Intuit Partner Platform Opens to Developers
All Developers Welcome to Build Applications and Create Successful SaaS Businesses
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Sept. 15, 2008 - Today, Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) opened the doors to all developers and independent software vendors interested in building online applications on the Intuit® Partner Platform, formerly the QuickBase Development Environment. In addition, Intuit announced it has selected Boomi and Vindicia to facilitate data synchronization and billing management for the development platform respectively, ensuring developers and end users have the highest levels of service possible.
The Intuit Partner Platform not only gives developers the opportunity to build Web-based applications, but successful SaaS businesses by taking the complexity out of managing infrastructure, hosting, user management, integration and billing. Now developers can focus on developing innovative on-demand software solutions that solve unique and important problems for the four million small and mid-market businesses across the U.S. that use QuickBooks and the 25 million employees that work in those companies.
The platform-as-a-service offering allows developers to combine the powerful open source Flex framework and Adobe® Flex Builder and the proven database of Intuit QuickBase to build rich Internet applications that work with QuickBooks® data. They can also leverage Adobe AIR to provide additional desktop-like functionality in their applications, such as pop-up notifications, local file system access, local data storage, and the ability to create a fully branded user experience.
"We have now accepted more than 1,000 developers into the program and it is exciting to hear their ideas and energy about what they want to build," said Alex Chriss, business leader for the Intuit Partner Platform. "Customers will benefit greatly from the imagination and expertise that developers use to solve problems facing their specific industries."
Working With Software as a Service Leaders
The Boomi On Demand® service will allow applications built on the platform to seamlessly connect and synchronize with data on QuickBooks desktop installations with no development or system configuration required by end users.
Vindicia's CashBox will provide the online billing infrastructure that enables Intuit to engage the wide range of developers expected to build on the platform. CashBox gives Intuit the ability to implement multiple subscription pricing models for developer applications, provides various communication templates to drive end-user renewals and retention, and offers reporting functionality across a wide variety of business metrics - a critical function in executing a successful developer program.
"Intuit's innovative Connected Services strategy underscores its leadership," said Gene Hoffman, chairman and CEO of Vindicia. "Intuit is fully leveraging platform-as-a-service capabilities to put demonstrable, impactful business tools into the hands of its developer community and end customers alike. We look forward to working together on this initiative."
Demos at Web 2.0 Expo NY
Intuit will be showcasing the Intuit Partner Platform and other connected services at Web 2.0 Expo NY in booth #1411. In addition, several developers involved in the beta of the platform will be providing demonstrations in the Longtail Pavilion on the exhibit hall floor.
The Intuit Partner Platform is an integral component of the company's "Connected Services" strategy. The three-pronged strategy includes offering online versions of Intuit products, such as the market-leading QuickBooks Online, new services that connect to Intuit desktop products, and tools that connect users to each other.

Conquer the City in the 2013 Chevy Spark
Who knew you could maneuver around the city in such a small, personality-rich subcompact hatchback for such a low price? The brand-new 2013 Chevrolet Spark is attracting quite a lot of attention all over the country. To find out if the 2013 Chevy Spark is right for your needs, read this article.
Compact, Lively Engine
When designing the engine for the 2013 Chevrolet Spark, Chevy engineers wanted to pack as much power as possible into a small design to produce an engine that's both powerful and efficient. The result: a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine that is able to keep pace on the highway while still earning 32 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway.
Maneuverable Design
The Chevrolet Spark is not only small enough to slide into just about any parking space, but it is also incredibly agile and easy to guide through sharp turns and tight corners. Thanks to large wheels, electric power steering, and stiff front dampers, the newest Chevy Spark both easy and fun to drive in the city.
Premium Interior
Although the Chevrolet Spark is technically an economy car, there's nothing about the Spark that feels cheap. Step into the interior of the Chevy Spark and you won't believe how little it costs. Body-color trim, a digital tachometer, and a whopping 31.2 cubic feet of total cargo space with the rear seats folded are just a few of the touches that set the Chevy Spark apart from the competition.
High-Tech Options
If you want to feel like you're in a car of the future without spending more money than necessary, the Chevrolet Spark can be equipped with cutting-edge features like a seven-inch touchscreen with Chevy MyLink, and Bluetooth.
Are you thinking about choosing the Chevy Spark for your Atlanta commute? See what makes the 2013 Chevrolet Spark a subcompact hatchback with the most vibrant personality in America by taking it for a test drive at Nash Chevrolet.

12.17.2012 - 20:50 | fangirl21 - Very PromisingWhile I'll miss Classic Who, I'm enjoying Here there Be Dragons. This is a promising new series, Nash! I wonder if you'll show some more films, like Willow, or if you'll just focus on dragon films. Guess I'll have to wait and watch!
12.17.2012 - 21:13 | MoonSagi - !
12.17.2012 - 21:18 | LuHijodeSuIt's been ages seen I've seen this movie, mainly because I'd forgotten the name. Gonna have to check it out again despite its flaws.
12.17.2012 - 21:35 | ninjadnice - Great review
12.17.2012 - 21:37 | SalfordioI think a certain Austrian warmonger made off with the middle part of you moustache. I'd report him if I were you. It's perfectly within your reich to do so.
... comedic musings on the reviewers facial hair aside, I must say that I rather ejoyed this video. I shall look forward to watching more in the series as and when they become available. All the best with the project.
12.17.2012 - 21:43 | TrencherGreat review and a very good new series. It was worth the wait! Great work! Five of five stars!
12.17.2012 - 21:59 | inspectornills
12.17.2012 - 22:06 | voxa.m.Love both the concept and the content. Nash, your stuff is always some of my favorite on the site. Intellictual without being dry, funny without being dumb. Keep up the good work!
12.17.2012 - 22:08 | Dalek_Explain!I remember seeing this on TV once when I was younger. I loved the practical effects and I was curious why we didn't see the main actor in more films like this.
Then I saw Dragonslayer when I was older, still enjoyed the practical effects but agree that the characters were just boring and really in the right hands and with the right actors it would make for an interesting remake.
However, I don't think it would get approval and if it did they'd try to replace all the practical stuff with CGI.
Not a good movie but as far as "dragon movies" go I'd take it over Dungeons and Dragons the movie any day.

