The evolving electronic workplace: Part 1
Minimize risks, maximize rewards
Ruth Mackey and Todd Fredrickson
As electronic technology continues to advance, its role in the workplace continues to grow, changing both the nature of the workplace and the employer-employee relationship. This article will examine and provide solutions to some of the common dilemmas facing employers on the "electronic frontier" in areas such as social media, GPS tracking, video surveillance, monitoring of communications and Electronically Stored Information (ESI).
Social Media
It is estimated that Facebook has over 500 million users worldwide. And, according to a CareerBuilder.com survey, nearly half (45 percent) of U.S. employers report using social networking sites to dig up information about job candidates.
According to another recent poll, more than 50 percent of employers believe they have a right to monitor employee postings on social networking websites. At the same time, 60 percent of employees surveyed believe their online activities are none of their employer's business.
So where does the truth lie? Clearly employees don't have the right to say anything they like on social media sites, but employers should be cognizant of the following issues with regard to social media in the workplace or in the hiring process:
• Hiring practices that rely heavily on recruiting through social media sites or that require screening through these sites have the potential to give rise to claims of discrimination since individual "profiles" may list a person's race, religion, disability, sexual orientation and other protected categories. Remember that an important defense against a failure to hire claim is actual ignorance of protected characteristics.
• Employers should not use techniques, such as creating "dummy" profiles, to obtain access to information that an applicant has taken steps to make private.
• State laws may prohibit employers from taking an adverse employment action based on information suggesting that applicants were engaged in lawful conduct during non-working hours, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, or engaging in consensual sexual activities.
• Managers should be wary of "friending" employees on social networking sites. Be careful not to reveal anything online that you wouldn't say or post in the break room. Remember that a post to a social networking page could become part of harassment or discrimination claim even though it may appear on a "personal" page. Use privacy controls to manage the flow of information.
• NLRB protections: Recently the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a complaint alleging that one of an employer's union-represented employees was unlawfully fired after criticizing her supervisor on Facebook . The complaint also alleged, among other things, that the company's blogging and Internet policy "interfere[d] with, restrain[ed], and coerce[d]" employees' NLRA rights. An administrative law judge was scheduled to hear the complaint, but a settlement was reached. The law protects an employee's right to act in concert with one or more other employees in furtherance of a common concern regarding any term or condition of employment.
• Employers that rely on information gathered from social media websites should be sure to obtain this information in a lawful manner.
The Stored Communications Act is noteworthy in that it is a Federal statute prohibiting intentional, unauthorized access to private electronic communications such as Facebook or Hotmail. The Act creates a privacy expectation in private electronic communications. In a recent case management requested access to a password-protected forum for employees. When employees were terminated because of content found on the blog, a jury found in favor of the employees.
Facebook vs. LinkedIn
Although Facebook is very popular, employers should consider searching only the LinkedIn social network. LinkedIn is a site intended for professional networking and it displays users' education and experience and may have professional references. LinkedIn also tends to be less "gossipy" than Facebook.
Social networking: Employer Pitfalls
When using social media as a screening tool, employers should be consistent: If you check any candidates, check all candidates. And if a search reveals information that played a part in not hiring, keep a copy of information and consider giving the candidate an opportunity to address the information.
To be sure, there is no shortage of "cringeworthy" material and "Facebook failures" out there. These include embarrassing photos and YouTube videos; rants about supervisors, employers, co-workers and customers; and controversial commentary about politics, religion and other incendiary topics.

