Voters in New York and New Jersey affected by superstorm Sandy will be permitted to vote at any polling place in their respective states using a provisional ballot.
"Just because you're displaced doesn't mean you should be disenfranchised," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday, a day before Americans went to the polls to pick their next president.
Some polling places were completely unusable due to the storm, and some voters had sought shelter far from their polling places.
President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney held final campaign rallies in key states on Monday and appeared on Monday Night Football.
Polls show Obama, a Democrat, and Romney, a Republican, in a tight race. The Jewish vote was being seen as especially important in swing states, especially Florida.

Flight Operations
Lynx will operate as an FAA AST-licensed suborbital reusable launch vehicle. XCOR already has successfully passed the AST licensing process with an earlier vehicle concept, and we have been actively involved in the development of the statutory and regulatory framework within which Lynx will operate. Lynx will have aircraft-like operations up to four times per day from any licensed spaceport with a 2,400 meter (7,900 ft) runway, suitable abort options, fast turnaround (two hours), low maintenance intervals (designed for 40 flights before preventive maintenance action), and low cost operations. Lynx operates under visual flight rules (VFR), and initially it will only fly during days of good visibility. Mojave Air and Space Port, the planned first operating location for Lynx, has good visibility 360 days per year and acceptable winds 345 days per year.

The Presidency has denied that the nation's economy is in danger of collapse, saying all globally recognized indices indicate the economy is stable and on an upward beat.
Senior special assistant to the president on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe while reacting to concern by the Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN), said that the statement is lacking in substance.
He said that ACN's claim runs contrary to the verdicts of reputable international agencies who consistently upgraded the country's economic ratings in the last one and a half years.
"Contrary to the claim of the ACN that the cost of producing a barrel of oil had "skyrocketed" to 35 dollars in 2012 from 4 dollars in 2002, the actual cost of production stands at approximately 17 dollars per barrel. The cost of oil production per barrel had never risen as high as the opposition claims," he said.
Okupe faulted ACN again, saying that "for a fact, there are incidents of crude oil theft which had existed for several decades before this administration came on board. However, the truth is that this is currently being tackled through proactive steps by the government."
He said "one wonders if the ACN would have ignored the ratings by FITCH, STANDARD & POOR'S, MOODY'S and JP MORGAN if those bodies had turned in a negative verdict on the Nigerian economy."

It was a green carnival that the city never saw before. Young and old, kids and teens — all came out on lazy Sunday morning and showed that they do care for their 'polluted' city.
It was exactly three years back in 2011 that a report issued by the World Heath Organisation ranked Ludhiana at number one for being most polluted city in India and fourth most polluted in the world.
The industrial city, choking with rising pollution levels, was given a soothing balm on Sunday morning when residents came together and celebrated Earth Hour — from 8 to 9 am.
It also marked Ludhiana's official attempt to make Guinness world record for planting one lakh saplings in one hour. If initial figures are to be believed, then Ludhiana crossed one lakh mark and planted almost 1.5 lakh saplings.
From Ludhiana military camp planting 10,000 saplings at its four base stations to a small kid planting a little sapling in his garden, photographs of residents carrying out plantations near their homes flooded the official page of Earth Hour on Facebook, as they were instructed to do so to maintain the count for world record.
Cutting across party lines, Aam Aadmi Party leader H S Phoolka and Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria from Akali Dal participated in the drive. Phoolka visited various sites and planted saplings while the mayor was seen in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar with his two daughters distributing saplings to residents.
"Kuch rukh lagde putt mainu, kuch lagde maanva; kuch dheeyan putt warge; kuch vaang bhraavan. (Some trees are like my sons, some like mothers, some like daughters and others like brothers). I remember these beautiful lines from a poem of great poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi. Trees are life and I am glad Ludhiana has realised this, better late than never. Today I felt peace within," said Padam Shri Surjit Patar.
Jatinder Manchanda and Jaswant Zafar, from NGO Sambhav and V-MAD, the brainchild behind the whole idea, said, "All we can say is 'Ho Gaya Sambhav'. We have crossed 1 lakh mark and it was kept in mind that saplings are planted where they will be taken care of by people who have planted them."
The evidence of 1 lakh plantation will be sent to the Guinness Book of World Records officials through photographs and videos. The registration drive called 'Ho Gaya Sambhav' was held at Guru Nanak Bhawan on Sunday evening where people who planted even one sapling were to submit evidence. "The proof can be submitted till July 23 or mailed to us at firstname.lastname@example.com," added Manchanda.
Shital Prakash, an environmentalist who planted 450 saplings at POWERCOM office with officials, said, "It was an event that the city never witnessed before. Now we need to take care of saplings that have been planted."
Small children were seen carrying saplings to nearby parks and their school campus on …continued »

