This is one of my favorite bread recipes. It is the perfect accompaniment to a pasta or steak dinner. I am warning you - this bread is highly addictive. It is way too easy to just pull a bite off and pop it inot your mouth. You can't eat just one piece. We can almost eat it all between just the two of us.
The original recipe came from my long-time "Pampered Chef Lady", Mary. I have changed the recipe over the years. I cut the butter down and added some parmesan cheese. I really love how quick and simple this is. I changed the spices up this time and used the Carrabba's Bread Dip seasoning instead of just Italian seasoning. It was great!
Garlic Parmesan Skillet Bread
(Printable Recipe)
1 can flaky buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 tsp Italian seasoning or Carrabba's bread dip seasoning
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
8" saute pan
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in saute pan. Add garlic, parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cut biscuits into quarters and toss in saute pan. Place whole pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and slide onto platter for serving.

Medical marijuana bill fails, Common Core bypassed as legislature adjourns; gun bill passes
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) -- A bill allowing sick patients to legally take a marijuana derivative to ease their symptoms failed Thursday in the final hours of Georgia's legislative session, stalling amid a dispute between House and Senate lawmakers.
By law, the General Assembly meets just 40 working days annually. Any bills not approved by midnight Thursday do not become law. That fate awaited the so-called medical marijuana initiative as legislators made last-day maneuvers in an election-year session that was otherwise generally tame.
Proponents pushed a program that would allow people suffering from the side effects of cancer treatment, glaucoma and some seizure disorders to take oil derived from cannabis in the hope it might help their conditions.
Few lawmakers opposed the idea on principle, but senators used it as a last-minute bargaining chip. Sen. Renee Unterman, R-Buford, attached the legislation to a separate proposal that would require insurance companies to cover behavioral therapy for Georgia children 6 and under who have been diagnosed with autism.
Republican House leaders balked at the insurance requirement because they are concerned it will raise costs for employers and workers. Unterman said she expected the differences to be worked out in a compromise committee of senators and representatives. It never happened.
Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, chided the Senate for not "bringing relief to hundreds of Georgia families."
In the final hours, lawmakers passed a bill expanding the places where people with a license to carry a weapon can bring their guns. Under the plan, houses of worship will get to decide whether to allow firearms inside their sanctuaries.
Residents will get to vote on whether to cap the state's top marginal income tax rate at 6 percent under a resolution approved Thursday.
Lawmakers also voted to allow the government to drug test people who seek or get government assistance to buy food. Those tests could be administered if a state official has a "reasonable suspicion" that a person is using drugs.
Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville, said most residents would find the testing requirement reasonable. "They get drug tested when they go to work. They get drug tested if they are on the police force," he said. "They are drug tested if they are on the Georgia National Guard. This just says if you're getting ... benefits, we want to know if you're clean or not."
Other Republicans countered that Georgia will wind up in court. "I do not see how a state bureaucrat, not a law enforcement officer, is supposed to determine what the phrase `reasonable suspicion' means," said Sen. Joshua McKoon, R-Columbus.
Republican leaders appeared to settle a contentious internal GOP debate, bypassing a push from some conservatives to block Georgia from implementing education standards called Common Core. The curriculum guidelines were developed by education leaders and governors - including then-Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue - from both parties. The business lobby backs the standards, while some archconservatives blast them as a takeover of local schools.
Meanwhile, a two-year struggle over changes to metropolitan Atlanta's transit system came to a close. The major sticking point was whether to restructure the governing board. House Republicans were successful in shifting appointment power to the governor and mayors of Atlanta suburbs.
Lawmakers in both chambers agreed generally on relaxing rules that force MARTA to spend half of its sales tax revenues on capital improvements and half on operations. MARTA officials have sought that financial flexibility.
The two chambers also agreed not to require privatization of any MARTA operations. House Transportation Chairman Mike Jacobs, R-Brookhaven, said MARTA's new administration has launched several such initiatives on its own.
The last day was devoid of visible financial wrangling, since lawmakers earlier this week approved a $42.4 billion operating budget for state government in fiscal 2015. An upswing in state tax collections allowed Gov. Nathan Deal and lawmakers to substantially increase funding for schools and other government programs after several years of lean budgets.
Deal noted the boon during a brief visit to the House floor Thursday, congratulating members - and indirectly making a re-election pitch for himself - for "the largest single increase (for schools) in seven years." That includes hundreds of millions of dollars for classroom operations, employee insurance and construction. The Republican governor didn't mention the campaign specifically, but his likely Democratic opponent, state Sen. Jason Carter, has accused him of shortchanging Georgia's education system.
Republicans, meanwhile, used the session to trumpet their opposition to President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. They approved one bill that ensures only the Assembly has the authority to expand the Medicaid government insurance program. Under a U.S. Supreme Court interpretation of the Affordable Care Act, states choose whether to extend Medicaid coverage to working households who make too much money to qualify now but not enough to afford private insurance.
Georgia Republicans oppose Medicaid expansion, and some of them feared that a board of the governor's appointees could broaden Medicaid without legislative approval. The panel in question controls some state health care policy, including taxes on Georgia hospitals that help finance Medicaid.
Separately, lawmakers approved restrictions on state offices helping citizens use another aspect of the Affordable Care Act: the online insurance exchanges where some middle-income Americans can buy private insurance policies.

