Never.. You have to aim above the water to avoid splashing, and below the rim(seat) to avoid making a spill. You can also use other techniques that require a specific speed of launch and a specific angle in which to shoot; those however require great concentration and a tremendous amount of experience. If you train hard then there is no reason for making a mess.
Guys guys guys, I work in health care I see this all the time. It has nothing to do with the length, it has nothing to do with the aim. it has everything to do with the pressure the urine comes out at. For those older men with enlarged prostates that narrow the urethra the urine dribbles out, it is impossible to aim a dribble. It is like having a kink in the garden hose.

So for many men, about 50%, this starts at age 30, by age 80, 75% will have enlarge prostates and dribble. That will happen regardless of the length or the aim.
I sit when I pee anyway, that's just my preference, it's more relaxing and femme :-)
Unless It is dark and I don't want to switch on the light I don't have a problem hitting the mark. When I am drunk I just **** outside......so no problem there either.
Someone needs a longer hose.
Not if you aim correctly
i do

but im being realistic
Haha no im really good marksman. :}
no I'm good

Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
14 Jul 2008 13:43 GMT
Officials were keen to play down the fact Taliban fighters had breached the barriers of the Isaf base in Kunar province.
But the attack inflicted the worst losses US forces have suffered in Afghanistan in three years.
Four Afghan soldiers were also killed in the attack.
Between 400 and 500 fighters from various anti-government factions including Taliban, al-Qaeda and the Hezb-i-Islami faction were involved, a senior Afghan defence ministry official said on condition of anonymity.
Taliban 'strength'
Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, cited the attack as evidence that the group, which was forced from power in Afghanistan by the US invasion in 2001, was growing stronger.
"The fighting in Afghanistan is getting heavier. When the Americans drop bombs on civilians ordinary people want revenge - that's why they are joining the Taliban, strengthening us," he told Al Jazeera.
"Now, instead of firing at the bases from far away, the Taliban has the ability to enter the bases and kill Americans."
James Bays, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Kabul, said: "The information we have is that this is a new base set that was set up by American forces ... and because it was a new base, possibly it wasn't as well fortified.
"We understand the Taliban started firing from the mountains, but it seems that this firing was a distraction and we are told by government sources that Taliban fighters managed to get very close to the base and then staged a surprise attack.
"Over 100 Taliban fighters attacked the base - some of them got on to the base for a time."
Daring attack
Nato's Laity told Al Jazeera the Taliban had taken over a village close to the base in order to carry out the attack.
"What they [the Taliban] did was they moved into an adjacent village - which was close to the combat outpost - they basically expelled the villagers and used their houses to attack us," he said.
He said the attackers had failed in their goal to overrun the outpost which the Isaf soldiers had only recently occupied.
After the Isaf troops repulsed the Taliban fighters, an air raid was called.
An Afghan official confirmed the air raid and said there might also have been civilian casualties.
Meanwhile, in the southern province of Helmand, a roadside blast killed six Afghan private security guards escorting a supply convoy for Nato-led troops, an official said.
Mohammad Hussein Andiwal, the provincial police chief, said two other guards were wounded in the attack, which took place in Gereshk district.
Kidnapping claimed
In other news, the Taliban claimed responsibility on Monday for the abduction of an Afghan senator who was snatched at a gunpoint 70km from Kabul.
Abdul Wali, a member of the Upper House of the parliament from the province of Logar adjoining Kabul, was kidnapped on Sunday as he was driving with his two guards and driver, police said.
"Taliban have abducted Dr Abdul Wali and until now Taliban's leading council have not made any decision on his fate," Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, told the AFP news agency.

At least 24 people including four policemen killed in southern province of Uruzgan.
Senior diplomat says foreign troops will not carry out operations in Pakistan.

great post darkcloud, loved it. i offer no predictions, but right you are, HNU is no ETF, none of them are, they trade on fear, greed, emotion and more. heck, one can't even get up to go for a pee anymore with coming back to a surprise. whatever direction kids, know your own tolerance level. hey, if we see $10 - $12 on HNU that would be great, but in light of our newest friend in 2011 Mr. Frack I would not be going out to buy the farm based upon $ 10 - $12, regardless, I hope you are correct Dark. We will not see $6.26. We have seen the bottom; today.

