Chinese New Year sneaks up on me every single year. I'm barely done taking down my Christmas tree and it's time to put up my red and gold and stock up on oranges, red envelopes and dumplings. But you can ensure yourself and your kids a little good luck in this brand new year of the Horse on Friday, January 31, even if you don't have time for lots of advance preparation.
Here's how to do it:
Put out some oranges and tangerines. You'll do more than ward away a cold if you indulge in citrus on Chinese New Year. Tangerines and oranges symbolize luck and wealth, respectively.
Print out a good luck symbol. The Chinese word "fu" is the word for good luck. Draw it yourself on red paper, or print out an online template and have your kids color it, then hang it on your front door upside down to help ensure that good luck arrives in your home.
Order Chinese takeout. Certain dishes bring the best luck for the new year. Start with dumplings and spring rolls (which symbolize wealth), then have lo mein (the long noodles signify a long life) and whole fish or whole chicken, which will bring you good wishes and prosperity. Skip the tofu -- it's white, which is the color the Chinese associate with death, and it brings a bad omen to the new year.
Stuff some red envelopes. The traditional Chinese New Year red envelopes (called hong bao) are usually adorned with gold Chinese characters offering good wishes, but those leftover red envelopes from Christmas cards are perfect. Put in eight dollars for each child, as eight is an especially lucky number in China.
Treat yourself to fresh flowers. Any flower will help symbolize that fresh start that the new year provides. For extra luck, go with Chinese peonies (the "queen" of flowers) or bold red blooms.
Neglect your housework. While Chinese families typically do a thorough house cleaning in the days leading up to Chinese New Year to wash away any bad luck, doing housework on the big day is verboten. You could inadvertently sweep away any good luck.
Go shopping. The Chinese buy new clothes for a fresh start on the new year -- what better excuse to add a little something to your wardrobe?
Make a horse. You only need corks, toothpicks and thread plate to make this year's animal.
Light up with lanterns. The Chinese New Year festivities end on February 24th with the Lantern Festival. But your kids can create their own easy lanterns to adorn your house until then.
Let your kids make some noise. The Chinese set off firecrackers and bang drums to ward off bad spirits and attract the good. Set your kids loose with loud drums or cymbals or your pots and pans.
Dress in red. Red is the color of joy and celebration in China, and brings an auspicious start to the new year.
Learn how to say it. You can say Gung Hay Fat Choy, which is Cantonese for Happy New Year, or Xin Nian Kuai Le (pronounced shin nee-an kwie la), if you'd rather extend wishes to people in Mandarin.

Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring
Comparative Effectiveness of SMBP Monitoring Plus Additional Support Versus Usual Care (1 of 2)
There is high strength of evidence that SMBP plus additional support improved BP control when compared with usual care. Eleven trials, including six trials that were rated as being high in quality, reported statistically significant reductions in systolic BP or diastolic BP in the SMBP group. The additional support examined in these 11 trials were telecounseling; Web training with pharmacist counseling; self-titration plus provider alert; education; medication monitoring with provider alert; personalized Web site plus videoconference counseling; pharmacist counseling; and combined medication-behavioral management (as needed whenever there was inadequate BP control).
For a follow-up period of upto12 months, there was a significant mean net reduction in in-clinic systolic BP ranging from 1.6 to 8.5 mmHg and a significant mean net reduction in diastolic BP ranging from 1.9 to 4.4 mmHg—both favoring SMBP plus additional support. Meta-analyses of the studies was not possible because of the high level of heterogeneity in the types of additional support interventions used.
There was no difference between SMBP monitoring with some form of additional support and usual care for intermediate and surrogate outcomes, including medication number and dosage, medication adherence, quality of life, and adverse drug reactions. Inconsistency in findings and heterogeneity in definitions resulted in the strength of evidence being rated low for this finding.

Kate Walsh: My Ocean Inspiration
I had the good fortune to spend quite a bit of time in and around the ocean and sea during the last few months of my hiatus from "Private Practice," both for work and for pleasure.
My love for the oceans is obvious, to be sure, but nothing reinvigorates my commitment to keeping our oceans clean, sustainable and beautiful more than swimming, snorkeling, sailing and swimming in them.
The waters off the coast of Anguilla and the Bahamas are so clean, clear and warm and I got to see so much ocean life, from a vast array of colorful fish to the lush and intact coral reefs. I also love to visit the azure waters of the Aegean Sea that surrounds the islands of Mykonos and Santorini.
Last month, I placed a banner on my website encouraging my fans to "Be an Ocean Hero" this summer (I pledged to clean my local beach.) So I was a little surprised (and very humbled and flattered) when some of these people – The Walshies as they're affectionately known – wrote me to relate how my involvement with Oceana inspired them to become advocates too.
With that in mind, I'd like to share with you a few inspirational notes from The Walshies that reveal the capacity for the oceans to inspire and the power each of us holds to encourage our friends, family (or even fans) to get active in their protection:
Nicole (Miami, FL): After hearing about Oceana's Be an Ocean Hero pledge, now I too look beyond to what lies ahead, not only the superficial aspect of our waterways. Thanks Kate and thanks Oceana!

