I work 60 - 70 hours a week. Basically have no social lilfe. Suffer from a chronic permenant health condition and the hours and stress at work have taken a toll on my health. I ache, am always tired, get sick easily. I am salaried at 40 hours. How is it not slave labor?

Salaried aide to a U.S. Senator. Unfortunately with salaries there's usually no overtime, so when I figured out what actually make per hour once, I was appalled! The wonderful exception was when I was an aide to a California State Senator (though I'm sure it doesn't help this state's current economic woes!).

Salaried, which is great because I get paid vacation, but I definitely make it up with the overtime I work and don't get paid extra. Boo!
Zivanod 5 years
Salaried but I do get compensated when I work overtime.

i'm on salary and when you think about how you get paid on the basis of working 40 hours a week, and i typically work far more than that - it's kind of painful. oh well. at least it's a paycheck

I'm a consultant so I bill hourly and get paid OT but get salaried benefits. First time in 25 years that I'm not salaried and loving the OT.

Salaried. I work at a school (as an administrator, not a teacher). We get a ton of paid time off. It's great!

I started off hourly, and then I got promoted and was salaried. But then the government said we're too new to be salaried and we were hourly again, but I still get to keep my raise and have the same number of paid vacation days, so I'm in a pretty nice spot right now :)

Salaried, paid 25 days vacay, and no, I don't have to "pay" by putting in extra hours.
Chaoticfury 5 years
Had a salaried job I hated now I have an hourly job I love. To each their own.

I am hourly, finished my graduate education. I've never had salary but I prefer hourly so far. Even with full time jobs, you may not get paid vacation, you may (should) still get paid holidays and/or accumulate paid time off (PTO). I currently love my hourly pay because not only do I get paid holidays and accumulate PTO, I get COMP TIME! Which means any time I work over my 40 hours a week, it is tracked kinda like PTO but separate from PTO. So if I worked 8 hours over 40, I get to "save" this 8 hours to use in the future. So if I wanted to take a day off, I would have to use comp time first and virtually never use my PTO (and this whole entire time my PTO keeps INCREASING!). It's like working a 4 day week but on paper it looks like I worked 5 days. I used to have a job that approved overtime a lot, which is nice because it's a time and a half, but eventually they freeze overtime and I always felt like I was cramming work into 40 hours which can be hard. Find a job with COMP TIME! Example, they won't approve overtime, but claim they are "flexible" with their hours.
Chrstne 5 years
Salaried high school literature & history teacher. I remember when I was younger, some guy used to brag about being a salaried employee, and would constantly put down the hourly employee. Seriously, I wouldn't care if I was an hourly employee...I mean, in some cases you wouldn't get paid days off...but they're relatively similar, at least to me.

RE: I wish I were salaried, that would mean paid vacation!! ------------------------------ If you are salaried, you almost always "pay" for the vacation with extra hours before and after the vacation to stay caught up (not to mention the every day unpaid overtime some companies press you to put in).

I wish I were salaried, that would mean paid vacation!!
Spectra 5 years
I'm hourly b/c my job is limited to the work I do at the lab and it's of a technical nature...I think there are rules about what a job involves as to whether or not you would be exempt or non-exempt salary-wise.

Trojans set to host 1st and 2nd rounds
The Chase wrestling team has been selected to host the first and second rounds of the NCHSAA dual match state tournament beginning tonight at 6 p.m. with the championship bout to follow.
The tournament operates on a pod system as 32 teams travel to eight different host sites, leaving four squads in each pod. Host sites are determined by conference seeding and geographic location. Joining the Trojans (9-16) are Forest Hills (11-9), Owen (14-14), and West Stanly ( 17-10).
"We are fortunate to be hosting this year," said Chase head coach Adam Dedmon. "We don't have the best record, but we did win our conference and we are located centrally between the other schools. Those are the two major things that go into choosing a host team instead of overall record."
Despite a record that is seven matches below .500, Dedmon expects Chase to advance past tonight's opponents and into the third round.
"Wrestling is all about matchups," said Dedmon. "I feel that we match up well with the three other teams. I expect us to win both matches. It won't be easy, but the team has been in this situation for the past two seasons and that experience will really help."
Chase's first match of the night will pit them against the Yellow Jackets of Forest Hills, with the winner advancing to the championship match to face either Owen or West Stanly.
"I feel very confident in our first match with Forest Hills," said Dedmon. "They can't fill two weight classes and that gives us 12 points right off the bat. That's a huge psychological lift in a playoff match where every point is critical. The other schools have a full complement of wrestlers so they are going to be tougher matches."
Dedmon points to several wrestlers who need to pick up wins for Chase to advance, starting with standout Josh Stephens at 145 lbs.
"Josh is the kind of wrestler that every coach loves to have," he said. "We can move him up or down a weight class to match up with their best kid and know that he is going to come away with a win."
"But it has to be more than just Josh," Dedmon continued. "I think we need to pick up eight individual wins to win the match. Our upper-classmen like Dillon Hemphill, Jesus Sanchez, Lance Johnson and Richard Sharek are going to have to win. Our younger guys are just going to have to go in there and fight hard. They don't necessarily have to win, but they absolutely cannot get pinned. We can't afford to give up six points."
As with any sport, the pressure in the post season is elevated. This is especially true of wrestling, but Dedmon is confident that his Trojans can handle that pressure and pick up two wins.
"You never know which individual match could decide the outcome for the team, so every takedown, escape, reversal, or pin is that much more important," he said. "That's a lot of pressure, but we have been here before. This is nothing new. If we wrestle our best, I know we can win."

