I used to drink this brandy many years ago, it was at 40% alcohol back then. Why is it lowered to 36%? I like to drink brandy with higher alcohol content.

Wat Tammikarat
Wat Tammikarat is a royal temple surrounded by many large pillars. It is one of the biggest royal temples of the Ayudhya Kingdom. Despite some damage, it still shows traces of embellishment. Originally, it was the enshrinement of Luang Por Tammikarat – the villagers called him Luang Por Kae (old) since he had an old face. One of the biggest Buddha images made by U-thong artisans is today preserved in the Jao Sampraya National Museum.
Inside Wat Tammikarat, there is a very beautiful reclining Buddha. As stated in the legend, one of the queens of the Ayudhya period built this reclining Buddha for her daughter in order to help her recover from illness. The sacred water from this Buddha is believed to be able to cure illness.
Inside the temple area, there is free drinking water for visitors. Visitors can also donate drinking water if they want. The restrooms inside the temple are very clean. There are restrooms for disabled and the elderly.
You are also recommended to visit Chedi Sing Lom, one of two chedis believed to be influenced by the Khmers.
Wat Tammikarat is located in Tambol Taa Wasukree, Amphur Pranakorn Sriayudhya, Ayudhya.

Soup is well known as a comfort food favorite during the colder seasons, but it also makes a surprisingly satisfying diet food. Fiona Kirk, author of Soup Can Make You Thin, recommends soup for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even as a snack between meals.
"Breakfasting on soup might be an alien concept to many," she says, "but once you have tried it you may never again want to run out the door on just a slice of toast."
In addition, soup is cheap and easy to make; there are practically no right or wrong ingredients.
The Benefits of a Soup Diet
"Soup is simply a miracle in a bowl for fat loss," says Kirk. "The combination of water and solid fills you up more effectively and for longer than if you eat exactly the same food but drink the water separately – plus the water and water content of the vegetables in soup allows for efficient exchange of nutrients into body cells, greatly reducing the possibility of bloating."
As with any type of meal, soup can be made healthy or unhealthy depending on which ingredients you select. Here are Kirk's top five tips for making healthier soups:
- Choose high-protein soups or add your own protein toppings.
- To stay full and energized, add healthy fats such as olive oil.
- To get a better night's sleep, try soup before bed.
- Eat soup as a snack to keep your energy levels even throughout the day.
- Add healthy herbs and spices to rev up your metabolism.
To lose weight fast, check out the recipes in Soup Can Make You Thin. If you're more adventurous, you can always make up your own recipe. That's the great thing about soup: it's one of the most veratile foods around.

