Cloud Bear Rat E-liquid
Cloud Bear Rat is a fusion of Grizzly Vapes and Axiom Vaping's signature products. If you like either of the two (Koko Bear/Giant Cloud Rat or their derivatives), you're sure to love this juice! The custardy/cakey goodness of cloud rat accentuates the already complex nature of the bears, and it elevates both flavors into a very unique take on either juice. The Bear portion of this juice is complex enough to keep your taste buds from growing tired of the flavor, and the Cloud Rat flavors enhance the richness of the vape overall. The best part about any juice with a Bear in it is that you taste different things at different times!
This juice is only offered in 30ml bottles at this time.

Home / Football / League Cup Betting
The Capital One Cup, formerly known as the Carling Cup, is contested by all teams from the four professional English football leagues. The competition is a straight knockout, much like the FA Cup, but the semi-finals are played over two legs. The winners can qualify for the Europa League, if they haven't already qualified for the Champions League via their Premier League finishing position.
Teams from the Championship, League One and League Two contest the Carling Cup from the outset and those Premier League teams who are not playing in European competition enter the Capital One Cup at the second round. All teams then enter the competition at the third round stage. There are seven stages of the Capital One Cup, including the final that is played at Wembley in February.
Many teams tend to rest players for their Capital One Cup fixtures, to concentrate on their League matches, which makes betting on the Capital One Cup very tricky.

Interpreting research studies.
What makes the study important?
What makes a study newsworthy, or useful for informing policies and programs? It depends on how the study contributes to what we already know. This information may be summarized in the abstract of a scientific journal article or the executive summary of a longer report. More in-depth information is usually found in the "Discussion" or "Conclusions" sections at the end of the report. Look for answers to these questions:
* Does the study answer a previously unaddressed question?
* Does it address an old question in a new way or with surprising results?
* Does it confirm the results of previous studies, strengthening the evidence or showing that a program can be effective in multiple settings?
* Does it build on past work to show trends over time?
Reading through the abstract or executive summary with these questions in mind can help you evaluate the study's relevance even before you review the full publication.
Do the findings make sense?
The abstract or summary will also present the study's key "findings" or "results." Do they make sense, given what you already know about the subject? And are they rooted in the existing body of research? A scientific report should be properly referenced, with original sources for all factual statements and data from other research clearly cited.
But just because a study's findings challenge conventional wisdom, they are not necessarily incorrect. One function of research is to test common assumptions and reexamine earlier findings. A study with unexpected results can be particularly important or newsworthy, as it can lead to new insights and approaches. Findings that go against the conventional wisdom, however, require more careful evaluation.
Who conducted the research and wrote the report?
It is important to consider whether the study results could be influenced by a researcher's conflict of interest. You cannot always know this just by reading a report, but some knowledge of the field can guide you. Are the authors well regarded in the scientific community? What are their professional credentials? Have they published previously and, if so, in what journals?
Studies generally indicate where the authors work and who funded their research. Are the researchers independent, or could their work have been influenced by the company, government agency or advocacy group that employed or funded them? Who might stand to profit from the findings? Any potential conflict of interest should be identified up front. That said, researchers have opinions and beliefs just like everyone else; good researchers committed to a political or social agenda can still conduct unbiased, trustworthy studies that can withstand independent evaluation, provided they follow practices designed to protect the quality and integrity of research.
Who published the report?
Social science research is often disseminated through journal articles. An article published in a peer-reviewed journal has been evaluated by experts in the field to help ensure that it meets high scientific standards. Each field has its own hierarchy of journals; if you are familiar with the field, you can look to the prestige of the journal as one indication of a study's quality. If you are not sure how a journal ranks, look on its front pages for a statement that it is peer-reviewed and a list of who serves on its editorial committee or review board (if one exists).
Studies from sources other than journals (including reports that research institutions publish themselves) may also contain solid, useful information. Look to the "acknowledgments" (usually at the very beginning of a report) to see if the authors mention outside sources of input and advice, such as an expert advisory panel or external reviewers.
With the exception of some online journals, information on the Internet is not reviewed as rigorously before being posted, but some sites do have a review process. In general, if an external review process is not mentioned, you should assume that one does not exist--which means you will need to be cautious about accepting the study's conclusions.
Did the researcher select an appropriate group for study?
A social scientist's work is about people, either as individuals or as part of a social institution (for example, a school, a hospital, a religious group or a branch of government). Although the question motivating a researcher's work may be general ("What does the public think about abortion?" "At what age do teenagers begin to have sex?"), in practical terms a study often focuses on a subset, or sample, of the larger population. This sample must be selected carefully to ensure that the study results are applicable to the relevant general population.
The selection of the study group should be described in the "Methods" section of an article or report.
Using a representative sample is the best way to ensure that findings can be generalized to all members of the target population. If the researcher uses a representative sample, the report will typically state this specifically. There are many ways to achieve a representative sample, and selecting a true random sample is only one of them. Other common approaches are acceptable and--with appropriate statistical adjustments for weighting--can produce valid and representative results.
Sometimes, however, a researcher may have good reasons to select the target population in a different way. Perhaps there is no list of the general population available. Perhaps the behavior in question is particularly prevalent among a subgroup, so it makes the most sense to concentrate the study among this group in order to get results quickly. For example, to study HIV transmission among individuals with multiple sex partners, it may make sense to focus the study among commercial sex workers. Researchers do not always have to select a representative sample, but they should explain the reason for selecting their study population, and you should consider the extent to which their findings are applicable to other groups.