Most of the time, Alexis Ohanian is a TED-talking, swine-levitating, Colbert-loving, book-writing kind of start-up guy. With the emergence of SOPA and PIPA (here's an explanation of both proposed bills and their implications), he has also become a digital crusader. In recent weeks, he has been debating issues of accountability, piracy and innovation by any means necessary: television, the blogosphere and under 140 characters.
Weeks of talk has come to a head: At the stroke of midnight, Wikipedia and others will impose 24-hour blackouts on their sites to protest of both bills – reddit will follow suit in a few hours. Google will lend its support by changing it home page.
As the countdown continues, the man who has been at the forefront of this debate offered Elisa Mala some thoughts on dress codes, protests, and what is likely to be remembered as one of the most momentous days in internet history:
What will be on his mind the very moment the sites black-out: "Thrilled. Individuals like me get interviewed, but this is the Internet's movement."
On the ripple effect: "What started as an idea that bubbled up on reddit is now having very real repercussions in Washington and across the Internet. I'm hopeful this is just the beginning as more and more Americans realize we can in fact trump lobbyists."
Advice to would-be protestors of any cause: "Non-violence, rational discourse, and professional attire."
On the meaning of the moment: "The protests on Wednesday are likely going to be the geekiest in the history of the United States, but that's what happens when you force an industry of job creators and innovators to rally at their Senators' offices."
For all sides of this battle, the story continues tomorrow with protests in SF and NY. Mr. Ohanian is scheduled to speak at a large rally in front of the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Everyone is invited to a free performance at the library this Saturday, July 19! Local teens will be performing "Danny and the Fableworld" an original play that they've written and rehearsed over the past five weeks. The show begins at 2:00 pm in the large meeting room, and will last approximately 30 minutes.
We hope to see you there!
About Donna B
Hi! My main hangout in the Library is the Teen Underground, but you'll find me wandering all over the building. Originally from Northeast Iowa, I've lived in the Chicago area long enough that people don't tell me I sound like a character from "Fargo" anymore. I geek out on ginger ale and black licorice, Pottermore sorted me into Slytherin, and if I were a dog I'd be a shiba inu.

Analysis: Some Overseas Extension Of Habeas?
Professor Barbara Olshansky is quoted in a SCOTUSBlog analysis regarding a suit over habeas corpus privileges of four Bagram prisoners whom Olshansky is representing:
After Wednesday's hearing, Judge John D. Bates ordered the government to supply, by Jan. 16, information on how many detainees are at Bagram Air Base, how many were captured elsewhere, and how many are Afghan citizens — the last two points apparently bearing on issues the judge had raised at the hearing.
"You seem to be reserving the position that anywhere [detainees] are held, they would have habeas privileges," the judge commented to Stanford law professor Barbara J. Olshansky. She told Bates that, while she was seeking habeas rights only for the four prisoners involved in the cases now before him, "there can't be any place in the world where we can keep people without any due process."
Olshansky disagreed with Bates on that point of difference, saying that even if a prisoner were actually arrested inside Afghanistan might not mean that they were an "enemy combatant" who should remain detained. She said that the military could easily accommodate habeas proceedings, including giving detainees access to lawyers. Bates countered that "in a theater of war, it isn't all that easy."

1000 km2 of new Ramsar sites for Romania
Romania, which ratified the Ramsar Convention in 1991 and designated the Danube Delta as its first Ramsar site, now has a total of over 9,000 km2 of Ramsar sites. A further 2,000 km2 are in the process of receiving a Ramsar designation, delegates heard.
Dr. Grigore Baboianu told the conference that the main threats and pressures on wetlands in Romania come from damming upstream the Danube Delta, land reclamation for urban development and development of navigation.
The actions that Romania is taking to respond to the threats and pressures on wetlands are wetland restoration works in the Danube Delta and the floodplains of the Danube River and its tributaries, restoration of habitats and ecosystems, waste waters management, development of protected areas network and organic agriculture.
"Some of the best news the Ramsar delegates hear are indeed coming from Romania and the broader Danube basin", said Andreas Beckmann, Director of the WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme. "In the past twenty years since the fall of the Iron Curtain, a veritable revolution has taken place in the way that wetland areas are seen and treated across the Danube basin. High level commitments have been made to promote wetland conservation and restoration, at EU, regional and national levels. And the results are becoming increasingly evident – not just in high-level meetings, but also on the ground".
However, some EU and government plans anticipate diking and dredging up to 1000 km of the river, with potentially massive impacts on valuable wetland areas.
"The Joint Statement on navigation developed under the leadership of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River, Sava and Danube Commissions has created guidelines for mediating conflicts between navigation development and environmental protection - it is a promising start, but must now be fully applied", Beckmann said.
Another cause for concern are current plans to install hundreds of hydropower plants along all of the Danube's tributaries, with potentially massive impacts on wetland areas.

An article titled "On a Class of Solvable Recurrences with Primes", co-authored by Dr. Mihai Caragiu, ONU professor of mathematics, Dr. Alexandru Zaharescu, professor of mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Dr. Mohammad Zaki, ONU assistant professor of mathematics, appeared in 'JP Journal of Algebra, Number Theory and Applications', Volume 26, Issue 2, Pages 197 – 208 (September 2012). In the paper the authors investigate a new class of "greatest prime factor sequences" in which every term is the greatest prime factor of the sum of all of the preceding terms, showing that they satisfy a fairly regular growth pattern.

