This is the place to be, where palm trees sway and the sun shines. To those stuck under a raincloud or in a snowdrift, this is the place of your dreams. If your sky is steel-gray and damp, think sunshine. If you have cabin-fever, get ready for a break.
The sea is calling. Time to jump in.
Thinking about where to go while you're here? The beach of course, can't miss Kennedy Space Center, Brevard Zoo is one of the top ten small zoos in the country says Trip Advisor, and catch a cruise from Port Canaveral--second in the world for popularity with cruise passengers. What else? Put it in your BEACH BAG....fill it up!
Before you book your flight, choose the cruise, rent the travel van, or make that final commitment to get off work, go ahead ... check out all these categories of things to do. You'll be surprised-amazed, actually. Maybe you should add another day or two on the Space Coast.
Get our Vacation Guide or our Adventure Guide, learn about Hidden Gems, peruse our Cultural Events Calendar and check out the Launch Schedule.

Create a bugle bead bracelet from The Bead Studio and wear it to dress up an everyday ensemble or give as a gift!
- 1 yard .014 Soft Flex Wire
- 2 3-1 Spacer Bars
- 6 crimp beads
- 1 clasp
- 2 jump rings
- size 3 bugle beads (we used 64)
- size 8/O seed Beads (we used 43)
- Use the crimp beads to attach the wires to one of the spacer bars. 9" pieces on the outside loops and the 18" folded in half & crimped to the center loop.
- On the outer wires alternate seed beads & bugle beads until desired length is achieved. We used 17 seed beads & 16 bugle beads. You must use an even number of bugle beads for the pattern to end properly. Crimp ends of wire to the outside loops of the other spacer bar.
- To build the center, add 1 seed bead over both wires, then a bugle bead on each wire and weave the wires through the seed bead on the outer row.
- Add a bugle bead on each wire, then a seed bead on both wires. Repeat this pattern until you have reached the loop on the spacer bar. End with a seed bead; add the crimp bead to both wires, thread through the loop & back through the crimp bead. Crimp securely. Trim excess wire.
- Use the jumprings to attach the clasp.

text: Those who watched the Sugar Bowl saw a Gator team that tried and failed to win by throwing. We got down early and we just couldn't do it. Lots of reasons, poor pass blocking, it's not who we were, and first year in new system, and played a good D. Let's just say in the course of this year, we are behind by two or more TDs. Could be due to turnover taken to the house, could be punt or kick return, could be a combo of things. Our current style is methodically plodding down the field, eating clock. A penalty here and there, a dropped pass, incompletions, rbs getting stuffed can easily eat clock and have nothing to show for it. I am hoping WM has contingency plans to move the ball quickly if needed by air. We have seen this with uga when they needed to score quickly vs clemson. Sometime during the course of this year, we will need to scrap our gameplan and go to plan B. I am hoping this team is ready to do that. So far, I've yet to see it. I'm hoping this year is different. JD is in the second year of same O. Hopefully the OL improves pass blocking. I believe Matt Jones and our FBs are better at picking up blitzers. I hope our wrs are better at finding open areas. At some point, I would like for us to work on this during a game, maybe vs kentucky. The concern I have is with long drives that eat clock, will we score enough to feel comfortable in letting the ball rip? I would hope the coaches would know and the team would know that if plan B is needed we are capable. I don't know that we know that at this point and I don't know if WM will do that during the game.

Dr. James Loewen
Sociologist, Historian, and Author
Dr. James Loewen is a sociologist, historian, and author, best known for his 1995 book, "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong," which was republished in 2008. He taught race relations for twenty years at the University of Vermont and previously taught at predominantly black Tougaloo College in Mississippi.
He now lives in Washington, D.C., continuing his research on how Americans remember their past. "Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong" came out in 1999. His 2006 book "Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism," explores one of America's well-kept secrets as he unearths the making of sundown towns and discloses the fact that many white neighborhoods and suburbs are the result of years of racism and segregation. White residents of these towns used any means possible -- including the law, harassment, race riots, and even murder -- to keep African Americans and other minority groups out.
Powerful and unprecedented, "Sundown Towns" tells the story of how these towns came into existence, what maintains them, and what to do about them. It also deepens our understanding of the role racism has played and continues to play in our society. In 2012 the American Sociological Association gave Loewen its Cox-Johnson-Frazier Award, for "scholarship in service to social justice." He is the first white person ever to win this award. Also in 2012, the National Council for the Social Studies gave Loewen its "Spirit of America" Award, previously won by, inter alia, Jimmy Carter, Rosa Parks, and Mr. Rogers.