12.17.2012 - 22:54 | Sockpuppet - Recommended-- kind of
12.17.2012 - 23:33 | CursedbythedicegodsGreat new series Nash! I re-visited this one a couple of years ago, and I must say you absolutely nailed it on the head. I was actually MAD at the ending of this film, thinking to myself, "That king is SUCH a douchebag!" Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us.
12.17.2012 - 23:44 | plaidmanWell now that you're doing this show i have some requests.
1. Deathstalker 1-4 and the straight to video remake from 2003, which is called The Barbarian
2. Ator 1-4
3. The Barbarian Queen movies
4. The Warrior and the Sorceress
5. The Gor movies
6. Krull
7. Merlin and the Sword
8. The animated Hobbit movies
9. Wizards 1977
10. The Beast Master 1-3
11. Highlander 1-3, End Game, The Source, and the Anime movie Search for Vengeance
12. Flash Gordan
and finally... for now, 13. Hawk the slayer!
I hope you will at least think about some of these movies and I look foreward to future episodes of this show.
12.18.2012 - 18:34 | plaidman
12.18.2012 - 00:25 | ladydisketteI saw it on Tv on some forgotten limbo called Saturday post-cartoon noon. I liked the story concept even though it was executed pretty "meh" you did have a point about where their thought process was coming from so in a way it seems justifiable.
Also, the original legend which the movie is based off of reminds me of the story of St. George and the dragon. A dragon threatening a kingdom and the young virgin maidens were sacrificed to the dragon to keep it from full outright attacking the kingdom until the king's daughter is one of the sacrifices does he send a knight to slay it and rescue her.
Just like the movie was a allegory for our country's leaders at that time, they used the story as a allegory for St. George slaying the dragon as a symbolic way medivel christianity tried to smite the old paganistic ways. Not to mention, it was a bit more upbeat than what they protrayed in the movie.
Still makes me want to check it out again, its been so long since I have watched it.
12.18.2012 - 00:11 | Madmatt2185 - OH!
12.18.2012 - 00:57 | plaidman
12.18.2012 - 00:28 | Moon Spirit
12.18.2012 - 00:32 | FishEyenoMikoI totally agree with you about "Star Wars" basically being a fantasy series... IN SPACE!
I'd like to second the requests of the animated "The Hobbit" (at least the first one--it even has a dragon!), and "Willow", if you're doing general fantasy and not just dragon movies.
Will you be tackling TV series, as well, or just movies? There was a short-lived (6 episodes, I think?) fantasy series called "Wizards and Warriors" I'd love to see you review.
Oh and: I loved the stick-puppets! "I'm Batman! [WHAM!] I'm Batman! [WHAM!] I'm Batman! [WHAM!]".
12.18.2012 - 00:51 | plaidman
12.18.2012 - 12:51 | FishEyenoMiko
12.18.2012 - 18:30 | plaidman
12.18.2012 - 00:39 | joe englandI knew I recognized that guy!
12.18.2012 - 00:39 | mlfNash... no. Just, no. Go back and read Nietzsche again. You obviously missed the point.
12.18.2012 - 01:03 | BlackdrazonI'd argue the Harryhausen films were Sword and Sorcery, since that's the name used for the book genre the stories are based on (the ones the preceded the LotR-esque revival started by Terry Brooks et al).
Used to own a tile-based board game based on this movie. Interesting thing, certainly never seen anything else like it. You had to go around amassing a small army's worth of henchmen and equipment while avoiding the King's Men, hoping to not just kill the dragon but kill it first, and certainly not wound it and be forced off, leaving things easier on everyone else. Probably too random for its own good, favours Galen too much where everyone else is equal, but if anyone ever sees it in a garage sale for a quarter, I say give it a shot (and don't play Galen). I always enjoyed it when we brought it out.
EDIT: Finished now. Loved the use of context to discuss the film's strength and failures. I'd like to see more of that, but since you're dealing with such a small era of films, I'm not sure how long you can go before the context is all just explained in previous episodes. Still, good luck! Looking forward to more.

12.18.2012 - 02:00 | Norman Rafferty
12.18.2012 - 02:00 | yourworstnightmareI hope he does Sword and the Sorcerer at some point (but don't bother with Tales of an Ancient Empire). Of course he might fall into the trap of Thor the Conqueror, but that turkey isn't his style. It should be reviewed by someone more specialized in reviewing turkeys.
12.18.2012 - 02:36 | Goatboy
12.18.2012 - 03:33 | DGNeedham - SPIKE!YAY SPIKE!
Also gj Nash. I like this new show.
Move forward, as you have to but not blindly. Who you are is remembered long after you are and we remember the stuff that is already RDA/Nash!
12.18.2012 - 03:53 | leviadragon99Yeah, if all the dragon is doing is flying overhead and periodically making annoying cries then setting out to slay it might be more trouble than it's worth...
Nice paper figure section towards the beginning, though personally I preffer Dragons as more nuanced intelligent creatures, mysterious, wise, not always friendly but not just giant fire-breathing lizards to be slain.
While this movie does seem bleak and mean-spirited, the central message does have at least some worth to it, if you're in the right mindset and can deal with the tone then I think it might be a good watch.
12.18.2012 - 04:52 | Mulletmanalive - Fellow DSLR user...Loved the puppets but it seemed inappropriate to mess about with DoF for that as, lets be fair, that's not how you see a puppet show...
If you ever need something funny [intentionally] to look at, i recommend Korgoth of Barbaria, an in picked up animation trailer that's available for free on youtube. Pity it was before Here Comes Dr Tran showed there was probably profit in internet cartoons...

