To have told my cousin to get a job rather than just living off the tax payer?(66 Posts)
My cousin is a bit of a layabout. She is 18. She did go to college but got kicked off the course after many many opportunites because she simply could not be bothered. She is the laziest person I know. She has never had a part time job because she never bothered and her mum didn't push her to get one ("whats she suppose to do" was her mums attitude yet her DS had to do paper rounds and get a job at 18 so he could pay rent ).
Now she was 18 a few months ago and was kicked off her course a couple of months before that. She hasn't been looking for a job, despite what she tells me. Her mum has the attitude of "I don't see why she should do that if she doesn't want to", which seems to be to any job but this was in response to my other aunt suggesting that my cousin try in a supermarket. She gives her money each week for doing bits of housework which she has raised as her DD doesn't have enough money apparently. Her mum has just taken her to the job centre to sign on. Her FB status said something about signing on so she "now has money lol" (her words). I said fine but I hoped she was looking for a job as living off the taxpayer was not a lifestyle choice. Ok, maybe patronising but as her own mother doesn't seem to give a shit if she lives off benefits, it bugs me when hard working people lounge about because jobs are not what the want to do, when they don't even know what the want to do. This is NOT benefit bashing at all. I only read in the paper yesterday about a man had applied for 900 jobs to try and support his GF and son but couldn't get anything but my cousin has applied for nothing.
She commented that she has to keep going to the job centre to sign on and do forms and she is looking so I shouldn't "piss her off". I suspect I hit a nerve because she isn't doing all she can and no one else seems to say it to her. She lays in bed until god knows what time then gets her mum to drop her over to her latest lad that she is obsessed with (and I do mean obsessed). Her looking would involve her looking at what is available and saying "I don't want to do that/I can't do that/I can't get there with her mum agreeing with al that she said.
I do know that it is nothing to do with me but when everyone else in the family just says things but no one will actually say it to her, I am the only person who will speak up. Her own mother is no help at all and has always 'let' her be lazy and totally bone idle.
' I just hope the current benefit reforms go far enough that people who are simply lazy don't get given that option any more.'
Exactly that. Until the rules change, there will continue to be a huge number of people thinking they are too good to do menial and unskilled jobs, and parents willing to indulge that arrogance. The claimants are not doing anything illegal.
I still don't think it is the concern of the OP.
Some people live their lives on facebook though don't they.
Although I can understand your frustration at her lack of ambition.
I think you know ,You were totally out of line to post something like that on her FB .
I'd have torn you a new one and told you jump off the far end of fuck, and quite rightly.
FB is not where you get to have snide digs at people publicly, if the expectation is for her to behave like an adult then you must do the same I'm afraid.
but not much you can do.
Mine doesn't live at home and I do not give him money.
BoffinMum Totally agree!!
When my DD had a go at doing this loafing about thing, I made her go to the local library, develop and print out a CV on their computers, and then I marched her along the high street leaving copies of it at cafes and restaurants. After half an hour of doing this, she had her first interview, and they offered her some part time work on the spot, offering to give her training as well. I then gave her a small amount of money to pay her fares and lunches during her first week, bought her some trousers for work, and put £10 on her mobile phone, and then told her the finance tap was now turned off. Concentrates the mind wonderfully, having no money. She did pretty well in that job and they promoted her. She has had two promotions since and now has an excellent job, two years down the line.
That's what parents should be doing for their kids, if they love them, IMO.
Well he just walked in and told me he got the sack last night and didn't get paid for last week
So he is applying for full time jobs today.
Good job they are online, he needs a wash.
CrapBag YANBU. There seems to be no shame in some people.
just wait ,if your job centre is like ours it won't be long before they have her so busy going on courses to find employment she may decide work would be better.
I hate "benefit bashing" on here. And I opened this thread with the intention of rolling my eyes and then hiding it.
But I agree with the OP. It is people like her cousin who give the genuine hard working people who find themselves on benefits a bad name.
I got a shitty weekend job when I was 14 getting paid £2 an hour for back breaking work. I worked until I had my DD. I was then forced out of work due to childcare issues. My DP has worked on farms and doing odd jobs since the same age. He went and got plenty of qualifications while working.
Being young is no excuse. At 18 people should be out doing any job so that they can find out what they want to do and what their skills are.
And the difference between girls and boys that some people were saying about, that was the same in my house. My brother didnt work until he was 19 and even now pays a tiny amount of rent while my mum waits on him hand and foot.