Just what I was looking for. This tape is excellent for tying young apple branches to shape an apple tree in an acceptable form.
I keep it around for all sorts of things. . tying up plants is one. . However, it's glue sticky, . .not velcro.
I use this for everything; yes, even for vine tying! Works great on set traps where your snare has to be set 'just right' to catch the critter in the middle of the trail. Wish they made a 1/4" version.

ALEXANDRIA, Va.,
August 15, 1997
Bankruptcy filings across the country continued to climb during the second quarter of 1997,
reaching 367,168 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, according to figures released
today by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. This is the sixth successive quarter filings
have increased, jumping nearly 10 percent over the first quarter of 1997 and by 23.6 percent as compared with the second quarter of 1996.
Continuing to drive the surge, non-business filings again reached an all-time high at 353,177,
comprising 96.2 percent of all filings. The total number of bankruptcy filings for the first six
months of 1997, which stood at 702,241, is greater than total filings for all of calendar year 1989
(679,461). Consumer filings in 1989 represented just 90.7 percent of all filings.
Business filings for the second quarter of 1997 increased by 1.2 percent over the first quarter,
standing at 13,991, but held steady with the second quarter of 1996, which saw 13,992 businesses
file for bankruptcy.
"The dramatic growth in consumer filings over the past two years is reflective of both the
economy and the credit culture in this country," noted Samuel J. Gerdano, Executive
Director of the American Bankruptcy
Institute. "Individuals during an apparently strong economy are prone to spend slightly
beyond their means, and ultimately find themselves unable to cover their increasingly unwieldy
Consumer filings have jumped 60 percent from the third quarter of 1995 to the second
quarter of 1997, increasing by more than 130,000.
During the second quarter, Chapter 7 filings represented more than 70 percent of all non-business filings; the 255,696 chapter 7 petitions for the period represented a 27.4 percent increase
over the second quarter of 1996. Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code affords an individual debtor a
"fresh start," as his or her unsecured debt is discharged and the individual debtor is allowed to
retain some exempt property, while the remaining assets are sold and distributed to secured
Comparing the 12-month period ended June 30, 1997, with the 12 months ended June 30,
1996, bankruptcy filings increased by more than 10 percent in each of the 94 judicial districts of
the country except the Southern District of Alabama and the District of the Northern Mariana
Islands. Comparing the second quarter of 1997 with the second quarter of 1996, the greatest
increase (77.2 percent) occurred in the District of Massachusetts, where filings rocketed from
4,621 during the three months ended June 30, 1996, to 8,190 during the same period in 1997,
with the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia close behind (at 67.3 percent and 56.9
percent, respectively) .
The Central District of California continues to see the greatest number of filings, reporting
31,121 for the second quarter of 1997. Three other districts registered more than 10,000 filings
during this period: the Northern District of Illinois, the Middle District of Florida, and the District
of New Jersey.