Alex Delaware's debut. Having written novels for 13 years without any success, this book was my (alleged) final attempt to publish full-length fiction before having to face up to monumental inadequacy. I say alleged because it's unwise to underestimate the power of the obsessive-compulsive personality, so who knows what it would've taken to get me to finally knock it off?
I quit my job as a medical school professor to write BOUGH, and struggled to remedy what I felt were my two main deficiencies as a writer: cowardice about exploring my own life experiences, and inadequate plot. I finished the book in 1981, whereupon it was promptly rejected by several agents, one of whom opined, "You'd be a good non-fiction writer." Another said, "I kind of like it, but my secretary doesn't." The book sat in a drawer for two years until I connected with the gentleman and scholar who's remained my agent and close friend for twenty years, Barney Karpfinger. He sold it quickly. Finally, I was a writer, not a delusion-wracked loser. My advance payment was so small that I could've flipped burgers at McDonalds and done better. The publisher held the book until 1985, not really sure how to classify it and fully intending to relegate it to instant obscurity. The reading public felt differently and it became a word-of-mouth best-seller. No one was more surprised than I. Except, perhaps, my publisher.

That house just needs some renovation and fixing, and it'll be looking fine. It's actually pretty cozy if you look at it. It's neither too big nor too small. It's just the perfect size. I'd sure love to live in it once it's renovated. =)

It's back to school time in Oktibbeha County, and for the Junior Auxiliary, that means it's time for the annual Stuff the Bus event.
"The purpose of this event is to serve as many children as possible with the funds available," said Robin Parker, Child Assistance Committee Chair. "Historically this has involved making essential school supplies available to children at the beginning of the school year when those children have been referred by school counselors... It is one of our most important projects because we are able to fill an immediate need of children in our schools."
Stuff the Bus will take place at Wal-Mart Friday, July, 30 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Junior Auxiliary members will be stationed at each entrance to hand out a list of needs with a summary of prices for each supply. Items in need include pencils, notebooks, folders, rulers, glue, scissors and the like. School counselors from the Starkville School District and the Oktibbeha County School District work closely with the Junior Auxiliary to make a list of supplies that are greatly needed by children in the schools.
Patrons can take that list, and while conducting their weekly shopping, they can pick up a few of the items on the list, and then donate them to the Junior Auxiliary.
After the supplies are donated, the JA members continue to work with counselors throughout the year in case there are students that need additional supplies or have needs such as coats or clothing.
"Our goal is to meet the needs of all of the children in need from Oktibbeha County and Starkville School District," Parker explained. "We have a very long list, and will only be able to meet this need through community support at this school supply drive."
After the supplies are collected, JA members will work quickly to distribute the supplies to the respective schools so that children in need will have the materials they need on the first day of school, Parker added. Monetary donations will also be accepted during the Stuff the Bus event. Money collected will be used to purchase supplies that are not collected during the event.
JA is a nonprofit organization focused on improving the lives in the community.

Certainly, online banking, ATMs, digital cash, and E-Money have exploded into reality and into our daily routines in recent years. Whatever form money might take in your future, one thing is certain: You'll need a roof over your head, food and water to stay alive, and clothes to cover you. Those are just the basics, of course. To provide for yourself, you'll have to find a way to earn an income.
So, the simple answer to your question is that money will be part of an exchange for you. You'll trade your talents, time, and energy for a payback that you can put toward the stuff you need to survive . . . and the things that you decide you want beyond the basics.
Here are a few fun money facts:
By the way, as you imagine what's coming up in your future, consider this quote from an unknown author: "The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money."

File - This Oct. 5, 2011 file photo shows Apple founder Steve Jobs' home in Palo Alto, Calif. A suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with the theft of computers and personal items worth more than $60,000 from the Northern California home of the late Jobs. Thirty-five-year-old Kariem McFarlin, who was arrested earlier this month, is being held on $500,000 bail. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma, File)
PALO ALTO, California: Several computers and personal items worth more than $60,000 were stolen from the Northern California home of the late Steve Jobs in what authorities insist was a run of the mill burglary.
"I've never gotten this many calls from people," supervising Santa Clara County deputy district attorney Scott Tsui said of the July 17 theft in Palo Alto. "Other than the fact it involves Mr. Jobs, it's a pretty standard burglary case."
Kariem McFarlin, 35, was arrested Aug. 2 and charged with residential burglary and selling stolen property. He remains jailed with bail set at $500,000 pending an Aug. 20 court hearing.
Authorities believe that McFarlin was unaware that he had broken into the Jobs home.
"I'd imagine the suspect eventually realized whose house he was in, but outside, it was just another house in Palo Alto," Tsui said.
Palo Alto police reported a jump in residential burglaries in 2012, more than 100 in six months.
Jobs was known for a modest personal life and had lived in the residential neighborhood. Authorities suspect his seven-bedroom house was targeted because it was undergoing renovation and may have appeared less secure. They believe the house was unoccupied at the time of the burglary.
"We're not aware of anything stolen that was anything special or different from any other burglary. The computers, I'd imagine since he's Mr. Jobs, are Apple products," Tsui said.
McFarlin faces almost eight years in prison if he is convicted, prosecutors said.
The co-founder of Apple Inc. died last October at the age of 56.