Kate Walsh on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Last night our favorite TV doctor and sea turtle lover Kate Walsh appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Jimmy displayed a photo of Kate swimming alongside a sea turtle from her trip with Oceana to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Kate fought back giggles -- that Jimmy Kimmel, such a jokester -- to explain why she loves sea turtles.
After you watch the clip, don't forget to check out her PSA, slideshows and bonus footage of Kate at http://na.oceana.org/en/turtlesoffthehook.

Kempt's Guide to the Dip-Dye
Ryan Plett at you_have_broken_the_internet has been showing off his dip-dyed oxford all week, and it's a sight to behold. The process is nothing new—Robert Geller's been into it for a while—but if you're looking to spice up your old workwear duds, it's one of the bolder moves out there.
So for anyone thinking of getting a little blue on their hands, we've put together a primer on DIY dip-dyeing. Gentlemen, approach with caution…
The actual process is deceptively simple: mix up some dye and hot water, dip in your shirt and let it dry somewhere without dripping all over your jeans. The trick is ending up with something that looks like Mr. Plett's shirt and not, for instance, this.
So we recommend a thick, unpatterned shirt (hence the oxford). RIT dye is the easiest to use. Unless you've got a overpowering vision for how you want this to end up–and we'd never stand in the way of inspiration–we'd start with something like Denim Blue, which should play well with both white and blue shirts, and match with most of the rest of your wardrobe.
Now, the fun part: put the dye in a metal tub (you can use plastic if you don't mind it staining), run some hot water, and get ready to dip. The trick is keeping the arms level with the torso, so you'll want to use a wire hanger and a tub large enough that you won't have to fold anything.
The longer you leave it dipped, the darker a color you'll end up with. Judging by the shade above, we'd guess Mr. Plett left his in for just a few minutes. You can also fold or crumple the fabric in the tub for tie-dye-style effects, but it might end up slightly less than elegant. After that, just hang it up somewhere stainproof, and once it's dry give it a thorough rinse until the water runs clear.
And it might go without saying but…this is probably a good day to wear your least favorite t-shirt.

Philip Mould OBE joins Fight for Sight as patron
14 July 2010
Art dealer, broadcaster and writer, Philip Mould OBE, has joined eye research charity Fight for Sight as patron.
Philip is a significant supporter of Fight for Sight. As well as lending his support to the charity's recent My View of London photography competition, Philip also hosted a fundraising reception at his Dover Street gallery.
Fight for Sight Chief Executive, Michele Acton, is delighted Philip has taken on the role of patron for the charity: "Philip Mould has been a generous supporter of Fight for Sight and we are very pleased to welcome him on board as patron.
"The support of our patrons is so important for raising both the profile of the charity and funds for our vital programme of eye research, enabling us to take important steps towards a future without blindness and eye disease."
Philip Mould said of his involvement with Fight for Sight: "As an art dealer, I occupy a world that is dependent on the power of sight. Someone who appreciates and understands art is often described as having "a good eye". I can't think of a neater link between a calling and a cause. I am honoured to be associated with Fight for Sight and its wonderful work in preventing and treating sight loss."

Dáil Éireann - Volume 489 - 31 March, 1998
Written Answers. - Coastal Protection.
Mr. Sargent Mr. Sargent
20. Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he will accept the recommendations from the coastwatch organisation to protect the coastal and marine environment by way of amendments to his Department's report on coast management by a consultant (details supplied). [8040/98]
Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods) Michael J. Woods
Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods): The discussion document and report on "Coastal Zone Management — a draft Policy for Ireland" were prepared by consultants Brady Shipman Martin, at the request of my Department and the Departments of the Environment and Local Government and Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands, and published on 2 December 1997, for the purposes of simulating necessary public debate. The documents do not represent Government policy and have served their purpose. It is not proposed, therefore, to amend them for republication.
Almost one hundred written submissions, [508] including one from Coastwatch, have been received in relation to those documents and a major public consultation seminar was held yesterday in Dublin to review the key issues raised in the documents and in the submissions. The outcome of that lengthy public consultation phase will be carefully considered by the Government, in the coming months, in deciding on the essentials of a national coastal zone management policy and implementation framework.

