An Urgent Plea from Pet-Abuse.Com
Recently, legislation has been proposed by state and local governments to initiate individual animal abuse registries.

Slim Down in 7 Days (You'll Be Bikini-Ready by Saturday!)
Slim Down in 7 Days (You'll Be Bikini-Ready by Saturday!)
Nothing can replace healthy eating and regular workouts when you want to lose weight, but these fast-fix diet tips and tricks will help you look your absolute best—ASAP.SEE MORE
Weight-Loss Tip: Drink water. (And then drink more!)It may seem counterintuitive, but the best trick to beating bloat is to drink more water, says Sari Greaves, R.D., nutrition director at the Step Ahead Wellness Center in Far Hills, N.J. "If you're drinking water, you're flushing out everything and keeping all systems going." Try sipping a tall glass of H20 every time you feel hungry.
Weight-Loss Tip: Skip soda.Another way to get a flatter stomach, according to Greaves: Avoid soda. Soft drinks, even diet ones, contain sodium, which is a big contributor to bloat, she warns. Instead of reaching for a diet cola, opt for unsweetened iced tea or coffee.
Weight-Loss Tip: Try a one-day cleanse.Cleanses aren't the key to permanent weight loss, but stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé swear by juice cleanses and fasts to slim down and reset their bodies. For a version you can stick to, eat only raw fruits and vegetables for a day. You'll feel fuller than if you just drink juice, but you'll easily be able to keep your daily calorie budget in check.
Weight-Loss Tip: Find fuel-up foods.Hitting the gym? Keep your energy up by picking foods that'll help you burn more calories during your workout and throughout the day. Greaves says, "Go for good carbohydrates, like whole grains, and lots of fruits and vegetables. It's time-released fuel for the day." Translation: You won't be reaching for unhealthy snacks to keep you going.
Weight-Loss Tip: Focus on cardio.Since you're short on time, swap out spot-toning like sit-ups—they won't give you the fast results you're after. "You've got to burn fat before you build muscle," says Meredith Johnson, R.N. and fitness instructor on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. "I would recommend cardio to lean the body down." To really shed pounds, pick a high-intensity interval training workout (Johnson likes CrossFit and Insanity), which amp up fat burning in short-but-superhard sessions.
Weight-Loss Tip: Cut refined carbs.Rid your diet of bad carbs (a.k.a. white flour and sugar), which reduce your energy and can make you want to skip that last-minute workout. "Think about how foods affect your energy level. Refined carbs, white flour, snack foods—these tend to elevate your blood sugar and then you crash," Greaves says. "They are energy-busting foods." And remember, "No energy equals craving more food."
Weight-Loss Tip: Eliminate processed foods.When you're trying to lose weight quickly, give your body the natural foods it can digest, and say no to anything that comes in a wrapper. Greaves says to use the tip when you're out at restaurants, too. "Try salads and grilled protein. Skip the sauces."
Weight-Loss Tip: Fill-up on anti-fat foodsFoods that fight belly fat? Yes please! "Eat more fruits and vegetables that naturally contain water. The diuretic effect helps rid the body of excess water and bloat," says Greaves. (Sound familiar from tip #1? It should!) "Try melons, tomatoes, pineapples, and grapes. All are easy additions to a summer salad." This watermelon and arugula salad is a great place to start!
Weight Loss Tip: Ditch alcohol.You're a smart girl, and you know alcoholic drinks can be calorie bombs. But that's not all. Greaves says drinking actually stimulates your appetite, so drinking is like double diet sabotage. If you don't want to cut out drinking completely, Greaves says to stick to wine (being portion-conscious, of course!) and to start with a tall glass of water first to stay hydrated.