Also, I doubt Harbaugh would take the job here with the current state he has Stanford in.
I highly doubt he was taking a shot at Rich Rod, you are reading way too much into that. Looks like you are having a good night though, stay classy.
You + Are = You're
Some of us choose not to use contractions...so stop bitching about the grammar.
Contractions are optional, and are more popular in speech than in writing. In fact, it is more proper to write without contractions. You're an idiot.
Bringing up the Oregon game was a great point in his favor...
How is it a good thing that Harbaugh wants to rub a big lead in someone's face? I get much more satisfaction in straight-up beating somebody than I do rubbing my superiority in their face. Going for 2 when up big is an ass move.
That I donated one of my MGoPoints to neg you.
I'm not sure where that MGoPoint went, but I hope it's Mott's Childrens Hospital.
Just shut up. I listened to all of the irrational fans all game I don't need to hear you complain even more. Rich Rod didn't miss tackles or throw picks. Thats the players. A coach can only do so much. Now shut up and go away.
I was unaware that coaches around the country teach kids to miss tackles and throw picks. Thanks for pointing that out. A coach can only do so much. The rest is up the guys on the field. Unfortunately at this point those guys are 2-3 years younger than just about all the guys they are going up against. Until you realize this you are never going to be happy no matter who is coaching. Coaches don't teach experience.
Where'd you play? Still coaching? Prove it.
He has still yet to prove it, me thinks he's a great big phony.
Never a mod when you need one...
Ill give you one so you can keep negging the jumpers.
Ha -- I donated seven of mine (one for all of the lame posts).
Sometimes I miss MLive. Not really.
The guy was there on the corner trying to wash the window of my car with a really dirty rag. I rolled down the window and negged him at the light. I'm sure he's going to use them to buy alcohol, drugs, or smokes, but at least my conscience is clear.
You sir are a douche.
That would be you, mestaba. That would be you.
Can I get a.....
Dantonio is a good coach, but the media has hyped him to the point where it helps with recruiting. From the announcers at the MSU game today: "Dantonio is known as the Dean of Discipline, which is quite ironic since his teams lead the BigTen in penalites" - he could also say in plea bargains.
Eh... I'm not really that concerned. They're a good team, but I don't think they're good enough not to slip up somewhere before the end of the season.
Right now, I would say they are. I'm not even sure they're going to go through the usual second half collapse either.
In a word... no
in three words.
not dem brahs
they could lose at NU next week. They were down 6-3 against Illinois at half today. But yeah, my greatest fear is Dantonio pulling an Izzo.
and that's the only thing that counts.
They will lose a game or two this season, just like everyone else in the Big 10. They might still win the Big 10 by record, but I still think OSU, Iowa, and maybe even Wiscy (at least at home) are better.
Either them, Iowa or Purdue. The numbers are the numbers. Michigan State being successful has very little to do with what is going on at Michigan except for 1 game a year anyways. So look at their hot start in a positive light. Couldn't be more proud of the growth taking place with Little Bro.
Did you really just throw Purdue in there as part of the best team in the big 10 discussion just because they are 2-0? Would like to know your thoughts on Purdue the next two weeks as they go to OSU, and Illinois.
Did you pick Purdue because they beat the two esiest teams on their schedule? Because while I think Northwestern will be a decent squad, Minny is a trainwreck. Let's see how they look in a couple of weeks.
I watched the entire MSU/Illinois game today, and to be honest, I wasn't impressed with MSU... again. Don't get me wrong, I think MSU is a pretty good team, just not a great team.
Illinois controlled almost the entire game with their defense, and if Illinois had any kind of offense, they would have won that game. It almost seemed like the Illinois defense gave up in the 4th quarter once they realized that their offense sucked so bad they wouldn't score anyway.
They don't need to be great, they just need to win
By like 20?
Yeah, but their offense did very little. Scheelhaase was awful, and simply handed the ball over to them again and again. With a slightly less awful QB, Sparty would have been in real trouble.
MSU is not great, but nobody else in the Big Ten looks consistently great either. Perhaps consistently not bad will be enough to win the Big Ten this year.
I don't think they're better than OSU. It's just one of those things. They got to play UW and UI at home while OSU played those two on the road. But they are a good team. MSU-Iowa will be a very good game.
Fortunate for MSU - bad.
We would then be living in the very definition of hell. While I am definitely more interested in Michigan winning I would not be at all opposed to State losing.
We will know more after they play at iowa...
I don't think there is a clear best team in this conference. It could be MSU. It could also be Iowa, OSU, or Wisconsin. I guess you'd have to go with MSU for now, but I think someone like Boise St. or Oregon would beat them by 10+ easy.
It is basically going to come down to a round robin between those 4 teams. State is in the driver's seat though with a win in the bank and the fact that they miss OSU. If they beat Iowa they pretty much waltz to Pasadena. Needless to say PurpleStuff and America! will be pulling for Stanzi to make a stand for goodness in the world and kick their ass.
I may never root for Iowa more than that day.
And trust me, in this conference, there are lots of chances to root for Iowa.

Read: How Henrik Lundqvist Feels About Staying With The Rangers
7:05AM: At an event last night across the street from Madison Square Garden, WNBC's Bruce Beck asked Henrik Lundqvist about his contract situation.
Lundqvist said, "it's been a great ride for me to be in New York to play in this organization for these fans. Right now we are talking about my future, it would mean a lot to me to stay here. Hopefully we can work something out that makes sense for both sides."
Beck asked Lundqvist about the idea of staying with the Rangers for his entire career and Lundqvist said, "the thought of that excites me."
On Geico SportsNite last night, Lundqvist said "we are talking but the good thing is that we have another year so there is no pressure to get it done. We are talking and we will see where it leads. So far it's been a great time in New York and I don't see any reason to leave.
Lundqvist told Newsday that there is more than just money involved in these negotiations.
THIS SECTION is about Lundqvist's future with the Rangers.
More from Lundqvist below, including his thoughts on the Mets Matt Harvey.
Lundqvist also told SNY's Nick Licalzi that:
- he hasn't spoken much to Alain Vigneault but he expects the team to adjust well and learn the systems in training camp.
- He isn't preparing any different for this season even though it's an Olympic year. He won't be thinking about the Olympics until they are here.
- He loves Matt Harvey and wants to go to Citi Field to see him pitch. Harvey has "great style" and is catching up to him quickly in terms of style and presence in the city.

