Part of "Breakthroughs: Where Inspiration and Technology Meet," a new webinar series designed by Adobe and AIGA
Designers love type. And most are meticulous about setting type for their print projects to ensure the best reading experience possible. Now with more and more people reading magazines, books and news on digital devices, how can designers apply tried and true traditional type rules to the mobile space?
In this webinar, we looked at how to optimize typography for smaller screen real estate, exploring how good typographic principles such as line-height, line-length, contrast, scannability, white space, and hierarchy can improve the mobile reading experience.
This webinar was recorded on October 24, 2012. Watch the recorded session

Governor Elevates Undersecretary Gonzalez to Administration's Top A&F Position
Undersecretary of Administration and Finance Jay Gonzalez, a key architect of the administration's budget policies and capital plan, will assume the role of secretary on October 12, the Governor said.
"Leslie is a stand-out in her field and a dear friend. Thanks to her exceptional leadership, our Commonwealth is set to emerge from the worst fiscal crisis in generations stronger than before," said Governor Patrick. "With the help of her intelligence, diligence and creativity, we have made tough but necessary budget choices, protected core services for the most vulnerable, and invested wisely in our economic future. I thank Leslie for a job exceptionally well done and wish her every success and happiness in the future."
"Jay has been with us since day one and is intimately familiar with the state's finances," Governor Patrick continued. "He is a tremendous talent with a deep understanding of our capital spending plan, landmark transportation reform law and our strategies for federal stimulus investment. Jay will keep Massachusetts' economic foundations strong and ensure we stay on course toward economic recovery."
Under the leadership of Secretary Kirwan, Administration and Finance has helped the Governor deliver a series of fiscal accomplishments in the face of historic budget constraints. Chief among them are passing three timely, balanced and honest budgets; aggressively and pro-actively managing FY09 revenue shortfalls; securing and investing millions in stimulus funds; and closing long-standing and egregious pension law and tax law loopholes. As chair of the Board of the Connector, Kirwan steered the authority responsible for implementing Massachusetts' landmark health care reform initiative through its formative stages and achieved unanimous votes on every big decision. She also co-chaired the Payment Reform Commission, which made important cost containment recommendations to ensure health care reform's sustainability.
"Looking back over close to three years as Administration and Finance Secretary, I am very proud of our record of fiscal responsibility in the midst of unprecedented economic challenges," said Secretary Kirwan. "It has been an honor to witness this Governor every day make the tough choices required of real leaders while also understanding the human impact behind each budget decision. Thanks to my exceptional team, we have been able to realize his vision of maintaining the fiscal health and sustainability of the budget while investing in key programs that lift people up."
"I am honored by Governor Patrick's confidence in me and look forward to maintaining the Commonwealth's solid financial footing as we meet the challenges that lie ahead responsibly and compassionately," said Undersecretary Gonzalez. "I could not have had a better role model for the job than Secretary Kirwan. She has demonstrated strong and capable fiscal leadership during the most severe downturn since the Great Depression, and she did so with grace and integrity. It has been a privilege to work with Leslie, and I wish her well in her new role at Harvard."
In his role as Undersecretary of Administration and Finance, Gonzalez's primary responsibilities included overseeing the development of the state's capital budget and the financing of the state's capital investments; working with the Executive Office of Transportation in the development and implementation of the Governor's transportation reform initiative; and overseeing certain aspects of the state's implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Prior to serving as Undersecretary, Gonzalez was a Partner at the law firm Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP, where his practice focused on public finance. He served as counsel to cities, towns, school districts and governmental entities throughout New England in connection with the financing and development of major capital projects and other governmental programs. He assisted with a wide array of projects, including the construction of schools and other public buildings, land conservation and various other municipal infrastructure improvements.
Undersecretary Gonzalez graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College, where he received his B.A. in Government, and later graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. He is married to Jenny Richlin and has two daughters, Isabel and Abby. The family resides in Brookline.

Posted on March 29, 2006
Fairfax, VA – Congressman Bobby Jindal of the First District of Louisiana introduced HR 5013, the "Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006", a National Rifle Association (NRA) supported bill amending federal emergency statute laws to stop local authorities from confiscating lawfully owned firearms during times of disaster.
Congressman Jindal stated, "The Second Amendment is a cornerstone of our country's freedom and independence. Particularly during emergencies like those surrounding Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, when incidences of looting, violence and lawlessness were broadcast around the country, we must ensure that law-abiding gun owners are not deprived of their constitutionally protected right to bear arms. I am proud to offer this legislation to protect law-abiding citizens' Constitutional right to bear arms and to defend their lives, families and property against lawless criminals."
NRA Chief Lobbyist Chris W. Cox said, "Hurricane Katrina taught us that lawful citizens need the Second Amendment most during disaster and crisis. New Orleans residents legally armed themselves to protect their lives and property from civil disorder."
33 states have "emergency powers" laws that give the government permission to suspend or limit gun sales, and to prohibit or restrict citizens from transporting or carrying firearms. In some states, authorities are authorized to seize guns outright from citizens who have committed no crime – and who would then be defenseless against disorder.
Cox added, "This bill to amend the federal disaster laws is vital for the future of America. Legislative bodies can, and should, act to protect the self-defense rights of citizens at the times when those rights are most important."
"We would like to thank Rep. Jindal for introducing this bill, and we look forward to when the government will never have the power to confiscate firearms from peaceable and law-abiding citizens," he concluded.
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and to advocate enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services.

