Unexplained Experiences You Remember As A Child
Poster Handle

when I was a child no older than 5 or 6 I used to sit in the living room with my dad, he would sit in the recliner and I on the couch. Next to.the couch was a small end table and it always had my moms fingernail polish bottle on it. what puzzles me to this day is what I used to do with the fingernail polish bottle. I would place my finger roughly an inch and a half away from the bottle, press down a bit with my finger, and slide the bottle back and forth without actually touching it. I asked my dad how it worked and he said something about friction and from then on I couldn't move the bottle anymore. I vividly remember this and would love to re learn this skill.
Also a couple years afterwards we lived in an OLD farmhouse. One night while I was sleeping I awoke to a being standing at my window, second floor window. I wasn't afraid, I just watched as it transformed into different shapes or types of beings idk? it "flew" away after about 5 minutes or so leaving me mesmerized.

She's the most iconic TV talk-show host of all time, been nominated for an Oscar and even started her own eponymous television network.
So what else do you do when you are Oprah Winfrey?
"My dream is to do Broadway," Winfrey said today on "Good Morning America." "That is going to happen."
Winfrey, 58, made her Broadway dreams known while sitting right in the heart of "The Great White Way," inside the Times Square studio of "GMA," where she appeared as a special guest on the No. 1-rated morning show.

Winfrey's stop at "GMA," where she also photo-bombed fans and joined the "GMA" anchors at the anchor desk, came amid a busy fall for the talk-show legend who has not slowed down since ending her 25-year reign at the top of TV May 2011. Most recently, Winfrey has put her focus on the television network she founded, OWN, that stumbled in ratings at its launch, despite a much-anticipated debut.
"You know what the problem was? I wasn't there," Winfrey said this morning. "I wasn't surrounded by all of the people who I was accustomed to working with."
READ MORE: Oprah Winfrey Opens Up About Struggles With OWN Network
Winfrey says moving her longtime HARPO and talk-show executives to OWN and spending more time at the office herself has helped to turn things around.
" There were a couple of days back in the spring and early on that I asked myself, 'What have I done,' because I expected that it would be a lot easier," she said. "I expected that I would be able to go into the office every day or so. I expected that I would just call up people and do an interview when I wanted. It doesn't work that way.
"I think we're in the full turn now," she said. "For the past nine months, we've shown amazing growth and some really great shows. We're getting traction."

Helping the network gain traction is a mix of shows ranging from the celebrity and reality-focused menu of most channels – the recently announced "Life With LaToya" reality series featuring Michael Jackson's sister and an "Oprah's Next Chapter" with pop star Justin Bieber next month – to the more aspirational "Lifeclass" series.
"The Lifeclass is actually an anchor for our network," Winfrey said of the program that includes live events and an online component in addition to the TV broadcast, and will, this month, feature televangelist Joel Osteen in a two-part special.
"I actually heard a sermon that Joel Osteen had done called 'I am' and he said something that really struck me so profoundly. He said, 'Whatever follows 'I am' will come back to you,'" Winfrey said. "So I texted him and said would you be interested in expanding on that idea and teaching that for our audience and he agreed to do it.
"It is really what our brand stands for, enhancing people's lives, allowing them to be inspired for themselves," she said of "Lifeclass."
As for her Broadway aspirations, Winfrey's next stop on her path to the stage is a new movie directed by Lee Daniels about a White House butler who served eight U.S. presidents. The film, in theaters next year, has Oprah starring alongside acting greats such as Robin Williams, Vanessa Redgrave and John Cusack, and taking part in some much-buzzed-about sex scenes with actor Forest Whitaker.
"Thank you Keisha Whitaker for allowing that to happen," Winfrey said, referring to her co-star's wife. "It's just acting."