You have to mention Songza! It's free and ad-supported however there are NO annoying audio ads, just banner ads. The concierge feature is incredible, you can find a playlist tailored to just about anything. I dumped Pandora a LONG time ago for this one. Excited to see what iTunes Radio will bring.
iTunes Radio vs. the competition: Which one should you use?
Yesterday at WWDC 2013 Apple announced the long rumored iTunes Radio service which will come bundled as part of the default Music app in iOS 7.
iTunes Radio will be free for all users since it's ad supported. Those who subscribe to iTunes Match will be excused from ads. This can make it a tempting option for many but how does it compare to existing streaming services such as Pandora, Slacker, and Spotify? Let's take a closer look...
iTunes Radio
We admittedly won't know everything about iTunes Radio until it officially launches with iOS 7 this fall but we have a rough idea of what it brings to the table. For iTunes Match subscribers, you'll get ad-free and uninterrupted radio from iTunes huge collection. That's obviously another bonus of iTunes Radio, iTunes has a massive collection of music. Probably one of the best selections on the planet.
Outside of that, a lot of the features you get are the same as other comparable streaming services such as Pandora. You'll have the ability to like songs, tell iTunes Radio to never play a song again, and theoretically, it should get smarter the more you use it. You can create custom playlists or choose from the ones iTunes Radio has featured.
One con that may be a deal breaker for some is that at this time, iTunes Radio seems to only stream clean versions of songs. That means anything with explicit language is going to be filtered out. This could very well change before the final launch by adding some settings but at this point, we don't know one way or the other.
The competition
Let's face it, there are some awesome streaming music streaming services already out there including Pandora, Slacker, Spotify, Rdio, Last.fm, and many more. You're really looking at what content you want and who can provide it. As far as pricing breakdowns go, most of these services offer subscription services for ad-free listening or even free ad-based versions, like iTunes Radio. Here's a quick look at the cheapest plans available that we could find that support streaming on iPhone and iPad, not just desktop clients.
- Pandora - Free but ad supported - premium with no ads is $3.99/month or $36/year
- Spotify - $9.99 a month for the capability of streaming to iPhone and iPad
- Slacker Radio - Free but ad supported - upgrade to no ads plus more options for $3.99/month minimum
- Rdio - $9.99 a month for the capability of streaming to iPhone and iPad
As you quickly notice, some of these services may offer ad-based streaming for free, actually most if not all do, but in certain cases, they aren't available for mobile without a premium subscription. That can also place you in the highest tier automatically.
Outside of pricing there are other things to consider. For instance, Slacker Radio provides custom ESPN stations that can be fine tuned to the teams you follow. This is something that's probably worth the fee if you're a hardcore sports fan. Rdio also has a tendency to have albums available as soon as they are released and way ahead of their competition. If your priority is having music available as soon as it's released, Rdio is probably the only other option besides iTunes Radio, which will have access to the iTunes Store. With that, we'd imagine albums will be available in iTunes Radio just as soon as Rdio does.
When it comes to listening offline, Spotify, Slacker, and a few of the others also allow you to download content and playlists you create for times you don't have service. This is a hot commodity for travelers and something that should be thought about before choosing any of them.
The bottom line
iTunes Radio definitely has its advantages including integration with Siri, access across all your devices including Apple TV, and an unbeatable price of free for everyone. If you're an iTunes Match subscriber, the deal gets even better since you won't have to listen to ads.
That doesn't mean competitive services don't still have their advantages. Slacker's tie in with ESPN will be huge for sports fans while downloadable playlists for offline listening will still sway other users to steer away from iTunes Radio. If you like the content you hear on iTunes Radio, you'll need to buy it, at least as it stands right now. If you listen to music a lot, it's worth weighing out how many offline songs you typically save a month for offline use and what you'd be paying to actually own them on iTunes.
Ultimately, iTunes Radio will be a great deal for casual listeners that either don't mind ads or already use iTunes Match and aren't bothered clean versions of songs. And for all we know, that may change before the final release. It's also the only option currently available if you want to stream music to an Apple TV. If those aren't your largest concerns or you already subscribe to another service, there's a lot more to think about, and that's where your listening habits will really have to be weighed in before making a final decision.
With all this being said, do you plan on using iTunes Radio when it launches and how does it compare to the streaming service you already use, if any at all?

Reader comments
iTunes Radio vs. the competition: Which one should you use?
Yep, it's stated in the article 2 or 3 times.
I'll be sticking with Spotify. Being able to play just about any song anytime I want is awesome. Other then podcast that i occasionally listen to i stream everything and have no need to keep music on my iphone/ipad. $9.99 isn't much to ask for either. Pandora/Slacker seem to over play songs to much. And from what i understand iTunes Match only allows you to play the music in your iTunes library on all your devices.
Correct iTunes Match only lets you stream the music in your library(as of today) but when iTunes Radio comes out there will be the added bonus of the it being ad-free. You pay $10/month for Spotify for a total of $120 a year just to stream their music, with iTunes match you will pay $25 for the year to be able to stream the radio music PLUS your iTunes library.
If you don't have an iTunes library though, is it that compelling? I haven't really bought music in over 2 years, I've lived in Spotify. Even though I can't use iTunes Radio at first anyway, I'm not really that interested either as it turns out. Twitter Music hooks into Spotify, which also has a Radio element to it, and for that £120 a year I can pick and choose from just about every album I can imagine. So i'll be sticking with what I know :)
No good music has been made in the past 5 years anyhow ;-)
ITunes Radio allows you to stream the entire iTunes library (~26 million songs according to an article I saw yesterday) and is not limited to the songs you've purchased or uploaded to iTunes Match. The tie between iTunes Radio and iTunes Match is the Match subscribers get commercial free iTunes Radio. At $25/year for iTunes Match, it's worth it just to go commercial free even if you don't use it for anything else.
You didn't mention Google Play Music. The official app is coming soon by GMusic will also work. Also both iTunes radio and Gmusic will let you store your own music plus radio stations. For iTunes Radio you also have to have iTunes Match which was already a bargain at $25 per year but now is a no brainer bargain. There are also major differences between these services which you also don't mention.
Spotify does offer free, ad supported "radio" in the iPhone/iPad app. Spotify premium, and its 9.99/mo price tag, are required in order to play any track of your choosing, and custom play lists and commercial free radio.
You didn't mention Google Play All Access! In my opinion, it's better than iTunes Radio because you get access to it on multiple devices but the only thing is the price monthly.
Let's face it, this is really going to 'appeal' to people who haven't considered streaming music yet as it's baked into the music app. You don't have to do anything except tap a button. I'm not a huge music listener except for a couple of bands and not really keen to spend on a streaming service (although I think even $10/month is good value, really), so this will be great for me.
It's of interest to me and I am a longtime Pandora Premium user. Obviously it's not out yet, but appears to have all the benefits of Pandora Premium PLUS the ability to host my personal library with the iTunes Match all for LESS money. Count me in!
you really should have compared the amount of songs for each service as that will probably be the biggest reason to choose one over the other.
There aren't any hard facts on how many each have. they all say "millions of songs" and they aren't going to give me exact figures.
the data is out there. Take a look at this article for an example:
The big questions are; how many songs does itunes radio have and what is the skip limit on the free version.
Yes, i saw that same article. it does not state where they pulled those numbers from.
As far as skip limit, it's in beta. We'll have something more definitive when the official is released. A lot can change from now until then.
It just seems Apple always brings something innovative to the table (and I imagine I wont get all the hate bc we're obviously Apple fans) and I felt like it wasn't there. I stopped listening to Pandora with the import of Spotify. I went back to Pandora when they threatened to cap free listening and now that not the case I'm back. I usually stream at home from a PC my husband connected to the TV. I listen to the local radio when I'm in the car. I have found myself not listening to music on my phone much. I use You Tube for stuff that I dont own, which Im finding is less and less.
When I look for a music service, I think about where I can access the service. I don't want to be restricted to a certain platform, device, or a personal ID/account. That leads me to something like spotify or pandora because I can use one account that is only for that service, share it with my wife, and access the service on an iPhone, android device, roku, windows 8, or a browser.
Okay, the obvious difference between Pandora and MOG/Rdio/Spottify is with Pandora you can create stations and listen to them, but you can't play specific songs. With MOG I can play the whole "Pricess and the Frog" soundtrack my daughter wants to hear without a problem. With Pandora I can't do that. Can I do that with iTunes radio or not?

