U.S. travel during the Christmas and New Year's holidays will rise for a fifth straight year to reach a record, boosted by more automobile trips, AAA said.
About 94.5 million people will journey 50 miles or more from Dec. 21 to Jan. 1, the nation's biggest motoring organization said in a statement today. That's up from 94 million a year earlier and the most in data started in 2001.
People will travel more because the 12-day holiday period is a day longer this year and Christmas Day is a Wednesday, according to AAA, based in Heathrow, Fla. That makes it easier to plan vacations and other trips.
"While economic growth has stagnated and consumer confidence has fallen, Americans will not be Scrooges when it comes to traveling this year," Marshall Doney, AAA's chief operating officer, said in a statement.

A record 85.8 million people will travel by car and truck, up 0.9 percent from 2012. About 91 percent of holiday travelers will drive, up 0.2 percentage point from 2012.
The number of air travelers will decline 1.4 percent to 5.53 million and make up about 6 percent of the total, little changed from 2012.
Other modes of travel, including bus and train, will account for 3.3 percent of trips, or 3.1 million travelers, 4.2 percent less than a year ago.
The lowest average published airfares will fall 2.5 percent to $199 for round-trip tickets, AAA said. The daily rental rate for a mid-sized car will jump 15 percent to $63.
Almost 30 percent of Americans will take a trip, traveling an average of 805 miles, up from 760 last year, at a median cost of $765, up from $759.

This grain is so small that I don't need to pre-soak it. It takes longer to cook than some of the other grains, but is worth it.

Both times our family used your service, it was awesome...order waiting in resort cooler when we checked in...delivered to room immediately...really nice when traveling with small children...grandchildren...thanks!!!
I have recommended Garden Grocer to as many people as I can! Using this service was the best thing to do! After ordering on line a few days in advance, they had our groceries waiting for us in refrigeration when we arrived at the resort after a long day of travel. Kids are often hungry "now" and it's not always easy to get to a restaurant quickly while on vacation, so it's perfect to have back up food and snacks readily available.
Thank you for making grocery shopping for our Disney Trip so efficient and easy! We will use you every time we travel to Orlando!

Speculation grows that Energy Sec. Chu will step down
© Copyright Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2013- Rumors are swirling over whether or not Energy Secretary Steven Chu will be announcing that he will step down, perhaps as early as next week. However, a DOE spokesman says that "Dr. Chu is focused on his job as Secretary each day and hasn't made any announcements about his future plans."
Chu headed the Department of Energy since January 2009, where he led several "stimulus" projects stemming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that expanded renewable energy and smart grid technology. His department's controversy with Solyndra, which filed for bankruptcy after receiving around $500 million in federal subsidies, also marked his tenure.
Chu is the co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics on 1997 and previously held a position as the Director of the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. He also taught at the University of California as a Professor of Physics and Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology. Previously, he held positions at Stanford University and AT&T Bell Laboratories.