Great Waters: An Atlantic Passage by Deborah Cramer, W. W. Norton, £22, ISBN 0393020193
ITS waters reach from the Arctic ice to the cold shores of Antarctica, and bring heat, fish and floating bits of plastic from the sunny Caribbean to the grey fjords of Norway.
The Atlantic Ocean, the subject of Deborah Cramer's dense yet poetic book, has long been travelled, yet we know little about its depths. Cramer, a science writer who has read a formidable number of original sources and secondary texts, covers everything from the beginnings of oceans and life itself to global warming and PCB pollution. History, geology and warnings of environmental catastrophes are woven into the log of her own voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in a research vessel.

At a hearing in San Jose, California federal court on Thursday, US. District Judge Lucy Koh ordered Apple CEO Tim Cook to be deposed by plaintiff attorneys in a case alleging an agreement between Silicon Valley tech giants to not poach each other's employees. The judge believes that internal emails prove that the companies felt the agreement would provide financial benefits to each other, despite the accord being in violation of Federal law.
A US Securities and Exchange Commission filing was made on Thursday, showing that Apple board member and former US Vice President Al Gore purchased 59.000 shares of Apple stock, currently worth over $29.6 million dollars. As a result of his board membership options, Gore paid $7.475 per share, paying $441,000 out of pocket for the shares.
In a new and rare interview with Wired's Steven Levy, Google CEO Larry Page held court on a variety of tasks. On the topic of rival Facebook, Page said that they were "strong" in its market, but also believes that the company is doing " a really bad job on [its] products." He took a moment to take a few shots at Apple, saying that he found the Cupertino business model of doing a few things well "unsatisfying." When asked about Steve Jobs' famous "thermonuclear" comment, he asked "how well is that working?" which dodged the fundamental accusation that Android is a "stolen" operating system.
Intel has reported its quarterly and annual earnings, posting decreases year-over-year in most aspects, but still beating analyst's estimates in some areas. The company states full-year revenue of $53.3 billion, operating income of $14.6 billion, with a net income of $11.0 billion. Intel generated approximately $18.9 billion in cash from operations, paid dividends of $4.4 billion to shareholders, and used $4.8 billion to repurchase 191 million shares of stock.

Taiwan computer manufacturer Acer is discontinuing its eMachines brand. The move, which will see the brand's operations come to a close, forms part of the company's overall move away from budget base models and towards ultrabooks and similar form factors, something CEO JT Wang started in late 2011.
The Microsoft Surface with Windows RT has been on sale for around three months. Although it landed with considerable fanfare, recent estimates suggest that Microsoft may have only sold around 1 million since the device went on sale. When we reviewed the Surface RT we felt it has some quirks, but overall felt that it was effectively a new class of device with potential and awarded it four stars. Many potential buyers could be holding off for the imminent arrival the Surface with Windows 8 Pro, but the Surface RT still has the same strengths going for it.
Security Essentials, the anti-virus and anti-malware software supplied by Microsoft has failed in anti-virus certification tests.