If comparison groups are used, how similar are they?
If a study is comparing two or more groups (to evaluate the effects of an intervention, for example), the results will be valid only if the groups are similar in all ways other than their exposure to the intervention being studied. Any preexisting differences between the groups could account for different outcomes. For example, a study evaluating the effectiveness of a sex education program may find that students at an urban school who have received sex education are more knowledgeable about HIV prevention than those at a rural school who have not. Since urban students are also more likely to have been exposed to public education campaigns via radio and television, the researchers will have to ask additional questions or do further analysis to be sure that the urban students' knowledge actually resulted from the school program.
In the best study designs, participants are randomly assigned to the study groups. But when differences do exist between the groups, researchers can use statistical techniques to control for differences. The way the study groups were selected should be described in a report's "methods" section; a comparison of the groups in terms of age, educational attainment, socioeconomic status and other variables should appear in the "Results" section. Your own experience and common sense can help determine whether the differences among them are important for the study.
What has changed since the information was collected?
A report should generally state in the abstract or summary when the information was collected. Ideally, the data used in a study will have been collected recently so that the information reflects the current situation. However, because national-level surveys can be quite expensive and time-consuming, data may not become public for several years and special analyses may extend over several years more. For example, in the United States, data from the large National Survey of Family Growth, which was conducted in 2002, became public only in late 2004, and analyses of the new data are still ongoing. Such delays are not necessarily a problem, but you may want to think about changes that have occurred in the intervening period (such as new policies, or big shifts in economic conditions) and whether the outcomes that were measured would be different today because of these changes.
Are the methods appropriate to the research purpose?
All research methods have advantages and disadvantages. The research question should drive the choice of research methods, but logistic matters, resource availability and ethical concerns can also influence that choice. To evaluate the findings properly, you should consider the method used in relation to the research question, and be aware of each method's advantages and disadvantages.
Social science studies can rely on either qualitative or quantitative methods or a combination of the two. As a rule, quantitative techniques (collecting and analyzing measurements such as height and weight, number of visits to a doctor's office, whether a person is currently using a contraceptive method, etc.) are best for answering questions such as "How much?" "How many?" "How often?" or "When?" By examining associations or correlations between factors, quantitative studies can also indicate important relationships, such as whether poor women are more likely than better-off women to have more children than they want. Qualitative techniques (recording and analyzing interactions with people through techniques such as in-depth interviews, focus groups or participant observation) may be more useful if the goal is obtaining a better understanding of complex contextual, attitudinal or behavioral issues or documenting a process.
Does the study establish causation?
Often, the goal of a study is to determine the effect of something: for example, a cancer-fighting drug, a youth development program or a social welfare policy. However, because social science takes place in the real world, it is usually difficult to isolate the effects of one discrete factor from all the other things going on in people's lives. Even if the study shows that a particular outcome occurred after a drug was administered, a program got under way or a policy was implemented, it can be difficult to prove that this intervention caused the outcome.
A researcher may observe events as they happen, without deliberately intervening, or may purposefully experiment by altering some aspects of a situation and testing the effects. Experimental designs require that information be collected both before and after the intervention, and ideally that the results be compared with those for a control group that was not exposed to the intervention. The controlled setting of an experiment enables a researcher to draw firmer conclusions about cause and effect. However, ethical factors often prohibit the use of experimental designs in work with human beings. For example, to investigate the impact of a new family planning clinic on the occurrence of unplanned pregnancy, a researcher could not ethically force some women to use the clinic's services and deny services to others.
By "controlling for" certain variables, the researcher can also rule out some possible explanations for the study results, even in the absence of an experimental design. For example, a data set might show that young women using oral contraceptives contract more sexually transmitted infections than young women who are not using them. This could suggest that the pills are causing infection; on the other hand, the young women using birth control may be more likely to be sexually active (and, thus, exposed to greater risk of infection) than those who are not. By using statistical techniques (for example, multivariate analysis or stratification) that eliminate the effects of sexual activity on the results, the researcher can determine which explanation is more likely to be correct.
A study's authors will report on what they think the study proves in the "findings" or "results" section (also summarized in the abstract). In general, studies--particularly observational studies--can prove only that an outcome is "associated with" or "correlated with" (rather than "caused by") a characteristic or intervention. The information may still be extremely useful, but be alert to researchers who make claims about cause and effect that seem dubious or who ignore other possible explanations for their findings.
Is the time frame long enough to identify an impact?
Studies can either follow their subjects over time, checking in with them at various intervals (a longitudinal study), or take a "snapshot" of subjects at a single moment in time (a cross-sectional study). A cross-sectional study is good for comparing groups, such as men and women, or teenagers in Kenya and teenagers in the Philippines. A series of cross-sectional studies conducted within the same general population (but selecting a different group of people each time) can also provide information on trends over time, such as changes in HIV prevalence, as long as the groups sampled are truly comparable.
Because a longitudinal study (also sometimes called a panel study or cohort study) follows the same group of individuals over time, it can be better for examining the effects of a particular intervention, as long as it allows enough time for adequate follow-up and is able to retain a sufficient number of participants throughout the course of the study. For example, to evaluate the impact of a sex education program, researchers should ideally study students not only before, during and immediately after the program, but also months or even years later to determine the long-term effect of the program, since some students will not begin to have sex until long after completing a sex education program.