I've just spent a ridiculous amount of time sifting the needle-like bits from dried thyme from my garden. Stripping the leaves off each twig, chopping everything in the food processor, all of no use. I air-dried the thyme in little bouquets, maybe it would be better to remove the leaves before drying? After years of struggle with thyme, I have two bushy thyme plants this year, and I was looking forward to jars full of crumbled organic thyme. Tonight most of it will end up in the compost bin. I have dried lots of other herbs, none was so tedious. Any tricks or suggestions? Thanks!
I feel your pain! Try drying thyme the same one would dry rose blossoms. Cut, tie the ends together with thread, hang upside down in a relatively dark place (basement, garage) until dry. Hold bunches over a sheet of parchment. Run your fingers over them. Collect the leaves in a jar. Any sort of recycled jar will do just fine.
You've worked much harder than me! I either strip fresh thyme, not worrying too much about a few twigs, and use it immediately. Or I hang it to dry, then do pretty much the same thing--instead of stripping, it's more like I kind of crumble it, getting mostly leaves and a few twigs, of which I remove the big ones. I definitely do not feel I have to remove every twig, mostly just the woody parts. And while a fair amount may end up in the compost, I see it as overall little work and a lot of gain--I think thyme is one of the best everyday herbs. I don't see the need for a food processor--it strips or crumples into small enough pieces.
Or else--tie the whole twigs together with twine. Use them in your dish, and remove the bundle before you serve. Nothing easier than that!
Or as Greenstuff suggests, tie the whole bundle up in some cheesecloth and immerse in whatever you are making.
Just hang them up..let them dry.
Then use a clean sheet and take your hands to get the dried leaves off and them fall into the sheet..Collect and store.
I agree with everyone here. Thyme is one of my most low maintenance herbs to harvest, just cut, dry, crumble and store. During the growing season I use it fresh and then off-season I keep a mayo-sized jar filled with dried thyme and it usually lasts me till spring. I try not to be too particular about the stems. They aren't that bad.
I had fresh thyme from the supermarket too long, and found that it had dried without any effort on my part. I took it out and kept it on a pantry shelf, and I found that the leaves fell of on their own. Passive processing!
Thanks everyone! I think next time I will just run my fingers over the dried twigs and crumble the leaves, that's less yield but fine. I am so finicky about the small woody parts because when I was a teenager, once when I ate my mothers tomato sauce with Herbes de Provence, one of her staples, a small piece of a thyme twig got stuck in my throat. I did not hurt but it felt very uncomfortable. So after a couple of days I went to the otolaryngologist, who removed it, wondering about my mother's cooking. I was awfully embarrassed.
Fresh thyme is so great to use as is that the dried version pales in comparison -- why not put up your herbs in oils and fats that its flavor will permeate throughout? Here's a quick tip on making herbed butter (with fresh thyme and other herbs) that you can store in the fridge as a tasty topping for bread or for cooking with: http://lunchatsixpoint...
Cathy, thyme butter sounds good however I also use thyme often in breads so I cannot do without it dried. But for cooking I like the idea of thyme-infused oil. Do you happen to know a good recipe for thyme oil?
Infused oils, compound butters, lovely ideas. As well, there is always room for recently, "fresh" dried thyme. Grow it up, use it up.
We grow are Herbs every year and store them for the winter. What we do with Thyme is dry it hanging upside down, then cut it in small pieces in a colander, just crunch it, swirl it around and the small pieces fall through the holes. This is the easiest way we found to do it. Then we put it in a chopper and finely chop it.
We grow a large amount of thyme so drying most of it is necessary. I strip the thyme fresh just to remove the large stem, spread evenly on a baking pan and dry overnight in our oven. The pilot light alone dries the thyme at the perfect temperature (about 100º). The next morning I grind finely in a spice chopper (which takes care of those tiny stems) and store in 1 cup Mason jars with a plastic storage lid over a canning lid. Keeps the pantry moths out and the flavor in, and is fairly easy. (When a huge batch comes in the stripping becomes a family bonding opportunity!)

Paper brings your sketches to life (hands-on)
As CNET's Mary Jo Foley reported earlier today, former execs associated with the nixed Courier dual-screen tablet from Microsoft have joined together to make an elegant sketchpad and ideas app.
Paper, by developer FiftyThree, is free and offers only a handful of features initially, but it's just enough to make you want to sample some of the in-app purchases for more tools.
Upon launch you're presented with a welcome screen that outlines the simple set of tools. A tap opens a book, and swiping horizontally lets you turn the 3D pages. The feel of the app is very fluid, and it even accounts for your swipe momentum, so a stronger flick turns several pages until they slow to a stop. Details like these make the simple interface impressive, even without many bells and whistles. From there you simply tap on a page to start editing.… Read more

We are planning another OC meet out here in Vegas. This time we are going Downtown.
This is copy and paste from OCDO.
After our success on the strip, I'd like to continue this momentum and meet again soon!
We'll be meeting at Fremont Street Experience on Saturday night Jan 30 at 7PM. Let's meet on the west end (closest to the Plaza while still under the canopy) at Main & Fremont between Las Vegas Club and Golden Gate.
Park where ever you like. There's a public parking garage (which does charge a fee) on the east end at 4th & Fremont. I plan to park at Golden Gate Casino, where I can valet and immediately exit to Main St without entering the casino itself. The valet guys there are pretty cool and we should have no problems parking there. There's also on-street parking and other parking garages everywhere.
Not protesting anything, just getting together to further promote open carry. Please invite friends & family to attend, whether they OC, CC, or NC (no carry).
Feel free to cross-post this to other forums, especially USA Carry and NV Shooters.
Plenty of street vendors selling food and drinks. None of the casinos are posted that I've observed, but YMMV as far as not being asked to leave.
I'm going to print up some larger-than-normal business cards with applicable laws & rights in case any citizens are curious and ask questions, you'll be prepared to hand them something.
See you in a week!

