The year is 2013. The days of multicourse meals and etiquette classes have long passed, and the dining room is reserved solely for holidays and visits from grandparents. The point? No one blames you for using the wrong bread plate by mistake.
With that said, our illiteracy to traditional dining makes special occasions all the more special. This holiday? Make place cards, fold napkins, and adhere to the old-world ways of setting the table. Here, an easy guide to keep in mind.
Hint: Remember that the placement of almost everything – including flatware and glasses – should match the order of the courses. For instance, if you're serving salad first, place the salad fork to the left of the dinner fork, and vice versa.
Our Stock the Flatware Drawer: From Formal to Casual Boutique opens Friday, November 1, at 11AM ET.

A woman has been arrested for setting fire to the home she lived in.
Mary Walker of Blounts Creek has been charged with second degree arson.
Beaufort County deputies say last March the home on Main Street Extension in Edward caught fire. Volunteers put out the fire, but 10 minutes later were called back to the house again. Deputies were notified because of the suspicious nature of the fire starting back up.
The 30-year-old woman was served with the arson warrant while in jail on unrelated charges. Her bond was set at $20,000.

If you really want to know if Suffolk is right for you, nothing beats a campus visit. Tour the dorms, taste the food, meet the professors and coaches, and get a feel for what life is like here.
Tour and Visit Options
Schedule an Interview
A personal interview is not required for undergraduate admission, but it's a great way for us to meet each other.
An interview lets our admission staff put a face to your name. It allows you to introduce yourself and get all of your questions answered. Many students plan a campus tour the same day as the interview.
Weekend interviews and tours are available on most Saturdays when the University is in session.
If you are a prospective graduate student, you're welcome to set up a time to meet one of our counselors from the Office of Graduate Admission. Like undergraduate admission, a personal interview is not required but it's one of the many ways you can have some of your questions answered about the graduate admission process.
Attend a Class
What's a college class really like? Find out for yourself. Attend a Suffolk undergraduate class with a current student as your guide.

Talk:Uchiha Clan
Back to page
this wiki
Should something be added to trivia about the eye trenches? Seeing as Madara, Izuna and even their father had them? And it's not just their family who has them. Itachi also has these same trenches, and a few other Uchiha have been shown to have them. Just thought it may be trivia worthy? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 10:05, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
Could you define and elaborate on "eye trenches"? --126.96.36.199 (talk) 11:28, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
The deep lines that are under their eyes? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 12:25, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
Going through the pics of those you mentioned, only Itachi and Tajima seemed to have had them. Even going through the rest of the named Uchiha, it is those two who seem to have the lines in almost every known occassion. Setsuna Uchiha is the only other one who could have them, based on the only pics I could find of him. The times some of the other characters seem to have details under the eyes appear to be simply artistic decisions to make the character have depth and the face look less flat in certain angles, expressions, etc. But either way, I do not believe there is any evidence to support such an addition to the trivia. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 14:20, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Relatives usually have similar features. It's not really necessary to genetic things like that. If it were a case where there painted them on (like the Akimichi) or chose to wear their hair in a certain style like the (Nara) then yes. But we don't mention that all Yamanaka are blond(e) well Fū's hair was auburn, but you get what I mean.--Cerez365™(talk)
Why can't we add the EMS or Rinnegan to it? Is it because the Rinnegan existed before the Uchiha clan came along in the Sage of the Six Paths? Also I think we should defintely add EMS because it is exclusive to the Uchiha clan just like the regular MS. Banan14kab 02:28, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
- EMS is not a natural progression of the eye nor is the Rinnegan. Hence they are not dōjutsu of the clan.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:55, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
What Cerez says, if we added Rinnegan as Uchiha KKG then we would also have to add Wood Release too because Senju stuff is required to unlock it and Obito/Madara have it for example--Elveonora (talk) 13:00, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
Though it's not a natural progression, if i'm not mistaken, to unlock EMS it is required to integrate a pair of Sharingan with your own. Which still means it is exclusive to the Uchiha. --Questionaredude (talk) 03:52, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
I agree with Questionaredude. EMS should be included. It's not a natural progression, but a modification of the MS which is still from the clan. Banan14kab 06:18, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
- However, should Kakashi get his hands on another Mangekyō Sharingan and integrate it into his own, he'd be able to acquire the EMS- that's what I mean by it's not a natural progression. Anybody could do it. Maybe if the eye had more of a distinction then it could be considered separate and apart from the MS, but the EMS is just an MS you can't go blind using.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:04, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
EMS isn't level 3 of Sharingan, it's a cheat, godmode on if you will ;D--Elveonora (talk) 17:50, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
- I believe during the series Itachi mentioned that in order to obtain the EMS it is necessary a MS compatible with the owners MS. Until now, i believed that when talking about "compatible" he wanted to say that it has to be a direct bloodline (Brother, Father, etc.) and it has to be both eyes and not just one. Am i worng here?.