Stop duct taping your organization! Learn how membership management software helps you do a lot more with less.
Get a special consumer guide on how 14,182 associations, clubs and nonprofits stopped doing things manually in your inbox.
We will be emailing you your copy of "What is Membership Management" shortly.
As a bonus, we'll be in touch with regular updates on topics of interest to small associations, clubs and non-profits.
In a Content Marketing Institute (CMI) survey, 61% of nonprofits said that they use content marketing and even more organizations are realizing the value of it. Also, nonprofit organizations are producing more content than they were a year ago and feeling more confident about their efforts. ...One of the primary takeaways from the survey is that nonprofits are getting better at using content marketing, but they still have a long way to go until they master it. How can you make your nonprofit content marketing efforts more effective in 2015?
2014 is winding down and the New Year is just around the corner. I hope you had a successful year. The end of the year is a good time to figure out what worked and where you can make improvements for next year. Here are five ways you can improve your fundraising and communications in 2015.
Is your marketing strategy so last season? Update your marketing plan and maximize the impact that your dollars make in 2015 with these five significant trends.
I love this time of year. Not just because of the approaching space for relaxation, friends and family, and great food, but more importantly because it is a time for reflection. The end of the year offers a natural analytic marker between what was and what is yet to come. ...So here are 5 things I'm really hopeful about the nonprofit sector as we head into the new year.
I really don't like making predictions, but I do like writing about the future of cause marketing. So I've combed through my 2014 posts to cull three cause marketing expectations for the next year and beyond.
Technology and digital marketing tools have changed so rapidly in the last few years that many nonprofits are scrambling to keep up. How can social cause organizations compete for attention in our "info-obese" economy, where a shiny new tool pops up every day? How can we provide value to our constituents, donors and various stakeholders, without simply adding to the noise? I have seen several distinct trends appear in the last year – many of which I hope will continue into 2015.
This is a guest post by Allison Fine, an activist, social media revolutionary, and author of the new book Matterness: What Fearless Leaders Know About the Power and Promise of Social Media. Social media have fundamentally upended traditional organizational communications because they are by nature multi-directional. Organizations use them to speak to the world — but the world uses them to speak back. This is very exciting for people like me who thrive in wide-open environments, but it can be disconcerting and disorienting for organizations accustomed to speaking at rather than with the people and the world.
Jargon can kick your butt. Here's evidence from Michael Rosen Says: One Word is Costing Your Fundraising Effort a Fortune. What's the word? "Bequest."
In a world where people have attention spans of eight seconds, nonprofit communicators can use vibrant images to help their stories and messages come to life. A great image can convey an entire narrative that complements key elements of the story you're telling in words. ...The good news is that we are nonprofit communicators in the digital age where incredible online tools are offered for free or very minimal cost. ... Perfect for nonprofit marcom pros who don't have access to graphic designers, or just need to whip up a quick graphic on the fly, here's an overview of my current favourite graphic creation tools.
Membership Engagement is a hot topic - and it isn't going away very soon... ...I think we know by now the concept of membership engagement; but association executives are struggling with how to engage members, and what they should track to determine if their efforts are successful.

Less enthusiasm for guns in Connecticut, Colorado
WASHINGTON (AP) — In Connecticut and Colorado, scenes of the most deadly U.S. mass shootings in 2012, people were less enthusiastic about buying new guns at the end of the year than in most other states, according to an analysis of new FBI data. The biggest surges in background checks for people who want to carry or buy guns occurred in states in the South and West.
The latest government figures reflect huge increases across the U.S. in the number of background checks for gun sales and permits to carry guns at the end of the year. After President Barack Obama's re-election, the school shooting in Connecticut and Obama's promise to support new laws aimed at curbing gun violence, the number of background checks spiked. In Georgia, the FBI processed 37,586 requests during October and 78,998 requests in December; Alabama went from 32,850 to 80,576 during the same period.

WASHINGTON – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's decision to leave the Obama administration to head the University of California system brought strong praise Friday from UC's student regent, a UC Irvine law school student.
Napolitano will be UC's 20th president and its first female leader.
"I think she is incredibly prepared to manage and administer the University of California," student regent Cinthia Flores said. "However, I think she may have a bit of a difficult transition."
That difficulty, Flores said, could lie with her largest new constituency: students.
"I think she may not be as familiar with working toward and working with students," Flores said
Flores, who is a full voting member of the Board of Regents, said she hopes to work with Napolitano on diversity and access to higher education in the UC system.
"Now is the opportune time to construct goals or desired outcomes for the president," Flores said. "As she steps into her role, I think we all have a responsibility to shape her leadership legacy at the university."
Napolitano led the burgeoning Department of Homeland Security through a host of policy changes in the post-9/11 era. She is just the third person to lead the 10-year-old federal department.
She announced her plan to leave to senior staff Friday, the same day UC announced the appointment.
"The opportunity to work with the dedicated men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who serve on the front lines of our nation's efforts to protect our communities and families from harm, has been the highlight of my professional career," she said in a statement.
"After four-plus years of focusing on these challenges, I will be nominated as the next president of the University of California to play a role in educating our nation's next generation of leaders."
"I thank President Obama for the chance to serve our nation during this important chapter in our history," Napolitano said, "and I know the Department of Homeland Security will continue to perform its important duties with the honor and focus that the American public expects."
The appointment was praised by California's Democratic governor and legislative leaders.
"Secretary Napolitano has the strength of character and an outsider's mind that will well serve the students and faculty. It will be exciting to work with her," Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. said in a statement.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Mateo, long an advocate for transparency in UC finances, echoed Flores' urge for a student focus.

US Flag Flapping
Americans can only fly flags made in the US
The American state of Minnesota has announced that all US flags sold in the state should be of American manufacture, and warned violators of the law, that they would be punished by a 1,000 dollar fine, or imprisoned for three months.
The series of new laws is supported by the Flag Manufacturers' Association of America. It has complained about a flood of US flags, valued at 5.3 million dollars, imported mostly from China last year.
Jelly Bellied Flag Flapping! - It is a shame to see the symbol of liberty and freedom being dragged into the gutter as the refuge of protectionism and economic ignorance - cheap Chinese flags make America richer, even if the Flagmakers of America are in inconvenienced.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government says Medicare premiums are going up $5 a month for 2013. That's less than expected, but it'll still eat up nearly one-fourth of the typical cost-of-living raise for retirees.
Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner says the monthly premium for 2013 will be $104.90 a month.
Also known as the Part B premium, it covers outpatient care such as office visits and medical supplies. Taxpayers pay 75 percent of the cost for Part B benefits, and the monthly premium covers the remaining 25 percent.
High-income beneficiaries face bigger increases, from $42 to $230.80 a month. Most low-income beneficiaries have their premiums paid by Medicaid.
Initially, premiums for 2013 were forecast to go up as much as $9 a month, but health care inflation has remained modest.

