Before that happens, however, Mackenzie, who serves as Vice President, has to decide whether or not to go against the dying wishes of the current President, who has asked her to step down and let someone "more appropriate" fill his shoes in the Oval Office. Not only does the President want her to resign, so does the entire party that elected her in the first place. But when the moment of truth arrives, Mackenzie isn't willing to be a mere footnote in history. Instead of allowing her detractors to keep her down, she decides to trust her instincts and accept the most powerful job in the world. "Commander-in-Chief" stars Academy Award®-winner Geena Davis and comes from Rod Lurie, acclaimed writer/director of the Oscar-nominated film "The Contender," and creator of the critically acclaimed ABC series, "Line of Fire." Cast: Geena Davis ("Thelma and Louise"): Mackenzie Allen Donald Sutherland ("M*A*S*H"): Nathan Templeton Harry J. Lennix ("Ray"): Jim Gardner Ever Carradine ("Once and Again"): Kelly Ludlow Kyle Secor ("Homicide: Life on the Street"): Rod Allen Julie Ann Emery ("Line of Fire"): Joan Greer Andrew James Allen: Horace Allen Caitlin Wachs: Rebecca Allen Jasmine Anthony: Amy Allen Credits: Executive Producer/Writer: Rod Lurie ("Line of Fire") Executive Producer: Marc Frydman ("Line of Fire") Director: Rod Lurie Production Company: Touchstone Television, Battle Plan Productions "Freddie" (half-hour comedy, Wednesday, 8:30 p.m., ET) -- Four women to every man are great odds when you're a single guy out on the town, but not ideal when it comes to your living situation. Freddie is a young, successful chef with his own restaurant, a stylish bachelor pad and a trust fund baby for a best friend. The world should be Freddie's oyster at this stage in life, but bachelorhood isn't working out exactly as he envisioned. Freddie loved growing up in a house full of women. He loved the energy of everyone running around, loved cooking for them all, but now he's finally realizing why his father used to lock himself in the bathroom just for some peace and quiet. Still, Freddie believes family always comes first, which is why he insisted his sister, sister-in-law, niece and grandmother come live with him after his brother passed away. Slowly but surely they are taking over his domain, and voicing their many opinions about his love life. Freddie will have to learn to balance his role as provider, brother, grandson and uncle, all while trying to enjoy what should be his swinging single days. The creative forces behind "The Drew Carey Show" and "George Lopez" serve up a comedic dish based on the raucous femme-filled real life of star Freddie Prinze, Jr. ("She's All That," "Scooby Doo"). Cast: Freddie Prinze, Jr. ("Scooby Doo"): Freddie Jacqueline Obradors ("NYPD Blue"): Sofia Brian Green ("Beverly Hills, 90210"): Chris Jenny Gago: Grandma Chloe Suazo: Zoey Credits: Executive Producers/Writers: Bruce Helford ("The Drew Carey Show," "George Lopez"), Freddie Prinze, Jr., Bruce Rasmussen ("The Drew Carey Show") Producer/Writer: Conrad Jackson Executive Producer: Deborah Oppenheimer ("The Drew Carey Show," "George Lopez") Production Companies: Warner Bros. Television, Mohawk Productions, The Firm "Hot Properties" (half-hour comedy, Friday, 9:30 p.m., ET) -- In a Manhattan real estate office, four very different women cater to high-end clients while coping with their own personal predicaments. Married to a handsome 25-year-old, fortysomething Ava Summerlin wants to start a family, while self-improvement junkie Chloe would settle for any guy who can remember her the next day. Recently divorced after being married ten years to a gay man, voluptuous Lola dreads jumping back into the dating pool, and the latest addition to this eclectic work group is rich girl Emerson Ives, who instantly bonds with the women upon learning that her supposedly virginal fiancé was anything but. And the ladies' office neighbors from down the hall, therapist Dr. Sellers Boyd and plastic surgeon Dr. Charlie Thorpe, help keep things lively around the water cooler. In the tradition of "Designing Women," "Golden Girls" and "Sex and the City" comes an uninhibited comedy with real career women trying to have real relationships. One of the Emmy Award-winning producers of the mega- hit "Frasier" reveals just how exciting the world of New York real estate can be. Cast: Audra Blaser: Emerson Stephen Dunham ("Monster-in-Law"): Charlie Evan Handler ("Sex and the City"): Sellers Gail O'Grady ("NYPD Blue"): Ava Nicole Sullivan ("King of Queens"): Chloe Sofia Vergara ("Four Brothers"): Lola Credits: Executive Producer/Writer: Suzanne Martin ("Frasier") Production Company: Interbang Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television "Invasion" (one-hour drama, Wednesday, 10:00 p.m., ET) -- For centuries man has searched the skies