportunity to inner cities or remedy racial inequalities. Likewise, every moment of school shooting coverage squandered on violent video game theories is time that is not being spent exploring non-ridiculous explanations of how the tragedy came to be.
In all fairness, young children may have difficulty distinguishing between reality and fiction. One of the great things about being an adult is freedom from the constraints that shelter children. An individual so young as to be considered sane while inclined toward interaction with imagined entities should have adult supervision. In this area, peculiar American sensibilities related to sex and violence are evident. If a parent permitted a young child to view tremendous amounts of hardcore pornography, courts may question the fitness of that parent. A consistent approach would also handle excessive exposure to violent imagery this way. Surely that is a better alternative than industry-wide censorship, forcing people of all ages into a childish context.
Complaints about violence in entertainment may go back as far as the first embellished war story told about a campfire. Especially with recent slippages back toward barbarism, it should be easy to see that real causes of real violence have their roots in equally real (i.e. non-fictional) phenomena. Those who would contend "things are so much worse nowadays" must be unfamiliar with Shakespeare's bloodiest plays or gratuitously gruesome fairy tales that have only fallen out of fashion in recent generations. Yet even if one grants that horror films or violent video games take depicted violence to some sort of new level, how does that mesh with the fact that in times past torture and murder were hardly absent from reality?
Modern knowledge gives us the tools to examine real problems related to violence. In large part it even gives us the tools to solve these problems. What seems lacking is the will to use them. Universal mental health screenings in adolescence might not eliminate the problem of school shootings, but surely such a policy would reduce their number. Of course, it would also offer many other benefits. However, discussion of a sensible measure like that is all too easily crowded out by scapegoating. When such tactics are employed, violent video games are fast becoming a favorite target.
In some part this has to do with the way media has changed. Electronic entertainment offers amazing visual spectacles and even downright surreal experiences. A psychological expert giving nuanced opinions about the kind of conditions that can provoke violent attacks in schools is not going to hold a mass audience very long. On the other hand, a montage of violent video game scenes combined with crude appeals to fear or hate will tend to improve ratings. Since news producers are much more inclined to believe it is their purpose to sell advertising than to believe it is their purpose to inform the public, insight is traded away in favor of bluster and nonsense.
In the end, the greater problem is not that violent video games exist, but rather that this issue provides a means by which people lacking positive or useful messages can still manage to achieve popularity. Outrage can motivate public action even as it obstructs public contemplation. Energy and attention that could be channeled into legitimate approaches of reducing violence winds up misdirected into moral crusades with no chance of accomplishing any better purpose than to nourish the sanctimony of participants.
I suppose the silver lining in all of this is how it may expose the opportunistic insincerity of social manipulators. If you see or hear of a public figure harshly condemning the gaming industry (or the music industry or Hollywood, for that matter) from the perspective of a self-appointed "culture warrior," it is a safe bet you have encountered an extremely bad source of social and/or political analysis. These distractions from serious informed efforts to promote peace in all its forms may either be a sleazy rhetorical tactic or a sign of personal ignorance. Either way, they should serve as a red flag to indicate that their source has little regard for what you think, instead building their popularity on an ability to make audiences feel negative emotions. That is never a process that increases the measure of wisdom brought to bear on public policy decisions.

Published at Wednesday, January 30th, 2019 - 09:03:54 AM. Bedroom. By Alisz Schmitt.
Given the fact that the bedroom is a private space usually perceived as a relaxing and serene environment, the colors associated with its interior are usually pastels, neutrals and soft shades. However, you can create a beautiful bedroom décor even with intimidating colors such as black. It's uncommon to see a black bedroom but we have selected a few examples that show this type of décor can also be inviting and quite pleasant.
Baroque and Rococo decor are popular styles, and bedrooms are one of the places in your home where these eras of design can shine. The characteristics of Baroque furniture and Rococo elements are perfect for a space meant to be opulent, relaxing and luxurious. Curving lines, ample embellishment and sumptuous fabrics, which are typical of these styles, make a bedroom extra special.