Jones County was represented at the recent Middle Georgia RESA Job Fair held Jan. 31 at Westside High School in Macon where over 600 prospective teachers attended.
Systems represented at the RESA Fair were Bibb, Crawford, Peach, Monroe, Twiggs, Jones, and Houston counties. A surprising number of applications were distributed to teachers coming from out of state in search of employment for the upcoming school year and to 'second career' job seekers.
"It was a telling indicator of the elevated number of people out of work and desperate to secure stable employment," noted a member of the Jones County personnel office who was present at the fair. "The market is extremely competitive with counties having limited job offerings as a result of continued budget cuts."
This past Saturday the school system held its annual Jones County Job Fair, hosted this year by Gray Station Middle School. Interview teams from each school decked out in school attire manned tables that depicted the mission and culture of their particular setting. Candidates were able to meet with school administrators and were interviewed by key faculty members who collected resumes and applications for future reference.
Approximately 100 applicants attended the Jones County Job Fair in hopes of acquiring a job for the 2009-10 school year.
One applicant said, "I've worked recently in a private school in [a surrounding county]. It looks as if it won't be able to open next year, and I have to work. I'm actively attending all the job fairs in hopes of getting back in the public schools."
Also reflective of the current economic market were the comments of another possible candidate. "I retired not long ago. My retirement income has taken a hard hit, and I find myself in the situation of needing to go back to work. I'm eager to get a job in a good school system."
Many of those in attendance Saturday are in the process of completing their degree work and will soon be fully certified for hire. Schools have hosted a large number of student teachers who have trained under the skilled eyes of veteran teachers in the district.
"I've loved working here in Jones County. It's a wonderful community with an outstanding school system. My parents are as eager as I am for me to get a job in this system. I'm worried, though, that with so many people interested and applying that it may not be easy to get hired," expressed a concerned student teacher.
At the Oct. 21, 2008, JCBOE meeting, the Reduction in Force Policy (RIF) was discussed to prepare members should it become necessary to make layoffs due to additional financial cuts from the state. Superintendent Jim LeBrun has held firm in his commitment to do everything possible not to put anyone out of work.
He has stated previously, "we're looking at this from all angles to do everything possible to shave expenses so that no one loses their job." Teachers were asked to submit a "Letter of Intent" during the month of January in an effort to pinpoint possible vacancies created through attrition. Positions held by teachers who had plans to retire or move out of the system were absorbed through class size increases established by state mandates or simply eliminated in some cases.
Personnel Director Dr. Mike Newton noted that the job market would indeed be tight this year. Last year, Newton reported, more than 60 percent of new hires in Jones County were job fair participants. Previously, job fair candidates could be offered contracts 'on the spot'. This ensured that the most qualified candidates were secured and taken out of the job market. This was not the case at Saturday's fair.
The practice of issuing teaching contracts in late January or early February will be delayed this year. "We're holding off on contracts until the legislative session ends and we have a better understanding of the upcoming budget and its impact," reported the superintendent at a recent administrators' meeting.
When asked why the county would host a job fair in such uncertain times, Newton responded, "There will be a few select teaching positions that cannot be absorbed via attrition. Therefore, we now have a larger pool of highly qualified candidates to choose from should the need arise."
Administrators who were asked agreed that there is a need for having a pool of skilled applicants from which to choose should job opportunities open. Said one school administrator, "I want the chance to have the best possible teachers out there on my staff. This gives us the opportunity to see who's available."
Board Chairman Ted Stone commented on the energy demonstrated by the schools in preparation for the fair.
"They always give 100 percent," he said. "I'm proud of the work they put into making this a success."