for signs of intelligent life… but to no avail. What if the explanation lay in the fact that aliens were already here... already among us? And what if all of the natural disasters we've been experiencing of late were smokescreens designed to mask something far more ominous? When yet another devastating hurricane threatens Florida, temporarily cutting off a small town at the edge of the Everglades, U.S. Park Ranger Russell Varon takes heroic measures to keep both the town's citizens and his family safe. In the middle of the violent storm, his young daughter is the only one to see small lights floating towards the water, seemingly unaffected by the vicious winds. At the time he thinks nothing of her claim, but begins to suspect that something may indeed be amiss when his missing ex-wife is found naked, with no memory of what happened during the storm. As the tiny town struggles to recover while his nemesis, the Sheriff, quarantines the entire area, Varon begins to investigate the strange goings on, unwittingly beginning a fight for the survival of the human race. Veteran writer/producer Shaun Cassidy and celebrated director Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing") bring you the suspenseful tale of a blended family that finds itself at the center of a conspiracy to mask an alien takeover that is happening one neighbor at a time. Cast: William Fichtner ("Black Hawk Down"): Sheriff Underlay Eddie Cibrian ("Third Watch"): Russell Kari Matchett: Mariel Lisa Sheridan: Larkin Tyler Labine ("That Was Then"): Dave Alexis Dziena: Kira Evan Peters ("The Days"): Jesse Ariel Gade: Rose Credits: Executive Producer/Writer: Shaun Cassidy ("American Gothic") Pilot Executive Producer/Director: Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing") Production Company: Warner Bros. Television, Shaun Cassidy Productions "The Night Stalker" (one-hour drama, Thursday, 9:00 p.m., ET) -- There are things in the dark, things adults deny but children are right to fear… When a pregnant woman is snatched from her home, the shocked citizens of L.A. believe it's an act of domestic violence. But crime reporter Carl Kolchak suspects that the truth is far more complicated. That's because 18 months ago Kolchak's wife was killed in a bizarre fashion and he has been the FBI's no. 1 suspect ever since. Kolchak's determination to find the truth behind his wife's mysterious murder has led him to investigate other crimes that seem to have some kind of supernatural component. But he's trying to piece together a puzzle that keeps changing shape. Who or what is committing these crimes? How are they all related? And why do some victims end up with a strange red mark on their hands in the shape of a snake? With sidekick Perri Reed, a sexy if skeptical fellow reporter in tow, Kolchak will go to any lengths to answer these questions. But when he does discover the truth – will anyone believe him? Cast: Stuart Townsend ("League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"): Carl Kolchak Gabrielle Union ("Something the Lord Made"): Perri Reed Eric Jungmann ("Not Another Teen Movie"): Jain McManus Cotter Smith ("X2"): Tony Vincenzo Credits: Executive Producer/Writer: Frank Spotnitz ("The X Files") Executive Producer/Director: Daniel Sackheim ("The X Files") Production Company: Touchstone Television MIDSEASON "Crumbs" (half-hour comedy) -- Family is enough to drive anyone a little crazy. Children keep secrets from their parents so they won't upset them, dads leave for other women and moms try to run over dads with the car. Actually, that was the point that the Crumb family realized Mom was crazy. Estranged brothers Mitch and Jody Crumb reunite in their small hometown to deal with their mother, Suzanne, who is being discharged from a psychiatric facility and has yet to discover that her ex-husband, Billy, is about to have a baby with his new girlfriend. They have issues… major issues. Central to everything is the dynamic between these two brothers: Mitch is the prodigal son who is returning home after a failed Hollywood career, and Jody is the older brother who has stayed in the confines of their small New England town to run the family business. Together for the first time as adults, this family will have to stick by one another despite their combustible relationships. The creator of "Caroline in the City" mines his own WASP family for comedy that's smart, funny and surprising. The series stars Fred Savage ("The Wonder Years") and Jane Curtin (two-time Emmy Award winner for "Kate & Allie," "SNL," "3rd Rock from the Sun") and is from the producers of "Smallville" and "One Tree Hill." Cast: Fred Savage ("The Wonder Years"): Mitch Eddie McClintock ("The Sweetest Thing"): Jody Maggie Lawson ("Pleasantville"): Andrea William Devane ("Knot's Landing"): Billy Jane Curtin ("SNL," "3rd Rock From the