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA -- Last weekend, I really enjoyed shopping at the various Old Navy in the area where I lived. I started out at Triangle in Raleigh, then Southpoint in Durham, and on Monday, I finished up at Crabtree Raleigh old Navy (06596)
I had purchased over 100.00 worth of items so I began to look for my coupon for 30.00 off. After searching for a while, I went to see if I had left it in my car. Unfortunately, I didn't. Therefore, I went back in the store and told the cashier which in turn she asked a young lady who I assumed was in management. After speaking with her, another young lady named Ebony came over to see what was going on. I explained the situation to her. I told her that I apparently left the coupon at home. I told her that I wanted the items which primary were jewelry for Christmas gifts for my daughter's friends. I told her I would be more than willing to call the coupon in along with my gap credit card and pick the items up on Saturday. I had to leave because my daughter had a 3:30 appointment.
Ebony immediately stated that it was not necessary and the fact that I visited the store almost weekly that she would over ride and give the discount. I was so impressed with her and her discussion. I was willing to call my Gap card to see if they could give me a number but Ebony said that was fine because she didn't want my daughter to be late for her appointment. I am so pleased and happy that she made this experience such a pleasant one. I used to shop a lot at Gap but because of this experience, I will be doing most of my business with Old Navy especially at store number 06596. Thanks Old Navy for hiring such a wonderful employee by the name of Ebony.

Rude Staff, 5 hour delay on runway, Hot Sauna type plane
Posted by
NY TO ROMA -- On May 26 2011 I made my first trip to Europe. We were flying Alitalia via Delta. The plane was delayed for FIVE hours while we were inside this plane. US rules do not apply to international flights. There's no individual air on this plane and the temperature was HOT. We were served food that tasted like cardboard and only 4 cups of water in the 13 hours we were trapped inside this aircraft. At one point my son went back to an attendant and asked for a Pepsi. The attendant was rude and said there are no drinks. My son pointed to a 3/4 full Pepsi on the table behind him. The guy said, Fine! Pour it yourself. I complained June 9th when I returned. I have had NO RESPONSE from them yet. None.
Do everything you can to avoid flying Alitalia. Our return trip aboard Delta was perfect.

this sounds like a horrible ordeal.
hopefully you can choose a different airline next time.
very helpful review!

Sounds awful. Five hours is quite a long time to be trapped. Especially if you are with young kids or if you have your pet on board. Sounds like the attendants had enough too, and were getting snappy. I'm sure they were given a very difficult time from passengers, but they shouldn't have been so rude to your kid. Glad your trip home was better.
BEJ on 07/13/2011:
I have a love/hate relationship with flying these days myself. Thanks for the review.
Nohandle on 07/13/2011:
A long time ago I was on an aircraft that had no air while the plane was awaiting clearance for departure. We were allowed once to depart the plane and return to the terminal, left all our things on the aircraft, and climbed back on board a bit later. Then the pilot received word he was still not cleared for arrival at the destination...Atlanta. Talk about hot!! The flight attendant was walking up and down the aisle offering cloths that were soaking in ice water for the passengers to wipe their faces or wrap around their necks. It was that bad.
We were given the option to all depart the aircraft again but elected to stay. Shortly thereafter the pilots were given clearance. I won't ever forget that one but the airline and attendant could not have been nicer to us under the circumstance.
Anonymous on 07/13/2011:
I think the 5 hours was a bit of embellishment. OOperating in the US airlines are subject to very heavy fines with delays exceeding 3 hours on board an aircraft. Further, the APU had to be running, they just don't carry that much spare fuel to be letting it run that long. I imagine they shut some a/c packs down and it was uncomfortable but sadly this is what the industry has de-evolved into with commodity pricing. Finally, Alitalia = Coke products.

Uncaring and Insensitive Customer Service
Posted by
travel fellow
I was asked by an 86-year-old neighbor who speaks very limited English to help purchase two tickets online so he could visit ailing relatives. He is retired and poor, and we tried to save money by switching dates around. When we bought the tickets, we found we had changed a 2-week trip to 1-week. I tried calling customer service twice, and their corporate office in NYC once, but they wouldn't waive the $440 change fees or let me speak to a supervisor. I'm unemployed, and I had to pay the fee myself.
They were rude, uncaring and insensitive, and I recommend people avoid flying on an airline that treats its customers this way.

Was the $440 the difference in the fare to change the dates of the flight? If so, there really isn't much the airlines can do about it. If they have a penalty fee, though, they will usually waive it if you make the booking error the same day. Also, if you made the reservation through a third party (Expedia, Travelocity, etc.) airlines may sometimes refer you back to that same party. I do have to agree, though. there was no reason for them to be rude to you. hopefully this helps.
Anonymous on 10/24/2007:
travel fellow, if this was a $440 change fees from Alitalia Airlines then you are 100% right in complaining that is one heck of a rip-off. I have never paid more than $100 to change a flight but they do try to do it now a day. Delta tried to charge me $760.00 to change a flight because it was close to a holiday (they said) and when I raised he11 they went down to $100.
But I have to agree with chris513 also.
travel fellow on 10/24/2007:
There was no difference in fare, just additional charges they wouldn't negotiate or waive. I've never been treated like this before, and I recommend people avoid Alitalia, a company who clearly has no regard or respect for its customers.
Ben There on 10/24/2007:
Was the two week stay more expensive to begin with? Alitalia only charges a $200 date change fee per ticket.
travel fellow on 10/25/2007:
The fare for the 2 week stay was exactly the same as the 1 week stay. The charge was $220 per ticket, or $440 total, and they refused to negotiate or waive the fees. Most unreasonable--
Ben There on 10/25/2007:
OK, it was 2 tickets. Airlines rarely waive fees anymore - did you call the very same day you purchased the tickets?
travel fellow on 10/25/2007:
I called within 24 hours, still no dice--

Luggage Stolen or "lost"!!!
Posted by
OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS -- My daughter flew with several other students to Italy and Greece and 10 of the students and chaperones "LOST" their luggage through this airline and they refuse to return it.
She traveled on June 13 and this is now July 25 and she still hasn't received her luggage. He have filed claims, contacted our congressman and the American embassy in Italy, still no luggage.
AND.....do not contact their corporate offices, no one answers the phone!!! If you call Italy direct and it happens to be the end of someones shift , THEY HANG UP ON YOU!!!
This is the worse airline ever. There was a website www.alitaliasucks.com, but I see they got that off the internet.....TO MUCH PRESSURE!!!!!