Changes in Scottish criminal law re serious crime and confiscation
Members of this group may be interested in some changes to Scottish law recently.
With effect from 13 December 2010 sections 28 to 31 Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, an Act of the Scottish Parliament, came into force. These sections deal with "serious organised crime" in Scotland.
Briefly "serious organised crime" means crime involving two or more persons acting together for the principal purpose of committing or conspiring to commit an indictable offence committed with the intention of obtaining a material benefit for any person. A "material benefit" means in effect obtaining an asset of some description. (The word "material" is not here being used in the sense in which accountants use it - i.e. significant - it is used more in the sense of 'something which exists'. There is no de minimis limit on the value or amount of the benefit.)
So it seems to me that two people engaged together on burgling a house or stealing a car or picking the pockets of passers-by would be examples of "serious organised crime".
Section 31 creates the offence of "failure to report serious organised crime". This lays an obligation on "a person who knows or suspects that another person" has (in effect) committed a serious organised crime to report it to the police.
This obligation to report (unlike the obligation under s330 PoCA 2002 / MLR 2007) is not restricted to persons in the 'regulated sector'. Instead it applies in two circumstances.
The first is that the information on which the knowledge or suspicion is based came to the person "in the course of the person's trade, profession, business or employment". (There is an exception in relation to professional legal advisers and legal professional privilege - but there is no exception for other professionals, such as accountants.)
The second circumstance relates to the situation in which the knowledge or suspicion is based on information which came to the person "as a result of a close personal relationship between the person and the other person". So here we are dealing with reporting by, say, a spouse / domestic partner or family member of the suspected offender. However in this case the new law only obliges a report where the informer "has obtained a material benefit as a result of the commission of serious organised crime by the other person".
The failure to report offence carries a maximum punishment of 5 years imprisonment.
One can envisage spouses / domestic partners being 'reminded' of the risk of them going to prison in the course of police interviews centred on suspected offences by their 'other half'. That could lead to some interesting cases in future!
As far as I am aware there is no comparable legislation in England & Wales.
A change to confiscation law is due to come into effect in the near future in Scotland in relation to confiscation and 'criminal lifestyle'. This is an attempt to toughen the confiscation regime in Scotland by widening the scope of the 'criminal lifestyle' provisions.
The plan is to reduce from £5,000 to £1,000 the monetary limit which applies in certain circumstances under s142(3) PoCA 2002. This means that where it is necessary to show that the proceeds of specific crimes have exceeded (currently) a £5,000 threshold before a convicted offender is deemed to have a 'criminal lifestyle' that threshold will be reduced (in Scotland) to £1,000.
There will also be further offences added to the list of offences for which any conviction will automatically result in the finding that the convicted defendant has a 'criminal lifestyle'. These will include the new 'serious organised crime' offences (but not the related 'failure to report' offence), as well as 'loan sharking' (money lending without a Consumer Credit Act licence) and certain offences relating to the sale or supply of pornography.
Again, as far as I am aware there are no proposals to make similar changes to the law in England and Wales.
I'd never really considered emigrating to England but maybe I should now. It's hard to think of any tax enquiry cases which couldn't be caught in some way by this legislation and rather worringly, if wife doesn't shop husband she goes down as well!
With VAT at 20% and an ever increasing number of tradesmen offering "discount" for cash jobs there could be carnage.
Giving evidence against a spouse
The legal position with regard to giving evidence against one's spouse is rather different North and South of the Border.
In Scotland s86 Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 applies. This provides that "The spouse or civil partner of an accused is a competent and compellable witness for the prosecution, the accused or any co-accused in the proceedings against the accused". But that does not extend as far as requiring the spouse to give evidence which would inciminate himself / herself.
In England & Wales s80 Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 applies. In effect no spouse or civil partner can be compelled to give evidence for the prosecution against their spouse / civil partner (not to incriminate himself / herself).
But don't forget "serious organised crime" has to be crime by at least two persons working together to commit the crime. There will be a lot of tax evasion by individuals operating alone (which therefore is not 'organised').
Blooming Heck
I thought that we had escaped the idiocy that existed south of the border with recovery of assets based on turnover as opposed to profits but now it seems that somebody somewhere has gone even more draconian. Presumably this will have been the "South of the Border" home secretary "not" telling the administrators "North of the Border" what to do.........
Bring back the rack at least you could show the bruises and mental torture inflicted on you before you broke and told on your nearest and dearest.
Interestingly however it says that there is an offence if you fail to tell a police constable when questioned. So my reasonable excuse will have to be that I couldn't find one to tell him/her . To ensure that there are no misunderstandings that was intended to be a joke
It raises an interesting point as to whether any adviser is actually involved in SOC where they know what is going on and accept fees from the accused/conspirator.
Thinking aloud
Suppose you (in Scotland) are approached by clients who want to setup a company (for example). They don't want to be directors of the company nor have it operate from an address of theirs. The company name is to be Cannotfail Investments Ltd. You help them set up the company.
In fact the clients use the company to perpetrate a fraud on persons who invest with them.
Have you committed an offence under s28 on the basis that you "knew or suspected, or ought reasonably to have known or suspected, that the doing of that thing would enable or further the commission of serious organised crime"?
If I have a client based in Scotland, but, the alleged offence o
I would certainly fight extradition to Scotland on the basis that making me eat haggis and listen to Scottish accents and risk being subjected to hearing bagpipes would constitute "cruel & unusual" punishment and would also breach the HRA Act as torture is forbidden.