Indiana coach Tom Crean had some ups and downs with a young team this past season, but he's optimistic about the future.
- Filed Under
Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean spent 30 minutes with Indianapolis Star IU beat reporter Zach Osterman on Thursday evening discussing the Hoosiers' season. Crean detailed some of his frustrations from 2013-14 and what he expects for next year:
Question: When you look back at this season, what were the frustrations for you? What were some things you felt were underappreciated?
Answer: We got better, but we never got consistent, and I think that's maybe an answer to both those questions. There's no question guys got better. We can go right on down the line, whether you're looking at the ...

The next Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer will be named the USS Thomas Hudner, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said Monday.
Retired Capt. Thomas J. Hudner Jr. of Concord — a native of Fall River and a naval aviator — earned the Medal of Honor from President Harry S. Truman on Dec. 4, 1950, for displaying uncommon valor during an attack on his wingman, the first African-American naval aviator to fly in combat, Ensign Jesse L. Brown.
In a phone interview on Tuesday afternoon, Hudner said it was quite a surprise when Mabus called to tell him a Navy ship would be named in his honor.
"I'm very flattered and humbled," Hudner said. "I knew something like this was in the works, but I didn't think it would happen. I'm just very pleased about the whole thing."
During the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War, anti-aircraft fire hit Brown's plane, damaging a fuel line and causing him to crash. After it became clear Brown was seriously injured and unable to free himself, Hudner crashed his own aircraft to help his wingman.
Hudner injured his own back during his crash landing, but he stayed with Brown until a rescue helicopter arrived. Hudner and the rescue pilot worked in the sub-zero, snow-laden area in an unsuccessful attempt to free Brown from the smoking wreckage.
Hudner, who is the last living Navy recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Korean War, was also named Concord's Honored Citizen in 2010 and assumed the role of parade marshal in previous Patriots Day parades in Concord.
When describing Hudner, Concord Veterans Agent Dick Krug said he is the "epitome of a hero."
"He's the epitome of a gentleman, too," Krug said. "People stop breathing and stop talking when Tom talks because his stories are so interesting. He's such a unique man.
He's a hero. I'm glad this is being done for him."
After receiving recognition for his heroism, Hudner completed an additional 22 years of Navy service. He flew 27 combat missions in the Korean War and served as the executive officer aboard the USS Kitty Hawk during the Vietnam War.
"Thomas Hudner exemplifies the core values of honor, courage and commitment the Navy holds dear," said Mabus in a prepared statement. "Naming the Navy's next DDG for him will ensure his legacy will be known, honored and emulated by future generations of sailors and Marines who serve and all who come in contact with this ship."
"Mr. Hudner's unrivaled heroism on the battlefield and his continued service to his country and comrades makes him a highly deserving recipient of this honor," U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas said in a statement. "I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hudner during a memorial service in Lowell marking the 60th anniversary of the Korean War. Residents of the commonwealth will also be forever grateful for his service on behalf of Massachusetts veterans and their families following his remarkable career in the Navy."
Page 2 of 2 - The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer will be capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously and will contain myriad offensive and defensive weapons designed to support maritime warfare.
Hudner said he feels honored to be recognized for his service and hopes he can be a good example for all Americans.
"I feel strongly that all our servicemen and -women have done tremendous things that are often not recognized to the public," Hudner said. "They sacrificed for our freedom we got here in Concord so many years ago. We live in the greatest country in the world, and people don't often appreciate that. We are very lucky to be Americans."
Four years ago, a monument in Concord Center was constructed to recognize Hudner and his achievements. Krug, who works to recognize veterans, said he can't help but appreciate Hudner.
"Although he's a quiet man, he's a dynamic man," Krug said. "Every time I see him I wrap my arms around him and tell him he's still my hero. That always gets a grin on his face. He's such a neat, neat guy."

Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is employing a wide range of WordPress capabilities to revolutionize the admissions process.

Beyond student engagement, the community also provides a launch pad to the admission process. Candidates can plug into a powerful application platform directly integrated with MSOE's admissions system.

Easier to breathe.
Finally, we can exhale.
We knew we'd be there. But would others?
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time," Obama said frequently over the many months. "We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
But for that to happen he'd have to be perfect.
Not us. Him.
He couldn't show anger.
Be too up. Too down.
He'd need to show extraordinary restraint; his organization, uncommon discipline.
He'd have to be confident but not arrogant, commanding but not conceited, certain but not smug.
He couldn't look bullied or intimidated.
Under no circumstance could he permit a swiftboating.
"We need to internalize this idea of excellence," he'd say frequently, perhaps giving us a glimpse at one of the internal dialogues that kept him going.
He'd have to be smarter than all the others too.

Basically, I'm wondering if the concepts learned in a non-calc based physics class are actually usable or just something they teach you in high school that is completely "dismissed" once a calc-based physics class is taken. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Solar!- Hanna Riepl
Throughout my career at Western State Colorado University, I have steadily become enthralled with solar power and how it is used. A couple of weeks back, Murtaza and I had the pleasure of assisting a group of elementary school students with the construction of solar toy cars. It was interesting to discover how much information the students knew about solar energy and the process of electric conversion through photo voltaics. This week I had the opportunity to experiment with a solar oven. Needless to say, my cookies turned out to be delicious!

Scientists report that someday soon, celiac patients might not need to go down the special "gluten-free" aisle of the grocery store anymore. They are making progress toward a pill that could allow celiac patients to eat pastries, breads, cereals and other foods that contain the protein called gluten. (Kind of like the lactase pills that lactose-intolerant people can take so they can eat dairy products.)
About 2 million – 3 million Americans have celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder in which gluten causes inflammation in the digestive tract. Gluten is in wheat, rye and barley products. The only treatment right now is going on a gluten-free diet, which means staying away from cereals, soups, cookies and breads that contain the protein.
Fortunately, many companies are making products, such as specialty breads, muffins, cookies and cakes that are gluten-free. And some companies are reminding consumers that not all cereals and bakery products contain gluten anyway — rice-, corn- and potato-based foods are still OK to eat.
Gluten-free products have gotten notoriety lately because several celebrities, such as Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga, have dropped gluten from their diets in order to lose weight. However, giving up gluten won't necessarily cause the pounds to melt away. In fact, some people say that they've gained weight on a gluten-free diet. That's probably because many of these products have a lot more sugar or fat than their gluten-containing counterparts to make up for the missing protein and to make it taste better.
In a recent issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, a team of scientists describe their discovery of a naturally occurring enzyme that seemed like it would be able to break down gluten into such small pieces so that it wouldn't cause problems for those with celiac disease. They changed some parts of the enzyme in the laboratory so that it would actually meet all the necessary criteria to allow patients to eat regular bakery items.
The new enzyme (called KumaMax) broke down more than 95 percent of a gluten peptide implicated in celiac disease in acidic conditions like those in the stomach. "These combined properties make the engineered [enzyme] a promising candidate as an oral therapeutic for celiac disease," say the researchers.

Both (dichromates and DAS) have their issues. I believe the clearing bath for DAS is more toxic than that of the dichromates.
But as far as the dichromates, either will do, but I use the Ammonium dichromate(AD) -- which is stronger acting gram-to-gram compared to Potassium dichromate(PD). That is because Ammonium is lighter than Potassium...thus at the same weight of the two compounds, one gets more dichromate using, let's say, one gram of AD than one gram of PD. But once corrected for the difference, they act pretty much t he same.