How to Get Into Shape for Horseback Riding
Six Methods:Stirrup StretchWallBeach BallAbsUpper BodyThe Plank
When you begin any new sport, one of the first things you need to do is be in the right physical shape for it. Every sport uses different muscle groups and stretches new areas of your body, which means that you will concentrate on different exercises in order to get in shape. This is no different with horseback riding. Although people say the horse does all the work, anyone who rides knows that to be a good rider, you need to be an athlete, and riding requires a lot of fitness. Horseback riding typically uses the following muscle groups: shoulders, triceps/biceps, abdominal muscles, back, inner and outer thighs, back of the calf. The following are several exercises you can use on a daily basis to help stretch, strengthen and tone these muscle groups.
Method 1 of 6: Stirrup Stretch
1Walk up to the stairs in your home-if you don't have any, a stair stepper will do or a stepladder if you have one.Ad
2Stand on the stair closest to the ground, falling to your death won't get you into great shape. When you stand, hold onto the railing at first. Now, holding the railing, balance on only the balls of your feet.
3Slowly stretch down and lower your heels until you feel the stretch in your calves. Sound familiar? This is recreating the stirrup! Hold for ten seconds. This will not only improve your position, but your balance as well!
4Now, try letting go of the railing- this will take some practice. Try until you can balance for two seconds, then try five, then increase little by little as you improve.Ad
Method 2 of 6: Wall
1This is a variation of the stair exercise. Walk up to any wall in your house and put your foot up against it about 1/2 to 3/4 of the position it would be in your stirrups.
2Lift foot up to the position where your foot would be in a stirrup.
3Hold for three seconds then release back against the wall.
4Repeat five times; as you get better you can increase amount of time with your foot up and how many you do in all.Ad
Method 3 of 6: Beach Ball
1Use any rubber or plastic ball as long as it is at least a foot in diameter.
2Sit on a hard chair that allows your knees to sit at right angles to the floor.
3Scoot to the edge of the chair so that your thighs are completely off of it, and place the beach ball between your knees.
4Squeeze the beach ball between your knees, hold for fifteen seconds, and then release. Do this a few times a day until 15 becomes easy, then increase to 20, then 30, and so on.
5This is a great way to increase your ability to hang on to your horse with your thighs. It increases the inner thigh muscles. You can also go to the gym and use what is called the "hip adductor" machine. Many equestrians who have had to take time off have noted that when they regularly use the hip adductor machine before getting back on a horse, they are more likely to feel fit and avoid the pain in the inner thighs when one gets back on a horse after a long time off.Ad
Method 4 of 6: Abs
1Good riding is abdominal riding. This means that you need to really use your abdominal muscles to balance yourself, while clinching the horse with the legs when needed.
2If your abs are weak, spend five minutes two or three times a day doing sit ups, and other abdominal exercises.
- Doing sit-ups with a work-out ball is up to 20% more effective.
Method 5 of 6: Upper Body
1In riding, it is necessary to have even toning all over your body. Do not neglect doing some upper body exercises. Many upper level riders have a small set of weights and lift them a few times a day, but you can use your time with your horse to get some extra upper body exercise.
2Give your horse a good massage with a curry comb. Carry your own water buckets and hay. Do chores around the barn like clean the horse's stall or paddock and wheel the wheelbarrow. All of these horse related activities are exercise and make the barn your free workout gym.
3Try roping calves on horseback, steer wrestling, barrel racing as other exercises to help you improve your upper body.Ad
Method 6 of 6: The Plank
1This is a yoga move but it is great for your core muscles. Put yourself into the push-up position but instead of leaning on your hands, lean on your forearms.
2Push yourself up so that only the balls of your feet and your forearms are touching the floor. Crunch your inner muscles as well.
3Hold for about 15 secs and repeat 15 times a day. (A modified version is just being in the upper push-up position and holding).
4Try the plank on horseback in the jockey position, and grab the neck for comfort to the horse and the rider. This will gain the forearm to help you stay balanced on the horse for 20 secs.
- This also will help the upper back. After, you can lower back into the saddle.
- This is also good for people who are into show jumping and approaching a jump.

- The only real way to get in great shape and become a good rider is to ride. Having strong muscles is half of it, but training your brain and eyes and having balance and body control while on a moving object is also important. If you don't get this experience regularly, you will not be in the best possible shape for riding.
- Never think your horse does all the work. Warm up by brushing the horse when picking out the hooves: Use that as stretching.
- Always warm up before riding. Stretching and warming up are very different having different purposes. Warming up prepares your muscles and increase their blood supply for work.
- Studies have shown passive static stretching prior to a workout can reduce stability and strength. If you must stretch, warm up using dynamic stretches particularly for the inner thighs.
- Riding is hard work. If you are not fit, you will get tired easily, and this is less safe. Do not neglect being aerobically fit.
- Do stretches on your horse. - This should help with position and strength.
- Get your lower legs strong. This is what keeps you on the horse.
- Stretch! Always stretch before and after exercise. Take time to warm up and to cool down. Stay flexible and reduce stiffness. Be sure you do all of your stretches slowly and carefully.
- In spite of the fact that people who do not ride always say, "Riding is easy. The horse does all the work," consider the following experiment a rider recently did. Wearing a heart monitor, and having her husband hold the monitor reading device, she got on her horse. Her normal resting heart rate is 48 to 54 (low). As soon as she began walking her horse, her heart rate went to 75. At the working trot (posting in a dressage saddle), it went up to 120, and when she cantered at a working canter, it was 140. This is actually in the aerobic range for this rider, so ignore the fools who say this. If you must tolerate them (like they are your friend, spouse, or parent), get really fit and find a horse they can ride and take them for a good gallop across the field. This usually cures them.
- You can also practice riding bareback, as it will help with natural positioning and thigh strength.
- Wearing the proper attire is also a good idea. Wear breeches, a comfy t-shirt, boots above the ankle with at least a 3/4 inch heel, riding gloves to protect your hands from the reins and a Astm safety approved helmet.
- Horses are unpredictable to those who have not worked around them before and can be dangerous. Use caution when working around them.
- Horses can also be very flighty. When working around them try not to have sudden jerky movements the horse could spook and present a hazard to people nearby