While we updated last night's Women Superstars Uncensored double DVD tapings (click here for results) featuring the J-Cup and Jessicka Havok v Mercedes Martinez, among others, our Twitter and Facebook accounts were flooded with comments about the booking. Messages we received included terms such as 'confused', 'silly', 'pointless' and 'ridiculous'. Because of these references, as well as the official release from WSU, we felt there was enough to dive into the debate and release a few feelings of our own.
First though, a recap…
• Brittney Savage won the J-Cup for the second year running, defeating Ezavel Suena, Annie Social and Athena to take the tournament and earn a WSU Championship match on the subsequent DVD taping.
• Allysin Kay and Sassy Stephie held onto the Tag Team Championship by defeating the team that they beat to win the belts in the first place, Jana and Luscious Latasha.
• Tina San Antonio defeated Marti Belle in an Uncensored Rules match after bleeding all over the place following being hit in the head with a bottle.
• Martinez regained the WSU Championship by beating Havok, who lost the belt on her first defence. Havok's foot was under the bottom rope, which caused her much anger when the result stood. The loss was also Havok's first in singles competition in the promotion.
• Havok destroyed Marti Belle to retain the Spirit Championship.
• Queen of the Ring Jennifer Cruz beat Jana to remain undefeated in 2012.
• Alicia defeated Allysin Kay, causing another blip in the Midwest Militia's dominance.
• After defeating Athena, Rain promised to retire if she could not win the Uncensored Rumble on June 16. Earlier in the show, Lexxus promised to win the Rumble for the second straight year.
• Savage v Martinez for the WSU Title became a triple threat when Havok invoked her rematch clause and won the belt by pinning Martinez after Savage nailed the titleholder with a diamond cutter, but was thwarted by Stephie.
So they are the talking points – after the jump, we'll look at who has benefited and who has suffered…
First off, the positives.
• Kimber Lee and Athena ended up thrilling fans. Though that is something that we have come to expect from Athena these days, for Kimber Lee to earn such high plaudits in what is still her rookie year is worthy of praise. Coupled with her showing at AIW Girls Night Out 5 and 6, she seems to be one to watch out for – so much so that WSU is offering her a place on the roster. Athena made it to the finals of the J-Cup – though with a bye in the semis due to Lexxus v Alicia finishing in a double count out in the quarter finals – and was also in the semi-main of the second taping, falling to Rain.
• Jessicka Havok left the tapings with the WSU Championship, though had to go around the houses to do it. More on that later.
• Kay and Stephie are now firmly the tandem to beat in WSU after seeing off the Soul Sisters. One would think their next challengers would be Bones and Roses (Jessie "Bonesaw" Brooks and Jenny Rose). Brooks won praise for her progression – and getting rid of the old red gear which did not suit her – and Rose was talked up too.
• The Tina San Antonio/Marti Belle feud is done. Good thing too – it never really took off, and was stunted by their uninspiring encounter back in March. This match was said to be better though.
• Tina also seems to be getting a new direction, teaming with Rick Cataldo and Ezavel Suena as part of the Rick's Chicks faction. That name encapsulates who the star of the group is though…
• The preparation for the Uncensored Rumble is well underway, with a number of matches having been announced and Rain's promise that she will retire if she does not win the Rumble match itself.
However, there were also a number of negatives.
• Brittney Savage won the J-Cup last year and seemingly hasn't moved up the card, as she was entered into it this year and won it again. One could argue that she hasn't progressed in WSU in the last 12 months. On the following taping, she received a title shot and lost, meaning that in the space of 24 hours, she ascended to the top, and then returned to her level of bubbling under the main event. She will face Sassy Stephie at the Uncensored Rumble. These two have been feuding for years now. They should both be allowed to move on.
• Nothing against Savage, but there was an opportunity to give a new name the chance to win the tournament. Jenny Rose and Athena could have been prime candidates.
• Who really got elevated on these tapings? As far as the storyline progression goes, only Jennifer Cruz, and it seems that the audience isn't keen on her push, based on the feedback we've received.
• Speaking of the audience, there were about 60 people at the show in Deer Park, NY, which is pretty disastrous. The reported attendance for the promotion's flagship Anniversary Show was also low, which brings WSU's promotion of its shows into question.
• Lexxus promised to win the Uncensored Rumble for a second straight year. Like with Savage winning the J-Cup again, it only highlights how Lexxus' career in WSU has levelled off recently. Despite wrestling Martinez for 74 minutes last August, taking on Melina in November and pulling double duty in March, she is no closer to being perceived as a main-eventer as she was a year ago.
• In fact, therein lies the issue. At the top of the card are Havok and Martinez, with Alicia, Savage, Kay and Stephie on the next level down, then possibly Rain and Lexxus, and a chasm between them and everyone else – not in talent, but in perception of who the real stars are. Sure, Athena and Lexxus may be doing fine for themselves, but while the Militia controls the titles, they aren't going to get a sniff at any championship matches. Likewise, despite Alicia getting a win over Kay, the faces are pretty much playing catchup.
I have saved the Martinez/Havok situation until last though, for obvious reasons. It is the be-all and end-all for the promotion right now, and understandably, WSU wants to get as much out of it as possible, though they may be running the risk of trying to get too much.
When Havok won the WSU Championship from Martinez in March, it established her as the unarguable top dog. She had both singles titles and still held an unbeaten singles run in WSU. Two months on, and she loses the title in her first defence with a screwy ending, which also signals an end to her undefeated run, which seems like a massive dent in her armour. This is the new WSU Champion – a woman with more momentum than anyone else in the promotion, and is poised to start demolishing people to establish herself as THE woman, which would make things even more special when someone rocks up to beat her, take the belt and kill her unbeaten streak. Instead, that honour went to the woman who needed it the least – the former WSU Champ who had held the title for three years and had beaten everyone in her path for close to 50 defences. For her to then lose the title three hours later back to Havok did nobody any favours – Havok's unbeaten run is dead, Martinez now has the moniker of being the shortest reigning WSU Champion in history and it was all done for a one-night, two DVD angle which had the sole intention of setting up a match between the two at the Uncensored Rumble on June 16. Why not have a no-contest or a DQ win for Martinez if you wanted to set up another encounter between the two, instead of throwing away two years of victories which had been accumulated by Havok?
Which brings us to that contest on June 16 – a Casket Match.
Firstly, I can understand the logic. Jessicka has threatened to kill Mercedes on a number of occasions, and the feelings between the two run so deep now that it needed a gimmick match, and one that is synonymous with death is what WSU has gone with. Havok and Mercedes can talk about wanting to kill each other, bury each other and make each other's careers rest in peace. I get that, and as a theory, I can't argue against it.
However, Casket Matches are silly, and most of the time lack tension, as rolling someone into a box is not as dramatic as going for a pinfall or submssion or even climbing a ladder or a cage. It is also a relic that WWE doesn't even use anymore. In fact, in the last 10 years, there have only been four Casket Matches on WWE pay-per-views, the last one being at Survivor Series 2008. As a gimmick, it is dead – if you pardon the pun. Last Woman Standing, Falls Count Anywhere… either one of these would have been applicable given the history of the feud (Last Woman Standing being a match about brutality, whereas Falls Count Anywhere would nullify the possibility of a pinfall with a foot being under a rope). In a promotion which likes to make things seem very real, a Casket Match sticks out as looking somewhat cartoony. On the plus side, the promos for the match should be very good.
This is not a piece to hate on WSU – on the contrary, I am concerned for its direction. Looking at the results and progression (or lack thereof) of some of the regular names is a cause of concern that I hope WSU is addressing. For example, the amount of repetition. Savage became a 2-time J-Cup winner, while Martinez & Havok became 2-time WSU Champions on the same night, while Lexxus is talking about becoming a 2-time Uncensored Rumble winner, Havok defended the Spirit Title against Marti Belle for the second show in a row and there was also the sticking point of the same spot of referees being distracted coming up last night. The promotion takes pride is having long-running storylines, so I hope we are at the middle point of a number of them, which will see new names rise up to take on the established stars.
A champion is only as strong as the opponents and matches given to them. It will do Havok no favours for her to defeat a bunch of women who the fans do not perceive are a serious threat to her or her Championship. Once she defeats Martinez at the Uncensored Rumble – and she really has to – we hope there is a new challenger waiting in the wings. She deserves that test.