Cops Dealers Writers
Book Review - Busted: A Tale of Corruption and Betrayal in the City of Brotherly Love / By Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker
A little more than a month after the release of "Busted: A Tale of Corruption and Betrayal in the City of Brotherly Love" and five years after the incidents described by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker, a stunning update was released about four of the book's key players.
But first, "Busted:" a taut, fast-paced journalistic detective story in the tradition of "All the President's Men." Written in the no-nonsense style of Dashiell Hammett or Mickey Spillane, Ruderman and Laker steer the reader through a dangerous world of dishonest criminals and even more deceitful cops who rob, bribe, harass and sexually assault the public with impunity.
In December 2008, Ruderman and Laker met a drug dealer named Benny Martinez who had a story to tell that seemed ripped from a Hollywood screenplay. For the previous seven years he had secretly operated as one of Philadelphia's most prolific police informants, working hand in glove with respected narcotics officer Jeffrey Cujdik. But now Cujdik was out to kill him, Martinez claimed, because the two of them had conspired to fabricate evidence in dozens of cases. In the process, their lives had become dangerously intertwined.
"[Jeff Cujdik] allowed Benny into his life and routinely helped him out. When Benny told Jeff that he needed money for child support, Jeff gave him the cash," Ruderman recalls. "When Benny needed a job, Jeff got him a gig working for a cop friend who owned an air-duct cleaning business. And when Benny needed a place to live, Jeff told him that he could help him out."
It was this final act of misplaced generosity that ruptured the lucrative and unethical partnership between Cujdik and Martinez.
"Some of the cash that Benny earned as a police informant flowed back to Jeff in the form of rent money. This was against police department rules, and Jeff knew he'd get in big trouble if internal affairs found out."
When a defense attorney made the link between Cujdik's property and Martinez's place of residence during a trial, Cujdik moved swiftly to distance himself from his confidential informant. In doing so, he inadvertently set Ruderman and Laker on a trail that not only led to the falsified drug arrests he had made with Martinez's help, but an increasingly complex web of police corruption that extended throughout Cujdik's narcotics team. Each step in their investigation led to another shocking exposure of corruption, and their initial article on Benny Martinez and Jeffrey Cujdik gradually expanded to a 10-month series, "Tainted Justice," which ran in the Philadelphia Daily News in 2009.
Throughout their investigation, Ruderman and Laker faced opposition from authorities, including Philadelphia law enforcement, the FBI and the legal system. Cujdik's attorney, George Bochetto, spoke for many when he confronted the pair during an interview: "He couldn't understand why we would even consider writing a story based on the word of a convicted drug dealer turned informant. 'What do you guys think you are going to do? Win a Pulitzer Prize?' he sneered."
Though there are plenty of heart-pounding moments in "Busted," the most fascinating aspect of the book is the internal struggle that Ruderman and Laker engage in as they antagonize police officers, befriend drug dealers and skate along the edge of journalistic ethics. In the end, just like Cujdik, Ruderman found herself becoming ensnared by Benny Martinez's needy allure.
"Benny did a number on my head, and for the longest time, I couldn't disentangle myself from him," Ruderman writes, confessing that she bought groceries for him and holiday gifts for his children. Only Laker's intervention prevented her from giving him money. "She reminded me that it would be unethical and would cross the line as a journalist; she saved me from myself. Jeff didn't have the same oversight."
In the end, Ruderman and Laker won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting. Their work resulted in the removal of four police officers from active duty and an FBI investigation of the entire narcotics unit.
And that's where "Busted" leaves the reader. Corruption has been exposed, justice is imminent and the crusading reporters get Cujdik's sneering lawyer to eat his words.
"About a month after winning the Pulitzer, Barbara and I bumped into him at a state awards banquet. He sheepishly congratulated us," Ruderman recalls, her satisfaction bordering on glee.
But Cujdik and his lawyer may have the last laugh.
In April 2014, right after Ruderman and Laker's book was released, both the U.S. attorney and the Philadelphia district attorney decided not to prosecute Cujdik and the other three accused officers. They'd been busted, it would appear, but not beaten.

Don't Expect Too Much From Wheeler
In today's New York Post columnist Steve Serby discusses Zack Wheeler's first start, scheduled for the second game of today's day-nigh doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, with Mets great Tom Seaver. In it Seaver warns Mets fans not to judge Wheeler too quickly.
Seaver said the following (directed more toward Wheeler than to fans:
"It's not gonna happen in one game," Seaver said. "And you shouldn't think, 'Here I am for the next 20 years,' either. It might be a month, or two months, before you really understand who you are and if you can or cannot do this. This is a continual learning curve."
But just as Wheeler shouldn't expect greatness in game 1 of his major league career so should fans not expect it. One game does not make a career. With any luck Wheeler will be around for a while regardless of how he does tonight. So rather than set lofty expectations we should just sit back and enjoy.

Fun Again… At Least For Two Nights
I haven't posted much this season because there really hasn't been much to write about. Sure, if I were a professional writer I'd find what to write about but I do this for fun and not for work. But after the last two nights there is finally something fun to write about. Back to back come from behind wins against a team the Mets have no business beating.
This is not as much about beating the Yankees as some may think. I posted a year or two ago about how I don't view the Yankees as a rival. The Yankees play in the American league so they're competing in the standings with a whole other group of teams than the Mets contend with in the National league. The fact that they're in different leagues also leads to the teams playing a minimal number of games against each other and those are the only times they are direct rivals. Yes, the games are fun and capture our attention more but these teams are really not rivals.
Anyway, the Mets came back from a 1-0 hole two nights in a row to beat a better team 2-1. In the second game they managed to beat a pitcher in a way he had never been beaten before. Mariano Rivera had never lost a game in a save situation without recording an out and he's likely to never do it again. This does not make the Mets a better team than they were a few days ago but these were exciting games and made this team fun to watch again even if it was just a couple of nights.
But these games also showed more about what the Mets are lacking. Ike Davis continues to struggle. Ruben Tejada also continued his bad play which is now spreading to his fielding. Both of these guys would be given some time off if the Mets had anybody worth playing in their spots. And let's not forget how thin the outfield is.
Anyway, let's take some time to enjoy these wins but not too long. Next up is two more games against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium so this feeling may not last.

Should Ike Davis Go To AAA?
There's a lot of talk lately about Ike Davis possibly being sent to the minors due to his current slump. Honestly I would have no problem with this if not for one issue.
Davis proved something to me last season when he managed to hit 32 home runs. But he struck out 141 times too. Until he learns to be more disciplined at the plate he will continue to be a liability more than an asset at the plate. Am I surprised his batting average is as low as it currently is (.149 before today's game)? Yes. But his .227 in 519 at bats last year should have been an indicator that he still needs major work. If all things were equal I would have put him in AAA to start last year and kept him there until he proved to me that he could cut down on the strikeouts and bring his average up to a non embarrassing level.
Unfortunately not all things are equal and the Mets have very few (if any) options at first base. Rotating guys like Lucas Duda and Justin Turner at first is not a good solution.
And there is the problem. If Davis goes down there's nobody in the organization who could man first base in a passable manner until such time Davis proves himself worthy of the position (which could take a while). So Ike must stay because there's no other solution.

