A broker who represents the seller and who starts giving legal advice to the buyer about the implications of certain provisions and the law of that state has likely crossed the line into the unauthorized practice of law.
A buyer who relies on the legal advice of the seller's agent is a fool.
I am not an attorney so I can't comment on your first part except to say that I haven't believed that pointing out the parts of the agreement labeled as pertaining to the seller and/or the buyer is "practicing law". It is a good point and I am going to research it further.
For the record, I suggested that Julie ask her broker any contract questions that she is signing with him about what is in his contract. To my knowledge, she is not dealing directly with the seller or the seller's agent.

Holland Professional Driver William Trimble Reaches Astounding Three Million Mile Safety Record
HOLLAND, Mich., Oct. 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Holland professional driver, William Trimble, was celebrated for reaching an astounding safety record as he has successfully logged three million consecutive miles without a single preventable collision.
To reach this outstanding achievement requires a lifetime commitment to safety. There are 477 active Holland professional drivers on the road who have reached the safety milestone of driving over one million consecutive miles without a preventable accident, and 169 active Holland drivers who have reached more than two million consecutive miles without a preventable accident. William is one out of four active Holland drivers to have achieved the remarkable three million milestone.
William has been driving professionally for 37 years and has been with Holland for nearly 25 years. The son of a professional truck driver, he developed a passion for trucking at a young age. He later served in the military as an Army Engineer, where he manned formidable vehicles and secured multiple "Driver of the Month" awards from the Army.
William currently operates as a linehaul driver out of the Holland Rockford, Ill. service center and usually logs at least 3,000 miles per week. He attributes his ability to keep up with such a demanding schedule to a healthy diet and a commitment to proper rest. "Through his excellent service and sincere concern for the future of Holland, Bill is a real asset," said Rick Varga, Rockford Terminal Manager. "He is sincerely dedicated to providing our customers with the very best that Holland can offer. It is a real pleasure working with Bill." "The most important thing when you get in your truck every night is to always respect what you're doing," said William. "Once on the road, you need to constantly be aware of what's going on around you and never let your attention slip. You have to not only drive your own vehicle, but also remain aware of everyone around you and watch for potential hazards -- always keeping safety the number one priority."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I'm French (living in London) and am appalled by this pathetic campaign, though I wasn't expecting much in the first place.
This country has formidable assets, human and otherwise, which is why it has managed to muddle through for the past 30 years without being downgraded to GIIPS status, but I think the time of reckoning has come, and it's probably too late.
Don't overestimate political calculation, those people are really convinced that all their troubles with bond markets only stem from the hostility of evil Anglo-Saxon media and hedge funds (be ready to hear much more of that this year).
As usual, the French hide behind their fashionable egalitarianism a deep veneration for old money, and nobility old and new (the socialist 'elite' who despises bankers from their central Paris houses and chauffeured cars, all courtesy of the taxpayer of course). People who actually create wealth and employ others shall be bludgeoned into submission and say thanks afterwards.
This can't go on forever, and it won't.
On top of what others have said here, I'll add this: I have found that at every level of discourse in France, it is assumed that economics is a zero-sum science. If there are too many unemployed young people, we need to make older workers retire to make room for them. If there are too many poor people, we need to take from those who are not poor to redistribute. If the Germans/Brits/Americans/Chinese are stealing our jobs and exports, we need protectionism to keep those jobs and exports at home.
I have found this absolutely everywhere I have ever looked in France, whether in the news or when casually talking to any person of whatever social class, education level etc. I have not yet met a Frenchman who grasps that the economy is a dynamic process that mostly works by creating wealth, rather than by sharing an existing finite pot of gold.
My hunch is that this dates back to Colbert, and it is also my hunch that every single candidate firmly believes in this today.
I'm also French and living in London, and I agree with most of your views. But it is so easy to look down on France when we are sitting comfortably in our armchair in South Kensington.
This might be getting a bit too personal for an economic article, but I worked at a customer service of the Galeries Lafayette this summer and saw many French expatriates complaining about the paralysis of the economy and mentality. At first I agreed, but a more experienced (and former expat) colleague told me: "those guys hate France when they're earning millions. But sometimes, when catastrophe occurs and their fortune is lost, they come back 'tail between the legs' for some state generosity. And suddenly they're very glad to be back."
Still, that doesn't excuse the hatred of wealth-seeking, which indeed is completely silly...
I am a stinky frog too! Remember that this article quotes French businessmen who are worried about the lack of pragmatism among the electorate. They are not in finance.
I respect your views on finance and find them pertinent. But before having formed your opinion on finance, have you understood what it does completely?
Deregulation is not simply a deed of the devil, it vastly enlarges the market. This is what has allowed the PIIGS and France to borrow debt very cheaply for all this time. Cut France out of financial markets, and the French government has only its own people to count on for the purchase of its debt. That means much less debt emission, or huge borrowing costs. Then we can see goodbye to our super welfare state.
What I love about this article is that we French tend to forget that a super welfare state requires a lot of wealth creation. We love equality and welfare but hate those who seek enrichment. Can we not see that the former requires the latter?
All said here is a joke.
SArkozy is everything but gaullist he is liberal and atlantist.
France was at the height of the world in 1900 because it was a free and equal country and you can feel it in the air.
That is why the most famous artists that sells now for millions came in paris and not london.
France has failed in the last five years because of dramatic incompetence of its leader:no idea,no ideology and autocratic attitude
to hide it destroyed the country.
The ousting of Lauvergeon at areva and the dismantling of the nuclear industry more for personal reasons and political feuds
than anything else is the best example.
France is no germany it needs a strong state with big industries
to build big projects because FRance is built like that.
Very good knowledge from schools is morphed into big projects like
concorde,the France,the TGV and the nuclear industry is how it succeeds.
Trying to build it into something that do not fits its strength
is just plainly foolish.
UK is in such a miserable state that it is not in a good position to give lessons.The murdoch scandal with ties between "newpapers",
politicians and the police is the best example of how scleroses
this society is.
Just shut down tax heavens and the city and the UK is dead.It has massively benefited from the economy Financialization in the last 30
years that nearly destroyed the world in 2009,but behind this the country is so weak because it is still ruled by a king,an elite
that all it can do is cut the state and returning more and more
in the middle age.
I assume that you believe what you say. Your analysis is a good one for anyone who still believes that the free market economy is the better solution for the world to run properly. I won't stand alone as an enemy of financial power and wealth but I think that you should keep in mind that most of French people can't bear that finance gets better consideration and money than work. The problem of French people lies here. This is the main reason why French politicians don't talk about austerity in favor of the financial wealth. We Franch people (because I am one of those stinky frogs which never washes in your clichés) made a revolution nearly 250 years ago to kick out rich families raising their fortunes on people labour. It is quite astonishing that during this long time all the ruling economists did not understand this. Worst, they encouraged our own economists to think the way they do. The wealth of financial power depends on people working for bread and shelter whether you like or not. If this very people refuses to work for finance, what becomes of it?
entrepreneurs are discouraged by the social charges most of all.
100.000 a year sounds great when your current income is 15.000. But what about when you've worked very hard to make a company grow and you've greatly contributed to the economy by creating jobs? Shouldn't you be rewarded for that? What if your dream was to build a magnificent house, or buy a beautiful flat in central Paris?
Take someone who earns 100.000 a year with a big job in a very big company. This person is sustaining a business, making sure verything is run okay, not taking many risks, not creating much, just preserving value.
Then that person is offered a risky job to launch a new company, a new concept that could create hundreds of jobs if it is successful. Will that person take the risk if success will not increase his/her pay, but failure will certainly diminish it?
What is the real issue about taxing at 75% the income above one million euros per year? Can this really discourage entrepreneurs from running their business in France? I can't believe they can be so greedy. And how many people actually reach such an income level?
Who needs one million euro per year anyway? In France, you can live a pretty comfortable life with only 100.000 euros per year, enjoying the good food, the inexpensive and high quality medical system, and the almost free educational system for your children.
Quote: "we French tend to forget that a super welfare state requires a lot of wealth creation" Don't you love it when someone spells out exactly what you've been thinking for years?
Actually, I am not sure if French people so much "forget" as simply "don't know" that wealth needs to be created before being redistributed. We may grossly overestimate our countrymen's understanding of the most basic arithmetic and economic concepts right there.
France does have problems to solve, but the image that is given here is profoundly misleading, if only because it is not put in perspective. By and large, France's fundamentals are healthier than the UK's for instance, and the French economy is less subject to Anglo-Saxon style boom and bust cycles. Unlike the UK it still has a manufacturing base and a diversified economy. Unlike Germany it is politically savvy and capable of throwing its weight around without p... off everybody for no gain at all. As for its relation to free markets, probably it could have done better during the good times if it had been more free-market oriented (and had satisfied those Anglo rating agencies who have done such a good job in helping to ruin the world economy) but it would sure as hell be doing worse now.