A colorful paisley accent wall adds a sense of buzz and excitement to this tween girl's bedroom. The large scale and pared-down style of the pattern push it into modern territory; a smaller, swirlier print would have looked too formal.by JAC Interiors

The Unspoken Danger of Buttered Coffee
Buttered coffee is a weird new trend where you use butter instead of cream/milk. I normally drink it black, but I was still intrigued. There are apparently some benefits in terms of it having calories, and leaving you full, so you can use it as a meal replacement. I already normally skip breakfast and just have coffee, but I suppose some (non-caffeine induced) morning energy wouldn't be a bad thing.
In doing my internet research before trying it (mostly figuring out how much to add), I came across the Bulletproof Executive. I've never heard of this before, but based on this one article, it seems pretty douchey:
"I learned about the power of butter at 18,000 feet of elevation near Mt. Kailash in Tibet. "
Wow. Anyway, add a tablespoon of butter to coffee, and there you go. You let it dissolve in, and it's actually pretty good. Mostly just tastes like coffee with cream, but greasier. In a good way I guess?
Amy did the Whole Life Challenge once, and apparently everyone at her gym raves about this. Seems good for people who like cream, but can't have it either due to lactose intolerance, or silly abidance due weird paleo rules. Cause you can't have milk, but you can have butter? It's part of the paleo thing, which still doesn't make sense, but I digress.
The Danger
Now we come to the danger. What if you let it get cold? Coffee with cream? Nothing. Coffee with butter? Floaties. Disgusting butter floaties. Which can come as a surprise to you if you are drinking out of a capped thermos. (I just did this again in a regular mug and didn't want floaties just for the photo.)
Never do this unless you're going to drink it all at once. Disgusting.