Santana Done?
The day we all feared has finally come. The Mets announced yesterday that Johan Santana has a recurrence of the same injury that kept him out for the whole 2011 season and likely has thrown his last pitch as a Met, possibly of his career. I actually did not have very high expectations for Santana this year but am sad to see it end this way.
The end of Santana ushers in the end of the Omar Minaya era (error?). He's the last of the expensive free agents Minaya signed to remain be with the team. Minaya was always in what I call "one player away mode" signing the one big player he thought would get the team over the top. The problem is that the team was actually more than one player away and Minaya's strategy led to a house of cards that quickly came crashing down when the wind blew in the wrong direction.
Now that Santana is out of the picture the Mets commitment to developing their younger pitchers will be put to the test. Hopefully this will not cause them to rush anyone along.

Atchison and Hawkins: Low Risk Veteran Presence?
The Mets have added two righthanders to the bullpen in the last 24 hours when they signed Scott Atchison and LaTroy Hawkins. To say that these are not spectacular signings is an understatement but these two could be of help. The level of experience in the Mets bullpen is lacking in experience. Names like Josh Edgin, Robert Carson and Elvin Ramirez hardly instill confidence. Jeurys Familia, while showing promise as a starter in the minors, is also inexperienced at the major league level.
At the ages of 37 and 42 respectively Atchison and Hawkins are still capable of contributing 40+ appearances each. And considering these are minor league deals with invitations to spring training there is minimal risk in these signings.

Backman To Manage AAA Again
In a move that didn't surprise me in the least the Mets announced today that Wally Backman will return as manager of their AAA affiliate which will be in Las Vegas this season. Backman guided last year's AAA affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, to a 67-76 record and has a career minor league managerial record of 601-564. The appointment shows that the plan to make Backman the heir apparent to the Mets managerial job is still in effect.

Mr. Met Doesn't Belong On A Cap
The Mets have redesigned their batting practice cap to feature Mr. Met on the front. I can sum up my feelings about this in three letters: WTF?!?!
I like Mr. Met as much as the next guy but putting him on the front of the cap is the wrong move. I know it sounds old school but the front of the cap is where the team logo belongs. If the mascot is going to be anywhere on the uniform it should be as a sleeve patch (which the Mets did with Mr. Met a few years ago). Thought I don't like the idea of batting practice caps since they are strictly for marketing ("buy all 6 of the caps the team will be wearing this season") I can understand the cap being less formal than a game cap. So if you must put Mr. Met on it put him on the side or the back where he compliments your main brand which is the team logo.

Dickey Deal Reportedly Done
Reports today are that R.A. Dickey has agreed to a contract extension which would allow his trade to the Toronto Blue Jays to be completed. Josh Thole and a "non-elite minor leaguer" will join Dickey in Toronto. In exchange the Mets will get catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud, catcher John Buck, pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard and either cash or another "non-elite minor leaguer". Dickey was reportedly headed to Florida for a physical with the Blue Jays today.
Putting aside the argument of if the Mets should have signed Dickey or not (that's a heated discussion in and of itself) this is a pretty good deal. With this trade the Mets manage to turn a 38 year old pitcher and underachieving catcher into a top catching prospect and top pitching prospect (plus a journeyman catcher) adding youth and shedding payroll in the process. These are the types of things you need to do to build an organization that can contend long term.
If the Mets were one player away (as they were after the 1984 season when they traded for Gary Carter) my opinion may be different. But the Mets with Dickey in 2013 are not likely to go any further than the Mets without Dickey in 2013.
Update: Latest reports say that the "non-elite minor leaguer" the Mets are giving in this trade is Mike Nickeas and the "non-elite minor leaguer" the Blue Jays are giving is 18-year-old OF Wuilmer Becerra.

Valdespin's Marlins Cap
Mets utility man Jordany Valdespin posted a few pics to hi Twitter feed today including this one of him wearing a Miami Marlins cap.
Obviously the cap has no bearing on where his allegiance is as a player but it is uncool. The last thing fans want to see is one of their players wearing another team's colors.

How to Measure
Measure your feet in the afternoon. Your feet can swell during the course of the day and impact the fit of your shoes.
1. Heel-Toe Length - Stand with one foot on a piece of paper and measure your heel-toe length.
Mark the paper at the end of your heel bone. Mark the paper at the end of your longest toe. Measure the distance between these two points. Repeat this process for the other foot. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, use the larger measurement to determine your foot size.
Remember, if you purchase shoes from soccerloco and they don't fit, you can return them within 30 days.

