Defined broadly, estate planning refers to the strategies and ways in which an existing estate should be managed or disposed off. Generally, wills, power of attorney agreements, trusts, joint tenancy and such other legal documents form a major part. There are also a number of professional financial planners, who specialize in creating and managing the estate plans of their clients. Such finance advisors, also known as expert estate planners, need to be hired, in order to take wise and informed decisions regarding planning. These experts can also raise the value of estates to the largest extent possible, by lowering the required tax rates and cutting down on related estate expenses.
There are certain specific tips that are aimed at raising the value of your estate. In order to handle the legal documents effectively, the services of an attorney is also required in estate plans. The advices, as provided by the planning experts, can be listed as under:
Business management succession planning – Irrespective of whether you (along with other partners) are the owner of a business, or manage a family firm, having business succession plans is a must. These plans, as developed by the specialized financial planners, ensure that, a business does not die down with the death or withdrawal of one or more of the business partners. If a business partner passes away, his/her survivors should receive just compensation, and business should go on as before,
Cutting down on tax rates on estates – Planning requires individuals to hold only the profitable portions of their estates. A relatively low rate of interest would then be needed to pay on these portions. For this purpose, Intentionally Defective Irrevocable Trusts (IDITs) and/or Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) are used,
Selecting the right type of company – Limited liability companies (LLC) with a single owner are considered ideal. These companies are best suited to drive down estate costs as well as maintain the value of your assets,
Life insurance and death benefits – In many cases, the owner of an estate has a life insurance policy for himself/herself. Experts are of the opinion that these policies should be restructured so that the death benefits of the policy-holders, when available to the survivors, should be free of all estate taxes,
Beneficiary of estate and retirement plans – A trust that abides by all the regulations of the IRS should ideally be named as the beneficiary of the individual retirement plans, and
Tax-effective charity payments – Charitable donations should be made in such a way that benefits related to transfer charges and income taxes could be availed effectively.
Mostly, planning aims at a gradual reduction in the amounts of estate taxes that need to be paid. More benefits can also be availed by individuals if they consult estate planning experts. These financial advisors can adopt such strategies so as to effectively increase the valuation of your estate.
Looking for an Expert Estate Planner, but not sure how to choose one? If you don't have the time to conduct thorough research about financial planning, fill out a short form and let our advisors contact you. Our experienced consultants will send you the names of advisors who are qualified and willing to help.