Most cooks use baking science every time they make a cake or a pan of brownies. They may not know that's what they're doing, but it is.
A cook needs to understand some basic baking science in order to be able to tweak recipes so they will turn out well. For instance, using artificial sweetener in things like cookies can produce a less than marvelous product, because the sugar does so many things int the cookie. It sweetens it, yes, but also acts as a liquid and a browning agent.
Using artificial sweetener in, say a cheesecake, is much safer because the sugar is mostly for sweetening. The eggs and cheese provide the necessary liquid, and it's a dense dessert, anyway.
So a little rudimentary baking science knowledge can go a long way.

|Actor, film producer, singer, DJ
|Years active
Idrissa Akuna "Idris" Elba (/ˈɪdrəs ˈɛlbə/; born 6 September 1972)[2] is a British actor, producer, singer, rapper, and DJ.[3] He is best known for his portrayal of drug lord and aspiring businessman Russell "Stringer" Bell in the HBO series The Wire,[4] Detective John Luther in the BBC One series Luther, and Nelson Mandela in the biographical film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Elba has been nominated for three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film, winning one for Best Actor, as well as earning four Primetime Emmy Award nominations.[5][6]
Elba has appeared in films such as American Gangster (2007), Takers (2010), Thor (2011), Prometheus (2012), Pacific Rim (2013), and Thor: The Dark World (2013).[7][8] In addition to his acting work, he is a DJ under the moniker DJ Big Driis (or Big Driis the Londoner) and a hip-hop soul musician.[9]
Early life[edit]
Elba was born in Hackney, London. His father Winston was a Sierra Leonean who worked in a Ford motor factory, and his mother Eve was a Ghanaian who had a clerical job.[10] Elba's parents married in Sierra Leone and later moved to London.[11] Elba was raised in East Ham,[12] and shortened his first name at school in Canning Town, where he first became involved in acting. He began helping an uncle with his wedding DJ business in 1986; within a year, he had started his own DJ company with some of his friends.[2]
Elba left school in 1988 and won a place in the National Youth Music Theatre, thanks to a £1,500 Prince's Trust grant. He worked in various jobs, such as tyre-fitting and cold-call advertising sales, to earn an income between roles in Crimewatch murder reconstructions.[13] He was working in nightclubs under the DJ nickname Big Driis at the age of 19, but began auditioning for television parts in his early twenties.[2] After a stint in the National Youth Music Theatre, he worked the night shift at Ford Dagenham.[13]
Acting career[edit]
In 1995, Elba landed his first role on a series called Bramwell, a medical drama set in 1890s England. He played the lead character in an episode of the first season, an African petty thief named Charlie Carter, who lost his white wife to childbirth and had to figure out how to support his newborn daughter. His first credited role arrived in 1995, with a supporting role as a gigolo on the "Sex" episode of Absolutely Fabulous. Many supporting roles on British television followed, including series such as The Bill and The Ruth Rendell Mysteries. He joined the cast of the soap opera Family Affairs,[2] and went on to appear in the television serial Ultraviolet and later in Dangerfield.[14] He decided to move to New York City soon after.[2] He returned to England occasionally for a television role, such as a part in one of the Inspector Lynley Mysteries. In 2001, Elba played Achilles in a stage production of Troilus and Cressida in New York City.[2] Idris has won the hearts of many fans such as Jimmy Everton, in his leading role in the TV series Luther.
After a supporting turn on a 2001 episode of Law & Order, Elba landed a starring role on a 2002 HBO drama, The Wire.