Money for Life
Helping to increase financial capability and money management
Money for Life is Lloyds Banking Group's award-winning £10 million financial capability and personal money skills programme which aims to equip communities across the UK with the skills and capabilities they need to make the most of their money. The programme is targeted at young people and adults in the Further Education, work-based learning and community learning sectors. We provide practitioners, support workers and tutors with the skills they need to talk confidently about money management, and to support their learners to stay out of debt and save for the future.
Money for Life aims to deliver vital financial capability learning where it is needed most. It equips practitioners across the UK with tailored resources to improve their confidence and knowledge of financial capability and enables them to pass on that knowledge to community and Further Education learners.
The programme consists of two core strands – the Money for Life Qualifications and the Money for Life Challenge.
In addition, we aim to support relevant research reports, industry and community events that seek to raise awareness of financial education issues across the UK.
Money for Life was shortlisted in Business in the Community's Building Stronger Communities Award and was awarded a 'Big Tick' in 2014 for the third year running.
Money for Life Qualifications
The Money for Life Qualifications provide accredited, fully-funded training to enable community support workers in the not-for-profit, public or further education sectors across the UK to embed personal money management skills at a local level.
Money for Life provides training resources to enable those interested in promoting financial capability within communities to gain Open College Network-accredited qualifications. Adopting a 'train-the-trainer' approach encourages sustainability of the money management skills and knowledge allowing them to become embedded in communities.
We have committed to accrediting 4,000 community support workers, through Teach Others and Money Mentors, to deliver money management on the front line by 2017
Through the Money for Life Qualifications the programme aims to:
- Deliver vital financial capability learning where it is needed most
- Equip community support workers across the UK with the skills, knowledge and resources they need to deliver effective money management and improve financial capability in their communities
There are three Money for Life Qualifications:
- Teach Others – for those who aim to educate groups of learners on financial capability in organised workshops
- Money Mentors – for those looking to learn how to give one-to-one support in money management
- Teach Me – for those who want to improve their personal financial knowledge before educating learners or clients
Find out more here - www.moneyforlifeprogramme.org.uk/qualifications/ or contact email@example.com
Money for Life Challenge
The Money for Life Challenge is a national competition open to groups of young people aged 16 – 24.
The Challenge aims to find the most successful and innovative ways of improving the money management skills of young people and their communities.
Groups of young people in further education, training or community organisations are encouraged to apply for a £500 grant to help them run a money management project in their community. 300 projects will receive a grant in 2014/15 and aim to compete in their National Final.
One group from each of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, North of England and South of England will then be chosen as the National Final winner, by an expert panel of judges, and go through to the UK Grand Final in London on 28 May 2015.
Each National final will also send a 'People's prize winner' to the UK Grand Final, to compete for the UK-wide People's Prize.

26 Tips for Enhancing Your Facebook Page
Are you looking for fresh ideas to enhance your Facebook efforts? Do you ever have days when you're not sure what to post on your Facebook page?
This can be a real problem if you've made Facebook updates an integral part of your communications strategy.
These are the times when having a ready-and-waiting list of Facebook ideas will come in handy. In this post I'll show you 26 practical ways to use good content for your Facebook pages, everything from A to Z.
7 Facebook Marketing Tips From World's Top Pros
It's no secret that Facebook is the most powerful social network on the planet. With 500 million active users, Facebook represents a huge opportunity for smart businesses.
To take your Facebook marketing to a new level, here are hot Facebook marketing tips direct from the top industry pros. You'll want to incorporate these priceless ideas.
The best way to get the most from Facebook is to model the best. Find out who's doing it right and getting real results, and model their strategies. Here are seven ideas from the top authorities in Facebook marketing. Take notes—these tips are too good to pass up!
4 Simple Steps to Control Your Facebook Privacy
Did you know that Facebook automatically lets anybody see every video, picture, and status update you've ever posted?
Whether you're using Facebook for business or personal reasons, the good news is that new privacy settings enable you to change exactly who sees what within Facebook. And those changes impact every prior post you've ever made.
New Facebook Privacy Updates
Public outcry over Facebook's complicated privacy settings hit a peak in the spring of 2010. See this AP video below:
How Starbucks Engages Millions of Facebook Fans
In this video I interview Alex Wheeler, Director of Digital Strategy at Starbucks. Alex shares how Starbucks built a Facebook community of over 7 million fans by asking their community to help them build their official Facebook page.
Alex gives you some useful tips on engaging customers on social media. And you'll hear details of how Starbucks uses video marketing on different social media channels.You'll also find out what Alex refers to as their "scrappy" approach to social media.
Be sure to check out some more takeaways below.
21 Creative Ways To Increase Your Facebook Fanbase
If you build a Facebook Page, will fans come? This is the great hope for many businesses. However, fans do not magically appear from the Facebook mist.
People must be lured to your fan page. And there are some good and bad ways to go about doing this. In this article, I'll share a big myth and 21 ways to drive more fans to your Facebook fan page. (Though Facebook recently changed the "Become A Fan" button to the new, omnipresent "Like" button – and a fan page is called a "Business Page" or "Facebook Page" – we can still call them fan pages and people who join are fans!)
The Big Myth
There's a great myth that once you create a Facebook fan page for your business, the first thing you should do to get fans is invite ALL your friends from your personal profile using the "Suggest to Friends" feature.
Five Facebook-Only Strategies For Business Success
It's hard to find a business participating in social media that isn't doing something on Facebook. In fact, "I want a Facebook fan page," has replaced, "I want a company blog," as the single most heard request from clients in the social media world these days. With 350 million accounts and growing, it's no wonder.
Facebook is one of my favorite places to recommend for businesses for a lot of reasons. The primary one is that Facebook offers almost of all the various social media tools that companies can apply to their brand.
Facebook allows you to participate without having to spend time or money on your own website. Still, few companies are using Facebook well. One example of a business doing it right is Ernst & Young Human Resources effort (brilliant). But for every good Facebook presence there's a brand page we like to call a "campground." Not because lots of people hang out there, but because all you hear when you visit is crickets.
To give you a leg up on getting smart with Facebook, here are five facebook-only strategies for business success.