talking to my teenage daughter about what to wear
I was directed to an article in the Daily Mail this week, reporting a mother's concern about what her teenage daughter chose to wear to her 14th birthday party and luckily, as I have no imagination, the Mail helpfully published a photo of what a teenage girl actually looks like in tiny gold lame shorts. Thanks guys!
I felt for the mother and her confusion – she was upset that other girls were calling her daughter a slut, but she couldn't help thinking they were right. This summed up for me the dilemma we parents face these days in a culture which pressurises our daughters to always look 'hot' and then damns them if they do, and puts the blame on them if they suffer any sexual assault, for dressing 'too provocatively'. We are left with the task of giving our daughters two conflicting messages,
1. sexual assault is never your fault no matter what you are wearing
2. but please don't dress like a slut
Our daughters are merely reflecting the highly sexualised culture in which they are growing up, so let's empower them to navigate that culture with intelligence rather than allowing it to unconsciously influence their choices.
First of course, we have to get unconfused ourselves. Then we can confidently have those day-to-day What Your Clothes Say About You conversations in a 'this is a really interesting subject' tone of voice, rather than an 'oh my god you're not going out looking like that' tone.
So here's a summing up of the conversations I'm having with my daughter…
There is a difference between 'sexy' (good!) and 'sexualised' (eeeurgh..!) and we all instinctively know the difference when we see it. The first one is a mixture of looks, clothes, style, personality, character, humour, individuality…. etc etc, and the second is ONLY YOUR BODY. The first is empowering because it's you as a whole person, the second is degrading because it's ONLY YOUR BODY.
'Sexy' keeps the power with you, 'sexualised' hands it over to the other person. 'Sexy' feels good, 'sexualised' diminishes, reduces and inhibits.
The first sends out the message 'I am confident in myself', the second sends out the message 'I am desperate for the sexual attention of boys'. That's not a good look. The first is way cooler.
It's fine to dress with the boy you fancy in mind but also be aware that the boys you definitely DON'T fancy will be looking at you too (eeeurgh..!)
You wouldn't fancy a boy who was a tart, so the boy who gets the honour of your fancying bestowed on him probably wouldn't fancy a girl he thought was a tart either.
Once you set the bar to 'very revealing' it's really hard to get it down again, and you will trap yourself into having to continue wearing clothes like that just to feel good. Anything less will start to feel dowdy.
Although in your culture the media everywhere you look sells you the message that 'sexualised' is good, remember that the media is mostly controlled by middle-aged and old men (eeeurgh..!). Go for self-expression, not 'sleazy tabloid culture'-expression.
And of course, never go near a Daily Mail photographer.
var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-33287493-1']); _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'communicatingwithkids.com']); _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

10 Responses to "talking to my teenage daughter about what to wear"
Brilliantly written article Steph, all girls of any age should read it never mind their parents! Boys too for that matter! I'm going to read it to mine. Cath
Very good! I couldn't agree more and you have really summed up well the (often subtle) difference between being sexy and sexualised. I will remember this for when my son is older.
Really good insight and clarification. I hopefully won't be having those conversations for at least 10 years but good to bear it in mind.
Brilliant! That's really made it clear to me about the choices I have in the way that I dress and the decisions I make about what is appropriate for a woman of my age. Oh and it would be useful for my daughter too…
It really is a conflict of messages, isn't it? You describe it well.
Very good subject… excellent conversation suggestions for parents to have with their children. However, my first question or statement is who purchases and give permission for daughters to wear the clothes in the first place. Parents must remember that we have the power and keep it as long as we are making the purchases and monitoring (as much as possible) what they are wearing. The conversations about valuing themselves and considering others is critical. But parents need to take back their power. I have three daughters and inevitably we had to have the conversations. Not often because when we shopping we agreed on what was being purchased. This minimized access to over sexualized and revealing garments. As they grew older they were able to make decisions for themselves based on those exchanges we had all their lives. Moreover, I modeled the difference between sexy and sexualized clothing.

Chance to vote for Bath's Mayor's Citizen of the Year
Posted: February 25, 2013|
The search is on for a big-hearted person to be named Bath's Mayor's Citizen of the Year.
First citizen Councillor Andrew Furse is searching for his Citizen of the Year who must live or work in Bath, or belong to a group based in the city.
Last year shop worker Allan Crossley was one of the winners after facing an armed raider in the store where he worked while Doreen Williams accepted the first posthumous award on behalf of her father who died trying to save others in the Bath Blitz of 1942.
Also receiving an award was special constable Spencer Cartwright, neighbourhood watch coordinator Peter Sellwood, judo teacher Pete Thatcher and coffee morning organiser John Davis.
If you know of anyone who deserves an award for their long-term voluntary work or a courageous act, complete a nomination form, which is available online at www.mayorofbath.co.uk or from The Mayor's Office in the Guildhall.
It needs to be returned by 9am on Monday April 8.
Mr Furse said: "I have read in The Bath Chronicle about some very brave residents and I hope to receive nominations for them as well as for the volunteers who give their time day in and day out, year after year."