Why are people surprised when their luggage is lost through an airline? It happens all the time...and thought I believe they should have some kind of better system to help prevent or at least limit luggage lost, complaining doesn't seem to help much. EXPECT your luggage to be lost when you travel, and if it isn't...THEN be happily surprised...and if it is lost, well no big disappointment because you expected it to happen. I don't agree with airline selling the lost items, once they are found and the insurance money is given to the traveller. If the insurance is paid, then the luggage is found, then I think they should give the customer the opportunity to return the money collected and retrieve their lost items.
GRANNYLKM on 07/25/2007:
Try calling 800-223-5230, and press *.
Hope this helps.
familytravel on 07/25/2007:
I know it's frustrating, but this kind of stuff happens everywhere. It happens on any airline and at any time. The best thing you can do it to continue to check the status of the luggage and try to contact them. After a while, if you still don't get your luggage back, it will be considered lost. At that point, you should be entitled to compensation from the airline...after you fill out the lost luggage paperwork.
Jambra on 08/04/2007:
I travel a lot, and I have some advice for you; When the ticket agent prints out your luggage tag with the destination, ask to see it. I do, and at least ten times I've discovered that the information was wrong. The embarrassed agent will reprint the tag with the correct destination, and if you're lucky, you might get an upgrade (or another perk).

Ok, I've taken the title of this blog from someone else's post but I agree with the sentiments it puts out.
Recently Twitter have made a "Small Settings Change" to the way twitter works.
This "Small Settings Change" mentioned on the twitter blog isn't optional, its been forced down your throat and you have to swallow the fundemental changes they have made to the way twitter functions by removing the partial discussions aka replies between people, you can still see mentions IE @usernames in the middle of text, but following random people your friends know through reading conversations and thus extending the social web seems to be a thing of the past.
While I may not know the technical reasons for the changes its already started a huge wave to move across the twitterverse, various Retweets (RTs) and hashtags (#fixreplies) are already in circulation to make the point of how they disagree with the new changes to the way twitter functions.
@Scotthepburn put it best methinks - "OMG! I'm in a Bar and can only hear conversations between people i know! Its so quiet! This place is lame...I'm leaving."
This fundementally prevents people taking part in conversations that spark their interest between their friends and "new" friends they could find through further conversations. Maybe its just me but I don't like what they are doing
Anywhoo, I've got an exam tomorrow to finish preparing for, catch you all later
This Was written by a friend of mine and is a group on Facebook -
You'd assume that University Unions are run by students... you'd be
wrong, under changes proposed and being voted on Wednesday and
Thursday, students lose the right to democracy and the powers they
currently hold for no good good reason. This is not due to changes in
the law:
The Charities Commmission has informed us that there are no major changes to the law regarding Swansea Union's Constitution since 2002. (November/December 2007).
The University is not happy with the changes to the Constitution - they have not been conveyed properly and the changes are shrouded under a mist of deciet.
The major change that is moving into effect is one where the students - the heart of the Union - can no longer control what is happens.
I highly expect a Sabb to appear on the wall to declare there is not a problem with the new Constitution - with no explanation of the word 'Veto'
Combining poorly advertised Sabbatical Elections, and merging an even POORER campaign to 'inform' the Union of the changes to the Constitution and that that this the Consittution is shoved under in such a way you instinctively vote 'yes'.
Naturally though... the constant reminders of the very vital '1 Day Sale of SUMMER BALL TICKETS! LOL!' - which... you guessed coincides with the Constitution and Sabbatical Elections on Wednesday... suggests where the true motives may lie.
How does this effect you?
Whether you are a student at Swansea or not, the changes here will affect you. What occurs at one University can easily set a precedent for the next, domino theory...
If we the Students cant retain our right to democracy than lord help our country.
Summary of the Changes:
1. Executive Decision Making Power drops to the elected Sabbatical officers and 3 'independent Co-opted Trustees' - a 1/3rd of those involved are not invovled with the Union at all... combined these two groups are now refered to as 'Trustees'
2. Audit Committee can be chaired by 3 Trustee members - essentially the Trustees are checking AND validating their own Audit... *Cough*ENRON*Cough*
3. Trustees have the power to Veto without explanation anything that can be construed as negative financial impact.
4. Executive Committee (which includes the 6 Sabbs and the part-time executive committee members – but they can be overruled by the Trustees 'but only with good financial and legal decision…' *Hmmm*
5. Student General Meetings – drop to consultive bodies but would be able to send recommendations to the referenda or the Exec. However, they will have no power to make policy unless they get 3% of the Student Population to vote… that's 3-400 people at one SGM… *and the largest Lecture Theatre is 280 seats or so…* AND this can be VETOED without explanation beyond it being a negative financial impact… "for example campaign that may possibly cost £1 can be rejected on these grounds…"
This follows on from being able to freely advertise events at other bars other than Oceania… no consultation of the Union was taken… so much for the *Union*…
This follows in a year when:
1.SGMs have been suddenly changed at short notice – and announced at short notice
2. Motions have been overulled that allowed students to be ethical traders
3. The publicity of the Constitution has been one sided and a smear campaign has been conducted.
4. Internal Audit papers were not available when requested by parties until the AGM where they would be fully ratified, a watered down version was presented to the assembled students – students were confused into believing there would be a second chance to review the Audit Papers publically.
5. £30,000 of the ringfenced for Student Nurse's was spent to keep us afloat. This money was from the NHS to support student nurses and the SU has abused their and our trust.
If you are like me – disgusted by the culture of lies and deceit that has surrounded this process, the lack of consultation, the smear campaign, the move from an becoming an SU to effectively becoming a 'Pseudo-Union"
This is our first chance to stop this campaign in its tracks – and force a backtrack. Those accountable have lied to us – the Students and the University – they must be held accountable for these actions.
Whether you are a student at Swansea University or not… in a week that has seen Unions moving away from free expression in London *UCL* and during the debate about ID Cards... the loss of democracy where it should thrive should chill the hearts of all involved.