Some admins disappointed by Microsoft realignment
The jury is still out on what it all means, but some administrators are expressing disappointment over Microsoft's recent decision to move responsibility for its manageability products from the software maker's Windows group to its storage group.
Many system administrators are disappointed with Microsoft's decision to have its management software chief report to the storage products group instead of the Windows group.
Count Larry Duncan, a Systems Management Server (SMS) expert, among the disappointed. "I think it's a bad move," he said. "It seems like they're just passing the buck."
Duncan is manager of special projects for Gresham, Smith and Partners, a national architectural and engineering firm based in Nashville, Tenn. He also runs Comptrends.com, an online resource for administrators. He posted a poll on the site asking, "Do you agree with Microsoft moving SMS under the storage management unit?"
As of late last week, 53% of respondents did not agree, 6% did, and 40% were not yet sure. Though the poll was a small sampling of administrators, it's an indication of how they're thinking going in to this week's Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas, for which, as of Friday, more than 1,900 admins had registered.
Administrators are eager to hear Microsoft's long-term management software plans. The road map will include plans to develop a unified management platform, code-named Sydney, that essentially wraps the current functionality of the company's three manageability products into one.
On March 10, in an effort to demonstrate the importance of its management applications and focus on enterprise management, Microsoft changed the name of the management business group to the "enterprise management" division. In an executive realignment, Kirill Tatarinov, vice president for the enterprise management division, will report to Bob Muglia, senior vice president of the enterprise storage division. Tatarinov previously reported to Brian Valentine, senior vice president of the Windows division.
SMS, Microsoft Operations Manager, Application Center and Microsoft Solutions for Management will all remain part of the enterprise management division, Microsoft officials said.
Microsoft stressed that the enterprise management and enterprise storage divisions will remain separate, but the shuffling of the executive reporting structure is what irks Duncan and his mates. They perceive the change as another example of how little Microsoft values its management software platforms.
Duncan fears that SMS support, which he believes Microsoft already considers secondary, will worsen. "What kind of support are we going to get now?" he said.
One analyst said the realignment makes strategic sense.
The move is an attempt by Microsoft to overcome its management software reputation as a Windows-only player, said Michael Dortch, principal analyst and editorial director for research firm Robert Frances Group Inc., based in Westport, Conn. To be taken seriously as an enterprise systems management vendor, Microsoft and its offerings need more functionality and developer support, both of which the company now lacks, he said.
"Even if Microsoft is willing to tackle these challenges head on, the company is at least two years away from convincingly demonstrating its ability to do so," Dortch said. "Barring some remarkable, world-changing announcements at its Las Vegas conference [this] week, this trend is likely to continue."

In a film shot by Rankin and styled by Katie Grand, our new cover star breaks into our Old Street HQ
2016 is a big year for Dazed. Not only is it our 25th anniversary, but we are moving out of the Old Street office that's been the magazine's HQ for the past 22 years. In celebration of the space and all it means to us, we invited modelling's American sweetheart Gigi Hadid to, well, trash it.
In this short film, shot by Rankin and styled by Katie Grand (Dazed's co-founder and its first fashion director), Gigi is captured doing just that: climbing on desks, smashing up computers, graffitiing the (very expensive) lightbox – even inflicting irreparable damage to this writer's office chair.
"Gigi has that effortless quality about her," Rankin said. "I've worked with some of the best models, and she's up there with those types of supermodels. She's also got an absolutely natural ability to act, which is pretty unique in a model. I'm really excited to see where she goes from here because she's got all the raw potential."
However Gigi's involvement in our anniversary celebrations doesn't end at destruction of office property – she's also one of our covers and is interviewed by two of her biggest fans: 13-year-old Lila Moss Hack and her best friend Stella Jones. Together they discuss boyfriends, body confidence and being true to yourself.
"I think that more than teaching what body types are correct, it's important to teach that we are putting models out there who are confident in their bodies," she tells them. "I think that's where we should start: teaching models to put out a body image that they are happy and comfortable with, so that girls who relate to them know it's coming from a good place."