Loved this hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Good Business Hotelfrom Sketchdnky
Ummmmmm...okay...I guess?from RueStPeter718
Check in was not overly friendly or attentive. Not what I've come to expect as an Hhonors upper tier member, or as a guest of any hotel, frankly. Arrived around 12:30 on a Friday and was told by the young lady (J) that, nope, nothing ready. It may have well been the case, but it was the 'Too bad, so sad, see ya', wouldn't wanna be ya' attitude that was so out of character for Hilton properties. No 'Can Do' attitude here as Doubletree professes. No biggie; we simply left and came back a couple of hours later. Other staff we encountered seemed friendly.
While they've tried to update, I had a general 'ick' feeling when I was in the room. Maybe it was just more of a 'blah' feeling--I can't quite put my finger on it. Housekeeping seemed to have done a fine job in the room. But the fridge was positively archaic, as were the bi-fold style closet doors which separated the bedroom from the LR area. The big stain on the BR ceiling from the blowing (or the intake?) of the AC was more than obvious, and things like this are easy to take care of. Oh, yeah--the chocolate or BBQ sauce smeared throughout the in-room dining menu prompted us to head out for dinner instead. At least I'm praying it was chocolate or BBQ sauce...
Having said all of this, the view was indeed beautiful, and the pool area was very relaxing with above par pool towels available and a fabulous ocean breeze. Basically, the beach minus the sand. As a gal who grew up in FL, I can live without the sand! This alone MIGHT make me tolerate the other things if I were given an offer I couldn't refuse. We paid $99 for the night with a AAA discount. I wouldn't pay anything higher, and suspect I'd have to find an even better deal to return.
Had a Wonderful Stayfrom redshoetraveler
STAY AWAY FROM THE ELEVATORSfrom mkreed
Very nice stayfrom Barneslover
We usually stay in 4 or 5 star hotels, and seeing as this was a 3 star hotel we weren't expecting much. However, we really enjoyed our short stay. Parking was a breeze, check-in was quick and efficient and our room far suprassed our needs. The hotel is an all-suite facility and we had more than enough space to move around in. Everything was clean and we felt very comfortable in our surroundings. The bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept soundly.
The clock on the nightstand was illuminted in a way that made it very easy to tell the time, however, it wasn't an irritating neon glow that would normally bother me while trying to sleep away from home. The blinds really kept the morning sun out of our room. When we did open the blinds in the morning, we were treated to an excellent view of the water and the water fowl inhabiting the area. Although the pool was drained and going through a rehab, we didn't mind because the temperature was somewhere in the 40s.
We left our breakfast room service order on the door after we checked in (around 10:30 pm) and our breakfast arrived hot and tasty at the requested hour the following morning.
We enjoyed our very short stay and will certainly consider staying here again in the future. The room had ample space and is in a great location for anyone who is visiting the Tampa area. We hope to stay there in the future when we go to see the Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. :)
Loved the Doubletree Suitesfrom Trvlr37
Good hotel for the pricefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Nice hotelfrom MSTR
Terrible, tired old hotelfrom Charpature
My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for an overnight stay in Tampa to visit friends. The picture on the website looked promising, was reminiscent of the Contemporary in Disney. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
The room itself was....tremendously lacking. I was impressed with the size, and the seperate living/bedroom areas. However, the dining room table was absolutely filthy, with crumbs in the space between the top of the table and the sides and what looked like ketchup stains. The carpets looked very dirty. The TV in the bathroom (yes, there is a very small b/w tv by the toilet in the bathroom) did not receive picture - but also looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Not something you want to see in an appliance near a toilet. The gauzy lining of the drapes by the computer desk had what looked like to be a few old blood stains. I slept in the bed wondering when was the last time the mattress pad had been cleaned. The decor itself was very out-dated.
I am not a very picky person at all, but I was grossed out to even touch the remotes. The high speed internet service was $6.95/day. I would have been happier at the Holiday Inn Express.
Top Local Tips for Tampa
hit the beaches but tampa is not the place to do that - yhou have to drive to clearwater. if you're not there in summer, disney is 1 1/4 hour away (universal a bit further)
Know the neighborhoods of Tampa Tampa and the Clearwater Beach area have awesome things to do and great hotels but check out Trip Advisor before booking a hotel. You want to know the neighborhood you are picking to stay in. Traffic is also a consideration so make sure your location to stay matches your itinerary.
Try Bern's Bern's Steakhouse has a national reputation for excellence. Based on our experience, it is well-deserved. The service is outstanding and the wine selection is virtually without peer. The steak is prepared to perfection (Of course, there are other alternatives), and soup, salad, baked potato, onion rings and home-grown vegetables are included with your entree. The price is surprisingly reasonable. As first-time visitors, we were offered a tour of the kitchen and wine cellar, about five minutes. Make reservations for the dessert room. Many tasty options, though pricey. Again, knowledgeable servers and a funky atmosphere make the dessert area a good way to wrap up a memorable evening of fine dining.

Definitions for joint-stock company
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word joint-stock company
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
joint′-stock′ com`pany(n.)
an association of individuals in a business enterprise with transferable shares of stock, in which stockholders are liable for the debts of the business.
Category: Business
Origin of joint-stock company:
Princeton's WordNet
joint-stock company(noun)
a company (usually unincorporated) which has the capital of its members pooled in a common fund; transferable shares represent ownership interest; shareholders are legally liable for all debts of the company
joint-stock company(Noun)
A company with transferable ownership interests and limited shareholder liability.
joint-stock company(Noun)
A company with transferable ownership interests and unlimited shareholder liability.
Joint-stock company
A joint-stock company is a business entity which is owned by shareholders. Each shareholder owns the portion of the company in proportion to his or her ownership of the company's shares. This allows for the unequal ownership of a business with some shareholders owning a larger proportion of a company than others. Shareholders are able to transfer their shares to others without any effects to the continued existence of the company. In modern corporate law, the existence of a joint-stock company is often synonymous with incorporation and limited liability. And as a consequence joint-stock companies are commonly known as corporations or limited companies. Some jurisdictions still provide the possibility of registering joint-stock companies without limited liability. In the United Kingdom and other countries which have adopted their model of company law, these are known as unlimited companies. In the United States, they are known simply as joint-stock companies.

Peanut, almond butter recalled for salmonella riskAugust 19, 2014 @ 6:32 pm
NEW YORK (AP) -- A unit of Hain Celestial Group Inc. is recalling some peanut and almond butter because of possible salmonella contamination.
The company said Tuesday that there have been reports of four illnesses that may be related to the nut butters. They were sold under the brand names Arrowhead Mills peanut butters and MaraNatha almond butters and peanut butters. Also being recalled were some lots of private label almond butter from grocers Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Kroger and Safeway. A total of 45 production lots are affected.
They were sold in Canada, the Dominican Republic, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates as well as the U.S.
The Lake Success, New York, company said it learned of the contamination risk after routine FDA testing.
The Food and Drug Administration said it did not know how many jars of nut butters were recalled. The company would not comment.
Typical symptoms of salmonella infection are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. These symptoms generally develop within one to three days of exposure to the bacterium and may last for up to a week. While anyone can become ill from exposure to salmonella, health officials say the risk of infection is particularly high for children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
There have been several major salmonella outbreaks in recent years, including infected peanuts that sickened more than 700 people in 2008 and 2009 and Foster Farms chicken that is linked to a strain of salmonella that has made more than 500 people sick over the last year and a half.