The pirate Slive wants to think about the rules? Does he really have time from counting his money?
Posted: 11:27 am Thursday, May 29th, 2014
SEC coaches don't want rules skirted (wait, what?) (updated)
By Jeff Schultz
You're right. It is hysterical. The SEC is by far the dirtiest league in college football. And I'm a UGA fan.
Simple...If the SEC doesn't want other schools camping on our campus then show us the money. And if they don't want to play us that's fine too. There are plenty of BIG 10, 12 and PAC 12 teams that'll break us off.
If there is anger over this issue it should be directed at GA. State for allowing the practice to take place on their campus. The coaches utilizing this loop hole are only doing this because GA. St. is allowing them to do it. I guess it must give them some extra bucks in their cash strapped program, so it is a good move in their estimate.
Other than the money angle, I don't think it will improve the quality of their recruiting in this state for GA. ST.
Franklin woud kick Pruit's butt. Just like he kicked The Beav's butt.
Who cares about James Franklin! UGA is title bound! Nothing finer in the land than a drunk&obnoxious UGA fan!
SEC is a bunch of spoiled brats. Over signing is a disservice to the kids. Bunch of duplicitous hypocrites.
My only question is this....Is any of the states Tax dollars being used for this camp? If so UGA & GA Tech should raise hell over it.
Waaaaaah, Wa,Wa,Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!
Jeff, I'm suspicious of anything you find hysterical. If you're for it, I'm agin it. It is what you might call a chasm in philosophy that can't be bridged. I think many years ago, you made a left turn when you meant to go right and somehow wound up in Atlanta. With the left coast looking for more tax revenue and fire fighters, I'm thinking the time is right for you to get lost again.
Franklin is and always will be a Jack-A$$. He is a pretty good coach though. Who cares?
I'm confused. Isn't Ga State in Atlanta? Why the hell would that idiot, Trent Miles have other schools getting any kind of foot hold in the Metro Area? Seems to me he would be cutting his own throat. Penn State and Notre Dame must really be padding his pockets. If I were the powers that be, Mr Trent Miles would be looking for a new job.
UGA will win the national title this year! Book it!
First Penn. St. and now Notre Dame.
The reason these outside programs are doing this is because they KNOW that CPJ is a weak recruiter and that UGA cannot sign all of the BCS talent from the Metro Atlanta Area.
These outsiders are sensing weakness in GT & Pajamas' Metro Atl. Area recruiting and are closing in like a pack of wild hyenas that sense that a gazelle is injured and can't run fast anymore.
Penn. St. and Notre Dame both recruit players that have the same academic profile as the players that GT recruits, YET, the CPJ apologists have told us repeatedly that CPJ & GT MUST recruit outside of Ga. to find academically qualified recruits.
That actions of Notre Dame and Penn. St. prove that this was a lie, just like I claimed all along.
So I wonder what Mr. Franklin, the purveyor of "you commit to the coach, not the school" line of thinking, will say to a Penn State recruit in a couple of years if a team from the NFL comes calling for his services. Will he say, you should have committed to the school and not the coach? I believe Mr. Franklin is about to get exposed as a fraud during his time in Happy Valley. And he still has some lingering questions about his time in Music City.
It's soooooooooo not fair, right all you hypocritical SECowards?
sec coaches cheat whenever possible to get players and keep them eligible--they don't need to be whining about other coaches doing the same thing
Notre Dame and Georgia State are doing this deal in 2015 as well. How much is Georgia State getting paid?
Who cares what James Franklin does. He live up in Coocooville. They worship a guy that allowed a rapist around his campus.
So Grantham and franklin had a actual fist fight? Gee when did this happen....your brain doesn't work does it?
@Delusionaldog Yeah whatever. Franklin was the one who ran off crying to Richt after Grantham went off on him. Franklin is a liar and cheap shot artist. He can dish it out but he can't take it.
@Dawg350 Start chillin' you afternoon case, you drunk obnoxious dog.
You mad Bro?
@caneowar Who knows, he may just be networking. Trying to secure a job down the road or something.
Trent Miles logic is pretty straightforward - and it is a good move for him. It's not like GA State is going to get players who are good enough for ND or PSU.
GSU is limited to the number of players who will visit the camp. Players who even THINK they are good enough for ND, PSU or any team from the SEC or ACC are not going to go to a camp at GSU. Have a camp with visitors from ND or PSU and you will get a higher level of player. Many of these will not get a place at the big conferences and may have interest in GA State. I am sure Cheryl Levick is 100% behind Miles.
@Dawg350 Don't jinx yourself 350.
f AUBURN is signing all the Metro Atlanta players not Georgia. May be Barn Mafia will get involved and run off ND and PSU.
@MikeBanning Penn State and ND have signed a combined 24 recruits for 2015 so far. Not a single one of them has been from Georgia. Im not sure I would say they are closing in like a wild pack of hyenas. I do applaud the effort to some how turn a James Franklin/SEC blog into a CPJ blog though. That is is some impressive psycho obsession you have.
@Delusionaldog Your SECowards comments are really funny considering you cheer for a school that is 0 and what against the SEC? Must be embarrassing to know your beloved Buckeyes can't beat teams from a coward conference!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all laughing at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know Franklin had coached at Florida State?
@AlternativeDawg UGA fans defend criminals all the time. They even once defended an athletic director who was driving drunk while cheating on his wife. You guys aren't perfect. It might not be best to cast stones at the Penn State fan base.
@AlternativeDawg You are delusional. I'm sure there have been rapes at uga under Dooley, Donnan, Goff and Richt. Go suck an egg.
@thebucket "cheap shot artist?"
Sounds like your defense - year in year out.
@thebucket He'd kick your butt too. Grantham is a punk but he was YOUR boy.
I know for a fact Franklin would whip Urban's tail and make him cry.....Franklin is definitely an A-hole!!
That's right bro....if I ever see you at the games I will bark and spit beer in your face!
@PaulinNH @caneowar I'm sure GSU will get some players at the camp who normally wouldn't attend--but they're not going to actually sign with GSU, so this is really about raising the program's profile. On the other hand, GSU is taking on a lot of new financial obligations with the move to 1A. So they're going to need to get some revenue games with nearby SEC teams. Good luck with that, Trent. You probably just cost the program several million dollars.Maybe James or Brian will have an assistant's slot open for you after you go 0-12 again. Then again, probably not.
By the way, it's interesting that everyone assumes Atlanta is an SEC town. Did ol' Jeff even CONSIDER asking Paul Johnson for a comment? I mean consider, even for one second?
The same could be said about UCF and to an extent, South Florida and in the past, FSU and Miami, Fla. You're right. Georgia State ain't there yet, but they're in a good location to get there. Inviting out of state coaches to sit up camp in your own back yard won't aide him into getting Ga State where it can be in the near future. I'm thinking along the lines of what TheBigWally posted.
Go eat a bag of rats!
@KeepOnSmilingWetWillie Auburn, FSU, Clemson, UGA, Alabama, S Car, Florida, and several other recruit Atlanta pretty regularly. In Mike's fantasy world though, GT and UGA are the only teams recruiting Atlanta.
@GTBob @MikeBanning Not True !!!!
Franklin signed 2 players from Georgia
Kelly signed 1 player from the state of Georgia
Franklin has recruited circles around GT & in some ways UGA since he arrived at Vanderbilt.
Simple question:
how much better would GT FB have been over the last 3-4 years if we had been able to get Stephon Tuitt and T.J. Jones(WR) to choose GT instead of Notre Dame?
In a lot of cases only 2-5 well placed recruits can make a difference between a 7-6 season and a 10-3 season.
But keep defending CPJ's crappy recruiting, after all CPJ does have GT FB headed in the right direction.
@thebucket the irony is off the charts. But he'll never admit it because his obsession blinds him to how screwed up his POV is. It's really unimaginable that there is any logic that makes that work at any level. I sure won't ever be able to grasp it and I am glad. That means I'm sane. LOL
@GTBob @AlternativeDawg Are you insane GTBob? You know and I know and anyone that knows CMR knows that there is absolutely no way in Hades that CMR would pull a JoePa if he knew there was an assistant coach doing that kind of crap to little boys. To suggest otherwise is absolutely insane and sick.
@GTBob Yeah there is a huge comparison between a school administration that stood by and did nothing while a crime was being committed multiple times over years and a foolish person that threw away his career being an idiot.
Hate, GTBob. You are it's slave. And you allow it. That is disgusting.
@Delusionaldog why are you even arguing this? Sandusky was allowed by the Penn St administration to do his thing for a good while. There is no comparison and if you think there is then you are as messed up in the head as Sandusky is. Sorry but you totally stepped in it on this one. What an absolute joke you are.
@Delusionaldog Your an idiot. There's never been anything at UGA like what went on at PSU with Sandusky.
Well franklin would dermorlize you!
@Dawg350 YOU TRY THAT WITH ME AND THINGS WILL GET PHYScIAL WHICH WILL not be a positive outcome for you. I would hate to have to humble you in front of your mother, gf, or child
Johnson isn't the one crying to the NCAA about changing the rules.
@caneowar @PaulinNH Wrong. No single program can sign every quality recruit. Having Penn State and Notre Dame as part of GAState camps in back-to-back years will attract recruits who otherwise wouldn't attend. It's not like PSU and ND are only signing all of the kids who attend these camps.
The leftovers have to go somewhere and if they have a good experience with GAState then they may consider the Panthers. This is a brilliant move by an up and coming program in the hottest recruiting metropolitan city in the country. How else is GAState going to recruit against the nation plus GASouthern?
Two 1 time invites are going to hurt him 10 years or so from now? I don't think so.
@ConfederateFlagBurner You may want to actually read what I said. I said for the 2015 class they have a combined 24 committed recruits. None from Georgia. Prove me wrong and name the ones who are.
@MikeBanning How bout them dawgs? troll
@MikeBanning Of course they would have improved our team. They would have improved UGAs team as well but I guess Mark Richt just wasnt a good enough recruiter to get them. Nor was Saban. Or Les Miles. Or Dabo Swinney. Or Steve Spurrier. Etc. Notre Dame probably gets on average 1 recruit from Georgia a year yet you want to pretend they are taking over the state. Its pretty ridiculous.
@thebucket Almost everyone on earth would have said the same thing about Joe Paterno before it actually happened.
@DawginCO Im not even really hating on this one. I am saying bashing an entire fan base of millions because some of them are conflicted about a man who did a tremendous amount of good for their school and community yet also committed a horrible act is just being ridiculously judgemental. You guys have your own problems and you don't always handle them well. You may not want to cast stones. I'm pretty sure your own coach would say the same thing.
GTBob wears a purple helmet?
The little man in the purple helmet is HARD to reason with sometimes
@Delusionaldog @TheBigWally There is a big difference in that Richt and the UGA administration would not look the other way and continue to protect the rapist.
@TheBigWally Or, is a rape in Athen a better rape than in Happy Valley?
@TheBigWally Rapes are rapes are rapes you idiot. Tell me there's never been a male on male rape in Athens. Go ahead, tell me. I won't believe you.
CFB doesn't seem to be able to understand simple English but he can forecast the future.
@GTBob @ConfederateFlagBurner LOL OK they will soon.
@Delusionaldog @TheBigWally Ask Sandusky
@Delusionaldog @TheBigWally Oh your right, there is man/boy rape all the time over in Athens. ESPN, CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all the other news agencies had a secret meeting and decided that they wouldn't ever report it because they like UGA.
P.S. that was sarcasm, you idiot.