From Joomla! Documentation
I can not see, if it is possible to create space one author can have his texts, readable possibly for everyone, but editable only for him (exept superadmins).
This would be an important feature for academic cooperation projects, that do not share in every respect the wiki-spirit (still having possibly wiki-areas of free collaboration).
So is there a module or plug-in to manage individual user-rights? Or could/would somebody program one (I'm not suffiently capable in PHP/MySQL, I'm afraid...)

Looks pretty sweet, how long have you been working on it...
I recently developed a conlang primarily in order to label maps. I uploaded my labeled world map here, which is labeled in this conlang I developed (called Trajan).
Now, a little history is in order - this world is only about 6,000 some years old (the labeled world map I uploaded is "current as of the 3T 317B or 3,317 years); the people that speak Trajan were driven from their home almost 2,500 years ago (roughly) and have taken to traveling everywhere in search of information. They record absolutely everything and store all this information in the barrows of kings, guarded by a small country that worships this dead spirits. The Trajev (the speakers of Trajan) created world maps as well as maps of all the continents, nations, areas, cities, towns, villages, &c. I developed this people - and their language - so I can name and label everything with consistency. This doesn't mean that places and titles do not have names in the native language of the nation/country/area. I just didn't want to create 25+ languages to name places, and none of the nations actually know about the world at large - they're pretty much confined to their own continent, if not their own country and the countries immediately bordering them.
So, my big question is: is this even a good idea? I tried to give everything a plausible, semi-translatable name (for instance, one of the oceans is named Asherekadan, which is a combination of the words for "frozen" and "water(s)"). I'd really like to know what people think of this - I'm working on some more maps, particularly continent and nation maps, but I'm thinking that maybe using just one conlang to name everything might look a bit too uniform. What are people's preferences for this? Should I use Trajan for just larger maps and use other conlangs for specific nation/city/&c. maps? I know this is a bit of a broad question, but I'm interested in people's opinions.
* For anyone interested, I've attached a PDF document with the details of Trajan - pronunciation, word order, how adjectives & adverbs are handled, &c. Just for kicks, really. (If you have feedback about the language itself, I'd love to hear it of course). Thanks for your opinions!
Looks pretty sweet, how long have you been working on it...

Started with the description of the people to work out some sounds - looked up some free language lesson sites with mp3's so I could listen to various sounds. I liked the sound of Gaelic Manx, but I wanted something a wee bit simpler, so I just stole the sounds, pretty much. After that, tho', it took me about 10 minutes to work my way to the alphabet, which took me another 20 minutes to create (and yeah, I can sorta write in that script ^.^ It's not as easy as it looks, sadly). The grammar took me a day and a half; roughly 7-10 hours. I've got a lexicon with about 1500 words that I'm pretty sure I want in this language and have spent the last couple weeks on and off (mostly off) filling that in. Translating things really helps with that, but I haven't spent a lot of time just sitting down and creating words or anything - which I should do, now that I think of it.
Thanks for the comment ^.^ - Alizarine
Back to your question - I think it's a great idea. Consistency in naming conventions leads to a more believable map, in my thoughts. Though don't be afraid to break rules on occasion - just look at some realworld maps and check out town or street names, there's some wacky stuff out there mixed in
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
It's not a terrible idea to have a lingua franca--a tongue that most of the people in the world can at least get translated relatively easily. Here and now, that language is English, with French rather close behind.
Given the history you've outlined in your world, so long as a map was made by a Trajev or a Trajan-speaker, it would likely be labeled in Trajan. Of course, if the map is made for the benefit of a local populace, it would make more sense for it to be labeled with the local language. So I guess the thing to think about is who made the map and why? That should tell you what language(s) should be used for labeling.
For the sake of simplicity as a world-builder, I approve of your current approach.