Could the data be biased as a result of poor research design?
The wording and order of questions in a poll or survey can affect the answers participants provide. When possible, researchers should provide the actual wording of questions so that readers can evaluate whether the questions encouraged a certain response over another. Even when researchers make a great effort to word questions neutrally, some participants with low literacy may not understand a survey question, or cultural factors may affect how respondents interpret it.
One indication that survey results could be flawed is a low response rate. If the response rate is low (say, fewer than 70% of those selected), then the results may be biased because the people who participated are not representative of the target group as a whole. The response rate should be explicitly noted in the "Results" section of a report or article.
Studies of sexual and reproductive behavior face another hurdle. Participants do not always answer sensitive questions truthfully. For example, adolescent boys tend to over-report sexual activity, while adolescent girls tend to underreport it.
Are the results statistically significant?
When a quantitative study uses a sample (as opposed to surveying an entire population), it is important to determine mathematically that there is little probability the result could have occurred by chance--that is, that a different sample could have produced other results. In the social sciences, a study finding generally is considered statistically significant if there is no more than a 5% probability that it could have occurred by chance (often expressed as a "p-value" of 0.05 or less). Researchers must report on the results of all hypotheses, regardless of whether or not they reach statistical significance.
Statistical significance alone is not enough to prove cause and effect, but it lends credibility to an argument. Statistical significance also does not necessarily mean an association has substantive significance; that is, it does not necessarily make a study finding important. In a large enough sample, a small difference can be statistically significant but of limited real world importance.
The answers to these 12 questions should help you evaluate and interpret reports of research findings. Of course, a study may be flawlessly designed, conducted without bias, appropriately analyzed and statistically significant, yet convey nothing important to you. But if the findings are something that you care about, and you believe that the research is sound, you are in a position to play a critical role in social science research--interpreting the findings and transmitting them to the wider world to have a greater impact.

Key Questions to Ask When Reading a Social Science Research Report
* What makes the study important?
* Do the findings make sense?
* Who conducted the research and wrote the report?
* Who published the report?
* Did the researcher select an appropriate group for study?
* If comparison groups are used, how similar are they?
* What has changed since the information was collected?
* Are the methods appropriate to the research purpose?
* Does the study establish causation?
* Is the time frame long enough to identify an impact?
* Could the data be biased as a result of poor research design?
* Are the results statistically significant?
Research Designs
Surveys gather information from relatively large numbers of individuals. Polls, for example, collect people's opinions on an issue or their reactions to an event. Larger surveys gather more detailed information about people's background and behavior as well as attitudes and beliefs. When repeated on a regular basis, surveys can document trends, and sophisticated analyses can suggest the reasons behind the trends.
As long as the group of people surveyed is scientifically selected, surveys are good for explaining what people in general think or do and for identifying subgroup differences. Statistical analysis allows a researcher to draw a more comprehensive picture of the study population by breaking down the information in various ways (For example, are the women in a group more likely than the men to talk with their children about sex? What about urban parents vs. rural parents?). By examining relationships among many variables, the researcher can understand which factors are most relevant.
Qualitative Research can provide rich detail and insights into the complexity of human behavior. Unlike surveys, though, qualitative designs do not produce findings meant to apply to the population as a whole.
In focus groups, several people discuss a topic with guidance from a moderator. These discussions can document a general consensus among a group. In-depth interviews collect information from individuals one-by-one, like polls and surveys, but generally the researcher does not quantify the findings for statistical analysis, instead using interviewees' stories for deeper understanding of an issue.
Ethnographic studies and case studies provide in-depth analysis of a small number of cases (individuals, neighborhoods, clinics) over time. They provide very rich data and can offer powerful, illustrative stories--valuable for journalists trying to convey a situation to readers. However, their very depth and specificity mean that the results cannot be easily generalized to other situations.
Trials test the effect of an intervention, such as a vaccine or an educational program. In an uncontrolled trial, the researcher examines a subject group before and after applying the intervention and measures the difference. In a controlled trial, the researcher adds a "control group," which is comparable in every important way to the subject group but does not receive the intervention. If the groups are truly similar at the beginning of the study and carefully monitored to limit influences (other than the intervention) that might affect outcomes, then changes that occur in the subject group, but not in the control group, can be said to result from the intervention.

National Concert Hall - dreadful facilities
The National Concert Hall has some good concerts but the facilities are dreadful! When I was there, there were only 3 working toilets in the ladies upstairs with about 550 seats. I know it's quite common for Irish men to urinate in public but this is the only place where I had witnessed middle aged Irish women to urinate in a cubicle without a door - in full view by everyone else. This is third world and ridiculous!
Would suggest concert goers to across the road to the Conrad if you are desperate or are not an exhibitionist.

Absolutely beautiful. It can be worn in summer or a statement piece in winter. I am 5'2" 119lbs. I got a small and it fits perfectly. The shoulder pads are not too intense either. If I were taller I think it would be a bit too short. But I Love it!
Beautiful dress, true to size, very short, if you plan on walking up stairs or bending over, I highly recommend leggings. Shoulder pads add architecture to the dress. Hugs the body.