Identity thieves and hackers appear to be coming at Windows users from all
fronts, most commonly with spam. They were particularly active during the third
quarter of 2008, when they did it eight times more frequently than in the previous
quarter, according to a report
released Monday by Sophos.
The study found that one out of every 416 e-mails in Q3 contained bogus or
malicious attachments. This is up significantly from the period between March
and June, which tallied just one such e-mail for every 3,333.
"For Apple Mac and Unix lovers, these major spam attacks just mean a clogged-up
inbox, not an infected operating system. But organized criminals are causing
havoc for Windows users in the hunt for cold, hard cash," said Graham Cluley,
senior technology consultant at Sophos, in an e-mail to Redmondmag.com.
It's hard to get a clear read on the number of successful attacks because enterprises
don't want to tip their hand and embarrassed users aren't exactly chomping at
the bit to report these occurrences. But the Sophos report can't simply be dismissed
as an aberration or a marketing tool for anti-virus software; a separate report,
also released Monday, appears to confirm the pattern of spam growth.
Enterprise gateway security firm Secure Computing Corp.'s Q3
2008 Internet Threats Report found that spam volumes returned to record
highs in the quarter with "fairly steady monthly increases throughout the
summer." Over 5,000 new zombies were created every hour, according to Secure
Computing's report. Among the most common attacks were the Agent-HNY Trojan,
which was responsible for more than 25 percent of all e-mail attachment malware
in the quarter.
The EncPk-CZ Trojan is another example of the type of spam that seeps into
inboxes (one such malicious virus came disguised as a Microsoft
security patch). The Sophos report stated that EncPK strains accounted for
12 percent of all the disclosed e-mail-borne bugs over the past three months.
As for Secure Computing's study, the company said the increase in the spam
it tracked was due to malicious e-mails with the subject line "Your bank
has failed," "Breaking News," "Delivery Status Notification"
or "Election scoop" -- with the latter invariably mentioning the name
"Obama." It turns out that 80 percent of election-related spam currently
bears the Democratic presidential nominee's name. Secure Computing's TrustedSource
Labs estimates the number of worldwide U.S. election-related spam e-mails at
approximately 100 million messages per day.
Meanwhile, Sophos' Cluley said that hackers count on end users to "click
without thinking, thus exposing themselves to hackers hell-bent on gaining access
to confidential information and raiding bank accounts."

Excerpt from San Francisco Mayor's Office press release:
San Francisco, CA-Mayor Edwin M. Lee today announced the creation of the Housing Trust Fund Working Group. The broad working group is assigned the task of designing a ballot measure that would create a permanent source of revenue to fund the creation of housing that is affordable to low income, moderate income and middle-class households in San Francisco. Mayor Lee will work with the Board of Supervisors and the community to develop a measure for the November 2012 Ballot.
The Mayor said, "If we can come together to tackle tough issues like pension reform, we can surely work together to create a permanent source of revenue to fund the production of housing in San Francisco at every level of the economic spectrum. Affordable and middle class housing are critical to the economic diversity and economic vitality of our City. With the elimination of affordable housing and with a nearly 50 percent decrease in federal affordable housing funds this year alone, we must innovate locally to ensure San Francisco remains a place that everyone can call home."
Mayor Lee set an initial target of generating $50 million in additional revenue to fund affordable housing for low income households as well as create incentives for market rate developers to produce workforce and middle class housing. This local revenue would leverage significant federal and state funding, as well as stimulate our local economy through the creation of construction and permanent jobs.
The working group assembled by Mayor Lee will consist of representatives from different sectors of the real estate industry, including affordable housing developers, market rate developers, realtors and small property owners.
The Mayor's Office of Housing Director Olson Lee said, "By working together, we can come up with the optimal solution that acknowledges that the goal of creating affordable and middle class housing, and the jobs that housing creates that is critical to San Francisco." Olson was tapped by Mayor Lee to lead the Housing Trust Fund Working Group.
The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, which will be eliminated on February 1st, has created over 12,000 units of affordable housing since its creation. This constitutes the single largest source of affordable housing in San Francisco. The Mayor's Office of Housing projects a 48% cut to federal HOME funds, which is one of the primary sources of federal affordable housing funding to San Francisco.
According to the press release, these cuts could decimate future affordable housing production in San Francisco, an industry that has proven to be a steady economic anchor during the Great Recession. After the economic downturn, affordable housing represented 42 percent of the new units produced in 2010. And affordable housing produces more than just units, it produces jobs. For every 100 units of affordable housing created, 117 construction jobs and 30 management, maintenance and service jobs are created.