Also, from my francophone but non-French perspective, I find in interesting that TE can see through the politicians' political theater but fails to see that the same goes for the electorate. The French like to play revolutionary, but in the end they always go for the safe pair of hands, which in most cases is centre-right. There has only been one leftist president since the Fifth Republic's creation for instance, and he was elected when he passed himself off as a rural centre-right "notable" on his election posters ("La force tranquille", with "la campagne" and a belfry on the background...) The French want to hear all the "républicain" blabla during the campaign, and having been satisfied with the required theatrics, they consistentlty choose the reasonable solution. Even the 35 h has turned out to be a reasonable policy, as it has effectively blocked salaries for years now...
It is a bit puzzling to hear French people patting themselves on the back about their 'diversified' economy, so much so that it is almost a cliché now.
I refer you to the IMF 2010 data on PPP GDP by sector (usefully copie on Wikipedia). Among the top 35 economies, guess which is the one where industry represents the smallest rate and services the greatest? It's France. And with quite a large margin.
The fact that France has some famous car brands and the UK has some famous banks is more 'advertisement' than representative of any underlying economic truth.
you adopted the anglo-saxon carricature of the french way though
Quote: "So he's not "just" a farmer." No, he is not. He also happens to be a graduate of l'Ecole Normale Supérieure, who has avoided the pollies factory known as the Ecole Nationale d'Administration. Not your typical farmer, indeed.
You rightly point out one aspect of the article that I found disconcerting; namely, the few words dedicated to covering his campaign so far. While I find it significantly less inspiring, forthright and uncompromising than his 2007 run (I find his "produire en France" slogan quite ambiguously protectionist, or at least not clearly liberal enough for my liking), he is still the only prominent candidate who has committed to meaningful spending cuts. Which is a lot more than can be said about every single other pretender/contender out there.
Come on, Monsieur Bayrou, don't be shy and put your European integrationist, social-liberal, decentralising platform out there. Your putative voters (such as me) as well as more casual voters will be grateful. Ambiguous posturing should be well below your lofty aspirations.
More generally, while it is hard to translate the editorial line of a foreign publication into an explicit backing of a French presidential candidate, I would have thought Bayrou would be the Economist's logical choice. Then again I thought the Lib-Dems would have been TE's horse in 2010 so what do I know, really... :)
Well said. And you could apply your example not just to entrepreneurship but also to salaried work. Would a talented professional work very hard to create value for the company, in the hope of getting a promotion (and the logical bump in compensation), knowing that 75% of *some* of that potential extra income would be taxed? Tough choice.
I think ensuring that the current tax code is simplified, sanitised and made much more difficult to circumvent is a far higher priority than punishing people for working hard and being good at their jobs.
France needs more rich people (who pay their fair, non-punitive taxes, of course), not less. Likewise, we need to lift more people out of poverty, and creating jobs for them is the only realistic way to achieve that.
If it were not for a small scandal in a hotel room less than a year ago, Dominique Strauss-Kahn would probably be the front runner and anointed French President.
Fortune is a strumpet.
Let us start in the eighteenth century, something of an improvement on your (sour) grape-shot approach.
The visit of Adam Smith to France from 1764 to 1766 is comparable in intellectual consequence only with that of Montesquieu in the other direction. Travelling as tutor to the young Duke of Buccleuch, Smith visited Paris, Toulouse and much of the south, met Voltaire several times, and also carried out research on French taxation and trade, partly to diagnose the weaknesses that had caused France's defeat in the Seven Years War (1756-1763). These researches and exchanges – 'the most exciting passage in Smith's intellectual development' – helped to shape his Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776),
Adam Smith was considered by many to be something of a Physiocrat. These economic theorists believed that government policy should not interfere with the operation of natural economic laws and that land is the source of all wealth. Adam Smith went along with the first part, but rejected the second. He was also sceptical of 'men of system'. For him, the individual instinct for self-betterment would serve the general good 'in the natural course of things', as if by 'an invisible hand'. 'It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.' So economic freedom was not only right, it was also efficient.
His ideas were taken up by early leaders of the French revolution. Yet, as the intellectual historian Claude Nicolet noted, Smith's ideas and those of the Scottish Enlightenment generally - 'the birth-certificate' of modernity - have not taken root in French political culture. Smith's vision was of a constantly changing world without certainty or superior authority. This view of things offended the more systematic French mind-set.
The whole French way of doing things was 'top down'. Traditions of economic control (commonly ascribed to Louis XIV's minister Colbert), Catholic paternalism, republican patriotism, and later the Bonapartist emphasis on state-directed modernisation all bear witness to this mind-set.
Smith's vision had also aroused fears of social upheaval during the long aftermath of the revolution. Hence French distaste for what a recent prime minister, Edouard Balladur, described as the 'law of the jungle'. Above all, it was the French revolution that forsook the modern emphasis on individual liberty in favour of an idealised picture of the citizenship of the ancient world. Republicans condemned Britain ('Carthage') as a selfish commercial society, and praised France ('Rome') for upholding nobler values. Two centuries later, this arguably still marks France off from the Anglophone world.
Eloquently and, sadly, accurately put.
Although I am not so sure that politicians actually believe their own words when the promise to wage war on bond markets (a pointless, counter-productive and obviously lost battle if there ever was one) or "spéculateurs" (a politically-loaded word that often means ordinary people who save for their retirement, mortgage deposits, children's education, etc.). Witness François Hollande's own stark contradictions between his speeches in London and in Le Bourget.
Same holds for the right.
I think all realistically electable candidates know very well that they are merely pandering to profoundly idiotic, misinformed, and selfish voters who are unable or unwilling to acknowledge the (in)consequences of their demands (ever more redistribution of ever-stagnating, if not frankly shrinking wealth).
In a democracy, we get the political class that we deserve. That is a serious indictment of French society today.
I can understand that high social charges can be a real problem, but I'm still not convinced that the 75% taxes for the income above 1 million euros per year will be so bad.
You write "success will not increase his/her pay". That is quite inaccurate.
Let's consider some Madame Martin, having a big job, earning 100.000 euros a year. We agree that this enables her a quite decent standard of living (I know by experience that it is possible to live in Paris with less than one fourth of that and still be happy despite having a small apartment, but I reckon I don't have a family to raise).
Let's assume that Madame Martin is offered a risky job that would multiply her income by 10. That would reach the million euros per year. With only 1 million euros per year, Madame Martin will still escape the 75% tax level. If by chance she manages to earn an extra million (that would represent a 20-fold increase in raw income compared to her initial situation), the 75% tax would apply and she would in fact only keep 250.000 euros from this extra million.
That is still more than the double of her initial raw income (and this is what remains of the extra million: the other million will be taxed at a "normal" rate: most probably less than 50% overall).
Don't you consider this a good reward?
Do you seriously think that Madame Martin will not take the risk just because the increase in income will be too low compared to a situation without the 75% tax?
Now let's have a look at the income repartition for 2010 in France:
tinyurl dot com: income2010-pdf
The average yearly income for the 10% richer people in France is slightly above 100.000 euros. So in her initial situation, Madame Martin is already among the 10% richer people in France.
And if we consider only the 1% richer, the average is slightly above 360.000 euros per year: even with only a 10 fold increase of her income (which is not enough to reach the threshold for the 75% tax), Madame Martin will be among the 1% richer people in France.
Do you seriously believe that a significant part of the employment in France is created thanks to people among the 1% richer of the country (and especially by those that are greedy enough to consider that a 75% tax on extra income will be a good reason for not taking extra risks)?
Take also into account the fact that public employment is important in France: all these jobs do not directly depend on the initiative of Madame Martin-like people (not to mention the rare people that are already millionaire). On the contrary, these jobs depend on taxes. Better tax a double millionaire at 75% on his second million and create 10 jobs in the public sector than leave the taxes at 50% and hope this will encourage a millionaire to create more jobs than he/she would create with the 75% tax.
Being afraid of Hollande's 75% tax seems quite irrational.
Given the above-mentioned income distribution, even with the 100% tax that Mélenchon wants to apply to the income above 360.000 euros per year, 99% of the population of France may still hope an increase in their pay when they take a risky job.
and we may never know the 'small' scandals of the others
It's more than just that. A market economy is no simple deal. A tax of 75% on anything above 1M euro's will apparently leave the lower and middle class untouched, but that is not the case. Because beyond the small entrepreneur and your average salaried worker, you also need to rely on big bussines. Those are the big exporters, the big producers, and the revenue they generate creates more opportunities for the aforementioned small entrepreneurs and salaried workers.
Those big industry companies are already leaving France. Just take France's automobile trademark, Renault. A while a go they bought the Dacia factory here in Romania, 2007 I think, and now they are considering opening a new factory, in *drum roll* Morocco. This is very representative of how big government and big labour influence big bussines. It doesn't redistribute wealth, it drives it off. A 75% tax on income over 1M will only drive up this process even further.