Walker MBS Help
Hello to walker owners I wanted to purchase a new walker MBS 29 hp EFI with a 60' or 74' my dealer has good service better than grasshopper I would just like to hear from someone who has this style mower and what they would recommend pro's and co's on this particular mower thanks
Hey there, your thread caught my eye.... I do not own the super bee (yet) haha..... but I do currently have a brand new 26 EFI GHS however. I have also been operating Walkers for the last decade and I can honestly tell you that Walker is an amazing company. Not only from the standpoint of their products but also how the company operates and what they believe in. I have extensively researched the MBS and I even though I do not own one (again, ...Yet,) Maybe I can still help you out. What type of mowing are you going to be doing with it? Were you aware that the 74 needs a special adapter? As much as I love Walker, you most certainly get what you pay for... which is a lot! haha.. Not sure if that adapter is more $$$....
I don't know walker is coming out to my house to do a demo this week sometime when it stops raining I will be mowing super thick heavy tall fescue blends I am worried about the motor over heating since its air cooled I don't know
As for this style of mower a would take it hands down over a mid-mount. They are very nimble, great on hills, and good for trimming under low branches and such. Also they are easy to maintain. Just flip the deck up to get to the blades. Raise the body up and everything else is there to get to easily. This style of mower performs so well that we bought 3 of the smaller MB's for our smaller properties. I think Walker is really on to something with these mowers.
I could go on for days with the pro's but I have only a few cons. First con is the $$$. They are pricey but you get what you pay for... Second con would be part's availability but it sounds like you have a good dealer so this shouldn't be a problem for you. We use to have a good dealer but when he stopped selling them it kind of left us out in the cold. I have to order everything now from a distributor which adds a few days to the down time. The next con would be that the MBS will take up a little more reality on your trailer than a mid-mount. Not a big deal but something to consider.
I did have a few issues with the first MBS but everything was taken care of through Walker. It was one of the original units to be produced and as with any new model it takes a while to get the bugs out. Sure enough Walker stood behind their product and took care of all the issues. The newer MBSY (a first production diesel unit) only had one issue and Dean Walker personally made sure that I got a fix for the issue. All part of the development process but still I believe that you will only get this level of attention from a company like Walker. They are always a step ahead with updates and testing to make sure their machines are top notch.

Joe do you have any pictures of the 52" cut quality? More so on thick/wet yards. I'm still knocking the mbs around in my head and I'm just worried about the 52" being able to process thick grass in one pass.
Posted via Mobile Device
Joemower how many hours does your walker have on it the gas powered one and how hard is it to get used to the steering controls and do you like that are they really that easy to operate thanks sir
As far as the steering goes I've been using Walker for 20 some years now so for me no time at all. Most of my new guys will pick it up pretty fast. Usually they can run the machine fairly well within 20 minutes or so but it may take a few days to get to the point where they are fluent with it. It also depends on the person you are trying to teach. It's always harder to teach a person who originally learned on a mid-mount than it is to teach someone with no experience at all... I really like the Walker steering over a traditional mid-mount. It takes less effort and is more stable over rough terrain.
Thanks alot joe Your very helpful i have ran the old school John Deere F935 front 72" mowers desiel for my family's property for years and always having trouble with them many people say when we buy a walker it will be night and day difference . Another thing if the John Deere is 72"inch deck and the walker is 60" should I get the walker in 74" or it's not that big of a difference I know the 60"inch has to cut better higher RPMS so no double mowing all the time right? Thanks sir

Sorry to hijack tdl but I just have a quickie for joemower... Joe buddy, huge fan of your threads and posts... I have always wondered what type of length you can get away with cutting and have it still look good... What are you using these for mostly? Commercials? With the MB on the residentials? Do you use the Super's on residentials?