By Julie Smith
There's a fad going around Facebook (it may have played out by the time this goes to press.) Like most fads, it's harmless: One of your FB friends assigns you a random number; whatever it is, you have to post that many facts about yourself, i.e., "Five Things Most People Don't Know About Me."
I received some numbers and wrote some posts. Truth is, I'm a pretty boring person who's written a weekly personal column for 25 years, so there's not a whole lot of mystery left. But here are a few facts that may surprise you. Or not.
1. I dislike drinking from Tervis tumblers. They feel weird to my teeth. (And no, I don't chew them.)
2. I owned and showed horses for 15 years.
3. Routine and structure are my best friends.
4. Guess who wears a retainer?
5. When I make pancakes at home, I slather them with butter and syrup from the fridge. When I order pancakes at a restaurant and they bring me hot syrup, I freak out. Room temperature is acceptable, but hot? An abomination.
6. I have an adult stepson. I love him too much to write about him.
7. My favorite movie is "Tombstone." Second place goes to "The Perfect Storm."
8. I haven't touched red meat in over three years, and I miss it every day.
9. After years of being terrified of flying, some kind of mental switch flipped. Now I love it.
10. I haven't been to any of my high school reunions. I don't get the whole looking back thing.
11. Widdle Baby and I got engaged seven months after we met.
12. I'm double-jointed.
13. Party-throwing is not my thing; I'm awful at it. (Having friends to dinner doesn't count. That's fun.)
14. My dream job is to sit in a room and edit copy all day.
15. I haven't had a fast food meal since 1999.
16. If I win the lottery, I'm moving to San Francisco. Or Maine. Maybe I'll flip a gold coin.
17. Not to brag, but I have really cute feet.
18. Every day after dark, I go out back and bid my roosters, Ben & Jerry, good night. There may or may not be hugs involved.
And that, my friends, is all I got.
According to NBC news, the most recognized syllable in the world is "Huh?" It transcends all language barriers, especially when accompanied by a blank stare.
I believe this. Years ago, when my beloved Widdle bent his knee and whipped out a ring, I said, "Huh?"
Last month, when my lender told me my house payment was decreasing by$100, I fainted. Upon awaking I said, "Huh?"
When I got a notice from Berkeley County saying I owed taxes on a car I sold in 2004, I laughed and shredded it. Foolish me. Because I ended up having to call the county and say, "Huh?"
"Huh?" conveys so many emotions: Confusion, bewilderment, disbelief, concern. It's like "Say what?" only shorter.
Ideally, as polite people in a civilized society, we should say, "Pardon me; I'm not sure I understand."
That's how I answered a nice Mediterranean woman who approached me in the grocery store last week. I think she was looking for the baking products aisle, but she could have needed a referral to a podiatrist. I just couldn't tell.
So I said (in my North Carolina twang), "Par-din me, cooja ree-peat that?"
She looked at me and said, "Huh?"
Confusion is the universal language.

Farming with Family
11 Nov 13
Earlier this year Slow Food convivia in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong organized three simultaneous events to promote the "Farm with the Family" initiative, a project that is bringing producers and consumers closer together. Here we look back at some of the highlights…
SHANGHAI: Slow Food joined forces with Sprout Lifestyle to organize a visit to Biofarm, an organic farm located in the Pudong district. Celebrating its 9th anniversary, the event included a farm tour, in which participants learnt about the concepts of organic fruit and vegetables, bug control, and the rotation of plantations. The guests were able to fully immerse themselves in nature and the quiet atmosphere of the farm as they visited the arugula and tomato plantations, and tasted the fresh plants. After an organic, vegetarian lunch (prepared by the farm employees and extra guests from Slow Food Shanghai), Kimberly Ashton, a local health coach and food educator, taught participants how to prepare healthy crispy rosemary potatoes, and a potato and fennel soup. At the end of the day, participants had the chance to purchase vegetables to take home with them: a perfect end to an escape from the city.
HONG KONG: A group of families and friends braved a thunderstorm and travelled to Zen Organic Farm in the New Territories. A one-hour drive from the island of Hong Kong, the farm, started four years ago, grows approximately one hundred different types of crop, including 20 – 30 varieties of tomatoes and a number of varieties of capsicum. It is about 250,000 square feet in size; 100,000 sq ft of that dedicated to greenhouse use - lucky given the rain! Participants prepared a salad and soup from the farm's produce, including herbs and edible flowers not available in "normal" supermarkets. As issues of food safety have risen in China, from where most food sold in Hong Kong comes, organic farms have started to gain greater interest in Hong Kong, from both food establishments and the general public: There are now about 200 organic farms in Hong Kong. Zen is devoted to educating the public, especially the young people of Hong Kong.
BEIJING: In an area in which both farms and fruit trees are quite uncommon, Slow Food organized a Cherry Picking Day. Run by a lady who left the city a decade ago after becoming allergic to all sorts of polluting elements, the farm is an hour and a half outside of Beijing. Participants were offered a meal based on local, seasonal and organic products from her land, as well as being taught the first steps in becoming a real Tai Chi practitioner. After lunch, the fruit picking began. Find photos and more information in these two blog pieces:

text: Zoya Suri Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "royal purple metallic." It's a rich, royal purple with violet and amethyst micro-shimmer. I couldn't recall anything from past reviews that compared that closely with this shade. China Glaze Fault Line has similar coloring, but it's a crackle polish. Zoya Mimi would be the next closest, though it's a bit more blue-based and has much larger shimmer. Do you have any dupe suggestions? I'd love to hear them!

S2S was founded and established in Singapore on October 1997 as an artiste management and production house.– S 2 S Pte Ltd. In 1999, S2S Inc, Japan was set up as a distribution, artiste management and publishing company in Japan, Tokyo. S2S Pte Ltd was chosen as the head office for all business functions such as the duties of communication, liaising and licensing on the behalf of S2S Inc, Japan. S2S Pte Ltd also spearheads the company's business model and have expand into Southeast Asia and other territories.
The Founder
Ken Kazunari Suzuki was one of the co founders of Avex Trax, which is one of the most successful independent record labels in Japan right now. One might ask 'Why the shift from Japan to Singapore'? The reason is because Singapore was chosen due to her stable political situation, robust economy and excellent infrastructure. Such stability at hand breeds the need and opportunity for entertainment to flourish. Singapore was especially chosen as the headquarters because of her multiracial composition as well.
Our Vision
Our vision at S2S is to provide entertainment that can be enjoyed by all and sundry. We strive to promote cultural exchange via music.