And the photographer is....who else? My little girl, of course! :)
So, please pardon the blurry photo, yea...after all, she is only a toddler but very keen in helping her Mommy out. It's also a way to keep her quiet while I had my makeover.....just let her click away with the camera taking photos of whatever she fancies! :D
Some of the items used
Not in the photo are lip glosses he used on my lips.
(I am trying to recall each and every step.)
1 - He used a black pencil eye liner to line my upper lash line and smudge it to make a base.
2 - He applied the gold shade from G20 palette from the inner corner of the eye outward, and the deep purple shade on the outer corner and blend.
3 - He used the white shade from G20 palette for highlighting the area below the brow bone.
4 - I remember him mentioning that he applied a brown shade lightly on the crease to make my lids appear less puffy. But he didn't tell me which shade he used. Basically, any brown shade, preferably matte would be suitable, according to him.
5 - He applied the black shade from G20 palette on the liner he had applied earlier to create a slight smoky look, and also on the lower lash line after lining it with the same black liner he used earlier.
6 - A brown brow pencil for my eyebrows, and finished off with Hypnose mascara.
He did some shading with the Sparkling Cherub Sheer Warming Illuminating Powder.
Again, he didn't tell me which blush he used.
And for the lips, he applied Color Fever Gloss #200 (a beige shade) as a base, and #306 (a peach shade) on top of it.
Basically, the artist is a nice guy, and his makeup skills are OK, but somehow he didn't try to build a rapport with his customer(s), or rather new customers like me. So I just didn't bother to ask him more questions.
Oh yea, and the goodie bag consisted only of 2 packets of Blanc Expert Ultimate Whitening Radiance Reviving Petals and a Juicy Tube #23 Raisin(more like a berry shade) and a makeover voucher. Didn't upload the photo yet. But nothing extraordinary.
My apologies if I couldn't provide as much detailed information on this EOTD/FOTD as my other EOTD/FOTD which I did by myself, or by my beloved MAC and Estee Lauder makeup artists!
It's already Wednesday and 2 more days to weekend! :D

People are not evil, mean, cruel by nature. Atleast I do not believe they are. Something is making these generally good people act evil. Most people I know that act like a** hats sometimes, end up not being bad at all out of games. Some of them are the nicest people I know.
Something is pushing people in the wrong direction, telling them to be mean. That is the mind control. I want people to be them selves! Be timid, happy, nice, kind, whatever you are. Right not a large amount of people fall into the category of a** hat and I do not think the general population is all a**hats.
So no, it is not mind control, it is mind freedom! I want people to be themselves instead of being these cruel people they turn into only on the internet.

I haven't read through the thread, so this may have already been mentioned. If not, I think a lot of us already know what happened to the community and why it can never be fixed.
Our MMO communities were stellar, full of great people (for the most part) and everyone stood by their name and reputation.
Then MMORPGs became populated by the masses. End of story. Here we are.

They're just conforming to the rules society set for them, when those rules don't exist (the internet) that's when they really come out of their shells.
You're also entirely contradictory, because here you are making a thread that attempts to segregate people for acting in a certain way (rude, angry, verbose, cruel) and then promoting them to act however they are.
It's up to the game developers, game support staff etc. to moderate online communities. Much like it is the responsibility of MMORPG.com staff to moderate this site.
I honestly can't see how you're any better than the people you're chastising in this thread.

Take my advice, I'm not using it anyway.
The community problem is a people problem, and there's no way to fix it without being able to alter the minds and attitudes of everyone involved, and by doing so would strip us of our humanity or what makes us unique. Like so many other posters have mentioned, I don't believe there to be a solution. The only thing an individual can do is to represent themselves as appropriately and respectfully as possible, and hope to lead by example. Generally, this isn't going to effect the audience at large, but rather the people you surround yourself. It's also an extremely difficult task, but requires some understanding of human emotion and why we react how we do. Suffice to say, anger and offense are internal responses that can be controlled, though for some people, myself included, it can take a great deal of practice.

The sad part about this, is your outlook on the situation. The only reason you see my posts as contradictory is because you see the world as evil. I like to think that it is a good place full of good people. If you see it the way I do, then being yourself and not being rude are the same thing. I understand it is hard to change your view for just a second and to live in other peoples shoes, but try it some time, look at the world and think of it as a good place and you may find you do not want to go back to the other way of thinking.
BTW I also never mentioned segregation at any time. I am trying to see if we can come up with a good way of fixing a broken community. Making it more enjoyable for all!

Who did wrong? The advertiser hired to sell the game or the consumer who put faith in advertising?
Valient effort, but I'm afraid this thread won't solve any problems.
You may overcome 1000 different hurdles, but as long as there are teenagers talking to adults as if they are teenagers as well, there will be conflicts.
If you think you can stop teenagers from inappropriate language, flaming and baiting......you should get a masters in child psychology; don't limit yourself to the mmo world.
I will respectfully disagree with your premise that "People are not evil." I can name many people throughout history that are truly evil.
I also disagree with the premise that thinking to please another is "mind freedom." Your statement:
I believe that people are responsible for their own actions and decisions. Everyone has choices. Some choose wisely and others do not. Blaming some outside influence falls flat when not everyone in that situation decides the same.
Now, would I enjoy a much less toxic gaming community? Of course I would. But in no way will I be party to forcing people to behave in a way acceptable to *me*. I am not in a position to dictate to others how to behave. And nobody else is, either, with the possible exception of game publishers within the boundaries their own games.

I was following some threads in Mortal Online lately and was reliefed when reading in threads related to Vanguard. Sadly I have no solution to this. The "report button" here surely ain't doing it cause some of the mods are taking a report way too easy and ban the wrong people due to not investigating the case thoroughly enough.
Edit: Sorry for not reading the whole thread and being a bit out of the flow here.