Good bye Klein's Deli
11.30.06 - 12:17 pm | Tim Redmond |
By Tim Redmond
I've been buying turkey sandwiches at Klein's Deli on Potrero Hill for more than 20 years. Back in the early 1980s, when the Guardian was in an old building on 19th and York, and the old Best Foods factory was still spewing fumes or mayonnaise wind over the neighborhood and there weren't many places around to get food, we used to pile into somebody's car and drive to 20th and Connecticut, where a former Guardian distribution manager named Deborah Klein was making great sandwiches. Then our part of the Mission started booming, and you didn't need to drive to get lunch, and my Klein's habit faded.
By the time the Guardian moved to Potrero Hill, Deborah had sold out to one of her employees, Avery McGinn, but the place was just the same, and at least two or three times a week, I make the trek to the top of the hill. It's one of those places that's been around so long you just sort of assume it will always be there.
But it won't. Next week is the last week for Klein's Deli. The landlord, Timberly Hughes, wanted to double the rent, from $3,100 to $6,255 a month, and McGinn told me she just can't pay that, not without raising her prices so much that none of us would be going there anymore. "She has the right to do that," McGinn, who has been remarkably diplomatic about all of this, told me. "I twisted and turned, but it just was too much for my deli to pay." She hasn't been able to find another spot on the hill, so for now, it's over.
I called Hughes, who seems like a pleasant enough person, and she told me that the higher rent was what she needed to get, and since Klein's won't be there any more, she's going to open an "organic wine bar and deli" that will be called Jay's, after her son. She has lived on the hill for nine years – she actually occupied the apartment above the deli – and she promised to try to keep the spot as a neighborhood gathering area.
Maybe she will, and maybe the wine bar will be lovely, but it won't be Klein's Deli. And while McGinn is taking the high road, not everybody is being so nice. Some of the folks on the Potrero Hill Message Board are calling for a boycott of the new place. "Bad, bad, bad to destroy a neighborhood institution so you can have your vanity business," one post says.
I dunno. Commercial landlords can raise the rent as much as they can get away with, and the California Leglislature has barred cities from enacting commercial rent controls (which, of course, would have saved Klein's). And Hughes is not in the business of charity. But she made a choice to raise the rent to a level that a locally owned business couldn't afford, and she's going to have to live with that.
Klein's is having a party Dec. 16th, from noon to 4 pm. There will be a photo booth in the place Dec. 2, from 10 am – 3 pm so locals and regulars can get their pictures taken before the doors close.
Meanwhile, you've got another week to go get a sandwich at a great San Francisco establishment. Enjoy it while you can.

Your initial feedback on Gmail's new look
Category: Gmail | Jul 25, 2011
Posted by Mark Striebeck, Engineering Manager
A few weeks ago, we released a preview of Gmail's new look via two new themes. We asked you to try them out and send us your feedback. So far, less than 5% of Gmail usage is happening through these themes, but we're getting some good feedback on what's working and useful advice about what to improve from you early adopters.
What you like
- The clean and minimalist look of the new design
- Seeing a consistent "look" across Google products
"The new Preview theme is wonderful! It's clean and crisp, easy to read and really focused on the one thing that matters most in Gmail — the mail! Thanks!"
What you want to change
- Too much whitespace and not enough information (though interestingly, many people reported that they appreciated to lower information density after a while)
- Not enough contrast
- Darker theme options
"Even with the 'dense' version, I still have listings of about 30% fewer messages. The lack of visual differentiation between content and UI chrome is also harder to process (e.g., where does the conversation list end and the toolbar begin)."
We're working on improvements for the final release, but it is very encouraging that a visual update like this was generally greeted with such a positive response. If you haven't tried out the new themes yet, give them a go and tell us what you think.