Conducting Meetings
Though not necessary, most groups will find it necessary to have regular organization meetings in order to carry out the purpose. Whether you meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, it's important that your meetings run smoothly. You don't want to waste your members' time and lose their confidence by having in-effective and disorganized meetings.
Tips for a good meeting
- Be consistent: meet at a regular time and place to help your members get into a habit of attending the meetings - groups who schedule meetings as they come up usually have a lower turnout - keep a consistent day and time for your organization to reduce scheduling conflicts and give members plenty of advance notice
- Be organized: use parliamentary procedure; create a meeting agenda and stick to it
- Make it interactive: delegate announcements and reports to other members and officers for variety and to give others a reason to attend
- Make it fun: provide food and/or drinks; do an ice breaker or other activity; educate members by bringing in a speaker
Parliamentary Procedure
Parliamentary Procedure can help meetings run quickly and smoothly. Most organizations use Robert's Rules of Order to facilitate their meetings. Robert's Rules of Order are designed to allow the majority to rule while protecting the rights of the minority while still allowing meetings to flow and the organization to accomplish what they need to accomplish.
Sample Agenda
I. Call to Order: The Chairperson says, "The meeting will please come to order."
II. Roll Call: Members say "present" as their name is called by the Secretary.
III. Minutes: The Secretary reads a record of the last meeting.
IV. Officers' Reports: Officers give a report to group when called on, usually limited to a time if necessary.
V. Committee Reports: First come reports from "standing" or permanent committees, then "ad hoc" or special committees.
VI. Special Reports: Important business previously designated for consideration at this meeting.
VII. Unfinished Business: Items left over from previous meetings.
VIII. New Business: Introduction of new topics.
IX. Announcements: Informing the assembly of other subjects and events.
X. Adjournment: The meeting ends by a vote, or by general consent.

Celiac Disease Nutrition Guide, 3rd Ed. (Single Copy)
This easy to read "survival guide" outlines essential information for people diagnosed with Celiac disease.
By Holly Larson, MS, RD
Fiber is an essential nutrient. However, most Americans are falling far short of the recommended daily amount in their diets. Women should aim for 25 grams of fiber per day, while men should target 38 grams (or 21 and 30 grams daily, respectively, for those over the age of 51).
Dietary fiber contributes to our health and wellness in a number of ways. First, it aids in providing fullness after meals, which helps promote a healthy weight. Second, adequate fiber can help to lower cholesterol. Third, it helps prevent constipation and diverticulosis; and, fourth, adequate fiber from food helps keep blood sugar within a healthy range.
Eating the skin or peel of fruits and vegetables provides a greater dose of fiber, which is found naturally in these sources. Fiber is also found in beans and lentils, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Typically, the more refined or processed a food becomes, the lower its fiber content. For example, one medium apple with the peel contains 4.4 grams of fiber, while ½ cup of applesauce contains 1.4 grams, and 4 ounces of apple juice contains none at all.
With a few simple and tasty substitutions, you can increase your fiber from foods in no time. For breakfast, choose steel cut oats with nuts and berries instead of a plain low-fiber, refined cereal. At lunch, have a sandwich or wrap on a whole-grain tortilla or whole-grain bread and add veggies, such as lettuce and tomato, or serve with veggie soup. For a snack, have fresh veggies or whole-grain crackers with hummus. With dinner, try brown rice or whole-grain noodles instead of white rice or pasta made with white flour.
Here are a few whole foods that are naturally high in fiber:
When increasing fiber, be sure to do it gradually and with plenty of fluids. Fiber in your diet is similar to a new sponge; it needs water to plump up. If you consume more than your usual intake of fiber but not enough fluid, you may experience nausea or constipation.
Before you reach for the fiber supplements, consider this: fiber is found naturally in nutritious, whole foods. Studies have found the same benefits, such as a feeling of fullness may not result from fiber supplements or from fiber-enriched foods. If you're missing out on your daily amount of fiber, you may be trailing in other essential nutrients as well. Your fiber intake is a good gauge for overall diet quality. Try to reach your fiber goal with whole foods so you get all the other benefits they provide.

