We're a scrappy upstart, with 4 years under our belt, committed to building a sustainable business alongside very supportive clients also pursuing competitive edge and innovation. We have strong brand recognition and equity, a profit-positive balance sheet, an exciting growth story, and a proven vision! We are growing deliberately by carefully hiring the best, most dedicated and passionate people in the industry.
About the job
We have a great product and positive momentum in the insurance market. The success we've achieved is in large part by having a compelling, focused story in insurance and by aligning with supportive customers and partners to deliver and promote our collective offering.

You will be empowered and expected to challenge the norm and translate our product strategy and Go-To-Market into action.

You take and encourage constructive criticism and work towards innovative marketing programs that can match the innovation in our products.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers is giving Georgetown University $100 million, the largest donation ever in the school's history, to create a public policy school.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/14hoRm0 ) reports the gift by Frank H. McCourt Jr., who graduated from Georgetown in 1975, is scheduled to be announced Wednesday. McCourt, who lives in New York City, sold the Dodgers last year for a reported $2.15 billion after taking the team into bankruptcy in 2011.
The donation surpasses the previous record $87 million gift to Georgetown in 2010.
The new school will be named the McCourt School of Public Policy and will launch in October. It will focus on analysis of massive data files from government agencies and other sources to research education, health, poverty and other subjects.

Austin City Council Member Bill Spelman has been diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor and will take time away from his council duties to handle his health.
According to his office, the tumor was found some time last week and is scheduled to be removed Friday. He is expected to miss at least two weeks while recuperating.
"Just removing the tumor may not be enough to solve the problem," Spelman said in a release to media. "We won't know what kind of follow-up attention I'll need until after surgery. But the doctors have assured me I can be in the classroom on the first day of the Fall semester, and I expect to get back on the council dais even sooner than that."
Austin's Mayor Lee Leffingwell offered the following statement.
"Bill is a good friend and colleague. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family as he works through this difficult process. All of us at City Hall will be working closely with Bill to make sure he and his staff have all the support they need during this time. I look forward to having him back on the dais as soon as he is able," Mayor Leffingwell said.
All notes and cards can be sent to Spelman's office at 301 W. Second St., Austin, TX 78701.

Practical Science on Movement and Pain
Practical Science on Movement and Pain
This is wonderfully done. I'm going to point as many people as I can to it. In addition, I'm going to read it aloud to Buckeye. She'll approve, I'm sure.
You've done my thinking justice, and that's not something I often get to say.
I'm going to be listening to your recent interview on my way to work this morning.
Thanks Barrett, glad you liked it. But my real concern is what Buckeye thinks.
Thank you for another great thought provoking article. You mention at the start that losing range of movement in the face will affect the our ability to experience related emotions… would that then work the other way round? If someone had a facial disfigurement that created tension in certain muscles associated with an emotion do you think that person may then be predisposed to feel that emotion? Also could you extend that to muscles in the body? I'm training to work with animals in a technique which recognises a link between posture and behaviour, this view is mainly based on practical experience rather than theoretical knowledge. So I'm on the look out for any thing around this area.
My understanding is that emotion and body use can be a two way street. I have post here that is relevant:
I'd recommend Ginger Campbell's recent interview with the author of a new book on "embodied cognition." It's all there.
Yes, embodied cognition is the right word isn't it. I will check out the that podcast and maybe book. Thanks for the tip.
What I enjoyed about this is that Barrett has hypothesized a plausible specific mechanism for a much more general principle that I wrote about many years ago, The art of healing by growing up: Pain relief through the pursuit of emotional intelligence, life balance, and peacefulness. For instance, Todd, the neurotic fellow in your "dramatic example" is clearly in need of some greater emotional intelligence.
From the introduction:
My clients and readers often refer to their severe chronic pain as "another *%$@!! growth opportunity." It's almost always funny, because it is so deeply true that I never get tired of agreeing with it, and yet it is incomplete — pain isn't just an opportunity for growth. Sometimes, growth is the way out of the pain.
I've always liked that, but the article has always come up a bit short in the "so how does that work exactly" department.
Good post. I like the line about eating granola.
Yes emotional intelligence, body intelligence, it all helps. Biopsychosocial. I'm sure meditation offers some insight here somehow. I will do a post on that someday.
Todd, Buckeye howled.
Is that good?
Within this context, yes, I think it is.
[…] of physical movements as part of its process of forming mental representations. There are numerous fascinating little examples of embodied cognition, and thankfully many of them fit right into quick little blog posts such as this one. Here's […]

Excellent commentary, very thought provoking! I have some thoughts to share at some point, but must go off and take action now!

Hello Todd,
Great post,thank you.
One thing stood out for me and i am not sure i got it right.
My question is following this paragraph:
If you botox your face as much as Nicole Kidman and start to lose range of motion in some of your facial movements, you will lessen your ability feel the emotions associated with those movements.
People with severe disabilities from birth or as a result of an accident who can not move their face will lose or lessen their ability to feel certain emotions??

Google closes deal to sell Motorola Home to Arris
It's been almost a year and a half since we first heard that Google was going to buy Motorola, and just under a year since the deal closed with Google paying almost $13 billion for the company. Back in December, it came out that Google was going to offload the cable TV and internet device half of the company, Motorola Home, to Arris. Now, that deal has finally closed.
The original report of the sale said that Arris had agreed to purchase Motorola Home for $2.35 billion in both cash and stock. The deal has closed, and the final tally is that Google is getting $2.2 billion in cash and 10.6 million shares of stock. Arris is also giving 10.6 million shares of stock to Comcast in return for its $150 million investment, making Comcast and Google equal with 7.7% stock each.
Arris has also announced that its current CTO who had been running Motorola's home division since June 2012, Marwan Fawaz, would be leaving the company; and, Larry Robinson, the former VP of Motorola Home, will run the Home Devices division at Arris.
Google obviously is keeping Motorola Mobility, the cell phone hardware business and related patents, but it no longer controls the set-top box side of things. It's a good way for Google to get back a bit of the cash it spent on Motorola in the first place, but we were kind of interested to see Google keep Motorola Home, and build awesome set-top boxes with Google TV built-in.
<rant>The set-top box market is one that is in desperate need of disruption, because it's basically a big scam by cable providers. We get set-top boxes that are terrible, and have none of the advanced features that you would expect from a modern technology, and we are forced to pay a monthly fee for that terrible box. Even worse, we aren't allowed to use 3rd party boxes, because cable providers have somehow skirted the law and made that impossible. </rant>