Again, this is just a differing whole view of society. You think they are evil, I do not. Saying you know a few truely evil people is like saying you know a fat gamer so we are all fat.
Now you did stumble on a good point. If we could make people feel like their actions stick. That action will have reprecussions and that karma is in effect on the internet, maybe people would think twice about being rude. With no feed back system in place, it is a waste of time for people to care about what they do.
Maybe some system to make people think about their actions?

That's exactly what it does. There's no evidence that group centric MMOs have a more positive community. If anything, the MMOs that do not have forced grouping but offer ways for players to collaborate have far more established communities because people are interacting with others because they choose to, not because they have to.
ATITD, UO, Free Realms, Puzzle Pirates and EVE Online have far more socialization and interaction outside of the guild unit than most forced-grouping MMOs. The most notable exception is FFXI, and the key to that game's success lies in the linkshell being more than just a group but being in a specific group that one seeks to join and be an active part of. It excels in its social aspects because it emphasizes not the loot you need to use others to get but the group unit itself.

It is possible that making a player be nice so they may get their "EPIX L00TZ" may also inturn make them happy and nice because they were doing it. Just a thought.

The internet is as much one big community as the whole planet is. There is a reason society exist of 100s of subcultures/communities. Go find a subcommunity that shares you views, you feel good by and that shuns those you feel are toxic.
You really do not have to play and go along with the whole of internet or the whole MMO community.

No, I see your post as contradictory from a logical standpoint. I don't see the world as evil, there is good and bad everywhere.
The world isn't a good place full of good people, you might note that one of the favorite arguments against God's is the overwhelming presence of evil throughout the world. You're clearly living in a microcosm, and you think that, that isolated society of good will is a wider reflection of the world.
I can fully accept your view, you think that the world is full of good people. I think that's wrong, history, nature and every accurate book ever written would contest your opinion. I appreciate that some people are naive, and I don't judge you for that, that's me being open minded.
Why would I look at the world and think of it as a good place? It's not a good place, for me to accept that it was would be a lie. Problems have to be acknowledged to fix them -- The world could be a good place. Not with your way of thinking, of course.
I can never think like you do, barring a lobotomy. (That's not to say that you lack intelligence, just that I would need to lose a massive amount of knowledge.)
You don't need to say the word, by saying that one group of people need 'fixing' you're already in the wrong. The gaming community isn't broken, the worldwide community is.

All we need is for people to take a deep breath, take the time to understand other people's opinions, hold back from writing negative non constructive remarks, realize that it is okay for people to have a different view than you and that it is fine to discuss those different views and that they don't need to become bashing arguments. The one great thing about the internet is you always have the chance to take back something you say, read your post over. If you want to write something hateful or negative, type it out, get it out of your system, then delete it
Same goes with real life, same rules apply, just be a bit kinder to each other..if you have a problem with someone, instead of retaliating in public forums, send them a pm and talk to them in private...who knows maybe you two can work it out and make friends out of it.

Woooooo, you need a hug friend Just so you know, I know their is evil, and all the stuff you are talking about. I have lived alot of places, and seen some stuff I wish I could un-see. I choose to see the world as good because I hope it is mostly good.
I understand that alot of people are like you, that they see the negative and live in it and can't see the positive. People think that it is intelligent to be negative, that they have a better view of everything. I say it is the oppostie. People the live in the negative have a negative life and people that live in the positive have a positive life. People with knowledge should understand that life is what you make of it, so why make it all negative? You are only hurting yourself!
If you can not tell already, I read the secret a while ago and I really thought it was an amazing concept. Basically, for anyone that has not read it I can sum it up as: you are what you think. Think happy you'll be happy and happy things will happen to you.
I think we can make a difference, I like to think the world is good and nice, and I am a very optimistic person. We are not here to discuss me though, but to come up with an idea to help the community as a whole be happier, nicer people!

You say cliques cause disturbance between groups but you don't see the contradiction in that statement. Would it be any less disturbance to have those groups on top of each other? The disturbance happens when they are forced to clash.
Rather than paste the whole thing here, here is a link that explains the benefits of division further.
If you're looking for lyrics to an updated rendition We Are the World, we can work on that, but if we are looking for an actual solution, allowingpeopel to function like people makes far more sense.

And I want to hold, Lo and behold
All the memories scattered on the streets of us teens.
Am I stubborn or what? This makes life much clearer
And I still have room left for one last compromise
Here's to my demise, I hope you say goodbye tonight
don't suffocate yourself
I'm not one to lie, read between the lines, tonight
don't slit my throat.
here we go, blind.
Hand and hand. you leave me
Some day you'll come back

Thanks for stopping by. About me… I am passionate about public relations and professional career development. Following 10+ years in motor industry PR (in-house and consultancy roles), I became a self-employed hybrid practitioner-academic-educator-consultant in 2000.
I'm an experienced and qualified trainer, teach the Chartered Institute for Public Relations qualfications with PR Academy (I'm also a CIPR Fellow), and lecture part-time at Bournemouth University, London College of Communications and online with Kent State University. I am also a director and general secretary of the Motor Industry Public Affairs Association (MIPAA) Limited, which comprises 400+ professional communicators in this dynamic sector.
The concept of Green Banana is a meme for kaizen, or continous improvement – derived from the saying: "If you're green, you're growing". My hot topics are public relations, especially regarding automotive matters, educational issues and career development. I'm passionate about connections, career agency and taking a pro-active approach to accelerated and active learning. I love trivia and bizarre facts too.
Personally I'm a mad dog woman sharing my home with a beautiful, wilful and adorable Rhodesian Ridgeback and a young Jackahuahua who is very funny and definitely a morning boy. Both have found their forever home thanks to the wonderful people at Pound Puppy Animal Rescue in Poole. My other hobbies are reading (everything and anything), hypnotically watching the sea and the social sin of enjoying driving. I also collect historical and contemporary books about public relations.
I have a degree in Psychology and am currently studying a PhD at Bournemouth University on Career Strategies in Public Relations. I have presented papers at the International History of PR Conference, and had journal articles published in Public Relations Review.
You'll find two chapters written by me in the 4th edition of the Public Relations Handbook, edited by Alison Theaker who is my co-author for the Strategic Public Relations Toolkit published by Routledge in 2012. I'm also authored the chapter providing a PR perspective in Promotional Culture and Convergence: Markets, Methods, Media edited by Helen Powell, and am co-author of a chapter on the history of Internal Communications with Kevin Ruck to be published in 2014.