Establishment of international offices to disseminate information useful in identifying, preventing, mitigating, or adapting to the possible effects of global change.
(b) ENERGY RESEARCH.--The President should direct the Secretary of State (in cooperation with the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Commerce, the United States Trade Representative, and other appropriate members of the Committee) to initiate discussions with other nations leading toward an international research protocol for cooperation on the development of energy technologies which have minimally adverse effects on the environment. Such discussions should include, but not be limited to, the following issues:
Creation of an international cooperative program to fund research related to energy efficiency, solar and other renewable energy sources, and passively safe and diversion-resistant nuclear reactors.
Creation of an international cooperative program to develop low cost energy technologies which are appropriate to the environmental, economic, and social needs of developing nations.
Exchange of information concerning environmentally safe energy technologies and practices, including those described in paragraphs (1) and (2).
Not more than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall, in consultation with the Committee and all relevant Federal agencies, establish an Office of Global Change Research Information. The purpose of the Office shall be to disseminate to foreign governments, businesses, and institutions, as well as the citizens of foreign countries, scientific research information available in the United States which would be useful in preventing, mitigating, or adapting to the effects of global change.
Such information shall include, but need not be limited to, results of scientific research and development on technologies useful for--
Reducing energy consumption through conservation and energy efficiency;
Promoting the use of solar and renewable energy sources which reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere;
Developing replacements for chlorofluorocarbons, halons, and other ozone-depleting substances which exhibit a significantly reduced potential for depleting stratospheric ozone;
Promoting the conservation of forest resources which help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere;
Assisting developing countries in ecological pest management practices and in the proper use of agricultural, and industrial chemicals; and
Promoting recycling and source reduction of pollutants in order to reduce the volume of waste which must be disposed of, thus decreasing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Secretary of Commerce shall conduct a study of the implications and potential consequences of growth and development on urban, suburban, and rural communities. Based upon the findings of the study, the Secretary shall produce a decision aid to assist State and local authorities in planning and managing urban, suburban, and rural growth and development while preserving community character.
The Secretary of Commerce shall consult with other appropriate Federal departments and agencies as necessary in carrying out this section.
The Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the Congress a report containing the decision aid produced under subsection (a) no later than January 30, 1992. The Secretary shall notify appropriate State and local authorities that such decision aid is available on request.

Do you ever have one of those days
Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like youre alternately torn between happiness and depression? I dont know, mebbe it's jsut me and my hormonal imbalances because I'm a loser, as according to chelsea, which is ok, since she's a loser too.Actually, I seem to have realized that I tend to root for hte loser more often than not in most contexts. I mean, I rooted for the panthers against the patriots for the super bowl, dean against everyone else for president, trotsky against stalin, what not, what not. I dont know why I seem to cheer for the underdog so much, except maybe I have this unbridled hope that someday, these underdogs, these losers can be able to finish on top, to own conventional betting wisdom and the pragmatic righteousness that some people seem to have. For those of you who dislike 7 dollar words (and i don't like them much either, but im sorta floating right now, so you get to take what i give) it means that i'm annoyed when people go about strutting around like theyre right (which they are_ and I'm wrong (which i am), because everything, societal conventions, logic, and reason all say that what they say is true. (OK i think i confused you more ... i reckon ill give an example later.) Say what you want about Dr. Schaack and TOK being the most useless class in the world (it comes a close second to comp sci), i think that in taking that, I have been less reluctant to defend these farfetched ideas that are not backed by anything but a pure happy hope. I hope there are those of you out there that arent afraid to believe in crazy, irrational, optimistic things over calculating, ruthless, and rational whatevers. It's just not a good way to live, dawgMy my my, how did i get drawn into a thing on philosophy .. oh yeah, the example. I was minorly annoyred at Jen today (and it really wasnt her fault, if she's reading this ... I was jsut feeling a lil snappish and she just happeend to be at hte right place at hte right time to illustrate my point here) during lunch. Me, wonchon and steve and steven were discussin the possibilities of the future, which imvolves wonchon and emily (who wants to be wild and crazy in princeton, btw, congrat her on her desire toget drunk, high, and laid in college .. i hope her mom doesnt read this stuff i write) operating on me and me suing them. Anyhow, I think i said something like, well, if you fuck me up, im gonna sue you like you won't believe. And then Jen turns around and was like dude, stan, dont cuss, theres a 5 month old kid over there (i didnt see the kid btw, just so you know) and i have a problem of talking way way way too loud, so i figure everyone heard it. But it made me annoyed, for the following reasons (and jen, again, i really really am not upset at you or anyhting, i was jsut annoyed then and im explaining why, please please please dont take offense)1. OK, it's not exactly hypocrisy, cuz jen didnt cuss in front of the lil kid, but it bothers me when people tell me not to do somethign that they do in other contexts, not barring absolute absolute exceptions to the rule. Jen cusses a bit, i have no problem with that, but I mean, if youre gonna cuss, its not honorable to tell other people not to cuss in any circumstance (ill make a few exceptions, such as disturbing than peace or something, that's fair)2. If you have a personal objection to cussing, I'm cool with that, ill watch my language around you (shirley and my parental units come ot mind). Here's the problem, I dont agree with deciding whether or not other people may be fit to hear my language. Even lil kids (who dont understand the concept of a cuss word anyway) will eventually be exposed to such filth (yes i know its a filthy habit but it helps me release repressed anger from other things) I supose this point can be summed up as, I will respect your wishes, but just as you wouldnt want me to outline your wishes, i dont think its fair that you outline someone else's wishes, whether or not they are competent. 3. If i have to take into consideration of the personal tastes of anyone and everyone around me (whether i can see them or not) before i open my mouth, I might as well not speak. To take into consideration the feelings of your immediate listeners is one thing, to have to take into account eavesdroppers and such is, to me, way too difficult. One of the principles of free speech is simply ... offensive speech. Maybe what you say may be offensive to me, I dont know. But in the end, to try to tell someone to stop cussing becuase someone else may be offended is to take away their right to speak up for themselves. I agree with jen, btw, I dont think i should have cussed in front of a lil kid, he has time to learn the other, more polite language of English, but i guess it was a bit of a righteous tone that bugged me, cuz well-meaning or not, it jsut smacks of a less extreme case of "I'm better than you because what i believe in is more right than what you believe in." THat just bugs me a bit, yknow? OK one of the reasons for my slight downer is cuz we finished the visit by durrenmatt today. I'll discuss the downerness of the play at a later date. For now, read this, comment please, and peace out.