Agile Tools are truly beneficial methods of the software development in highly flexible process that requires proficient team leading to a successful process. A proper collaboration between all the stakeholders are necessary, involving users, testers, developers, managers, etc. Factors like mutual agreement on the process and communal goals, dedication, willing to share the knowledge and clarity also aid in the proper functioning of agile tools. Different methodologies are used in agile process and each of the frameworks are similar as they require the iterative process. Scrum is one of the agile tools used for managing software projects and application development. Extreme Programming or XP is also a software development methodology that aims in improving the software quality and responsiveness to change customer needs. Kanban is another method that develops software products and processes focusing on timely delivery by keeping the software developers within correct limits.
Agile coding technique is a part of agile tools that is connected to the development of code techniques. Continuous Integration is a practice of software development where members of a team assimilate their work at least daily, leading to multiple integrations every day. Unit Testing is a method where individual units of source code of one or more computer programs are gathered together with associated control data, operating procedures, and usage procedures and are tested to see if they are fit for use.
Another software development process is the test driven development, where the automated test case is tested for desired improvement or new function. Kent Beck developed or rather 'rediscovered'

Facebook to go public in 2012 … and The Social Network will win Best Picture!
Every now and then I go check out online prediction market intrade to see what wacky things people are making wagers on. I was pleasantly surprised to see a plethora ("I just would like to know if you what a plethora is!") of tech-related events.
People (well 2 of them at least) are unsurprisingly expecting that Facebook will at long last go public in 2012. Nothing surprising there. The two traders willing to bet on this are pricing in a 90% chance that an IPO will happen next year. No bets on what the ticker symbol might be though. FACE is taken but BOOK and FB are available, as well as my personal suggestion: ZUCK.
But a Facebook IPO isn't the only thing you can bet on. You can also put some money down on whether the Zuckerberg biopic will win the Academy Award for Best Picture. (Disregard the fact that the Oscar nominations haven't been released yet. UPDATE: The noms came out Tuesday morning and it's no shock that "The Social Network" did get a Best Picture nod.) "The Social Network" is the clear favorite, with 62% predicting a victory. "The King's Speech" is second with 32%.
Facebook isn't the only company that intrade has contracts on though, however. There are some contracts (although with no volume as of yet) for how many iPads and iPhones Apple will sell as well as one for Netflix subscriber growth.
But my favorite (for its sheer goofiness) is a contract on whether somebody will win the Google Lunar X prize by the end of 2012. In case you're not a space geek like my colleague Julianne, Google and the X Prize foundation are offering up to $30 million in prizes to privately funded teams that successfully send a robot to the surface of the moon, have it travel at least 500 meters and relay images back to Earth.
Traders are not optimistic that this is going to happen anytime soon. They are pricing in a mere 15% chance that Larry Page and Sergey Brin will have to pony up any cash by the end of next year. Perhaps there should be a separate contest to send Eric Schmidt to the moon? Hmmm. - Paul