Navigating Doctors Idiosyncrasies - page 2
So back story. . . I had a 32 yr old female patient that was a direct admit around 2300 for hematuria. We call the doctor and get orders for a CT abd/pelvis w + w/o contrast, insert three-way and... Read More
0Mar 22, '13 by psu_213, BSN, RNQuote from AltraThe only issue would be the 3 way. If they have CBI, they would be admitted. Most of the pt's in the ED who have Foleys placed for urinary retention are sent home with f/u with urology. However, hematuria pt's are occasionally admitted if the doc is concerned if the foley will just get clotted. I can go either way, in my experience. Anyway...OT but ... admission for this? Unless there was intractable pain / nausea, this sounds like an outpatient workup.
As for the original scenario, there is basically no way I would have called the doc back for orders for an HCG and a BMP (I would say that a CMP is not really necessary just for kidney function--although I'm a bit surprised the doc didn't order either a CMP or BMP to being with). As JBudd mentioned, in the ER, we are fully expected to just order these if a CT with contrast is ordered.
I also find little (to nothing) wrong with this scenario. -
1Mar 22, '13 by psu_213, BSN, RNQuote from AltraYeah, I don't view not wanted to woken up during the middle night as an idiosyncrasy. I think it is a basic human response.I don't see this as a physician's "idiosyncrasy" ...Altra likes this.
0Mar 24, '13 by whitecat5000, RNQuote from AltraYeah, she was admitted because there was pain with urination and she kept passing quarter sized clots with much difficulty.I don't see this as a physician's "idiosyncrasy" ... I just see it as learning to recognize protocols and requirements for diagnostic testing and so forth.
OT but ... admission for this? Unless there was intractable pain / nausea, this sounds like an outpatient workup.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