Work Hard and Be Kind
Mon, 2012-02-27 13:20
Work hard and be kind
Work hard and be kind is one of few life rules I try to live by.
Both move you forward.
But when life gets hectic, one of them can fool you into feeling it's the only force you should feed.
Be strong to be useful. For sure. For that I have to work hard.
And being useful is many things, one of them being kind.
But why is it when you have all the time in the world, no one is there to procrastinate with you? And when you have a strict time limit with a set target, everyone wants to hang out and chat.
I have an hour and 10 minutes to train. 10 minutes to "venue" with a light run, 50 mins of stuff, 10 minute run back.
I don't mind training on my own- it may look weird, but I am weird. So are you.
On today's menu is a whole lot of monkey walking, Shirley's WOD (which was 30 precision jumps on a railing), a long ass cat balance, then balancing forwards and backwards on the same railing. All doable in 50 minutes, given I focus. I have a delicious play-list to feed me but am mildly frustrated having headed out an hour later than planned. The sun is about to go down and soon my local park goes from a yummy mummy space they air their yogafied kids in, to a drug selling hot spot. It is on!
Monkey walk starts to Labrinth feat Tiny Tepmah, and I AM an Earthquake. I know the rule is not to get up in between completing the lapses, but after doing monkey walking forwards and backwards down the length of a basketball court twice, my iliopsoas forces me to unfold. Mistake.
Queue Cute Little Lady.
Cute Little Lady, referred to as CLL from now on, is quite short, in her mid to late 60's, sportily dressed, has small, but kind eyes through which she peers curiously at the world, and has a gentle Northern accent.
CLL: "What is that you are doing there it looks really interesting I used to be a dancer you see but then I injured my foot and I can't do it so much anymore and I walked passed and I saw you doing that and I thought oooh that's a bit different and looks quite fun so I thought I'd come up and ask what you were doing because I thought I could try it at home as I used to dance and would like to be more active but am restricted with my injury?" (note there are no commas or punctuations. They didn't exist. Questions did)
Me: (saying the word 'injury' to me evokes an automatic robotic reaction in my brain: 'problem located, must solve'. CLL says the word twice and I am like a heroin junky who hasn't seen a needle for a year, forcing myself to ignore it. I reluctantly pull out the headphones and leave Breakage playing in left ear. Of course I am going to answer, I can never resist interaction, I just plan to keep it brief this time. I have only 43 minutes left)"It is called a monkey walk"
CLL: "Oh…whose walk?"
Me: "Monkey walk" (No follow up explanation from me means I am focused. Normally I would explain a lot more)
CLL: "Ah because you are walking like a monkey forward like that on all fours and what does that do then? I used to be a dancer you see (does little dance gesture)but then I hurt my foot and now I can't do it so well anymore and it hurts a little in my knee as well so I can't really do much and it is so boring really but that looks like fun and maybe I could try it at home which is why I came up but what are you doing it for?
Me: "It is part of my Parkour training" (Breakage has gone into Nero and by the mention of this word I know I am not returning to my play list anytime soon. But it's fine)
CLL: "Park…no I can't say I have ever heard of that what is that is that a form of dance or something similar to that I have never heard of that it sounds fascinating"
Me: "Parkour is moving as efficiently as you can within your own environment, amongst other things" (noticing CLL preparing more questions as that made no sense to her, I hurry to place it within some media reference) "It is jumping buildings and stair cases, fences and railings like you might have seen on TV, James Bond" (yes, cheap shot but M.I.A is a Bad Girl in the left ear, I am a frustrated girl in real life, so I take the quick shot)
CLL: "Hmmm, no I have never seen that I don't think" ( I think I am about to get back down on all fours, but…)"Ooh no my dentist or former dentist he used to work down on the blablablsomethingortheother ( I can never remember the names of roads), do you know which one I mean round the corner where the… "(I am shaking my head a lot just to show that she could probably take me there and I would still not know where it was)"well he had a son he has moved to Dorset now not his son but the dentist and his son did it yes I am sure he did do that wonderful he was used to jump all over the place oh that is really good that is great I walked passed you see and it looked so much fun so I thought I'd come over and ask" (I start to make the 'I am fading you out smile' to see if I can get back to monkey work, but…)"So how would I do this at home if I was going to do it then would I just get onto my knees and hands and go forward maybe I would have to move some furniture just to find the space?"
Me: (…and I am back) "No, never on your knees" ( Damn the teacher in me. But I WON'T ask her about her injury)"but you do it like this" (do a quick demonstration and give some pointers. I get up and draw that sigh you do with raised eye brows that says: it was lovely, but not lovely enough coz College are singing that I could be A Real Hero, which I would love to be, but for that I need to complete Shirley's WOD out so…)
CLL: "Oh great thank you that is lovely I will try that when I get home I hurt my foot quite badly you see and I had to stop dancing and it was so sad as I like being active I think we should all be really active it is very good for us it makes up happy and I thought it was so great seeing you doing that monkey business on your own as it is really quite brave and when I hurt my foot I had to stop (see, she is really sweet and this is a story I have heard many times as a Pilates instructor. Movement is so important to have and to be able do, and you are all lucky to have the freedom to have and be able to do both, so now I have my sympathy face on, diffusing that robot in my head NOT to ask about the injury and how she is now)I hurt my foot on the tube a while back you see I was in Leicester square coming down the staires and I saw Jeremy Paxman on the other side of the platform do you know Jeremy Paxman he is a lovely newsreader I think the one with the long face (I do an overly demonstrative head nod to show I know who he is and don't want to dwell on his looks)and I saw him on the other platform when I came down the stares and I was so gobsmacked I forgot to look where I was going and I fell down the stairs quite silly really had to have an MRI scan and everything (laughs an endearing laughter. I tug at my jacket as if to say ' yupp, quite silly but I am ready to do something now' cos my foot is fine'….ahhh)So what is that then is it a special Parkour jacket that you have to use when you monkey about maybe?"
Me: "No, this is just a Nike windproof thing as the weather is quite horrible today" (deliver short smile. I want to get back to Coldplay's Paradise and forget this grey so I make an other ' I am ready to move on' gesture and fiddle with my ipod)
CLL; "Oooh and what is that then is it a special Parkour device that makes you move faster maybe?"
Me: (laughing a little. Not at her, but the sheer thought this device would make me move faster. Well when it plays good music it actually does make me move a little faster, and indeed there are certain songs that can make me feel really strong and…aargh!! See, the CLL way of an endless stream of words is quite contagious)"No this is just an ipod"
CLL: "Oh…a pod whose pod did you say it was what does it do?
Me: "It's an ipod. It plays music, anyone can have one" (being an Apple marketing consultant is not my favourite role at the best of times, let alone when mine is running out and I am realising I am not going to be able to complete today's training by any stretch of the imagination)
CLL: "Oh that's great so you have it right there in your ear oh music is great I used to love it when I danced but I can't do so much of that anymore but I try to keep fit anyway I just walked all the way down from Willesden as there is a fire on Scrubs lane do you know where that is it is up that way did you see it loads of traffic anyway I walked all the way and it does feel quite good to be active I think it is really important but now my back is a little sore I have to admit so what other things than Parkour do you do then or do you only do Parkour perhaps?"
Me: (DON'T SAY IT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER AVOID IT SOMEHOW JUST THIS ONCE…I can't lie)"No I teach Pilates as well"
CLL: "Oh Pilates I love Pilates I used to do it a lot when I was dancing and I would love to get back into it as it is so good for you and I with my back should do it much more often after this foot that silly Paxman so where do you do that then?"
I explain in brief where and who, what and some more but am stuck between a rock and a hard place, have been here for most of my playlist now, and I really REALLY want what is left of my 25 minutes of training. But who is she to know that things are so busy at the moment that I can't have a normal chat with a sweet passer by who is just genuinely curious and enthusiastic about seeing someone walking up and down on all fours, and that if I don't get to do at least Shirley's WOD I am going to break something when I get home. Or not as it were. I am just going to suck it up and feel shit inside and outside and maybe eat a chocolate instead. *!!*ing Paxman. It's his fault if my Parkour never improves and I am found chained to my sofa underneath a heap of empty Galaxy, Lindor and Cadbury wrapping paper…On my last sentence I am actually slowly bending my legs and trying to come down to the ground in way I am hoping shows a pleading "please don't take offence I just have to do this for my sanity and if life was calmer I would chat much more and I feel bad that I can't- or won't as it were-it's not you it's me as you are just sweet but I am on a mission running out of time, a little bit like Tom Cruise" (come on, you must know this move…ok then, maybe there is no way of expressing all of that in just a knee bend)
CLL: "Well I will let you get back to your monkey business as I can see you are quite eager to get on thank you for showing me how to do it I will try that when I get home do you live far from here well wherever you live just don't take the way up to Willesden Junction as there is lots of traffic up there Parkour I will look out for that buy now, bye and I am sorry I took up so much of your time"
Me: "No worries at all and thank you for the information about Scrubs Lane" (what else is there to say?)
Work hard and be kind.
Sometimes it is hard to be kind when you want to work hard.
Sometimes it is difficult to work hard when you are kind.
But I think you should be kind first. And second. Then there is no saying what you can be.
Ps. There is a pause in my stretch blog; this post was going to be on the calf muscle. But I have run into a shin thing that I am investigating and I thought that what I found could perhaps be useful for the calf blog, hence this blog about the Cute Little Lady while I investigate.