Wall Street Journal
Jacob Gershman writes: "Assemblyman Vito Lopez has refused to resign over sexual harassment allegations, saying his fate should be decided by his constituents.

UW study: Babies practice speech long before they can talk
Babies try to mentally work out the mechanics of speech long before they say their first word, University of Washington researchers have discovered.
Seattle Times higher education reporter
Even when they are only 7 months old, babies are mentally working out the mechanics of how to form words with their mouths — well before they're able to utter their first recognizable syllable.
The latest discovery from the University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) underscores the importance of speaking to babies from the moment they are born, even though, in those early months, it may not look like it's having much effect, said Patricia Kuhl, co-director of I-LABS.
Kuhl has spent her career deciphering language development in babies, but the latest discovery was a surprise even to her. Her findings were published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Kuhl and her research team were able to plot the mental rehearsing that goes on in babies' brains at 7 months using a noninvasive brain scanning technique called magnetoencephalography, or MEG. The UW I-LABS Brain Imaging Center is the first in the world to focus on children, and the MEG machine, sized for infants, is the technology behind the labs' many discoveries.
As expected, when 7-month-old babies were listening to speech, the researchers saw brain activity light up in an auditory-processing area called the superior temporal gyrus. But researchers also saw activity in two other parts of the brain — Broca's area and the cerebellum — which are responsible for planning the motor movements required for producing speech.
In effect, babies are rehearsing how to speak, even if they aren't yet producing words. "This machinery (in the brain) is hooked up really early, amazingly early," Kuhl said.
And that should underscore anew the importance of speaking to babies. "It shows what babies are missing when you don't talk to them," she said. "They're responding in even bigger and better ways than we thought."
The research also reinforces a longstanding observation of scientists working at I-LABS: That babies get the most out of one-on-one human interactions — simple speech or games with their caregivers — which can't be replaced by high-tech toys or gizmos that promise to give babies a learning boost.
Kuhl described the findings as "a new way of looking at a variety of things we know about babies: They love listening to us talk, they love listening to exaggerated talk and they love social games."
Some of Kuhl's earlier research revealed that babies are born with the ability to distinguish between the phonetic sounds of all languages, but by eight months, their brains start to focus only on the sounds of the language being spoken at home.
The I-LABS researchers have also found that babies whose parents talked to them using "parentese," the singsong, exaggerated way of speaking to a young child, knew more than double the number of words by their second birthdays than babies whose parents did not use parentese as often.
Kuhl's next project: To look at what happens in the brain even earlier than seven months. She's especially interested in brain activity in 3-month-old babies, because at that age, babies begin to produce their first vowel-like sound — the cooing noise that precedes babbling.
She's also planning to examine how a baby's brain reacts to music. And she wants to investigate whether these recent discoveries may offer insights into how autism develops, and how to better work with infants on the autism spectrum.