A dream is a dream but a flying dream is special….Flying in your dreams is among the best feelings you could ever experience…even in bed. Often times you wake up from one with your mind refreshed and feeling like a million bucks. For a few short minutes you are superman or a soaring eagle flying above it all! Dream researchers say 90% of flying dreams are lucid dreams, which means you are able to control dream settings. In other words you know you are dreaming, yet you're still in control!
What Does My Flying Mean:
The meaning of these dreams, like many life experiences depend on context. For example, flying free as a bird without a care in the world will mean something altogether different from being afraid to fly or having trouble getting into the air. Dream experts suggest keeping a dream journal, you know ,writing down details of your dreams as soon as you wake up from one.
Trouble Flying:
Dreams where you know somehow that you have the ability to fly but can't quite seem to get off the ground is a very frustrating type of dream. This probably suggests that someone or something is holding you back from taking the next step in life. In order to know what is holding you back from flying, try and remember who was with you in your dream. If you where alone and struggled to fly this implies that you are lacking confidence within yourself.
Scared of Flying:
Flying in a dream can either be exhilarating or a nightmare depending on the dream. Not being able to control your flight in a dream is rare but it does happen sometimes. Fear of flying might have to do with a lack of control in your life. The experts say dreams of this nature suggest you have trouble controlling the path of your life. No matter what you do there is some interference. You have to ask yourself what is causing me to be afraid to take control of my life, and how to get back on track. Another possibility with being afraid to fly is that you might be having trouble keeping up with the high goals you set. You may feel that you can crash at anytime. I know that feeling very well.
Direction of Flight:
Here's another interesting theory; they say It's important to know what direction you where going when you where flying high up in the clouds. Where you flying upwards, downwards or backwards? If you are flying upwards in your dream this suggests you are now on a new level of spiritually. If you where flying downwards we are trying to get more in tuned to our unconscious. If you are flying low to the ground it represents strength and determination in your life. If you are flying an airplane it means your not fully free to have fun but your almost there. Flying backwards suggests you want to relive the past and the good memories you experienced.
How To Analyze Your Flying Dream:
Just for fun, here are some questions you might want to ask yourself when you're trying to figure out what your dream meant. Your unconscious will not spell it out for you, this is a job for your conscious mind to figure out. Dream symbols are presented in a metaphoric fashion for you to decode. A dream dictionary will help you figure out what your dream symbols represents and the hidden meaning behind them. Here are some questions below that might help you figure out what your flying dream meant.
Was I flying alone
Did Anything stop me
Was I in control of my flight
What was the weather like
Where you scared
Was I going up or down
Easy flight or turbulent flight
How was the mood in your dream. Where you happy or sad.
What where you using in order to fly (Wings or rocket)
So what kind of flying dreams have you experienced? I have had the one where I will suddenly realize I'm flying high in the sky and begin to wake up. But somehow its a slow process and I get scared and find myself feeling for a light switch to turn on so I can fully wake up. I guess my experience hasn't been positive every time out.
To me the idea of keeping a dream journal is going a little too far. I just don't think its that important to remember details of every dream. My theory is if the dream is important enough you will remember it, sometimes very vividly. I still remember dreams I had as a child. It's shocking how real they still seem. I once dreamed I was having sex before I knew what sex even was. That was definitely one of the more pleasant ones!

ScriptSpot is a diverse online community of artists and developers who come together to find and share scripts that empower their creativity with 3ds Max or SketchUp. Our users come from all parts of the world and work in everything from visual effects to gaming, architecture, students or hobbyists.
Register for free and be part of the community!
"Batch change the bitmap parameters of all materials - selected objects' materials or material editor materials. Includes options for stripping out bitmap paths - batch path replacement - and filtering options.
Version History:
2.07 Changelog:
Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.
Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free! There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag. It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script. If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.
This is an update for an oldie but a goodie,
This is an oldie but a goody. Put simply, it is a script that will open 3ds Max material maps in photoshop. I use it in my quad menu. If photoshop isn't open, then it will open it for you. The previous version used a hard old school search for image maps used
in your materials, before opening them in photoshop. This version uses
the max class dependencies to get all bitmaps used in a material.
The script is also dockable and it has now a right click menu:
This MaxScript collecting all materials, maps and texture, it also allow to search materials, maps or textures by name. You can modify the texture path, also for multiple selections, and you can copy the selection to the material editor.
EmbedBMP is a scripting utility that translates bitmap data from an image file to string data, which can be added to Maxscript source and loaded as bitmaps by the provided decoder function block.
Some basic compression is applied to decrease the data size. The embedbmp logo for instance is imbedded as a 5kb string, from a 44kb bitmap. The maximum practical image size strongly depends on the compressibility and omittability of the image content.
The script "Bitmap List [ .NET ] - Version : Beta 1.0 " use dotNetClass ListView and Maxform.
The script for use change location bitmap and stuff in 3ds Max.
The script support 3ds Max 2009 - Higher.
FilepathFinder it is a power tool for working with asset files in 3ds Max. With FilepathFinder you can easy find, collect and sort asset files. Utility supports XRefs of all types and processes all XRefs scenes linked to current. Unlike all other such scripts, it really finds all resources (images, HDR-images, Proxy, IES-files, shaders).Also the FilePathFinder can help you quick find objects or materials and textures by asset links.
FilepathFinder PRO v3.12.68
This script was created in order to help artists with collecting and re-pathing bitmaps (textures) that are coming into the scene files from all over the places.
This tool will let you automatically re-name the bitmaps based on dynamic names as well as your defined static names. It will then copy all the bitmaps to a single directory of your choosing and automatically re-path the bitmaps in your scene, so that you don't have to manually do a thing.
Here's a quick video demonstrating how it works
This script can replace all bitmap texture pathes in selected matlib file. You select Matlib file,select directory you want to set, select the bitmap texture directory path you want to replace and thats all. This my first script.
BE CAREFULL. It does not make backups, but uses A LOT OF MEMORY, so if it crashes your matlib maybe damaged. Example: replacing All Evermotion ArchShaders Vol.1 + Vol.2 pathes (in one file for all maps) takes near 2,5GB! Any help and suggestions how to solve this will be accepted. This my first script:)
P.S. sorry for my english
Collects all the scene bitmaps and places them into a single directory, updating your scene to point to their new home.
Open a scene that contains a lot of bitmaps. Run the UI version of the script. Choose a Directory. Hit Do. All the bitmaps you choosed will be copied to the directory you specified, and now all the scene materials point to that directory.