Sun"): Suzanne Credits: Executive Producer/Writer: Marco Pennette ("Caroline in the City") Executive Producers: Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola -- ("Smallville," "One Tree Hill") Production Company: Touchstone Television "Emily's Reasons Why Not" (half-hour comedy, Monday, 9:00 p.m., ET – after "Monday Night Football") – Emily Sanders is a successful young woman with terrific taste, great friends and a fabulous job in publishing. She didn't get to this place in life by accident. She worked hard and always followed a set of self-imposed guidelines referred to as the "Reasons"… reasons why not to take that new job offer, reasons why not to tell a vacation fling to look you up if he's ever in Los Angeles, reasons why not to trust your crafty, back-stabbing former assistant, Glitter Cho. However, when Emily crosses professional lines and gets involved with the roguishly handsome, two-timing author of their new bestseller, there's no denying that somewhere along the way her internal GPS system crashed. She's got to get back on track, and once again be heedful of the trustworthy reasons that help her navigate her way through life. Based on the bestselling novel of the same title, Heather Graham stars in this comedy about one independent woman's adventures in life, friendship, love and their infinite possibilities… Cast: Heather Graham ("Scrubs," "Boogie Nights"): Emily Nadia Dajani ("Ned and Stacey"): Reilly Khary Payton: Josh Smith Cho: Glitter Credits: Writer/Executive Producer: Emily Kapnek ("As Told by Ginger") Executive Producers: Gavin Polone ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), Vivian Cannon ("Thief"), Robin Schiff ("The Bad Girls Guide") Production Companies: Sony Pictures Entertainment, Pariah "The Evidence" (one-hour drama) -- People lie. The evidence doesn't. It's the foundation of every conviction – with evidence, justice is possible; without evidence, guilty men walk free. Acclaimed producer John Wells, ("ER," "The West Wing," "Third Watch") and director Gary Fleder ("Blind Justice," "Runaway Jury") put a twist on the standard police procedural. At the top of each episode, all of the clues (a locket, a phone, a severed finger) are revealed in a videotaped evidence log. The show then flashes to the day the crime was committed and invites viewers to play along with the heroes as they find each clue, determine its meaning, put the pieces of the puzzle together and figure out who done it. No one knows the importance of evidence more than Inspector Sean Cole. After he lost his wife in a brutal murder, the only evidence the cops had was accidentally destroyed, and it ruined his faith in the system. Fortunately his partner and best friend, Bishop, is there for him, pulling him back to work, pushing him forward, as they both try to solve these complex cases set against the beautiful streets of San Francisco. Cast: Orlando Jones ("Mad TV," "Runaway Jury"): Cayman Bishop Nicky Katt ("Boston Public"): Inspector Sean Cole Martin Landau ("Ed Wood"): Dr. Sol Gold Credits: Executive Producers/Writers: Sam Baum, Dustin Thomason Executive Producer/Director: Gary Fleder ("The Shield," "Runaway Jury") Production Company: John Wells Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television "In Justice" (one-hour drama) -- There are a lot of procedurals on the air that focus on putting people in jail. This is a show about getting them out. Every year, hundreds of innocent men and women get convicted of crimes they didn't commit. Sloppy police work. False testimony. Biased juries. In the blink of an eye an innocent man can lose his life to the mistakes of an imperfect system. And every year the number of innocents who live without hope behind bars multiplies, while the real criminals walk free. The innocent have finally found a champion in a blustery but charismatic attorney named David Swain. A legendary litigator, Swain is the head of the Justice Project, a high-profile, non-profit organization made up of hungry young associates who fight to overturn wrongful convictions, liberate the falsely accused and discover the identity of those really to blame. Whether the ego-driven Swain is doing this in the pursuit of justice or publicity remains to be seen. Thank goodness he has his partner, crackerjack investigator and ex-cop Charles Conti, to keep him honest. He's the serious to Swain's swagger, and together they work to rectify the mistakes of the justice system one case at a time. Using real life stories as inspiration, the producers of "life as we know it" have created a legal drama reminiscent of "Reversal of Fortune," in which clients who are presumed guilty must ultimately be proven innocent. Cast: Jason O'Mara ("The Agency"): Charles Conti Kyle MacLachlan ("Twin Peaks," "Sex and the City"): David Swain Constance Zimmer ("Good Morning, Miami"): Brianna