I saw this memorial set up on the corner of 25th and Columbia as I drove to pick up my own children today. I don't know who set it up. My daughter and I brought a candle to add and while we were there two more women came with another candle and a couple of stuffed animals to add.

|Return to Past Concerts main page
Saturday 5th June and Thursday 10th June: A Summer Serenade
Steventon Village Hall
Conductor: Terry Pearce
Pianist: Michael Evans
|In complete contrast the choir then sang an arrangement of the old Irish air, Danny Boy, to complete our trip round the British Isles. This was followed by an arrangement by William Stickles of Old Devil Moon from the 1947 musical Finian's Rainbow and a rousing selection of songs from Lionel Bart's ever popular musical Oliver (50 years' old this year). The concert ended with audience participation in a London sing-a-long led by various members of the choir and starting with various members of the choir Doing the Lambeth Walk!.
Sunday 28th March: Spring Concert
St Michael and All Angels Parish Church, Steventon
Conductor: Terry Pearce
Organist: Michael Evans
Guest soloist: John Buckley (tenor)
The first half of the concert featured Vivaldi's Gloria (RV589 – written between 1713 and 1716) with soloists Helen Pearce (soprano), Diana Bowder (soprano) and Rebecca Joisce (alto).
More late baroque music formed the second half of the concert. Handel's four Coronation Anthems were first sung at the coronation of George II on 11 October 1727 and were Handel's first commission at a naturalised British subject.
Parts of the first three anthems were sung by various quartets and quintets made up of Helen Pearce (soprano), Diana Bowder (soprano), Rebecca Joisce (alto), Abby Evans (alto), John Buckley (tenor) and Terry Pearce (bass).
A total of £211 was donated to the Church Organ Fund.
Thursday 4th February: Fundraising concert for the Haiti disaster
Steventon Village Hall
Conductor: Terry Pearce
Pianist: Michael Evans
Special guests: Steventon Church Choir and the Steventon Singers
This 'scratch' concert of light music raised over £1,800 for the UNICEF Haiti Earthquake Children's Appeal and featured a selection of favourites from the choir's repertoire:
The programme was interspersed with contributions from individual choir members and guests:
The Reverend Colin Patching spoke at the end of the concert about the plight of the people of Haiti and the problems the country faced.
Thursday 17th December and Saturday 19th December: Christmas Concerts
Steventon Village Hall
Conductor: Terry Pearce
Pianist: Michael Evans
All profits from the Saturday Concert are being donated to PACE – a charity inspired by the principles of conductive education that seeks to help children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy. The PACE Centre is in Aylesbury but is attended by some children from Oxfordshire including the granddaughter of one of the choral society's supporters from Drayton who, before the concert, spoke movingly about the Centre's work and its need for funds.
The second half began with John Hunt entertaining the audience with several humorous stories. The choir then sang three quite different pieces – a musical setting of the old rhyme, Christmas Is Coming the Geese are Getting Fat, the Cliff Richard hit, Mistletoe and Wine, and an arrangement of the traditional carol, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, by Richard Storrs Willis. Helen Pearce (soprano) followed to sing A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square – the well-known song first performed in 1940 – before the audience joined the choir to sing the traditional carols, O Come All Ye Faithful and Once In Royal David's City. The choir sang another John Rutter favourite, Angels Carol, and an arrangement of one of the most popular Christmas songs, Jingle Bells. The 'fun' theme continued with the audience joining in to sing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney and The Twelve Days of Christmas (the last one with actions by the choir). After a short speech by the chairman, Caroline Miller, the concert ended with an arrangement by Sir Malcolm Sargent of the Negro spiritual, Mary Had A Baby, and the heartfelt song, Let There Be Peace On Earth.
Sunday 20th December: St Michael & All Angels, Steventon
Members of the choral society joined the church choir for the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
|Sunday 17th October: Celebration
Service at St Michael & All Angels, Steventon
Choir members joined the Church choir at a special service to dedicate the new carpeted nave platform designed to allow more varied use of the church. The choir sang three pieces – two anthems by John Rutter (Look at the World and God be in my Head) and the Negro spiritual Michael Row the Boat – as well as leading the congregation in the four hymns and the psalm.
Saturday 10th October: A sing-in of Handel's Messiah as part of Voices for Hospices 2009
Parish Church of St Michael & All Angels, Steventon
A total of £675.50 was raised for Sir Michael Sobell House, Oxford, including £190 via Just Giving.

Each time I start-up my laptop a message appears saying Adobe Acrobat could not locate profiles please reinstall Acrobat.This program was already pre-installed on the laptop when it was originally purchased so I don't have a disc. When I logged onto the Adobe site to reinstall its saying there is a charge for this particular download. Do I actually need this program in which case can I remove the existing one. Many thanks Tony.

You probably will need it at some time if you want to view any PDF files - you could try installing the latest version for your O.S. - it should download and install over any existing version but if not you will have to remove older version first - I have never had a problem installing "over the top" of older version.

I think that you may be confusing Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader (the message is likely to be misleading). It is unusual to find Adobe Acrobat on new Pc's. Adobe Reader is free (no charge for download) and allows you to read pdf files. There are other alternatives like Foxit Reader.

The LINK I have given you is a FREE download so no cost involved to you. If you have a problem with the older version post again on here.
The error message you had would probably be down to the fact that it was pre-installed and has now expired - hence the asking for payment.

|Activating Flux, Aluminum Alloy, GTA Welding, Taguchi Method, Weld Penetration
The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of activating fluxes and welding parameter to the penetration and depth-to-width ratio (DWR) of 6061 aluminum alloy welds. Bead-on-plate argon gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding process was made on 6061 aluminum alloy of plate without filling metals. The activating fluxes used in the experiment were CaO, ZnO, SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Cr2O3, CaF2 and Na2CO3. Based on the higher penetration of weld bead and welding arc voltage, four fluxes were selected to create three new mixtures using 50% of each original fluxes. The mixed fluxes were used to investigate the effect to the welding penetration. Finally, The Taguchi method was employed to achieve optimal DWR of weld bead and investigate the welding parameters that significantly affect welding quality. The experimental procedure of GTA welding with activating flux via the Taguchi method produced full penetration of weld bead on a 6.35 mm thickness of 6061 aluminum alloy plate with single pass weld.

Helping Japan: Patience and Peace Winds
Categories: Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
Is there really a "one size fits all" garment that looks good on everyone? I know that I certainly haven't found one. Similarly, there's no "one size fits all" response to natural disasters. There's not even a "one size fits most" response.
Each disaster is unique and requires careful assessment of the situation to determine what's really needed. Acting too quickly and sending relief items that aren't really needed can compound disasters by clogging critical supply routes into an impacted country.
All this is to say that figuring out the best way to respond to the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on 3/11 has been challenging to say the least. Unlike impoverished Haiti, Japan has a sound infrastructure that is well prepared to respond to natural disasters. While I sit here following the graphic news updates on the situation unfolding on the ground, feeling desperate to help in some way, I'm learning that the best thing to do for now may well be to practice patience.
Beyond reaching out to other governments for some search and rescue assistance, the Japanese government has not yet made any international appeals for help. And if you contact most of the international NGO relief agencies, they are raising funds to support their response … although the direct course of action remains unclear.
So what can a mid-sized outdoor footwear and apparel brand in New Hampshire do to ease the suffering on the other side of the world? We can be thoughtful, strategic, and patient as we determine our response. The recovery efforts in Japan will go on for a long time. While we're all eager to help now, in the immediate aftermath, we're closely monitoring the situation so that when the dust settles, we're ready to help meet the defined needs that emerge.
For now, we're providing assistance to our Japan employees who were directly impacted by the disaster. We're directing those who want to help to a Japanese-based NGO called Peace Winds which is currently actively engaged in the on-the-ground relief effort and is not subject to the same restrictions that may apply to the international NGOs. We're letting our employees know that we're committed to the long term recovery effort in Japan and, when we have more clarity on the greatest needs and how we can best participate, we will activate our community programs and Global Stewards to help with the rebuilding process — focusing particularly on community and environment revitalization such as replanting, rebuilding or clean-up work. In the meantime, we're staying in contact with the international relief organizations and letting them know what we can provide so that they know to reach out to us if we can help.
And we're waiting, like the rest of the world, to see what unfolds for our friends and colleagues in Japan who have endured this disaster with unmatched dignity and grace.