January 26, 2015
Fuel prices are showing no signs of throttling back from their large and recent declines that started months ago, with oil nearly hitting a six-year low on Monday.
January 20, 2015
Fuel prices continue a big decline with diesel posting its biggest weekly drop in recent memory, according to U.S. Energy Department figures.
January 13, 2015
In the wake of diesel prices falling from an average of more than $4 per gallon nearly a year ago the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration has lowered its price forecast from last month's prediction.
January 12, 2015
The U.S. Energy Department reported Monday the average U.S. price for on-highway diesel fell another 8,4 cents over the past week to $3.053 per gallon. This is the lowest price since October 2010 and is 83.3 cents less than the same time last year
January 5, 2015
Diesel prices continued their recent and steep decline into the New Year, aided by oil prices that are the lowest in nearly six years.
December 29, 2014
The average price of on-highway diesel continued falling into final week of 2014, down significantly from its high for the year and hitting its lowest price since December 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
December 23, 2014
Since the summer, the price of oil has plummeted 50 percent, hitting its lowest level in more than five years about a week before Christmas. Diesel has fallen from a yearly high of $4.021 in March to $3.419 in mid-December.
December 22, 2014
The price of oil has stabilized over the past week, but is still at its lowest level in years, while fuel prices show no signs of letting up from their dramatic declines.
December 15, 2014
The average cost of on-highway diesel posted one of its biggest week-over-week declines of the year on Monday, hitting its lowest level since January 2011.
December 10, 2014
On-highway retail diesel are projected to average $3.07 per gallon in 2015, compared to this year's expected average of $3.82 and 2013's average of $3.92.
December 9, 2014
The average cost of on-highway diesel continues falling as oil prices hit its lowest level in years, according to new U.S. Energy Department figures.
December 1, 2014
Fuel prices started off the final month of 2014 in the same fashion they have been during much of the second half of the year, according to new U.S. Energy Department figures.
November 24, 2014
Diesel and gasoline prices keep moving lower while the price of oil has gained a little ground over the past week.
November 17, 2014
The average price of on-highway diesel fuel moved lower over the past week, after seeing its first increase since June last week, according to the U.S. Energy Department's weekly report on Monday.
November 10, 2014
The long ride of falling diesel prices has ended with the fuel posting its first weekly increase since late June, according to new U.S. Energy Department figures.
November 3, 2014
Fuel and crude oil are continuing down the road toward lower prices, hitting levels not seen in at least nearly two and half years.
October 29, 2014
U.S. Diesel demand will peak in 2015 and decline by as much as 12.5% through 2030 according to a report by energy market research firm PIRA Energy Group.
October 27, 2014
Fuel prices show few signs of stopping their recent decline, and if expectations about oil prices into next year come to fruition, the ride may continue for a lot longer.
October 20, 2014
On Monday the U.S. Energy Department reported the sixth consecutive drop in the average price of diesel, down 4.2 cents from last week to $3.656.
October 14, 2014
UPDATED -- Diesel fuel and gasoline prices in the U.S. continue moving lower with the national averages posting their largest weekly drops in quite a while.