How to Name a Warrior (Guest Blogger: Erin Hunter)
Happy Thanksgiving!
And hallo for the last time, as we've come to the end of our Guest Blogs. Huge Thank You Purrs to the lovely Amazon folk for letting us join you here for the last month. We always love talking to you!
One of the most frequently asked questions is: How do you come up with the warrior names? At the beginning of Warriors, we never imagined how much fans would love (and, sometimes, object to!) the two-part names that we created for our characters. Fireheart, Graystripe, Sandstorm, Yellowfang, Crookedstar, Russetfur, Pouncetail all contain a hint of the cat's appearance, or character, or habits. As the Clans have grown, and more cats have been born, we've had to come up with literally hundreds of new names, but we always try to stick to a couple of basic rules.
Firstly, both parts of the name can only come from things that occur in the cats' world. Colors, plants, other animals, textures, and the weather are all good sources, as long as we can imagine a cat having experience of the object, and therefore having a name for it. That's why we don't use precious stones like Jade or Diamond (although Amber, Gold, and Silver are acceptable because they are distinct colors). It's surprising how easy it is to slip up and include a name for something that wouldn't ever be encountered by the Clans. For example, did you know that Tigerclaw was called Hammerclaw in Book One: Into the Wild right up until just before the book was published? Someone outside the writing and editorial team glanced at the script and said, How would a cat know what a hammer is? Doh!
The two parts of the name should reflect something about the warrior, either their appearance or a particularly characteristic which the Clan leader wishes to acknowledge in the final naming ceremony. For example, Sandstorm's name comes from the color of her pelt (dusty orange) and her flashes of temper. Sometimes, cats take part of their name from a cat that has been important to them (just like a Twoleg baby being named after a grandparent). Crowfeather specifically requested the second part of his name in memory of Feathertail, whom he had loved.
We compile long lists of suitable name parts, and then match them up in different combinations to find complete names that aren't too long (a name with more than three syllables is cumbersome both to type and for cats to say!), and have a pleasant ring. There's no magic formula: quite often, it's a case of trying out dozens of combinations before you find one that makes you say, Aha! That's perfect! We also get lots of help from our wonderful fans (yup – you again) who provide us with more name suggestions than we could ever dream up on our own. So thank you!
This is a particularly exciting week for us because Warriors Power of Three Book Five: Long Shadows [Ed: Phew – could these titles get any longer?] is launched! All new books are exciting, of course, but this has been one of the most eagerly anticipated titles in Warriors history. Because at long last, all those rumors about Squirrelflight and her three children are going to be laid to rest. Yes, the truth is out! The question is, are you ready for it? Some secrets have been buried in the Clan for so long, there will be uproar and upset when they finally emerge. More than one cat is going to be left wishing they had stayed buried...
Special congratulatory purrs to everyone who spotted the clues that we started weaving in as far back as The New Prophecy Book Five: Twilight--and well done for hanging on for six books to find out! As always, we're eager to hear what you think of the new story. And we hope the wait was worth it. :)
Is it too early to talk about Christmas lists? The holidays aren't that far away, you know! If you haven't started your wishlist yet, may I suggest some rather lovely reading matter? :) As well as Long Shadows (surely you can't wait until Christmas for that?!), Escape from the Forest, the second in Tigerstar and Sasha's gripping manga trilogy, comes out at the end of December, along with the paperback for Power of Three Book Two: Dark River. The paperback for Book Three: Outcast follows in March to add to your collection.
You'll be able to celebrate the arrival of 2009 with a brand new book about our wonderful bears: Seekers Book Two: Great Bear Lake launches on February 10th. The paperback edition of Book One: The Quest Begins comes out at the same time, so you'll be able to catch up with all the action if you missed the hardback. Happy New Year from us!
Meanwhile, we're busy with the fourth Warriors series, which launches in Fall 2009. Unlike previous new series, we won't be leaping forward an entire generation this time. There'll be some familiar faces to welcome you in Book One, plus some brand new characters with challenges and passions of their own. Eighteen books into the series, we haven't run out of ideas yet. There must be at least a dozen new ways to kill a brave warrior, or a wise elder, or an adorable kit... :) And there are still some questions from Power of Three that need answering, particularly about the origins of StarClan, and what happened to the ancient Clan of cats after they left the lake. A moonlit path of adventures, doomed romance, battles, torn loyalties, and rivalry lies ahead of us.
Come, walk with us, and may StarClan light our way!
Until next time, all best wishes
Vicky, Kate, Cherith and Tui x

Iowa Ranked 25th in Business Competitiveness
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CBS 2/Fox 28) -- An economic competitiveness index ranks Iowa 25th in the nation for business competitiveness.
The ranking was based off several factors. Corporate taxes played a large role in the ranking.
Iowa was ranked low for its high corporate tax rates. However, it received a very favorable ranking for its status as a right-to-work state and for having a low minimum wage.
Utah was ranked as the most competitiveness state, while New York was ranked as the least.