Hungry Gerbil
The saddest food should be emergency rations. The end of humankind is inevitable. It might be an epidemic, a meteor strike, nuclear war or something else. It doesn't matter. The last thing the last human on earth will eat will be some kind of long-lasting high-energy survival bar. That last human survivor will eat the bar while thinking: "Why am I eating this? Why am I still trying to live on? It will only prolong my loneliness..."
Seashell Salesman
The saddest food is bad cake. You start eating it thinking that while it's unhealthy at least you will enjoy it, but no, you won't enjoy it because it's bad. From the first bite until the last you are stuck eating this unsatisfying (possibly offensive-tasting) cake that is bad for you and will mean you have to do without something else unhealthy but more satisfying.
Then, as you approach the end, you think, well at least finishing this thing will be cathartic. It's not, though, and then you start doubting whether you really did need to finish it if you hated it so much.
Vigilante Banana
The saddest food is planning on having microwave popcorn for dinner, only to realize that your roommate has just moved out without warning and now you have no microwave.
Wandering Knitter
Every time I go out to eat there's always a table where no one is talking. Sometimes it's a mother ignoring her child. Sometimes it's a couple in their mid 50's that has nothing left to talk about. Sometimes it's a painfully awkward blind date. But it's just two people there silently staring at each other until the food shows up.
The saddest food is any kind of poorly prepared meat, because something literally gave its life to produce it. That chicken or cow could have been turned into something delicious and wonderful, and yet all that it has to show for its death is a grey, flavourless or overproduced lump of food. The first time I remember feeling this was when I was in America and went to a Popeye's Chicken franchise.
Hoover Dam
Anything that comes flavored with guilt and disappointment is the saddest food. If you are on a special diet, for health/religious/personal reasons (vegetarian, kosher, celiac, etc), and friends or family cook for you, going out of your way to make you a special item to eat, only it's something that's outright bad, not even half-assed, features a main ingredient you dislike, or is way overdone when you'd have been happy with something the rest of the family is eating, just hold the [cheese/meat/bread]. They took the trouble to meet your needs, and you appreciate the effort, but the result was bad, and there's no possible way you can bring this up without looking and feeling like a tremendous ass. That's a sad meal right there.

Federal prosecutors charged Trent Martin, who worked at a Connecticut brokerage firm, for purchasing shares of SPSS before IBM agreed to the $1.2 billion deal. He was also charged with passing the information to others, including his roommate.
On November 29 the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission charged two former stockbrokers, including Martin's roommate, for their roles in the alleged insider trading scheme.
The three and others made more than $1 million by trading ahead of the acquisition, prosecutors said.
Martin was specifically named as the source of the information in instant messages between the two brokers, Thomas Conradt and David Weishaus, authorities said.
In a July 2009 message, referring to Martin by name, Conradt wrote: "holy f*** . . . god trent told me not to tell anyone . . . big mistake," according to the indictment unsealed on Wednesday.
Weishaus responded, "eh, we'll get rich."
Martin, an Australian citizen, was arrested on December 22 in Hong Kong, the Justice Department said. Martin could not immediately be reached for comment.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed related civil charges against Martin on Wednesday, said he fled the United States to Australia soon after learning about the SEC's investigation.
IBM agreed to pay $50 per share for SPSS, a 42 percent premium to SPSS' closing price on the day before the purchase was announced.

Response-to-Government-Moving-to-Ban-the-Word-Government [scribd.com]
Short version:
Quote :Should this Court disagree, and feel inclined to let the parties basically pick their own designations and ban words, then the defense has a few additional suggestions.... First, the Defendant no longer wants to be called "the Defendant." This rather archaic term of art obviously has a fairly negative connotation.... At trial, Mr. P. hereby demands to be addressed only by his full name, preceded by the title "Mister."
Alternatively, he may be called simply "the Citizen Accused." This latter title sounds more respectable than the criminal "Defendant." The designation "That innocent man" would also be acceptable.
Moreover, defense counsel does not wish to be referred to as a "lawyer," or a "defense attorney." Rather, counsel for the Citizen Accused should be referred to primarily as the "Defender of the Innocent." This title seems particularly appropriate, because every Citizen Accused is presumed innocent.
Alternatively, counsel would also accept the designation "Guardian of the Realm."
Further, the Citizen Accused humbly requests an appropriate military title for his own representative, to match that of the opposing counsel. Whenever addressed by name, the name "Captain Justice" will be appropriate.
Along these same lines, even the term "defense" does not sound very likeable. ...the opposition to the Plaintiff hereby names itself "the Resistance."
WHEREFORE, Captain Justice, Guardian of the Realm and Leader of the Resistance, primarily asks that the Court deny the State's motion, as lacking legal basis. Alternatively, the Citizen Accused moves for an order in limine modifying the speech code as aforementioned, and requiring any other euphemisms and feel-good terms as the Court finds appropriate.