Its not always down to the parents. But if they encourage laziness at 18 then they have to be held accoutable.
Honestly, MrsDeVere, it won't last forever. Now he has a bit of work, he will probably find some more - or decide that is not for him and want to go to college. Having long spaces between school/college and work is a sort of prolonging of childhood; you don't have much money when you are at school, so you still don't need much when you are older and could be earning.
Regarding OP's cousin, everyone is saying that it is their business as taxpayers, but from what has been has posted, it doesn't look like she will have received her first payment yet. Of course, her mum will be prolonging the situation by allowing her to keep the money, rather than taking most of it off her to pay for her keep.
doodlepoo so do I but sadly I was very much a do as I'm told by my parents even though what they asked for was ridiculous.They had more of my wages than I did.
My children are thankful that I'm not like my parents were.
This absolutely is your business, she is a family member, and clearly it needed saying. If this kind of behaviour goes unchallenged, overtime it becomes more accepted and seemingly okay. It's really not.
He'll pull it together...like you, my Mum and Dad both worked and didn't spoil me. It takes some kids a while to get there I think.
Well done for deciphering that post bigfat
I am off to find a bloody laptop!
MrsDevere I went through a lazy phase...I had a Sunday job at 17 and dropped out of college....the tenner I earned as enough to go out on Friday night to the pub (can you imagine!)
And that was all I did! I did get it together and get a proper job and then onto Uni in the end.
My son hase been raised by two parents who have worked since their teens. His dad works despite having a serious disbility. The only time he has seen me not working was when I was caring for his sister and in the aftermath of her death.
We have a very strong work ethic.
He however is a lazy arsed teen who thinks the world owes him a living. He is almost 19. He thinks it is fine to be on benefits for a while and finds all kinds of excuses as to why he can't get a job just yet.
We shot oursef in the foot somewt as we have bought him up not o expect expensive clothes and gadgets etc. so he doesn't miss tem now he as to ay for them himself
So don't put he ame on the arenas. It's not always the case. Lots of more affluent teens are any, entitled feckers but the get away with it because they are at uni or being ailed out by their indulgent parents.
My son is a lovy lad and I am hopeful that our influence and my motherly advice of 'get a job you freeloading slacker' everytime I see him will kick in soon.
( he has just started a bit of bar work so - yay!)
This is why they should stop benefits to under 25's that live at home and have never worked. Go the whole hog and stop them for those who are quite capable but have never worked. popping babies out and giving them the same level of disaffected, disengaged me-me-me attitude isn't a job, although I know a few who think it is.
If I moan about DH not doing things or doing them badly, she says "Well he's a MAN.....they just don't KNOW about certain things."
Uergh . . . I had a friend recently being shocked when she asked if i raise my boy differently to my girl and i said no of course i bloody don't! It started as a conversation about who does the housework where it became cleared that she thinks women should do it all even if they work full time. I was so shocked because even though i knew she was a little old fashioned i didn't realise it was that extreme. So she is raising her children to believe that women wait on men.
My step sister is just like your cousin OP.
She's 22, never had a job and quit her college course after 2 months. Now she's pregnant after TTC with her boyfriend who also has never worked (he's 23).
She keeps banging on about why she hasn't been given a house (but she has been given a flat) and why should she have to climb 2 flights of stairs at 30 weeks pg.
Very entitled girl. But I blame my father and step mother. They are life long benefit claimants who actively encourage their children to try and get everything for nothing.
I'm so thankful I was brought up by my DM, a single working parent to 4 children. My brothers and I have a strong work ethic.
My other step sister has 5 kids, never worked or been to college but the job centre has just made her boyfriend get a job!
soditall 150 a week! I think that's extortionate. You could have got a mortgage for that!
Print of a screen shot and send it to the job centre. If she is not ill then it is a condition of her benefits that she is seeking work.
It is the business of every taxpayer in the country. The girl is 18; she is fit and well; she is not working. It is her choice not to work but having made that choice she should not be receiving benefits. She has put nothing in; she has a home; she has parents on whom to depend. If the parents don't want to afford her the luxury of deciding and having a little break then I don't see why the taxpayer should.
BTW I have an 17 year old (almost 18). He is at school. He has an allowance. He is able to earn about £50pcm to top up his allowance by doing a bit of babysitting. In the holidays he can pull down £50.00 a morning by caddying - because he got himself on the list; is reliable and prepared to turn up at 7.30.
I don't mind people getting on with their life in a lazy way so long as my children aren't paying for it! As they are, I do, and it most definitely is to do with all of us.
> I think that you should let her get on with her life and you get on with yours. It really isn't anything to do with you