I loved the pattern on this dress, but when it arrived it didn't fit very well. I'm 5' 3 and 145 and a lot of me is boobs and butt. I ordered a large but it was still too short. This dress is probably good for someone with smaller bust/butt. Would be cute on a more petit girl. Only thing I genuinely did not like was that it has shoulder pads... Would have wanted to take those out if it was a keeper.

Hand pollinating vanilla orchids
After three years I finally have blooms! I watched a few "how-to" videos but I haven't found one that clearly shows the process. I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has tried this.
I've done it a few times. I used a wood skewer to collect the pollen. Hold the flower so it is facing up and you are looking down at it, this way if the pollen falls off the stick it will be easy to pick up again. The flower doesn't open very wide so use your thumb and pointer finger to spread it open. Place the skewer below the anther cap and pull up toward you. The anther will flip up like a hinge leaving the yellow pollen sac on the skewer tip. Under the anther cap is a bump called the stigma. Put the pollen on the stigma. I attached a photo of a cattleya showing how to hold the flower.
I've seen people pull off the flower petals to make it easier to see inside. I've always had trouble getting the pollen to stick to the skewer, I like to wet the tip of the skewer a little to make the pollen stick better, if you have one of those clear blobs of sugar on the flower stalk you could roll the skewer in it to make it sticky.
Hurry up the flower is only open for one day!
The beans are another problem altogether.
Last year I got about 20 beans, it took about 10 months for them to ripen. I haven't figured out how to cure them yet. I did manage to get a few that turned out OK, I put them in a bottle of Absolute for a month. It tasted pretty good.
You may have better luck in Hawaii, New Jersey isn't known for it's vanilla production.
Good luck with the procedure besides the difficulty of pollinating there's also the problem of curing the pods. You'll figure why vanilla is so expensive?? lol
Interesting that while native to mexico madagascar is the largest commercial producer .Would love to tour one of those farms .Can't imagine how it's done on such a large scale?? gary

no climax
Interesting tale. The author, however, wrote in a manner that didn't provide a climax to the story. I didn't like her one dimensional style

A compilation that culls tracks from a series of 'lecture concerts' that took place between September 2003 and February 2004 at Mesar Haus, Tokyo. Kicks off with a fantastically dense hurdy-gurdy drone from Keiji Haino and also features tracks from guitarist Kazuo Imai, pianist Junichiro Okuchi, shamisen master Michihiro Sato, turntablist Otomo Yoshihide and saxophonist Masayoshi Urabe.
Nicely presented/compiled art book, put together by Lawrence English with contributions from a head-spinning range of artists on the subject of 'dead silence': ranging across art, text, essays, letters and photography with contributions from musicians/artists/writers such as Keiji Haino (who discusses the meaning of 'Seijaku'), Liz Harris aka Grouper, Alan Licht, Makino Takashi, Jamie Stewart, Marina Rosenfeld, James Webb, Benoit Pioulard, Steve Roden, Eugene Carchesio, Terre Thaemliz, Sandra Selig, Jack Sargeant, Philip Samartzis, Greg Hainge, Ross Manning (Sky Needle), David Toop and Heiko Muller.
Unbelievable new Japan-only CD from Keiji Haino's ferocious electro psych/metal/punk trio Sanhedrin: following on from 2008's Sun Head Ring, Sukino Godaburyu Ichiechi is the third Sanhedrin album and sees Haino on guitar and vocals, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins/Musica Transonic et al) on drums and Mitsuru Nasuno on bass playing in an incredible monomaniacal six-limbed style that combines slashing single chord ascensions, the sound of holy choral and annihilating basement prog. Bassist Nasuno's input is key, playing with a massively F/X damaged electric bass that functions as a lightning rod for some of Haino's most perfectly poised guitar work, flitting between heavy powerchord accompaniment and spurts of epic six string excess before dropping into zones of pure reverb heaven as he sings softly to himself in the style of the most soul-scraping Fushitsusha recordings. There are also long sections of weirdo two note electro hypnosis, with Haino threading clean runs around it like coils of DNA while Yoshida plays in a slow nod-out style. But with Sanhedrin it's hard to isolate individual instrumental contributions as the group mind is so strong they seem to move as a single monolithic juggernaut and this is easily the apex of their amazing free metal sound. Packaged in a slim DVD style case w/classy snaps. Very highly recommended!
Third volume in this on-going series that documents various stages of evolution of the Japanese underground: following the 70s and 80s the 90s set is the real gravy and represents the decade that was the most creatively accelerated in terms of underground activity. Cream of the crop here is an amazing studio recording from the classic trio Fushitsusha line-up, "Magic V", with Haino on electric guitar and vocals, Yasushi Ozawa on electric bass and Jun Kosugi on drums recorded during the sessions for their 1993 album for John Zorn's Avant label, Allegorical Misunderstanding. Haino's vocal are particularly potent, moving from a high lamenting style to aggressive epiglottal action while the group work the kind of complex rock rhythm equations that would come to define their current incarnation. But that's not all. There's a classic "Moungod" live ritual from Masaki Batoh's Ghost, from their classic self-titled 1997 debut, "Moungod Te Deum" and Hoppy Kamiyama's legendary God Mountain label is represented by Demi Semi Quaver's "A*merika". We also get a great goof of a track from 'noise' legends The Gerogerigegege and tracks from Phew, composer/trumpeter Jun Miyake, Ryuichi Sakamoto, E*trance, weirdo J-pop from Takako Minekawa and of course no 90s overview would be complete without a track from legendary guitarist/songwriter and Org recording artist Idiot O'Clock. A great and wide-ranging overview of the creative tumult of underground music in Japan in the 1990s. Recommended.