Chicago marathoners: Take tight turns — or risk longer run
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporter September 9, 2013 6:34PM
Runners head north on LaSalle St. during the 2011 Chicago Marathon. | Sun-Times files
Updated: October 11, 2013 6:02AM
Attention Bank of America Chicago Marathon runners who signed up to run 26.2 miles and not a step further: Take tight turns.
Runners who don't hug the 36 turns along the marathon route could unwittingly add up to a half mile to their race, resulting in unwanted extra minutes to their finishing time, according to rough calculations by Jay Wight, who measures Chicago's course for USA Track and Field and, for the first time Friday, put some thought into the matter.
"Over a course that long, with that many turns, if you're not running the tightest line, you're going to be adding significant distance," said Wight.
Marathon rookies are especially vulnerable.
"Beginners have a tendency to drift," said marathon guru and author Hal Higdon. "Concentration is not easy for 26 miles."
But choosing the perfect line is not always possible while navigating hordes of runners. A total of 45,000 people are signed up for the Oct. 13 race.
"The packs are so large that you can't necessarily run where you want to run until things get spread out," said Wight.
Bottlenecks have been known to form around early turns.
"Sometimes the straight line isn't the fastest line," said Higdon. "Basically you sort of have to think ahead and try to anticipate in advance."
As of Tuesday, runners have 33 days to prepare.

Biographical/Historical note:
Dr. Elizabeth Laizner was born in 1915 in Austria but left for America due to the Nazi invasion in 1938. She earned her doctorate at the University of Vienna. Upon arriving in New York City, she worked as a maid, a nanny, and a secretary. Laizner later moved to Greensboro in 1961 and was hired by Bennett College President Willa Player to teach French and German. She joined the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and became active in the civil rights movement in Greensboro. Dr. Laizner died after a short illness on January 28, 2004 at the age of 88.
In this transcript of a June 19, 1979, oral history interview conducted by Eugene Pfaff with Elizabeth Laizner, Laizner provides details concerning formation of CORE, including the primary figures ...

The 19th century Fortress Diemerdam was part of the Stelling of Amsterdam, a line of structures originally built to defend the city. Constructed between 1880 and 1914, the line of defense was made up of 46 forts, batteries, and dykes built around 15 kilometers from the center of Amsterdam.
In addition to the fortress renovation, Emma Architecten also restored the original wooden cottage located on the grounds, which now houses a restaurant. A wooden wall protects this section of the fortress, which contains the pavilion and cafe. Through gaps in the wall visitors can look out over gun bays and Island Pampus, the next fortress in the defense line. The renovation and restoration by the Dutch architecture studio was part of a larger project, and it was recently included on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Although a dog's leather-like paw pads may appear to be impervious to everyday wear and tear, they can sometimes develop problems. Cracked paw pads is one problem that can prove highly frustrating because it not only interferes with your dog's ability to walk, but can also cause him discomfort. But solving the problem can be as simple as identifying its cause. Furthermore, in most cases, cracked paw pads can be treated without the need to expose your dog to the harsh chemicals found in most commercial pet products.
Some household products can be irritating to a dog's paw pads. Chemicals in commercial carpet and floor cleaners as well as those found in garden sprays can leave your dog's paws irritated, as can ice melting products used on the sidewalks during wintertime. And once the irritation has developed, your dog is likely to develop an urge to chew on his paws, thus aggravating the problem.
To help your dog avoid developing cracked paw pads due to irritants, limit his exposure to these products. Use only natural, organic cleaning products around the home and in your garden. Always wash your dog's paws after he's been walking in the winter to remove any salt he may have picked up on his paws. If your dog has sensitive paws, which isn't uncommon in older dogs, consider buying a pair of boots for your dog to wear when walking on hot, rough, or salty surfaces.
Inadequate levels of zinc in a dog's diet can sometimes result in cracked and sore paw pads. Studies show that dogs absorb between only five and 40 percent of their zinc requirement from their diet, while northern breeds of dog such as the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky have a genetic inability to absorb adequate levels of this mineral. You can have your dog's zinc levels checked by a veterinarian. Adding a zinc supplement to your dog's diet can help remedy this problem, although care should be taken to avoid overdosing as it can lead to problems with calcium absorption. Zinc can be found in all good vitamin and fatty acid supplements. As well as remedying the problem of cracked paw pads, you may also notice that your dog's skin and coat improve as a result of a dietary zinc supplement.
Walking and running on rough, hot, or icy terrain can cause your dog's paw pads to become dry and cracked. This is especially true of hunting dogs that may develop problems with their paw pads due to excessive wear and tear. If you live in a rural area, and your dog roams freely, he may often get thorns and sharp stones stuck in his paws, leading to cuts and cracks.
It's important to check your dog's paws regularly to ensure they're in good health. Dry and cracked paws can often lead to infection. If you want to avoid using chemical products to deal with your dog's cracked paws, use Vaseline, which will help to soften your dog's paws. Although Vaseline isn't harmful if licked off in small amounts, you may want to cover your dog's paws until the Vaseline has been fully absorbed.
If your dog's cracked paws fail to heal, you should seek advice from your veterinarian as certain diseases can cause cracked and inflamed paw pads. Your veterinarian can carry out the necessary tests to see whether there's an underlying health issue that's causing the problem.