Bay Area Microchip Manufacturing, Inc. is a locally-owned high-tech research and manufacturing company located in a possible liquefaction area in the South Bay. In a repeat 1906 earthquake (M 7.9 on the San Andreas fault, with an epicenter approximately two miles off the coast to the west of San Francisco), the site will experience violent ground shaking and possibly liquefaction. The company is housed in a typical 1990's office park.

2016 Book Review
Here are some of the books I read in 2016 along with my brief opinions and recommendations.
Great story of entrepreneurship told by the founder himself. It was incredible to hear how long it took Nike to get off the ground properly and become a full-time job for Phil Knight. It's a great example of patience and tenacity getting rewarded.
I read this just as Soylent was starting to sell our products on Amazon. It gives a great overview of the corporate history, but I suspect that because it wasn't written with Bezos' blessing, it doesn't have the same positive gusto of Shoe Dog.
A truly epic sci-fi saga. This could have easily been split into a trilogy, but I love that the format keeps you hooked all the way through. It really reaffirmed the fact that hard sci-fi is one of my favorite genres.
Very interesting overview of the genetic changes that have been occurring in athletics over the past century (mostly). It does a great job of deeply explaining the classic nature vs. nurture debate and reframing it as less of a trade-off and more as two compounding forces.
Fun read for anyone with even a passing interest in algorithms, this book reads a lot like the "Freakonomics" of Computer Science. This book would be a great gift for any high-school junior or senior on the cusp of picking a major.
A detailed account of Tobacco through the ages. Not a gripping narrative but filled with interesting vignettes about the pervasiveness of tobacco throughout human history. The book gets stronger at the end as it starts discussing 20th century American tobacco and cigarette culture and the surgeon general's response. One interesting story centered around the fact that after the government banned the paid product placement of cigarettes in movies, filmmakers wound up using just as many cigarettes as when they were getting paid because smoking was critical to character development.
This book was honestly a little overwhelming for me. I find it hard to follow historical accounts that take place before World War 2 because of the lack of visuals available for association. One quote I did love though was from one of Lincoln's detractors and really shows how poor the political discourse was at the time:
Lincoln is the leanest, lankest, most ungainly mass of legs arms and hatchet face ever strung upon a single frame. He has most unwarrantedly abused the privilege that all politicians have of being ugly.
It serves as a nice reminder that mudslinging and ad hominem attacks are nothing new.
The plot is incredible, I can't recommend this enough if you like spy novels at all. I read this shortly after watching The Night Manager (which I also recommend) and was impressed by how creative le Carré is with each story.
Interesting in a "big picture" kind of way. I liked the concept of the myth as the foundational construct of humanity and as the basis for everything from religion to corporations. Lots of interesting tidbits throughout.
This book does of a great job of explaining the significance of the Peace of Westphalia in a modern context. If you're looking for a good overview of how we arrived at our current geopolitical situation, this is a great read.
Somewhat interesting sci-fi novel about a future in which drugs allow software to be run in human brains to allow Matrix-like skills to develop overnight and a few other neat tricks to enable a fairly engaging plot line. It's a trilogy, but I doubt I'll get around to finishing it.
Great as a primer on how astronomers and physicists actually work, also good at explaining the currently leading theories on multiple universes and the mathematical principles that provide evidence of a more complex world. Not sure I totally buy the conclusion, but served as a good introduction.
On China is essentially just a deep dive into China from the same perspective and analytical framework as World Order. A great history lesson on the origins of the Chinese government married with some great anecdotes about Nixon's 1972 visit to China. It gives a really personal perspective on Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai to the point where I felt very sad when reading the story of Zhou's battle with cancer and ultimate death.
This books has a bunch of interesting stories about failed societies but is ultimately pretty depressing. Not highly recommended unless you like that sort of thing.
This book was the basis for one of my favorite movies as a kid, The Thirteenth Floor. I recently rewatched the move and it's sadly not very good when watched with a critical eye, but the core story is extremely thought provoking and feels especially relevant given all the recent chatter online about simulation theory.
I find that presidential autobiographies always make for the most inspiring and uplifting reads, my goal is to read them all eventually. On of my favorite Clinton moments comes while he was seeking employment during college and was offered "a part-time job for $3,500 or a full-time job for $5,000" to which he replies: "How about two part-time jobs?"
Even though it doesn't cover his presidency, it's an insightful read. Does a good job of showing what the job of a politician requires and how Barack balances work-life and home-life.
A very detailed history of genetics. Great read if you don't remember biology class or haven't kept up with current trends. Nothing in here is controversial in my mind, but it's great to have a clear narrative to tie key developments together.
This book takes an interesting left turn that I should have expected from the subtitle but forgot about. It's an interesting story of investing in Russia in the 90s followed by a harrowing tale of brutal Russian prisons and the development of US government legislation to try and punish a group of international criminals.
This was an truly epic read. It's such an incredibly detailed work that there are multiple sections that could be broken out into entire separate books and stand on their own just fine. I can't recommend this book enough for a host of reasons, but perhaps my favorite is that it will make Godwin's Law seem all the more ridiculous.
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1" — Godwin's Law
Looking forward to more great books ahead in 2017. Please comment or message me if you have books that you think I would like.

all butts are different! – (en)
Posted on February 13, 2014 by Dugutigui
About DugutiguiIn the "Diula" language in Mali, the term « dugutigui » (chief of the village), literally translated, means: «owner of the village»; «dugu» means village and «tigui», owner. Probably the term is the result of the contraction of «dugu kuntigui» (literally: chief of the village).

Simply hilarious! And it seems that a perfectly good dress was defiled by a perpatrator of a popular posteior possessed by a prestigiously pompous pundit.
Hahahaha! It seems so!
In fact just a Pyrrhic victory in the battle of the proletariat … before losing the war 🙂 🙂
Thanks for your comment!
Susanne Leist says:
I believe you need a nice long vacation. New York can be stressful.
Please. I would greatly appreciate it if we could conduct this conversation entirely within the realm of reality. If you don't believe New York City is America's best, grandest, most fully realized city, the beating heart of this nation's art, culture, business, and thought, then fine. Go live in Phoenix or whatever. You don't need to be reading this post at all (except for the fact that you have nothing better to do, because you live in Phoenix or whatever.) Are there good cities? Sure. Some pretty decent ones, here and there. If you put together the most attractive and vibrant portions of Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, and… wherever doesn't suck in Texas, without all the urban sprawl, you could piece together a single fairly tolerable city. But you can't. And it still would not bear any resemblance to the metropolis that is New York.
Yes you have Los Angeles, a vast agglomeration of neighborhoods of varying quality sewn together with highways and plagued by a fatal set of geological fault lines and juice stores. The sorts of people that live in America's best city, New York, are naturally turned off by the essence of Los Angeles, that's why we live in New York. If Los Angeles was as cool a city as New York, no one would live in New York. QED.
Hahahahaha!!! Just kidding! 🙂 🙂
BTW, I'm living in sunny Alicante (Spain) 🙂 🙂 🙂
Susanne Leist says:
I love New York City. I used to work there and live in Brooklyn. Now I live on Long Island. But nothing is like the hustle and bustle of the City.
Agreed!! The fact that nearly ten million good-looking people tolerate today's sidewalks coated in an ice-encrusted layer of snow covering near-frozen slush lakes is de facto proof that New York is America's best city. If it weren't, they would get the fuck out of there, pronto. 🙂 🙂
George Valah says:
Here's THR on the character of each city:
Los Angeles: It's New York with palm trees, as they say. Or the opposite: New York is L.A. with subways. And lousy weather. And cigarettes. The comparisons between America's polar-opposite biggest cities have shrunk over the years because of similarities in professions, constant work travel, the Internet and people relocating between the two — or giving up and going bi (coastal). The old (Big) apples and oranges (citrus country, get it?) adages don't apply much anymore, least of all in the entertainment/media business, where lifestyles are built around work, work and more work. Yes, it's no secret that people in New York exercise, practice yoga, get Botox and have moments of superficiality. And people in L.A. are always on the move and in a bad mood, with their therapists on speed dial. They even get drunk sometimes — if the calorie count is low enough. Still, there are a few palpable differences between the industry types. (We've noticed New Yorkers are less likely to include cell phone numbers in their e-mail signatures; Angelenos, always in their cars, do so more often.) THR decided they were worth nitpicking about with a handful of insiders who meet, play, eat, drink and exercise away their stress on the Left and Right coasts.
🙂 🙂