Daniel Cosgrove ("Beverly Hills, 90210"): Jon Larissa Gomes: Tina Credits: Executive Producers/Writers: Robert King and Michelle King Executive Producer: Stu Bloomberg ("life as we know it") Production Company: Touchstone Television "The Miracle Workers" (one-hour alternative series) -- "The Miracle Workers" are an elite team of physicians who embrace revolutionary medical treatments that many of us never knew existed. Each week the show will focus on a single patient with a serious medical condition and follow as this dream team of medical professionals changes his or her life forever through treatment. The team will utilize their extraordinary expertise in cutting edge medical technology to restore not only the health but also the hope of the patient. Each episode will feature some of the world's most renowned medical experts performing breakthrough procedures to heal those who need it most. For individuals who otherwise would never have access to elite medical specialists or the ability to afford costly procedures, "The Miracle Workers" will make possible what was previously thought impossible. Credits: Executive Producers: Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, co-heads of DreamWorks Television; David Garfinkle and Jay Renfroe from Renegade 83 Entertainment Co-Executive Producer: Bill Guttentag Production Companies: Dreamworks Television and Renegade 83 Entertainment "Sons & Daughters" (half-hour comedy) -- Family is always unpredictable, so why write a family comedy when you can live dangerously and improvise instead? Like real families, you never know what will happen when you give characters total freedom. Adult siblings Cameron, Sharon and Jenna have many years of shared history in this small town. Like every other family on the planet, their history includes many mistakes. This is proven by the multiple marriages and many children in their close extended clan. Sharon has postponed her mid-life crisis for the sake of her kids, but her sexless marriage, slacker son and nosey daughter don't make things easy for her. Jenna, the youngest, wanted to be a singer, but instead is a single mom who still lives at home. Luckily her parents love babysitting their grandson. Middle child Cameron, despite having kids from two marriages and a difficult relationship with his oldest son, Henry, is the glue that holds the family together. With all the messy interpersonal relationships, rivalries and religious differences, everyone needs someone to be the family's designated driver. Leading this three-ring family circus is executive producer Lorne Michaels, the comedy veteran behind the long-running "Saturday Night Live." Cast: Fred Goss ("Significant Others"): Cameron Walker Gillian Vigman ("Mad TV"): Liz Walker Alison Quinn: Sharon Fenton Jerry Lambert: Don Fenton Desmond Harrington ("Taken"): Wylie Blake Corri English: Jenna Halbert Dee Wallace ("ET, the Extra Terrestrial"): Colleen Halbert Lois Hall: Aunt Rae Noah Applebaum: Ezra Walker Alexandra Gold Jourden: Marni Walker Trevor Einhorn ("BASEketball"): Henry Eden Sher: Kerry Greg Pitts: Tommy White Max Gail ("Barney Miller"): Wendal Halbert Credits: Executive Producers/Writers: Fred Goss, Nick Holly Executive Producer: Joanne Alfano, Lorne Michaels ("Saturday Night Live") Production Companies: Broadway Video in association with NBC Universal Television Studio Director: Fred Goss "What About Brian" (one-hour drama, Monday, 10:00 p.m., ET – after "Monday Night Football") -- Brian is the guy everyone wants as a best friend. He's the guy who'll stand by you at your wedding, drive you to the hospital, cheer your kids on at their little league game... the guy whom every wife dotes on and every husband wants to either grab a beer with or live vicariously through. But as all of his friends pair off and Brian emerges as the last bachelor standing, questions begin to arise in his head: Is there such a thing as Mr. or Mrs. Right? Why does love have to be so complicated? What is his problem with commitment? And the most pressing question of all -- could all of his problems stem from the fact that he is harboring a crush on his best friend's girl? At 34, Brian is the last single guy in his group of friends: his best friend, Adam, was going to break up with picture-perfect Marjorie, but proposed instead. Brian's sister, Nic, and her boy-toy husband, Angelo, are trying hard to have kids. The bohemian Dave and Deena have three little girls and no sex life. And, like all married people, they can't wait for Brian to join their "club," though they're not exactly sure why. As for Brian, well, he's a serial monogamist but still holds out hope that one day he'll open the door and be blinded by love. "What About Brian" is from the producers of "Lost" and "Alias" and the screenwriter of "City of Angels" and "For Love of the Game."