The coverage and commentary set off by the release of Sicko, Michael Moore's documentary about the failures of the U.S. healthcare system, was certainly enlightening--as an example of how corporate media continue to twist and restrict the much-needed debate on healthcare reform.
Aside from an occasional concession that 46 million uninsured Americans are indeed problematic, the media's hype-filled conversation avoided the issues, echoes old myths and effectively marginalizes popularly backed proposals for change. One could almost get the sense, watching the reporting on the documentary, that the real problem facing Americans was...Michael Moore.
On ABC's Good Morning America (6/13/07), Chris Cuomo dwelled on how Moore "likes to place blame.... He blames the industry, he blames the government and he blames the media for not asking tough questions." That Cuomo sees being critical of government and big business as an inherently questionable trait would seem to back up Moore's skepticism about journalism.
Fox's Sean Hannity (Hannity's America, 6/17/07) said Moore "will take any measure to glorify and promote himself and his own personal agenda," and has "launched attacks on just about everybody and anything that steps in his path." Hannity later called Moore "a pathetic propagandist" who is "not even any good at it" (Hannity & Colmes, 6/19/07). Hannity's occasional substitute, radio host Curtis Sliwa (5/10/07), even brought up Moore's weight, claiming that he'd believe some of Sicko's accusations if Moore "could lose the 500 pounds."
"Getting people who don't like Moore to give Sicko a chance will be a challenge," USA Today's Anthony Breznican wrote (6/22/07), since "conservatives have used Moore's name to blast dissenters." And the media are helpfully perpetuating the Moore distraction.
When mainstream media bother to address the problems and proposals of the healthcare debate, many regurgitate common myths. Single-payer healthcare, the universal healthcare program proposed in the bill HR 676, is frequently described as "government-run" or "socialized" healthcare or medicine (e.g., USA Today, 6/13/07; CNN, 6/25/07; O'Reilly Factor, 6/27/07; Wall Street Journal, 6/28/07), even though the Canadian-style system involves private doctors, hospitals and other caregivers who are merely paid for by the government.
Still, commentators and pundits continue to scare the public with inaccurate accusations. On CNBC (Kudlow & Co., 6/20/07), right-wing filmmaker Stuart Browning mourned the imaginary loss of personal choice, saying Moore and HR 676 supporters "advocate systems in which we would not be able to spend our own money on our own bodies." Fox's Morton Kondracke (Beltway Boys, 6/24/07) warned of a slippery slope from single-payer care to a socialist dictatorship, saying that "Moore basically wants socialized everything and the movie neglects to tell you that Cuba is a dictatorship and an economic basket case." (That "basket case" grew at a rate of 9.5 percent in 2006, according to the CIA World Factbook.)
In the face of this media demonization, universal healthcare is remarkably popular among the public. In a recent CNN poll (5/4-6/07), 64 percent of respondents agreed that "government should provide a national health insurance program for all Americans, even if this would require higher taxes." And in a recent CBS/New York Times poll (2/23-27/07), 64 percent wanted the federal government to "guarantee health insurance for all" (FAIR Action Alert, 6/25/07).
Despite the poll numbers, journalists still often portray government-funded healthcare as a marginal idea. L.A. Times reporter Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar (6/22/07) even reported that supporting Moore's single-payer plan could be "political poison with the larger electorate" for Democratic presidential candidates. Alonso-Zaldivar's colleague, columnist Ronald Brownstein (whose wife works for John McCain), acknowledged the popularity of a universal healthcare system (7/1/07), but said:
It's true that it's difficult to change a system that creates billions of dollars in profits for a private industry. When you've got corporate media distorting reality on behalf of that industry, that's when it becomes nearly impossible.

You are responding to the following review:
Submitted: 10-11-2011 by Craig
I've had an Airis Angler for over 2 years now. I use it nearly every weekend, to kayak and fish in reservoirs, rivers, coastal lagoons and the ocean around Puerto Rico. This is a great kayak. I can even stand up in it to fly cast, it is so stable in calm waters. One of the first improvements I made to it was to install a swivel seat on the aluminum platform.In contrast to one of the reviewers, I have found the construction and durability to be absolutely first rate. It has a few scratches, sure -- I've used it hard, and have had to drag it over sand and it's made contact with rocks and corals on occasion. But the only 2 leaks have been from my errors with fish hooks. Easily repaired. I love this kayak, and when it eventually wears out, I would buy a new one in a heartbeat.