Well, maybe the only motivation you will get for your money 🙂 🙂

Excellent post…Love your blog!
Thank you for allowing me —being selfish and supercilious, to win the respect of intelligent persons like you, and the affection of children, having no fear of perfection —because I'll never reach it 🙂
Thank you!

I am looking for advice/help in planning my own itinerary for the literary trip I've always dreamed of. Here are places I want to see:
Rochester (Dickens's last home)
I can't stay more than 10 days. I wouldn't mind spending a little time in London, but not more than 2 days. I also want to spend more time in some places than others. For instance, even though Haworth is the most important place for me to visit, I assume I can do it in a day (since I'm mainly just going to see the Bronte Museum). On the other hand, I would love to spend more time in the Bath area and especially in Gramere/the Lake District, and I don't want to rush around a lot.
My main problem is that I can't even figure out what order I should go to places in. It seems like it shouldn't be so hard, but it seems like some of the writings I've seen conflict with what is on the map! I am also not sure how many hotels I should book. (For example, is it possible to stay in Bath or Rochester and go to London for the day? Is it possible/advisable to stay in Grasmere and visit Haworth for the day?)
I would also welcome advice on whether or not to rent a car. I know it will make me more mobile, but I don't really like driving and train travel seems like fun. But am I crazy to try to do all these places by train?
I was considering lumping the trip into two parts: 1) Haworth/Grasmere/Lake District, and 2) London/Rochester/Chawton/Bath/Cotswolds. Would that make sense?

Literary England
I am looking for advice/help in planning my own itinerary for the literary trip I've always dreamed of. Here are places I want to see:

That is simply too much to cover in 10 days. Just the drive from Rochester to Chawton to Bath to the Cotswolds to the Bronte Parsonage to the Lake District (a more or less linear route will take 3 days). Adding time for each of them plus London and a day or so to recover from jetlag and you have a 2+ week trip.
Which is MOST important to you: London/Rochester/Chawton/Bath - or - Yorkshire/the Lakes/London. Either of these would make a nice 10 day trip.
Report Abuse
Hmmm... I was afraid someone would say that. I guess Haworth is the most important to me, but I will have to confer with my traveling companion (my mom).
Report Abuse
While I respect Janet's expertise and experience, I don't think that what you want to do is that impractical in 10 days.Perhaps a bit hectic, but if you wanted a relaxing holiday, you would have gone to the beach.
To do your trip, I would spend 5days in London, one of them being the so-called jet-lag day. One day for a couple of the standard tourist attractions, being literary you would probably want a visit to Poets corner in Westminster Abbey, a day for London literary things, the British Library collection and Dickens House at least, I would think.
Then 3 separate day trips by train to visit Bath, Chawton and Rochester, returning to London each night. There are frequent direct trains to Bath and Rochester, for Chawton, it would be train to Alton, and bus or taxi from there.
Then morning train to Windermere, bus to Ambleside or Grasmere for overnight. You should be able to visit Rydal Mount and Dove Cottage that afternoon.
Next day train to Keighley for overnight, visit Haworth in the afternoon.
Next day train back to London.
And you have one extra day.

Oxford is a very lovely literary place.... For charm, I would pick Oxford over London, but then London is London and is very much worth exploring!
Report Abuse
Rochester is an easy day trip from London (or the other way round) - it's not far and plenty of people commute it every day, plenty of trains, and Rochester is a nice compact little town to walk round to all the Dickens related places.
Report Abuse
Depending on the time of year you are coming you may like to add Broadstairs to your trip to Rochester, it's about an hour away by train. Broadstairs is where Dickens spent his holidays and wrote Nicholas Nickleby and based Betsy Trotwood's cottage on what is now the Dicken's House Museum. There is a Dickens week in the town each June which may also interest you, and the house in which Dickens stayed is overlooking the main bay, (Bleak House). Google the town and the festival sites will give you a better idea.

[almost] what Ron said. [sorry jj to disagree with you for once!]
but Ron, the OP has only 10 days, including as i read it, arrival and departure day. s/he doesn't have time to have 5 days in london, plus 3 day trips, plus 3 days in the north.
you could of course intersperse your day trips between your days in London which would make it less tiring. think about this:
Day 1 - arrive. rest and possibly walk around Westminster area etc.
Day 2 - London sightseeing.
Day 3 - Rochester/Broadstairs. [try to do this on a nice day]
Day 4 - London
Day 5 - Bath/Chawton [sorry, you can't do both]
day 6 - London
Day 7 - train to windermere, bus to Grasmere. [staying there will cut down on the time you spend travelling around]. afternoon and following morning here.
Day 8 - morning in/around Grasmere. Bus/Train to Keighly.
Day 9 - morning visit Haworth. afternoon return to London.
day 10 - home.