He has written for Time, Newsweek, Men's Health, and the New York Daily News, and has been featured in other publications including People, Essence, Ebony, Cosmopolitan, and University of Chicago Medicine on the Midway.[4]
Dr. Ian's July 2010 newsletter on the 50 Million Pounds website revealed that he was appointed to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition.

change display of ISPServices Monitoring
If I manually add a service to be monitored all manually entered entries are displayed as
how can I change it so instead of etc I canspecify a name?
Wouldn't that be a nice adition so I can actually see at the first glance what I am monitoring?
yes but take this as an example: I had some problems with sshd some time ago when first testing ispcfg and I set up monitoring of sshd with the proper action (restart) to be taken when it went down, same goes for other services I want to monitor, I'd like to see at a glance what I am monitoring, not a list of etc...
of course I cann select web instead of others but then I will see 3 times web being monitored and still do not know what exactly I have set up for monitoring...
got my point?
edit: or maybe we can just modify the list where one ca nselect: web, mail, etc. maybe just add stuff to that lsit?

Many things can be said about Dave Eggers' latest novel, The Circle, the story of an ingenue's improbable rise at a technology company that's like the unholy lovechild of Google and Facebook.
Most of the hype surrounding the book focused on how this literary giant was going to take on the Twittering classes. Finally, someone to call bullshit on all this social media.
Eggers delivers dire warnings through the book's two male moral centers — an artisan chandelier maker and a mysterious founder of The Circle, who sexes up the young female protagonist in an office bathroom. Both oppose unfettered interpersonal transparency and communicating through social networks. We are clearly supposed to as well.
This point is driven home with dystopian intensity. Social media isn't just bad for people, we discover. It can kill. Or leave you in a coma.
The plot follows Mae Holland, who is hired into The Circle by her best friend from college, an executive who softens up governments across the world on behalf of the company. Holland is a customer-service rep, which means she deals with local businesses who buy ads on The Circle. This job is demanding, but Holland is excellent at it, which is to say, we find out her stats are really good. Unfortunately, she doesn't immediately integrate herself into the all-encompassing social world of the company, in part because she loves kayaking alone and her father is suffering from MS.
Meanwhile, the company launches a product called SeeChange, which, as far as I can tell, is just a smallish, cellular-connected webcam, but that Eggers presents as an epochal event. Everyone suddenly wants to watch live feeds of random places.
(Caution: spoilers ahead.)
Personally, Holland is torn between three men: her ex-boyfriend (the chandelier maker); a coder with premature ejaculation problems who videos a handjob she gives him; and a sexy, long-fingered mystery man who we later find out is the technical founder of the company.
Thanks to her friend's connections, her excellent performance, and some productive misbehavior, Holland is swept upward to become The Circle's public face. She begins to carry a nearly-always-on camera and becomes a livestreaming celebrity.
Eventually, she is implicated in the death of her ex-boyfriend Mercer when she sends a search team after him when he goes off the grid. Mercer, harried by the magpie-like drones pursuing him, commits suicide by driving off a bridge. Her best friend suffers, too. She slips into a coma from the stress of a company probe of her family history, which reveals some unsavory genealogical events and some humdrum failings in her parents. (How does this send her into a coma? Good question.)
The Circle itself, meanwhile, chugs toward "completion," the day when they capture all meaningful data, roughly. And there is an ill-advised detour into thinking about The Circle's impact on politicians, voting, and democracy.
All the while, an awesomely heavy-handed metaphor looms above all. The company's CEO is an explorer and he's returned from the Marianas Trench with a transparent, ravenous shark. You see, the shark is like The Circle! It eats everything and everything turns to dust. The many shark scenes are obvious and tortuous.
Which brings me to my primary complaint about the book: Everyone is so credulous and naive about The Circle, including Holland herself. I've never encountered anyone who is so dumb and unthinking about social media as roughly all the characters in this book. Middle schoolers tend to have a more nuanced understanding of "openness" and "transparency" on the Internet than Eggers' characters.
Internet users, en masse, have taken steps to limit "openness," in the Zuckerbergian sense parodied in the book. SnapChat, which is popular with the very youth who are such suckers in Eggers' world, succeeds exactly because it doesn't generate the kind of persistent data Eggers fears. Instagram locked accounts are basically the norm at this point. Hell, Google itself has created a social network in which most sharing is private.