With around 14,600 public and privately owned RV parks or campgrounds across America, there are no shortages of places to stop and roam the country with plenty of options to choose from. Traveling in a RV is more than just being transported from place to place, rather they're a way of experiencing adventures in both comfort and style, just on wheels. After all, what's not to love about hitting the open road with the luxury of having all amenities from right inside your home?
RV motorhomes come in a variety of styles, sizes and even floor plans for a custom designed motorcoach to suit your personal preferences. Interior options are pretty much endless so you can travel with all your home comforts right under one moving roof. There's nothing quite like having a beautiful kitchen, snug living areas and calming bedroom to enhance your travels further. Whether you're a group of friends looking into how to have the ultimate adventure this year or a family wanting to do something different for a vacation, jump in and find out more.
Sleep easy in your RV
When you don't have a brick and mortar home, a RV becomes your inner sanctuary so having a good night's sleep is essential after driving endless miles throughout the day. Make your RV your home by adding a pillow top mattress and soft bedding designed for a peaceful sleep and for minimizing any tossing and turning during the night. Treat yourself to buying from a reputable company for those extras that reflect your personality but also have the luxury you desire so that they review key features to suit your tastes and levels of comfort. Additionally, ensure the durability, thickness and materials of a mattress stands the test of time for excessive use every night..
Be entertained on the road
In between visiting places along the way, it's likely you'll be spending a great deal of time inside your RV so having the most up to date entertainment facilities on board is essential for your enjoyment and comfort. Although many of the audio and visual devices installed in a RV are much the same as you'd have at home, they will be adapted to ensure practicality; for example, having controls from a centralized command center. Think about installing a drop down flat screen, surround sound system, satellite receiver and signal booster for maximum entertainment.
The little extras
Having a top notch RV means you'll also enjoy the smaller additions incorporated into a design to ensure you have everything you need. Storage is very important on a RV so built-in, overhead shelving and sliding compartment cupboards under the seats or bed are vital for keeping your possessions safe. Consider LED lighting with dimmer switches, and for your interior to always at a comfortable temperature with vented heating, air conditioning systems and the right kind of insulation. Similarly, premium appliances, top of the range cabinetry and rich leather furnishings will all add to keeping your RV home in perfect condition.
As with any home, comfort is the key element to enjoying the space but especially so when your home is on wheels so that you always feel pampered and everything is convenient for you to enjoy.

JFCY Youtube Filming Day - Pany
Hi, my name is Pany. This is my first blog that I've ever written and I am very excited. I am currently in grade 11 going into grade 12 in September. I go to Central Technical School. I am involved in a program at my school called the LAWS program. This program offers many exciting things such as law related classes, a higher knowledge of law and law summer job. My summer job this year is at Justice for Children and Youth. I work full time on weekdays for the month of July. When working I was asked if I would like to participate in a youtube video that was being made, it's about civil recovery demand letters. I am at the office right now, on set, we are starting to film for the video, and I am very excited. I am very happy to be part of this committee, and i'm hoping that more people will volunteer for this opportunity.

Finishing Strong!!!!
Well today was another day. Today was our sports day. We played ultimate Frisbee and soccer. It rained today which made playing soccer very fun and wet. We were able to finish another CI successfully today. Praise the Lord!!!!!
This week I was a team leader and David, my brother, was my assistant. I really enjoyed this CI. It was not my favorite, because you are not supposed to have favorites. But if I had to pick one that I liked the best so far, it would be here in Taichung. My kids this week were so good and they really enjoyed the CI.
Tonight we are packing up our things so that we can leave in the morning, to go back to Taipei for Chinese New Year. A lot of the team members have been getting sick. But we are all praying the Lord will give us the strength to finish strong.
At times it's really easy to be lazy in our lesson planning or just whatever. But laziness is a sin, so I am trying to pray for the strength I need to make it through without being lazy. Because I know that I cannot finish without Him. At the end of this trip I want to be able to say that I finished strong and depended on Christ throughout the whole trip. Even though we will have hard times, we still need to trust in Him. Because Jesus said that we are going to have trouble, but we need to take heart because He has overcome the word.
In His name,
Grace Lukachick

Hollands trails will remain closed on opening day. We have to do some reroutes as corn wasn't harvested in a few fields and we can't just go blasting through it. The trails captains will be out pounding stakes in some areas after dark this evening and throughout the week. We hope to have the trails wrapped up and groomed by this weekend or earlier. PLEASE NOTE, due to lengthy complete rebuild of the LMC groomer's hydraulic system, a breakage on the John Deere tractor and the generous helping of white snow we all received, some trail captains will be on snowmobiles doing trail work wrap up. This year, rangers simply won't make it through the deep, awesome snow. If you see tracks, this does not mean the trails are open for general use! Watch for reroutes this year, follow signs, and stay off of old trails if a detour shows another way. We know you want to ride, and believe me the guys doing ALL this work are doing it because they love it more than anyone, but please be patient and watch our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/snorascals and http://snorascals.org/ for updates.
Also a give big shout out to all the guys taking off work to wrap up trails and do some unexpected fixes :)

As you may have guessed from the title - we have a frame!!
But this was up super quick - in less than two days in fact! And this was also back at the start of 5 week. So you may be wondering what else has been done in the space of almost 3 weeks... The truth is... not a lot!
We are a little bit disappointed that the builders have not been on site here for almost three weeks now. Sure I understand that builders have other jobs to work on simultaneously, but I think that a 3 week hiatus may be stretching the friendship a bit... well a lot.
During this little break, we have been trying to lock in the final colour choice for the exterior colours - the render and also the colour for the roof respray. A BIG thank you to all of those on my Facebook Page that gave me some advice here. It was because of you that we managed to select a roof colour that I had not even heard of, so thank you!!
Here's hoping for a bit more progress in week 8. Though for now, I am enjoying still sleeping in our bedroom and in our own bed.