Could someone create another comedy-based teen movie? I don't think there are enough with the five gazillion already packing the shelves of your local video store. Don't be mistaken, Eurotrip will soon be there too with its predictable characters, cliche premiseand unrealistic adventures.
Scott Mechlowicz plays Scott Thomas, the predictable guy breaking out of his shell. Joined with him is his bestfriend Cooper Harris (the goofy guy) played by Jacob Pitts. Scott and Cooper go to Europe after highschool graduation in search of what else but a girl. Not just any girl though, Scott's computerbased Berlin pen pal Mieke (Meeka) played by Jessica Boehrs.
Along for the trip are, as Cooper dubs them, "the worst twins ever" Jenny and Jaime, played by Michele Trachtenberg and Travis Wester respectively. On the journey through Europe the best friends meet up with the twins for some antics -- too bad most of them weren't amusing.
One unpleasant element of this flick is all the cliches packed into this short hour and a half film. The obvious are finding true love, drinking too much and of course your standard -- nudity.
Along with the cliches the story was full of unrealistic adventures. Graduation brings cards stuffed with cash, but not enough to fly to Europe, especially last minute, and who has a passport lying around anyway? With the plot stretching over the cataclysmic holes of the story, it's any wonder why this movie flows at all.
The movie is served a helping hand by Scott's little brother, a smart-ass fat kid. With quick wit and the "tasteful" use of profanity, he gave the audience and myself a real reason to laugh.
Another distraction -- just so we don't notice the gaping plot holes -- is the Green Fairy. He reminds me of the humorous little brother. Funny that he is a dead ringer for the Flintstone's Gazoo, but who thinks anything in a teen movie is original?
Eurotrip as a teen movie didn't fare too bad, but if you're in the mood to take a trip, wait until it hits the video store. You will feel better that you did; I know I would have.

Picture: Jennifer Aniston leaving the 'Good Morning America' studios in Midtown. New York City, USA - 10.02.11
Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 42nd birthday with a low-key meal at 'The Spotted Pig' restaurant in New York's West Village.
JENNIFER ANISTON, the American actress currently starring in the comedy flick 'Just Go With It', celebrated turning 42-years-old by dining with Hugh Jackman and Adam Sandler, reports People Magazine.Before heading off on a planned vacation with friends, Aniston dined at the acclaimed 'Spotted Pig' restaurant and was "in an extremely good mood", said a source. The eye witness also claimed that the actress had "the full kitchen at her disposal" and that the party dined on the 'private' third floor. In a recent interview with the magazine, the FRIENDS star revealed that she would celebrate her birthday by going on a 'getaway', much like her trip to 'Los Cabos' last year. When asked about her holiday schedule, Aniston said, "Get up, have breakfast, have a workout, do something great outside. Yeah, I know, it's annoying. But that way you feel great".
Aniston and Sandler finished top of the box-office after the Valentines weekend, with new movie 'Just Go With It' taking $31 million. Justin Bieber's concert documentary 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' came a close second, taking $30.3 million.

The Economist: Cheap Gas
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.
Dr. M. Ray Perryman
December 17, 2012
1,229 views
4 comments
I do a lot of speaking throughout the year, and for the past several weeks, I've been in the midst of my annual Economic Outlook Conference series (the 29th annual, by the way). One question I've heard a lot in the Q-and-A following the events involves the relatively large difference between oil prices and natural gas prices. In other words, "why is gas so cheap?"
Based on the energy content in each fuel, a barrel of oil is equal to about 7 to 8 thousand cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas. So $3/mcf natural gas should correspond to an oil price of about $24 per barrel. Or $80/barrel oil should go with $10/mcf natural gas. However, what we have now is $3/mcf gas...and $80/barrel oil (in round numbers).
The primary reason for this disconnect is that oil is a global market, but natural gas is a national one. There has been some importing of natural gas and, more recently, moves to export it in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, the primary determinants of natural gas prices are the supply and demand in the United States alone.
The sluggish economy has worked to reduce demand for natural gas. At the same time, enhanced recovery methods and massive shale discoveries and production have led to enormous growth in the available supply. As a result, we are now in a position where we have more natural gas available than we need. As predicted by economic principles, the price has fallen.
If oil and natural gas were perfect substitutes, you'd see people in the United States switching from using oil to using more natural gas to take advantage of the potential savings (which would then eliminate the excess supply over time).
However, it takes time to switch fuels. For example, natural gas-fueled vehicles have been around for decades, but aren't generally available at your local dealership. The desirable environmental properties of such cars and trucks have earned them a place in both public and private fleets, but it's a little more difficult for the average household to make that change. Think about how many gasoline pumps you pass every day compared with natural gas fueling stations.
The global nature of the oil market ties its price not only to what is going on in America, but also elsewhere. With rising demand in a number of emerging economies, the overall need for oil as a fuel remains high, keeping prices elevated. Many countries could use natural gas, but our ability to export it is only now developing.
Oil prices are also supported by fears that tense situations in various oil-producing regions could escalate and lead to a supply shock. In effect, there is a "risk premium" being priced in, and any sign that political situations in the Middle East, Venezuela, and other locales is changing for the worse could cause prices to jump.
The national nature of the natural gas market also tends to make it more volatile. In August 2005, the price stood at $6.48 per mcf. It jumped to $10.33 only two months later, a rise of almost 60% in just two months. A few months later, it was back down. In July 2008, just before the national downturn took hold with a vengeance, the price peaked at $10.79. Less than a year later, it was $3.18. A severe winter storm can cause prices to jump, a bit of a glut and they crash. As an export market develops, these swings will tend to moderate, which is good news for both producers and consumers.
Over time, the natural gas market is likely to become more global, with the United States becoming a net exporter within a decade (according to some market watchers). This evolution will diminish the gap between oil prices and natural gas prices. Until then, enjoy the cheap gas while you can!