Templatize to Simplify
Pre-Made Vehicle Templates
Business professionals in all industries look for ways to drive efficiency into every working hour. In the graphic arts, this means implementing efficient RIP software, sophisticated substrates, and a lights-out workflow. Any full-service sign shop knows that to make money, it is necessary to look for even the smallest tools to aid in the workflow department. For the well experienced or the novice, one solution to consider is pre-made vehicle templates.
A useful tool for layout design, they minimize the risk of error. Trusting a supplier that takes the time to accurately measure a vehicle means print service providers (PSPs) can move on to the next step, design. According to a recent poll taken by Digital Output (DO) readers, nearly 73 percent of respondents share that one of the reasons they use or have considered using vehicle templates is because of the associated time savings. This leaves more time for sales and profit.
Templates do more than save time, however. They also make for ideal proofing and prototyping tools. Customers may have a hard time visualizing just how their final graphic will turn out, or where an image might be placed on a vehicle. A mocked up proof is the ideal sales tool to close the deal. 64 percent of DO survey participants use vehicle templates as sales tools.
There are a variety of solutions available to PSPs interested in pre-made vehicle templates. For the consummate vehicle wrapper, investing in a solution from Art Station Vehicle Templates, Digital Designware, or SA International, Inc. (SAi); whose collections offer over hundreds of templates ranging from cars to boats spanning several model years, is worthwhile.
Collections for the Collector
Most templates are vector-based, allowing for ease of manipulation without loss of quality. However, some are also offered as raster files, to promote a high-quality image. All solutions include cars and trucks, with boats and motorcycles as additional options depending on the collection.
100 percent of the DO readers involved in the vehicle template survey shared they have used templates for cars. 73 percent admit to using them for trucks and coming in third with 18 percent were those who say they use templates for boats. Nine percent claim to use templates for motorcycles and another nine percent for airplanes.
Art Station provides cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans, with a promise of semis available soon. Templates are saved as EPS files and compatible with any program that supports them. Model years are available the first day of that year. The 2011 edition was available on January 1, 2011.
The Car �n Truck Pro Vehicle Outlines collection from Digital Designware offers model years from 1993 to 2011, with boats, motorcycles, trucks, and cars. It is compatible with products from CADlink Technology Corporation and SAi, as well as through design programs from Adobe Systems Incorporated and Corel Corporation on both Mac and Windows platforms. Pro Vehicle Outlines� upcoming templates are generally available on December 1 of the preceding calendar year.
Digital Designware�s solution stands out from its competition in a number of ways. �It is one of the largest collections with over 60,000 templates available. Pro Vehicle Outlines comes as a hard copy printed catalog as well as easy to use three-dimensional (3D) conversion software that creates 3D renderings of vehicles, a great presentation tool,� explains Luke Green, sales manager, North America, Digital Designware.
Heather Wilkinson, owner, Window of Opportunity Inc., learned about Digital Designware four years ago�meeting a sales representative at a trade show in Toronto. �Having vehicles accessible makes it easy to present accurate and professional drawings to our clients,� she shares. Adding that the templates are helpful when outsourcing designs to out-of-office graphic designers, Wilkinson says emailing the files makes for an easy process.
SAi offers The Bad Wrap templates, which contain 320 vehicles; this includes cars and boats. These high-resolution TIFF files can be opened and edited in SAi�s Flexi 10 or Adobe Photoshop 7 or higher. Currently, they span model years from 1987 and 2010. 2011 templates are currently being developed and SAi expects to release them shortly.
Citing the ideal use of templates as sales tools, Stephanie Stamm, marketing manager, SAi, shares, �The Bad Wrap is an excellent presentation tool. Designers can drag and drop any graphic onto the template for a fast, life-like preview. Customers are impressed with the quality and speed of the proof, and can offer on-the-spot feedback.�
Providing a customer testimonial, Jim Wheat, owner, Pro DeZigns, says he�s used The Bad Wrap since 2006, when he began wrapping vehicles. �It is one of our most valuable assets. In the wrap industry time is money, and the last thing you want to do is skimp on design and presentation. Pre-made vehicle templates are invaluable tools for concept, design, and most importantly, printing,� he adds.
Purchase Options
Purchasing a collection versus one-off templates depends on the volume of vehicle graphics a shop runs through on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.
Art Station templates are priced at $299, but they regularly run specials. Individual templates are available through the company�s Web site. Bundled packages that include vector art and Wrap Master collections are available through distributors including Southbeach Graphics of Albuquerque, NM; Taylor Digital Imaging of New Brunswick, Canada; and Cutter Pros of Peoria, AZ.
Digital Designware�s templates are available from the company directly or through distributors. There are two solutions; a complete set on DVD with a hard copy manual and free online access to new or archived templates for a full year, or an online copy with unlimited template access for a six-month period.
SAi�s The Bad Wrap templates are available in two ways. First, The Bad Wrap DVD Collection, which retails for $795 in North America. Others looking for individual files should look to sign.com, where templates range in price from $29.95 to $34.95.
If a user isn�t interested in spending money on a targeted solution�such as those from Art Station, Digital Designware, and SAi�pre-made templates are inexpensively found on stock photography sites like iStockphoto�with images running around 15 credits, which is the equivalent of 24 to 95 cents a credit depending on the payment plan. Templates are also found in desktop publishing programs such as the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite.
Creation of a Template
According to Art Station, it usually takes four to five hours to complete a full template. Larry Lopez, owner, Art Station, explains that he takes his own photos and measurements at a car dealership. He stands about 25 to 30 feet away from the vehicle to reduce lens distortion. After images are captured, measurements are taken using tailor�s tape because according to Lopez, �it is soft and flexible and will not harm the vehicle�s surface.�
Lopez uses Adobe Illustrator to trace the photos at tenth scale. If a door is 41x32 inches, it becomes 4.1x3.2 inches. He then makes shapes out of the doors, hood, trunk, and gates�making it easier for designers to control color fills, as the templates are kept in B&W to only show design parameters. �I also provide an undistorted rear window shape because most vehicles may show an accurate rear drawing but the windows are foreshortened due to perspective issues,� adds Lopez.
Many of Art Stations� customers find this in particular an attractive feature. Todd LaBrie, president/CEO, Carwraps, Inc., is one such client. �Lopez creates outlines that show every detail. It helps prevent the graphics professional from experiencing unexpected fit and finish issues, which are costly and time consuming,� he explains.
When Digital Designware creates a template it takes them approximately ten hours. They are created using manufacturer-supplied vehicle renderings, as well as physical viewing and measuring. Once all of the information is gathered, a vector line drawing is created and saved in Adobe Illustrator and then uploaded to the Pro Vehicle Outlines Web site.
Ranging from four to ten hours, these suppliers cut down on a considerable amount of time for the PSP. For a print shop that regularly produces vehicle wraps, creating a template for every job adds unneeded pressure to the task at hand. Every car is different, and assuming the same template will be used for every project is unreasonable.
Despite this, many PSPs have admitted to creating vehicle wraps without templates. 81 percent of the readers polled in DO�s survey share they do not use this time saving method on a regular basis. When asked how much longer it takes to create the vehicle wrap in question, 22 percent say four to five hours, 33 percent two to three, and 33 percent say one to two hours.
Why would a print provider not use pre-made templates? One reason is to exhibit control over the entire process, making a template just as well as the vendor. Lopez shares some advice, �some people take it to the next level and produce their own vector templates. Just keep in mind that it takes time out of your schedule. One way to make more money is to save time.�
Aiding in Application
Not only do pre-made templates save time in the design process, PSPs also use them to accurately wrap during application.
�Designers are able to easily reference key areas of the vehicle and be very precise in the positioning of the important elements within the overall design. The printed template is used as a reference during wrap application,� explains Green.
36 percent of readers share they also utilize vehicle templates to eliminate errors during the application process.
Tim Cuny, CO, Trimex Mobile, Marketing, Inc., has used Art Station�s vehicle templates for over five years to create detailed lunch truck templates. To target those who visit lunch trucks every day, Trimex�s clients request graphics for the back and sides of a truck. �Used as a mobile cafeteria for factories, construction sites, and industrial parks, a wrapped lunch truck becomes a rolling advertisement with eye-catching graphics,� says Cuny.
Save Times Infinity
Recognizing the benefits of pre-made vehicle templates are essential to a well-run sign shop. PSPs who constantly create vehicle wraps, or those just getting their feet wet, should consider either purchasing one of the above solutions or trying out images on a template-by-template basis.
The attractiveness of these tools is their ability to save time and money, on both the front and back end of a project. Ideally, they convey a look of cleanliness and sophistication when presenting a prototype or proof to a client.