Not that there aren't problems with all of these companies and solutions, but they're not the problems that Eggers diagnoses. His fundamental conceit is that people don't know or understand the tradeoffs they're making with social media. But the existence and popularity of all these other networks argues otherwise. People know that controlling access to themselves and their data is a way of exerting power, not just vis-a-vis the platforms, but among themselves. Being open, at certain times, can help you move up in the world, but everyone who has ever masturbated understands the limitations of the paradigm.
For all the time Eggers spends writing about social media, he does not understand the different strands of its appeal nor the complex relationships people already have with all the extent platforms.
Eggers (rightly) skewers the quantification of relationships that can occur because of the design of social media. Holland focuses relentlessly (at the behest of her company) on the metrics surrounding her social media performance, known collectively as her PartiRank. As critic Evgeny Morozov would predict, the quantitative aspects of her experience begin to push out her other ways of knowing life. There's some truth in how this work: The crackle associated with a "hit" that racks up a lot of likes or retweets feels good.
But the focus of The Circle, as a book, is only on the quantifiable elements. Nothing interesting ever happens during her social media life. It is purely an obligation. Not once do we see her engage with an idea or a person from her social media following, except people trying to get jobs at The Circle.

A month after suspending a planned dividend increase, Bank of America said Tuesday that it has finished reviewing its capital figures and has submitted a new plan to the Federal Reserve.
The announcement ends an internal financial examination after Bank of America discovered it hadn't properly accounted for types of debt securities inherited in its 2009 acquisition of Merrill Lynch. That led the Charlotte bank to overstate its capital by about $4 billion.
Bank of America had already won Fed approval for a quarterly dividend increase from 1 cent to 5 cents per share, and a $4 billion stock buyback, but the miscalculation forced the bank to scrap its plans. Bank of America said its new capital plan would return less capital to shareholders.
The bank brought in a third party to review what led to the mistake. Bank of America said Tuesday that the review resulted in another small adjustment to its capital. The new change was less than one basis point.
The Federal Reserve has 75 days to examine Bank of America's new plan and decide whether to approve it.
Spokesman Jerry Dubrowski said the bank is continuing to look into how the error occurred.
Bank of America shares rose more than 3 percent Tuesday, closing at $15.21.

5 Social Security Tips For Couples
"Assuming health is good, married couples should hold off until at least full retirement age (66 or 67) before taking any benefits," Koehnen says. "Taking it before this time will result in a permanent reduction that could mean missing out on significant dollars, depending on how long they live. I recently ran an analysis for a client, which showed that if they both waited until full retirement age and ultimately lived until age 85, they would receive over $150,000 in additional benefits."
For healthy couples who would like to maximize their lifetime payout, Koehnen recommends delaying the collection of benefits -- with the exception of Social Security spouse's benefits, as you'll read below -- until age 70 if possible.
3. Delay Social Security benefits for the higher earner
If one spouse was the major breadwinner for the couple, that spouse may want to delay receiving monthly retirement benefits from Social Security longer than their partner. Doing so can help guarantee that the surviving spouse will collect as large a benefit as possible when the other dies.
"The spouse with the higher monthly benefit should postpone collecting Social Security as long as possible, but not beyond the age of 70," says Michelle Tucker, a certified financial planner at Tucker Wealth Management in Honolulu, Hawaii. "The object of postponing is to maximize your benefit and this higher benefit will be paid to you for life and continue for the life of your surviving spouse."
4. Consider a file-and-suspend approach ...Using a file-and-suspend strategy is one way couples can reap an oft-overlooked perk: Social Security spouse's benefits. For example, if both spouses are eligible for benefits and one opts to file and suspend while the other doesn't file at all, it allows the nonfiling spouse to claim a spouse's benefit as both of them continue to let their regular benefits grow. If the couple intended to delay collecting anyway, this monthly spouse's benefit effectively equals free money.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The only point where I could see it being useful would be gold advantage. Sometimes even down in kills, you're not sure between farm, dragon, baron, etc where you stand in gold vs the enemy team. Typically gold is the most common indicator of which team is winning and/or will win a team fight.
Spectator mode could be used to better tell exactly how strong the enemy team is compared to your team.
Still, I think its a minor advantage at best.