Location: Cropping Systems and Water Quality Research
2012 Annual Report
ARS researchers at West Lafayette, Indiana: Significant progress toward calibration/validation of APEX and application of the model to assess the impacts of conservation practices at the field scale has been made. Plots were established at the Throckmorton Purdue Agricultural Center to study the impacts of strategies to minimize soluble phosphorus losses from no-till farming.
The St. Joseph River Watershed Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) Watershed Assessment Study (WAS) has been selected as one of two benchmark watersheds to be used for a multi-Agency effort to assess the impacts of conservation practices on environmental quality at the watershed scale. The Agency Priority Goals (APG) project is a collaboration between National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA), United States Forest Service (USFS) and ARS to provide a cost/benefit analysis to conservation practices at the 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) level. Based on the scale, resolution, and quality of the data collected in the St. Joseph River Watershed CEAP WAS, the ARS researchers at West Lafayette, Indiana was contacted by NRCS headquarters as the first watershed requested to participate in the APG project. This will be an intensive 1 year effort, compiling monitored water quality and quantity data, ecological assessment data, cropping system attribute data, as well as field and watershed scale modeling efforts to provide the other agencies with information on the effectiveness of current conservation practices, and how those agencies may better target conservation practices in the future.
In the young glacial till landscape of the upper Midwestern US, closed depressions occur widely – known locally as potholes. Surface drainage water from potholes will collect at the lowest spot in the pothole, and will keep the area too wet for farming, even with standard subsurface tile draining the field. Therefore, most potholes that are farmed are drained with subsurface tile, but also have supplemental drainage from a tile riser. A tile riser is a pipe with 1/2" – 3/4" holes drilled in the sides. Scientists at West Lafayette, Indiana. identified the extent of potholes within a watershed as being directly related to the concentrations or loads of nutrients lost from the watershed. An alternate practice, called a blind inlet, was researched to provide greater filtration of surface water from potholes. Loads of P can be decreased by about 78% when drained with a blind inlet compared to a tile riser, and nitrogen (N) loads can be decreased by greater than 50% when drained with the blind inlet. In 2012, ARS scientists have worked with NRCS to develop a conservation practice standard, and NRCS in Indiana is now offering blind inlets as a cost sharable practice through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). State NRCS offices in Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa have shown interest in the practice.
ARS researchers at Temple, Texas: This long-term project was designed to evaluate nutrient management practices for both organic and inorganic sources at the USDA-ARS Riesel Watersheds. This year marks the eleventh year of comparing poultry litter and inorganic fertilizer, and the economical and environmentally-friendly nutrient management strategies developed from this work have reduced the potential for water quality degradation from agriculture. Related research is evaluating the reduction of bacteria runoff and odor by in-house windrow composting of litter prior to land application. In addition, methods for determination of optimal fertilizer application rates have been determined and were evaluated. These enhanced nutrient management strategies represent important agronomic advancements with the potential for major agro-economic and environmental benefits.