For those of you who have not had the experience I would not wish anyone to stay a night in Keighley. I live in the next valley and while Haworth was a terrible place when the Bronte's lived there I promise you that Keighley is one now.
I suggest stay in Leeds, Bradford or Haworth itself
Report Abuse
good point, bilbo.
though perhaps the OP could take in a rugby league match which might lake it bearable.

Thank you for the itinerary ideas, everyone! I have a lot more thinking to do still. I'm glad to hear more tips as well -- the one about not staying in Keighley is great, since I had been considering it, so thank you!

Haworth itself has lots of places to say. I've stayed here and can recommend.

Kristina, lucky you – taking a literary jaunt to England.
Before my recent trip to London I read CHARLES DICKENS by Michael Slater – a very complete biography of the novelist's complicated domestic life, his contributions to contemporary theater and his support of fellow artists, along with lengthy descriptions of his literary endeavors.
Through it all, Dickens returned annually to BROADSTAIRS in late summer where he found some peace and time for reflection. I only made it to the DICKENS MUSEUM on Doughty Street which has excellent exhibits and remains the only one of his many residences still standing in London.
I also went to the JANE AUSTEN CENTER in Bath which would be of interest to literary aficionados like yourself.
Have a great trip and let us know how far you get….
Report Abuse
Thanks everyone, so much! You've given us a lot to think about. We are now thinking we will skip Bath and the Cotswolds, though we still want to go to Chawton. Here's what we're thinking:
Day 1: arrive, travel directly to Lake District
Day 2: lake district
Day 3: lake district
Day 4: lake district
Day 5: lake district/travel to Haworth to spend the night
Day 6: Haworth/travel to London that night
Day 7: London
Day 8: Day trip to Winchester/Chawton
Day 9: Day trip to Rochester/Broadstairs
Day 10: few final things in London before leaving
We will probably stay in London during the last part of the trip, for convenience. But would anyone recommend staying in Rochester, Winchester, or a nearby town instead of staying in London? We are fine with not staying in London and are more into "charming" than "modern."
Report Abuse
good thinking, Kristina. better to see some of it properly, than be so rushed you can't see any of it at all.
ref your query about staying outside London, it's difficult to see how you could do this AND do your day trips to both Rochester and Winchester. London will make it so much easier to get about, and you can enjoy the nightlife when you get back from your jaunts.

I am planning a literary trip to England for my book club for summer 2013 so was so excited to read your post!
We ( 8-10) of us are contemplating London, Bath, Dorchester( for Thomas Hardy) Lyme Regis ( J. Fowles), off to Chawton and then north to Oxford, thru Chipping Campden to Stratford and to Haworth with a return to Heathrow from there. I think we are going to rent cars. Please post how your trip planning is coming along and how it went when you return. All of these tips you are getting is helping me think through our planning too- thanks!

Anyone planning to visit Haworth might also be interested in visiting Hebden Bridge which is very close by (about 7 miles) for the Ted Hughes/Sylvia Plath connections.

About 7.5 million Americans suffer from psoriasis. Between 1 and 2 percent of the population have the non-contagious but uncomfortable skin disorder in some form. The red raised lesions and silver-scaly flakes of psoriasis are part of their lives. So is a constant search for a cure. Research since1995 shows psoriasis starts in the immune system when faulty signals to the skin cells makes them reproduce too quickly, says dermatologist Dr. Richard Langley. Modern treatments, especially biologic drugs (created from living cells) run into the thousands of dollars. The search for cheap cures goes on.
Counter psoriasis
Few would expect to pay $3.79 (2009 price) for an ounce of ointment that cures psoriasis. Nevertheless, that's how much hydrocortisone 1 percent retails for in major drug stores in the U.S. It makes no claim to cure psoriasis. But it's a mild topical steroid, and stronger topical steroids, available on prescription, work quickly and control psoriasis symptoms well, says Langley. The ointment says it relieves itching due to, among other things, psoriasis and eczema. A basic moisturizer, like aloe vera, could improve mild psoriasis symptoms if applied in tandem with hydrocortisone 1 percent. Langley says moisturizers are an important tool to treat and control mild psoriasis.
Like psoriasis, eczema has no medical cure but a lot of containment treatments. As many as 20 percent of babies and children and 1 to 2 percent of adults get eczema--a total of 10 million Americans. Mild eczema gives patients dry, hot and itchy skin, which is broken, raw and bleeding in severe cases. Several readers at earthclinic.com praise treatment with apple cider vinegar, which is a cheap, and mention many other cheap products to relieve eczema symptoms.
Looking for a cheap cure for psoriasis on the Internet? You are not alone. There are many offers out there. Author Jim Longnecker does not offer a pill but a pathway to a drug he says even the dermatologists may not have heard about. He says treatment with the drug costs just pennies a day and doesn't weaken the immune system. Longnecker will his information, saying what the drug is and where to buy it, for about $25. He says he has no medical background but after 25 years of moderate to severe psoriasis, he's published his findings in two books and several reports and has been in remission since 2003. He offers money-back guarantees.