Anyone with some outlandish predictions? Go on, be brave!
Anyone with some outlandish predictions? Go on, be brave!
By Outlandish I am sure she means England winning!
Haha, alright Mr. Stream of (Admittedly Chuckle Inducing) Anti-England jokes! Favourite last two:Oxo are bringing out a new cube with white foil and a red cross on it. It crumbles under pressure and will be called laughing stock.David Blaine is reportedly furious after England crashed out of the World Cup - his record of doing absolutely nothing in a box for 42 days was broken by Wayne Rooney.
So what did everyone think of the opening ceremony and the first match?
Was it a penalty? Should that Croatia goal have counted?
Brazils card ranting was a joke, and it will likely carry on throughout the tournament which is a disgrace.
Croatia's goal should have counted but such is life, and no, it was never a penalty in my eyes.
SiliconAlley_Sam (13th June 2014)
what the media forgets is that a referee has a split second to make a judgment on whether he deems what he has just seen as an infringement or not, he does not have access to multiple camera angles like the TV companies do;
As per the laws of the game the referee was correct in giving the penalty as the Croatian defender definitely had both arms on the player possibly impeding his chance to get the ball to score, however the referee also has at his disposal his discretion so if he believes he saw simulation (A dive) he could have awarded a yellow card to Fred for his attempt at "Buying the decision"
This is one of those decisions where if it goes for your team you never talk about it again, if it goes against you then you spend too much time speculating what could have been and for everyone else in the middle you either remain impartial or take sides
brazil penalty.jpg
Below are the 10 offences which when committed on the field of play are re-started with a direct free kick or if the offence takes place within the 18 yard box are re-started with a penalty
kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
- trips or attempts to trip an opponent
- jumps at an opponent
- charges an opponent
- strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
- pushes an opponent
- tackles an opponent
- A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences:
- holds an opponent
- spits at an opponent
- handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)

Yes I am a football referee so maybe this opinion could be seen as bias but I have based it solely on facts.
It's unfortunate that such a speculative decision occurred in the opening game however this is football, if you take away the human element of the game you have no game !!
As for the contest, I like free stuff, but I don't know anything about football. Or the world cup.
As for the penalty... I appreciate that refs have a split second to make a decision etc. but literally everyone I've spoken to, whatever team they were supporting/had bets on didn't think that should have been a penalty. Do love a contentious decision now and then though (when it doesn't effect my team, of course ), keeps things interesting!
Video referees should be used when we are talking about the pinnacle of the sport, the World Cup is THE competition that all players aspire to play in as they are representing their country in front of millions of sets of eyes so for them it is not only a chance to be proud for playing for their nation but an opportunity to catch the eye of potential new clubs.
it's like the champions league they pay the extra money to have 2 extra officials stood behind the goals with the magic-wand looking device in their hand to assist the referee, they could easily have a video room and place these 2 referees in to analyse such big decisions
As for the penalty I am agreement with you both, I would have never gave that decision based on the other elements surrounding the decision.
I always root for the underdog and it was a shame to see Croatia not pick up at least a point
I'll finish up and get this thread back on track (apologies)
I think its a shame this incident had to happen on the opening day of the World Cup, had this incident happened in the final game of Group F (Bosnia & Herzegovina V Iran) I don't think there would be as much speculation surrounding the incident due to the two teams not being the biggest of teams in the competition
Is everyone hopeful for England tomorrow ?
I think we will definitely get out of our group but I can see us finishing 2nd on goal difference
I will have everything crossed tomorrow!
Oh, go on then. Entered.
My puns are terrible, but I don't know enough about footie to do any decent ones.
Hahaha @Garacesh they tickled me!
For everyone else:
"Although what I do know is about that huge brawl that happened in the England changing rooms. Frank got lamped 'ard. Luke Shaw the whole thing and said Chris couldn't stop Smalling. Wilshire not win with this display of 'teamwork'!"