This stuff smells AMAZING. The scent is by far the best part about it and the only thing that makes me want to repurchase. It is a pretty good scrub though but I won't be repurchasing because the texture of it is extremely similar to what you get when you combine sugar, olive oil, and honey. Because of this, I feel like it is a waste of money because you can make the exact same thing yourself for cheaper.

I luv this!
- can use all over body and has oil so it's very moisturizing.
- exfoliating beads are thick and there's alot of them so it exfoliates very well
- has a delicious smell and is 100% natural
- can only be used on face when it's super dry, or it'llmake it really oily
- a little expensive
- WARNING: CAN GO BAD!!! - it's happened to my sister who left it in teh bath tub for 3 weeks- and didn't touch it
but otherwise it's a great natural amazing smelling scrub
This is actually a really good scrub. The texture is the perfect balance between coarse and moisturizing. And when I use it, even though I've got extremely dry skin, lotion is almost unnecessary. Almost. This gets my elbows and legs super smooth. I like the pieces of berry in it as well, as they remind me that this isn't just a bunch of fragrance oil and dye.
My only beef with it really is that I subjectively didn't love the scent. Red berries can get a bit medicinal for me, and this was no exception. But I'd advise others to give it a try (and a sniff if you can smell a tester at Whole Foods or elsewhere), as a good non-toxic scrub available at the drugstores is rare.
I have put off buying any scrubs because i usually make my own but this caught my eye at cvs. I needed a change from my usual concoctions. this was totally worth it. I used it in the shower on my face which has been really flakey looking lately. I know that sugar has natural exfoliating properties beyond just the gritty texture and this looked like it would smell great b/c of the cranberry. It worked awesome and smelled delicious! Yes, it does leave behind an oily feeling at first, but this is what i wanted b/c my skin is so darn dry. i didnt want to dry it out more by using a harsh drying scrub. My homemade scrub feels much the same after using and then the oils sink right in to moisturize your skin. There is no way that i am going to venture into making a scrub with pomegrante and cranberry at home, so I am happy to repurchase when this runs out and I want to change things up a bit.
First of all, the smell: smells like rancid oil and vomit. My jar was purchased brand new from Ulta, and the safety film inside the jar was sealed tight when I first opened it. However, I think this had turned/gone off.
Second: the oiliness! This leaves behind a thick layer of grease all over the body, the bath tub, clogs up my razor, etc. I felt like I was getting ready to swim the English Channel, I had so much grease on my skin. I had to re-wash with another product before I could leave the shower. That much oil would have stained and ruined whatever garments I put on, not to mention the towels I used to dry off.
As an exfoliator, it worked fine, but I couldn't get beyond the smell and feel of this. I'm actually going to throw this away rather than finish what's left in the jar -- it's that bad.
I love it this- the natural fruity scent, scrubby little particles and the softness of my skin afterwards... feels like I'm treating myself to a spa treatment. so reasonably priced and natural too.
Pregnancy hormones have really played a number on my skin. I couldnt afford to go to the beauty counter and buy what I was looking for, and wanted a thick rough body scrub to get the taut feeling out of my skin. This was recomended to me by a Walgreens employee. I came home and was so excited I had to open it and use it right away !! The first time I used it I did it as a dry scrub just to get a really good exfolliation, so I used a little more than usual. It was amazing !! It left my skin feeling moisturized and soft, no more dry and taut feeling to my skin. Put on a bath robe and read a book and just let the moisturizers soak in !!! I wish Burts Bees made a moisturizer in the same delicious scent, very fruity, and refreshing I think. 1 lippy off for the amount you get in a jar for the price that it was.. It wasnt my usual 32.00 body scrub, but I get the same amount for that price. I think for 14.00 there should be a little more product. Overall VERY satisfied !!