Financial Literacy In A Transitional Demographic 2011
Client: Commonwealth Bank Foundation
The Workplace Research Centre was commissioned by the Commonwealth Bank Foundation to investigate levels of financial literacy in a young, transitional demographic - those aged 18 to 24 enrolled in vocational education and training (VET). The research investigated not only the understanding of 245 VET students, but also their practices, attitudes and behaviours in numerous areas of personal financial decision making. Using a combination of an online survey and focus groups, six distinct areas were investigated- numeracy and money management, budgeting and living within means, choosing financial products, saving and planning, borrowing and debt literacy, and recourse and self-help.

Eventually, the material builds up and a plaque is formed, narrowing the artery. When the build-up is severe, a clot could block the vessel completely.

College Women's Condom Use Falls in Freshman Year
FRIDAY, March 2 (HealthDay News) -- Women become less likely to insist on condom use during the course of their first year of college, new research finds.
Declining condom use was most notable among women who drank excessively, who had worse grades and who came from poorer backgrounds.
"We know unprotected sex puts women at greater risk for unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, yet there has been a gap in research specifically focusing on changes in condom use during women's college years," study author Jennifer Walsh, a researcher with the Miriam Hospital's Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine in Providence, R.I., said in a hospital news release.
The study was published online in the Journal of Sex Research.
The study focused on 279 freshman women -- nearly three-quarters of whom were white -- who provided monthly reports on their use of condoms, their grades and their drinking and marijuana habits. The women also gave background information on family income, their parents' education levels and their religious beliefs.
Over the course of the women's freshman year, condom use declined gradually.
Black women, women who had multiple prior sexual partners and women who said they were less likely to practice safe sex when drinking alcohol were less likely to ever start using condoms.
"College women often engage in serial monogamy, resulting in multiple partners during the college years, and they are often unaware of their partners' risk," Walsh said. "This makes continued condom use important for women's health."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned down an effort by the Republican National Committee to end a 30-year-old court order aimed at preventing intimidation of minority voters.
The justices did not comment Monday in rejecting an appeal of lower court decisions that left the order in place at least until 2017.
The order stems from a lawsuit filed by Democrats in New Jersey in 1981 that objected to a "ballot security" program the RNC ran in minority neighborhoods.
Republicans said the order hampers efforts to combat voter fraud, but U.S. District Judge Dickinson Debevoise said voter intimidation remains a threat and preventing it outweighs the potential danger of fraud.
The court action is unrelated to legal challenges to Republican-inspired voter identification laws in the 2012 campaign.

Boycotting the Sun tabloid
sallam wallakum.I have noticed for a long time now, the anti Muslim and racist attitude of the Sun newspaper.They deliberately fabricate reports to show Muslims up in a bad light even though many of them turned out to be false.Many of their columnists are right wing islamaphobes such as Trevor Kavanagh and John Gaunt who demonise the British Muslim community every chance they get.They even have a muslimah on their columnist panel just to blend it through audibillah.
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to setup some sort of campaign in the UK to get Muslim owned newsagents,mini markets,petrol stations etc to stop selling the paper and individual Muslims to stop buying it.
As Muslims we should not even be buying the Sun as it contains pornography however i was shocked to notice the large number of Muslim owned corner shops and newsagents who sell that crap, not to mention the vast number of Muslims who read it.
The Sun itself claims that 17% percent of British Muslims read the Sun
I do not know if there is any truth to this however we must make an effort
to show our disdain for these kaffirs who only seek to divide the Muslims further.
your feedback is greatly appreciated.

As for john gaunt i didnt know he was a sun columnist but i do listen to him on talksport radio and i am interested in what he has to say because unlike other kuffs he doesnt beat around the bush, its never got to a stage where he insults islam explicitly but obviously he is against religion. Its quite funny because he has issues with many ills of british society e.g crime, alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancy, high taxes etc, chavs, broken families and i always sit there thinking if only he understood that islam provides a solution to all these things.

lol the biggest negative feedback i am getting with this is from Muslims surprisingly enough.
They are complaining that if Muslim shop owners stopped selling the Sun then their profits would decrease and that the buyers would just get it from Kaffr owned shops.
sounds to be like the typical "Drug dealer" cop out
"if they don't buy it from me, then they will go elsewhere"

Bro' I know you mean well 'but if he sells the sun, he sells tobacco' if he sells tobacco' he sells alcohol' he also sells porn magazines' I doubt that such Muslims don't give a monkeys what s in the content of the sun' we are talking the 17% that hang out in the bookies and need to tick off their horses? Also ask them why they sell these things they'll give you an answer "this is none Muslims society brother we don't have to implement shariah!" really I have tried it.