WASHINGTON -- Multiple rounds of snow, ice and freezing rain have taken a toll on the roads -- and, by extension, pocketbooks.
The relentless barrage of winter weather has left behind a maze of potholes. Drivers navigate an obstacle course of hazards, but one clunk is enough to do hundreds of dollars of damage.
"It's been horrific," says a driver named Tyrone, who says he needs to repair a leak in his tire after hitting a pothole.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says drivers in the Washington region shell out an average of nearly $600 per year to repair pothole-related damage to their cars.
"They are nerve-rattling, mind-blowing, mind-boggling, butt-shaking potholes," says AAA spokesman John Townsend.
By his estimation, the pothole problem is the most severe since the so-called Snowmageddon of 2010 -- if not worse.
A Largo resident named Ericka says she's leaving the car at home until the roads get patched up.
"I found myself feeling like I could injure someone by dodging the pothole, going into their lane," she says. "Now I take a bus and the Metro because I don't want to mess up my tires."
Wondering how you can report potholes to the region? Find the numbers on WTOP.com.

1. MEASURE YOUR HEAD. Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using a flexible tape measure.
Generally, the widest part of a person's head is the area 2.5 cm (1") above the eyes and ears.
However, we suggest measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables.
We also suggest testing the fit of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger then what the chart recommends.
No helmet can provide protection if it's too uncomfortable to wear.
If you would like further detailed instructions on how to determine your correct size please look at our AFX Helmet Fitting Guide.
Comment: I bought a brown Harley Ultra Classic and looked everywhere for matching helmets. I could not find any brown helmets.Then i found the camo helmet.I loved it so i bought two of them.And they are perfect.Could not be better.