Thanks for the comments!
@ midgardsormr, the only problem I'm seeing is that no one likes the Trajev so they wouldn't want to use their language; in fact, most countries think the Trajev disappeared years ago. The reason no one likes them is because they started gathering knowledge during a very violent time, and when a major catastrophe left a gaping crater in the northern rainforest, everyone assumed the Trajev had helped the man responsible by providing the knowledge he needed. But the Trajev do still collect information, they just pretend they're merchants/mercenaries/&c. - anything that allows them to travel.
Other than that, however, I'm liking the idea of a "lingua franca" a lot - I can also re-label maps with names in the local/national language when I develop them ^.^ Thanks again.
"If they get too nosy, you know, just shoot them."
"Shoot them?"
"Sir, I think there's a problem with your brain being missing ... at last, we can all retire to a life of luxury!"

It can be a lingua franca or a secret language but never both. If the latter, then using Trajan for labeling all maps is as plausible as this: all maps in Europe A.D. 1500 labeled, let's say, in the Ge'ez script and language. It's not exactly the same, but you get the picture.Trajan is now used only for secret communication between the Trajev and to record new information
As for your script, you can do better than that. Twenty minutes is not enough for creating a good and nice looking script. If you care, ask.
Show us a sample text in your language (in transcription).
Oh and check out Alfar's 'Wordbuilder' software....could be helpful for putting together words in your conlang.
I think I recognize the Language Construction Kit format when I see it...
If this is true, then the language would only be used in maps as part of the collection of information. So the map would probably never find its way to the general public.Trajan is now used only for secret communication between the Trajev and to
record new information...
It may just be me, but this seems like a contradiction. If consonants cannot follow one another, then consonant clusters cannot exist.Note that consonants cannot follow one another and, with the exception of 'tr', consonant clusters cannot appear at the beginning...
Also, a lot of your "pronouns" would probably be classed as demonstratives or determiners.
The only other problem I noticed in your description is the alphabet. It looks cool, but would be a nightmare to read/write. The symbols, like those for A and E, are way too similar. A single tiny line left out would leave them looking the same, because the elevation would be hardly noticeable written on paper. I would go back and change a few of the more identical symbols, and make the later ones take fewer strokes.
Other than those, it looks great! You obviously put a lot of thought into it, and did your research. It's also typed up very professionally. Keep up the good work!

Rodney Brewer teaches criminal justice students at the University of Louisville that a police officer's primary responsibility is serving the public. Sometimes, officers lose sight of that mission.
But public servants are heroes everyday, he said. And Brewer, 50, said there's nothing more rewarding than working with these heroes.
Brewer returns to the police force Tuesday when he's sworn-in as commissioner of the Kentucky State Police. Governor-elect Steve Beshear appointed him to the post.

Hehe, don't you know it. That's why I typically have more than one way to get them into something like this. It's too much work not to use it just because they didn't want to dive into the well.
All that work planning an adventure .......and the players take a left turn at Alberquerky...
Not my work by the way....

Love it
Over the years I've gotten very good at manipulating my players into doing what I want them to do and going where I need them to go, ever creating the illusion of choice (also helps having the same group for 6 years where I can pretty much second guess what decision they'll make before they make it). However... there's always those moments where they surprise you!

Yeah, I think most of the Masters have some sort of ace in the hole for this situations. Yet I have found that unexpected players choice can turn out on something cool (or on a complete disaster ).

Yeah, I tend to go with the flow. I've actually had it where a side jaunt determined by player decisions lead to a very enjoyable time for all even if I never did get to the big encounter/dungeon I had planned. If everyone loved it, you then have a feel for what they enjoy and can tailor the module you created for next time so it's more appealing.

Happens to me all the time... I generally had two or three adventures planned out for this reason...
Although; as Jax mentions it, I only prepare detailled GIMP maps for the adventures that I am sure are going to get run...
I can relate to this on both sides of the GM screen (does anyone even USE those anymore...) On one momentous and life changing "adventure that never happened" My Kingdom of Shendenflar was born. All because my thief character didn't want to go tromping through some dumb old forest....