As a yoga teacher or yoga studio owner, how much should you charge for yoga classes?
Broadly speaking, there are 2 yoga class pricing options:
- Per yoga class (low, average, and high)
- Creative pricing options including packages and memberships.
Cost per yoga class:
Until you choose your yoga studio's location and know your studio square footage and rent amount (or mortgage payment amount), you won't be able to precisely determine your yoga class pricing model. Essentially, you must have a handle on your fixed and variable expenses before setting yoga class prices. Moreover, you must also, in time, figure out how many yoga students you will attract.
That said, the pricing model you may want may determine your studio space and customer service level. It's the classic egg and chicken scenario.
That's why your yoga class prices are part of your unique selling position. Generally, most yoga studios price their classes fairly similarly. There are some low-cost providers, but that's the exception. Of course the low-cost model is easy to implement, but you have to make sure that you'll generate enough revenue to survive or thrive.
Specific pricing options:
Unless you're in an upscale area or are the only yoga studio in town, you probably don't want to price your classes too high. The typical range (and this depends on your city/town) is $9 to $23 per class. $16 to $23 per class is the price in more expensive rent areas such as urban settings.
Click here to get my survey results from over 130 yoga studios who share class pricing.
Yoga classes aren't super price elastic. In other words, you won't greatly influence demand with price. Of course if you price classes at $100 per class per person, you'll probably have no students. Likewise, if you offer and advertise free classes, yoga students will pound down your door. If your yoga prices are within the $9 to $20 range, you probably won't see too much difference in demand.
It's important that you deliver what your students want; and that is a superb yoga class experience. If you deliver this, you can charge more. If your classes are the same, your customer service is terrible, and you teach like you're bored in a robotic manner, you'll see a drop off in the number of students.
Your yoga studio's success depends on a lot more than just price, but if you implement creative pricing packages, you can create exciting options for your valued clients. Also, your pricing will change as time goes on. If your classes are always full, think carefully about increasing your price. You don't want to anger your students with too much and too frequent price changes. When you increase your yoga class prices, explain it and give warning.
If your classes are empty, consider lowering your prices or run promotions. However, be cautious when lowering prices because it's not easy to increase them again. Well it's easy, but your students may not appreciate it.
Consider target pricing your yoga classes. Target pricing is pricing based on demand. Classes that get fewer students may increase attendance with a lower price.
Pricing Packages and Memberships
I'm particularly keen about yoga class packages and memberships.
I suggest you offer a variety of yoga class pricing packages. Don't just offer drop-in rates. Consider unlimited yoga packages (i.e. memberships), multiple class packages, batching packages, sharing packages, private packages, on-site packages, promotions, referral bonuses, first class/week free, holiday specials, and any other pricing plans you can think of. Also, ask your yoga students what type of pricing package they would like. It's important you seek and receive client feedback.
Ensure that the more expensive your package, the lower per/class the cost is. For example, if your drop in rate is $18 per class. Make it so a 10 class package results in a per class cost less than $18.
Be sure to post your prices clearly in your studio and on your Web site. Create a menu. After each package, if it's possible to calculate, give the per class cost. This is a great way to sell larger packages. As a business person, you must always strive to receive a dollar today rather than tomorrow, because a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
You can steadily increase revenues with memberships set up with auto-pay. Memberships are attractive because students can then practice yoga at your studio as much as they wish. It's good for you because you're guaranteed a certain amount of money per month from a set number of students who are your members.
Corporate Pricing
Many health clubs offer discounts to corporations who join and who have employees who join. Some countries offer tax incentives for companies to do this. Therefore, why not offer discounted corporate rates to attract local employees.
You could easily reach out to local businesses and explain your corporate pricing and let them know you'll offer discounts.
Family Discounts
Like corporate discounts, why not extend discounts to families that have 2 or more members (immediate family)?
Discounts for travelers
Why not offer discounts to travelers and get the word out to local hotels. You can access a ton of people this way. Although they won't become regularly attending members, in the long run a few hotels can send over a lot of paying customers.
Visitors may also need some yoga apparel … which if you sell results in additional revenue for you.
Gift Cards
Don't forget to offer gift cards. Make it easy for your students (or their friends and family) to buy more classes. This not only generates sales, but it's a great way to attract new students.
If you don't have the technology to offer auto-pay, self-booking, and/or gift cards, check out MindBodyOnline Yoga Studio Software. If you decide to try MindBodyOnline, mention Yoga Baron to get your first month free.
Displaying prices on your website
How do you display your pricing options on your website? Do you simply list them out or do you have attractive graphics presenting the various options such as the following:
You don't have to display your pricing graphically, but it's a nice touch and easy to decipher.
Factors that impact yoga class prices
Elements that enable you to charge premium prices
- Excellent teaching
- You and/or your teachers are recognized authorities
- Specialized yoga training (i.e. rehabilitation, weight loss or other specialties)
- Urban/upscale settings
- Swanky yoga studio (some people enjoy plush surroundings and will pay for it)
- Additional amenities such as sauna, changing rooms, lockers, lounging area, steam room, etc.
- Time of the class (consider charging more for popular classes – this may increase membership sales)
- Superb customer service
- Unique/unusual classes (i.e. yoga on stand-up paddle boards which requires you to invest in the paddle boards)
- Class duration (although I personally don't pay more for longer classes … I like classes in the 50 to 90 minute range)
- Teacher training courses (these fetch a premium, especially once you're a proven teacher training facility.
- Limited space
- High demand (college towns for example)
- Parking
Elements that prohibit charging premium prices
- Mediocre teaching
- Classes taught by new teachers (charge less to attract students who are understanding … I always am)
- Poor customer service
- Bare-bones facility
- Rural or suburban setting
- Generic class offerings that can be found anywhere
- Tons of class space (if you prefer to pack in 30 plus students per class and you have the space, you'll probably need to charge less per class.
Check out the competition
Although you shouldn't let your competition dictate what you charge if you offer something they don't, it will give you an idea what the market is willing to pay, especially if you're starting out. Visit their websites to learn about their pricing.
Take yoga class pricing seriously
The lion's share of your revenue is generated by class attendance. Therefore, it's an important part of your business. If you have 1,000 student visits per month, a $1 change in your per class pricing can increase or decrease your revenue by $1,000. That's a significant amount of money.