Cath Madden Trindle
(Farm Credit Administration) 1933
The Farm Credit Administration was created in 1933 to make long-term and short-term credit available to farmers and to farmers' cooperative marketing and purchasing organizations. It assumed duties of Federal Farm Board which had been established in 1929
The origins of the FCA date to 1916, when the Federal Farm Loan Bureau, the Federal Farm Loan Board, and Federal Land Banks were established to meet the needs of farmers in for liberal credit and low interest rates. Congress and Presidents Taft and Wilson took up the cause of farmers, farm editors and bankers who sought a system that would facilitate the expansion of credit to the farmers that needid it most. A series of commissions were sent to study cooperatives that had been set up in France and Germany. The proposals of the commissions resulted in the passage of the Hollis-Bulkley Bill (Federal Farm Loan Act) of 17 Jul 1916. Twelve regional farm land banks were set up, and a system for extending credit established. Most of the original capital was supplied by the government. The intention was that the borrowing farmers would ultimately own the banks.
In 1923 the system was extended with 12 intermediate credit banks set up with government money, one in each region.
Just six years later the Depression hit hard. With prices of farm products falling and the value of farms declining delinquencies increased. In 1932 the government invested $125 million to bolster the land banks through bonds, again bcoming the majority stockholder. All of the existing federal agricultural-credit organizations were unified into one agency, the Federal Credit Administration, by executive order in 1933. Congress subsequentally authorized the FCA to extend the system of farm-mortgage credit. Funds were made available for loans on easy terms for first or second mortgages to debtors whose collateral was so low in value or so encumbered by debt as to make refinancing by the land banks unfeasible. The FCA was also authorized to establish 12 production credit corporations and banks for cooperatives. The result was a centralized source of farm credit.
In 1939 the FCA was absorbed into the Dept. of Agriculture. In 1953 the FCA once again became an independent agency. Its authority was later realigned by the Farm Credit Act of 1971.
If your ancestors owned a farm in the early 20th century or during the Depression there is a chance that they had a mortgage with the Federal Land Banks or thorugh the Farm Credit Administration. Even if you can not find individual records for them, understanding the economics of the times can add a sense of reality to your genealogical records.

Description: The criminal justice system constitutes the area in which the resolutions of conflicts generated by criminality, both nationally and internationally, are cleared up. It includes a group of institutions led by professionals trained in different scientific disciplines, who have found no comprehensive educational offer in the traditional map of official degrees. This master's degree embodies a firm commitment to comprehensive training of future professionals and researchers in the field of the criminal justice system. It aims to offer transdisciplinary training in all the integral disciplines which make up the criminal sciences. It is the only existing master's degree in the Spanish geographical scope which approaches an analysis in depth, both of legal disciplines and of those with an empirical basis, related to the criminal phenomenon. In this sense, the very title of the master "Criminal Justice System" has been taken from consolidated international models, as the counterpart postgraduate studies at the University of Massachusetts or the University of Leicester, where the expression "Criminal Justice System" is used to refer the interdisciplinary approach to issues concerning the activity.
In order to achieve such an objective, jurists and criminologists from five different Spanish universities, coordinated by the University of Lleida, have joined forces to make this educational offer possible.
Since it is an academic and also a research-oriented master, that also offers a study in depth of subjects such as substantive criminal law, criminal procedure, criminology, basic crime theories, and victimology, it also aims to train the students from the side of research methodology. Thus, the objective is also to provide the students with the knowledge and methodological skills that, apart from allowing them to undertake a first research paper in the master, also introduce them to the execution of a doctoral thesis.
Number of credits: 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)
Duration: 1 academic year
Dates: November 2012 - September 2013
Directed to: Graduates in Law, Criminology, Psychology, Sociology, Political Science and other social sciences related to criminology.
Cost: In accordance with official fees yet to be announced. 2011 cost: 27,18 EUR/Credit

What to Do in Life: The Ultimate Life Purpose Question
June 29, 2010
According to the latest statistics, you've got 79.4 years to live on this planet. Whatever your age today, you can do the math to see how much time you have left. And like the winner of the lottery, you're faced with an important investment decision about what to do in life. Specifically—How will you spend the rest of your time? To answer this question we each must determine what the purpose of life is.
It's easy to avoid overtly thinking about these kinds of philosophical questions by filling up our lives with a long string of activities. Perhaps, like millions of others, your typical day goes something like this: You brave the daily commute, do whatever you do to make a living, run a couple of errands at lunchtime, take the kids to soccer after work, pay the bills, watch another episode of your favorite TV series, and then hit the sack in order to get up and do it again tomorrow. Maybe your list looks a bit different, but you get my point. While I'm not suggesting that any of these are bad things to do, these activities can fill up our days and create jam-packed schedules that leave little time for reflection. And of course, these activity-trap filled days soon stretch into years of busyness. And our daily busyness keeps us from slowing down enough to seriously ask, "How do I find my purpose in life?" And then, there you are at 79.4 years of age saying, "Hey, what a minute, I've got some really important things I want to do."
Here's what you should do with your life (I know, this sounds ridiculously presumptive, but hang on.): Learn to listen for your Calling to uncover your life purpose. Identify your unique gifts and talents and use them in a way that makes the world a better place and brings you deep joy at the same time. Go ahead and pursue your heartfelt dreams until your life is passion. And while all of this is much easier said than done for many of us, it is quite doable for everyone. When it comes to what you do with your 79.4 years, my overall investment advice is simple: Spend it wisely.