Video & Audio Content
1. The contest is PG-13 (video & audio). Subtitles and watermarks will result in disqualification. Video length must be between 30 seconds and 6 minutes.
- At least 75% of each entry must be set to music.
- At least 75% of each entry must contain moving footage. Still images or text set to music are not permissible.
- Entries must not be shorter than 30 seconds or longer than 6 minutes in length.
- Your entry must be your own work and no one else's. Anonymous submissions cannot be accepted.
- The Connecticon Music Video Contest is rated PG-13. As such, all entries will be expected to follow the official MPAA ratings guidelines which define PG-13 as follows:
- PG-13 is thus a sterner warning to parents, particularly when deciding which movies are not suitable for younger children. Parents, by the rating, are alerted to be very careful about the attendance of their under-teenage children. A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13 cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special attention to this film before they allow their 12-year-olds and younger to attend. If nudity is sexually oriented, the film will generally not be found in the PG-13 category. If violence is too rough or persistent, the film goes into the R (restricted) rating. A film's single use of one of the harsher sexually derived words, though only as an expletive, shall initially require the Rating Board to issue that film at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive must lead the Rating Board to issue a film an R rating, as must even one of these words used in a sexual context. These films can be rated less severely, however, if by a special vote, the Rating Board feels that a lesser rating would more responsibly reflect the opinion of American parents.
- Please be aware that profanity in your music will result in your video's disqualification. "Profane" language is defined by the FCC as:
- Words that do not "describe or depict" a sexual or excretory activity may be profane, even if they are not indecent. Profanity is: a "personally reviling" epithet "so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance." Profanity consists of "the most offensive words in the English language, the broadcast of which are likely to shock the viewer and disturb the peace of the home." The profanity standard is a return to the idea that some words, such as the "S-Word," and the "F-Word," are presumptively prohibited. They have been excused only in news actualities and war movies.
- You may not use obviously pirated video footage, such as video where the subtitles or watermarks are visible, or a movie recorded from the screen of a movie theater. We often have industry guests from anime and film in attendance, and we do not want them to assume that the convention as a whole condones piracy.
- You are free to add your own subtitles where appropriate. Be warned, many people find subtitled text distracting and it may dramatically lower your chances of making it to the finals.
- Watermarks and other similar video artifacts will result in the disqualification of your video. Watermarks are the little emblem in the corner of video, often found on footage taped from TV or on fansubs. They could be XviD logos, TV station logos, or any other indication that the video source was not obtained legally.
- "Borrowing" clips from other fan-made music videos may result in the disqualification of your video. Utilizing uncut clips may be acceptable, but using footage which has been heavily edited or utilizes multiple special effects (without the permission of the creator) is very bad form and will result in disqualification from the contest.
- Inflammatory or questionable content (such as obscene violence or swastikas) MAY result in us not being able to show your video. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis and all situations will be assessed by the FMV Coordinator, staff, and the convention chairman.
- DO NOT include any title screens, logos, credits, or introductions before and/or after the actual video. All title screens, logos, credits, or introductions before and/or after the actual video will be cut from the screening and replaced with Connecticon's standard title screen.
2. Your video must have been completed in the last 2 years. Videos submitted to previous ConnectiCon FMV Contests are ineligible to compete. ConnectiCon does not have an "anti-trolling" policy.
- In order to keep the contest fresh, entries must be less than two years old as of the convention.
- Videos which have previously been submitted to Connecticon are ineligible.
- "Remastered" versions of videos which have previously been submitted to Connecticon are ineligible.
- An "anti-trolling policy" is a rule enforced by some conventions that prevents editors from submitting videos that have won prizes at larger conventions, or won a prize at any other convention at all. ConnectiCon does not choose to enforce this particular rule, but if your video has already won a prize at a larger convention(s), it may reflect poorly in your scoring by the judges.
Video Submission Format & Deadline
- The deadline for all submissions is May 31, 2015. All entries MUST be in our hands by that date.
- Late entries are ineligible for the contest, but may still be shown during a non-competition (overflow) music video screening if they are received in time and if scheduling permits.
1. Accepted Formats
- Your video must be encoded in one of the following formats: Uncompressed (only if you have to), Lagarith, HuffYUV, UTVideo, MPEG2, (H.264) MP4. No Quicktime, no RealPlayer, no WMV, no exceptions.
- Resolution must be 640×480 or higher. We can offer HD playback this year – resolutions up to 720p are encouraged.
- Audio should be in AAC, PCM WAV (44.1kHz or higher), MP3 (192kbps or higher), or for MPEG2 video, Layer 2 audio (224kbps or higher)
2. You may submit three videos to the contest if you are attending the convention, two if you are not planning to attend.
- Due to time constraints, contestants are limited to submitting TWO entries to the contest – unless you are attending the convention, in which case you may submit THREE entries. If you are not pre-registered by the FMV submission deadline, your third video will not be considered for finalist selection. If you plan on registering at the convention, you must provide the FMV coordinator with this information prior to the deadline. Your third video will be considered for finals, but if you do not attend the convention, it will be disqualified and a runner-up will take its place.
- If you worked with someone else in the creation of a video, that video counts as one entry for all people involved (although you only have to submit it once). For example, if you submit three videos that you created on your own to the MV contest and someone else submits a fourth video that you helped to create, that would count as a fourth entry from you for that specific contest and violate these rules.
- You may not submit videos under false names to circumvent our entry limit. Doing so will result in possible disqualification from this and all future Connecticon FMV contests.
- If you submit more than three entries, we will only view the first three entries.
Categories, Preferred Seating at the Convention & Prizes
1. Explanations of the 6 Categories
- The music video contest coordinator reserves the right to change a video category if it is judged that the video would fit better in a different category than the one intended by the creator. In such an instance the creator will be contacted in advance.
- On your submission form, you will be asked to choose your Category. If you're unsure of which category your video belongs in, select "I don't know" and our judges will decide for you. The categories are as follows: (descriptions courtesy of the A-M-V.org VCA awards)
- Romance - This video best employs both audio and visual aspects in order to create a romantic mood. The end result is a video that tugs at the heart strings and leaves feelings of happiness, sadness, or any others, but above all, a feeling of romance that the viewer experiences.
- Drama - Some videos are out there for the purposes of making you laugh, others are out there to give you an extra jolt of adrenaline, but there are also videos that will make you cry, or feel things you don't on an every day basis. Drama is an important part of what makes music videos truly a form of art. This category is for videos that have captured a feeling or an emotion and conveyed it extremely well.
- Action - This video is adrenaline... excitement... suspense... This video is a roller-coaster ride. It might involve fighting, flying, playing tennis or anything you can think of - but if this video captivates you and gets your blood pumping then it is the best action video.
- Comedy - Comedy is possibly the most difficult genre to master. What is funny to one person may be just plain stupid to another. The Best Comedy award goes to the video which made the best jokes or comical situations. It's the video that made you laugh the most but it's also the video that made you laugh not just because of the song or anime used but of the clever way they are put together and presented.
- Fun/Upbeat - This category is for videos that make you want to get up and dance!
- Other – This category is for videos that don't precisely fit into the rest of the categories. Movie Trailers, horror, experimental videos, they all go here.
2. Explanations of the 4 "Technical Categories" (aka Judged Awards)
- Best Editing - A nice visual effect is something, but a nice integration is another thing. Editing matched to perfection with the flow of the video, playing in accordance to the music, note by note, image by image, fused to the music video with harmony and integrity. Something that if misplaced or done incorrectly would have made the video forgettable, but because it was done with perfect accordance it became unforgettable. The music video which exemplifies this deserves the Best Editing award.
- Best Concept - The things that never happen, the story that never exists, the point of view that you've never met before. Something that makes you imagine things. Alternative ways of thinking, imagining and creating. Alternative stories, relationships and concepts. An elusive something that makes a video different and stands out will earn the Best Concept award.
- Coordinator's Choice – It's a tough job, going through all these videos! This award is for that one video which put a smile on my face everytime I had to watch it - once when I got it, once for the re-encode, once for the staff pre-screening, three or four times during the course of the convention..... You get the idea. If I had to watch it that many times, and still loved it and wanted to watch it again, you deserve this award.
- Staff Choice – Competition is by nature survival of the fittest. This award is for that special video that astonishes us with imagination and creativity that we want to recognize, that may end up being overlooked otherwise.
3. Audience Choice Voting system & Prizes
- The audience will be voting for "Best Romance", "Best Drama", "Best Action", "Best Comedy", "Best Fun/Upbeat/Other", and "Best of Show" out of the entire field of finalist entries.
- A video is eligible for only one audience choice award. If a video is selected to win 2 awards, (say Best Action and Best of Show), the video will be awarded the higher award (Best in Show) and the runner up will be awarded the category award (Best Action).
- A video may win both an audience choice award and a judged award, for instance, Best Action & Best Editing.
- We have some nice little trophies for our winners, featuring original artwork of the convention mascot. If you are not present to accept your trophy, it will be mailed to you after the convention.
- Winners of the 6 Audience Choice Categories will receive $250 gift cards in the mail, by December 31, 2015.
4. Preferred Seating for FMV Creators in Main Events
- If your entry makes it to the final competition, you will be on a list for preferred seating during all Music Video screenings at Connecticon. Your real name will be used, along with your badge name or nickname. You may bring one guest with you to the reserved seating area for all events.
- Although you will get preferred seating at the Music Video Contest screenings & Masquerade, this DOES NOT qualify you for complimentary admission to the convention as a whole.
- You may receive a secondary badge in addition to your convention membership badge, which will grant you VIP access to FMV events. These badges are provided personally by the FMV Coordinator.
- To claim your preferred seat, arrive thirty minutes before the contest starts and approach any CTCon staff or volunteer near the door. Your name will be checked against the list of contestants and you will be shown to the reserved seating area.
- If you are not in your seat at least fifteen minutes before the scheduled start of the screening, we'll assume you're not coming and give up your spot to anyone still waiting to get in.
- Music Video Contest award winners will be announced and prizes presented during the Masquerade intermission on Saturday night. If you are at the Masquerade and are announced as a winning entry, you can come up on stage to receive your award. If you (or your proxy) are at the convention but miss the Masquerade, your award can be picked up on Sunday at the tech stand in the back of Main Events. Ask for Lyndsey (or Kiarrens). If you do not attend the convention, your award will be mailed to you sometime after the convention.
The Tiny Type (ie, Legal Concerns)
- By submitting an entry, each contestant agrees: they have read, understand and will comply with these official rules; and, or to the extent permitted by law, consent to the use of the entrant's name, likeness and/or biographical data for purposes of advertising and promotion by Connecticon, without further consent, compensation or approval.
- Submitted materials become the property of Connecticon and will not be returned. By submitting a video to Connecticon, the video creator grants Connecticon non-revocable permission to exhibit that video. The video creator otherwise retains all rights and responsibilities relating to its creation.
- The prizes being awarded may constitute income under applicable federal, state and local tax laws and winners shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all taxes, which may be due with respect to the acceptance of the prize.
- We cannot be held responsible for lost or misdirected entries.
- Do not submit anyone's videos other than your own or your group.
- No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited by law.
- We reserve the right to modify these rules at any time without notice.