I love the healthy ingredients, I love the cranberry smell and the deep red colour is fun. As for exfoliation, the sugar is really fine, quite densely packed giving a good scrub - fab on feet. There's no need to moisturise afterwards, it's full of rich oils that remain on your skin for the rest of the day. Downsides: leaves bath slippy, doesn't last long.
I'd definitely prefer Exfotonic (which is Discon now) and or Soap&Glory Flake Away. The exfoliating beds are gentle and I can feel instant smoother skin afterwards. However, this softness is not long-lasting while the essential oil consisted stay all day long on my skin. I feel oily and smell so oily as well. So, I don't like it especially at this price.
I am so surprised that there are not more reviews on this sensational product. I love, love, love this amazing scrub ~ It is a delicious delight. It's probably the best DS scrub that I have ever purchased. I haven't tried this on my skin, other than my feet. During the winter, I took a bath every night, so I didn't have any problems with cracked, dry feet. When summertime arrived, I had some cracks on my heels that needed immediate attention.
This scrub is gritty, smells excellent, and the sugar granules along with my pumice stone, gave me the softest, crack free heels. I will be using this scrub all summer long. I love oily, gritty scrubs, the oilier the better for me and my feet. Use extra caution when showering, so not to slip or fall. I will definitely buy this product again...

That's great work indeed. I have just tried pygxw with the provided demo.
That said, I think that the behavior should be more customizable. From what I
saw, the default behavior is circle-move, and with Ctrl it becomes up/down. I
also saw that this behavior can be inverted with gx_set_knob_jump_to_mouse().
There isn't really fine-tuning AFAICS. I mean, to be consistent, one may want to
have up/down by default, and fine-tuning up/down with Ctrl (no circles).
IMO, this widget, although very cool, is similar to the phat knob. It works well
for the specific purpose it was designed. But it lacks several options, in order
to satisfy the various tastes mentioned on this thread.
Also, the phat knob, with its large orange/blue border provides better
visualization IMO. I am however quite sad that in both cases, phat and libgxw,
no SVG source is provided.

ISTJs are the behind-the-scenes workers who make things happen. Their sense of duty and loyalty means that they will rarely be happy in the front, preferring to be in the engine room. ISTJs are the sensible, prefect type of characters, who want to get it right and "do good." Their value to the team is protection—from mistakes, from omissions, from self-delusion, and from going off-track. ISTJs love seeing things come to fruition. Ideas, complexity, and imagination are of value only if they lead to a practical end result.
ISTJs need to be clear on what is expected so that they can plan and work with consistent and steady energy toward completion. Opinions are slowly arrived at and, consequently, will be well thought out, tried, and tested. ISTJs are not prone to bursts of emotion, flying by the seat of their pants, nor will they thrive in a chaotic environment—unless they have the opportunity to formalize it!
Logical, detached, and detailed, ISTJs pride themselves on their store of data and knowledge, all arrived at with clinical procedure and experience. They take great care not to get it wrong, and they like everyone to take responsibility for their actions—and their mistakes. Serious-minded, individualistic, and thorough, ISTJs may focus so much on the task that they forget the needs of others—including themselves. ISTJs like to plan, schedule, and drive through to completion in a logical, linear sequence. Any deviation from the plan would be questioned and may take some convincing of its merits.
• Serious and quiet
• Action-oriented
• Responsible and trustworthy
• A "no-nonsense" person
Areas of Growth
• Consider other possible solutions.
• Be open to the "big picture."
• Make time for fun.
• Listen more to those around you.
The basic attitude of ISTJs is things are what they are and little can be done to change them. ISTJs tend to be quiet, very serious, and concerned about procedures and rules, especially when others are not doing their duty.
• Organizing facts and details to accomplish a goal
• A quiet workspace with few interactions
• Clear and stable structures
• Being in control of work schedule
• Deadlines
• Being asked to change something with no rational reason
• Requirement to do things in an inefficient way
• Being asked to "wing it"
To function at their best
They need organization and structure in which to work. Projects to complete and tasks to accomplish. Opportunities to organize and preserve data or materials. An understanding of their role.
ISTJs are consistent and can be easily frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when these others don't adhere to their commitments or agreements. They do, however, usually keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. But when asked, they are unlikely to mince words, facts, truth, telling it like it is, which they believe will always win over tactfulness. Serious-minded, individualistic, and thorough, ISTJs may focus so much on the task that they forget the needs of others—including themselves—as their focus can be laserlike and intense. Others may see them as slightly cold and impersonal, possibly even uncaring. This is merely focus but can alienate those trying to get close.
Their decisions are based on what makes the most logical sense, and this can mean the feelings of others may not necessarily be factored into this process. ISTJs often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. It is possible for ISTJs to express emotional warmth, but not without depleting their energy resources. They will then have to move out of the spotlight and spend time alone, drawing energy from within. They are factual and need time alone. The more effusive extrovert types may find that a little difficult and, at times, disconcerting.
Detached and factual, ISTJs often find it difficult to deal with emotions, as they see these as irrational and illogical. When others display emotions, they have to translate the emotion into factual language that they can understand. Deep and private, ISTJs will tend to keep their own feelings to themselves and until they have the measure of people will be unlikely to proactively share their feelings. Too much interaction sucks their energies. ISTJs like people to stick to agreements and commitments and may not understand that this is human nature, not human deficiency, as they themselves take such commitments incredibly seriously.
ISTJ at work
ISTJs value protection at work—from mistakes, from omissions, from self-delusion, and from going off track. In a team situation, ISTJs will bring order, clarity, organization, and planning. Although introverted and so not the most vocal member of the team, ISTJs will seek to make sure the team is best placed to move toward a "known" conclusion in a thorough, planned, and detailed way, without deviation from the plan.
Consummate planners, ISTJs love seeing things come to fruition. Ideas, complexity, and imagination are of value only if they lead to a practical end result. ISTJs will be great at spotting flaws in arguments, missed details, and preventing the team from haring off in the wrong direction. They seem to have a built-in immunity from getting excited, so they will bring a strong sense of reality and factualness to the team. This may not be inspiring, but it will add so much value in the longer term, as ensuring agreements are adhered to and things progress according to the plan.
Sure, they may not be the one coming up with the ideas or keeping the momentum going, but their role is primarily protector, and in that, they will be invaluable to the team. They excel at analyzing problems and evaluating ideas and suggestions, so the team will be better placed to make balanced decisions. In a team environment, ISTJs will be unemotional and factual. They may not be motivational or strongly vocal, but they are superb at analyzing problems, evaluating ideas and suggestions, and weighing the pros and cons. Teams will be better placed to make balanced decisions with an ISTJ there.
ISTJs bring a strong sense of planning, agreeing objectives, and ability to work steadily toward closure. They will excel at ensuring everyone is clear on what is expected—everyone will know what the plan is and their part in it—and in ensuring that the plan is enacted. They are more task- than people-focused.