). He also serves as Institute Distinguished Professor of Economic Theory and Method at the International Institute for Advanced Studies.

Prairie the price of gas on the day obama took office was a blip, from 2005 gas had gyrated to over $4 at times. I remember selling a truck in 2007 because i got sick of the gas mileage.

UPS ports iOS tracking, scheduling app to iPad
updated 06:05 pm EDT, Thu May 16, 2013
App long stuck as iPhone-only
Shipping service UPS has launched a native iPad version of its iOS app. An iPhone app has been available for some time, but has never been updated to be universal. Both titles let people track up to five shipments simultaneously, which are displayed on a map.
Via GPS the app can be used to find nearby UPS offices. Some other features, meanwhile, require signing into a My Choice account. This lets people sync tracking with the UPS website, nickname shipments, and take some actions with incoming packages, such as rerouting or rescheduling. The app supports any iPad running iOS 5 or later.

I get cranky when our modern society expects me at nearly 84 years young to function as I did in the '70s as Super Mom, going to school and raising four teenagers all while my hubby was exercising his breadwinner skills in, of all places, Hawaii.
I forgive everyone who thinks old folks have it so good today. As a legitimate performer in this era of independent living, I strongly profess this - it takes guts to grow old!
In my estimation, it requires more self-tolerance than one exerts when enduring the plague of puberty.
Old folks find the ravages of time annoying. I go to my mirror and look at that. I'm not one to cast aspersions on an oldie, but I ask, "Lady, haven't you ever heard of plastic surgery or Botox?"
The there's what the working poor must contend with in this process called "living the American Dream." In my progression of finishing off my term of that piece of fiction, I evaluate the pros and cons of "What's the use" against "Who promised you a rose garden" anyway?
About then, I'm drawn to the tube to watch a modern vibe versus the passé. The comparison leads me to believe the angst I'm feeling will fulfill another old movie adage -"Tomorrow is Another Day."

Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.

I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
making lists, math, navigating, grammar and drinking wine

If the winds begin to push the oil slick to the east, Florida's panhandle could be devastated.
When it's cold outside, as it is for much of the year in the Idaho panhandle, inside accommodations are warm and cozy.
One represents an urban district in Chicago, the other the panhandle of Idaho.
Southern Florida is mostly democrat, the north and panhandle mostly Republican.
Last year panhandle ranchers Phillip and Doris Smith suffered through the worst one-year drought in Texas history.
The raids of the Comanches into the panhandle country during the buffalo days was a favorite topic.
Somehow the sobriquet had clung to him even after his return to the panhandle.
I am confident that this was the first orchard ever planted in Hutchinson county, perhaps in the northern panhandle.
Yet it would be easy to overstate the lawlessness of the panhandle.
"Just step in and tell panhandle I want to see him," and Sneed indicated one of his riders.
"something resembling the handle of a pan," 1851, from pan (n.) + handle (n.). Especially in reference to geography, originally American English, from 1856, in reference to Virginia (now West Virginia; Florida, Texas, Idaho, Oklahoma, and Alaska also have them). Meaning "an act of begging" is attested from 1849, perhaps from notion of arm stuck out like a panhandle, or of one who handles a (beggar's) pan.
"to beg," 1888, from panhandle (n.) in the begging sense. Related: Panhandled; panhandling.
To beg, esp by accosting people on the street: The boys deal drugs or panhandle, even become male prostitutes
[1903+; fr panhandler]