Bean Seeds (Bush) - "Tendergreen"
The following item(s) have been added to your basket:
Product Description:
Tendergreen Bush Beans definitely deserve their heirloom status; they have been a family staple since 1925! Tendergreen Bush Beans are heavy yielding, heat tolerant, disease resistant and can grow in just about all parts of the country as they have a fairly short growing season. These bean seeds have a great taste, tender texture and stringless pod. Tendergreen bush beans are delicious fresh, frozen or canned. It is no wonder that Tendergreen Bush Beans have been delighting generations of families!
- Fast Facts
- Planting Info
Name: "Tendergreen" Bush Beans Botanical Name: Phaseolus vulgaris "Tendergreen" Other Common Name(s): Tendergreen Improved Bush Beans Color: Green Size: Up to 6 Inches Long Days to Maturity / Harvest: 57-60 Days Sun / Shade: Sun Hardiness Zones: 3 - 9 Ships: Year-Round
Bush Bean Planting Guide
Bush beans are very simple to grow; they do well in most gardens and in most soil types. They should be directly seeded when soil reaches 65-75F (18-24C), and there is no longer a risk for a frost. Sow your bush beans 1 inch (2.5cm) deep and 2 inches (5cm) apart in row about 18 inches (45cm) apart.
In order to have fresh beans all summer, reseed your bush bean patch every two weeks and pick them frequently. If you are using an untreated bush bean seed, plant them thicker than usual, and later thin them to the desired density.
A garden inoculant may be used at planting time to help increase the soil's fertility. Bush beans grow excellent with all vegetables except the onion family, fennel, basil and kohlrabi.
Maturity days are the best way to know when to pick your bush beans. A mature bush bean feels smooth, firm and crisp.

I currently have a Canon Power Shoot 120.
My camera needs have changed.
I was thinking of getting a DSLR. I was considering the Nikon D3200 with 18-200 lens. The problem is I really can not aford it. It would take me quite a while to save up for one. The only situaiton is I don't want to be lugging around a larger camera.
I had been considering the Fuji ES30. Then Canon came out with the SX50.
I am really not sure what to do at this point.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
How about one of the compact system camera`s, Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Canon, Olympus, there made by all now, and there`s something for everyone.
If your own a tight budget have a look at the Olympus EPM1 or the Sony and Nikon entry level kits.
It would help if you could more idea of what you want sort of pictures you want to shoot with the camera, and whether you want to be a 'photographer' or are just aiming to enjoy photography and share pictures on the internet etc.
It's best to provide more information on what you want it for so that people can advise.
Certainly the SX50 looks an interesting option, and I suspect from reading reviews (I keep thinking about updating my bridge camera) that it would be more satisfactory than the Fuji (which I would not buy, based on reviews / comments etc.) - but I have to admit that I'm not yet sure either. I'm waiting for a few more reviews on the SX50, but it's by no means certain that I'll buy even if it is the best around.....

The Jailing of Niall Harnett
mayo | rights and freedoms | news report Wednesday May 05, 2010 19:26 by Eoin O L - RSC rossportsolidaritycamp at gmail dot com
On the 21st April in Ballina Circuit Court, Shell to Sea campaigner Niall Harnett was sentenced to 6 months in jail, for an assault on Garda Hugh Egan on Glengad beach. Defence barrister Leo Mulrooney summed it up, without correction from the judge, that the incident was as close to a technical offence as possible. Essentially Niall Harnett was found guilty of assault of a Garda for putting his hand on Garda Egan while Garda Egan was pulling out of a fellow protestor (myself), whose leg was caught on Shells illegally constructed fencing.

great job eoin, in one article you've just opened up and emptied out the festering can of worms that is the judicial system here in ireland, they should spend their time putting gardai and politicians on trial, heres to the day when the people will not take it any more, and common sense and decency to others takes the place of greed and corruption, i feel it may well come soon, niall and pat are prisoners of conscience, like so many others within the campaign who are stewards of the land and sea so that it may be a safe place for our grandchildren
by Chrissie - Shell to Sea Cambridge Sat May 08, 2010 08:30
Thanks for the accurate report which is entirely consistent with the video evidence; sadly, the machinery of the State again punishes those who did no crime. Thanks also to the people who speak out against the injustices done to the land & the people, reminding us all of our conscience.

Unions hope new tools will help labor-management forums be more effective
The National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations is getting ready to launch new tools to help partnerships between agency management and federal-employee unions better measure their effectiveness. A handful of agencies are months late in compiling metrics on the use and effectiveness of the forums, according to a report presented at a meeting of the labor-management council Wednesday. Unions are frustrated with the haphazard data collection.

Wow you guys really do reply to questions here on this forum and i very much appreciate it, thank you to everyone above for taking the time to reply. It's been enlightening to read and now makes me want to at least go and see whats going on at my local club.
Thanks very much again for your time and hopefully i will find a good club which will help me become a better photographer cheers all Sam
You'll only find the right one for you when you've tried a few.
I've tried four clubs over the years and each one had a completely different feel to it. I ignored the one that was hell bent on winning gongs, and the one where your equipment was a measure of your talent and if you were female you were patronised or ignored, as well as the one where every member had one foot in the grave, mentally and physically.
My club is small, very friendly, everyone talks to everyone else and there's a good cross section of knowledge and experience. We go on outings, have talks and competitions and club nights where we talk about each other's work.

Quote: My advice? give a local club a trial, but stick with EPZ.
Yep go there and come here for the times when they seem dull.
Because everyone belongs a different camera club but all come together here as the biggest and dare i say best. And as I am sure has been said before (Hotel California) phrase.(Junior section please Google) or ask Fran
LCC (Local Camera Clubs) vary considerably, and the only way to see if it suits you is to try out your local one. Most allow a guest to attend FREE once or twice before they ask for a subscription/membership fees. A lot of activity can be centred around entering photo competition locally and nationally, as well as putting a panel together for submission to something like the RPS.
went to one, had a similar bad experience, including being asked to provide a portfolio of my work to see if I was of a suitable standard to join!
Then found my current club, which I have been with for many years - the difference was incredible, they were sociable, friendly, couldn't care less what kit you have (and always willing to share kit and knowledge) and worked together to improve our skills whilst having fun.
The best bit - we now frequently out-perform the first club in various inter-club and area comps
So - its always worth having a look around and sample a few until you find one that suits you
I found that a camera club is really just a bunch of people who can get on for a evening once a week, enjoy sharing about photography and are prepared to all get involved and make it work for everybody. I'm now recognising our chairman and the team continually give of themselves to make it happen each week and they do this for the love of photography and their ability to hold a group together. Thinking about it now I'm very grateful for how they integrated me into the group, provided topics each week and improved my photography way beyond my expectations.
Thank you LCC.