Who's Bigger Than Jesus on the Internet? Only Two Celebrities and a Pet
- topic:
- Humor
- News / Politics
- Music
- MemeTracker
It's been over 44 years since John Lennon's claims of being bigger than Jesus caused parents and church groups to burn Beatles albums.
In 1966, this may have been true, but we didn't have the popularity metrics that we have today. People across the globe, young and old, still find common ground in the music of The Beatles, but how do they compare in 2010? And for that matter, what about Steve Jobs? Kanye West? Oprah? Snooki?
I used Google Insights to compare the relative volume of search terms for 23 of the biggest celebrities I could think of (dead or alive), Jesus, and the word "cat" over the course of the last 12 months.
Truth be told, I only put the cat in there because I was struggling to find someone to put between Jesus and Justin Bieber. Why am I reading this in the voice of Kenny Powers as I write it? I don't know. Maybe I'm feeling delirious. I stayed up all night putting the finishing touches on this. Do me a solid and stick this on your fridge or something. Enjoy.
hot on the web
By manuel
lady gaga and cats are not going to save your soul or the world for that matter!!!!!!!! only through jesus can save the world and your soul. people need to wake up and smell the roses,and need to be more concerend about thier souls and not the world, cause the world is going to do what the world wants to, so you should worry more about your soul then any other thing in this world. thank our loving and careing lord jesus for dying for us and paying the price of sin for us so we wouldnt have to. thank lord jesus very much for giving us a way out of payment for our sins. thank you jesus so very much, and may the lord watch over us all. amen

lmao silly little ignorant fool. there is no god. wake up smell the roses. all religions make no sense. what makes yours any better than anyone else's? it's all equal bs. "religions are like farts, yours is good but everyone else's stinks." people like you confirm this. you are a pathetic contribution to the human race and hold us back as a society. i am personally a humanist because i believe in doing good. i believe there is no god. i do good without the fear of sin or the expectation of a reward driving me to do so. read up on some Kurt Vonnegut. maybe your religious brainwashing will break upon reading his work. the man is a genius and will never be forgotten.
By Elena
Well I'm not surprised at all. The only rebellion left in this world is God's rebellion, people who read the word of Jesus and live it. I mean who wants to be part of God's rebellion? Who wants to be an outcast, your life at stake, ridiculed, misunderstood? The ways of the world are foolish but God is the way, the truth, and the life. Lady Gaga isn't there when I'm in trouble, hurt, need inspiration, or need healing. The best role model is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Whether people believe he exists or NOT, he's still IAM!! SELAH!!!!
By Allons-y!
Jesus is better than Bieber and Gaga combined times a billion.
Cool article though.

you got to be kidding right? Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the light. nobody sees God the Father except through Jesus. there is a short story that i wouls see in the newspapers on Christmas Eve, i can't recall the name , but it was wriiten by a canadian. it starts with Him being born among animals in a stable, mentions parts of His life . then ends with the words very close to this , And noone has affected the world more than this single solatary Man so have fun with your lists , in fact enclose them in the most fire resistant substance known to man, tell it quickly to your fellow spirits because it will burn to a cinder in a nano-second. you fools don't know who you're offending, because if you did this would never appeared in print

One of the most powerful responses to Lennon's outlandish statement was a mid-90s song by Audio Adrenaline called "Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus." I urge the author of this post to look up the lyrics. They admit that we're never going to be as big as Jesus, but then they go on to say that "That, that's allright, okay with me." This is the attitude we should all have. He must increase, I must decrease.

hmmm, the holy land literally is somewhere near Isreal or Palestine, according to the bible, that's actually where Nazareth is, so technically Jesus was either Jewish or Arabic in birth, especially if the timeline of our calender is right, it started exactly 2010 yrs ago, the calender started with Jesus' birth...AH SALAM AH LENKA Jesus!!!!

Once you've found potential premises to lease, there are a variety of documents involved in the leasing of commercial premises including:
Additionally, under the Act, when a new retail lease is being considered, a landlord is required to give the tenant the following documents at least seven days before entering into the lease. These documents enable prospective tenants to make a proper assessment of a lease proposal.
If you are considering the assignment of a retail lease (transfer from one tenant to another), you should ask the current tenant for a copy of these documents, which he or she would have received from the landlord.
You should obtain all documents and spend some time reading and understanding them so that you can clarify any matters you are unsure of with your advisors.