The Good Wife Round Table: "Pants on Fire"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
The. Race. Is. On.
On Sunday's episode of The Good Wife, Peter Florrick accepted the challenge of Matthew Perry's Mike Kresteva, as these two will battle for Illinois Governor to close out season three.
With just one more episode to go until the finale, Round Table panelists Matt Richenthal, Carissa Pavlica and Christine Orlando have gathered below to breakdown "Pants on Fire." Won't you join them?
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt: When Peter told off his mom. Damn! I did not see that coming. With all due respect to Dr. Bruce Banner, Peter Florrick is the man I do not want to make angry.
Carissa: Alicia telling off Jackie in the first scene. It didn't make me feel sad in the slightest that the sorry old bitch went and had a stroke afterward.
Christine: It was hard to choose just one this time but I think I'll go with Alicia confronting Mike in his office and him lying through his teeth and acting like she was crazy. It's as though we've found the evil version of Chandler Bing. Mike is either a brilliant liar and manipulator or certifiably insane. Maybe a little of both.
Is Alicia making the right move in standing by Peter?
Matt: No. Because she's doing it for the wrong reason: emotion. Just like a woman, eh, guys?!?!? But seriously: I don't believe Alicia has thought through the repercussions of standing on that podium. What will her kids do/think/say?
Carissa: Now that she knows what this Mike character is like, I don't think she would have done anything else. That guy is crazy. I'm only surprised that she's standing beside Peter because Mike is going to lie his way through the campaign and Alicia had a hard enough time with the truth coming out in the last campaign. Mike's lies might be worse.
Christine: No, but it sure is interesting. He's that tie she just can't cut. They'll always have a bond and I definitely think she's attracted to the power. Plus, she's pissed at Mike and wants him to lose as much as she wants Peter to win.
Would you vote Peter Florrick for Illinois Governor?
Matt: You remember who served from 2003-2009, right? I'd say Peter would be a VAST improvement.
Carissa: Now that I've seen him and how fairly he treats cases from the State's Attorney's Office, yes. But without that insider's knowledge, not a chance in Hell. Too bad we can't have that information available to us as voters. Hidden cameras straight from the offices of those who are running. Game changer!
Christine: Given the competition... yes. I actually really like Peter, as long as I don't have to be married to him.
Did Eli choose the right campaign on which to work?
Matt: The DNC didn't really give him a choice, did it? Considering he was a mere consultant on one, and the other has aspirations that conceivably to the White House, yes, not much thought should have been given to this one.
Carissa: I thought it was unfair they made him choose. ESPECIALLY when I heard the phrase "we don't want a woman in the race." I hope Eli finds the best alternative to himself in the business and puts that person to work for his ex-wife, even though I find her thoroughly annoying.
Christine:Yes. He's worked hard to see Peter get this far so I think that was the only choice. As much as I'm not crazy about his ex I think he should have been honest with her about what was said. At least she'd know what she was up against within the party.
Give this week's case a grade.
Matt: A-. It took second position to the Kresteva shenanigans, but certainly kept my attention those times where it did become the focus. Always fun to see Kalinda solve a crime and my heart went out to Alicia's poor client.
Carissa: B. I enjoyed the case. Not just the case, but the after effects of caring more about the money the firms could get from a plea deal than the lives of the girls who, as it turned out, were innocent. That stuff could drive me to be a political activist... if I weren't so darned lazy.
Christine: A. I liked that it showed the politics behind all sides. How the DA's office simply didn't want to get sued and even though two of the girls were innocent, the lure of the money could have kept them in prison longer. That the law firms all wanted their pay day was no surprise.
Julianna Margulies and josh Charles has no chemistry as Will & Alicia, it makes her act and look like a low class person.
It is true , I miss Wil. It is time for him to come back at work as a lawyer. The dynamic is missing at the firm. I'll hope season wont'be only for Peter campaign
Very good show
I'am impress by Josh Charles, Chritine Baranki as partners at the firm.
they're so good together. Christine is brilliant.
My favorite couple Wil & Alicia .OMFG
Julianna Margulies and josh Charles has so much chemistry as Will & Alicia.
Good team ! Team Gardner
I love this show
The best episode of all 3 seasons the writers and producers are finnally getting the message of the people we want drama and suspence not SEX. Keep Will's Johnson buried and forgotten its not worth a plum nickle.
Mike Kreveska is the worst kind of lawyer that there is. He just doesn't care about truth or justice, he only wants power and the worst of all: nobody except Alicia knows that.
I really think Mike has evidence or something that reveal€s the sexual relationship between Will & Alicia .. I really hope he hasn't .. But he could have something that could destroy Alicia's reputation .. Pffff, My favorite scene must be the one with Kalinda reading the note Cary left her haha, smartass! This episode was GOOD! Definitely worth an A! It's very unfortunate that this season almost ends .. we'll have to wait for a long time AGAIN for new episodes .. :-( Anyway, I still hope Alicia & Will get back together, I didn't like the drugaddict or was it alcoholaddict? Love, Sisi - The Netherlands
Very good episode. A- One of the best of the season. I did not see the last scene coming. Good for the writers. If anything, at least Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth look good together, just like Alan Cumming and Parker Posey. Rooting for both couples. But I only see tears in everybody's future.
1. Eli and his ex.. 2. No! Agree with Matt, "What will her kids do/think/say?" 3. No. 4. Yes. You need The DNC to through a victory party. 5. C My favorite show last year has now dropped out of my top ten.
The next two episodes better be just as incredible as this one was. If they are, there will be a lot to talk about over the summer!