Hiccup and Toothless were flying far far away from Berk for the very first time. He had finished with the dragon academy at his village and asked Astrid to take over for a while. Hiccup has always wanted to go on an adventure with Toothless far beyond their village and now was his chance. They then reached a cove where a waterfall flowed down to the ground. He then saw a tall strange tower a few feet away from the waterfall and pointed it out to Toothless. "Toothless, down there." Toothless began to descend towards the ground and Hiccup hopped of off him. He looked up towards the tower as his feet met the ground. "What is this…."
Rapunzel let her long, long hair fly around as she rested her head on the windowsill, she then looked down and saw a boy and a..huge beast. She didn't clearly see it, it had wings..really big…and hopefully it doesn't use those claws to chop her hair off. She then did this squeal where not a sound came out, that means she was frightened for an amount of time. She got her frying pan and looked down again, "Who are you?" She said in a loud manner, trying to act brave and intimidating. Well, she wasn't intimidating at all. "And what is that?" She used her pan to point to the black animal. Pascal, her chameleon, then puffed his chest out, also trying to look brave and intimidating to the animal. But, also failing.

Cyclic Loading and Cyclic Stress
Cyclic loading is the application of repeated or fluctuating stresses, strains, or stress intensities to locations on structural components. The degradation that may occur at the location is referred to as fatigue degradation.
Scientific Fundamentals
Fatigue design of engineering components has been under intense study since the early days of its discovery in Europe in the early 1800s. After many years of study it became clear that a systems view of fatigue was needed to assure that all of the parameters involved in the fatigue process are considered adequately. Figure 1 shows the basic systems view proposed in 1971 (Hoeppner 1971). Only the initial parameters to be considered in a typical fatigue design are shown.

I've been Frosted
Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841
Happy Birthday! Hope it's a good one!

Happy JoyDay!
Kids, Story telling time! :D
It all started when B1A4 debuted last year, many people commented on the resemblance of their Main Vocalist, Sandeul with Sungmin. Then netizens came up with this theory:
Quite a few number of people liked the idea (including us), and from then on, Sandeul was commonly referred to as Kyumin's child.
And they lived happily ever after. ^_^

Hell yeah!

The Carolina Panthers don't know what position they'll be drafting in yet, but they have a good idea. When April rolls around the Panthers will have the eighth or ninth pick depending on a coin flip that will take place after the playoffs conclude. Drafting eighth would be nice but it won't be the end of the world if the Panthers fall back a spot, especially considering all of the areas that need to be addressed.
After seeing Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon and Alshon Jeffery dominate in yesterday's games I am now wondering if Carolina should make the leap and draft a receiver. Yes, the position isn't the biggest need on the roster but it is up there. Steve Smith is a free agent to be after next season and isn't getting any younger. Drafting the heir apparent wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. This year's receiving corps is loaded and should be chalk full of difference makers in the NFL.
There's a good chance that Blackmon–the best receiver in this class–won't be available when the Panthers pick, although I can't say that for certain with how unpredictable the draft can be. How many would have thought that Blaine Gabbert would have fallen to the 10th pick a year ago? Even if Blackmon isn't on the board there still is a possibility that Carolina goes with a receiver.
Michael Floyd is a name that you probably have heard of but not in the same sentence as a Blackmon or Jeffery. Believe me when I say this: Floyd is going to be a player in the NFL. He has the size, hands and leaping ability to be a future Pro Bowler if he can keep his head on straight. If it weren't for some off the field issues with Floyd he would be mentioned in the same category as Blackmon and Jeffery.
Those three prospects are the only ones worthy of the eighth or ninth pick. It's possible that the Panthers could hold off on drafting a receiver and try to snag one later on. Kendall Wright is flying up draft boards after he posted an impressive season and some feel that he could be the next Smith–I'm not necessarily buying into that, but he could be a nice slot receiver. Nick Toon is another name you'll be hearing about and the same goes for Mohamed Sanu who just declared for the draft today.
Like I said earlier, the draft is loaded at the receiver position but as far as elite prospects go it stops after Blackmon, Jeffery and Floyd. The Panthers will be getting David Gettis back next season and Brandon LaFell will have another year under his belt, which makes the receiver debate such an interesting question. Personally, I would draft Blackmon if he is available in a heartbeat and have to think long and hard about Jeffery and Floyd.
There's still plenty of time before the draft, so this discussion will continue to rage on in the upcoming months. But what I want to know is what you would do if you were making the decision for the Panthers.
Let me know below.

text: Edwin Kreiss is a former FBI agent whose discovery of a Chineseespionage ring made him a lot of enemies and resulted in his early retirement.Now his daughter is missing, and nobody, least of all a junior G-woman namedJanet Carter, is going to keep him from finding her. Browbeating the one clue toher disappearance out of a terrified college student, Kreiss follows hisdaughter`s trail to a deactivated federal arsenal in southwestern Virginia,where a fanatic whose son was immolated at Waco is cooking up a plan to blow theATF to bits. Kreiss is uniquely qualified to play his role as hunter-in-chief. He`s beentrained as a "sweeper," a job title that refers to the cleanup of rogue agentsand other enemies of the state, and he took a few high-tech search-and-destroygoodies with him when he was prematurely put out to pasture by his formeremployers. Now another sweeper wants to put him out of action, and JanetCarter`s getting conflicting signals from her own superiors about just how muchcooperation they`re willing to give Kreiss as he sets out to rescue hisdaughter--and, incidentally, redeem his own troubled past.P.T. Deutermann is a skillful writer who knows how to tell a story. This brisklypaced thriller almost turns the pages by itself. Carter, the ostensible heroineof the novel, never quite extinguishes her ambivalence about either Kreiss orthe agency she serves, an attempt at multidimensionality of character that`smore confusing than revealing. The ending hints at a continued relationshipbetween them, but it`s Kreiss, rather than Carter, who engages the reader`sattention and whose future we really care about. --Jane Adams