Decadent cinnamon ice cream sandwiched between classic snickerdoodle cookies make these Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches the perfect summertime treat!
Over the weekend, my husband and I put the kids to bed and decided to have a little "us" time. We drove into town to the local ice cream shop for a couple scoops of our favorite dessert. Pinguino Eis in Grafenwoehr, Germany serves the best handmade ice cream I've never had with flavors that are always in season! (For more, read this review of Pinguino Eis from my friend Thais!
I ordered a scoop fresh raspberry and a scoop of chocolate ice cream and my husband ordered a scoop of white chocolate and a scoop of cinnamon ice cream… both on waffle cones. (I posted a picture on Instagram if you want to see!) There is almost nothing I love more than chocolate and berries together so I was in Heaven with my cone. But then I had a lick of Dave's cinnamon ice cream. I'd never had that flavor before… actually, I never even seen cinnamon ice cream before that day. And let me tell you, that cinnamon ice cream was out-of-this-world delicious!
Woah! So good in fact that I immediately began dreaming up ways I could use it in a baking project for JavaCupcake. And so… today's creation was born!
This week, my husband's boss & family plus another guy from work were coming over for dinner. It was supposed to be a warm day, so the plan was to BBQ brats, drink beers and chill in the backyard while the kids played. We could eat, drink and get a little FRG work done in the process. I wanted to make a dessert that would please the kids and the adults and decided that using the cinnamon ice cream to make Snickerdoole Ice Cream Sandwiches was perfect for the warm Spring evening!
I began with my favorite Snickerdoodle cookie recipe from the 1963 Betty Crocker Cooky Book and added a bit of nutmeg to the batter. I think that extra spice really adds a kick to the cookie! The ice cream, of course, is from Pinguino Eis and paired perfectly with the Snickerdoodles!
If you can't find cinnamon ice cream, you could easily make your own. Simply soften your favorite vanilla ice and stir in a few teaspoons per every cup of ice cream you'll be using. Make sure to pop the ice cream back in the freezer if it starts to get too soft before making your ice cream sandwiches.
Finally, to serve the Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches, I cut strips of brown parchment/baking paper, wrapped that around each sandwich and tied it off with bakers twine. This was a cute, simple way to fancy up this sweet dessert!
Happy Baking!
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1½ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon, for rolling
- ¼ cup sugar, for rolling
- 4 cups cinnamon ice cream *(see NOTE below)
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the shortening and butter until combined.
- Add the sugar and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated then mix in the vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and sugar for rolling and set aside.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until a dough ball forms.
- Roll 1-inch balls of dough with your hands then toss them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture to completely coat. NOTE: The more uniform your balls are in size, the better sandwiches they will make.
- Place on prepared baking sheets and bake for 8 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE!
- Allow to cool on cookie sheets 3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, scoop 3-4 Tbsp of cinnamon ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie and spread evenly across the cookie. Sandwich a second cookie, flat side down, onto the ice cream.
- Freeze until ready to serve.

Oh my gosh, I so need one of those right now. I love snickerdoodles, but I imagine they would be even better with a layer of ice cream sandwiched between them!

Cable company plans for future technology

Your Brain: A Guide to Fine-Tuned Performance
Your brain: it's not just a grey squishy thing. You can actually use it for a lot, like staying alive. You may not know it, but your brain? You need to use it or lose it.
Your Brain: 2 Classic Ways to Lose It
1) Stress. Stress has not only been shown to be a major health risk, but it can also seriously cramp your brain, make it stop growing new cells, even make it physically smaller, and make you dumberer!
2) Not using it. Still believing in the old myth that your brain doesn't grow new cells and you can't stop your memory from going as you grow older? Believe again. Turns out your brain is like your bicep, the more you use it the bigger it grows, even into old age.
Your Brain: How To Fine-Tune Performance
Now that you know stress (and negative emotions) can retard your brain's performance, and that not stimulating those neurons can leave your brain muscles limp, what can you do to supercharge your brain?
1) Eat well! You and I both know this. While there are more diet theories than you can shake a stick at, most of them agree that more veggies & fruits than anything else is always a good thing. A cappucino is not a fruit (shucks).
2) Work that body! It's good for your brain & it's good for your body. It's also been touted for so many years you know and I know its benefits, so 'nuff talkin' and more sweatin'. Stretch, do cardio and pump up some muscle at least 3 times a week!
3) Challenge your brain! Push it and you grow it. Even when animals' brains are damaged, when put in an enriched environment where they can play and learn, the brains are able to grow and repair themselves!
Learn new things, take on new challenges, learn a new language, pick up a new instrument, do sudoku, play games, pick up quantum physics, stretch yourself!
4) Dissolve that stress! Being the big brain-buster that it is, not to mention the bummer that it feels, boosting your ability to deal with stress smoothly is a big plus for anyone.
According to Robert Sapolsky, people who handle stress well are optimistic, take the initiative to do what they can, see things as they really are and not blown out of proportion, have friends and family they can go to and be supported (TLC baby!).
5) Get some TLC (tender loving care)! Yup, you read it right; getting TLC doesn't only feel good, it provides real physical benefits for your brain. Rats that have been petted not only live longer, but their brains keep growing. Get your hug today, tell people it's good for the brain. Hugz!
Your Brain: It's Yours, Make It Lean, Make It Mean
Your Brain: it's not just there to look good. Treat it well, feed it right, work it out, push it on, let go of the burden and give it some love, and instead of a beat-up old bicycle you'll transform it into a rip-roaring Ferrari smokin' down the tracks.