Original two-track 2007 release w/colour sleeve of this massive/obscure solo set from Japanese underground legend Ikuro Takahashi (Fushitsusha/Kousokuya et al) here making violent Industrial noise w/heavy meta oscillator attack. Long OOP.
12" EP of heavy martial psychedelic rock from these Japanese stadium-floaters and Tokyo Flashback stars, produced and remixed by You Ishihara of Stars/White Heaven et al. A-side is a long remix of "Soft Death", b-side features instrumental remix and "It Was A Robot".

Final Road Signs on the Pathway to Exam Success
Here are seven tips and strategies for preparing the outline portion of the Contracts final exam.
1. Save any summary of the facts for the Essay.
The issue spotting outline is just that: an issue spotting outline. Include statements of fact where relevant to explain different ways in which legal issue may be resolved.
The fact pattern states: "A and B met on the street and started talking. A said, 'I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.' B said, 'If you're that hungry, I'd be happy to help you out.' A walked to a nearby hamburger stand and ordered a hamburger. He turned to B and said, 'Please pay the cashier for me.' B refused. A sued B for breach of contract. What can A recover, if anything?"
Begin by writing:
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?"
You do not need to repeat or summarize the facts.
2. Keep separate issues separate.
In A v. B above, there are three major issues: Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement? If so, did B breach that agreement? If B breached the agreement, what should A recover?
Organize them as follows:
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?
II. If so, did B breach that agreement?
III. If B breached the agreement, what should A recover?
Do not combine them. For example, do not organize them as follows:
I. Did B breach an enforceable agreement with A?
II. Can A enforce the agreement by collecting damages from B?
3. Prioritize legal issues instead of factual conflicts. Use factual conflicts to illustrate how legal issues may be resolved.
In A v. B above, write:
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?
A. Did A make an offer to B? An offer will be found if the following elements are satisfied: intent to enter into an agreement if the offer is accepted; etc. etc. …
1. Is element one satisfied by A's statement, in context?
2. Is element two satisfied by A's statement, in context?
B. Did B accept an offer by A? Acceptance will be found if the following elements are satisfied: intent to enter into an agreement, etc. etc. …
Note how that framework focuses on a legal question, because the answer leads to legal consequences.
Don't write:
I. What did A intend when A spoke to B?
A. A and B have a contract if B accepted A's offer.
Note how that framework prioritizes a factual question: What did A intend? That is important, but only because it helps us answer a prior legal question. Even once we know A's intent, we do not know anything that – alone – makes a difference under the law.
4. Connect each statement of a legal issue with a statement of the relevant legal rule. Any statement of an issue will present multiple, equally clear ways of doing that.
In A v. B above, extend the issues with rules as follows:
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement? A and B are bound by an agreement if A can prove that B manifested assent to an offer made by A, that the terms of the A/B agreement are reasonably certain, and that A's promise was exchanged for consideration.
A. Was A's statement reasonably understood by B as an offer? A needs to prove that a reasonable person in B's position would have understood that A was making an offer.
(1. and 2. as necessary, etc.)
B. Did B manifest assent to A's offer? A needs to prove that a reasonable person in A's position would have understood that B was manifesting assent to A's offer.
C. (and so on)
II. If so, did B breach that agreement? Any failure to perform an enforceable promise may be a breach of the agreement.
A. Did B make an express promise to pay for A's hamburger?
B. Did B make an implied promise to pay for A's hamburger?
III. If B breached the agreement, what should A recover? A nonbreaching party is ordinarily entitled to recover as damages the difference between the value of the goods or services provided by the breaching party and the value of the goods or services actually tendered.
A. What was the value of the thing that A bargained for in the A/B agreement?
B. What was the value of the thing that B provided under the A/B agreement?
OR, use the following format:
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?
A. A and B are bound by an agreement if A can prove that B manifested assent to an offer made by A.
1. Was A's statement reasonably understood as an offer? A needs to prove that a reasonable person in B's position would have understood that A was making an offer.
(a. and b. as necessary, etc.)
2. Did B manifest assent to A's offer? A needs to prove that a reasonable person in A's position would have understood that B was manifesting assent to A's offer.
B. A must also prove that the terms of the A/B contract are reasonably certain.
1. Etc. etc.
C. A must also prove that B's promise was supported by consideration.
1. Etc. etc.
Note that the fact that alternative formats are possible means that alternative formats are permitted in order to connect legal issues and legal sub-issues.
5. List the issues in a logical sequence.
Organize the issues above as follows:
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?
II. If so, did B breach that agreement?
III. If B breached the agreement, what should A recover?
Do not organize them as follows:
I. What are A's damages?
II. Did B breach a contract with A?
III. Did B accept A's offer?
6. Use complete sentences.
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?
I. Enforceability of the A/B agreement.
7. Be as clear and explicit as possible, using appropriate contract law language.
I. Did A and B enter into an enforceable agreement?
I. Did A and B have a meeting of the minds?
Finally, note this:
The purpose of asking you to produce outlines is to enforce the expectation and the discipline that all legal writing should be clear and direct and should be organized in a logical and consistent manner. So, even if you follow none of the recommendations here, or if you follow only some of them, or if you follow all of them but only some of the time, remember the virtues of clarity, directness, logic, and consistency.