PHP / mySQL Project help
Hey everyone,
I have a project that I got to get done. Its work related to I cant go into to much detail. Its pretty basic actually I just need someone to tell me what exactly I need.
Ok, I have an .exe file (I know this is mac-forums!) that queries an Access Database. So, I am going to take the database from there.
I have to just integrate it into a webpage.... It should just be a basic page that can query the DB etc.
Can anyone tell me what exactly I need.
Im guessing I just need a little PHP.. and I assume it isnt anything major.
Im sure I could create maybe some sort of a barebones page and "Skin" it?
All help greatly appreciated!
Bump...... anyone able to help me out?
PHP is great for this because of its built-in (if you compile it that way) mysql (and/or Oracle) libraries and functions. Before I started playing with PHP, I downloaded the DBI and DBD::mysql perl libraries and wrote some simple CGI code for pulling information from a mysql database and displaying it onto a webpage.
I can't help a whole lot beyond that since my time constraints prevented me from getting too far, but I can probably post a little bit of sample code if you want to see how to get started... (Although my PHP scripts are for work and so they're all speaking Oracle -- the mysql stuff I've done on my MBP are written in perl).
Hey, thanks for the reply. yeah that would be great if you could do that. If its not too much bother that is. Thanks alot!
Here are some links that should help as well:
PHP and ODBC: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_db_odbc.asp
PHP and Access: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/163447
Access ODBC and PHP: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/61/0.php
Edit: And one question I should have asked: Your title says MySQL, but you only mention Access. Where does the MySQL come in?
Thanks alot Thymine. Ill check those out now.
Actually the mySQL side of things I also have to apply the same principle to a mySQL database.
The concept is the same for all databases, with some caveats thrown in here and there. Connection strings will be different, syntax for queries may be different, things like that.
Usually once you do it a handful of times it's no big deal anymore. Open connection, send query, receive results, process results.
Cool! Thanks. I appreciate all the help!
For what it's worth, here's a very simple snippet of code I just hacked together. This takes a few parameters pushed to it by way of wget (which, if you're not familiar with, is a way of emulating a web browser in code to pass a URL to a server and retrieve any html pushed from that server). It takes the passed parameters and loads them into a local mysql database. You should be able to use this to see a very simple way of putting data in to your database. Getting it out is slightly more complicated, but not much...
The way this script is called is by running the following command:
wget -q --delete-after "http://web_url/~user/path/scrpt.php?server=${hostname}&sessioncnt=${usedprocs}&totalsessions=${maxprocs}"

To the OP, most northeastern cities would probably be a bad business decision, same with the left coast.
actually i disagree with the 'sucks' bit. especially if we're talking specific genres. yes, there will be less quality bands anywhere you go, but there are numerous places around the world that are associated with a certain genre(s) so much so that the best bands all congregate there. many bands nowadays (in modern music scenes) end up sharing practice rooms, studios, producers, etc. so if you go to somewhere that is known for the style of music you play then you will find lots of other people there that can help you.
when a place gets a 'scene' then the general music coming from that place usually goes upwards in quality, not downwards. as bands get better, the lesser bands end up dropping out/moving down because they can't keep up and don't get given good slots on shows anymore. you can see this the world over with various types of modern day popular music and track how bands (especially newcomers to old genres) move upwards in the ranks.
some places are easier to make contacts in the first place. the most important thing is that you are in a place that has a large network of bands, promoters and
that are associated with the genre that your band plays, because as long as you are good at what you do then you
rise to the top. ofcourse you don't want to go somewhere that is overpopulated either, but a lot of these places don't actually tend to be in the 'major' cities, it's usually in a slightly smaller city or even a large town where the good shit really happens.
just look back through history from the 90s onwards (especially in rock/metal) and check out all the 'scenes' that have happened, and are still happening. i'm not sure the scenes suck at all really, in my opinion the thing that sucks is when it gets ultra trendy. but then that is the time when the bands make their money, so it is fair enough really.
no doubt your post was just uber sarcasm anyway so i'm sure you already knew all this. right? :)
p.s. if anyone wants to play deathcore and wants to go outside of the U.S. then go to montreal. that is a pretty obvious place to go to really.

Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Heat signed free agent guard Reggie Williams on Tuesday.
Williams played three games for the Thunder late last season after spending most of the campaign in the NBA Development League and Philippine Basketball Association.
The 27-year-old broke into the NBA with the Warriors in 2009 after going undrafted out of Virginia Military Institute. He has averaged 8.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 180 career games with Golden State, Charlotte and Oklahoma City.