Skyrim:Onmund's Request
This page is currently being rewritten as part of the Skyrim Quest Redesign Project. The page is being rewritten and checked in several stages. All users are welcome to make changes to the page. If you make a change that is relevant to the project, please update this template accordingly, and make sure you have observed the project guidelines. Detail
[edit] Quick Walkthrough
- Speak with Onmund.
- Speak with Enthir.
- Retrieve the Grand Staff of Charming from a random location.
- Return the staff to Enthir.
- Return the amulet to Onmund.
[edit] Radiant Options
Possible staff locations are:
[edit] Detailed Walkthrough
Start this quest by speaking to Onmund at the College of Winterhold. He will talk about his regret for trading his family amulet to Enthir. He will not tell you what he traded the amulet for, but will ask your help in obtaining the amulet back from Enthir.
Speak with Enthir about this. With a sufficiently high speech skill he can be persuaded to just return the amulet. Otherwise he will say that the trade is final. However, he will trade the amulet for the Grand Staff of Charming from a certain (randomly selected) location. The selected location will usually include a Boss-level caster foe, guarding a chest containing the staff, among other appropriate items.
- Note: Enthir may ask you to retrieve the same staff (or, at least, another instance of the same type of staff) from a different (randomly selected) location for the Arniel's Endeavor quest.
Return the staff to Enthir, and he will give you the Onmund's Amulet. Return the amulet to Onmund to complete the quest.
[edit] Reward
The only reward for completing the quest is Onmund's friendship: once you return his amulet, he becomes available as a follower, as well as a potential candidate for marriage.
[edit] Bugs
- You cannot speak to Enthir about the quest if The Staff of Magnus quest is active.
- If the staff is found before starting the quest, it will have weight, and can not be removed from the player's inventory. The quest will not show an icon on the map and dialogue options are not available to return the staff to Enthir. To fix these issues, equip the staff, and activate a weapon rack. An icon will then appear, hinting to pick up the staff. Picking up the staff will update the quest journal, directing you to return the staff to Enthir.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.4 of the Official Skyrim Patch.
- The console command
setstage MGRAppOnmund01 30
will allow you to advance. Also if you successfully persuade Enthir to give back the amulet and complete the quest, the staff is no longer considered a quest item and can be dropped/stored/sold normally.

So You Think You Can Dance Opinion Article
To all those who are fans of SYTYCD and all those behind the seens, to the judges and of course to the dancers.
In Glendale, Az. I was priviliged to meet the dancers of SYTYCD season 4 when they were all signing autographs. I must tell you that each and everyone of them is a class act. They work hard pushing their bodies to the limit. Their skill is what we admire them for but they should be admired for their down to earth personalities and their class. They actually take the time to sign for every fan and talk to them taking pictures with them. Gev and Twitch stood out among the guys as Jessica and Katee stood out among the girls. Katee actually went into the fan area beyond her security to talk with and sign for an elderly handicapped woman in a wheel chair....that was awesome of her. Jessica spoke of her injury and of the personal time the dancers had on the bus. (and yes it would be worth it to be a fly on the wall on that bus) Will takes to heart the fanfare and confesses his love (so whom ever you are you need not worry about his heart)Will does love all the girls attention and picture taking...Chelsea Hightower is a big flirt ad a little hottie I wouldnt mind getting to know. Everyone of them still has a humble attitude and it is great to see in rising stars. I just hope that none of them have reached their pinnacle and great successes will come to each of them. I saw the inspiration they gave to everyone that night in Glendale during the autograph signing and I was more amazed at them for their class than for their tallent. From the Darkside of Courtney, to Gev's breakdancing and flirtatious on stage antics with Courtney to Josh's High leg kicks to Karringtons Vienna Waltz and Twiches makeout with Katee in a heated fight at a door and some "Jerk" dissing Chelsie with a breafcase, the show is amazing live and although they may not dance as good as they did on T.V. they danced well enough to deserve several standing ovations and many of the dancers even got better...Mark...Thane..Chelsie T. And everyone did such a great professional job...they truly are amatuers no more and I hope they all make alot of money on this tour...believe me they deserve it...many fans didnt stand through performances to show their support because the getting up and downfor every great performance is a workout in its self....I give it an A+++++ The judges really did pick the best in the country...not only in dancing but also in attitude....everyone of them were total class....Thank you for letting me share planet Earth with all of you dancers from season 4. I hope you can all go on tour together again..I would pay double what I payed and I payed double the ticket price...From that guy in the glasses with the Stanford Hat....chow |