Spike TELEVISION (so named simply because Howard Stern owns the actual copyright to the brands "Gonad TV", "Schlong-O-Vision", "The Muddlemuff, oversight, screw-up, slipup, snafu, whoops Channel", as well as "Boob Tube") apparently strike the television jackpot whenever they somehow cornered the actual rights to create a tv program based upon the Marvel comic book personality. (It is really a patent untruth which Howard won those brands from Bob Guccione within a poker complement. ) On the top that seems like advisable and I will wager that some sales major from a truly expensive school spent a few weeks creating out with his loan calculator to determine that was a good chance that a revenue could be produced in such an effort. I'm sure invert Polish notation was never ever hotter.
Before all of us start out with this voyage from the imagination In my opinion that everyone must stop and think about the previous tries by the television sector to realize the imagine a weekly super-hero show. Anyone keep in mind just how hideous the actual 1977 Spiderman has been? They tied basics to his hands having a bungee cord as well as pretended it turned out webbing simply by shaking the digital camera. All they been successful in doing was developing a generation associated with quasi-epileptics.
Remember the actual Amazing Hulk? Lou Energico permitted the staff associated with Earl Scheib's $99 vehicle painting emporium to hose pipe him down with remaining green paint on the weekly basis because the result of several bad investments plus a sickening penchant regarding three-card Monte. Whilst Lou did an admirable job of resembling a hemorrhoid patient being attacked by monster bees that alone barely created the requisite suspension system of belief needed to watch a super-hero show when everything he or she touched had green color flakes left onto it.
On another hand I avoid remember the plot of the single episode associated with Wonder Woman and i also distinctly recall viewing every single one of these at least two times. But , which is the essential part, I truly don't care since it involved the half-dressed chick playing around in cowboy shoes or boots with a infelice. Based on which, I could utilize deductive logic to find out that Wonder Girl was a western legendary without the hat and i also wouldn't have recognized the.
The personnel at Spike TV appears to understand this market and possibly applied their particular superior educations and banking institutions of supercomputers to make use of this collective aussehen of testosterone to create us a tv program par superiority. Perhaps they really understand the minds of these that think Ing Bundy is the customer saint of Middle The united states. Perhaps, I actually dare to wish, nay yet in order to dream of a positive return to a less complicated time.
While I actually sit down to see this program having a grand sense associated with hope, those older friends doubt and fearfulness begin to creep within.
I can simply think about the "creative" meetings in which the walls from the meeting rooms had been crammed with concept artwork featuring "Spiked" versions of the Marvel characters as they made their particular pitch to the Wonder staff. I believe the meeting proceeded to go this type of thing:
Attempt #1: "Spiked" Spiderman would certainly still be such as the traditional Spiderman however he would need to stuff their crotch with 3 calf-length 100% nylon team socks and his natural web shooters will make a slightly a lot more "splort" noise. Because of some revenue producing product placements, he'd also be observed slurping Mountain Dew even if costumed. Their girlfriend, Mary Anne, would be changed by actresses that are basically replicas from the cast through "Sex in the Town. " Philip Parker, also known as: Spiderman, could be dating every one of them simultaneously with all the obvious hilarious outcomes that can only originate from watching a baffled adolescent with the skills of a mass comparable spider try to maintain four women happy simultaneously he is fighting for his lifestyle against the likes associated with Doctor Octopus, Electronica, and the Eco-friendly Goblin.
The Wonder people probably found this particular pitch interesting, however wanted to hear a few of the other high quality ideas. What many of you don't understand would be that the Spike innovative staff has just essentially described the plot in order to Spiderman 3. Wonder didn't really have the choice to ok this task.
Slightly unnerved with their best concept passed over, the actual Spike staff continues using their next presentation. Consider the chance of a "Spiked" edition of another favorite focus on of the really low superhero rubbish bin: The particular Punisher. Rather than being your typical common homicidal sociopath antihero, the actual "Spiked" Frank Castle would certainly spend an inordinate period of time polishing their enormous pistol while at the least three vistors in every episode will make the very same comment regarding his possible overcompensation. Pertaining to chuckles he'd recite old Filthy Harry ranges.
His costume would certainly consist of the grubby t-shirt with head shaped donut stains through his day job in a neighborhood bakery plus a tube sock packed pair of leotards which he finds on the corpse within a dumpster in show 2 . He can awake early every morning heartily slapping their headless Mickey Mouse noisy alarms that performs "It's a little World" horribly away key. Sitting upward and adjusting his Para-aramid synthetic fiber hair net, he or she slides his pistol in to his pants and states "time to make one more batch of proper rights. "
Somehow, most crime would occur simply blocks from the food handling business and more lead could be spilled in every episode than the whole run from the A-Team mixed. But , within a nod to tv censors and the potential audience of 13 year-old boys, Honest and the criminals never get really wounded. He also offers to deal with getting returning to the shop just before he burns the doughnuts and outrages the store owner, which is played because comedy relief by Mary Bosley along with Bea Arthur as their perpetually cranky however loveably wisecracking spouse.