The Pirates won again last night, taking a 7-1 victory over the Brewers, to complete the four game series they played with the Brew Crew. Liriano put in a very nice start (5.2 IP, 1 ER, 7 Ks, 3 BB), Snider hit his first home run, an absolute bomb that went an estimated 458 feet, which you can see here, and the Pirates had a big sixth inning rally, scoring four runs on five hits.
Suffice to say, the Pirates won this game pretty easily, even though it was tight until the rally in the sixth. The Pirates have been playing good baseball of late, too. The Pirates are 9-5 so far through the month of May, against a fairly soft schedule so far (except a series with the Nationals).
Good news for the Pirates is that the schedule is expected to get even softer over the next week, with two three game series, one with the Astros, and the other with the Cubs. While neither one of these teams should strike great fear in the heart of any solid baseball team, the Pirates absolutely need to take at least four of the six games that they split between the two teams. The Pirates have played surprisingly well against teams with winning records this season, but have struggled some against the lower quality teams in the league, seemingly playing to the level of their competition more than we'd like to see.
The Cardinals appear to have an easy schedule for the rest of the month, so for the Pirates to keep pace right now, they really must take care of the bad teams that they get an opportunity to face. Winning baseball teams (which we haven't seen in twenty years in Pittsburgh) take care of business against teams that they're supposed to beat.
The next step for the Pirates to get out of this awful black hole of the last two decades is to start beating the bad teams on a consistent basis. They get their first opportunity to do so tonight at 7:05 against the Astros, with Jeanmar Gomez on the hill.

Fifty years ago this week, Dallas and Fort Worth argued over airports, developers talked of an Arlington domed stadium, and the Dallas Cowboys first hit training camp in Thousand Oaks, Calif.In New Orleans, a man named Lee Oswald lost his job at a coffee company.He would not work again until the Texas School Book Depository.We are about to relive 1963 day-by-day, building up to Nov. 22 and a memory Dallas once dreaded.Now, Dallas plans on being the center of attention to mark 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was killed at Dealey Plaza.But along with Dallas, the world also will be watching Fort Worth.The last hours of Camelot began at what is now the Hilton Fort Worth downtown, with a Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast and a parking-lot speech out front at what is now the site of the JFK Tribute.Much of that Fort Worth morning will be a centerpiece of a new National Geographic Channel documentary, JFK: The Final 24 Hours, remembering Kennedy's trip through Texas on his way to Dallas."We have the speeches, but we also have these great stories of people in Fort Worth who got up early to see the president," said Robert Erickson, the California-based producer.Former Fort Worth Press reporter Julian Read, then Gov. John Connally's press secretary, consulted on the project.Crews visited in May to interview those who attended, including Chamber of Commerce breakfast guests and five women from the Carter-Riverside High School Class of 1964."It's a delight to see these five ladies in photos, and then see them come to life at the JFK Tribute," Erickson said."They came to the speech so early, the Secret Service wondered who they were. And the lovely people who lined the road in River Oaks [for a motorcade] and the art exhibit — I don't want to upset anyone in the other cities, but Fort Worth absolutely rolled out the red carpet."Much of Fort Worth's 50-year observance so far has centered around "Hotel Texas," the art exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art of masterpieces assembled from private collections for the Kennedys' suite at what is now the Hilton.The exhibit comes to the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth on Oct. 12. There also was talk of a commemorative breakfast, but nothing has been announced.Dallas has a formal event at Dealey Plaza, but tickets are mostly reserved for Dallas County residents. Tarrant County residents can enter a limited drawing for a few seats.Fort Worth doesn't view the assassination the same way as Dallas, said Gene Smith of TCU and the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History."We have the Tribute downtown now where we can remember him every day," Smith said."We remember JFK's speech. To us, it's about the excitement of that presidential visit. To Dallas, that's where it all came to an end."This year, Fort Worth is where the memories begin.