Happy Friyay everyone!! Can I just say that I am completely Obsessed with this pajama shirt dress worn as duster coat!?! It is Only $35 and comes in 4 different color and prints! You can wear it as a dress or if style it differently as a duster jacket like I did. It is light weight and moves like a dream~!!!!
When I tried on this pajama dress, it was too long for me but the color and style was too good to pass up so I knew I have to find another way to wear it. To style it like a duster coat, I simply unbutton and untied the whole dress, wore it over my lace cami with vegan leather skinny to create a more "outerwear: look. Rolling up the sleeves also give it a more utility feel and you can make up for it by tying the robe lightly in the back to cinch the waist area for more definition.
I decide to wear vegan leather skinny to balance and mix of feminine and masculine, but any skinny jeans would do. The leathery material is a perfect contrast to the flowy drapey coat and the lace cami. Lastly, I want the total #bossgirl look and couldn't find a more perfect heels than the sky high CL So Kate to do my "Gisele" strut!

|ATLA-ALTERNATIVES TO LABORATORY ANIMALS vol. 33 no. 1 p. 47-62
|Publication Year:
|Articles in periodicals and books
|This is the XXth report of a series of workshops organised by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM). The main objective of ECVAM, as defined in 1993 by its Scientific Advisory Committee, is to promote the scientific and regulatory acceptance of alternative methods which are of importance to the biosciences, and which reduce, refine or replace the use of laboratory animals. One of the first priorities set by ECVAM was the implementation of procedures that would enable it to become well informed about the state-of-the-art of non-animal test development and validation, and of opportunities for the possible incorporation of alternative methods into regulatory procedures. It was decided that this would be best achieved through a programme of ECVAM workshops, each addressing a specific topic, and at which selected groups of independent international experts would review the current status of various types of in vitro tests and their potential uses, and make recommendations about the best ways forward. The workshop on "Dendritic Cells as a Tool for the Predictive Identification of Skin Sensitisation Hazard" was held at ECVAM (Ispra, Italy) on 7-8 April 2004, with participants derived from academia, national organisations, and industry. The aim of the workshop was to review the state-of-the-art of the use of cultured dendritic cells for the identification of skin sensitisation hazard, and to develop strategies for the eventual replacement of in vivo testing. At the end of this report are listed the recommendations that should be considered for progressing toward the prevalidation and validation of relevant and reliable procedures, that could in the future replace the use of animals in the skin sensitisation testing of chemicals and cosmetic products.

A foreclosure order is a written declaration by a court, authorizing a lender to take possession of property that was offered as security for a loan of money. It is a remedy that a lender can request once the borrower has defaulted on his promise to make payments as required under the terms of the loan. The involvement of the court at this stage of the loan process ensures that a lender cannot repossess real property without making a showing to an independent third-party that the situation entitles the lender to possession of the property and that he has complied with the requirements of the law.
In many instances, people buy residential property by taking out a loan to pay for the transaction. Banks and financing companies typically make these types of loans. They ensure repayment by taking a security interest, or mortgage, in the purchased property. This mortgage allows the lender to take the property in repayment of the loan if the borrower defaults on his obligations under the loan agreement.
If a borrower stops making payments under the loan agreement, he is in default. The lender can then initiate proceedings against the property to take it from the borrower in repayment of the debt. The law requires that the process of dispossessing a person from his home go through the court system in a proceeding called a foreclosure. This prevents unilateral action by the lender that can result in public mayhem, as private-party lenders attempt to remove families from homes under circumstances that the lender evaluates and controls.
In most jurisdictions that have a legal system based on English common law, residential property cannot be taken by a lender from a defaulting borrower without a foreclosure order from the court. A foreclosure order is a written judicial decision that establishes that the lender is entitled to possession of the property at issue. This requirement distinguishes the repossession of residential property based on a mortgage from other types of property repossession based on other types of loans. For example, in many jurisdictions, a lender can repossess a car financed with a car loan without going to court, because the borrower agrees to summary repossession in case of default as a provision of the loan.
The requirement that a lender obtain a foreclosure order before moving to take possession of residential property is akin to the requirement that a landlord get an order of eviction before dispossessing a tenant. Public policy protects the sanctity of a home and requires the party seeking dispossession to make a proper showing to an independent party of his right to possession before it allows a private party to violate another person's home. The courts serve this function and review the circumstances surrounding the default to make sure the lender hasn't engaged in any unscrupulous or illegal behavior before issuing the foreclosure order.