Quiet and humble, his neighbor Clyde would certainly occasionally chat with Honest over the patio fencing. Never having the ability to see every others faces completely view neither would certainly discover that these were really each other people arch nemesis. Whilst a deep and relocating exploration of the gray nuances of recent philosophical theory as well as spirituality, the actual "Spiked" Punisher just does not capture the zeitgeist associated with what the Marvel executives were wishing for.
Intrigued through the Spike staff imagination, but not however sold, the Wonder execs would then pay attention to the third on bat, that is the "Spiked" edition of the Marvel traditional character Doctor Unusual. Initially the Surge TV staff became incredibly excited at the thought that all this character was obviously a clairvoyant proctologist. Normally pictured as some variation of the egocentric surgeon currently in touch with the actual unseen forces of miracle and sorcery, the actual "Spiked" version will rather be an egocentric dental professional forced into sorcery because of an accident with all the dental x-ray device causing him to get strange and moon like powers far beyond the ones from mortal guys. Throw in the cleaning compulsion and a great unexplained fear of goodies in addition to your serious personality. The good Physician would divide his time passed between coping with the actual realization that his throw basin is haunted through the collective spirits from the Russian Tsars as well as fighting crime. Would you have thought that all the ghost associated with Ivan the Terrible has been an expert at teeth fillings? The Physician's rough and in-your-face way will alienate the majority of those around your pet except the few along with sufficient insight to find the sweet indoor surrounded by the actual crusty and often filthy exterior.
While small is known about their methods, the amount of criminals as well as evildoers found associated with lampposts by countless yards associated with "magical" dental floss is actuallyincreasing exponentially. Making use of his dental picks plus a little miracle, Doctor Strange generally manages to get their criminal and still get time for your new chance not to be alone. Only when they had coming back him. Ok last one, his marvelous motorcycle or carpet or even whatever he rides about on can talk as well. It will audio a lot like Mister. Ed but they have snappier one-liners as well as talk about chicks along with other Maxim-like topical topics such as testicular personal examinations. The starting credits will uses an exploding toilet regarding no apparent cause. Doctor Strange will not stuff his jeans with clothes.
Grabbing their containers of Tic-Tac's and deceiving they are pagers, the majority of the Marvel executives excuse themselves. The particular few Marvel execs which are still within the room will hear the Surge crew digging to their emergency materials. The Spike TELEVISION creative staff finds you a chance to do a couple of emergency r andd on the character they recalled seeing somewhere that told of them of the guy for the reason that war film. Asking throughout the office administrative helper about "That spot dude", they understand that Nick Fury is the character. One particular Spike staff writer stop the network in demonstration before learning it turned out "Fury" instead of "Furry" but which is another story another time.
Not pleased with the butchering which David Hasselhoff gave the actual role, the actual "Spiked" version of extremely spy Nick Fury showcased bionic replacements regarding Fury's war torn parts of the body, lasers both in eyeballs, the shoe that doubled being a telephone plus a talking vehicle. Hasselhoff actually auditioned for joey for this part as well as performed at least three display screen tests. Nike experienced signed on to provide you with the shoe phones however the entire deal has been washed away instantly when professional Anthony Daniels flatly declined to perform thespeaking car role for anything at all just one "billion million dollars" and a life time supply of Turtle Polish. His in long run theatrical agent and buddy, Margot Kidder, displayed Daniels during the discussions. Daniels himself never ever actually spoke or even corresponded with the Surge staff directly. Worried by the strange needs, the Spike personnel was unable to find the required Turtle Polish and the project slipped in to the dustbin.
Last although not least, Surge TV has the personality "Blade. " Beginning with a safe placement of being "about kitchen knives and stuff, inch the Spike Staff determined that the character created almost famous simply by Wesley Snipes is within bad need associated with "fine tuning" to create him more suitable for today's modern target audience and demographics. Right after getting a price estimate for what it might cost to employ Mister. Snipes on the weekly basis these people decide to choose the next smartest thing: Jaleel Whitened. Now we all know what if you're thinking - how on the planet will they afford Urkel when they couldn't pay for Wesley Snipes? Luckily for us as it happens that Mister. White is definitely an unabashed fan associated with Marvel comics and agreed to do the display for the chance to take home the actual leftover catering truck meals. Now that is really a passion for artwork and a love for your Earth when I heard this.
The lone staying Marvel executive, that was actually the janitor who just slipped in for the totally free donuts, signs away on the paperwork plus a television show comes into the world. People from the audience, I actually give you: Surge TV's very own Cutter: The Collection.
Running using this puppy as an eight yr old having a fistful of brand name brand new scissors, the Surge staff scored a tv coup d'etat by rolling out the cast simply by hiring someone claiming to become a relative associated with George Takei, the actual backup drummer regarding Wang Chung, the waiter from an Italian language restaurant and 3 sizzling chicks from Golf club Hubba Hubba. With this particular unlimited imagination as well as an unequalled zest for a lifetime, the Surge writers got set to have an explosive premier.
I as well, otherwise you intrepid reporter, got set to have an explosive premier. Still I'll wager which the Spike preparation to have an explosive premier didn't include looking at to make sure the restroom had adequate lavatory paper. The phase is set. Lighting the lights and cause the display.