Assessment of the impact of agriculture on the Jobos Bay National Estuary: The Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (JBNERR) is a semi-enclosed ecosystem along the southeast coast of Puerto Rico. Agriculture, including vegetable, row crop, tree fruit, pasture, and poultry, is an important land use within the watershed. To better understand the potential impact of agriculture on JBNERR, the watershed was designated as the first USDA tropical Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP). ARS researchers at Tifton, Georgia identified an agricultural field near the land/estuary interface for detailed study. Groundwater and water quality studies in the area indicate that the primary mode of transport to the estuary is through surface runoff generated during intense rainfall events. Groundwater transport is expected to be low due to low rates of movement in the surface aquifer. These findings should be valuable to management agencies selecting conservation practices that will reduce surface runoff and agricultural chemical loading to the bay during these intense rainfall events. 16. Simulation of riparian buffers in the Jobos Bay Watershed, Puerto Rico: ARS scientists at Tifton, Georgia working in conjunction with USDA-NRCS, used the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) and Riparian Ecosystem Management Model (REMM) models to show that riparian buffers had the potential to keep nutrients and pesticides in runoff from an agricultural field from reaching a mangrove wetland. APEX simulations confirmed that most of the transport on nutrients and pesticides occurred in large events (tropical storms). REMM simulated buffers were less effective in tropical storms but showed that if surface runoff was directed into buffers of at least 35 meter width that about 35% of nutrients and 70% of atrazine could be removed from runoff. 17. Simulation of riparian buffers impact on water quantity and quality in the coastal plain: Riparian buffers are an extremely important component of Coastal Plain Watersheds, dramatically impacting the quality of surface and subsurface flow reaching Coastal Plain streams. Until recently, large scale watershed simulation models have not adequately addressed these riparian buffers in their simulation methods. ARS researchers at Tifton, Georgia in cooperation with ARS researchers in Temple, Texas and researchers at Tarleton State University in Waco, Texas incorporated these functions into the Soil Water Assessment Tool and Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender models. Preliminary tests were conducted to examine the accuracy of the new simulation methods. These new simulation tools appear to offer significant improvements in the way riparian buffers are simulated in these models. 18. Assessment of conservation practice approaches in the Little River Watershed. ARS researchers at Tifton, Georgia used the Soil Water Assessment Tool model to simulate the water quality effect of upland conservation practices (CPs) commonly adopted in the Little River Experimental Watershed (LREW) for either erosion or nutrient control and compared those results to the simulated impact of the riparian forest buffers currently in the LREW. Erosion CPs resulted in the greatest reductions in sediment and phosphorus while nutrient reduction practices were most effective in reducing total stream nitrogen. We also evaluated three different prioritization scenarios for implementing CPs. Prioritizing based upon nonpoint source pollutant load yielded more efficient water quality improvements while the other implementation schemes were less efficient. Riparian forest buffers offered the most comprehensive reduction of all three pollutants. Simulation results indicate that the current level of riparian forest cover in the LREW may be the single greatest contributor to nonpoint source pollutant reduction. 19. Satellite derived mapping algorithm. Conservation tillage is a commonly adopted best management practice for improving soil quality and reducing erosion. However, there are currently no methods in place to monitor conservation tillage adoption at the watershed scale. A mapping algorithm, using commonly available satellite imagery, has been developed to depict conservation tillage adoption within the Little River Experimental Watershed. The resulting map identified farm sites using conservation tillage (defined as having >30% crop residue cover) with 71-78% confidence. Models used to map conservation tillage adoption were created using a subset of 44 sample points and validated using 94 sample points. Results are encouraging and suggest that currently available satellite imagery can be used to map conservation tillage adoption with a minimum amount of ground control points. 20. Assessment of conservation practice placement. ARS scientists worked in conjunction with USDA-NRCS to develop a 26 year history of NRCS-assisted conservation practices in the Little River Experimental Watershed (LREW). The database was used to evaluate placement of conservation practices in the landscape. Nearly 50% of all cropped fields were identified as having participated in NRCS conservation programs. Sixty-two percent of these fields (77% of land area) received assistance for soil erosion and water erosion quality control practices in high resource concern areas (slope > 2.7 % and low infiltration). Sixty percent of the fields receiving assistance for soil and water erosion control were located within 50 meters of a water body. We estimated that 30-40% of the time erosion control practices were implemented in areas not rated as a high concern. A subset of the LREW was used to evaluate adoption and placement of erosion control practices both with and without NRCS assistance. Forty-seven percent of all fields in the sample implemented visible erosion control-specific conservation practices. The implementation was linearly related to slope class. The relationship observed between erosion control practice placement and slope in the sub-watershed database is encouraging and suggests a commitment to good stewardship regardless of participation in federally funded conservation programs.

Microsoft Talks IllumiRoom for the Next Xbox (video)
Remember IllumiRoom? This was a proof of concept showcase from CES at the beginning of the year. It's Microsoft's new tech for their next Xbox that can blanket the walls of a room with a given game image as if the walls were projector screens. Yes it's a bit of augmented reality that can organically expand your field of view and more. What was shown was impressive. It not only throws your game image up on your walls but it could also enhance the experience by showing only the background image on the walls in a room, while the main centered image focused on the action which is usually positioned in the middle of a given display. More is scheduled to be revealed at the CHI 2013 event, which begins this week.
The tech used is pretty slick. Microsoft is using a commodity wide-field of view projector with Microsoft Kinect sensor strapped to it. This is how the visuals are thrown up your walls which hopefully, are not overpupulated with boy band CD covers. If not then the resulting experience from IllumiRoom could be a very original one. But even if your room and walls are overgrown with geek love, don't worry. The IllumiRoom is prepared by "capturing the appearance and geometry of the surrounding room (furniture, carpet, wallpaper etc.)" It uses this intel to recreated a low resolution interactive experience that compliments the high resolution gaming displayed on your television.