Hi everyone.
|Fri, 03-12-2010 - 8:53am
Hi and welcome to the board. I hope things will get easier for you now that you have a diagnosis and can work out what you are dealing with (and you are lucky to get an Aspergers diagnosis so young!). Please feel free to hang out and ask anything: I can guarantee that someone here will have been through something similar or have some useful input or support for you.
Kirsty, mum to Euan (11, Aspergers Syndrome) Rohan (7, NT) and Maeve (4, NT)
|Fri, 03-12-2010 - 11:36am
Welcome to the board.
We're here to help you in whatever way we can. It can really tough in the beginning because of the feelings that come up and the confusion on what to do next. Just take it a step at a time, nothing has really changed, you've just gotten more information about your child which will help you help your DS be his best. He's still the same child you've loved all these year. Nothing is going to blow apart if you don't get all the supports in place tomorrow. There is plenty of time to learn the ropes.
Hope to get to know you better as time goes on.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

You are here: Information > North London Girls' Schools' Consortium
Information for parents
For the purposes of 11+ entry procedures the North London Independent Girls' Schools have formed a Consortium. Within this Consortium, certain schools have grouped together (group1 and group 2) to ease administration by having their entrance examinations on the same day. Schools in the same group set common papers using the same mark scheme.
Francis Holland (Clarence Gate), Francis Holland (Graham Terrace), Heathfield School, Notting Hill and Ealing High School, Queen's College, St. Albans High School, St. Helen's High School, South Hampstead High School, The Royal School, Hampstead.
Group 2:
Channing School, City of London School for Girls, More House, North London Collegiate School, Northwood College, Queen's Gate School, St. James Independent School, The Godolphin and Latymer School.
Haberdashers' Aske's Girls School, Elstree.
St. Paul's Girls' School.
Please contact each school for which you wish your daughter to be considered requesting an Application Form and any other relevant information.
N.B. You must complete a separate application form for all schools to which you apply, even if they are in the same group.
The individual schools to which you have applied will then process your application and send you any necessary information. You are strongly advised to attend Open Days at all the schools to which you have applied and you should ring each school early in the Michaelmas Term for the dates and times of Open Days.
On your application form you will be asked to state at which school you wish your daughter to take the entrance tests. She will be given equal consideration by all the schools in the group to which she has applied, regardless of where she sits the tests.. Please note that she may only sit tests at one school in each group.
A reference will be requested from the Head of the candidate's school prior to the entrance test
The Consortium schools make their own arrangements for interviews. Queen's College interview all candidates before they sit the entrance examination.
These will be made available to the other schools in the Consortium. Each of the schools to which your daughter has applied will then consider whether or not to offer her a place on the basis of the tests, interview and school reference.
Offers will be sent out to parents by all schools in the Consortium. Some of these may be for a place on a waiting list. Information about position on the waiting list is not given. All girls on the waiting list are considered to have qualified for entry should a vacancy arise.
Acceptances must be received by the school at which you wish to confirm a place. If no reply has been received to an offer of a place by that date, it will be assumed that you do not wish to accept.

Captain Thomas J. Hudner, Jr., USN, (1924-____)
Thomas J. Hudner, Jr., was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, on 31 August 1924. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating in 1946. Following service in surface ships and ashore, he attended flight school and was designated a Naval Aviator in August 1949. Later that year, he was assigned to Fighter Squadron 32 (VF-32) aboard USS Leyte (CV-32). On 4 December 1950, while serving with that unit during the Korean War, he crash-landed his own plane near the Chosin reservoir in a brave effort to rescue Ensign Jesse L. Brown, another VF-32 pilot whose plane had been shot down. For his heroism on that occasion, Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Hudner was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Following his tour with VF-32, Thomas J. Hudner held a variety of training, operational and staff assignments. He commanded Training Squadron 24 (VT-24) in 1965-66 and then served as Executive Officer of USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63). During the early 1970s, Captain Hudner was Head of Aviation Technical Training in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. He retired from the Navy in February 1973. During recent years, he has served as Massachusetts Commissioner for Veterans Affairs.