Contracts – Section B: Exam Instructions for Fall 2014
[The format and instructions for the final exam for the Fall 2014 edition of Contracts (Section B) will be substantially in the following form. The content of the exam will focus principally on the material discussed in Sections V and VI of the Syllabus. It is expected, however, that students will know and be able to use and apply the major contract law concepts and tools introduced and discussed throughout the course.]
Three (3) Hours, open book
This examination consists of [number] pages, including this page. Make sure that you have all [number] pages. If you do not, notify the proctor immediately.
This is a three-hour, open-book exam. You may use any books or materials you wish. You may not submit any prepared notes with your answer, and you may not discuss cases or sections of the UCC or the Restatement that were not on the Syllabus.
You will have one hour to read the exam and think about your answer, making rough notes if you wish. During that hour you may not write in your blue book or work on your computer. After that hour is over, you may begin outlining and/or writing your answer.
Your answer must consist of two parts.
In the first part, you will outline the legal issues you identify in the fact scenario (the "issue spotting outline"). Use complete sentences; for example, an issue involving mutual assent might be phrased as follows: "The defendant may argue that its promise is unenforceable because the defendant did not timely accept the plaintiff's offer." You should identify all legal issues that are reasonably presented by the facts. You should break major legal issues into related legal and factual sub-issues as much as you see you fit. If you have a factual question or note a factual ambiguity, you should note that explicitly and identify how further factual clarity would affect your issues outline. You should cite a case (briefly, just by name), Restatement or UCC section if that is necessary to make clear the legal basis for an issue you are raising, but there is no need to cite any cases, Restatement or UCC sections for basic propositions about contract law. Do not include any analysis of the issues you identify in the outline. The total number of points for this exam is 100; this issue spotting outline is worth 50 points.
When you are finished with your outline, you must choose one legal issue that you judge to be important to the advice you are asked to give in the problem. This legal issue may involve legal sub-issues. You must then analyze that issue in depth and write out and reach a final assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your client's legal position [or of the argument that you are asked to analyze] with respect to that issue only. Be sure to frame your assessment as a response to the question or questions posed in the fact scenario. You may, if you wish, explain or justify your choice of issue. In grading the exam, I will not assign points separately regarding the choice of a legal issue for this portion of your answer. However, the quality of your analysis will be assessed in part based on whether the legal issue that you choose is important to analysis of the fact scenario taken as a whole. Your analysis is worth 50 points.
In the event that you change your mind about what issue to write about after you begin your analysis, do not change issues. Instead, you should explain at the end of your analysis why your judgment has changed and what other issue you would have written on had you recognized this sooner in the exam. I will take your explanation and proposal for an alternative issue for analysis into account when assigning points for this part of the exam.
As a guideline, you should spend equal time on the issue spotting section and the analysis sections of the exam.
The problems posed in this examination take place in the hypothetical State of Sell. You should assume that the State of Sell is a common law jurisdiction that has endorsed the Restatement (2d) of Contracts as part of the common law of that state. Its legislature has also enacted Articles I and II of the Uniform Commercial Code in their current form.
Contracts – Fall 2014: Sample Assignment Two Answer (excerpt)
Following requests in class that I sketch a sample, model answer to the second assignment, I promised to supply one model paragraph. I invested a little more time than expected in writing something up. Here is a top-to-bottom version of how an answer to the assignment might have been presented. To be clear: This is only one version of an answer, and an incomplete version at that. For example, below I have relied essentially on Section 201 of the Second Restatement, but it would be equally plausible to organize the answer around the plain meaning rule, from Lou's standpoint, and then to consider the likely application by WJM of the rule on contract interpretation and parol evidence described by the court in Taylor. An answer that used those legal principles, instead of the rule I included below, would lead to an analysis of the facts that is substantially the same as the one presented, I think. But the outcome of the case (i.e., who should win) is not the point to take away; reasonable minds could differ on that. And reasonable minds could and probably should find additional legal arguments to raise and consider on the facts. The point to take away is the structure of how the material is presented.
[If you wish, state a conclusion as the introduction:]
I counsel Lou that his potential case against WJM is weak, because he will have a hard time proving that WJM knew or should have known of Lou's present interpretation of the agreement at the time that the parties signed it. Here's why.
[Set up the problem:]
Lou's claim against WJM is based on the following provision in the parties' agreement: ""If the Chuckles Project is produced by WJM as a motion picture, Lou shall be employed by WJM to render all customary services as producer, in exchange for ten (10) percent of the gross revenues associated with distribution of the motion picture." Lou argues that WJM produced the Chuckles Project as a motion picture but failed to employ Lou as producer; accordingly, Lou is entitled to 10 percent of the picture's gross revenues. We anticipate that WJM will argue that WJM was required to hire Lou as producer only if WJM agreed to make the movie as a result of its initial review of the Chuckles Project. We anticipate that WJM will support this interpretation with the argument that a different provision of the agreement provides that if the film is not placed elsewhere and WJM is not reimbursed for its expenses before the end of the Turnaround Period, Lou's rights regarding the Project cease and WJM becomes the owner of the Project. WJM will likely argue that the Turnaround Period has expired and its development costs have not been reimbursed; accordingly, WJM is entitled to make the movie with the producer of its choice and not pay anything to Lou.