Abraham Lincoln: Most Influential Man in American History
An Inspiring Story of Struggle
Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of America's greatest heroes due to both his incredible impact on the nation and his unique appeal. His is a remarkable story of the rise from humble beginnings to achieve the highest office in the land.The son of a Kentucky frontiersman, Lincoln had to struggle for a living and for learning. Five months before receiving his party's nomination for President, he sketched his life:
"I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families--second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks.... My father ... removed from Kentucky to ... Indiana, in my eighth year.... It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up.... Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher ... but that was all."
His law partner said of him, "His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest."
Issue of Slavery and Portryal by Steven Speilberg
Abraham Lincoln is often referred to as "The Great Emancipator" and yet, he did not publicly call for emancipation throughout his entire life. Lincoln began his public career by claiming that he was "Antislavery" -- against slavery's expansion, but not calling for immediate emancipation. However, the man who began as "antislavery" eventually issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in those states that were in rebellion. He vigorously supported the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery throughout the United States, and, in the last speech of his life, he recommended extending the vote to African Americans.
The Steven Spielberg directed depiction of the end of Lincoln's first term as president was a compelling story of how the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution came to be. It was a bittersweet journey, reminding viewers of how far this country has come, yet surprisingly it also revealed how much things in America have stayed the same.
In the film, Lincoln, played by Daniel Day Lewis viewed the institution of slavery as an immoral stain on America's soul, a blemish that ultimately had to be removed in order for the country to live up to its potential.

Measuring Food Safety Preferences: Identifying Consumer Segments
Conjoint analysis was used to estimate individual preference functions for food safety attributes. Consumer segments were constructed by using cluster analysis to form groups which were homogeneous with respect to preferences regarding food safety. Although substantial differences existed among the three distinct groups, consumers in all segments were willing to pay a moderate amount to ensure that apples met established safety standards. However, a policy which restricts pesticide use would likely result in substantial consumer dissatisfaction, unless it could be achieved with little impact on price or quality.

Tickets went on sale last week for a slate of events that will celebrate the reopening of Thalian Hall in May.
Tickets went on sale last week for a slate of events that will celebrate the reopening of Thalian Hall in May.
The main stage of the historic Wilmington theater, which was built in 1858, has been closed for renovations since September, although events have continued to be held in the ballroom and the studio theater.
After a two-night, invite-only grand opening May 14-15, the first public event is May 16, when Wilmington playwright and composer R.V. Fulk's musical "The Madness of May" makes its debut on the main stage. (It was produced in Thalian Hall's studio theater in 2007.)
It'll be an appropriate kickoff for the theater's first extensive renovations since 1990, which will get a spring awakening of sorts after the madness of six months of construction.
There will also be a public dedication ceremony, the return of the Cinematique film series to the main stage and a weekend full of events suited for families and children.
The full grand reopening schedule is below.
Call the box office at 632-2285 to order tickets to any of the following events.
Grand reopening show and reception: Back-to-back red-carpet, back-tie events featuring performances of "The Madness of May" on the main stage will be held May 14-15. Invitation only.
'The Madness of May': Ray-Lee Kennedy directs this original music based on John Galsworthy's short story "The Apple Tree." Features a mix of talent from Wilmington and elsewhere. 3 p.m. May 16 and 23, 8 p.m. May 20-22. $25.
Public dedication: Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo and the Wilmington City Council, who meet and have offices in the City Hall portion of the Thalian Hall building, formally dedicate the renovated theater. Public is invited to tour the main stage and lobby. Free. 5:30 p.m. May 18.
Cinematique: The long-running film series, a partnership between Thalian Hall and public radio WHQR 91.3 FM, returns to the main stage with "The Last Station." It stars Christopher Plummer as the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (Plummer grabbed a best actor Oscar nomination for his performance) and features Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren. 6:30 p.m. May 24 (includes special WHQR reception) and 7:30 p.m. May 25-26. $15 May 24, $7 May 25-26.
'There's No Business Like Show Business': Variety show featuring young talent from musical theater groups and the public school system. Thalian Hall executive director Tony Rivenbark "really wants to get young people into the theater to see what it has to offer," said box office manager Judy Greenhut, who will lead her dance students through a tribute to Michael Jackson that includes a performance of the dance from his legendary "Thriller" video. 7 p.m. May 28. Free.
'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe': Stageworks Youth Theatre reprises their "shadow theater" performance of the C.S. Lewis classic, which ran at UNCW's Kenan Auditorium earlier this year and featured a mix of kids, adults and puppets. 3 p.m. May 29. Free.

DEFRA takes stock on trading as levy agreement firms face up to risks
Many companies under climate change agreements (CCAs) have not woken up to the potential for emissions trading to insure against the loss of exemption from the climate change levy. Officials are struggling to stimulate demand in the CCA sector, and plans to allow more direct participants and emission reduction projects into the trading scheme are on the back burner.