Miss Rap Supreme Castaways: Khia
The truth is, Khia's been competing all her career. Propelled by 2002's "My Neck, My Back," Khia moved over 800,000 units independently to start her mainstream career, but sustained her name with a vicious, catty beef with Trina. With that approach, and without another mainstream single, Khia has stayed relevant by linking up with Gucci Mane's former management, and doing a similar thing to him - claiming she's too trill for all of us to ever really understand. Explaining her attitude after Vh1, how Lil Wayne is her baby, and what makes up the style, do you understand Khia?
HipHopDX: On the reality show you were recently a part of, Miss Rap Supreme, the explosion between you and rival Mz. Cherry was pretty intense. She definitely struck a nerve with you when she called you a one-hit-wonder. But as the most experienced rapper in the house, why didnt you just brush it off your shoulder and take the high road?
Khia: "Struck a nerve" definitely was not it. Im from the same streets that shes from, so I definitely knew that she was tryin to put on for the TV. So it was like, "Little girl, accomplish a one hit.' I know you personally so for you to even try meIll slide you under this refrigerator. So when you know somebody, its like cmon. I know Mz. Cherry personally. So, its like, dont put on for the TV.
DX: Why did you cheat on the elimination freestyle?
Khia: I cheated during the whole show. That was my plan and my main objective for even going on the show. Everyone seems to not get it, but Youre My Girl was already on Thug Misses, Respect Me was on Gangstress, my object for going on the show was not to compete with a bunch of amateurs, but to promote my music. That was the whole reason why I went on the show and my mission was accomplished so I bowed out gracefully. It was great.
DX: I get that your whole point was to use the show for publicity, but can you at least admit that it would have been better for you if you hadnt cheated? That way you could stick around longer and gain more exposure, or even win the $100,000?
Khia: Yes and no. Because Serch was a hater; he already knew that everyone elses stuff was pre-written to but because mine was known; it was a conspiracy. They knew I had to go. Because they know I have shit for years and days, I would've never ran out of lines or forgot my words like Mz. Cherry did because my catalogue is out of the roof. I write songs for a living. So just because my song are known, I got eliminated? And because their songs are not, they didnt? Because Serch knew everybodys freestyle was pre-written so I felt like it was time for me to go because he was hatin.
DX: How do you know for sure everyones freestyle was prewritten?
Khia: What do you mean? I lived with them. I was with them everyday. They were all raps that I had already heardThe jokes on you Serch, if [everyones freestyle wasnt already pre-written] you should've told me [when I was disqualified] You did You My Girl, you did Fuck Them Other Hoes, you did Hater Walk, and you did Respect Me; you gotta go. I did pre-written songs through the whole show! So, they knew. They was just hatin. How can he be a judge when Im not giving him any respect?
DX: Speaking of respect, Dont you think that just like you demanded respect from the girls in the house who were less experienced than you; that you should show respect to a pioneer like Yo-Yo who paved the way for female emcees like yourself?
Khia: Please, Yo-Yo is a joke. She just wanna make everybody look like a fool. Yo-Yo wasnt there to show any love to the females in Hip Hop. They picked a cast of crackheads, strippers, bull-daggers and a veteran to try to get tension going in the house. What makes for better TV: A whole bunch of lyricists or a whole bunch of jackasses? Yo Yo didnt pick girls with talent. Yo-Yo picked girls with issues. That makes better TV. So, no, she dont get respect [from me]. ..I dont even wanna be considered a female rapper; Im an artist. Im a music composer. Im in a category all by myself soIm not even in a category with all of them
DX: The last time we talked you said you were the queen of the south. Now its over a year and some time later as we're talking again, so do you feel the same and why?
Khia: Yes I feel the same and Im the queen of the south because Im the only woman in Hip Hop thats had a worldwide hit that sticks like grits. What other female artist writes, composes, and produces all three of their albums? None of their albums, none of their songs, if thats the case. So until their able to do that Im the queen of the south. I dont even want to be in that category female emcees, because Im not an emcee, Im a creative artist that creates music.
DX: Alright so how you feel about other people hating that might feel you not the queen of the south?
Khia: They can hate, its either you with me or against me. Either or thats whats up, I love it.
DX: To keep it real with me, what does it take to be the queen of the south and how long will you have the title?
Khia: You definitely have to have your own business, you have to be the boss of your own enterprise, you have to run your own ship. You have to write, produce, and compose, and distribute your own music. You have to be the boss lady, you cant work under others, you cant let others dictate what you put out, how you want to look. You cant let them come in and select writers for you, select producers for you. You have to produce your own image, your own style, and your own work. You have to love you yourself and if your doing what your supposed to be doing your music will come through your music. I feel like a lot of people are in positions and they aint supposed to be there.
DX: So you airing it out right now that a lot of these females dont handle their business and a lot of dudes is handling stuff for them?
Khia: I dont have to keep repeating myself over, we already know how it goes. Thats why Im not gonna even put myself in the same category as them because they not even on my level, they dont do what I do.
DX: How do you feel about your hardcore lyrics and the image you representing for the women out there, do you feel thats the case?
Khia: Yeah because all my music is real, its me. Im happy that women can relate and support me and my music. All I can is be me,
DX: Now you know I was going to ask, but what is the problem with you and Trina? Let it be known and keep it real...
Khia: You know Trina is so last year and everybody wants to mix the truth with beef. I dont respect Trina as an artist, because I dont feel shes talented and shes not on my level. For me to say that about her they mix that with beef in which all I did was told the truth. You dont write your stuff, you dont do what I do. She took offense and put a diss record out, not once, she put a lot of diss records out when her album dropped. I thank her for the promotion, I dont have to be writing diss records I write hits, thats what it is. Im not putting no more diss records out, none of that. They mix the truth with beef and they can have fun with that. I make music and thats what I do.
DX: Trina just released the new album Still Da Baddest, when I read your album review you called it Still Da Nastiest, why did you say that?
Khia: Because thats what it is, if you read the review I spoke on everything. Im done, Trinas not even on my level so I dont even have to speak on her anymore. Everybody knows how I feel about Trina.
DX: Speaking on her review some people said you were hating. Can you explain to them why your review was not hating, but constructive criticism?
Khia: You know you gonna have people that agree and disagree. I thank them all for the promotion, its all promotion. Its entertainment and people need to be entertained.
DX: If she wanted to call peace would you?
Khia: You know what? Trina is like the whore in your neighborhood nobody likes, the whore at your school nobody likes. Hoes never get respect and it is what it is. Its no beef, I dont respect her as a women period and thats just what it is. She can do her and Im a do me. I can thank her for the promotion.
DX: Aside from that you have a new album coming out called Nasty Musik. So what is so nasty about your music?
Khia: Nasty, real, blunt, raw, upfront, in ya face, thats me. When its nasty its not just because its sexual, its nasty because its real and its for the thugs and thug misses. Its hot and its my best. All my albums are platinum, no matter what the numbers say. It only gets better and its a great album.
DX: So were going to have more songs like My Neck, My Back?
Khia: Yes, you know you got that on there, its the old Khia.
DX: I was reading some on the Internet in which you was talking about Lil Wayne. This is the exact quote from what I read Im a be Weezys lady and have his baby, so whats good with that?
Khia: Yes I love Weezy, thats my baby. He gonna do big things this year.
DX: So you look forward to dating Lil Wayne?
Khia: Thats my baby. [Laughs]
DX: You have the label Big Cat Records in which you're CEO right?
Khia: Yeah, me and Big Cat did a joint venture so its Thug Misses Entertainment/Big Cat Records. We both been getting this independent money for a minute so were gonna get rich together.
DX: Youre a boss lady on the independent level, in which you said a lot of females dont handle their business and let a lot of males control them. What advice would you give to a lot of female upcoming artist out there?
Khia: If music is what you love and thats what your supposed to be doing being involved and handling your own business is a part of your job description. If you want to rap and you think its all about being on TV and playing dress-up like Trina you got the wrong idea, because you dont make your money like that. You make your money with your publishing, owning your masters, and being in control of your situation. The bottom line is that everything that glitters aint gold. "The Diamond Princess" is really the rhinestone princess, you aint really getting no money like that. You definitely have to take control of your situation and be a boss bitch.
DX: Oh so thats what Khia is, a Boss Bitch huh?
Khia: Yes, yes!
DX: With you being a women in the music industry what made you come with the idea Hey I aint letting no dudes takeover me?
Khia: You know what [laughs], once I dropped My Neck, My Back on my first album I learned early that it just was harder. It was just harder for me to get on BET, get on MTV, get on the radio. You know a lot of them was about payola, a lot of people dont see what goes on underneath the surface. I seen all of the politics, all of the snakes early on and was like, You know what I got to take it from the streets and direct from fan to artist. From me to them, I got to put it under their heads, because other than that me being the queen, me having my dreads, me being beautiful and me loving my blackness. A lot of people want you to have the weave down your back, blonde hair and blue eyes, and getting injections in your cheek bones and ass. Thats what they considered beautiful so seeing me coming through the door they didnt consider me beautiful, but I considered myself beautiful so it was time for me to take it through the streets. My fans in the streets embraced, welcomed me, and supported me. For me to be myself I had to do it myself and a lot of people sell they soul. Dont go that route, so for me, Im glad that I didnt.
DX: How you feel about the media when they say Hip Hop degrades women being a female artist yourself?
Khia: You know what its so many things that the media say its like come on. You have people that write movies, killer movies, scary movies, nobody dont say, They this and they that, so its like whatever.
DX: Back to My Neck, My Back people would like to know you still freaky like that?
Khia: The song was freaky to you? The song for me was niggas be hollering [to] suck they dick, so for me it was like, "Fuck what you got, I got my own money, I ride my own Benz, so lick my ass, nigga. I didnt feel like it was freaky I feel like it was fuck what you got, I love myself, I got myself, now please me, its not always about pleasing you. It wasnt freaky it was just love me, its not all about you."
DX: Oh so it goes back to what you were saying Snatch the cat back or something like that.
Khia: Yeah, see its a different for thug misses. Im not gonna say, "Ima fuck you and your homeboy over there tryin' to fuck me in my ass and Im rob you and set you up." Ima say, "Fuck what you got, respect me because I hustle like you do. Ima help you, we gonna help each other." Thug misses is a difference and my fan-base were like family so they know what it is. Its either youre a fan or your not.