Canada's House of Commons has recessed. Members of Parliament aren't scheduled to return until September 17, 2012. By then, Bill C-12, An Act to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (short title: Safeguarding Canadians' Personal Information Act) will have been on the order paper for almost a year, having been introduced in the House of Commons on September 29, 2011. The Bill doesn't appear to be moving any quicker than its predecessor, which died when Parliament was dissolved in March 2011.
Bill C-12 would give effect some of the legislative reforms recommended following the last 5-year review of PIPEDA (which happened more than 5 years ago!). If the Bill could ever get some traction and make it into force, it would (among other things):

Does release work? What are your experiences with it? Thanks, Megan
Does it Work? - Release from GNC?View Full Version : Release from GNC? MegonWW 11-29-2005, 11:47 AM Does release work? What are your experiences with it? Thanks, Megan MrsJim 11-29-2005, 01:25 PM I had a really hard time finding this through a Google search but finally found their website (the marketers selling it use GNC in their website, but GNC does NOT mention this product on their regular website, even though the Release website shows that some GNC stores carry their products). The site doesn't list prices either...I guess I *could* call one of the GNC stores listed as carrying the product (my local GNC isn't listed, BTW) and find out how much they charge, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were asking at least $150 for their 'system' - it IS GNC after all, and usually "diet systems" = spend a lot of money for something worth a fraction of the cost. So anyway...the Release system for women consists of three bottles of capsules; the "morning formula"'s key ingredients are Caffeine, Green Tea Extract, Magnesium Salicylate, Theobromine, Synephrine, Yohimbine Bark Extract, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Calcium. (a few vitamins/minerals, and a TON of stimulants...the first 6 ingredients are stimulants) The "Afternoon Formula" has L-Tyrosi (http://www.vitacost.com/science/hn/Supp/Tyrosine.htm), Magnesium Salicylate (this is basically ASPIRIN!), Theobromine (http://web1.caryacademy.org/chemistry/rushin/StudentProjects/CompoundWebSites/2003/theobromine/default.htm), Guarana Extract (http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1154), Caffeine, Synephrine (http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1257), Yohimbe Bark Extract (http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1287). (more stimulants) The "Evening Formula" contains Citrin K (http://www.eas.com/glossary/glossary.asp?glos_pk=352), Psyllium Husk (http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1220), Valerian Root (http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1270), Ho Shou Wu (http://www.herbalremedies.com/he-shou-wu-information.html), Turkey Rhubarb (http://www.motherearthherbs.com/rhubarb.html), Cascara Segrada (http://www.iherb.com/cascarasagrada.html), Senna Extract (http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/s/senna-42.html#med), Piper Nigrum (Black Pepper). (laxatives, sedatives - some of these really pack a punch...) Plus NOW for a limited time :carrot: they will give you a "$50 value" bottle of "Censor" which apparently is an overpriced CLA/Fish Oil capsule: Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Gamma Linoleic Acid, Alpha Linoleic Acid, Eicosapentaenoic Acid, Docosahexaenoic Acid, and Omega 3-6-9 Blend (CLA, Fish Oil, Flax Oil) Look...there's nothing in these products that you can't get elsewhere. And at least one of the ingredients (Yohimbe) while lauded as a weight loss supplement and 'herbal Viagra' hasn't been proven to do anything. Valerian is not supposed to be consumed for more than 2 weeks at a time (see link). Apparently, the Release "system" consists of hopping you up on stimulants in the morning and afternoon, then putting you to bed with a dose of laxatives and a little herbal sedative. Ahhh legal speed...but it's natural, so it can't possibly be bad for you...right? :rolleyes: (I just found another page from the company actually selling this - they are asking $164 for the "system" :eek: ) Personally, I'd give a BIG thumbs down on this. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