Important Rules
Important Rules
Here are some very important rules to follow when connected to VATSIM. Please take a moment to thoroughly read through them. This lesson serves as a guide, the official rules can be found in the "Code of Conduct" and "User Agreement" on the VATSIM website.
- In order to not disturb flight operations in any way, pilots on the ground must make sure that they are not on a runway or taxiway before logging on to the VATSIM network.
- Before logging on to the VATSIM network, pilots who are in the air need to make sure their Flight Simulator program is not paused, except with permission to do so by a relevant controller.
- Pilots need to check regularly whether they are flying through controlled (staffed) airspace. Pilots shall ideally make contact with ATC before entering controlled airspace, or as soon as possible if a controller logs on while crossing through that controller's airspace.
- Not all air traffic controllers or pilots have a voice-program. Pilots need to accept any ATC using text-only communication, and all UNICOM messages are to be transmitted in text. There is no obligation to use voice on VATSIM.
- While not being in contact with an air traffic controller, pilots must monitor the UNICOM-frequency 122.800.
- Pilots shall not use an active ATC frequency for private conversations. This avoids disturbances for other traffic. Please use private messages for personal communications!
- Simulations of emergency situations are not forbidden. However, air traffic controllers have the right to deny the simulation of an emergency and pilots must stop the emergency if requested to do so. If the pilot is unable to stop the emergency, the pilot must log off the network. It is strictly forbidden to simulate hijacking situations or other illegal operations under any circumstances.
- The GUARD-frequency 121.500 must not be used under any circumstance except in the event of an emergency while a pilot is not on an active ATC-frequency. Even in this case GUARD must not be used for anything else but to find an air traffic controller who will contact the pilot in an emergency situation. As soon as the pilot has been contacted by ATC, the frequency must be changed to that of the controller.
- Pilots flying inside staffed (controlled) airspace must not leave the cockpit unattended at any time without authorization. If a pilot needs to leave the flight unattended for a few minutes, the pilot should request the planned absence with the relevant air traffic controller. The beginning and the end of the absence must be announced by the pilot.
- Pilots flying outside of staffed (controlled) airspace are required to log off of the network if it is anticipated that they will be away for more than thirty (30) minutes. If you are found to be unresponsive for more than thirty minutes, you will be subject to immediate removal from the network. Repeat offenders will be subject to suspensions and/or expulsions. One thing to note is that staff is not always required to give you the full thirty minutes. If you fly into controlled airspace and are unresponsive, you can be removed immediately. The point to remember is that if you intend to be away from your computer for more than 30 minutes or you find yourself suddenly needing to leave, take a brief moment to disconnect from the network.
- Log on to fly or observe, not to chat. Logging on with a non-active callsign is not allowed. Non-active callsigns are defined as callsigns which are unrelated to any pilot, air traffic control position, instructor or designated staff engaging in administrative duties. However, new members are encouraged to observe how things operate on the network. This helps to learn both procedure and phraseology (a fancy word which means how ATC and pilots speak to one another). Keep in mind that legitimate observation to learn will always be encouraged as it is a necessary practice to become comfortable with using and functioning within the VATSIM environment. It is only when you cross the line between legitimate observing and using VATSIM as a chat program that you will be in violation of this rule.
- You are not allowed to have more than one connection to the VATSIM network at a time. If you wish to get information about your flight status please use the programs ServInfo or Whazzup. You can find links to them in the VATSIM 104 course.
- Pilots flying under the control of a student controller are kindly requested to be patient and fair to this new member of the ATC community!
- Generally speaking: respect other individuals on the VATSIM network. This is just a hobby so do not overdrive in terms of realism and seriousness! To keep VATSIM a pleasant place, everyone is kindly requested to respect these rules. They make sense because they guarantee a common base to operate on VATSIM, to keep it free of charge and to make everyone feel comfortable using VATSIM.

By Brian Liskai (Attica, OH) Both Fremont Speedway and Attica Raceway Park are continuing to take the input received from fans, drivers and sponsors and look for ways to provide more exciting, entertaining racing. Part of that will be to incorporate one-way radio communications between track officials and racers during the 2008 season. All drivers competing in all divisions at both tracks will be required to utilize the radios in 2008. "We value the input we receive from the fans and teams. One of the things we have heard over the years is why does it take so long to line up cars during yellow and red flags. By incorporating one-way radios we will be able to tell each driver where they are to line up. Coupled with our officials using the line-up boards, it should cut down significantly on the number of yellow flag laps we run," said Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer. "There's also a safety measure involved in the one-way radios. We'll be able to tell the drivers when there is a problem on the track and where it is," added Attica Operations Director Rex LeJeune. Both tracks will be using the Raceceiver 1600 Elite (a yellow model about the size of a pager or cell phone). The Raceeiver unit includes a battery, clip and ear buds. Ross Paulson of the Computer Man, 200 E. State St., Fremont, Oh. 43420, has them in stock. Paulson is accepting cash, check or credit card (credit card users must bring them to the store).

"We realize it would have been around $300, which some teams indicated would present some problems. We're hoping by next year that cost will come down and we can also incorporate a reasonable rental method to help the teams out. We're going to revisit the transponders again after 2008," said Farmer. For more information log onto www.fremontohspeedway.com or www.atticaracewaypark.com.