I still use a DM screen but I am new at it all and sometimes I wonder as I rarely feel the need to fudge numbers. I love it so far though
Happens to me about 60% of the time, and even more when I don't have a good hook. If you learn your players well, you can have some solutions to remedy the situation. If it is a low level side quest that was the evenings agenda I have even been known to just use the same dungeon I originally planned and fill it in. My players say that the ones that are off the top of the head are the most memorable though. If your players are having fun then you aren't doing anything wrong, just could use some ready remedies to ease the stress that might develop. I have a printout of all of the enemies by challenge rating to have a quick look up available. After a while you can just do any adventure from the top of your head, but be careful about it. Many players like to know that the DM is at least using the book for the stats and not making stuff up. Bottom line, know the game and have fun!
I think in 20+ years of DMing I've only fudged maybe 3 rolls, all of which were to prevent a stupid character death where barely surviving would make for a better adventure.
But all perception checks and such happen behind my screen too. Actually I have a notch cut into the bottom of my screen with flaps of paper over it labled "DICE DOOR" that my players roll their spot/listen through, so they get the control of rolling but don't see the result.

Potassium (K) in Urine
Test Overview
A test for potassium in the urine is a test that checks how much potassium is in the urine. Potassium is both an electrolyte and a mineral. It helps keep the water (the amount of fluid inside and outside the body's cells) and electrolyte balance of the body. Potassium is also important in how nerves and muscles work.
Potassium levels often change with sodium levels. When sodium levels go up, potassium levels go down, and when sodium levels go down, potassium levels go up. Potassium levels are also affected by a hormone called aldosterone, which is made by the adrenal glands.
Potassium levels can be affected by how the kidneys are working, the blood pH, the amount of potassium you eat, the hormone levels in your body, severe vomiting, and taking certain medicines, such as diuretics and potassium supplements. Certain cancer treatments that destroy cancer cells can also make potassium levels high.
Many foods are rich in potassium, including scallops, potatoes, figs, bananas, prune juice, orange juice, and squash. A balanced diet has enough potassium for the body's needs. But if your potassium levels get low, it can take some time for your body to start holding on to potassium. In the meantime, potassium is still passed in the urine, so you may end up with very low levels of potassium in your body, which can be dangerous.
A potassium level that is too high or too low can be serious. Abnormal potassium levels may cause symptoms such as muscle cramps or weakness, nausea, diarrhea, frequent urination, dehydration, low blood pressure, confusion, irritability, paralysis, and changes in heart rhythm.
Why It Is Done
A urine test to check potassium levels is done to:
- Look for the cause of a low blood potassium test result (hypokalemia).
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before having this test.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
Urine potassium can be checked in a single urine sample but it is more often measured in a 24-hour urine sample.
Urine collection over 24 hours
- You start collecting your urine in the morning. When you first get up, empty your bladder but do not save this urine. Write down the time that you urinated to mark the beginning of your 24-hour collection period.
- For the next 24 hours, collect all your urine. Your doctor or lab will usually provide you with a large container that holds about 1 gal (4 L). The container has a small amount of preservative in it. Urinate into a small, clean container and then pour the urine into the large container. Do not touch the inside of either container with your fingers.
- Keep the large container in the refrigerator for the 24 hours.
- Empty your bladder for the final time at or just before the end of the 24-hour period. Add this urine to the large container and record the time.
- Do not get toilet paper, pubic hair, stool (feces), menstrual blood, or other foreign matter in the urine sample.
How It Feels
There is no discomfort in collecting a one-time or 24-hour urine sample.
There is no chance for problems in collecting a one-time or 24-hour urine sample.
A test for potassium in the urine is a 24-hour test or a one-time (spot) test that checks how much potassium is in the urine. Potassium is both an electrolyte and a mineral.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Results are ready in 1 day.
|Normal (adults):
25–125 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) per day or 25–125 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) per day
|Normal (children):
10–60 mEq/L per day or 10–60 mmol/L per day
Many conditions can affect potassium levels. Your doctor will talk with you about any abnormal results that may be related to your symptoms and past health.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking potassium supplements.
- Taking medicines, such as antibiotics that contain potassium (such as a type of penicillin g), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), heparin, insulin, glucose, corticosteroids, diuretics, medicines used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease, and natural licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra).
- The overuse of laxatives.
- Severe vomiting.
- Failing to collect exactly 24 hours of urine.
What To Think About
- Potassium levels can also be checked in a blood test. To learn more, see the topic Potassium (K) in Blood.
- Doctors may look at urine potassium and blood potassium levels to see whether conditions or medicines may be causing fluid or electrolyte imbalances. Urine potassium levels are often high when blood levels are low or low when blood levels are high. Urine potassium levels are affected by medicines and hormones.