[Set up the rule that is relevant to the problem:]
The success of Lou's claim depends on Lou's application of the principles of contract interpretation where the parties disagree about the meaning of a contract term. Where the parties have applied different meanings to a promise or an agreement, then the provision in question is interpreted according to one party's meaning if, when the contract was made, that party did not know of any other meaning attached by the other and the other knew of the meaning attached by the first party, or that party had no reason to know of any different meaning attached by the other, and the other had reason to know the meaning attached by the first party. Restatement (2d) section 201; Frigaliment.
[Apply the rule to the facts of the problem:]
Applying that principle, Lou has two methods of proving the case that he should have been hired by WJM regardless of the expiration of the Turnaround Period or repayment of WJM's costs. He must show either (1) that WJM knew that Lou expected to be hired as producer of the Chuckles Project if and whenever WJM made the film, and that he (Lou) did not know that WJM believed that the contract required hiring Lou only if WJM made the Chuckles movie as a result of its initial review; or that (2) WJM had reason to know of Lou's intended meaning, and Lou had no reason to know of WJM's meaning.
Each argument will be difficult for Lou to sustain. Lou is an "A-list" Hollywood producer, famous and successful for his work with comic book movies. It is reasonable to suppose that he was familiar with Hollywood contracts and with "first look" producing contracts in particular. Even if Lou was not personally familiar with contracting language and contracting customs, it is reasonable to suppose that Lou had sophisticated agents and counsel who are familiar with both things. It is reasonable to suppose that WJM, likewise, was familiar with movie industry contracts and customs and had access to sophisticated lawyers. Moreover, the initial facts provide that both parties knew, by industry custom, that the contract language was intended to provide a level of financial reassurance to WJM in connection with the studio's costly up-front investigation of the wisdom of making the movie, and that Lou would be paid either by WJM, or by a second studio that might pick up the project if WJM passed on it. The "termination of rights" provision will be offered by WJM as evidence that the contract advances that customary understanding.
Further research, such as further interviews with Lou and possible depositions of key WJM executives and/or industry experts, may flesh out that story and possibly provide more compelling evidence that Lou did not know of WJM's interpretation and had no reason to know of it, and that WJM knew or should have known of Lou's interpretation. WJM's interpretation of the "termination of rights" provision may be challenged on the ground that it creates ambiguity that needs to be resolved via further testimony. The need for further testimony in general, however, suggests that as the matter now stands, the evidence appears to be (at best) equally divided, for and against Lou. On analogous facts regarding the weight of the evidence, the plaintiff in Frigaliment was denied relief.
Therefore, I would advise Lou that he has a weak claim.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Too many doltish rules ruining NFL
Game would be great if half the rule book was ditched
The NFL is America's pastime, hands down.
Imagine how much fun it would be if they got rid of about half the rule book.
Related Items
The replay challenge penalty? The tuck rule? Muffed punts can't be advanced?
Ridiculously harsh. Completely unnecessary. No idea why it's like that.
The league clearly has too many folks on the payroll who have too little to do, so they get together from time to time in fancy hotels to come up with ways to justify their existence.
The result is a set of rules that have grown into a convoluted mess, with no sense of what is reasonable or even needed. It's as though the NFL is trying to keep everyone -- the players, the fans, the coaches, even the officials -- in a constant state of guesswork.
We can imagine a day when we'll hear the referee explain a call thusly:
"Due to the coach challenging a play that was already subject to an automatic review, but because he was able to tuck his red flag back into his pocket before he muffed it, we will assess a 15-yard penalty, run 20 seconds off the clock, and order his team to switch conferences."
A bit over the top, but not by much.
The league needs to get busy, expunging the rules that aren't needed and bringing some common sense to the rest. Start with the head-shaking replay rule that may have cost the Detroit Lions a much-needed win on Thanksgiving Day.
That one should be erased from the books immediately.
"This comes up every year," said Ray Anderson, the NFL's director of football operations. "Can we simplify and be more cohesive and get rid of some rules that may be offshoots? We will go through that exercise again. We have rewritten some of the rule book over the course of the last few years, to try to simplify it and get it to be more coherent."
Clearly, there's still a lot of work to do, thanks to a "we must have a rule for everything that can possibly happen on a football field at any given time in the course of human history" mindset.
The replay challenge penalty has already been called several times, including the previous week in Atlanta, but no team was impacted more than the Lions' in their overtime loss to the Texans. For those eating turkey at the time, the officials clearly blew a call on a long touchdown run by Houston. Detroit coach Jim Schwartz, justifiably outraged, threw his red challenge flag to make sure the play was reviewed. That wasn't necessary, since scoring plays are subject to an automatic check from the replay official.
So, a sensible person might say, what's the problem? The officials pick up their yellow flags all the time. They could just tell the coach to take a chill pill.
But the NFL decided that coaches wanting to challenge a call that was already going to be reviewed anyway was a potential menace that could ruin the very fabric of the game. That without some of rule to prevent unnecessary dissent and embarrassment of officials, the field could run red with challenge flags.
So, when a coach commits such a grievous act, he is assessed a 15-yard penalty (the same sanction that's handed out to a player who tries to rip off an opponent's head). And not only does his team lose the yardage, the officials are no longer allowed to review a play they were going to look at in the first place.