36% of Americans believe in UFOs, that is, though most Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are actually explained as such mundane things as misidentified meteorological phenomena, astronomical phenomena, aircraft, and so on, there's ~ 5% that are as yet unexplained and that these unexplained UFOs are machines from somewhere other than Earth.
Have you ever observed a UFO that has never been sufficiently explained? Do you believe that some unexplained UFOs are machines from somewhere other than Earth? If so, why (what are your reasons or arguments for believing so)? What evidence is there to support your belief?

"Unless they came to say goodbye to a doomed species of gun monkey."
There are 270 million firearms among a population of 311 million people in the United States. That's a lot of gun monkeys. You're not going to get rid of them any time soon.
"And I'm an idiot who only knows he does not want to live with a savage bunch of insane religious fanatics who deny reality and reason."
"I was born here and I dont want anything to do with it."
92% of Americans believe in god(s), that's a broad spectrum from deist to polytheist. 5% of Americans are confirmed atheists.
Evidently Americans want their god(s) and their gun(s).You'll just have to learn to live with the gun monkeys and the believers. Or you can always move to North Korea where atheism is enforced (the only country left where free religious activity no longer exists). And there are only 130 thousand guns among the civilian population in a country of 24 million people.
I own guns, I live in the USA, how many guns do I need to acquire before I can call myself a "Gun Monkey"?
Will I get a plaque for my wall?
Is there a GMA (Gun Monkey Association)?
I am beginning to like the Gun Monkey label, this idea may have legs.
Its all yours.
Run with it.
Just be sure the safety is on.
Hahaha....I loved the comment at the end.
I also like that he racks another round when he stands up...time for round number two...gene pool about to be thinned. :)
Actually the pic I posted above is from a video where someone handed a chimp a loaded full auto AK, the ensuing result is priceless.
Here ya go,
Wow, duffish.
I think something like this happen to me 'once', while building rockets in high school. Atleast I did not trip over the damn thing...LOL
I do not rule out the possibility of a god(s) existing although it is highly improbable and unlikely, especially when one considers what we know about our physical universe and our insatiable desire to live forever. As to UFOs there are many. As Tyson suggested emphasis should be on the "U" part. The universe we reside in is vast and I cannot deny a possibility there being lifeforms elsewhere. Verifiable evidence remains the key concern as it is with the belief in supernatural beings.
WTF is a UUFO Unexplained Unidentified Flying Object? Isn't that redundant? Isn't an IFO Identified Flying Object also a EFO Explained Flying Object?
Its just from people that want to pretend that they have some official, and legit., standing. Like 10-4, and 'whats your handle, good buddy?'
Even if a green-glowing disk hummed down to the ground in front of me and some bizarre looking creatures got out and spoke to me of their culture - I would still need to weight the possibility of a psychotic break against the possibility of interstellar visitors selecting me, out of 6 billion people, to contact. Without strong physical evidence, I would have to check myself into a looney bin for some intensive care.
How does someone having a psychotic break weight the possibility that they're having a psychotic break? :-)
I tend to believe my senses in the first instance. They would have to be reporting something pretty bizarre, something I couldn't explain rationally, before I'd choose to discount them.
Had I been on the flight deck of the Argosy, I'd have believed what I saw - as my friend did. Likewise, had it then been demonstrated to me that I had actually been watching an atmospheric projection, I would believe that. I'm happy to change my opinion when presented with evidence.

Trick!Thursday, October 31 2013
Elizabeth takes the boys trick-or-treating, Felix tries to understand Brad's actions, and Duke wonders what happened to Anna.
Carly the black cat and Josslyn the ear of corn open the door to their first trick-or-treater…Franco dressed up as Andy Warhol. He won't go away and takes a picture of the sexy grumpy kitty. Carly lets him in when he claims he has a treat for her. Inside, Josslyn's tickled that Franco understands she's a 'children of the corn'. Franco knows it's tough to be misunderstood. Carly can't accept Franco's treat of an invitation to his opening since it's not plus one. Franco thought she was kidding but mentions Ava's silent partner doesn't need an invitation. Carly thinks that explains why she saw Ava and Derek together. Franco assures her that the art partners are sleeping together and she wonders why he cares…his girlfriend Diane might not like it. Franco wants Carly to stop it, she's the other woman and every minute she spends with Derek is a minute she should be spending with him. She should stop playing games with him; he knows she feels the same. Franco tries to kiss her but Josslyn calls to Carly who asks him to leave. Outside he tells himself he will wait until tomorrow night to win her heart. As he's leaving, someone in a big bad wolf costume approaches with a butcher knife.
At home, Patrick, a raider of the lost ark, is rescued by the team of Electro Woman and Dyno Girl. Elizabeth arrives with the boys and congratulates Sabrina and Patrick. While they talk Emma flirts with Cam. After they leave she announces she's getting married to Cam and is in a hurry to catch up with him at the GH party. Duke stops by and wonders if Patrick has heard from Anna. He hasn't but she might have talked to Nikolas when he and Britt went after Ben.
Dr. Obrecht, dressed as a beer frau, chases Robin through Wyndemere with Britt's costume. It's her favorite holiday and Britt won't dress up. Robin refuses to have fun and wants her to go cry on Faison's shoulder. Outside, Lesley prompts Spencer on what to say when his dad opens the door. Spencer rings the bell and yells "Trick-or-treat!" Faison opens the door dressed as Beetlejuice and yells back, "Trick!" Lesley lets out a blood-curdling scream. Britt finds Nikolas in his room and complains about Obrecht trying to dress Ben up as Rosemary's baby. She's losing her mind and is ready to kill them. Nikolas won't let her kill them yet, but promises her that he'll keep them away from Ben. No one's ever given their word to her before. Nikolas thinks that's a shame. He's about to kiss her when they hear a scream. Everyone rushes to the door to find Lesley passed out. Spencer blames Faison who claims Beetlejuice isn't bad, he's just misunderstood. Before Lesley comes to, Robin, Faison and Obrecht disappear and listen nearby. She awakes and remembers seeing Faison and wants to call the police. Nikolas claims it was Alfred but Spencer asks about the other ladies who ran off with Beetlejuice. Lesley doesn't remember. The bell rings – it's Elizabeth with the boys. They invite Spencer to the party. Robin overhears Cam tell him that he's going with his girlfriend, Emma Drake. Later, Britt disappoints her parents when she decides to take Ben to the party in a different costume. Outside, Nikolas, the dark prince, reminds Robin to watch her back before leaving. Alone, Robin looks at the costume Obrecht left behind. Later, Obrecht and Faison can't find Robin or the costume. Meanwhile, Duke approaches Wyndemere.
At the GH, Felix dressed as an Operation game asks where the popcorn balls are. Brad comes in dressed the same and replies that he has Felix's balls. Felix wants Brad to change…maybe into a deadbeat dad costume. Felix doesn't understand how Brad did the right thing for Spinelli's kid but he won't for his own. Elsewhere, Elizabeth questions Lesley about Faison when they arrive. She assures her that even if Faison wasn't in jail, Nikolas would never hide him. Nearby, Emma runs off to play with Cam while Patrick introduces Sabrina to Lesley. They see Cam run away. Emma's sad until Spencer steps in. At the party, Brad asks Felix, "What if I told you Britt's son isn't mine?" Britt and Nikolas enter the room. Later, Robin steps off the elevator at GH in a costume.
Tomorrow's Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:
Derek asks Carly, "Trick or treat?"
Faison and Obrecht wonder why Lavery's at Wyndemere.
Sabrina's concerned for Elizabeth.
Epiphany approaches Robin from behind.
Felix confronts Britt about Ben not being Brad's baby.
Someone in a big bad wolf costume scares Franco with a knife.

Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Recognition Day is a momentous occasion in the life of a knob at The Citadel. Coleman Stanton of Mount Pleasant was among the knobs earlier this month who made it thus far.
It means the end of rigid formations, walking in single file at breakneck speed and the highly regimented way of life that is The Citadel's Fourth-Class System: some say the toughest college military training system in the country.
Recognition Day begins much the way the first day of military training began for the knobs - with intense physical and mental challenges. Knobs awake well before the sun rises to begin a series of seemingly endless exercises. They do push-ups and sit-ups and run drills back and forth across Summerall Field for hours.
This special day is the culmination of the rigid discipline endured throughout knob year and the beginning of a new chapter in The Citadel's leadership development process. After hours of grueling physical work followed by a Spirit Run, cadets are called onto the checkered floor of their barracks where, after more pushups, they listen in silent exhaustion for a message from their Regimental Commander.
It is this senior leader who announces over the loudspeaker that the Fourth-Class system is no longer in effect. From then on, the students will be recognized by their first names by all upperclassmen and welcomed into the Corps of Cadets. Later in the day, the freshmen dress for parade and march down to Marion Square, the site of the original Citadel campus.

Repairpal verified 2000 Mercedes-Benz S430 problems
Poor AC performance Due to Evaporator Temperature Sensor Failure
The evaporator temperature sensor can fail, causing the AC compressor not to cycle. If the AC compressor does not turn on, the AC system will not blow cold air. If the compressor is stuck on, the air will be very cold at first, before warming up.
"Crank no Start" Due to Failed Crankshaft Position Sensor
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.
Center Console Armrest May Break
The center console armrest can break. Replacement is commonly the recommended repair.
Analog Tele Aid Units Must be Upgraded to Digital
Analog Tele Aid units are no longer supported and must be updated to digital, preferably at a dealership or a well-equipped independent shop. The update and all related factors should be completed at the same time.
Engine Oil Leak From PCV Vent Housing and/or Engine Inspection Plate
An engine Oil leak may develop from the PCV vent housing on the valve cover and/or the inspection plate on the front of the engine.
Harmonic Balancer May Fail and Damage Timing Cover
The rubber bond in the harmonic balancer can decay, which causes the balancer to move and work its way toward the timing cover. If the balancer comes into contact with the timing cover while the engine is running, it will fracture and damage the cover and potentially other surrounding parts. The harmonic balancer should be inspected at every service.
Transmission May Leak Fluid and Damage Control Module
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid. Over time leaking fluid could migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. If that happens a new harness and control module may be necessary to correct the problem.
Command, Voice Control, PSE, & Tele Aid Modules and CD Chnagers Are All Prone to Failure
CD changers, command units, voice control units, PSE units, and Tele Aid units are prone to failure, especially in early models.
Airmatic Pump Motor May Fail Due to Sticking Relay
The relay which turns the airmatic suspension pump on may fail causing the pump to run continuously. This can result in failure of the pump motor or a dead battery as the pump motor will continue to run after the car is turned off. Also, Worn airmatic pump mount bushings can causes noises in the front axle while driving on bumpy roads or a buzzing noise while the pump is running.
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Squeaking/Worn Brake Pads May Require Rotor Replacement Also
Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
The Differential May Develop Leaks From the Seals or Cover
Leaks may develop from the differential cover and/or seals on high mileage or older vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit if these leaks are addressed.
Oil Leaking From Oil Level Sensor
An engine oil leak may develop from the oil level sensor. Replacement of the leaking sensor will commonly correct this concern.
Door Control Module May Fail
A door control module/actuator may fail. Our technicians recommend finding an expert to repair them. Taking the door trim panels off requires expert knowledge because they can break and the pieces are very expensive.