Does anyone here believe in the American dream? Have one? Or hate it for whatever reason?
Does anyone here believe in the American dream? Have one? Or hate it for whatever reason?
Didn't it die in the 90's?
Call me disillusioned but to me the American dream is dead, or has mutated into something that someone from the last generation wouldn't recognize it.
Equal distribution of wealth, i.e. So******m, does not work, but in the same vain wealth for the few at the expanse of the many should not be allowed in a working nation.
90% of the World's wealth is controlled by 20% of its people, and personally that ratio sickens me. That number got that high because pay for middle class laborers and people in non-corporate jobs hasn't risen to keep up with inflation but the companies they are employed by keep earning greater profits with the overflow going directly into the highest levels of management and never trickling down to the worker.
This has caused us to become completely backward where we have a system where the person who works the hardest physically earns the least, unable to pay for services(i.e. Health care), while physically easy jobs pay huge dividends allowing him to have services they do not need to use as often.
The Rich became richer and worked their way into positions of power to create rules that would allow to become even farther richer and to retain more of that wealth. All the while the Middle class has been slowly bleeding to death over the past 25-30 years with money it didn't have (Loans, Credit, Home equity). With the recent crash the Middle class is again been cut into a smaller % while the wealthy refuse to spend their money.
If the path doesn't change in 10 years time the American Dream will be nothing but a nightmare that exists in the empty hole between the Upper Class and the Poverty Line.
"It's called The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
-George Carlin.
Yup it's dead...
Not used though.
What an idiotic though, giving the billions of billions of dollars to working people would not help them a lot, because money can't be eaten, nor can you build a house of money and so forth.
What would you do with a billion bucks, if everyone had one?
Look at the number?
Well, you would look really stupid while doing that and figuring how to buy bread in your crashed economy, where you eradicated all the investment capital and any company in existence has to file chapter 11 because there are no liquid assets left.
Where does the sense of urgency come from?I don't see much of it. The "everything is urgent" and the "we need to keep doing something asap" and the "the growth rate isn't high enough" thinking is the problem, that destabilizes the markets.
When people forget too look at their life and stop realizing that they do not gain a better life by selling their houses for profit all 2 years, besides that they once again live in a place they didn't build, they didn't pick the bathroom tiles for an that isn't going to make them more happy for that reason, that makes a market crash.
People who want money for the sake of money, or short people who are morons.
You and your way of life is what drives the rents up. Not the rents, not the people who own your apartment, not the economy.
The people who screwed up the world where people who bought a car and an overpriced apartment they don't need on a loan they can't pay back.
People who are unhappy because they think they deserve to be happy and people who are unhappy because they aren't rich and on tv.
@The American Dream:
Well, tbh as long as it translates to "do random reckless stuff and figure out how to confront the problems that arise on the go"; Good riddance.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Trying to cut down on salt? Health officials have come up with a list of the top 10 sources of salt in the American diet -- and bread is No. 1.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says just 10 foods account for 44 percent of the sodium in the American diet. Salt is the main source of sodium, which increases the risk of high blood pressure.
Bread and rolls topped the list. They aren't actually saltier than other foods, but a CDC official says people tend to eat a lot of bread. Cold cuts, pizza and poultry were also leading sources.
Health officials say salt should be limited to about a teaspoon a day but most Americans eat more.
The CDC released its list Tuesday.

- "Take the cab. She's got a friend with her. Maybe someone you can date!"
- ―Roman Bellic
Three's a Crowd is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Roman Bellic tells Niko to pick up Mallorie and her friend Michelle in a taxi. While driving the women to Michelle's apartment, Mallorie suggests you take her out for a date, and also that you should acquire some new clothes.
This mission introduces the player to datable women and Clothing Stores.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Pick up Mallorie and Michelle at the subway station.
- Take the girls to Michelle's appartment.
- Go to the Russian clothes shop on Mohawk.
- Buy new clothes.
Niko will receive a text message from Roman asking him to hurry back to the depot; he needs help. Upon entering the office, Niko will chase off the Albanian thugs, Dardan Petrela and Bledar Morina. Roman then receives a call from Mallorie, and asks Niko to pick her up from the Hove Beach LTA and take her, and her friend Michelle, to Michelle's apartment.
Drive The Women
The player must use Roman's Taxi and follow the GPS to the Hove Beach LTA. Honking the horn will get the women to get into the car. The two women must be driven to Michelle's apartment. Along the way, Mallorie suggests that Niko take Michelle out on a date. She also suggests that Niko buy some new clothes.
New Clothes
Niko automatically calls Roman, who suggests the Russian clothing store on Mohawk. The first item purchased will be free, and will complete the mission.
Video Walkthrough
- If you abandon the cab with the girls inside and the mission fails, Niko will treat it as if the cab had blown up, the same will happen if the cab is stuck.
- When Niko tells Roman that the girls have some injuries, Roman will reply in the same way he would have if Niko had assaulted the shop assistant.
- Michelle expresses an interest in Niko as she gets in the front seat next to Niko instead of the backseat with Mallorie where cab passengers usually go.
- If the player exits the car before they enter the yellow marker to pick the girls up and walk over to Mallorie and Michelle, they will not recognize Niko. You can treat them like any other ped on the street. You can knock them over and pull them around, even slightly injure with with a baseball bat, as long as you don't kill them.
- If the player starts a fight with a pedestrian or has the cops after him before he enters the yellow marker to pick up the girls, Mallorie and Michelle will come to Niko's aid and fight anyone after Niko, including the police. Even when the police shoot at the girls, they keep on fighting. The game recognises them as alies until Niko picks them up, but for this to happen is not canon.
- Strangely, in Roman's Sorrow Roman blames Niko for his computer being smashed when he is listing the bad things that have happened to him since Niko's arrival. Bledar actually throws the computer on the ground moments before Niko's intervention, so it was not actually his fault.