COLCHESTER Vermonts lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives is going to be working with a bipartisan group of his colleagues to reform a federal law that requires corn-based ethanol in motor vehicle fuels.
U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, a Democrat, argues the requirement that ethanol, which is made from corn, drove up the price of corn and increased the costs for Vermont dairy farmers.
And he argues ethanol can harm some small engines.
He said the mandate was well intentioned, but it had unintended consequences that hurts dairy farmers and the motors used on boats, chain saws and snowmobiles across Vermont.
Welchs proposal would repeal the mandate on corn ethanol production. It would also prevent the federal government from increasing the requirement on the amount of ethanol blended into gasoline.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

My ideal Camaro doesn't have an automatic bolted to its 3.6-liter V-6, but I walked away impressed with this gearbox. In sport mode (shift to "M" but don't touch the paddles), the transmission was quite responsive to throttle input, and even the manu-matic controls are some of the best I've seen from anyone - GM especially - in recent years. I can't recall the last time I've flawlessly executed a double downshift on a GM automatic in anything other than a Corvette.
The V-6 isn't wanting for power, and as Joe DeMatio notes, its lower price point is more palatable and allows buyers to add on the extra goodies. I wish a blind-spot detection system were one of them. The slinky C-pillars are massive - though stylish - and any traffic approaching the Camaro from behind is virtually invisible.

Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter?
The new dv6z seems to be using similar (same?) cards for wi-fi and bluetooth. Thus, the wireless adapter is a Broadcom chipset and not Intel or Atheros. I noticed that the virtual wireless adapter is not installed, which shows usually up as wireless network connection 2, and allows one to use programs like Connectify. Does this card not support this technology in Windows 7 or is there a driver I can install to rectify this?

Rate Dr. Mark R. Shaya
Dr. Mark R. Shaya's Ratings
I had acdf surgury in early Nov on c5-c7. I am 57 years old. My discs have been herniated for over 20 years. I have arthritis, spinal stenosis, bone spurs and migraines. I was experiencing severe neck pain and could not funtion daily activitys at all. This surgury was long over due. I live in Boca Raton. It was worth the long drive. Dr Shaya is a highly skilled surgeon. I am so happy that I chose him. I am pain free. I finally have my life back. Its remarkable how good I feel 6 weeks after surgury.

I had back surgery for lumbar stenosis in May 2014. The results are amazing! Almost 5 months after surgery and I would say I am about 90% back to normal. Instant relief of the pain from day 1, as soon as I woke up from surgery. Dr. Shaya and personnel are patience, respectful and understanding. Would definitely recommend him!