($44) Medium ruby. Roasted black fruits, kirsch, gunflint, smoke and game; distinctly syrah-like and not at all tired or overly oaky. Then thick and deep, with urgent, penetrating flavors of sappy black fruits and spices. At once powerful and pliant. Finishes very long, with fine, broad tannins. I preferred the Reva syrah in 2000, but this year the grenache seems even deeper and sweeter, with a larger structure. Also tasted: 2002 Viognier Alban Estate Vineyard Edna Valley, 2001 Roussanne Alban Estate Vineyard Edna Valley.

Also wondering if anyone has used Amazon Whisper cast, if it's even available in the uk
Hi edugeekers,
Our school is looking at getting some kindles for our library and just wondering if any of you have any experience with these and how you are managing them.
Also, we have bought an ebook from amazon and our aim was to put it on a laptop for a student to use. Problem being that the student needs to log in to the amazon account (which is linked to the school card) every time they open the kindle app, is there a way round this, as we obviously can't give the student the school's Amazon account details?
We have only bought one book, so if anyone has any suggestions to a better e-reader solution I'm all ears
Also wondering if anyone has used Amazon Whisper cast, if it's even available in the uk
We're looking into doing the same thing here, so will be interested to see what solutions others have come up with.
Whispercast is currently only available in the US. I did get in touch with the whispercast support team and have pasted their response below:
Currently, Whispercast is only available in the U.S.
If you live outside the U.S. and are interested in sending Kindle content to multiple devices, we recommend gifting the content. Gifting Kindle content allows you to purchase content and send it to other users. To gift a Kindle book, visit the Amazon.com website and click the Give as a Gift button that is located under the Buy button on the Kindle Store product detail page. Youll be prompted to enter the recipients personal e-mail address, a short message (optional), and choose a delivery date.
You can find more information about Kindle book gifts at:
Amazon.com Help: Give and Receive Kindle Devices and Books
I haven't as yet investigated any further with this so look forward to reading how others have approached it

Sierra Nevada "Celebration Ale"
Sierra Nevada Brewing Company - Chico, California USA
India Pale Ale (ABV 6.8%)
[Best served in a Shaker glass]
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Aroma: 7/10
Appearance: 3/5
Taste: 8/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 14/20
The pour was a clear dark amber brown with a large (2-3 finger) off white rocky head that lasted throughout and had some really good lacing.
The aroma had a moderate dose of pine hops, a generous portion of grain and barley malts and a soapy yeast with notes of caramel, citrus and some nice wintery spices (clove and coriander I believe).
The taste was mildly bitter with a note of caramel and just a little orange at first then became moderately bitterer and a bit hoppy with notes of grapefruit and a big dose of spices at the end. The flavor lasted a nice long time after the swallow with a nice strong hop presence and a touch of spice.
Mouthfeel was right between light and medium in body and a bit dry in texture with a nice lively carbonation.
Overall a nice full tasting hoppy ale that had everything it needed to make a wonderful Winter Seasonal.

Creative whiz kid will focus on projects outside the marketing world.
Ad industry icon Alex Bogusky is stepping down from MDC Partners to focus on projects outside the marketing world.
Bogusky helped solidify Crispin Porter + Bogusky's reputation as probably the hottest U.S. creative shop over the past decade, exemplified by its sometimes creepy interactive concepts. Under his direction, the agency has produced such celebrated digital work as Burger King's "Subservient Chicken" and "Whopper Sacrifice," anti-smoking campaign TheTruth.com, and Best Buy's Twelpforce - essentially a customer service initiative - in 2009.
"We have enjoyed a long and tremendously productive partnership over the past ten years and have the utmost respect and admiration for Alex," said a statement from MDC. "We're confident that many important causes will benefit from his passion and brilliance, and wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors."
Bogusky joined the agency as an art director in 1989, when it was called simply Crispin and Porter, made partner in 1997, and became co-chairman in 2008. Under his guidance, it won national accounts such as Burger King, Microsoft, Volkwagen, and Kraft.
Earlier this year, Bogusky stepped into a broader role at MDC Partners, whose other digital holdings include The Media Kitchen, Dotglu, Hello Design, and Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners.
This year at the Cannes Lions festival, CP+B was awarded interactive agency of the year for the third time in just five years. Jeff Benjamin, chief creative officer for the Boulder, CO-based agency, told ClickZ that Bogusky was in many ways a natural with digital creative ideas, despite his relatively advanced age.
"I'm convinced if he had come of age [a little later], he would have been an interactive guy," Benjamin said.