- The Print
- The Artist
Russian born Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970) introduced Abstract Expressionism, a new form of Abstractionism, into the art world. Characterized by bright bands of horizontal colors painted on enormous canvases, Rothko's style was intended to engulf viewers in the artwork. Ambiguously named so that viewers could form their own impressions, he utilized a spare palette with the darkest shades placed at the top to symbolize the mental depression which plagued him. Rothko's masterful use of color powerfully conveyed an intimate, intense message without subject matter and adhered to his credo that a good painting must have a deep meaning rooted in concepts of mortality and spirituality.

49 U.S. Code § 40108 - Training schools
prev | next
(a) Authority To Operate.— The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration may operate schools to train officers and employees of the Administration to carry out duties, powers, and activities of the Administrator.
(b) Attendance.— The Administrator may authorize officers and employees of other departments, agencies, or instrumentalities of the United States Government, officers and employees of governments of foreign countries, and individuals from the aeronautics industry to attend those schools. However, if the attendance of any of those officers, employees, or individuals increases the cost of operating the schools, the Administrator may require the payment or transfer of amounts or other consideration to offset the additional cost. The amount received may be credited to the appropriation current when the expenditures are or were paid, the appropriation current when the amount is received, or both.

In this section, the word "Administrator" in section 313(d) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (Public Law 85–726, 72 Stat. 753) is retained on authority of 49:106(g). The words "school or" are omitted because of 1:1.
In subsection (a), the words "officers and" are added for clarity and consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. The words "to carry out duties, powers, and activities of the Administrator" are substituted for "in those subjects necessary for the proper performance of all authorized functions of the Administration" for clarity and consistency in the revised title.
In subsection (b), the words "officers and employees" are substituted for "personnel", the words "departments, agencies, or instrumentalities of the United States Government" are substituted for "governmental", and the words "governments of foreign countries" are substituted for "foreign governments", for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the Code. The words "courses given in", "sufficient", and "appropriate" are omitted as surplus. The text of 49 App.:1354(d) (3d sentence) is omitted as unnecessary because chapter 41 of title 5, United States Code, applies to all training of employees. The words "or both" are substituted for "(3) in part as provided under clause (1) and in part as provided under clause (2)" to eliminate unnecessary words.

- The Artist
Genius, madman, or both, Hieronymus Bosch (1450–1516) was a groundbreaking Flemish artist of the late Gothic period whose work continues to influence artists today. Uniquely gifted in his ability to explore the dark rivers of the mind, Bosch released his inner visions on to canvas. Contrary to the paintings of other Flemish painters which convey serenity and reality, Bosch's work is rife with the macabre, allegorical symbolism and nightmarish images. Exhibiting brilliant colors and exceptional mastery of detail, Bosch's unforgettable, often disturbing artworks, initially collected by King Phillip II of Spain, were forerunners of Surrealism.