What a bad-ass!
When butt enhancement goes horribly wrong: Woman left with hideous bulge after implant 'flips inside out'
A shocking video emerged today showing a grotesque bulge in a woman's buttock apparently caused when her botched silicone implant 'flipped inside out'.
Instead giving her a smooth, plump appearance, the implant has popped out and is left protruding in an ugly disc shape at the back of her cheek.
In the 20-second clip, the unidentified woman slowly manipulates it back into place while explaining: 'This is my implant flipping backwards'.
She adds: 'I don't think an implant's supposed to do that. It shouldn't be able to flip.'
It is difficult to establish whether the video is genuine and no details are known about which clinic the woman went to or exactly what type of procedure she had.
But BAAPS Member Adrian Richards, a consultant plastic surgeon at Aurora Clinics in the UK, believes the clip is authentic.

What dumasses!
I've only lamented the absence of my former butt a few times – once after getting knocked down on my butt, and when dropping down too fast on a hard chair when my knee gives out.
Big butts make zero sense to me. Why???+2
I wonder if I can donate my behind after I die — you know, like a heart or corneas?
These kinds of "cosmetic" surgeries are the result of some serious mental problems. She should have spent her money on a shrink instead of having her behind enlarged. Women dying because of this??
FNC had a story on today (I was only half listening) that a teachers' union won't back down on negotiating away their lavish cosmetic surgery benefits from their medical insurance. The union told the school district they can go ahead and cut back teachers but they won't give up their plastic surgery. There was also some stats on how many teachers take advantage and how much has been claimed on their insurance and it was quite a lot. I wonder how many of them have had buttocks enhancement?+3
If you rotated the photos you would see the head shape Biden has under his plugs.+6

MP's expenses: Denis MacShane resigns over false invoices
Former Labour minister Denis MacShane has quit as an MP after he wrongfully claimed at least £7,500 in expenses.
A Parliamentary committee found he had submitted 19 false invoices which were "plainly intended to deceive" Parliament's expenses authority.
The committee said it was the "gravest case" which has come to them for adjudication.
Mr MacShane, who has has repaid the money, said he wanted to take responsibility for his mistakes.
A by-election is now expected in his Rotherham constituency, where he has been an MP since 1994.
Conservative MP Philip Davies has written to the Metropolitan Police, who closed an inquiry into Mr MacShane's expenses in July, asking them to reopen it in light of the report - which he said contained new evidence.
The Met said it would now consider the contents of the report in due course.
The committee's report described Mr MacShane's false claims as "far from what would be acceptable in any walk of life" and "fell far below the standards of integrity and probity expected of every member of the House".
It suggested of the £12,900 claimed through false invoices, it was likely around £7,500 was "outside the rules", although Mr MacShane has apologised and repaid the entire £12,900.
"Start Quote
End Quote Standards and Priviliges Committee report
In effect, he was sending the invoice to himself and writing his own cheque"
The committee also criticised the MP for failing to co-operate with the inquiry.
The false invoices related to work Mr MacShane carried out in Europe, an area for which he previously had ministerial responsibility.'Real mischief'
Between 2004 and 2008, he submitted 19 invoices totalling £12,900 for "research and translation" work carried out by the European Policy Institute.
But the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards found the claims also covered travel, subsistence, hospitality and the purchase of books and other publications and were broad estimates of what the MP judged he had spent, rather than receipted items.
He also found that the European Policy Institute, in the way it was presented on the invoice - with a general manager and directors - did not exist.
Denis MacShane
- MP for Rotherham since 1994 by-election
- Minister for Europe from 2002 to 2005
- Chaired Commons inquiry into anti-semitism in 2006
- Born in Glasgow as Denis Matyjaszek, to Irish mother and Polish father
- Changed his name when he worked at BBC as reporter and newsreader from 1969 to 1977
- Sacked by BBC for using fake name to call radio phone-in
- Twice married with four children
- Former partner of ITN broadcaster Carol Barnes
- The couple's daughter Clare died in 2004 in a skydiving accident
The organisation was a "loose network", with no office, no salaried staff and with a bank account controlled by Mr MacShane himself.
And the signature on the invoices purporting to be from the institute' s general manager was, in fact, from Mr MacShane.
The commissioner said: "The sum claimed was not a sum determined by the general manager of the EPI... it was the sum of money entered on his computer by Mr MacShane himself.
"In effect, he was sending the invoice to himself and writing his own cheque."
The "real mischief" of Mr MacShane's actions, the commissioner added, was submitting invoices that bypassed the "checks and controls" of the House and "enabled Mr MacShane to spend public money as he thought fit".'No personal gain'
Mr MacShane was also criticised for "excessive" claims for computer equipment, which MPs are allowed to claim for to support their parliamentary work.
In one instance the commissioner found he had allowed an intern to take a publicly-funded laptop away at the end of their internship, and bought a new one for his next intern. He also claimed for the same computer twice.
In a statement, Mr MacShane said: "I have been overwhelmed by messages of support for my work as an MP on a range of issues but I accept that my parliamentary career is over.
"I appreciate the committee's ruling that I made no personal gain and I regret my foolishness in the manner I chose to be reimbursed for work including working as the prime minister's personal envoy in Europe.
"I want to thank the people of Rotherham for allowing me to serve as their MP and the Labour Party for allowing me over the years to fight for the causes I believe in.
"I love the House of Commons and I hope by resigning I can serve by showing that MPs must take responsibility for their mistakes and accept the consequences of being in breach of the House rules."