- Xelon2 years, 8 months ago #5Show comment tools ReplyHeat from me, superb buy, forget the 3D just the fact its LED and smart @ 46" and with 5y warranty. Plus theres a code gor free delivery on the same page.
- noiren2 years, 8 months ago #6Show comment tools ReplyBought the 40" version a while ago when it was £399 and I was a bit disappointed, it is very average as a TV with few image options. Does not come with glasses, which cost about £60 per pair, you can get universal 3D glasses from amazon for about £30 but the 3D was absolute s***t. Tried several 3D games and blue rays on my PS3 and although the 3D works, you can barely tell the difference between that and 2D and your wondering why you're wearing the glasses in the first place. Not sure if it's the unofficial glasses I got, since the reviews for them are high and they work just fine but don't care to spend any more to find out.
Bottom line, good price for a massive 46" LED internet enabled TV, but if you're looking to try the 3D, don't bother, spend a bit more and get one of those Panasonic deals that are going on. Also there's sever light bleeding on mine when the pictures all black.
- adamsky2 years, 8 months ago #7Show comment tools ReplyHave read some rather poor reviews regarding heavy motion blur on Polish AV forum, where this set comes from and thus is popular there. It's a class down comparing to Sony, Panasonic or Samsung in my opinion, so good buy when price is the main factor, but not when picture quality is.

Could get a vastly better 2D Panasonic 50" for just £80 more.
- ChrisX2 years, 8 months ago #17Show comment tools Replyyes it's wall mountable plus don't forget about the 5 year warranty.
- KEVIN6BZ2 years, 8 months ago #18Show comment tools ReplyThanks for that. I can't decide on a panasonic tx-p46st30 for £549 on dixons or this tv . I see this tv only gets average reviews but the 5 yr warranty is almost tempting me to it. Anyone else who owns this toshiba want to try and convince me?
- merlin482 years, 8 months ago #19Show comment tools ReplyMy son has the 40" version. The picture is excellent and the sound is very good for such a slim tv. The frame is very thin, just slightly bigger than the top of the range Samsungs. All in all this is a good stylish television at a remarkable price. 5 year guarantee, Freeview HD, Wifi dongle around £30! I had no hesitation in ordering one as soon as I saw the offer.
- dafadau2 years, 8 months ago #20Show comment tools ReplyI have this. It does have Optical out, has Freeview AND Freesat (but no EPG for this).
Superb in HD, not so good for SD.

Sometimes, I wonder why we go by that name "HOME FOR ALL", - the gateway to eastern, Nigeria – my land, my origin. My pride?
She gloats proudly by the tag, "HOME FOR ALL", this tag is everything but the truth, a land that is plagued with erosion which threatens the decaying infrastructure. Greedy politicians with promises, gone with the wind and ..., Oh yes, kidnappers- able bodied young men who refuse to be responsible to the society, using the lame excuse of unemployment to leave in their trail, widows, devastated mothers and fatherless daughters. This group of three are still casualties of my culture... of my land.
I look back in nostalgia, the days of going back home to the waiting arms of my grandparents, without being afraid of my shadow, but today, I cannot even have my traditional wedding in my homeland for the fear of my father being kidnapped. With each coming election, empty promises are made as the erosions dig deeper the graves for our primary schools and our secondary school leavers used as political thugs.
The victims - the women. We, who dare to hope and pray for a better tomorrow, it is our sons who become kidnappers, our babies that fall into the gullies of the erosions and our loved ones who die in political violence ... but then we still dare to hope and stand against all odds because this is meant to be our HOME FOR ALL!
It is such a joy to welcome you to our community. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Land. I so applaud the efforts of courageous women like you, who dare to hope, dare to speak out and in turn, educate us on the challenges and issues facing women in Nigeria every day.
It is sad that you cannot hold your traditional wedding in your homeland but voices like yours are strong and when you are given an opportunity to speak, you have the ability to start movements, reform laws and transform lives. We stand in support of our Nigerian sisters and hope that you will share more of your thoughts with the community. Best wishes,
Really powerful!
This story really struck me with anguish. I want to yell "it's not fair" like a 5 year old child. It's not fair that so many people are casualties of the group of three. It's not fair that there should be a home for all but it's being eroded and destroyed by corruption. I found this story to be incredibly personal and emotional, especially how you cannot have a wedding without fear of your father being kidnapped. Not fair at all.
The women have to continue to have hope. To imagine a different life and tell stories of the old life reminds people what was and can be.
Thank you for sharing!
In shared hope,
Your words make me think about the word "home," the deeper emotional connections I have to what it means, what it stands for. I want to give you my support as you stand for your home, for a place of safety and security, where kids can play without fear, where generations can gather and celebrate the beautiful aspects of your land.
Thank you for raising your voice and sharing this story with us. The more informed we are, the more voices raised, the more hope there is for change.

Metal detectors are a big worry.
Basic detectors can find metal on the surface or in the first 12 inches to 14 inches below ground, depending on soil conditions... bury it at least four feet deep.
Except according to another recent thread, if you put it 4 feet deep you'll need to buy a mining concession to dig it up again! (Seriously, it might be quite a bad idea to put directions in your will if it's on record and people start arguing about the legalities.)