Branding a sweet spot for law firms, research finds
Readers' comments (18)
I could debate the t*ts off this one, but on what evidence have they got to suggest that Kit Kat has got smaller? If I was Kit Kat I'd be one the phone to Quinn Emmanuel, a firm whcih in my opinion would probably be a chocolate flavoured laxative.
Also, how on god's earth is a crunchie bigger than it looks?
The Lion Bar has got smaller, I am sure of that - bit like Slaughter & May, which, I think could be the Lion Bar of the top 100.
Anonymous | 14-Sep-2012 11:42 am
FFS, have some joy in your life. It is a bit fun. If you were a chocolate bar, you would be a Penguin - that is, bloody awful!
Slaughter and May; ferrero roche. You've got to have system, haven't you?
At last - law firms with soft, chewy centres. TGFI!
If Dickinson Dees were a chocolate bar, which one would it be? I only ask as this may be a key factor in their ongoing merger talks with Bond Pearce, which I understand is a bag of Cadbury's Animal Crackers.
BTW - does the reporrt identify which firm is Cadbuury's Whole Nut?
There must be tens of firms in the City relieved not to have been likened to Cadbury's products -- formerly much-loved British names, but taken over a faceless US giant that made lots of promises about not laying off half the staff before duly laying off half the staff.
Which of the American firms is Hersheys ... ie. I am sure they love them over the pond, but we find them tasteless and insufferable?
The bar would be stale old toffies. Tough to get around, dependable, some sweet, some tough, some a bit crusty.
There's a pun in here somewhere about the Bar, chocolate bars etc, but i just cant bring myself to do it. Perhaps someone will.
The biggest joke here is the brand agency's misguided belief that this is going to make law firms take brand value more seriously. Thanks for setting us all back ten years, guys.
No Smarties among these law firms then ...
Im glad that they said this was light hearted, branding is important but ive never read such utter rubbish. Do these people get paid for producing this?
Dickie Dees would be a Freddo
I guess Halliwells would have been a Flake.
all firms are the same, law students base their opinions entirely on the niceness of the leaflets given out at law fairs and swanky websites. seriously, we do.
what, nobody wants to be a Lindt or a Guy Odin? Just shows that lawyers lead a cloistered existence.

The flood is a flood of answers not queries, you spoof the source address of

Many networks today allow spoofing.
I have not seen a perfect solution yet, at best the solutions I've seen
mentioned eliminate this one flood vector. I would suggest that when
considering which one to choose we look at what we lose with each choice.
Eliminate spoofing and you lose virtually nothing, eliminate open recursive
servers and you have just created a really powerful control mechanism for
entities to control large sections of the internet since folks from those
sections won't be able to use anyone else's DNS servers or even run their
own (much like port 25 blocking limits who can run a mail server today). He
who controls dns controls the network.