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama announced new measures Tuesday to protect ocean ecosystems, as scientists, diplomats, industry leaders, and heads of state gathered in Washington for a two-day conference dedicated to ocean preservation.
In a recorded statement to attendees at the Our Ocean conference, the President cited recent efforts by his administration to limit carbon output from power plants as a first step toward promoting ocean health.
"Today," he added, "I'm building on that promise by directing the federal government create a national strategy to combat black-market fishing that threatens our oceans, undermines our economy and often supports dangerous criminals."
"And like Presidents Clinton and Bush before me," said Obama, "I'm going to use my authority as president to protect some of our most precious marine landscapes, just like we do for mountains and rivers and forests."
The conference was hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry, who called ocean protection "a vital international security issue," affecting "the capacity of people to exist and live where they live today."
In his opening remarks on Monday, Kerry said, "I want us to walk away from this conference with more than ideas. I want us to walk away from here with a plan, a plan that puts an end to overfishing through new rules based on the best available science."
On Tuesday, Kerry applauded the president's pledge to curb black-market fishing, saying, "If there's no market, we have an ability to really be able to begin to diminish the impact of illegal and undocumented, unwarranted fishing."
Both Kerry and Obama spoke about how their childhoods, in Massachusetts and Hawaii respectively, influenced their appreciation for oceans and sea life.
Perhaps the real star of the conference was actor Leonardo DiCaprio, whose philanthropic foundation supports nature conservation projects around the world.
Earlier this year, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation pledged $3 million to the ocean conservation organization Oceana, and on Tuesday, the actor announced he would be committing an additional $7 million to promoting ocean preservation.
"Without healthy oceans we are in serious trouble," said DiCaprio, "and the outlook for their health is not good."
The actor also called on world leaders to increase preservation efforts in their countries, saying, "The only way to address problems of this scale is through smart collaboration between governments, communities, organizations and scientists."
DiCaprio added, "I stand here today to challenge all of you to step up, to utilize your positions of authority to ensure the health of the oceans that are so vital to people's lives all around the world."
An avid diver, DiCaprio said he has seen the effects of ocean degradation firsthand in his travels.
"What once had looked like an endless underwater utopia is now riddled with bleached coral reefs and massive dead zones."
"Because of modern industrialized fishing, ships are heading into ever deeper waters in search of catch, only to find ever dwindling stocks," he added.

Forgive me if this is asked elsewhere - I really did look around before posting.
I have a few small sites up and am beginning to experiment with different affiliate and advertising programs. Some of my sites are in raw HTML, others PHP, some Drupal.
My immediate hurdle is trying to figure out how to rotate ads that I get from Commission Junction. I had been using Adsense, which is great - just stick in the Javascript and it rotates whatever it wants.
But I am starting to notice that at least half of the Google ads are way off target for my audience. So I wanted to mess around with affiliate programs, starting with CJ.
Do you guys use an ad serving platform like DART or OpenAds or something to rotate different advertising creative into ad slots? Or change it manually?
It's hard for me to believe that having a visitor look at the same ad in the same slot on every visit on every page of my site is optimal. I know DART, while too expensive for me right now, will typically "frequency cap" ads.
March 29th, 2009, 02:11 PM #2
I use the newer model of OpenAds - OpenX. Its working fine for me other than being at tad complicated. OpenX also had a free hosted version of their ad server, I stopped using it because the interface seemed to be much slower than when I hosted it myself.

Thanks for the reply.
Was looking at OpenX, esp. the hosted version. Really prefer to minimize the stuff I host since I'm not really that technically proficient and I generally prefer to reduce moving parts.
But if it's slow, that's not acceptable - you sure don't want ads to be the LAST thing to load on a page!
March 29th, 2009, 09:00 PM #4
I'm sure that the ad hosting is not slow. A t the time I tested it the management interface was slow, and I had my own install so I did not see an advantage to use there hosted version.
March 29th, 2009, 10:19 PM #5
OpenX is good - if you have Fantastico installed on your server / cPanel you can use their older version called phpAdsNew - less complicated. Use the Frames method of serving and not java as the users browsers can slow delivery down.Salty kisses, Sandy toes, and a Pirate's heart...

Introduction & My Playstyle
You Might Be THIS Good Someday!
So, Lee Sin can be played many ways, I play him different to most people I've seen. I play him more damage oriented then tank, mainly because I like being able to get in there and change the pace of the game just with my plays.
So if you'd rather play a tank based Lee Sin, do yourself a favor and find another guide.
Pros / Cons
Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike
Safeguard / Iron Will
for ward hopping so you can create great escapes, and huge plays.
Tempest / Cripple
late game.
Dragon's Rage
ward hop behind an AD carry and kick them into your team alone is worth having Lee Sin on
your team, great ability.
Hard Matchups
Lee Sin's hardest match up in my opinion. Though anyone who has good sustain is good against Lee Sin Trundle just has a good kit.
Good sustain, hard to kill and lots of damage. Udyr is very strong top and a hard matchup for Lee Sin.
Once again, sustain, tankiness and damage, just not as good at it as Udyr is.