pictures of my two-person quilt and the quilt i sewed for my 5-year-old. my pretty pics

Very cool! I like the kid's quilt. Nice job!
WAY cool Colleen! Beautiful work!
ColleenI hope your family knows how lucky they are! Very neat, pro job.Todd
Now I just need to find a woman that can do that for me.
Edited by simplespirit on 08/21/2007 19:42:54 MDT.
thank you all for the positive reinforcement. the next big thing is the new family tent, which will be a knockoff of Titanium Goat's tents. i just have to decide if i'm making it out of good ol' silnylon, or if i'm going to take the brave step of using spinnaker. oh, and i have to move before i do it. i can't sew a tent that size on my dining room table with two wild monkeys running around me all day!
Colleen,That is superb workmanship!Keep up the good work!I am contemplating a down vest project. I was wondering how you "managed" the down, both how you contained it and how you measured the amount to put in each baffle?Your insites will be greatly appreciated!Mike
thank you very kindly.down management has not been difficult for me - i haven't needed to put up a tent or create a sealed chamber. the down from thru-hiker arrived mildly compressed in airtight plastic bags. i opened the bags and transferred the down into 13-gallon kitchen trash bags, the kind with drawstring closures. when the time came to use the down, i just set the bag down on the floor next to my table and opened the bag just enough for my hand to get in.measuring the down was a little tricky for me, as my scale only shows 100ths of an ounce in fives, but for the thru-hiker patterns (i'm assuming you're considering a thru-hiker kit) AYCE notes the exact amount of fill recommended for each chamber. so it might say "0.17 oz" but i'm only able to measure 0.15 or 0.2 on my scale. i just did the best i could and paid close attention to when the scale clicked up to the next increment, then added or subtracted tiny amounts as i judged best. if i overfilled by 0.01 ounces, i'm not too upset. ;)hope that helps. if you do order from AYCE, he provides excellent customer support through both his message board and over the phone.

Facebook is testing a number of 'Buy Tickets' buttons for its events pages – leading to some speculation that the social network could one day enter the ticketing space more deeply.
The examples that have been snapped by users so far appear to be relatively small scale gigs.
The Next Web reports that the mechanism only seems to be available in Israel and The Netherlands at present with buttons also being seen to appear on some people's timelines.
At present the links redirect to third-party ticketing companies. The picture below shows a link to Ticketmaster during an event setup.

Poll – How Young is Too Young For Technology?
It blows my mind how much technology has advanced in such a relatively short period of time. It was only one generation ago, when I was a kid, where our "high tech" toys were things like the Speak & Spell. These days, some toddlers' first toys are iPads and smartphones. Are they starting too young though?

Robert, waterlooville
Great looking shoe and really comfortable and lightweight. Would purchase again.
Inappropriate? - Report this
These shoes are very comfortable and look really well made. They were also very reasonably priced in the sale.
Inappropriate? - Report this
I have had these shoes for just over six months and they are now completely unwearable. The soles have worn completely through (both the rubber and then the insole) so that there is now nothing between my socks and the pavement. This is obviously not acceptable from a shoe, and for a high priced shoe from a reputable high-quality retailer like Clarks I would expect the shoes to last a lot longer than 6 months. On the plus side they are comfortable for the first few months before they break. Feedback from Clarks: We're sorry to hear you're unhappy with your purchase. We do thoroughly test all our products before they go on sale, so the issue you describe seems unusual. Please return to one of our stores with proof of purchase so the manager can look into it for you. We will happily refund or replace any items deemed as faulty.

These are a very comfortable lightweight and certainly make standing on your feet all day a more pleasurable experience. I also like the fact that the shoes are not too formal but still look smart enough to wear to work.

"Squirrely Treasures" reflects many facets of me! I treasure the long weekends my husband and I spend in the Smokie Mountains in a cabin. In this piece, the squirrel is living in the truest form of a log cabin with a beautiful view of the mountains. I too am nutty over my fabric stash and squirrel them away for the perfect project! My husband and son built a squirrel feeder so that we can watch our chubby little friends feast daily.
oh how charming....and the nuts! what more can I say...but...the best of them all!!!!!
Nicely done and enjoy the humor !
Very whimsical! Did you thread paint the entire squirrel?
I did thread paint the squirrel. I am so excited to be a finalist! This is my first art quilt and my first attempt at thread painting!