Anderson, in perhaps the most obvious statement that will ever come from his lips, acknowledged the penalty "may be too harsh" and will be reviewed immediately.
Hey, while they're at it, here's a few more things the NFL needs to change or eliminate:
-- The tuck rule. Why this one is still around -- more than a decade after it reared its ugly head in a New England-Oakland playoff game -- remains one of life's great mysteries. If a quarterback's arm is going forward when he loses the ball, it's an incomplete pass. If not, it's a fumble. Simple as that. Allowing a team to keep the ball because the QB lost control while trying to tuck it away is utter nonsense.
-- A muffed ball can be recovered by the punting team, but not advanced. Apparently, this one stems from the theory that a returner who touches the ball but never has control of it didn't actually fumble. Hogwash. If the coverage team can recover the loose ball, they should be able to run with it. Period.
-- Interference penalties. The NFL is always reluctant to copy the college game, but this is one case where it clearly should. When a defensive back interferes with a receiver, it should be a 15-yard penalty (as it is in college), not marked at the spot of the foul (the pro rule). Maybe if the defender flagrantly drags down a receiver, the current penalty could still be applied. Otherwise, there's no reason for interference -- a debatable call in so many cases -- to potentially result in a much worse penalty than a horrific personal foul (which is 15 yards).
-- Overtime. The NFL rightly decided a few years ago that it wasn't fair for a game to potentially be decided by a coin flip. Of course, they didn't just go with the obvious solution (allowing each team to have at least one offensive possession in overtime), coming up with a "modified sudden death" rule. If the receiving team scores a TD on its first possession, it wins the game. But if the team getting the ball first kicks a go-ahead field goal, the other team gets a possession. Another example of the NFL over-thinking a problem.

Okra died!
mulberryknobSeptember 30, 2006
My okra began dieing in early Aug and was just bare stalks, less than four ft tall, by late Aug. Most years I bend over 8 ft tall stalks to pick until frost. Anybody have any ideas? I mulched with grass clippings as usual and watered with a soaker hose as usual.

Like Most People on the whole big interweb, over the years I have signed up for loads of acounts and many different websites.
The question is, is there a website or program which can list all the websites that you have signed up for on a particular email address or username?
It would be handy to get rid of accounts i dont use any more, no use having your information stored on sites you no longer use.
Thanks for the help!

Walker Blames Senators For Mining Flop
Governor Scott Walker is blaming 17 state senators for putting politics before putting people back to work; costing our state thousands of jobs. In his weekly radio address, Walker said those actions led a mining company to pull out of the state, taking with them $1.5 billion and 2300 jobs. He says mining is what this state is all about.
Walker says it's a shame that 17 Senators refused to compromise and prevented thousands of jobs and over a billion dollars of investment. He also said he will call a special session if and when 17 state Senators are ready to set aside politics and pass a bill that ultimately leads to more Wisconsin jobs.
Holmen School Aide Pleads Guilty To Growing Pot

Dustin Wood pleads guilty to two criminal counts, while three other counts are dropped. All the charges will be dismissed if Wood obeys terms of the agreement for the next two years. Otherwise, he could get more than 10 years in prison. Wood is on unpaid administrative leave from his post as a special education aide for the Holmen schools.
Clean Government Group Says Lawmakers Leaving Work Undone
There's always somebody left a little unhappy at the end of a legislative session in Madison. No exception for the current one. Wisconsin lawmakers end their session today with many things they could have done, says Jay Heck from Wisconsin Common Cause, like creating disclosure rules for campaign spending and improving the redistricting process. Although, Heck says, he's not all that surprised they never got to those issues
Heck says the largest part of the failure of lawmakers to get traction on many issues is how divided the capitol remains.
Study Finds Highway Alternatives Costly
A restructuring of La Crosse's northside would be costly, but it could create some valuable returns as well. The essence of a nearly-completed study done on options for re-doing interstate exit three, the highlights of which were delivered in a presentation by the city last night. The DOT wants to rebuild exit 3 and some in city and county government believe that could be an opportunity to shift highways 35 and 53 and simultaneously open more land by the Black River for development and park area. Two alternatives in the study would channel traffic down George street, shutting down Rose, and displacing dozens of homes and businesses, costing the city thirty million dollars and creating a park by the river. The benefit? The road shift could triple property value in the area.
CAPX 2020 Now A Waiting Game
The public hearings are over.....public meetings are over........and now it's a sit and wait game for those involved in the CAPX 2020 high voltage tranmission line project. Tim Carlsgaard has gone to over 50 of these meetings and says in the end.........the public for both sides of the project came out and spoke.
The state's Public Service Commission will now go over all of the plans and all of the public comments and will rule in June where the lines will go and how powerful they will be. Construction would begin in 2013, with the line in service by 2015.

Originally written on TheProBasketballTalk | Last updated 11/18/14
Life is not all well and good in Lakerland. Reporters are asking tough questions about defense that the head coach can't answer because well, Mike D'Antoni has never been able to answer that question. Few knew this move would not work out because we see the real problems with the Lakers (defense) opposed to the fantasies by company men and fans who think the problems are related to Coaching (cheered the D'Antoni signing) and the missing of Steve Nash. Steve Nash will not stop the embarrassing fourth quarter defense that the Lakers try playing. Just don't piss off Mike D'Antoni with hard hitting questions about defense anymore, okay?