I have a bloodhound named Dwarf. He's four years old. Every other morning I hold Dwarf down with my elbow and dangle a piece of bacon from my breakfast in front of his face, just close enough so he can smell it but he can't eat it, and then I eat it right in front of his face, and then I laugh and laugh. No bacon for Dwarf.
I used to have a female bloodhound but she ran away after chewing through the screen door. The breeder kept calling the dog one of the bitches of the litter. I said she looked more like a cunt to me. I named her Cunt. Sometimes when Cunt was sleeping, I used to stick my fingers in her nostriles to see how long it would take her to realize she was not breathing and wake up. Sometimes it took five minutes. She would get up and walk away to find a different spot to sleep, and I would laugh and laugh.

In general terms, marginal cost at each level of production includes any additional costs required to produce the next unit. If producing additional vehicles requires, for example, building a new factory, the marginal cost of those extra vehicles includes the cost of the new factory. In practice, the analysis is segregated into short and long-run cases, and over the longest run, all costs are marginal. At each level of production and time period being considered, marginal costs include all costs which vary with the level of production, and other costs are considered fixed costs.
A number of other factors can affect marginal cost and its applicability to real world problems. Some of these may be considered market failures. These may include information asymmetries, the presence of negative or positive externalities, transaction costs, price discrimination and others.
Since (by definition) fixed costs do not vary with production quantity, it drops out of the equation when it is differentiated. The important conclusion is that marginal cost is not related to fixed costs. This can be compared with average total cost or ATC, which is the total cost divided by the number of units produced and does include fixed costs.
For discrete calculation without calculus, marginal cost equals the change in total (or variable) cost that comes with each additional unit produced. For instance, suppose the total cost of making 1 shoe is $30 and the total cost of making 2 shoes is $40. The marginal cost of producing the second shoe is $40 - $30 = $10.
A long-run cost function describes the cost of production as a function of output assuming that all inputs are obtained at current prices, that current technology is employed, and everything is being built new from scratch. In view of the durability of many capital items this textbook concept is less useful than one which allows for some scrapping of existing capital items or the acquisition of new capital items to be used with the existing stock of capital items acquired in the past. Long-run marginal cost then means the additional cost or the cost saving per unit of additional or reduced production, including the expenditure on additional capital goods or any saving from disposing of existing capital goods. Note that marginal cost upwards and marginal cost downwards may differ, in contrast with marginal cost according to the less useful textbook concept.
Economies of scale are said to exist when marginal cost according to the textbook concept falls as a function of output and is less than the average cost per unit. This means that the average cost of production from a larger new built-from-scratch installation falls below that from a smaller new built-from-scratch installation. Under the more useful concept, with an existing capital stock, it is necessary to distinguish those costs which vary with output from accounting costs which will also include the interest and depreciation on that existing capital stock, which may be of a different type from what can currently be acquired in past years at past prices. The concept of economies of scale then does not apply.
Much of the time, private and social costs do not diverge from one another, but at times social costs may be either greater or less than private costs. When marginal social costs of production are greater than that of the private cost function, we see the occurrence of a negative externality of production. Productive processes that result in pollution are a textbook example of production that creates negative externalities.
Such externalities are a result of firms externalising their costs onto a third party in order to reduce their own total cost. As a result of externalising such costs we see that members of society will be negatively affected by such behaviour of the firm. In this case, we see that an increased cost of production on society creates a social cost curve that depicts a greater cost than the private cost curve.
In an equilibrium state we see that markets creating negative externalities of production will overproduce that good. As a result, the socially optimal production level would be lower than that observed.
When marginal social costs of production are less than that of the private cost function, we see the occurrence of a positive externality of production. Production of public goods are a textbook example of production that create positive externalities. An example of such a public good, which creates a divergence in social and private costs, includes the production of education. It is often seen that education is a positive for any whole society, as well as a positive for those directly involved in the market.
Examining the relevant diagram we see that such production creates a social cost curve that is less than that of the private curve. In an equilibrium state we see that markets creating positive externalities of production will under produce that good. As a result, the socially optimal production level would be greater than that observed.
Of great importance in the theory of marginal cost is the distinction between the marginal private and social costs. The marginal private cost shows the cost associated to the firm in question. It is the marginal private cost that is used by business decision makers in their profit maximization goals, and by individuals in their purchasing and consumption choices. Marginal social cost is similar to private cost in that it includes the cost functions of private enterprise but also that of society as a whole, including parties that have no direct association with the private costs of production. It incorporates all negative and positive externalities, of both production and consumption.
Hence, when deciding whether or how much to buy, buyers take account of the cost to society of their actions if private and social marginal cost coincide. The equality of price with social marginal cost, by aligning the interest of the buyer with the interest of the community as a whole is a necessary condition for economically efficient resource allocation.