Perhaps Third Time May Be the Charm for Jerry O'Connell and Alex O'Loughlin This Fall
That's why, come September, both O'Loughlin and O'Connell will be in brand new CBS series: O'Loughlin as Steve McGarrett in a remake of 'Hawaii Five-O' and O'Connell as a Las Vegas lawyer in 'The Defenders.' The question is, will their respective curses be broken or will they need to look for another job outside of acting?
It wasn't all bad fortune for these actors just a few years ago. Back in 2007, O'Loughlin's star was rising fast after a seven-episode stint on 'The Shield.' From there he was immediately cast as brooding vampire Mick St. John on CBS' 'Moonlight.' While the fans, especially the women, loved O'Loughlin in the series, many critics didn't and the show was canceled after one season.
Also in 2007, Jerry O'Connell -- already well-known as the star of 'Stand By Me,' 'Sliders' and 'Crossing Jordan' -- took a chance on single-camera comedy in the ABC series 'Carpoolers.' While receiving fair reviews, the show became a victim of the writers' strike and ended after only one season.
Both actors jumped right back into television, O'Connell in the 2008 FOX sitcom 'Do Not Disturb,' which crashed and burned after only six episodes. CBS gave O'Loughlin another opportunity as an organ transplant surgeon in the 2009 drama 'Three Rivers.' After unfavorable reviews and terrible ratings, 'Three Rivers' lasted only eight episodes before it was yanked off the air.
So, after so many cursed years, what's so different with their new ventures that produces some hope? For O'Loughlin it's nostalgia that gives him the edge. With the original 'Hawaii Five-O' spending over a decade on the air on the same network, there's bound to be fans of the old show, as well as fans of O'Loughlin himself, who will tune in for at least a few episodes to see how he defines the role of Detective Steve McGarrett.
The forecast also looks brighter thanks to O'Loughlin's supporting cast. The actor can rely on TV veterans from shows with ardent fanbases, including Grace Park from 'Battlestar Galactica' and Daniel Dae Kim of 'Lost.' And judging from the pilot, he's got a great rapport with Scott Caan, who plays Danny "Danno" Williams.
O'Connell can thank one particular castmate if 'The Defenders' hits big --Jim Belushi. Yes, John's younger brother will always be known as the star of the longest-running mediocre sitcom of all time, 'According to Jim.' But Belushi does have some dramatic acting under his belt, including a role in Oliver Stone's 'Salvador.' And, like O'Loughlin, O'Connell seems to have a connection with his co-star.
The other thing going for O'Connell is that 'The Defenders' is a procedural, and CBS is the king of procedurals, with nearly half of the schedule taken up by the likes of 'CSI,' 'NCIS' and 'Criminal Minds.' By mixing some lighter moments in with the drama, there's a potential that the series can be a winner.
While there are plenty of new shows premiering this fall, both 'The Defenders' and 'Hawaii Five-O' may get more attention due to the recent bad luck of their actors. This curiosity may spawn into genuine interest and, eventually, a following for these series that could possibly catapult O'Loughlin and O'Connell back into the good graces of fans and network executives alike.