You don't think of rock stars as the bearers of economics lessons (despite the occasional London School of Economics student among them). But Jack White recently demonstrated an admirable understanding of basic economics. White's record label, Third Man Records, puts out limited prints of records in order to meet customer demand "to be involved in collecting rare and interesting vinyl". There is a problem with this though. If you make something rare and valuable, the market price will be high. So when White set the prices low, people would show up at the Third Man store and buy up dozens of copies then sell them on ebay for hundreds of dollars.
Here's where the economic insight comes in. Many artists in this position would complain about the greedy resellers and that would be the end of it. But White realized that 1) if customers want rare and valuable albums they will be expensive, 2) the market price will be reached no matter what they sell them for initially, and 3) if someone is going to profit it might as well be the creators. So instead of selling them cheap, he auctioned them off at ebay, and as one would expect from the high prices in resale markets some albums sold for $300. As one also might expect, due to people's general lack of economic knowledge and the demands of consumers to get valuable things without paying for them, fans were upset and complained about the "exploitative" auctions. But rather than backing down, White defended the economic wisdom of decision:
We sell a Wanda Jackson split record for 10 bucks, the eBay flipper turns around and sells it for 300… If 300 is what it's worth, then why doesn't Third Man Records sell it for 300? If we sell them for more, the artist gets more, the flipper gets nothing. We're not in the business of making flippers a living. We're in the business of giving fans what they want.
He went on to explain that if rarity and value is what you want, then a high price is what you'll get:
make no mistake, we could make twenty thousand split color whatevers for you, and they'll be worth 20 bucks, and you'll pay 20 bucks for them, and you'll never talk about them, desire them, hunt to find them, etc. why should ebay flippers, who are not real fans, dictate the price, make all the profit (taken from the artist and the label) and take the records out of the hands of real fans. there's a guy who waits in a black suv down the block from third man who hires homeless people to go buy him tri colors when they are on sale. doesn't even get out of his car. should he be charged ten bucks or two hundred? don't be spoiled, don't insult people who are trying to give you what you want.
Ok, so let's forgive White the error saying that the resellers, or flippers, "dictate the price". Sure they may set a price, but it is the supply, set by Third Man and Jack White, and the demand of the customers that actually dictates the price. Nevertheless, Jack White is clearly a man who thinks like an economist. By giving the profit to the creators instead of the resellers, this gives White, Third Man, and their artists more incentive to create more albums. Fans should be happy about this, but instead they're indignant. They should take White's advice:
don't get mad at third man for giving you exactly what you've asked for. and seriously stop all of the whining, because what you communicate to us is that all of the trouble we go to isn't worth it because nothing we do will make you happy.

Google Presentations and JotSpot Could Be Available Next Week
Google will participate at the Office 2.0 Conference that takes place next week in San Francisco. Jonathan Rochelle, Product Manager at Google Spreadsheets, will be there:
"Almost a year ago - it was October 10-11, 2006, actually - I participated in the Office 2.0 conference where we (Google) announced the combination of two of our collaborative content creation/editing products: Spreadsheets, which was in Labs at the time, and the Word Processing product formerly known as Writely. Google Docs & Spreadsheets won't even be 11 months old when this year's Office 2.0 conference is held.... which is really just a shocking (to me) reminder of how young this space is."
This conference seems the perfect place for launching the much-anticipated presentation app. Google announced in April that the "due date is this summer" and made two acquisitions: Tonic Systems and Zenter.
Another Google acquisition, JotSpot, could also be integrated into Google Docs. JotSpot's help center is already hosted at google.com, the same as JotSpot's discussion board. In January, JotSpot launched "the last JotSpot version produced before the migration [to Google's infrastructure] occurs", while in July, Dave Girouard announced that JotSpot will be a part of Google Apps.
After all, if Google launched Docs & Spreadsheets at the Office 2.0 Conference, it makes sense to showcase its evolution there.
Update (Sept. 7): No Google announcement at the conference. A new information about JotSpot's development is that it could replace Google Page Creator.

Sleepypod Air is the only airline approved pet carrier that redefines in-cabin pet travel. Air adapts to the various under-seat storage requirements set by different airlines while providing maximum comfort for your jet set pet.
Worrying about buying a cat carrier or a dog carrier that will not fit under a plane seat is a thing of the past. Our patent pending folding system allows pets to travel in the largest space possible while the airplane is in the air, yet still allows for stowage under an airline seat during takeoff and landing. When the captain says you can recline your seat, rotate the Sleepypod Air so it is between your feet and then expand the ends so both you and your little friend can stretch out comfortably for the duration of the flight. In-cabin pet travel has never been so comfortable.
Meets major airline carry-on pet regulations by being able to compress in length from 22" to 19" when one side is compressed, or 16" when both sides are compressed.
The ends are designed to expand when there is nothing blocking them. Once compressed, the ends of Sleepypod Air remain in a flexed position with the airline seat frame serving as its barrier; the ends fold down automatically to fill the available space.
Top and ends are easy breathing dark mesh that opens for easy access. Pass through pocket to secure to telescoping handle on pullmans. Large zipper pockets on both sides provide space for your pet's essential in-flight items.
Straps on both sides allow you to secure the Sleepypod Air in your car.

Have you ever been out shopping for other people during the holiday season, and the sales were so good you couldn't help but buy something for yourself?
The National Retail Federation calls that self-gifting, and says that this year consumers who do it plan to spend an average of about $140.
Spokeswoman Kathy Grannis says that's the most in the 10 years the NRF has been asking shoppers about the trend.