The Arts Library Presents a Steampunk Tea
Victorian time travelers are invited to visit the UC San Diego Library, at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, August 25th in the climate controlled comforts of the mother ship Geisel Library on the campus of UC San Diego.
Enjoy light refreshments with fellow futurists, explorers and adventurers and attend Anastasia Hunter's survey of steampunk literature (from Jules Verne onwards).
on display at the tea: Examples of Victorian era entertainments such as magic lanterns, paper theatres and paper optical toys. Critique a scale-model paper theatre version of Jules Verne's "Journey Through the Impossible" and drop in for screenings of steampunk-friendly films in our high-def viewing rooms.
Attention new visitors: steampunk literature re-imagines the Victorian era with a sci-fi aesthetic in a steam-powered, gaslight world filled with wind-up gadgets and clockwork technology.
About our guest speaker:
Anastasia Hunter, Director of Programming for the Gaslight Gathering, San Diego's premier steampunk convention, will speak about the history of steampunk literature, from its inception in the 19th Century with the works of Victor Hugo and Jules Verne, to the 1980's when the term "steampunk" was first coined. Ms. Hunter will also survey more recent examples of the genre from authors such as Scott Westerfeld and Cherie Priest. Anastasia's presentation will highlight the use of steampunk as an inspiration for journeys of discovery both real and imaginary.
This event is free and open to the public. Parking is free that day, as well.
For more information, contact Scott Paulson at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (858) 822-5758, or visit http://artslib.ucsd.edu

On Big Morning Buzz Live, host Nick Lachey and special guest Regis Philbin provided Vanessa Minnillo with special treat. She was the unsuspecting honoree of a duet by the two singers. The whole thing was prompted by a fan who asked if the two men would ever sing together and, of course, Philbin being the showman that he is jumped on the idea. But they couldn't possibly sing a duet to each other so they found Nick Lachey's wife, who happened to be in the audience with their son Camden. After she handed off her adorable son, she took center stage and tried hard not to swoon. Watch their performance of Frank Sinatra's "It Had To Be You" above.

I wonder if playing baseball for the Ducks in addition to football is a possibility? That's a tough split, but not impossible.
I'm hoping the Ducks will get back on track quickly. After attending a game at the Stanford series and observing the passion and fire that was displayed, I'm still mystified by the lack of effort against the mediocre teams in the Pac-12 (UW, WSU, OSU). The Ducks need to do more than just show up at these games and I'm concerned the same attitude might creep in as a top seed at home.
I'm confused by the Ducks. They dominate the better teams and when it comes time to play medicore teams (OSU, UW, WSU) they do not step up. That speaks to a team's mindset to approaching the game.
I think it was telling that before the series Jones had commented that the games against OSU were "just another game". This obviously wasn't the case for OSU and I think there's still some work to do with the baseball team with respect to understanding the nature of this rivalry.
It was disappointing to lose to the Beavers and it's even worse to view their gloating here.
Top Jimmy!
A nice little sign of recognition at this point in the season. There's still a lot of baseball left though. Armyducks247...you may want to check those testosterone levels, not enjoying baseball is an indicator of low T.
Oh...I see dude is again the player of the week. This Payne kid is a complete player and tough as nails.
Great pick up for the Ducks. I guess this guy can score consistently from the perimeter...precisely what's needed to replace the perimeter game from last season.
Total stud for the Ducks. He came up clutch during this weekend series with Cal. Oh...and packalunch, you are a total and complete d**k.
The Ducks had chances in those two losses. Overall it wasn't a bad weekend and this team is primed for futher growth. As for Jabba, I would say that this is par for the course with Beaver fans in name, character and deed.
@ Jones...Awesome
Sim has been one of my favorite players during the past few years. He's been a great contributor to the team and I'm glad he's having a fantastic senior season.
Great win. Singler had an outstanding game. Go Ducks!
Lumberduck...you can't put the loss on Sim, he wasn't the only guy turning the ball over. In fact, Llyod had some bad turnovers as well. Remember, Sim hit a clutch shot to put the Ducks in the lead. I didn't read the line from the game, but we did need more scoring out of Sim. That said, this was a team loss with 22 total turnovers. There were flashes that give me hope that the team could make a run in the Pac-12 tournament.
That was a heartbreaking loss. The Ducks are 7-3 over their last 10 games, but the important factor to consider is that turnovers are the common denominator in the losses. Even still, I liked the effort and passion. This team is so close to putting it all together. Keep your head up Ducks!
Great player and an Oregon kid to boot. Go Ducks!
That was a fun game to watch, but the conclusion was terrible. Singler's block was clean and the game should have gone to overtime. These Ducks are a well coached team that does play with heart. I like these guys. Go Ducks!
I like this team! Go Ducks!
Hopefully we can close out the recruiting season strong...It's preplexing that Cal is getting a host of studs on defense (yet they do so little with that talent).
The Ducks couldn't hit their shots! Cal was indeed fighting through screens but when doubled no players were moving to an open position. The spacing was a bit stagnant. Hopefully, we'll open things up a bit in the offense and get some movement in the next game. After the Stanford game, I really though the Ducks were in a postion to assert themselves in the conference standings. Alas, this was a tough loss. It wasn't helping matters that Cal could commit assault on on our players whereas we could not breathe on them without a foul.
Good game. Go Ducks!