The British tabloids used to attack the Irish in the same way that it now attacks Muslims yet Irish people continued to read this trash and still do. I know many people who buy several of these rags each morning and they are the sole place from which those people get their news as they don't read anything besides the papers and they don't even watch BBC which for its many faults is still much less biased than the likes of the Sun.
It seems to be the working class people who tend to buy the Sun and it is these very peoples ignorance which is being manipulated by the enemies of Islam.

ok, now medical science has gone just a little too far here…maybe.
Just a little? Well, possibly.
other day I came across a UPI press release that announced a new
sexual breakthrough for women: a cure for female erectile dysfunction.
I heard me right. Female erectile dysfunction. This is the condition
by which a female does not achieve the satisfaction of orgasm due
to a lack of arousal. So how do we help arouse women who are not
so easily aroused?
gifting her with a clone of Mel Gibson in his Braveheart
skirt is not a possibility, then there's always the Eros system
pump-driven vacuum that was recently approved by that all-important
agency known as the FDA. Not the Female Dysfunctional Agency, but
that Food and Drug whatchamacallitt that we all despise so much.
Not that we need a government agency to "officially" approve a product
that consumers choose to purchase or not to purchase on their own,
anyway. But that's all about government regulation, and statism,
and legalized gangstering sponsored by the clowns in D.C., and I'll
leave that for another commentary piece.
so this device, or pump thing, works like this: a little suction
cup sort of like those ones that hold those little "Garfield Cats"
to car windows is placed over the female's…(ahem) clitoris, and
this tube attaches it to a battery-operated vacuum device. One simply
turns on the vacuum, and this causes blood to flow to the clitoris,
and this process is thought to be the female version of the erection.
In fact, this "engorging" process is said to be the hot button to
sexual ecstasy and pleasure.
Clitoral Therapy device (CTD) is made by a St. Paul company called
UroMetrics, Inc. It costs between $250-$359, and has made the American
Urological Association excited by the fact the medical research
field has made great progress in treatment for women's sexual problems.
believe me, I'm all for terrific strides being made in the marketplace
in terms of curing and/or alleviating sexual dysfunction. It's a
noble and worthy cause, and there is certainly a market for such
products. But I'm still having a hard (no pun intended) time understanding
the whole female erection thing.
to a neat little website done by Western Nevada Community College,
I now know that a female erection is caused by "parasympathetic
impulses from the sacral cord (S2, S3, S4) to the clitoris. These
same motor nerves innervate the ischiocavernosus muscle. These same
nerves cause the clitoris to retract under the clitoral hood, later.
The result is that clitoral arterioles dilate and the clitoral venules
constrict. This puts high-pressure blood flow into the corpora cavernosa.
The clitoris becomes erect it is said to be in a state of tumescence,
i.e., a condition of being swollen, or a swelling." Not that I have
the slightest clue of what any of that means, nor do I care as long
as all that is working properly.
have to ask myself if this female sexual therapy stuff is just some
ploy to send a woman to her gynecologist instead of her psychologist
for treatment of her lack of desire for sex? That way, she can have
a professional acknowledge that it is not her fault that she is
not experiencing orgasms. Or maybe it's a gender equality thing.
That if the guys can have their little vacuum pumps, so can we.
Boston University sex therapy expert Irwin Goldstein says that "technology
arrived first on the male side, and is just now arriving for the
other gender." Vacuum pump envy?
me if I seem a little suspicious that this could possibly be a case
of otherwise idle psychobabblers maintaining a kind of gender equality
between us ladies and the guys. In other words, we can suffer impotence
of which physical – not just psychological – problems are the root
cause. Here I go with my paleolibertarian, conspiracy-thing again,
but I can't help it.
is this legitimate? Don't ask me. Maybe that's a question for Dr.
Ruth. The ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor was identified – via ancient
images – with sexual pleasure. But none of those images of her ever
showed any pump thing hanging around. In fact, back then they didn't
even have them little Garfield Cats with the suction cups, anyway.
someone's statistics show that forty million women suffer sexual
dysfunction at some point. This includes lack of clitoral sensation,
less interest in sex, and of course, the inability to achieve orgasm.
Currently, Viagra and testosterone are being tested with women to
help alleviate some of these problems.
kinda wondered if this was some mindboggling conspiracy of a bunch
of feminist types who want to blame their orgasmless lives on a
little body part they simply can't control. Nah. Or I wondered if
it is a reaction of penis envy? Probably not. Or was this a coup
of sexual therapy science by a bunch of guys who were tired of the
Meg Ryan-When
Harry Met Sally-"I'll have what she's having" scenario played
out in their own lives? Don't be ridiculous. (For those who never
saw When Harry Met Sally, that means endless "fakies.")
simply seems that someone figured that some women may need a little
help at some point, and capitalism capitalized on this most capitalistic
of opportunities.
there was the "G" spot, and the next thing ya know, they're gonna
say we need a cure for premature ejaculation, too! Gosh, I hope

After years of construction and limited access to the waterfront, St. Mary's College is delighted to celebrate Reunion 2009 with a majority of events taking place on the "old" side of campus.
Alumni are invited to take a step back in time to reconnect with the place where some of their fondest memories began. They can discover the magnificent views of a summer sunset from the upper deck of the new River Center, catch up with old friends on the pier, or venture out on the river for a leisurely cruise. There are also several lectures, many events for the kids, and the popular crab feast. New this year: On-campus housing accommodations include suites, apartments and camping, and a special area for alumni who wish to party until the sun comes up. In addition, blocks of rooms have been reserved at two hotels in Lexington Park. Reunions, we are reminded, are for everyone, not just those celebrating milestone anniversaries. Register at www.smcm.edu/reunion