Tom Cadle, fondly referred to by friends as Chewbacca from Star Wars, embraced the Karate Kid 'wax on, wax off' ethos as beauticians at the Relaxation Centre, in Yorktown Road, spent three hours purging him of any hair last Thursday. [13]
He said: "Every since I've had the wonderful delight of hitting puberty I've had lots of suggestions from people saying I should get waxed - so of all the ways to raise money it had to be that!"
The College Town resident admitted he felt "anxious" before the waxing began and said: "My friends found it hilarious and my mum thinks I'm barmy. I said I wouldn't do it for less than £500 though, and I've done that."
His waxathon raked in more than £900 for two charities: Together For Short Lives, a charity helping youngsters with life-threatening illnesses, and Breast Cancer Campaign.
And people can still sponsor Tom via www.justgiving.com/travisperkinswaxing

TheRazor....The murder weapon was a dildo. The witness told me they saw it with their own eyes.
squealpiggy.....Did they really?
TheRazor.....er... no. They said they read some book written between 10,000 and 1500 years ago that said that the dildo was the murder weapon, none of them actually saw it. But they're pretty sure that they'll see the dildo for themselves after they're dead.
squealpiggy.....Then the dildo was not the murder weapon.

TheRazor....well the murderer did that after he killed him with the dildo so no one would know that the murder weapon was a dildo.

Humans, Supreme beings!!!! Hahahahah. That's a joke if there ever was one. [/QUOTE]
1. I think because bacteria cannot detect us, isnt the same as "humans cannot detect God.....therefore God exists".
Not being able to detect a thing doesnt mean that thing exists.
If its possible a God exists that is beyond our comprehension, then u could argue any and every imaginary being could possibly exist, but we and our 5 senses cannot detect them.
2. To laugh at the human mind and our species is actually to laugh at gods greatest creation. (God made man in his own image remember)
In our short time on Earth we havent detected life anywhere else in the known universe. Therefore, we are the only life we know of.
No one is suggesting we are 'supreme beings', or that there isnt higher life forms. But as it stands, we are the universes consciousness. The only animals capable of admiring and understanding the universe (or God).

USA Colgems Singles
Someday Man/
Listen To The Band
Released On April 26, 1969
Highest Chart Position:
Billboard: 81/63
Cash Box: 80/57
Record World: 74/60
Both sides charted in the top 100 on US Billboard,
so this is considered a double A-sided single.
Picture Sleeves:
Both sleeves are East Coast versions.
What is East Coast?
Someday Man, the original A-side was heavily promoted in trade ads
and was designated as the 'plug side' on the promo single.
However, DJs began to recognize the superiority of the B-side,
and this justified Colgems making an updated picture sleeve
with "Listen To The Band" above "Someday Man".
The weird thing is that this is one of the few sleeves
that didn't highlight the B-side on the reverse,
which forced them to print up these second picture sleeves.
Columbia/Screen Gems labels
hollywood pressing plant
Indianapolis pressing plant
Rockaway pressing plant
These labels are the only ones to have the "Screen Gems" info and
the time below the song title, in the bottom white portion.
Also, easy to spot with the "Arr."
abbreviation for "Arranged.."
Colgems Circle/Screen Gems Label
Indianapolis Pressing Plant
Transition record with both labels!