I am a 50 year old female with neck and back pain for well over 10 years, I had a lumbar fusion in 2005 in another state. Since moving to Miami I had to seek help for the pain increase pain in my neck and arms, I was under the care of a local Doctor who treated me with therapy in his office for about two years and the pain continued. I did some research and came across Dr. Shaya and after some test and a few visits he recommended a cervical fusion and it was done in January 2013, the surgery was a success since the pain I was having is no longer there and I was able to return to work within 2 months . I had to follow up Dr. Shaya in 2014 for the lumbar and had to be operated in July 2014, I am currently recovering and but the initial complaint and pain I suffered from is no longer there. I have complete confidence that the second surgery is also successful. I most certainly would recommend Dr. Shaya as I have enough confidence in him to have had two procedure. Thank you Dr. Shaya

Justiz surgery date September 3, 2014
I am very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Shaya. I was wheeled in to his office unable to walk. Dr. Shaya assessed my condition and decided to have me hospitalized due to the severity of my pain. I had , spinal stenosis, compressed nerves. Dr shaya was able to immediately pinpoint my problem. He was confident in his recommendation of surgery if I wanted any relief. Dr. Shaya has given me a new lease on a narcotic and pain free life. Most importantly I am able to walk!
Thank you Dr. Shaya but my 8 year old daughter thanks you most.

I was very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Shaya. I had herniated discs, spinal stenosis, compressed nerves and a sacral cyst. I was having back pain, along with bilateral burning nerve pain in the groin and thigh area to the point I was beginning to have no quality of life. I went to other doctors prior to meeting Dr. Shaya, and only Dr. Shaya was able to immediately pinpoint my problem with compressed nerves, etc. He was confident in his recommendation to me for surgery if I wanted any chance to get better. I had a bilateral laminectomy L3, L4, L5, S1 and foraminotomies where the nerves were decompressed. The tarlov cyst at S2 was shrunk down. (Dr Shaya is one of a few doctors in the country who is skilled in treating these kind of cysts). I have heard the horror stories out there with those who have had failed back surgery by other doctors, but Dr. Shaya was reassuring with his expertise. I was also impressed with Dr Shaya's no-nonsense approach and his accessibility and quick response to questions. He understands when patients are in pain and I was able to have my surgery promptly scheduled. Dr. Shaya was receptive and accommodating when it came to my medical needs and recovery in the hospital. I had my surgery about 6 months ago without any complications, and by my 3rd month I was starting to feel much better with significant improvement to the point where I felt I got my life back! For this, I am very grateful, and would highly recommend Dr. Shaya as a brilliant, thorough and compassionate surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Shaya!

I came to see Dr. Shaya after experiencing extreme numbness and tingling in my left left. Prior doctors treated it as a sciatica episode. After multiple injections, steroids, and physical therapy, my condition continued to deteriorate. I insisted on an MRI from my insurance company. I saw Dr. Shaya on a Wednesday afternoon when he read the MRI and he operated Friday morning. All that time I had been suffering and getting worse I had a spinal tumor growing around L4-S1 plus wrapping itself around my nerves and depriving them of blood flow. If it wasn't for Dr. Shaya my quality of life would have severely continued to deteriorate. I'm now 6 weeks out and rehabbing by jogging in my pool and doing Pilates. He's accessible, professional, caring, and direct. Truly, you could not possibly ask for more from a surgeon.

Care Investment Trust Inc. Announces Completion Of Business Combination With Majority Stockholder; Changes Name To Tiptree Financial Inc.
NEW YORK, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Care Investment Trust Inc. (OTCQX: CVTR), now known as Tiptree Financial Inc. ("Tiptree" or the "Company"), today announced the completion of its previously-announced transaction ("Transaction") with Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. ("Tiptree LP") to combine their businesses into a single operating company that will hold and manage the combined companies' businesses and assets.
In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company, formerly known as Care Investment Trust Inc., changed its name to "Tiptree Financial Inc." and will remain a public company. The Company is seeking a listing of its common stock on a national securities exchange, but no assurance can be made as to the Company's ultimate ability to do so.
Geoffrey Kauffman, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, has been elected President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and will remain Vice Chairman of the Board. Julia Wyatt has been elected Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Michael Barnes will remain Executive Chairman of the Company, and Salvatore ("Torey") Riso, previously President and Chief Executive Officer of Care Investment Trust Inc., will continue to manage the Care business as President and Chief Executive Officer of Care Investment Trust LLC.
"The closing of this combination transaction is an important step in Tiptree's six-year history. We are excited about the opportunities available to the combined Company, and look forward to continuing to grow Tiptree while providing value and liquidity for investors," Mr. Kauffman said in a statement.
Effective as of the closing of the Transaction, J. Rainer Twiford, Jean-Michel (Mitch) Wasterlain and Mr. Riso resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company. Effective as of the closing of the Transaction, Richard A. Price and Bradley E. Smith were elected to the Board of the Company. Jonathan Ilany and William Houlihan will continue as members of the Board of the Company. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company renamed its existing common stock as "Class A common stock" with no change in the economic or voting rights of such stock, and reclassified a certain number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock as "Class B common stock" that was issued to Tiptree LP upon the closing of the Transaction. The Company now holds approximately 25% of the membership interests in, and is the managing member of, the Operating Subsidiary, and Tiptree LP now holds approximately 75% of the membership interests in the Operating Subsidiary plus shares of Class B common stock of the Company, which shares will have proportionate voting rights but no economic rights.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

text: @Logicfest -- an even bigger problem is that some companies have grown lazy on alternative fuel research because of the availability of ethanol. If our goal is to be completely free of foreign oil or develop something to power engines with other than gasoline, ethanol won't solve those problems. You still have to have petroleum to make E85 work.