Over the weekend, the Susan G. Komen foundation held meetings in 15 cities around the country for people who have registered for this summer's 3-Day walks.
The annual events are key fundraisers for the breast cancer research and treatment organization. But after the recent controversy over Komen's grants to Planned Parenthood, some walkers are worried it might be harder to get donations this year.

Custom output settings. Distributed encoding. And a full range of delivery features. Compressor adds power and flexibility for exporting projects from Final Cut Pro.
Learn more about transitioning to Compressor 4.1
A simplified interface, intuitive controls, and tight integration with Final Cut Pro make Compressor the perfect companion for custom encoding.
Intuitive interface
Compressor features a single-window layout, simplified icons, and a darker look to match Final Cut Pro and Motion. The dynamic Preview window shows results in real time as you prepare your footage for encoding. Scrub through video with frame-accurate timecode controls, trim media, and instantly see how effects and filters look when applied to your audio and video.
Share Final Cut Pro export settings
Whether you customize an existing Compressor setting in Final Cut Pro or create an entirely new setting, you can share the results with other Final Cut Pro editors — even if they don't have Compressor installed on their workstations. Just send them a small settings file and have them copy it to the appropriate folder.
Customisable settings in Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro lets you access the complete library of export settings available in Compressor. Customize any setting just by opening it in Compressor. After saving your changes to the setting, you can access it directly from the Destinations preference pane in Final Cut Pro.
Streamlined workflow
Quickly execute common encoding tasks by selecting from a list of presets and destinations like iPhone, iPad, and video websites like YouTube and Vimeo. For more advanced exports, open the Inspector to access all custom controls in a single window.
Custom Destinations
Destinations allow you to combine an encode setting with a post-encode action, which automates tasks such as emailing, copying, and moving files or executing a custom script.
With support for a wide range of popular device formats as well as professional video and audio formats, Compressor expands on the encoding options built into Final Cut Pro.
Encode video for Apple devices
Compressor includes a variety of presets that make it easy to deliver content for Apple devices — including iPad, iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV. Compressor offers hardware-based H.264 encoding on supported machines to greatly accelerate export.
Web sharing and disc burning
Upload files to popular video websites, including YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, and CNN iReport. You can also choose from a set of menu templates to create basic Blu-ray discs and DVDs right from Compressor.*
*Blu-ray recorder required for burning Blu-ray discs.
Image sequence support
Import Targa, DPX, or Cineon image sequences and encode them to any Compressor setting. You can even include an audio track when you encode.
Broad format support
Quickly set up encoding jobs for a broad range of industry-standard formats, including MPEG-2, H.264, QuickTime, and MXF. Or encode to ProRes for stunning quality at surprisingly small file sizes. If you encode files for HTTP live streaming, Compressor delivers all the files you need in a single web-ready folder. For DVD projects, you can also use Compressor for converting surround audio stems into Dolby Digital Professional AC-3.
Advanced encoding options
Use the advanced features of Compressor to add closed-captioning files to MPEG and QuickTime files. You can also add metadata such as keywords, copyright information, and annotations to files as you encode them.
Compressor uses optical flow processing to produce format and standards conversions at exceptional quality. Use Compressor to efficiently convert or retime large numbers of clips.
Format and standards conversions
Convert any file from its source format to any other format — for example, convert from NTSC to PAL, SD to HD, or progressive to interlaced video. Or choose Reverse Telecine to convert 29.97-fps video to 23.98 fps. Compressor offers advanced optical flow analysis to produce format and standards conversions at exceptional image quality.
Video retiming
Speed up video, slow it down, or adjust the frame rate to make the duration match a specific runtime. Compressor produces pristine retiming effects, complete with automatic pitch adjustment for audio.
Dynamic image filters
Choose from a set of convenient image filters to customize and clean up your content as you encode. Easily add a timecode overlay or animated watermarks, which are ideal for identifying your work. Or quickly fix video problems by applying color correction, noise reduction, brightness, and contrast filters — without leaving Compressor.
With distributed encoding features built into Compressor, you can easily use other Mac computers on your network to speed up encoding jobs.
Built into Compressor
Distributed encoding features are part of Compressor, with no need for a separate application. Just install Compressor on any Mac on your network and activate it as a cluster node for distributed encoding.
Shared Computers
Encode jobs without dedicated hardware by using preconfigured groups of Mac computers on your network. Shared Computers sets up clusters of encoding nodes based on the availability of designated computers. It can even tap idle processing cores on a single computer, using all the processing power of multicore machines.

CNet reports that Picasa Web Albums will add some interesting features today. After implementing face detection in the image search engine, Google adds face recognition in Picasa Web Albums to facilitate photo tagging.
"The problem with tagging is that it's a chore, so most people don't bother. But Picasa's name tag feature automates the process enough--and provides enough reason to use it--that I believe many users will take the tagging plunge. (...) The most impressive moments are when Picasa presents a large array of photos with the same face, and you can label them all with a single click," says Stephen Shankland from CNet.
The technology comes from the NevenVision acquisition and I'm sure we'll see more features that depend on image analysis in the future. Other new features in Picasa Web Albums: new views for exploring photos uploaded to Picasa Web Albums, Creative Commons licensing and an option to add photos by email.
Interestingly, the people tagging feature will not be available in Picasa 3, which will also be released today. The software will finally synchronize photos with Picasa Web Albums, but the synchronization is unidirectional. You'll be able to create videos from photo albums and export them to YouTube. There's also an improved collage maker that lets you control how pictures are arranged.
Picasa 3 and the updated Picasa Web Albums are set to be available today at 12 pm PDT.
Update: Picasa 3 can be downloaded from http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasa3-setup.exe (thanks, Anonymous!).