The fact that the Immortals finally converge on "The city that never sleeps" has a delicious post-modern irony. By winning the "prize" they can "wake up and be a part of it"-to finally join humanity.Highlander at its heart is an incredibly human story. When most of us would want to live forever Lambert shows he wants the complete opposite; movingly portrayed with the loss of someone close to him through old age.The narrative jumps between various moments in history with a graceful ease thanks to some beautifully inventive transitions. The audience is never lost and disbelief is suspended remarkably quickly.Clancey Browns villain is a wonderfully camp maniac who delivers a menace equalled in the 80s only by Arnies original Terminator. Even Sean Connerys Spanish swordsman and mentors Scottish accent can be forgiven as he has lived thousands of years in countless places.But it is Lambert who anchors the film with his initial fear and joy at discovering his new abilities; and later his world weary sense of burden they bring him.

Your civil rights
The following information was discussed by Attorney Whitney Hughes on the September 25, 2007 edition of Legal Briefs on KDKA's Pittsburgh Today Live Show.
Keep in mind that despite all of the bad publicity and horror stories, first and foremost a law enforcement officer's job is to promote public safety and investigate all possible criminal activity.
That being said, there are limits to what law enforcement officers can and cannot do. You have certain rights which are guaranteed by both the U.S. Constitution and Pennsylvania's Constitution.
The following are certain questions we hear quite frequently and some helpful tips when dealing with law enforcement.
What do I do if I'm stopped by the police?
You may be stopped for questioning by the police. A stop is not the same as an arrest because, although you may be detained, you aren't moved to a different location. During a stop, the police officer may ask you questions, but you have the right to refuse to answer.
What you say to the police is always important. What you say can be used against you, and it can give the police an excuse to arrest you, especially if you bad-mouth a police officer.
You must show your driver's license and registration when stopped in a car. Otherwise, you don't have to answer any questions if you are detained or arrested, with one important exception. The police may ask for your name if you have been properly detained, and you can be arrested in some states for refusing to give it. If you reasonably fear that your name is incriminating, you can claim the right to remain silent, which may be a defense in case you are arrested anyway.
Police may "pat-down" your clothing if they suspect a concealed weapon. Don't physically resist, but make it clear that you don't consent to any further search.
Upon request, show them your driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. In certain cases, your car can be searched without a warrant as long as the police have probable cause. To protect yourself later, you should make it clear that you do not consent to a search. It is not lawful for police to arrest you simply for refusing to consent to a search. If you're given a ticket, you should sign it; otherwise, you can be arrested. You can always fight the case in court later.
If you're suspected of drunk driving and refuse to take a blood, urine, or breath test, your driver's license will be suspended.
What do I do if the police want to search my car or my house?
You don't have to consent to any search of yourself, your car or your house. If you do consent to a search, it can affect your rights later in court. If the police say they have a search warrant, ASK TO SEE IT. Do not interfere with or obstruct the police—you can be arrested for it.
Don't the police always need a warrant to search?
No. There are many situations where police may legally conduct a search without first obtaining a warrant.
Consent searches. If the police ask your permission to search your home, purse, briefcase, or other property, and you agree, the search is considered consensual, and they don't need a warrant.
Searches that accompany an arrest. When a person is placed under arrest, the police may search the person and the immediate surroundings for weapons that might be used to harm the officer. If the person is taken to jail, the police may search to make sure that weapons or contraband are not brought into the jail. (This is called an inventory search.) Inventory searches also frequently involve a search of the arrested person's car (if it is being held by the police) and personal effects, on the theory that the police need a precise record of the person's property to avoid claims of theft.
Searches necessary to protect the safety of the public.The police don't need a warrant if they have a reasonable fear that their safety, or that of the public, is in imminent danger.
Searches necessary to prevent the imminent destruction of evidence. A police officer does not need to obtain a warrant if he/she has observed illegal items (such as weapons or contraband) and believes that the items will disappear unless the officer takes prompt action. This exception arises most frequently when the police spot contraband or weapons in a car. Because cars are moved so frequently, the officer is justified in searching the entire vehicle, including the trunk, without obtaining a warrant.
"Hot pursuit" searches.Police may enter private dwellings to search for criminals who are fleeing the scene of a crime.
What do I do if I'm arrested? What are my rights?