In This Issue: Alternative Dispute Resolution: A Business (and) Communication Strategy. (Business Practices)
Netzley, Michael, Business Communication Quarterly
LITIGATION COSTS in America's legal system are estimated to start at $100 billion annually with some estimates exceeding $300 billion. These estimates capture direct costs such as legal fees, jury awards, copying and organization costs, and expert witness fees. Indirect costs, which can be difficult to measure, such as being distracted from day-to-day management responsibilities or damage to corporate reputation, will substantially increase the total costs of conflict. In response, many corporations have turned to alternative forms of dispute resolution (ADR) in hopes of containing legal costs. The results have been mixed. When participants effectively and fairly truncate the dispute process, ADR can have a very positive impact on business practices and relations. ADR processes that become long and drawn out like formal litigation, however, can cost just as much as a trial and leave everyone feeling dissatisfied. It would appear that ADR might be most effective when a truncated process outside of a courtroom offers decreased direct and indirect costs.
Currently, ADR does not have a strong foothold in business schools. ADR is a scholarly and practical topic that ABC members can embrace, research, and easily teach. The topic is particularly relevant because effective ADR, including arbitration and mediation, requires effective communication skills. Many of these skills such as listening, managing the meeting process, identifying motives in spoken messages, managing and reading nonverbal signals, and seeking common ground we already teach. To state this point another way, ADR can serve as a vehicle for teaching communication theory and practices while also enriching students' management education experiences.
ADR can be advantageous to ABC members in several other ways. First, it may be one of a few remaining topics relevant to business that has not been eagerly embraced by our colleagues. Thus, there are opportunities for ABC members to become the ADR experts in their institutions. ADR expertise can provide the foundation for building working relationships with the business community, an opportunity for conducting and publishing management research, and a source for establishing research relationships with business and law school colleagues.
Finally, ADR is a topic that students can take with them after graduation and apply on the job. Whether it is mediating a dispute between two colleagues or preserving an important customer or supply-chain relationship, ADR offers our graduates strategies for resolving serious disagreements while minimizing legal fees, court proceedings, and costs.
Interview with Experts on ADR
To develop an understanding of ADR and its potential as a topic for business communication practice and research, we interviewed two attorneys with expertise in this field.
Michael Landrum, J.D., is a founding partner of Burk & Landrum, a labor and employment law practice representing management. He also serves as the Director of Americord, a conflict management consulting firm providing mediation, arbitration, and system design services. Previously, Landrum was a professor of law at the William Mitchell Law School in Minnesota. Landrum earned his J.D. from the University of Missouri-Columbia and has practiced law and ADR for 25 years. Landrum currently serves on the State of Minnesota's ADR Review Board and is listed in the National Association of Securities Dealers' Roster of Mediators.
Cynthia Waters, J.D., is an attorney, mediator, and the Program Manager for the Ramsey County District Court Cooperation (Minnesota) for the Children Program, a pilot program offering non-adversarial methods for resolving custody and parenting-time disputes on a sliding fee basis. Waters has served as an adjunct professor of ADR and mediation advocacy at Hamline University School of Law. She practiced family law as co-founder and staff attorney for Limited Income Legal Assistance, a nonprofit legal corporation that provided legal services to persons who were legal-aid eligible or were among the "working poor. …