Richard Petty Motorsports
Michael Annett started the 200-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Dover International Speedway from the 23rd position. Annett finished the 5-hour ENERGY 200 as follows:
11th—Michael Annett, No. 43 Pilot Flying J Ford Mustang
· Saturday marked Annett's 10th top-15 finish in just 12 races with Richard Petty Motorsports.
· Annett made his 117th NASCAR Nationwide Series start this weekend.
· In the early laps of the 200-mile event, Annett relayed to Crew Chief Philippe Lopez that the Pilot Flying J Ford was tight coming off of the turns. Running in the 19th position, Annett made his first pit stop of the day under yellow-flag conditions on Lap 28, and the No. 43 crew bolted on four fresh tires and made a track bar and air pressure adjustment to help remedy the tight condition.
· Shortly after the previous pit stop, Annett began to move though the field and communicated to the crew that the car was handling much better. He was scored in the 15th position at Lap 39.
· A competition caution on Lap 40 allowed the No. 43 machine to again come down pit road, this time for fuel and a wedge adjustment. The fuel-only pit stop allowed Annett to gain valuable track position and he restarted the 200-mile event in the fifth spot on Lap 44.
· The Iowa native continued to click off fast lap times and run in the top-10 for the ensuing 75 laps, despite falling a lap down to the leader on Lap 115.
· As the laps wore on, Annett keyed the mic to let Lopez and crew know that his Pilot Flying J machine was becoming loose thought the center of the corners.
· A routine green-flag pit stop on Lap 118 allowed the Richard Petty Motorsports team to change four tires, add fuel and make a wedge and track bar adjustment in an attempt to fix the No. 43's handling issues.
· The changes made on the previous stop did not seem to help the handling of the car, and the crew brought Annett down pit road one final time on Lap 153 for four tires, fuel and another wedge adjustment.
· Despite having a fast car and running lap times comparable to the leaders, Annett was unable to put the Pilot Flying J Ford in position to get his lap back and crossed the finish line in the 11th position, one lap down. Only nine cars finished the 200-mile race on the lead lap.
· Joey Logano claimed the victory Saturday afternoon in a race that saw the caution flag wave six times for a total of 27 laps.
· Annett was the highest finishing Ford in Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
· Unofficially, Annett sits in seventh position in the NASCAR Nationwide Series driver point standings heading into Michigan International Speedway in two weeks.
Annett's Thoughts after the Race: "We started off the race and made a good call there to come in before the competition caution and we already had our tires and restarted up front. We came in and got fuel and the Pilot Flying J Ford hung right there in the top-10 that whole run. The No. 18 car was just so fast that we went a lap down early on and we didn't have the car we needed after we were in that lap-down position, but we kept on working on it. Just like the other week in Iowa, we drove up to the Lucky Dog but couldn't get a caution at the end to make any benefits from it.
"I think the biggest thing today was it was hard to pass. That was the biggest thing I noticed more so than in the past here at Dover. It was probably the most aero-sensitive I have seen these cars, and I think we saw that yesterday in the truck race with the No. 2 car being dominant and then looking like a 10th-place truck when he got put back in the pack. We found that out here today, too. We were too loose and came in and tightened it up and got in traffic and we were way too tight. We got around the No. 12 in clean air and I was way too loose but I was way too tight behind him. It was a different Dover aero-wise and something we will remember when we come back here later in the year. All in all I'm happy with an 11th-place finish for our Pilot Flying J team today."

ReScore Reviews™ (1)
Thank you so much for coming down to the shop after you posted your negative response to our surecritic site. We never want a dissatisfied customer.
I also appreciated your coming down to try to help us reproduce the problem we could not reproduce initially the day you brought the vehicle in.
We did find problems with the vehicle (there were 6 codes stored in the computer). We only had 2 codes return after clearing them. The only codes that returned were PO132=shorted o2 sensor and PO715=input speed sensor. On the test drive with you, my tech was able to determine that the input speed sensor data was flat lined and the o2 sensor was shorted. Since it was close to time to close and you wanted to fix the car yourself, I offered to retest the computer data at no extra charge to you, if the check engine light come back on after the repairs to the o2 and input speed sensor by you were made..
I have refunded all your money {$148.50), which you offered not to take, but did after I insisted since you did not feel the charges were fair not because I felt I had overcharged you. You seemed like and sounded like you were more than satisfied when you left after our looking at the needed wiring repair and advice we gave you and the refund. I hope so.
Thank you for the chance for us to show you better who we are.
Cal Massey
Thank you, Serena!
Your feedback means a lot to us, was there something we could have done better?

The Belgium international has returned to Stamford Bridge following a successful loan spell at West Bromwich Albion, where he scored 17 league goals for the Baggies.
The 20-year-old had been linked with another temporary switch away from west London but newly-appointed Blues boss José Mourinho appears prepared to hand the forward a chance to impress at his parent club.
And the striker says he is determined to work hard in an attempt to become "twice as good" next season.
Lukaku wrote on Instagram: "I will train every single part of my body to be twice as good as last year.
"Stronger, faster, bring more quality into my game just to be as deadly as the great masters of the game.
"It will be hard but when you work hard you play hard. Season 13-14 is the season when I stop playing like a boy and will play as a MAN!! #ambition."

Mourinho thumbs-up for inter aces
INTER MILAN coach Jose Mourinho has given a thumbs-up to the job done by his players so far this season.
The four-time defending champions are cruising on top of Serie A and Wednesday's 1-0 win at Chievo saw Inter maintain an eight-point cushion over scudetto contenders AC Milan at the halfway point of the campaign.
With the Nerazzurri unbeaten at the San Siro and having suffered only two defeats in 18 games, Mourinho has reason to be happy.
"I am extremely satisfied," he said. "My team is showing a lot of character and this is something that can only make a coach happy.
"I can talk about tactics and individual performances, but at the end of the day, what makes the difference in games is the character displayed by the team.
"I have a lot of top professionals on the pitch and they do a great job."
If results go their way, Inter's lead could increase to 10 points this weekend. The Nerazzurri host rock-bottom Siena tomorrow, while Juventus take on AC Milan on Sunday.

Lake Johnson Remarkables Queenstown, maybe 45 minutes walk from where I live, looking South or S.E. I'm going back to get more along lake looking more to left, East, so from different angle.

Thank you lloyds. I should admit that I have a great subject muse in my wife. She is the competitor second from the right (#17). She has been competing for the past 3 years and really got me into photographing bodybuilding and figure competitors.

She looks great. Good you do it together. I don't know how only one person in a marriage could do it without the support of the other. How'd she do in this competition?
She won her height class (tall), masters over 35, and the overall. We are at the Team USA Chapmionships in Teaneck, NJ this weekend where the top competitors can win their pro cards to compete in the IFBB competitions.