Funding the New Hampshire
Fish and Game Department
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department uses revenue from fishing and hunting license fees, federal funds and other sources to accomplish its broad mission of conserving, managing and protecting the state's fish, wildlife and marine resources and their habitats; informing and educating the public; and providing opportunities for people to use and appreciate these resources.
Fish and Game's budget sustains the full range of habitat and fish and wildlife management tasks, plus conservation education, law enforcement, search and rescue, and more. All of these functions are essential to ensure that we can effectively serve the wildlife and people of New Hampshire.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department faces a major funding shortfall. The Department is funded through the end of the current biennium, but without legislative action, Fish and Game will not be able to adequately fulfill its responsibilities going forward.

Current Status: In 2013, the Legislature provided stopgap funding in the budget to keep the Fish and Game Department whole for the current biennium, which ends on June 30, 2015. Budget bills were passed that made some funds more accessible to the Department in a variety of ways, including making a one-time transfer from the State General Fund to the Fish and Game Fund of $699,000 for FY 14 and $893,000 for FY 15.
Future Funding Solutions
The Legislature established a Legislative Commission to Study Opportunities and Options to Improve the Sustainability of the Fish and Game Department tasked with finding future funding solutions for the Department. This Commission includes members of the House and Senate, the Fish and Game Executive Director Glenn Normandeau, Fish and Game Commission Chair Ted Tichy, and three members of the public appointed by Governor Hassan. The Commission made an initial report in 2013, and has reconvened in 2014, with a new report due November 1.

As the Legislative Commission works to find new ways to raise revenue for Fish and Game, many ideas are being considered. We don't yet know what the answer is, but we do know that the financial situation for the Fish and Game Department is serious.
A strong commitment is needed from the public and the Legislature to work together to identify a solution and pass the necessary legislation to keep the state's fish and wildlife agency strong and effective.

Erin Mapes: Art Teacher by day, indie designer by night!
July 19, 2010
Erin rocks! She is a public school art teacher for her "day job" and designs, explores and creates for her store erinmapes.etsy.com by night.
As Erin so beautifully described herself: I hand-knit scarves, hats, and other items, and upcycle old clothing into bags. I try to live my life in a simple, peaceful, and environmentally conscious way, and my craft reflects that way of life. I call my work "environmentally conscious" because I try to keep the environment in mind when making my work. Sometimes that means using all-natural materials or buying materials from local sellers. Other times it means saving materials from becoming trash by reusing, recycling, or upcycling, whichever you prefer to call it. Like I say on my site, I believe that with a little creativity, you can find a use for almost anything.
I personally find that refreshing and on the cutting edge. It's motivation to where we should all strive to be on our crafting adventures.
Check out some of the items in her etsy store! Again, here's that link! erinmapes.etsy.com

Make a tassel already!
July 18, 2010
Have you noticed that here at Darn Good Yarn we've become a little nuts about our sari ribbon. And oh the varieties! Check them out here!
Recycled Silk Sari Ribbon Tassel
This one I love! I was futzing around thinking about making a nice tassel. So, I did! I also beaded up a little strand of lime green seed beads and tied them around for extra embellishment. It was the perfect finishing touch. Use these to tie back curtains or tie around a pillow or you can just hang them on over guest hand towels– the possibilities are really limitless. Just don't be afraid of color! Make a smaller one and use it as a pull on a light or a fan. Or you can make a mini one with a long tail and turn it into a bookmark. What a great gift!
For the tassel pictured you'll need:
You'll need 1 100g skein of Darn Good Yarn's Around the World Sari Ribbon. You can also substitute this skein with the variety of other sari ribbons Darn Good Yarn carries. They come in solids, mixed prints, eye-lashed, and silk varieties.
CD Case or heavy cardboard that has the same dimensions (this determines the length of the fringe of the tassel so you can make it as long or short as you'd like)
Fishing Line
Seed Beads
1) Wrap the yarn around the CD case (or heavy duty cardboard). Do this until it bulks up to your desired "poofiness". For the tassel pictured, it was about 25 times.
2) Cut the remaining ribbon
3) Take a 7 inch piece of ribbon and thread it through one side of the loops. You need this because you can use this ribbon to attach it to whatever you had in mind. Make it longer if you say had curtains that were very bulky. If you are having a tough time getting the ribbon through the loops, go ahead and go to step 4 and then carefully go back to this step.