More relief food is to be sent to hunger-stricken families in Simanjiro district, Manyara region as the situation gets more critical each passing day, according to the government officials.
The district commissioner Mr. Khalid Mandia said although the district has received emergency food in the last two months, much more was needed following a recent assessment of the situation.
Without figures on the number of the families affected or the food needs, district administrator said they have requested for additional food supplies from the government because the situation has worsened due to the deepening drought.
"President Jakaya Kikwete has vowed no Tanzanian would die of hunger. So we would ensure more food is brought to save the lives of people in Simanjiro", he said during a visit to Simanjiro to assess the situation.
Mr. Mandia said there were little harvests of cereals in Simanjiro district during the just-ended 2010/2011 farming season due to insufficient rains, a situation also witnessed in much of Manyara and Arusha regions.
According to him, recently the district received 1,300 tonnes of maize was brought into the district from the Disaster Management Unit of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and distributed to badly affected villages.
Some of the maize was sold at Sh. 50 per kilogramme to the families in need of food while a portion was distributed free of charge to critically affected families which had no means to purchase it.
When tabling the 2011/1012 budget estimates of his ministry a fortnight ago, the Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, Prof. Jumanne Maghembe mentioned Simanjiro as one of the 53 districts badly affected by food shortage this year.
Other districts in Manyara region which face a critical food shortage are Babati and Mbulu. The situation, according to the minister, is much worse in neighbouring Arusha region where the looming hunger has been exacerbated by drying up of water sources.

AMES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa State University says it has hired the dean of engineering from Mississippi State University to fill the same position at ISU.
Sara Rajala will begin work on the Ames campus April 1. The university made the announcement Thursday.
Rajala has been engineering dean at Mississippi State since 2008. There she is credited with raising more than $30 million in private gifts and revising the strategic plan for the college of engineering.
She succeeds Jonathan Wickert, who was promoted in July to senior vice president and provost at Iowa State.

May frosts hurt apple crop in New EnglandCONCORD, N.H. — The answering machine message at Spiller Farms in York, Maine, cuts to the chase: "May 11 froze our apple crop."
By: Lynne Tuohy, Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. — The answering machine message at Spiller Farms in York, Maine, cuts to the chase: "May 11 froze our apple crop."
While many apple growers across the nation are enjoying an earlier-than-usual harvest, many in New England and parts of the upper Midwest are reeling from the effects of two hard frosts in May.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts the apple crop in every New England state except Rhode Island will be down by almost 20 percent compared to last year.
"This is the first time in 40 years we lost as many apples as we did," said Dick Fabrezio, owner of Windy Ridge Orchard in North Haverhill, N.H. "We've eliminated the wholesale operation and pick-your own for this season."
Fabrezio said he lost 80 percent of his apple crop — upwards of 5,000 bushels.
"We sell and make cider here, but all our cider apples will be bought this year," Fabrezio added, saying he has never before had to buy apples for cider.
The USDA forecasts also show Michigan's crop is down 47 percent from last year, but apple experts in Michigan hasten to note 2009 had a near-record crop. They agree Michigan is down 20-25 percent from an average year.
The frosts wreaked particular havoc because they came after an unseasonably warm spring in which apple trees blossomed early, making them most vulnerable to the mid-May frosts.
"May 11 is one of those dates you'll never forget," said Bill Lord, fruit specialist with the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension service, of the first day temperatures plunged in the region. Lord said most trees in New England were in full bloom when the sub-freezing temperatures hit.
Nationwide, the apple production forecast is down by only 5 percent, offset by a bumper crop in Washington — the nation's top apple grower.
Washington is forecast to harvest 250 million pounds over last year's crop of 5.4 billion pounds of apples. The 250 million additional pounds of apples expected in Washington is more than the combined harvest of all the New England states last year, which was 169 million pounds.
Still, pick-your-own orchards and smaller farms that supply local retailers and others are part of the fabric of a New England autumn, so the loss is being felt.
Alyson's Apple Orchard in Walpole, N.H., also lost 80 percent of its crop. That loss had a ripple effect on local wine and hard cider maker Steve Miner, who owns Silver Mountain Ciders in Lempster. Alyson's supplies the heirloom apples that Miner uses in most of his products.
Miner said he can't find heirlooms — the baldwins and the russets — anywhere else. He said he would probably cut production in half this year — to under 2,000 gallons — and resort to wines he's been stockpiling in the event of a bad year.
"I knew something like this would happen some day," Miner said. "I just didn't think it would be this bad."
Massachusetts suffered pockets of loss, but nothing like Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, said Jon Clements, fruit specialist for the University of Massachusetts Extension Service.
Tom Clark, owner of Clarkdale Fruit Farm in Deerfield, Mass., said he lost upwards of 25 percent of his apple crop from trees located in lower elevations on his farm.
"It's just depressing to go to the trees normally full of fruit and see nothing," Clark said. "There's a saying that fruit growers don't go to the race track or the casino because they gamble at home."
Frank Bushy, owner of Giles Family Farm in York, Maine, said he can't recall in 30 years at the orchard losing 40 percent of his crop, and it could have been worse.
"We were within 1 degree of losing everything," Bushy said. "I wouldn't call it a frost. It was a freeze — 24 degrees. We were pretty much past bloom. At 28-29 degrees we would have been all set."
New York state, the nation's second largest apple producer, is projected by the USDA to be down almost 8 percent — 180 million pounds less — below last year's yield.
Michigan is ranked third for apple production, and its freeze was just as severe. Minnesota also was hit.
Denise Donohue, executive director of the Michigan Apple Committee, said the state was seeking disaster relief from the government.
"Some people clearly were devastated and will qualify for low interest loans," Donohue said. Many commercial growers also insure their crops and can file claims for compensation.