There will always come that awkward time in your life as a supporter of bondage and BDSM when you will end up extremely attracted to another person who is actually a dominant, just like you are. Unfortunately, this spells disaster for most couples. Both of you wouldn't budge and it isn't as if you can just hop on bondagedating.com and find another partner in a few seconds who will hit all the same great nerves that the hot femdom is sparking right now. While there are a few good bondage sites out there that can really help you with a proper hookup, it still isn't the easiest task in the world to get along with another dominant, so there will be bumps along the way in making your relationship work. The first bump could be finding a site that can actually give you some tips. You need to stay clear of the scam sites, read the reviews here: tiemeupnow.com/sites/bondagedating/. Bondage dating with another dominant is not easy but if this is what you really attracted to then you have to work for it.
The Option of Trading Off
While it isn't entirely ideal, there is always the chance that you two can play a game of rock, paper, scissors, and trade off as to who is the submissive partner for that particular evening. This won't work for all couples, but let's assume that it will work for you and your new lady, who you've brought home from the bondage club down the street. She's decided that she's going to be on top tonight, and you're a little wary. Just keep in mind that this should work like any other BDSM relationship that you've had in the past. As the submissive for the night, you're the one really in control.
While it might go against your nature to be acting as a submissive, many dominants who give it a shot find that it's actually an amazing mental release that helps them feel better about life and more sound-minded in general after the fact. This kind of submission can also help them better understand their encounters with their own submissives in the future, and you might actually find this to be an exhilarating experience that you may even want to try again in the future. While good bondage sites will then try and label you a switch, that obviously isn't always the case. You might just find yourself into the act of bottoming to this one person, or in one particular scenario. Something else might not work for you, or you might never want to be submissive to another human being ever again. Whatever you decide, the decision to just switch it off might be a temporary way to make your relationship work, but just be aware that it might not always be a solution that will have a positive or fulfilling conclusion.
You Could Always Try Being Vanilla
This is a dreaded decision by many dominants who are into other dominants. While it might make your nose term up at first, being vanilla and not involving any of the kinky stuff that makes both of you dominants in the BDSM scene might make it a lot easier for the two of you to get it on and have a great round of sex. We're not saying that you have to lie on your backs and have sex like something out of the bible – no good bondage site would recommend that, and we certainly aren't going to recommend it either. We're just saying that the two of you can have "normal" sex and not worry about the connotations of being a dominant or submissive, and still have a great time while it's happening.
If the two of you decide to go this route, then you might have a great time trying out a number of fun, athletic sex positions in order to vent that alpha male inside of you, and the alpha female inside of her. She can try girl on top, or heck, if you're into it, she can try pegging you while you get off on that particular, new sensation. Whatever you decide to do, keeping the dominant and submissive connotation out of the equation might be what the two of you need to make your relationship work, and it can mean that the two of you actually have some fun, exciting sex that might surprise you with how much you end up enjoying it.
The Art of Polyamorous Relationships
Maybe the two of you are dominants and just can't make the switching off thing work, and vanilla sex just isn't enough between the two of you. The fact is, though, that the two of you don't want to break up. You want to stay with her, and she wants to stay with you…but something has to give, or both of you are just going to end up miserable and unhappy in your sex lives before you know it, and that is going to ruin your relationship at the drop of a hat.
The logical choice here is to have an open relationship, and bring someone else into the equation. The ideal choice, of course, is to bring in a submissive that is just fine with being in the middle of two dominant partners. It doesn't matter if they are male or female, though if you have a preference, the two of you should be able to talk about this and decide on the proper partner together. So long as they are submissive and willing to have two dominant partners, you will be able to make a triangle that works extremely well for all three of you sexually.
If you don't want to share one partner, then there is always the option of you both having a submissive on the side who is your go-to fix, so to speak, when you need to dominate in the bedroom and your lover just isn't going to let it happen. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this sort of open relationship so long as your partner agrees to it and is comfortable with it. The two of you might find yourselves happier than ever when you are able to healthily and safely vent your sexual needs with another person. It might make your relationship that much strong, and the two of you might end up even closer together when you have an outlet that isn't just a ball of frustration between the two of you.
In general, while it might seem daunting to try and form a romantic relationship with another dominant on the BDSM scene, it isn't an impossible thing in order to make work. It just does take some work and some finagling, and the two of you might end up clashing on more than one occasion. You might end up feeling as though you are not granted enough power in the relationship, and you might end up being stressed if the two of you cannot find a peaceful median somewhere along the line. That's why you should always know when to step back, consider your options, and figure out what is the healthiest situation for both you and her. A relationship between two dominants can be an extremely passionate, charged-up relationship, and that's why you should always exercise caution, and use common sense when dealing with any conflicts that the two of you end up having. Good luck, and have fun figuring out how to make this work!
The look of sun-highlighted hair is highly sought after. It impart a healthy glowand a sun kissed look to your whole face. The shimmering, light tendrils of hair must look natural and healthy to pull off the look successfully. While difficult to do at home, it isn't impossible, but if you have no cosmetology training or experience, it may be best to let a professional do it. Spa treatments are considerably more expensive but take the risk of looking like a striped tiger out of the equation.
Success starts before the purchase when you're giving yourself highlightsat home. Highlighting kits tell you the type and color of highlights the kit will leave, if your hair is the color the box designates to begin with. If you're looking at a box that says "caramel highlights" and "for brown hair", make sure you have brown hair. Black, very dark brown, red and blonde haircolorswith not end up with caramel highlights. Keep in mind it may take more than one application over several weeks to get the desired highlight color. A lot depends on where you buy the kit as well. There are some great drugstore brands but it's a better idea to go to a beauty supply store and talk with the sales girl about what you want to achieve. Beauty supply stores have a larger array of choices as well. Before making a final purchase, consider the length of your hair, the color it is and the color of highlights you want.
The next step to perfect at-home highlights is preparing your hair for the process. Highlights take best when applied to unwashed hair. Deep condition your hair four days prior to highlighting. Deep conditioning will help have your hair in the healthiest possible condition and able to successfully withstand the highlighting. Do not wash your hairtwo – three days prior to applying highlights. Clean hair is free from much of the natural oils that build up on the hair. Applying chemicals and bleach directly on clean hair can damage it.
An important step that many tend to skip is the strand test. The strand test consists of taking a small strand of hair in an inconspicuous spot and testing the highlighting solution. Begin by leaving the solution on for the recommended amount of time. If the desired effects are achieved and the highlight color is perfect, the time is set. If not, leave it on for a little longer or not quite as long, depending upon the desired effect. The strand test is arguably the most important part of highlighting at home. It can detour a disaster of epic proportions. Hair lightens in stages during the time it's processing. It passes through hues of red, orange and yellow before reaching platinum blonde.
One big tip all the stylistrecommend is to toss the cap. Even if the kit comes with a plastic cap with tiny holes in it, don't use it. The small, plastic spatula some kits provide is inadequate as well. Stylists recommend using a small toothbrush instead. Highlights are designed to look like the sun has bleached out the hair naturally. It is impossible to get natural highlights in by pulling out tiny strands of hair through these holes. It is impossible to judge the area the hair is coming from and hard to get the same amount of hair each time.
Begin highlighting by parting the hair in the way it is normally worn, letting it fall naturally to decipher which pieces frame the face. Starting approximately one centimeter from the scalp, brush on the highlighting solution in one inch sections. Strands in the back and under-layers should be half inch or less. Strands should also dwindle to half an inch near the middle of the head.