4) Slide the recycled sari ribbon off the CD case.
5) Cut another piece of ribbon about 6 inches in length. This will tie the tassel together. So, tie it close to the top of the loops you just passed that ribbon from step 3. Make a neat and tight square knot for this part. this is especially important if you're not going to add additional embellishments. You can tuck the ends of this ribbon underneath this band to make them lie flat.
6) It should really look like a tassel now! But you must cut and trim the bottom loops. Make sure to get them all and arrange the recycled sari ribbon so there is equal poofiness.
7) Go ahead an embellish as you see fit. Get funky! Try beads, buttons or leave it as is.

KNIT: 1/2 Ball Headband
April 16, 2010
OK give it a second… there is a video you should watch that will load right here.
This cool headband is super easy to make and it only takes a 1/2 a ball of Darn Good Yarn's Premium Recycled Silk Yarn.
So, you can use size 5 needles and it will make a nice tight stitch.
On DPNs or circulars, CO 3 and make an i-cord for about 4 inches (or however long you want the tie tails to be and how you're going to tie it in the back). Remember, as you break the silk in and wash it, it will stretch a little so if you're not sure, go shorter.
After you have the first side of the tie done, you'll start some very simple increases by making one at the first stitch and last stitch of the row for every row until you have the desired width. I brought mine out to 11 stitches. You can increase in your favorite fashion. Your hair will cover it up probably so don't worry too much. I like KFB (knit front and back).
Now, here is where you get to be creative and you should think about how many stitches you should have on your needles now. You can go straight garter (all knit stitches) or you can really play around with the stitch pattern. Remember to account for the number of stitches you have on your needle. For example, double moss stitch (which is fun and easy and doesn't allow for too much stretching) is created in multiples of 4′s so you would only want 12 stitches on your needles.
If you started on DPN's and you haven't moved your work onto straight needles you can do that now. If you're on circulars, you can keep the work on there. You're not joining the work in any way but working back and forth as you would on straight needles.
Put your work down for a second and measure your head. Where are you going to wear your headband toward the front of your hairline, behind your bangs? Measure it from the middle of your left ear, over your head, the the middle of your right ear. This is a great approximation of how long the body of your work should be. Again, remember, there will be some breaking in over time so while it seems short, it's not.
About 12-13 inches will do though in case you don't have a tape measure handy.
So after you've knitted the body up, start decreasing one the first and last stitch of the row down to where you have three stitches. Straight needles users, put your work onto DPN's and circular needle. Make up that i-cord for the same length you made the first one. Bind off and weave in any ends of course.
You're done… that was easy yes?
KNIT: Free Basketweave Baby Blanket

Hubbardton Forge - The Modern American Blacksmiths.
Hubbardton Forge, American manufacturer of hand forged iron lighting fixtures, first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. The Vermont based company scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade in order to revive the nearly forgotten craft of hand-forging raw metal into functional art. Today, they have established themselves as a company whose products are recognizable for their quality, timelessness, and functionality.
Hubbardton Forge's designs are classic, elegant, and original. Form and function are inseparable in every piece. From heavier gauge metals, custom turnings and superior internal components, to environmentally sound powder coated finishes, Hubbardton Forge strives to create structural integrity ... products that will endure.

WASHINGTON (CBS) The Senate has confirmed the daughter of slain President John F. Kennedy to be U.S. ambassador to Japan.
Caroline Kennedy won the Senate's unanimous endorsement late Wednesday shortly after it voted to end a partial shutdown of the government and extend its borrowing authority.
Kennedy was nominated for the ambassador's job by President Barack Obama after playing a role in his re-election campaign. At her confirmation hearing last month, she promised to carry forward her father's legacy.
Japan is the U.S.' fourth-largest trading partner and home to the Navy's 7th Fleet and 50,000 American troops. Kennedy's father battled Japanese forces as a Navy officer in World War II.
Caroline Kennedy was five days shy of her sixth birthday when her father was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963.

Kinetically assembled nanoparticles are fabricated from an advanced class of bioactive macromolecules that have potential utility in counteracting atherosclerotic plaque development via receptor-level blockage of inflammatory cells. In contrast to micellar analogs that exhibit poor potency and structural integrity under physiologic conditions, these kinetic nanoparticle assemblies maintain structural stability and demonstrate superior bioactivity in mediating oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) uptake in inflammatory cells.