Terms and Agreements:
Any pain inflicted by this "gun" or by your own idiocy while attempting to build the "gun" is not my fault. Deciding to shoot your friend/your toy/your pet/yourself is your decision and your decision alone, though there is always the influence of others. I cannot and will not accept responsibility for your actions, unless I, in any way, shape, or form influenced you directly within a distance of 10 yards (9.144 meters) of you to shoot your friend/your toy/your pet/yourself, etc.This is not a toy. This is a potentially lethal weapon.
This "gun" is built from two parts: the magazine/feed and the barrel (ram included). A couple of things you will notice about this "gun" are that it has no stopper/blocker/whatever the thing is called that stops the ram; it jams readily if not fired correctly (and if you just aren't lucky, but it is easily unjammed); by shotgun I mean 2 bullets at a time (you will realize how annoying this turns out to be later); and, finally and most importantly, the magazine is detachable (meaning you can remove it and attach a fresh one instead of having to constantly reload!!! OMGZORZ!!!!).
Note: Any list of required pieces is the list of pieces I used to build my version of the "gun." Certain pieces can be exchanged for others.
Special Thanks to: (your name here), an actual Instructables username, for the amazing magazine design. You will notice that I modified it slightly.
Step 1: Constructing the Barrel and Ram
1 black rod
1 tan clip connector
1 red connector
1 orange connector
2 yellow rods
1 red rod
8 orange connectors
7 red connectors
2 grey connectors
1 white connector
The ram is self explanatory.
For the barrel, just attach the many pieces onto the single red rod.
Please excuse the blurry pictures.
Step 2: The Magazine
Outside: (Pictures 1-4)
21 green rods
6 white rods
14 yellow connectors
6 orange connectors
2 red connectors
2 grey connectors
Inside: (Picture 7)
2 white rods
1 green rod
2 red connectors
8 blue rods (recommended amount of ammo per reload/magazine)
Bottom: (Pictures 5-6)
3 green rods
2 yellow rods
4 tan clip connectors
4 green connectors
4 red connectors
4 light gray connectors
I will show you how to build it in three parts: the outside, the bottom, and the inside. The inside is just the ammo and the auto feed. The outside and bottom are the important structures.
Just follow the pictures.
Step 3: Firing
Step 4: Jamming and How to Fix it
Jamming usually occurs when you are rapid firing (which you should be) carelessly (which you shouldn't be). There are 2 tell-tale signs of jamming. 1, if a jam occurs, only 1 bullet is fired. 2, the ram does not have the ability to be pulled back into the barrel, unless you really force it (which you shouldn't do). If you look at the front of the magazine, you should notice that a bullet, the one that was not fired, is trapped under the ram, preventing the ram from leaving the magazine.
If you realize there is a jam immediately, then the front of the magazine should look like the picture below. This is only when you've just fired, realized a jam occurred, and haven't fired again. Usually, when you're rapid firing, you don't realize there is a jam until you notice that nothing is shooting out. When this happens, the bullet trapped underneath the ram probably has been pulled back.
Either way, all you have to do to remove the jam is to expose the bullet so you can get a good hold on it, then pull the bullet out.
Step 5: Attaching/Detaching/Reloading
#1-4: Attaching
#5-9: Reloading
#10-13: Detaching
Step 6: Conclusion
Have fun!
semi meaning pull the trigger back and firing and auto meaning when the trigger is replaced at its place it has reloded automaticly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse me, Kansas State. Pardon me, UConn. Hey, USF, is this seat taken? No? Thanks, we'll join you.
The Oregon State Beavers became the sixth FBS team to fall to an FCS opponent in Week 1 after the Eastern Washington Eagles -- the fourth-ranked FCS team -- shocked the No. 25 Beavers 49-46 in Corvallis.
The Beavers are the first ranked FBS team to lose to an FCS team since 2010.
Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams threw for 411 yards and ran for 107, accounting for six touchdowns (four passing, two rushing). In total, the Eagles gutted the Oregon State defense for 625 yards and 31 first downs.
Much of the Beavers' offseason was focused on the quarterback competition. And Mike Riley's choice – Sean Mannion – did everything he could to keep the Beavers in the game. Mannion completed 37 of 43 attempts for 422 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught 13 of those passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns.
But the Beavers defense had no answer for Adams and Co., who scored on their first six possessions. The only reason they didn't score on their seventh was the end of the half. Then they went on to score on three of their four second-half possessions.
After the Beavers had retaken the lead at 46-43 on a 4-yard Terron Ward touchdown run, the Eagles answered with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard Adams run with 18 seconds to go. The bad snap on the PAT (categorized statistically as a failed 2-point attempt) made the score 49-46 and gave the Beavers a small window of hope. A pair of quick completions from Mannion gave kicker Trevor Romaine a shot at a 52-yard field goal to tie the game as time expired. But Romaine's kick was off and the Beavers looked stunned.
This is the second time in three years the Beavers have opened the season with a loss to an FCS team. They opened the 2011 season with a 29-28 overtime loss to Sacramento State.