GPS apps for the iPhone are life savers. There are many such apps in the AppStore. However, not all of them have what it takes to serve you right. Some free apps are even better than some high cost ones. Use this guide to unearth the 3 best GPS apps you can use on the iPhone:
Google Maps
This free app comes preinstalled on the iPhone. Considering the resources and power that Google has, it comes as no wonder that they have created such an amazing GPS app. If you are more familiar with overhead maps, then this is the easiest app to use. This map helps you see your position relative to the destination. It also gives you directions for walking, driving and using public transportation. You can also choose between street view and map view depending on what you prefer.
Priced at $ 49.99, this downloadable app is among the biggest names in the GPS world. Most other GPS apps are based on the features that TomTom brought into the market. You can enjoy such features as 3-D maps, voice guided navigation assistance and Lane Assistance. The latter uses images to help you choose the lanes to follow when you get to a freeway transition.
TomTom has outdone the rest using this reliable and sturdy GPS app. It provides a model that other brands are yet to challenge. Although, the price is quite steep, this is one solid buy.
Motion X Drive
This GPS app sells at $ 0.99. It is one of the most downloadable apps available. The price tag is quite lenient compared to the others. Once you open it, a beautiful and simple interface will greet your eyes. The wheel displays various search options and comes with easily recognizable icons that you can use for navigational purposes.
Another cool feature you won't find in other GPS apps is the amazing Wikipedia button. This button gives you directions to, a summary of and links to articles about interesting locations near you. Although this button isn't helpful when you get lost, it is great for increasing your knowledge about the areas around you.
The app also comes with feature for routing the traffic live. MotionX went into a partnership with INRIX to get the data about traffic incident info and traffic flows. The setting for this feature is 'off' by default. Therefore, you need to enable it from the settings so that you can use it.
Simple interface and comprehensive wiki links, easy to search destinations, fast switching between text direction summary and maps all work hand in hand to make this one of the best 3 GPS app for your iPhone.
Overall, each of the apps listed here can get you to your destination in decent time, so long as you don't miss any step. When you get lost, TomTom is the best app to use because it will reroute you efficiently and quickly without you having to hustle with menus and pressing buttons. Still, the above GPS apps are designed for the practical user meaning you shouldn't have a hard time downloading one and installing it into your iPhone.
Jumping back into the dating game can be a struggle for a recently divorced man. From the married life to single life can be a difficult transition. Your life as a single man 5-10 years ago may have been very different when compared to your life as a single man in your 40s or 50s. Not only did the dating scene change but after the divorce, you now come with extra baggage and that may include kids, money issues and exes.
When you've been married for a long time, you may have neglected yourself. You no longer hangout with your old buddies. You've forgotten your hobbies or sports. You're not in great shape anymore. After the divorce, it's time you evaluate yourself and reconnect with the "old" you. Perhaps, this will be the time for you to see your old friends and make yourself feel good.
Once you've healed, you will be ready to start a new relationship again. If you're feeling confident and ready to date again after the divorce, then here are helpful tips for divorced men.
1. Meeting women can be stressful so start with internet dating first. Online dating is simple and convenient. Bars and clubs may be an awkward and stressful environment for a recently divorced man. Many people join online dating and you can easily browse through the different profiles of potential dates. Once you've exchanged emails and have become familiar with each other, you can then decide to "close" the deal and meet in person.
2. Don't talk about your ex-wife and your failed marriage. Divorce can leave men resentful towards their ex-wives. However women find complaining men unattractive. Don't talk about why the marriage failed. Establish a connection with your date by talking about her interest and hobbies. Talk about positive things and how you are ready to begin a close relationship again.
3. Dating is not a therapy. Divorce has its ups and downs. You'll feel tired, guilty, embarrassed and depressed about the break-up. When you're dating, don't use your date as your therapist. Women hate men who are too negative and they may not like to date you if you have an angry and sad attitude. Women like men who are optimistic, strong and fun. Rather than talking about your problems, you can ask about things that matter to her. If your day is not going great, then talk to a friend or learn to de-stress. Be positive when you're on a date.
You can use 3 mental exercises to zone in on what you want to do. You should do mental toughness exercisesprior to working out or taking on any other difficult task. This will help you maximize your output, especially when you want to work out.
Competitive athletes learn how to zone in using these mental exercises so that they can set themselves apart from the rest of the competition. You can now rely on the same strategies used by athletes to accentuate your mental toughness. This will show you how to zone in so that you can heighten all the benefits of working out on a daily basis.
Following below are the three mental exercises you need to do on a daily basis to get into the zone:
Positive Affirmations before Exercise
Positive thoughts are great for increasing energy levels. This is something you might have noticed in your daily dealings. Whenever you feel negative or sad, you will often be less motivated and have less strength to start your day and get through it.
In the same way, when you tell yourself that you are not as flexible and strong as others are or that you are not in good shape, you will rob yourself of the necessary strength to keep up with your goals. On the other hand, forcing positive thoughts into your mind will create excitement and enthusiasm.
Therefore, you need to start thinking about your unique abilities and skills. If you have strong legs, use them to bike up that steep hill. On the other hand, if your cardiovascular shape is top notch, use it to endure advanced aerobics classes. List down your positive traits that relate to the task you wish to zone in on and think about them before you start out.
Visualize Success
The other strategy for mental exercises that you can use, revolves around visualizing success even before you start out. This principle can be applied to all sectors of life. For instance, if you plan on swimming 10 laps, just close your eyes and think about doing this. Picture yourself going through what you need to accomplish and achieving the ultimate goal.
Think Positive
There are many other mental exercises out there. However, none of them will work out if you have negative thoughts in your head. You need to replace these with more positive thoughts and affirmations.
It is challenging to focus on failures and weaknesses. If you start to run and notice that your ankles are hurting, chances are high that you will start running altogether. We all have a natural tendency to focus on failure. However, with the right mental exercises, you will be able to toughen up yourself so that you learn how to avoid negative thoughts consciously. This will ensure that you achieve more in life and in your exercise regime.
The next chance you get to do something perfectly, try rewarding yourself with more positive thoughts. You will notice that the positive thoughts will improve your performance. They will also help you zone in, into what you really want to accomplish. Overall, these 3 mental exercises to zone in will go a long way in helping you accomplish your goals.
The best companies to invest in today depends on their management and profit generation. You have to determine how they move and withstand the stock market's rollercoaster ride to keep your investment in good shape. Investing is not easy on the heart. Many people find it so hard to put their money in one stock. But, knowing the cards on investing makes your step steady and more founded.
Characteristics of a good company
If you are a newbie in investing, you have to keep your eyes open for the trend of stock market and the characteristics of the company you want to invest in. Here are some pointers on what to look for:
1. Know what you want. The frustration level of one person depends on his own personality. Are you a conservative investor that allows no risks? Or are you a liberated investor who likes challenges and action in the stock market?
2. Volatility in the stock market. Exchange rates and movements in the stock market affect the companies. To know how volatile they are, you have to check their beta coefficient. This is described as a measurement of the stock risks in the market. An average risk is identified as 1. Lower than 1 beta coefficient means the risk is low. Greater than 1 means the risk is very volatile.
3. Price to earnings ratio. If you are choosing between companies under the same industry, you have to look for the (P/E) or the Price to Earnings ratio. When it is low, the company has low value. Otherwise, it enjoys good standing.
4. Foundation. If you already picked a company, know the foundation, goals and achievements. This will add up to the feeling that you are really part of the company.
5. Movement. Familiarize yourself about the movement of the stock market. Ask stock market experts about investing.