UGA "student athlete" Tray Matthews got kicked out of a 3-hour course called Children's Books. You can't make this stuff up.
People stop blaming Coach Richt for stupid things athletes do. THEY HAVE PARENTS that didn't teach them jack!
It must be a lonely feeling for a Braves pitcher to feel giving up one or two runs will likely cost him a loss.
How can anyone say that Dan should do the right thing and quit the Braves? No one would walk away from about 20 millions bucks, no one.
It is amazing that AL teams come into Turner Field and shut down the Braves as if they were a doormat NL club. It's difficult to watch.
Football is back and the players have longer hair and dance more than the cheerleaders.
Has Louisville become the new transfer stop for UGA rejects?
A team that strikes out as much as the Braves is not contender material. With that many strikeouts, the shutouts will multiply.
Way to go, Fredi. At this rate you will lead us straight to the cellar before the All-Star break.
Thanks Braves for taking B. J. Upton off our hands. He at least made way for another .200 hitter here in Tampa Bay!
When you make millions of dollars playing a game you open yourself up to criticism. No one thanks they're better, they're only expressing their opinion so don't tell me B J is better than me, I already know that.
Yeah, genius. Car races go in laps. Would you rather they close down the highways and have them race from town to town?
I won't know how the US does in soccer until I read someone comment about it on the vent, so don't worry about the bandwagon; it's the size of a smartcar and will still have room.
Richt is just like every other coach. He'll pretend to want only morally strong players but only if they can play football. Get over it UGA fans, Mr. Perfect ain't.
In their twilight years, I do wonder what Georgia Tech fans reminisce about.
Isn't it time to admit that this Braves team just isn't worth supporting?
Make a plan, "Hike." Make a plan, "Hike." That's about it.
Ha! The "next" football season is enough to make any grown UGA fan expect a National Championship, regardless of the names.
To the Venter who encouraged Mark Richt to "recruit quality PEOPLE first", please understand that he received his tutoring in the art of football recruiting from Bobby Bowden; you know he of the program once tagged as "Free Shoes U".
Yeah, let me say it first: Congratulations to the national champion Georgia Bulldogs! This is the year!

President Obama announces health law fix
US President Barack Obama has announced a one-year reprieve for millions of Americans facing cancelled insurance coverage under his healthcare law.
A contrite Mr Obama said his administration "fumbled the rollout" of his flagship domestic achievement.
But insurers, who axed policies that do not meet the new minimum conditions, raised doubts over Mr Obama's fix.
A separate issue with the law is the glitches plaguing the federal website set up to sell the new insurance.
On Thursday, Mr Obama said improvements to the website, which was launched last month, would be "marked and noticeable" by the end of November.
'Loud and clear'In the White House briefing room Mr Obama, who is currently beset by record low poll ratings, acknowledged the flaws with the law's rollout had put a "burden" on his fellow Democrats.
It is no coincidence that a new poll shows 52% of Americans now don't trust the president - his worst ratings ever. He says he gets it, understands how upset people are, and understands he has to win back some credibility. So people will now be able to keep their old plan for another year.
There are a number of problems with the president's fix. It is debatable if his reputation will be changed by a tweak that makes his original words true - for another twelve months.
The bigger problem is that he has to stop the momentum that leads people to see this as a flawed plan that doesn't work in practice. The ideology and the policy matter. Of course they do. But not as much as whether it works, and whether people like what they get.
Many of his political allies fear a backlash in the November 2014 midterm elections over the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act, known on both sides of the political divide as Obamacare.
In recent weeks insurance companies have sent letters to their customers announcing the cancellation of coverage that does not meet the new requirements of the law.
On Thursday, Mr Obama bowed to a wave of anger from consumers and members of Congress who have lambasted him for not keeping his promise that people would be able to hold on to their existing health plans.
He said that insurers could renew for 12 months the policies that have been cancelled, though the companies are not required to take that step.
Under the change, firms that extend those plans will be required to tell customers what medical care they do not cover, and inform them that better insurance options may be available.
Mr Obama also said he expected to have to "win back" credibility and the "confidence" of the American people in the wake of the health law's issues.
"I completely get how upsetting this can be for many Americans," he said. "To those Americans: I hear you loud and clear."
It is not known how many people could be affected by the fix. Nor is it clear if state officials, who would have to implement the changes, will do so.
'Just not fixable'Two insurance groups swiftly questioned Mr Obama's solution.
US media reaction
The Washington Post's conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin says the press conference was "arguably worse" than the Obamacare rollout itself and "inadvertently made the case against... big government in general".
In a news analysis piece, the New York Times says the botched rollout "threatens the rest of [Mr Obama's] agenda" but also raises concerns "in the same way that the Bush administration's botched response to Hurricane Katrina undermined any semblance of Republican efficiency".
The Chicago Tribune says the health law's legacy is unclear but Mr Obama "looked like that of someone who had messed up and finally realised there was only one simple message that might work to salvage things: My fault. Blame me."
America's Health Insurance Plans, the lobbying arm of the industry, said the proposed fix could "destabilise the market and result in higher premiums for consumers".
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners said in a statement that it was unclear how Mr Obama's proposal could be put into effect.
Ahead of the president's announcement, Republican House Speaker John Boehner insisted it was time to "scrap this law once and for all".
"You can't fix this government-run healthcare plan called Obamacare," he said of the legislation, which relies mostly on health insurance plans offered by private, for-profit companies. "It's just not fixable."
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is still working to fix its malfunctioning healthcare.gov website.
It was established by the law to enable consumers who do not get health cover through their employers or via government benefits to shop for coverage.
The problems have proven so severe that fewer than 27,000 people in 36 US states have successfully enrolled in healthcare policies on the federal website since it launched on 1 October.
About 79,000 managed to enrol using websites run by the other 14 states and Washington DC.