Pathway to Charles County History
Julia King, St. Mary's College associate professor of anthropology, is getting to know Charles County, Maryland, from every angle. Last summer, she and several students discovered the long lost 17th-century county courthouse under a soybean field - just in time for the county's 350th birthday. This winter, she and two other authors published a stunningly illustrated comprehensive history of the county from the earliest arrival of humans, about 10,000 years ago, to today.Published by the Smallwood Foundation, a non-profit educational organization based in the county, Pathways to History: Charles County, Maryland, 1658-2008 commemorates the 350th anniversary of the county and offers fresh perspectives on its history. Just 35 miles from the nation's capital, Charles County is rich in natural and human history. Created by the Maryland Assembly in 1658, this peninsula county, bordered by the Potomac, Wicomico and Patuxent rivers, is the birthplace of Revolutionary War heroes, Confederate agents and two of the most inspirational figures in African American history. Today, it is one of the fastest growing counties in Maryland.
More than 370 illustrations accompany the text. Meticulously indexed, the book is a valuable reference work for students of rural American history on the eve of the 21st century and owes much to the citizens of Charles County who shared their stories and artifacts.Smallwood Foundation was formed in 1938 to restore the Charles County home of William Smallwood, Maryland's highest-ranking Revolutionary War officer. Proceeds from the sale of this book will fund research, restoration, and preservation of Charles County's history. Copies may be found at Borders in Waldorf and at the College of Southern Maryland's Bookstore in La Plata, or ordered on the book's website, www.charlescountypathways.org.

(EW.com) -- Sam Mendes is taking a page from J.J. Abrams's book.
No, the Oscar-winning director isn't learning to embrace the lens flare. Instead, he's aping the way Abrams officially signed on to direct a high-profile franchise extension earlier this year — despite denying his involvement in the project just months before.
Danny Boyle says no to James Bond: 'I'm not the right guy' to direct
The team behind James Bond's 24th big-screen outing revealed today that Mendes will in fact direct their next film, the follow-up to his extraordinarily successful "Skyfall."
The announcement comes four months after Mendes released a statement saying that he would not return for another Bond film, due to "theater and other commitments" — specifically, the director cited stage productions of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "King Lear."
Helen Mirren reminds Sam Mendes that women direct movies, too
Thankfully for "Skyfall" fans, those time conflicts seem to have been worked out.
"I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honor all my theater commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24," Mendes said in a statement. "I very much look forward to taking up the reins again, and to working with Daniel Craig, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for a second time."
The next Bond movie is set to be released Oct. 23, 2015 in the U.K. and Nov. 6, 2015 in the U.S. It will once again star Daniel Craig as Britain's top secret agent; "Skyfall" writer John Logan is returning to pen its script as well.

My younger cousin talked nothing but marines growing up, signed up a bunch of weekend drills when he was in high school, wore nothing but marnine shirts and talked about nothing else but he is kinda a story teller so I figured I would see what happened after he got out of school. When he graduated they had all plans of shipping him off that summer to go to boot camp. Well long story short he got scared when it came close to that time and started doing all the drugs he could to fail every piss test they gave him. So they dropped him eventually cause he wouldn't clean out so he won, I just always thought that was a funny way not to go after you've signed on the dotted line.

I knew someone who kept telling everyone he was going to join but never did. Found out from the recruiter that he kept failing the test. I was too skinny 6'3' 135lbs(I've only gained 2 inches in height but doubled in weight since then. Lying recruiter told me they destroy the records after 1 year so I back down to the AFEES building and tried again. I went thru the physical and everything else but when it came time to sign the form saying I had never tried to enlist and nobody had told me how to answer the questions I didn't like the part about 10 years or $10,000 fine so I walked out. On the way out they handed me a folder with all my previous info saying that I had been declared permantly ineligble. Lying bastard recruiter wouldn't even come back down to Detoilet and drive me back.

I watched three guys from my high school sign up, one being hardcore rotc and all that jazz. They all found ways out of it once they got to boot camp, and I haven't talked to them since. One faked his asthma attacks from when he was a kid, one purposely hurt himself, and I don't remember what the last one did.
My mom and grandma said "I'm too smart to go into the military". Just like they said I was "too smart" for football. I never understood that and probably never will. They also said I was too smart to be a welder :Sonicjay:
I never really pursued it, but if I was needed I would sign up no problem. Not particularly fond of the man in charge, but I have a lot of respect for the armed forces. Save a couple delinquents here and there.
I'm not sure if they would accept me with my janky ankle and lower back tweak though.
To all of you guys that have served on here, much respect and thank you for what you have done. If you ever meet me, make sure I buy you a drink.

I don't look down on others for not serving.
"I was going to join the Marines but I didn't want to scare my family when I got back from boot camp."
"I was going to join the military but my uncle gave me a job that pays really well."
"Oh yeah? Hows the job?"
"Umm, I got fired for coming in late."
"I was going to join the military but I really love my girl."
"Yeah? How is she?"
"Ummm, I dumped her a few weeks after I talked to the recruiter."

They medicalled me out after a serious back injury. So then I became a defense contractor and went right back aboard...
And this is when it was hard - in the early 80s, only mental patients and recruits/candidates had buzz cuts. :sonic jay:
In all honesty, I respect all that make the choice.
And at the risk of looking like an old guy (more than normal) I really think we need to reinstate the draft.
For years and years, those young men without direction were inducted into the military where they gained basic life skills, marketable job skills, self-discipline, and direction. They became better people and citizens as a result, understanding that they are part of a larger society.
Today, we have hoardes of "eternal adolescents" who are essentially 25 or 30 year-old teenagers who think they're the nucleus of their own little universe.

Kettering didn't have many deadbeats because they get weeded out so early. If you don't go to college and are not working a full time job, you get to serve.

And I'm not implying that all young guys are "without direction".
History tells us that those with direction will go to school at Kettering (as an old GMI guy, I struggle with that) or maybe somewhere with women, start on a career path in the trades, or otherwise start "life".
Others mill about and "fail to launch" in life. These guys need that additional socialization the military provides. I know many people my age and older who's lives were put onto a good path by a stint in the military.