We just ripped up all of the rocks in this space and plan to lay mulch down. The house is surrounded by pine trees so pine needles are a pain and its quite windy. There was a tree here at one time but it died, i think the roots had no where to go. we had to remove the tree when we moved in. Any ideas on what would look good here? This faces the south and gets plenty of sunshine. What type of mulch? I would love to paint the door, shutters and front porch posts a different color too. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks! |

Please post your location AKA planting zone, so we can make suggestions. Also, it would be nice if you walked to the road and gave us a wide view. |
A few suggestions (plants not specific as don't know where you are) ... Think I would paint door, door frame & posts just white. Shutters, one of the greyed teals. Explore color on one of the paint mfg. websites where you can upload photo (a better one w/ less shadows) and see changes ... like @ Valspar.com. |
Whatever you decide to do, put those rocks back in the mix, they are awesome!! |

Notebook: Flint's clutch leg, Costa's steady hand help save day
Here's a notebook I filed from Saturday's game:
UCSON, Ariz. — Oregon's 44-41 overtime victory over Arizona on Saturday would not have been possible without an excuse-me field goal by Morgan Flint and a clutch hold by Nate Costa on an extra-point attempt, both in the fourth quarter.
Flint, a senior from Bend known more for his accuracy than his range, matched his week-old career long with a 43-yard field goal to tie the game at 24-24 midway through the fourth quarter. The kick looked short off his foot but somehow spun through the uprights after hitting the crossbar.
"How far was that?" UO coach Chip Kelly asked postgame.
Upon being told the distance, Kelly said: "Well, that's his limit."
Flint later tied the game again at 31-31 with an extra point with 6 seconds left in regulation. The kick was routine, but only because Costa dug a low snap by Jeff Palmer out of the grass turf and made a perfect placement.
"Jeff's snaps are perfect, that one was just a little low," Costa said. "I got it up and Morgan made a great kick. …
"That was a clutch kick by Morgan. It was one of those things where, if we don't make that play we're all going to look like a bunch of jackasses. But Morgan made a great kick, and we salvaged it." Click here for the complete notebook.

Then sweet, silky, tactile and deep on the palate, with superb concentration and ripe balancing acidity. In a rather international style, but wonderfully sweet and balanced. Finishes with serious but ripe tannins and sexy oak tones. (Riviera Imports, LLC, Long Island City, NY)

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Publishers Weekly
In a magical blessing for unconventional girls, Gaiman (The Graveyard Book) addresses the "ladies of light and ladies of darkness and ladies of never-you-mind," asking them to shelter and guide an infant girl as she grows. "Help her to help herself,/ help her to stand,/ help her to lose and to find./ Teach her we're only as big as our dreams./ Show her that fortune is blind." Sinuous, rococo lines-the flowing hair, drooping boughs, winding paths that inspired the pre-Raphaelites-spread their tendrils throughout Vess's (The Ladies of Grace Adieu) full-bleed spreads, potent mixtures of the charms of Arthur Rackham, Maxfield Parrish and Cecily Barker's flower fairies. An Art Nouveau-ish font in a blueberry color compounds the sense of fantasy. On each page a different girl-short, tall, white, brown, younger, older-runs or jumps or swims, accompanied by animals meant to guard and protect her. Fans of Gaiman and Vess will pounce on this creation; so too will readers who seek for their daughters affirmation that sidesteps traditional spiritual conventions. All ages. (Mar.)

Crazy, he's from the town over from me, used to see him in the gym
Yeah jeets
So.... Eli's balls haven't dropped yet?
If we could get into the redzone more than once we'd prob see him
Fewell sucks , he always has
Fav thread title ever
Corey and Washington should fight to the death for the number one spot.
Lawl no, ring of honor or wtv guy sure.
Will rueben randle be benched this season
Gonzo recently said teams had contacted him bout coming back but wouldn't name the teams, I bet we were one of them
Lol if he could still play I'd be all for it, but I'm pretty sure he got blackballed by the nfl affter bountygate. Plus he's got some serious haters on this board.
Shots fired
What if Eli is just trolling everyone
A la drew Bledsoe
The problem is we can't wait 4 (or 1 for that matter) years for an "Elite" qb to be able to run this offense correctly, forget master.
Corn on the kolb
With regards to the offense I agree, Eli has me more concerned.
Hes signed through 2015, if he really sucks this year we will prob draft a QB early and eli will be a bridge
Lol thanks, Dave.
Maybe when they drafted nassib and said we hope this guy doesn't have to play for a long time really meant we thin eli COULD be declining but we hope not.
The issue with Eli if he is declining is...
He needs to replace we with I.
He has great touch on the long ball usually, short to intermediate he sails or ducks his balls. Something is wrong with this situation

If you are ready to die for your religious beliefs, does that make you a righteous person? Are you qualified to teach others your beliefs and judge their actions against yours? In the ultra-orthodox Hasidic communities after World War II, the imperative to "Be fruitful and multiply" took on a powerful urgency. If a young woman had thoughts of a life or education beyond the traditional, to act upon it meant she was dead to her family and friends. Mila was nourished by the community in which she lived, Atara suffocated by it. Each one, full of love and longing, had to choose what she wanted to be; neither's choice was neat. The repercussions may be felt for generations. (Nancy Engel)

The new Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS, decked in matte gray in the teaser, is definitely going to be a beast.

Compelling, full-flavored, regional Italian cooking and very attentive service define Casa Rustica, a local star for more than two decades, now under Fermin Martinez. The attractive, remodeled dining room is not so rustic, anymore. Whole fish cooked in salt crust, scallops with chickpea salad, veal chop Valdostana, bistecca alla Fiorentina, venison chop with berries, seafood salad, ravioli in pink sauce, agnolotti alla Piemontese, penne Bolognese, all risotti, cold antipasti are great, as are all pastries.

Fine Italian Dining
We opened in 1986, at the time hurricane Gloria was headed our way. Instead of hurting us, it helped us. Due to the many blackouts in our area, many people had no way of cooking, so they came out for lunch and dinner. Soon people started talking about the food and spreading the word about Casa Rustica. And the rest is history. We've been in business for 21 years and are highly rated for our food and service. We treat all our customers as if they were part of our family. And we would like to thank our customers for their loyalty to us over the years, without you we would not be here... MANGIA BENE E' SALUTE!