Herring extends in-state tuition to 'Dreamers'
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) hit another political hot-button Tuesday when he issued a ruling stating that certain types of students who came to the United States illegally may now qualify for in-state tuition.
Herring's ruling applies to young people who have qualified for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, often referred to as "Dreamers." In 2012, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services began deferring deportation actions for people whose parents illegally brought them to the U.S. as children, provided they meet certain criteria. The action does not give them legal status, but does allow them to obtain work authorization.
The ruling states that students still must gain admission to a college or university, meet the same residency requirements as other students and maintain their DACA status, which must be renewed every two years.
"If the Commonwealth is to remain competitive in a global economy, we must embrace a strategy that maximizes our talent pool and helps all Virginians reach their full potential," Herring said.
Republican leaders in the state criticized Herring for circumventing the legislature, which has repeatedly killed legislation to extend in-state tuition to students in similar circumstances, even prior to the federal policy change.
"The numerous and complex policy questions surrounding immigration are the subject of a vigorous and ongoing political and legislative debate at both the federal and state level," read a joint statement from the House of Delegates Republican leadership. "What is clear and not subject to debate, however, is that these issues should be considered, discussed and eventually resolved through the legislative and democratic processes, not by the unilateral actions of one individual."
Board adopts fiscal 2015 budget
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors formally adopted the budget for fiscal 2015 Tuesday and raised the county's real estate tax rate by a half cent. The real estate tax rate is now $1.09 per $100 of assessed value. The new budget year begins July 1.
The general fund budget, which encompasses county government and school operations, is $3.7 billion, about 3.6 percent higher than the current fiscal year. The additional funding is primarily going to the county school system and to provide employee raises.
About 52 percent of the general fund budget, $1.95 billion, represents a direct transfer to Fairfax County Public Schools, a 3 percent increase over the current budget year.
The complete fiscal 2015 budget, which includes special funds for things like trash and sewer service, is just under $7 billion.
Fairfax County proposes new rules for noise, house parties
Fairfax County is holding three public meetings to gather community feedback on proposed zoning ordinance changes that would update noise limits and place restrictions on the number and frequency of large gatherings in a private home.
The overall goal of the proposed noise ordinance is to minimize nighttime noise and guarantee residents a certain level of quietness within their homes, according to zoning officials.
The zoning ordinance currently does not identify guidelines for the frequency or scale at which group gatherings are permitted in a home. Without this specificity, managing and addressing impacts of these large, frequent gatherings becomes problematic, according to zoning officials.
Meetings will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. at the following locations:
• Wednesday, May 7 at South County Government Center, Main Conference Room (SCC221)
• Monday, May 12 at Fairfax County Government Center, Board Room
• Monday, May 19 at Lemon Road Elementary School, School Cafeteria
For more information, contact the Zoning Administration Division at 703-324-1314.

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Michael Grabner scored 1:46 into overtime to give the surging New York Islanders their sixth consecutive road win, a 2-1 come-from-behind triumph over the Colorado Avalanche at Pepsi Center.
The Islanders trailed 1-0 before Brock Nelson tallied 4:28 into the third period, then completed the rally when Grabner landed a wrister over the glove of Semyon Varlamov moments after being stopped on a partial breakaway.
Kevin Poulin contributed to New York's sixth victory in seven games overall by turning aside 30-of-31 shots.
Varlamov finished with 22 saves and Nathan MacKinnon potted the lone goal for Colorado, which had won four of five coming in.
"I thought we played a good solid game tonight and deserved two points, not one," said MacKinnon afterward.
MacKinnon's 15th goal of the season, in which the rookie sensation outraced the defense before beating Poulin glove-side with a wicked forehand 1:45 prior to the second intermission, put the Islanders behind entering the third period.
"The puck was just getting dumped into center ice," said MacKinnon of the play. "Andre [Benoit] made a great pass. I got a little bit of a head start and got a clean shot on goal."
New York was able to answer, however, thanks to some strong work from two of its youngsters not long afterward.
Calvin de Haan pinched into the Colorado zone and deposited a well-placed centering pass that fellow rookie Nelson put home to knot the score at 1-1 less than 4 1/2 minutes into the final stage of regulation.
Both goaltenders kept it deadlocked with sharp performances over the remainder of the third period before Grabner came through with the decider on an outstanding individual efforts.
The speedy forward raced down the left side to corral a puck sent off the boards by Brian Strait and skated in close on Varmalov, who withstood the initial chance. Grabner quickly pounced on the loose disc, however, and worked to get a good look before ripping a well-placed shot that found its way through traffic in front.
"I just got on the ice," said Grabner. "Got the puck off the glass and won the race to get open in the slot. First one I tried to go backhand, got it the second time [and] shot it high glove-side and it went in."
Colorado controlled most of the action over the first two periods, but Poulin kept the Isles within striking distance by coming up with nine saves in the first and 13 more in the second.
The Islanders have won six straight on the road for the first time since Oct.
5-26, 2001 ... MacKinnon's 15 goals are tied with San Jose's Tomas Hertl for
tops among NHL rookies this season ... New York's Thomas Vanek had a career-
high 10-game point streak halted, while Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog had an
eight-game streak end ... Avalanche forward Ryan O'Reilly missed a second
straight game with a bruised shoulder, while defenseman Nate Guenin sat out
for third consecutive time with an ankle injury ... New York moved to 8-0-3 in
its last 11 meetings with the Avs.

above 300 T can be generated for microseconds. As the duration of the field pulse a magnet delivers declines, however, so too does its utility as a tool for scientific research. Consequently, the committee took the view that both the technologies and the science associated with fields of very short duration (less than a few milliseconds) lie outside the scope of its inquiry.2
This report has been written for readers who have a technical background and at least some familiarity with high magnetic field science. The committee's decision to write at this level was made following discussions with the NSF. The body of this report begins with an overview of the science that is being done using high-field magnets and the science opportunities and challenges that might open up if higher-field magnets were developed. It closes with a discussion of magnet technology that explains why the fields generated by today's most powerful DC magnets are less than two orders of magnitude stronger than those available to scientists in the 19th century, and points out the opportunities that now exist for developing more powerful magnets. This report includes several appendixes the readers may find useful, such as descriptions of selected high-field facilities around the globe, tutorials on advanced topics, and a glossary of common terms.

Governor Appoints Roswell Lawyer To Judgeship
By KRWG News And Partners
Gov. Susana Martinez has appointed Roswell lawyer James Hudson to a vacant district court judgeship in southeastern New Mexico.
Hudson will serve on the Fifth Judicial District court. He fills a vacancy created by the death earlier this year of Ralph Shamas, who had been a district court judge since 2005.
Hudson has been a partner in a private law practice since 1990. He received his law degree from the University of New Mexico and earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Notre Dame University.
The governor said in a statement that Hudson was highly qualified for the judgeship.