Samui Go-Kart, Bophut, Ko Samui
If you're after an adrenaline rush and want to let out your inner Lewis Hamilton, then Samui Go-Kart in Bophut is the place to go on Ko Samui. Be prepared to open your wallet wide, as it's not cheap, but the facilities are what you'd expect for the price.
So what can you expect? The track is 500 metres and you can choose from different categories of kart, depending on your level of daredevil-ness and experience. Beginners and children start with the kids' fun kart, which has a 5.5HP, four-stroke engine that can reach speeds of 40 kilometres per hour (600 baht for 10 minutes).
Those with a bit of practice behind them can opt for the pro-kart with a 13HP, four-stroke engine that can reach speeds of 75 kilometres per hour (700 baht for 10 minutes). Wannabe Formula One racers will love the thrill of the speed-kart with a 25HP, four-stroke engine that reaches a whopping 125 kilometres per hour (1,000 baht for 10 minutes).
If you prefer to ride tandem, the kids' kart and the pro kart both come as double karts.
The course has been open since 1993, making it one of the island's original attractions. Ten minutes doesn't sound long, but apparently it's all that most people can handle as it gives the arms quite a work out — we haven't tried it ourselves as it's not really our thing, but everyone we've spoken to who has done this has had a blast and thought it worth the price.
Karts are automatic, so if you're not used to gears, no worries. Vehicles are equipped with seatbelts and helmets are compulsory, while loose-fitting clothing is not permitted as it could caught in the wheels. With the wind in your hair in these open karts, 125 kilometres per hour must feel like low flying.
You'll find a few tables and chairs in the shade for those who just want to watch, and drinks are available from the counter inside. Oddly, there's an adjoining gym with the going rates at 180 baht per day, 600 baht per week, or 1,500 baht per month. The location on the ring road near many hotels means it's convenient should you wish to keep up your fitness routine while on holiday.
Although far from an "authentic" Thai experience, if you're after a bit of fun and aren't watching your budget too closely, Samui Go-Kart may be well worth a go. They offer free transfer to and from your hotel, too.

Headline – Mayor: Hempfest will be held at same park despite complaint
It's very interesting that the Mayor will allow a festival that promotes open marijuana smoking, as stated on the Hempfest website, "So bring your own and be as civilly disobedient as you wish! Circle up! Make new friends! Hempfest is certainly a smoke friendly zone and you'll love tokin' with 100,000 of your new Hempfest friends." in a public park even though I-502 specifically forbids the public consumption or display of marijuana.
Then there is the State of Washington RCW 70.160.030 and the King County Board of Health Regulation #10-03: which states, "Civil penalties for violations of this chapter at any large event venue shall be assessed at a rate of one hundred dollars for everyone thousand persons lawfully permitted to assemble at the venue, for each violation. Each day upon which a violation occurs or is permitted to continue constitutes a separate violation."
Why isn't he enforcing the laws he swore to uphold. It's because of our addiction to Hypocrisy. In the beginning of the WSLCB public hearings on I-502, everybody was saying, 'We have to get this right.' but the love of hypocrisy has allowed the Mayor to side step the law and pander to the 300,000 voters that attend Hempfest. He could have been an anti-hypocrite and fight to change the laws he refuses to enforce and allow Hempfest to operate, honestly, as it should, but as with most politicians, he succumbed to his addiction.
I love Hempfest and the venue it uses but if we truly want to get it right, let's fight the hypocrisy and feel good about ourselves. Remember Carl Jung said, "A little less hypocrisy and a little more self-knowledge can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures."