A bill presented in British Parliament would end free medical care for illegal immigrants by charging foreigners to access health services and turning away anyone who is in the country illegally.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
10/7/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Europe
Keywords: National Health System, England, UK, illegal, immigration
LONDON, UK (Catholic Online) - If you are a foreigner visiting England, be prepared to show proof of citizenship before being given a NHS number, the item you need to receive free health services in the country.
A bill designed to cut down on health tourists and illegal immigration has been presented to Parliament as part of a package designed to crack down on people who are residing in the country illegally.
According to the bill, doctors will first have to check the immigration status of a patient who does not have a NHS number before they are authorized to provide treatment. Naturally, the proposal has doctors, among others upset. Doctors resent that they could be forced to participate in immigration enforcement.
Others say that healthcare should be provided no matter what. Defenders of the bill say that emergency care is still ensured.
England has become a destination for health tourists, foreigners who travel to the country to have procedures done for various reasons. These health tourists then receive the benefits of the national healthcare system but without having to pay any of the costs. To break down this practice, Parliament would pass a law that would ensure they must pay to access the system.
Right now, the levy is set at Ł200 for students from outside Europe. Immigrants from within the European Union would not have to pay.
Meanwhile, other restrictions have been proposed including tougher fines on employers who hire illegal immigrants as workers and fines for landlords who rent to them.
The bill is a step taken to close a common exploit of the free National Health Service.
Estimates do not suggest the bill will generate much in revenues, but it will discourage use of the system from people who are not entitled to it, this saving anywhere from Ł100 to Ł300 million per year. It will also discourage illegal immigration and health tourism to England while encouraging those in the country illegally to depart because they will lose most access to healthcare.