If it was possible to increase the number of hours in a day, then most of us would have done exactly that. This is because we always have a lot of work to do each day, but the number of hours per day is ever constant – 24 hours. Now, since we have no powers to alter the number of hours, how can we beat the deadlines, considering the fact that more and more work will continue to come in our direction each and every day? The answer is simple, we need to employ certain time management techniques that will allow us to stay focused and organized. If only we can do that, then we are bound to beat all the deadlines no matter what circumstances come our way.
Which is the best approach to use in time management? There are countless, time management tips that can enable us to accomplish what we want. Three best ways to manage the time are:
1. Organize in advance the day's work
This is the first step that needs to be addressed in order to succeed in time management. A typical approach to plan your day's work is to take, say 20 minutes, of your time in the evening to plan the next day's activities. This merely means that you need to come up with things -to-do list of the things you need to accomplish in the next day. This will enable you to stay focused on the day's work. One major mistake that should be avoided at all costs is being unrealistic. Surely, how can you handle up to 100 tasks in a day? Your things-to-do-list should comprise reasonable items that can easily be executed in a single day. Exaggerating will only contribute to stress and reduced productivity.
2. Avoid all distractions
Stick to your to-do-list. You need to focus your attention on what you had planned for the day. Anything that comes in between should be avoided since they will not only "eat" your time away, it will also reduce the chances of attaining the goals. Turn off all items, e.g. the email, the phones, that may tempt you to focus elsewhere. Your emphasis should be 'do the right things' Spend time on urgent matters.
3. Use your time efficiently
Even if you plan well for your work yet you have no ability to use the time efficiently, then nothing much will be accomplished. You need to maximize the usage of your time while at the same time not compromise the quality of your work. When you sit down or walk, ensure that you get the best out of your sacrifice. It is not enough to be just aware of what to do. If quality work is delivered within the stipulated time, less time will be wasted in trying to fix errors that were overlooked.
In conclusion, even though the three time management tips seem simple; the truth is that they are not as simple as most of us tend to think. They demand courage and determination. However, if everything is taken care of, then there is nothing to worry about since every task will be accomplished.

Watch the video now of Day Six on KITEWORLD TV
Words - Damien Leroy
The plan was to start a port tack 250m course at 1430 hrs. However the wind was not cooperating. It was almost exactly 90 degrees to the shore and although the pressure was good it was not the direction we wanted to see. We set both a starboard tack course as well as a port tack course to allow the riders to see what the speeds were. Initially the port tack course was faster than the starboard tack. We postponed the start sequence, reset the course that was much smoother and within 7 minutes were back in sequence.
Immediately we could see the difference. The competitor's speeds jumped from 34 knots to 42 knots.
We ran a 60 min heat over a 250m Port tack course. The event leader Rob Douglas came out of the gates swinging, full power with his over powered 16m Cabrinha kite, before he made it 100 yards down the course a 25 knot gust put the World Record Holder down. All riders where caught on big kites as a big squall pushed through the race course..
We rolled into heat two 3 minutes after completing heat 10 as the sun was setting and conditions continued to deteriorate. Riders dug deep and pushed the limits of speed on the less than optimal course of 100 degree angle and challenging conditions. I long day of racing..this is speed sailing..

Title: Leaves nothing to the imagination
Date: Oct 04, 2012
The sizing was fine and the outfit itself was of decent quality, but the one thing I can think to warn people about is that the fabric is very light weight, meaning the bottom area leaves very little to the imagination. To put another way, it's very obvious my husband is a man wearing this outfit. I have no idea how we're going to 'hide' that but I guess we'll need to figure it out.

Lawrence O'Donnell Interviews Tammy Aaberg, Mother of Bullied Teen Who Took His Own Life
On Wednesday night, Lawrence O'Donnell used his "Bully Pulpit" to interview Tammy Aaberg, mother of Justin Aaberg, one of countless teens tragically caught up in the bullying epidemic.