I had my head too far up my ass at 18/19 to sign up.
I I have spent the last 8 years working my way into a decent job and buying a house. I have been in a few long relationships that crashed and burned.
Things seemed so clear at 18, my goals and plans inarguable. Now I look back and wonder wtf I was thinking.
I spoke with a recruiter last summer(25 years old). The metal in my left elbow, history of epilepsy and a few other injuries keept me from passing the medical.
I work with an ex marine, he is a compile dbag with a side of fat fukc . Most exmilitary guys are average and normal but a few have that uniform a little too far up the ass.

I went in the USCG at 17 with a buddy, he lasted about two weeks and claimed a history of migraines and was discharged. I ended up doing my 20 and retired in 2008, he will still bring up his migraines and what if.

I had two friends in high school that, after I just enlisted at the age of 17, tell me that they "Didn't want to take the easy way out." Now one is dead from dinking and driving and the other just got his own place at the age of 28.

In response to Fiercest34's comment:
"The defense was not set many times due to their poor offensive sets."
Going from offense to defense is called transition defense.
I've been saying it all summer long, the Lakers have no transition defense because they're an old team.
And they cannot play the type of suffocating d the heat play..no way..no how..this guy is clueless...

A review of Double Vision (The Next Revision)by silverberetta17 on 11/02/2009Well, well, well. I was very excited to delve into my first Bob script. I've heard great things about your writing...but finally needed to see one for myself. Bob, you write exceptionally well. Your descriptions and actions are crisp and succinct. You get to the point in every scene and that's wonderful. Of course you know that already. Your dialogue is very good. I mean... read
A review of America Lostby silverberetta17 on 04/19/2008This review is especially difficult for me because while I agree with the message here, the story and characters do not work for me at all.

A review of Out of Contextby silverberetta17 on 03/24/2008I wanted to watch this short because the synopsis seemed eerily similar to a script I'm working on. Having said that, I think this is a neat little short. I liked all of the shots as it kept me intrigued as to what the mystery here was. The acting was all good, and this is a very well made piece from a technical standpoint. Now I think there might be one too many lines devoted... read

themanager on 12/01/2010You're definitely on the right track with the internship. That's a fabulous way to learn about the business. If it's non-paid, try and turn it into a paying job, and network, network, network.
If you're outside Los Angeles, try and use this as a stepping stone to get here if you can. Always keep moving up if the opportunity presents itself. Don't listen to anyone who tells you it doesn't matter where you live, a foolish opinion that would only find purchase on the internet. For a beginning screenwriter, it matters a lot, and you'll learn that once you arrive inside the studio zone. If it's impossible, then mitigate that unfortunate circumstance however you can.
Write every day and turn off the internet when you're writing, lol. It will make a huge difference.
Good luck!

A controversial home-defense project will be hitting the streets of Houston soon.
The effort, called the Armed Citizen Project, seeks to give shotguns to residents of moderate and high-crime neighborhoods. University of Houston graduate student Kyle Coplen came up with the idea, and he hopes that because he's publicizing it, criminals will be scared off from targeting the neighborhoods where shotguns have been distributed.
"It's our hypothesis that criminals do not want to die in your hallway," Coplen said. "We think that society should use that fear to deter crime."
The project's gun of choice will be a single-shot shotgun.
"They're pretty inexpensive, easy to learn how to use and they make good home defense weapons," Coplen said.
The program recently sent representatives to over 400 homes in the Houston area, offering them the opportunity to acquire one of the shotguns and receive firearm training. Coplen says the project hopes to provide around 100 of the residents with a shotgun in the near future.

Editor's note: CNN cameraman Todd Baxter shares his first-hand account of covering the conflict in Ukraine in a revealing reporter's notebook.
Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) -- The gunbattle was so close it rattled the walls.
I grabbed my camera and pointed it out the window, looking toward Independence Square. From more than 10 stories up, I filmed the chaos. Protesters were all around, ramming into the lines of police officers. Black smoke hung in the air. Gunfire rang out.
I saw a medic shot in the arm. He was helped to safety. I saw at least 20 wounded people carried away. But the gunmen could not be seen. There was panic. People looked skyward, scanning rooftops for snipers. At one point, a crowd of protesters stormed this hotel. They searched, floor to floor, trying to confirm a rumor that snipers were shooting from here.
Then there was another rumor about what was in the lobby of this hotel.
I clutched my camera and ran down the stairs. Little did I know then that I was about to see even more misery in what would turn out to be the worst day I've seen since arriving in Kiev.
As I ran, I noticed bullet holes in the stairwell windows. Three had pierced through a second-floor window. Three more had shattered through another window.
And then I saw the bodies.
There were five bodies underneath the stairs, lifeless feet peeking out of the white sheets that covered them. There were more bodies lined up just feet from the reception desk. They were wrapped in white sheets and red splotches bled through.
A priest paced back and forth. We were told that the priest had blessed the bodies even though people were still trying to find out who the victims were. Protesters went through the pockets of the fallen, searching for identification cards.
We were told that the wounded and dying had to be brought to the closest place. That's why this hotel had been chosen. There were no ambulances, just people struggling to drag in the fallen.
This happened just hours after the Ukraine government declared a truce in the fighting here that has shocked the world. Clearly, the truce had not held.
A day ago this looked like a typical hotel lobby. Now it was a makeshift morgue. I counted 11 bodies. We were told later that in all 13 people had been rushed into this hotel, three of them clinging to life. None of them made it.
On the other side of the lobby someone was wiping streaks of blood off the white marble floor. Outside, gunfire still rang out.
And they continue to bring in bodies.
CNN's Todd Baxter dictated from Kiev, Ukraine. Lateef Mungin wrote from Atlanta.