Jersey Shore
Will Jersey Shore Start Over With a New Cast?
When rumors first surfaced that Jersey Shore Season 6 would be the final season, many thought that MTV would continue the highly successful franchise with a brand new group of guidos and guidettes. But Chris Linn, executive VP of programming at MTV, confirms that it just isn't happening.
"There are no plans for that at this time," Chris tells Entertainment Weekly, when asked if the show would reboot with new faces. "We've always been clear that this cast is lightning in a bottle. I don't think this is about format, for us it's always been about this cast."
Putting his vast knowledge of reality programming aside, it's true that none of the Jersey Shore copycats have worked in other countries, or even in the US. A recent example was Oxygen's Brooklyn 11223. That show premiered in March, but the cast remains unknown, and the buzz surrounding the show has died down considerably.
Fans will just have to face the fist-pumping music. The eight stars came together in a magical casting moment, and it would be next to impossible to plan magic in advance. We'll just have to wait and see if lightning strikes again — somewhere other than Seaside.
Jersey Shore Season 6 will premiere on Thursday, October 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

The County Where I Filed for Child Custody
The Ages of My Kids
The Type of Custody I Filed For
Sole custody (from current joint custody)
My Experience Filing for Child Custody in SC
I am trying to find out how long a temporary custody order is valid in South Carolina. My ex-wife failed to return my son, spitefully, falsely saying I abuse him. She was given temporary custody seven months ago. I'm waiting on a final hearing and haven't heard anything yet.
Lessons Learned
Not all parents are in the best interests of their children!
Jennifer Wolf, About.com Single Parents, says:
Contact the court directly to find out when the hearing will take place. At that point, the courts may decide to extend the temporary custody order, dismiss it, or put a permanent child custody order in place.

Review Details
Purifying Tonic
Product Review (submitted on March 8, 2013):
I used to use Equalizer from Bioelements but switched when I had a few spritzes left. This tonic smells great and goes on smooth. I like the way I can feel that it's on without feeling an after math of burn. I can tell that it helps hydrate my skin and doesn't make my skin rough. By the end of the day I don't have any oil or shine. The only downside is I HATE the pump. I think it pumps out fast and uncontrollable. I found a few ways to tackle it, but it doesn't help the stream all that much. It's worth the money!
Note from gloProfessional: Thanks for the feedback on the pump! We will pass this along to our product development team.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Illustrator: Nicola Heindl.
|The good folks of Putumayo seem determined to excise all gratuitous cuteness and cheeseball tendencies from their children's records, and that effort is especially appreciated on this Christmas collection, which veers sharply away from the kitsch that can ruin even the best-intentioned holiday compilations. The overall aesthetic here is low-key, acoustic, and -- in keeping with the overarching Putumayo mission -- culturally diverse without being self-consciously so. A simple ukulele-based version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" opens the album, followed by Martin Sexton and Leon Redbone's jazzy takes on classics "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Let it Snow," respectively. The most transformative renditions here include Kate Rusby's joyous "Here We Come A-Wassailing," which, in her lush voice, sounds like an original written straight from the heart; Brave Combo's instrumental "Jolly Old Saint Nick," which hums with spirited accordions and violins; and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's version of the Louis Armstrong hit "Is Zat You Santa Claus?," which combines whimsy with a touch of humorous mayhem. Kids will recognize and be able to sing along with most of the tracks here, and parents may just find a renewed enthusiasm for holiday songs they've heard over and over again. ~ Paula Carino

It is a sign of the times that 50 property owners in Guilford, one of Baltimore City's most affluent neighborhoods, are paying $10 a week to hire off-duty policemen to patrol streets and safeguard property. Guilford has never been known as a nest of rampant crime but the fear of lawlessness clearly is present there, too. By hiring professionals, Guilford residents are buying peace of mind.
Guilford's experiment with a private security force has some observers of the urban scene upset. Private security forces pit "neighborhood against neighborhood," asserts one scholar, labeling such efforts as undemocratic.