In order to be arrested, there must be what's called "probable cause." This means that there must be a reasonable belief that a crime was committed, and you committed the crime. The police DO NOT need an arrest warrant.
After you're placed under arrest, you are protected by constitutional rights. Two important rights to be aware of are right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney. After your arrest, you aren't required to say anything else to police or investigators, until you have an attorney present. You must be given the opportunity to contact an attorney.
1. DO NOT MAKE ANY STATEMENTS!! You have the right to remain silent and to talk to a lawyer before you talk to the police. Tell the police nothing except your name and address. Don't give any explanations, excuses, or stories.
2. ASK IMMEDIATELY TO SEE AN ATTORNEY. If you can't pay for a lawyer, you have a right to a free one, and should ask the police how the lawyer can be contacted. Don't say anything without a lawyer. Don't say anything without a lawyer.
3. Within a reasonable time after your arrest, or booking, you have the right to make a local phone call to a lawyer, bail bondsman, a relative, or any other person. The police may not listen to the call to the lawyer.
What do I do if the police come to my home?
1. You do not have to let them into your home unless they have a warrant signed by a judge.
2. However, in some emergency situations (like when a person is screaming for help inside or when the police are chasing someone) officers are allowed to enter and search your home without a warrant.
3. If you are arrested, the police can search you and the area close by. If you are in a building, "close by" usually means just the room you are in.
An officer has come to see me and is asking me questions pertaining to an investigation. Do I have to talk to him?
Keep in mind that you don't know whether you are being questioned as a witness or a suspect, and the investigator may not know either. That being said, the investigator does not always have to read you your Miranda rights, and you should not consent to the questioning. Ask if you are a suspect; ask if you are free to go; ask if you are free to not answer the questions; ask for a lawyer. Remember that it is the investigator's job to get enough information to support probable cause for an arrest warrant, or a criminal complaint so that an arrest can be made.
What are Miranda warnings, and when do they have to be given? I thought the police always had to "read me my rights."
Under the Miranda Rule, if you are in police custody you must be informed of specific constitutional rights before interrogation begins. Those rights are as follows:
- The right to remain silent
- The right to have an attorney present during questioning
- The right to have an attorney appointed if you are unable
to afford one
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that Miranda rights do not have to be read until you are taken into custody. That means that you can be questioned by the police before being taken into custody, and anything you say at that point can be used against you later in court.
Helpful Tips:
- Think carefully about your words, movement, body language, and emotions.
- Don't get into an argument with the police. Remember, anything you say or do can be used against you.
- Keep your hands where the police can see them.
- Don't run. Don't touch any police officer.
- Don't resist even if you believe you are innocent.
- Don't complain on the scene or tell the police they're wrong or that you're going to file a complaint.
- Do not make any statements regarding the incident. Ask for a lawyer immediately upon your arrest.
- Remember officers' badge and patrol car numbers.
- Write down everything you remember ASAP.
- Try to find witnesses and their names and phone numbers.
- If you are injured, take photographs of the injuries as soon as possible, but make sure you seek medical attention first.
- If you feel your rights have been violated, file a written complaint with police department's internal affairs division or civilian complaint board.
Finally, contact the Allegheny County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service at (412) 261-5555 to speak with an attorney.

Factoring Trinomials, a is not 1 - Problem 3
In this trinomial I'm asked to factor and my leading coefficient not only is it not 1 but it's a negative number. For a lot of students it freaks them out but don't worry, you'll still use the same process where my first two terms need to multiply to -3.
I'm just going to guess that the negative might attach to the 3 it also might be that I have positive 3x and –x. I don't know this is a guess and check type of problem. Let me start here see if I can find something where my leading terms broke down to -3x and x now I need things that will multiply to -10.
I'm thinking some combination of 5 and 2, 5 and sorry -2 because I need them to have a negative product. Let's see how I did let's check by foiling I have -3x squared outers I'll have -15x inners minus 2x. Oh! Good you guys look there it is there's that -17x take away 10, sweet! That means I did it correctly. I was lucky on that one I got it right on the first trial.
Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't but again you guys these are just guess and check type of problems, figure out things whose product is this figure out things whose product is that and then look for combinations. You are going to have to rearrange and adjust the positive and negative signs so that when you FOIL your middle term is correct.