The Women's Perf Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt from Neff is more than just a hoody. It's a trap. The diagonal cut of the waistline carries the eye of onlookers from your thigh to your hip and then back again for more. It's a cycle they won't be able to escape unless their attention happens to be pulled momentarily away by the way the button-up collar that hugs your neckline. And then it's right back to the thigh again. You want a little attention? You're probably gonna get it.

Monthly Archives: September 2010
Directed by William Gluck

Easy A (2010)
What's It About?
Easy A is somewhat of a modern retelling of the Scarlett Letter. Emma Stone plays Olive, a smart and compassionate high school-er, with average popularity. But things get scandalous when Olive starts helping other students by pretending to "get it on" with them.
FTS Podcast (9-23-10) episode 24: Well hello again. This week FTS tackles their Top 3 Favorite High School Movies. So bust out your high school yearbook and get ready to reminisce.

Genre: short stories
This is just a round-up post of my thoughts after week three of the Fragile things read. As with any short story collection some of the stories worked for me, and other didn't. I tend to like the more traditional stories, where we have somewhat of a resolution or development. The more open-ended and experimental, or just atmospheric I don't enjoy so much.
This week's stories were
- Going Wodwo – a poem I didn't particularly get. my review
- Bitter grounds – zombies and atmosphere I enjoyed, but I needed a bit more resolution or explanation at various points. my review
- Other people – A horrible description of hell. I liked this one, but it isn't one I would feel the need to reread. my review
- Keepsakes and treasures – this seemed to me to be "dark" and violent purely to be those things. I didn't enjoy it. my review
The other blogs that are in the group read are:
- Stainless Steel Droppings
- We Be Reading
- Piling on the Books
- Geranium Cat
- Adventures of an Intrepid Reader
- Dooliterature< /li>

It's never too early to teach your kids to be more selfless -- and we've got the tips to help you do it!

It's not just you. We all want our kids to be more grateful. But this material world is all about living large. Kids get the message from TV, pop music, even in the toy aisle. Here's the good news: Taming their "gimmies" -- and turning them into givers -- is easier than you think. Here's how.
Take Baby Steps You've heard that old saw, "charity begins at home," right? What that really means is that kids learn how to be charitable when the adults in their lives are charitable toward them. "Children learn to be caring and concerned about others when they experience these things for themselves -- everyday," says Elizabeth Berger, MD, child psychiatrist and author of Raising Kids With Character. Instead of encouraging them to commit to time-consuming volunteer projects (or boring them with soapbox speeches), just focus on the regular -- but super-important -- stuff like validating your kids' feelings, spending quality time together and being an engaged listener.

'Gay Women Will Marry Your Boyfriends'
By Andrew Villagomez
The original CollegeHumor video, "Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends," has set off a meme that reminds us of the "Shit That Girls Say" videos of yore. Last week straight men gave their response to the threat to marry the girlfriends if they did not support same-sex marriage. Now gay women take their play and tell straight women who oppose same-sex marriage to watch out as they would be - "the best wives EVER!"
I wonder what video will be next - a reply to these lesbians, or will the CollegeHumor gays return for a second video? I'm hoping for the latter.

Looking for Tour Hosts: Portrait of a Dead Guy Book Tour with Larissa Reinhart
We are thrilled to announce that we are organizing a book tour with Larissa Reinhart, author of Portrait of a Dead Guy. This tour will run in April (exact dates to be confirmed) and will promote the first book in this series.
In Halo, Georgia, folks know Cherry Tucker as big in mouth, small in stature, and able to sketch a portrait faster than buckshot rips from a ten gauge — but commissions are scarce. So when the well-heeled Branson family wants to memorialize their murdered son in a coffin portrait, Cherry scrambles to win their patronage from her small town rival.
As the clock ticks toward the deadline, Cherry faces more trouble than just a controversial subject. Between ex-boyfriends, her flaky family, an illegal gambling ring, and outwitting a killer on a spree, Cherry finds herself painted into a corner she'll be lucky to survive.
Please remember:
1. Review copies are available as ebook copies only. Naturally ebook review copies are available US/Canada and internationally.
2. Due to Larissa's writing commitments the only two options will be review and/or interview. There will be no guest blogs. If you choose "interview" you will be responsible for providing interview questions.
3. Please indicate your preferred day. However please be aware that we may not be able to accommodate your selected day. However, we will try our best.
Please fill in this form to register your interest for this tour. If you have any questions please leave a comment or email us.

"Yes, another marriage topic!" says our own iMuslim. She's sharing an interesting idea from a friend, to help ease the "Is it a yes? Is it a no?" confusion in the marriage proposal hunt!
Now, how we do it in my community, is that after some initial discussion between parents and go-betweens over the phone, the guy and his family comes round to visit the girl and her family. After munching on samosas and tea for anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour, the girl and the guy usually get to spend some time with one another to ask questions. Depending on the family and their customs, they may sit alone in an open part of the house, or sit in the corner while their family pretends not to listen in.
After this 'interview' period, the guy goes back to his family, there may be some more samosa munching, but usually the boy's family goes home soon after.
What follows is usually an agonising wait while the guy's family makes their decision. It might be a day. It might be a week. They may never respond (yes, it happens! How rude?). True, it is only agonising if the girl is actually interested… else, who cares, right? Anyway, this whole waiting period usually results in unnecessary stress for the girl's family, which may lead to squabbling and other unpleasantness.
But, there is another way, my friends.