Buffett and Taxes
- Posted by Jeff Carter
- on September 20th, 2011
Much is being made of Warren Buffett and the Obama "Buffett Tax" proposal. Buffett said he pays his taxes at a lower marginal rate than his secretary. Roughly half. His secretary supposedly pays 33%, and Warren pays close to 18%.
That means that Mr. Buffett's secretary makes at least $174,400, and no more than $379,150. I don't want to get bogged down in all that and if I were Buffett's secretary I suppose I would rather be paid in stock like Ray Kroc did for his. the secretary would be money ahead, and when they sold it they'd pay long term capital gains of 15%.
I think though now is a good time to have a philosophical debate about capital and taxes.
What is a tax after all? It's what we voluntarily pay the government. If a majority of us simply stopped paying taxes, or avoided most of them like they do in Europe, our government would go broke faster. But, Americans assume they have a legal contract with the government to "provide for the general welfare", so most of us don't mind paying some taxes. Truth be told, 47% of Americans paid no income tax last year except what was deducted from their paycheck. Many of them got that back when they filed a tax return. From the citizens perspective, a tax is an amount of income they are willing to part with to keep a civilized society.
On the other hand, what is government's perspective on taxes? REVENUE. Plain and simple. It's as folksy as I can put it since we are talking about a Buffett tax.
The government needs revenue to operate. Without it, it goes bankrupt and defaults.
Economically, no matter what, the nature of the firm or the nature of government is to try and expand. In the private sector a firm has incentive to expand because of profits. The governments incentive to expand isn't based on profit at all. It's based on power. The more it can expand, the more power it has. The more power government has, the less freedom individuals have. Government always will want more revenue.
There are better ways to give the government what it wants, more revenue, and give the people what they want, more freedom and less tax burden.
Unfortunately we have followed an economic path of trying to stimulate demand. Stimulating demand is stupid. It's a money loser. Instead, what you have to do is let private industry create supply. Then demand will be created to access that supply.
Let me give you and example. Suppose an individual owns a small business. They file taxes at the individual rate, because it's cheaper for them to operate their business as an individual rather than incorporate and file as a corporation. Today assume that the business files returns at 35%, same as the corporate rate.
What would the business do if the government eliminated all deductions and dropped the marginal rate to 15%?
What would happen to revenue? Changing the marginal rate will change the supply line for the small business. This will have an effect on demand, theoretically increasing it.
If you say that the company will pay less in taxes, you are incorrect. They will pay less in taxes based on their past performance. Even if you redid the accounting to reflect the changes, the company would still pay less. But, they were making business decisions based on the old tax law, not the new one. Change the tax laws you change the internal cost/benefit decisions that companies make. If they expand enough, they will wind up paying more dollars in taxes than they did previously, even though they do it at a lower rate. The key is they will be keeping more of their total income.
By lowering the marginal tax rate, companies will have incentive to expand. When they expand, they become more productive. More production equals higher revenues, and will more than make up for the drop in marginal rates.
At the same time that we lower rates, we need to trim the size of government. In the short run, the government will receive some windfall profits from lower marginal rates and from the economic boomlet that follows. However, that cannot go on forever.
The size and scope of government must be cut at the same time that marginal rates are cut. That means more freedom for the constituents, and returns government to its rightful place as simply a background manager of a civil society-not a behemoth that tries to force society where it wants society to go.
Raising rates is a disincentive to invest. Lowering rates is incentive to expand. It's as simple as that.

Cheats for Lemony Snicket: A Series Of Unfortunate Events
Health lockets
When climbing on the outside of Count Olaf's Tower, you usually go to the left to work your way up the tower. However, sometimes if you work your way to the right and peek around corners you might not normally look, you can find health lockets.
Levitating Loafers for Klaus
At Uncle Monty's house you will need to make a pair of Levitating Loafers for Klaus. You will find one of the invention pieces, a pair of boots, outside the shed, above the door, in Uncle Monty's garden. In order to climb up and get the boots, you will need to use the Brilliant Bopper (or the Fruit Flinger) to knock over the water cans that hang from the second floor windows. The spilled water will cause giant flowers to grow. You can then jump on these to get over to the roof and grab the boots.
Making the Fruitflinger
Go up to the West Hall. There is an enemy around the corner. With Klaus, go to the wall and wait, then hit her. Go to the cabinet and push it. Go in the secret room. On the way to the piano in the main room, there is fan. Take it. Then, go to the kitchen . Another enemy is there. He will throw three meatballs at you. After he throws them at you, run up to him and hit him. Repeat the process until you win.

Giants draw third-place sked for 2014
No matter what happens this Sunday vs the Redskins, the Giants will finish third in the NFC East. That means they will draw a third-place schedule for the 2014 season.
This year the Giants played a second-place schedule, drawing Seattle and Carolina in their at-large games. They were shut out in both.
The scheduled games so far for 2014 are the yearly home-and-home series vs their NFC East division rivals (Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington), plus games against the NFC West and AFC South. The Giants will play Arizona, San Francisco, Houston and Indianapolis at home and St. Louis, Seattle, Jacksonville and Tennessee away.
The two at-large games in the NFC are still to be determined. Depending on what happens this weekend, the NFC South game will be against either Tampa Bay or Atlanta. The NFC North game could be vs Chicago, Green Bay or Detroit.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Bangor police say they're trying to determine what sparked an altercation Monday evening that led to one man being stabbed.
The incident happened at an apartment building on Pine Street in Bangor. Police say they were called to the scene around 5 p.m. Monday after hearing reports of a dispute. When responders arrived they say they found one man with a stab wound to the abdomen. He was rushed to Eastern Maine Medical Center for treatment.
At this point police say they haven't made any arrests in the case but investigators say they have a narrow list of suspects and don't believe the attack was random.
"Like I said we're in the process of talking to everybody involved and any witnesses we've found and we're kind of placing it all together right now.," said Bangor police sargaent Paul Kenison.
Police say at this point say they're not sure of the man's condition. Authorities are also not releasing his name. The investigation into what happened is on going.