*spin off* What is the correct response?
Started by back*again , Dec 28 2012 07:23 PM
14 replies to this topic
Posted 28 December 2012 - 07:23 PM
This is a spin off from the high risk of Downs Syndrome thread.....a few years ago my aunt would have been in a similar situation, her unborn child was high risk downs baby and they chose to not test further or terminate. Their son doesn't have Downs. I can't remember how I responded to their news of the high risk, but with my 20-20 hindsight I'm thinking it probably wasn't ideal. So what is "ideal"?
I have learnt only through experience what a mother who suspects her son has ASD DOESN'T want to hear from her friends. I got so experienced with hearing what I didn't want to hear, I wanted to write a book on what not to say.....the only problem is, by the time someone reads the book, they've probably already said the wrong thing. And yes, I'll admit it....a few years back when a friend of mine told me her son had just been diagnosed with ASD I said the wrong thing (same kinda thing people said to me).
Posted 28 December 2012 - 08:52 PM
DD had a number of soft markers for Downs Syndrome at her 19 week scan. We chose not to test further and in all honesty, decided not to really talk about it further. I can't really remember anyone saying anything to me that majorly upset me.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 08:58 PM
I don't know what the right response would be but I'd probably ask them how they are feeling about it & go from there.
I haven't read the tread though so I may be way way off!
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:05 PM
Where ia the thread? I can't find it...
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:08 PM
I would respond by asking how they were going and feeling about it and offering my love and support, whatever their decisions regarding testing and the pregnancy.
I copped attitude for not having the scanning done. Apparently that was irresponsible of me. You can't win whatever you do. I wish people were less worried about giving their opinion and more worried about the person in front of them having a rough time.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:28 PM
The correct response will probably vary but for me, in my situation I would have just liked people to ask further, not try and cheer me up or make assumptions about what they thought was going to happen. Responses like, "So what's the next step?" Or, "Has the Dr/hospital given you any further information about what they've found?" Just questions, not statements. And don't try and brush it off with, "Oh don't worry, you'll be ok." Because when you do that you take away the persons oportunity to discuss their fears or worries.
I actually did get cranky at people who told me 'not to worry' because I was worried and I needed to talk about it but telling me not to worry just meant they weren't willing to listen.
Do t try and make jokes about it, don't try to cheer them up, just let them talk if they want to, ask a question or two but let them lead the way.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 09:55 PM
I think it may depend on the person and the situation. For example, my sister had a 1 in 30 chance of her child having downs and I said something like "No matter what happens, we will be here with you and know that you're a strong person and will be a great Mum whether the child has Down's syndrome or not". She then said that they were having an amino and would probably terminate if the baby had downs! I was shocked, and I really didn't know what to say then! Turns out her baby did not have downs.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 10:11 PM
Although I've not been in the situation, my feeling would be that, as PPs have mentioned, just a "how are you feeling about that? What happens next?" type of response would be most useful.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:05 AM
"what a difficult situation. How can I help?"
We were high risk and chose not to abort or have further testing. The worst comment was my older sister exclaiming how we must be nuts to want to keep 'it'
'it' is now 2.5 and shes delightful, with zero of the predicted issues
Posted 29 December 2012 - 06:13 AM
Thing is, everyone is different. What might upset me may not bother you, and vice versa.

Yes this.
I was given a 1 in 10 chance with one of my children from the scan and blood test. I didn't have any further testing, as I considered the risk of miscarriage was too high. I did find it an incredibly stressful pregnancy not knowing though.
I went into premature labour at 27 weeks, and I can remember talking to the doctors and they asked me if when the baby was born if I wanted any treatment for her if she did have DS. I suppose for some people this would have of been something they wanted to discuss, but I was absolutely horrified. Of course I wanted my precious baby to be given every chance of life, and to be given every possible treatment! I felt really unsafe in the hospital after that, and I also felt my baby was unsafe. However I suppose other people would have of been grateful to be able to have such a frank discussion with the medical staff.
Anyway, luckily my premature labour was able to be stopped and I went home, but I was terribly distressed. But of course the medical staff weren't to know I would be so upset. I guess this is a necessary conversation they have with alot of pregnant women.

People usually don't know what to say when confronted with someone else's bad or sad news, so they often say what they *think* is the right thing....but usually it's not. And there might not be a "right" thing to say in each situation.
I work in a job when occasionally complete strangers have to tell me their baby or child has died, and after years of it, I still don't know what to say so I limit it to "I'm so sorry, that's terribly sad" and continue on with business as usual. But hearing it always, without exception, rips my heart out and tears it to shreds and I usually have to leave my desk afterwards and head to the bathroom for a bit. But none of this is ever conveyed to the person who told me, and I'm sure a lot of them go away thinking I simply didn't care.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 09:42 AM
I think all you can do is congratulate just like you would any other pregnancy and then try to gauge how they are feeling.
I did find this article good, http://katrinastonoff.wordpress.com/2007/1...-down-syndrome/ wonder what other's think?
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:13 PM
I don't think there's one answer but it would depend on the individual and the relationship you have with that person.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 12:59 PM
I think maybe the correct response IS to say how sorry you are. It is natural to express sorrow at the possibility of a baby that may not be the perfectly healthy child that everyone wants.
It's the flippant comments that are made while trying to lighten the mood that can cause the insult.