|U.S. Airborne Imports Airtime Products
Powerlite Trikes Can Utilize Hang Gliders for Wings
U.S. Airborne Sport Aviation Center is importing the lightweight single-seat Powerlite line of trike carriages from Australia's Airtime Products. The trikes are appropriate for use with modern hang glider wings, which many former hang glider pilots still have, according to U.S. Airborne's Scott Johnson.
Scott Johnson of U.S. Airborne Sport Aviation Center, a trike ultralight dealer and Miniplane powered paraglider manufacturer in Asotin, Washington, reports his company is now importing single-seat Powerlite trikes from Australia's Airtime Products. "U.S. Airborne is highly involved in the U.S. air sport aviation marketplace," Johnson says.
U.S. Airborne Sport Aviation Center has added Powerlite trikes, Explorer powered hang glider harnesses and Discovery foot-launched backpack-style powered paragliding units to their list of air sport products. "We have now started importing what we consider to be one of the best lines of light trikes, powered hang glider harnesses and powered paragliders in the world, from Airtime Products," Johnson says. (See next month's "Industry Watch" for information on the Explorer powered hang glider harness and Discovery powered paragliding units.) Johnson's company also is a dealer for Australia's Airborne* line of trikes and South African manufacturer Rainbow Aircraft's Aerotrike Cobra** and Aerotrike Safari***trikes. And U.S. Airborne also manufacturers the Miniplane****powered paraglider. "The Powerlite trikes have been designed to fit a hang glider wing," U.S. Airborne notes. Most trike wings these days are specifically designed for heavier trike carriages. In general, such trike wings are probably too fast and too stiff in handling to be successfully foot-launched and -landed as free-flight (nonpowered) hang gliders. Lightweight trike carriages, however, are being used with hang glider wings, and many trike pilots were formerly hang glider pilots with a hang glider stored unused in their garages. Johnson (and other trike dealers in the ultralight industry) see these pilots as a potential market for lightweight trikes. "Powerlite trikes are extremely light and maneuverable to fly," Johnson says. "They have the comfort and ease of launching a trike with the soaring capability of a hang glider."

Last summer, when Superbad hit it big, we learned that co-writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg wrote a first draft of the script when they were 13. Rogen is now credited as co-writer (with Kristofer Brown) for the revenge-of-the-nerds comedy Drillbit Taylor, and although I haven't done any research on the film's history, I'm kind of hoping it's something he began working on when he was, say, eight or nine. Juvenile is one thing, but remedial is quite another, and unfortunately, Drillbit Taylor feels as though it was hastily assembled during a grade-school sleepover in which Rogen began prepping Superbad, with My Bodyguard and Ferris Bueller's Day Off used as additional "inspiration."

The European Data Privacy Directive prohibits the transfer of personal data from EU member states to destinations, including the US, that do not meet the European "adequacy" standard for privacy protection.

The Safe Harbor enables US businesses to receive and process personal data from the EU countries and Switzerland if they self-certify their adherence to the protections set out in seven Safe Harbor Privacy Principles. Certifying to the Safe Harbor will ensure that European organizations and consumers know your business provides "adequate" privacy protection.

Newcomers get a grip for Hilltop
When Hilltop wrestling coach Thomas Juarez opened his room for offseason workouts in October, he had some newcomers come in he wasn't sure what to do with.
His surprise turned out to be a pair of CIF champions and some of the hardest workers on the team.
Lancer juniors Kayla Ochoa and Alysia Baker each captured titles at the recent San Diego Section Girls Wrestling Championships at Steele Canyon High School. They lead a cast of seven South Bay girls qualifying for this weekend's Girls State Championship at Lemoore.
"Throughout the year, these girls have been a great example with their commitment and responsibility," said Juarez. "Their work ethic is beyond common dedication."
Not having girls in the Hilltop room for years made things a challenge for everyone.
"I was nervous at the beginning," admitted Ochoa, who captured the section 100-pound title, even though she had never wrestled before this season. "I wasn't sure how the guys would be to have girls around for the first time in like 10 years at the school. I was afraid of being rejected."
Consulting with his fellow coaches, Juarez decided assistant coach Victor Zuniga would focus his attention on the four girls in the room.
Under Zuniga's guidance, the girls improved quickly, largely a credit to how coachable they are.
"They do it in practice, and they do it in matches. I just tell them to do things and they do it to the best of their ability," Zuniga said.
Ochoa, described as a "silent warrior" by Zuniga, came to wrestling from girls tennis, where she earned Rookie of the Year honors. She enjoyed tennis, but wrestling is now her favorite.
"I wanted to challenge myself," said Ochoa. "I'm told I'm pretty aggressive and figured wrestling would be good."
She captured her CIF title with a quick pin of Kearny's Kaira Garcia using her signature move, the Fireman's Carry into a Head-and-Arm finish.
"The coach made us write down our goals at the start of the season, and mine was to place second at CIF and go to state," said Ochoa. "Taking first I guess I exceeded that."
While Ochoa is a newcomer, Baker isn't. Last year she wrestled at Castro Valley. She moved south because of her father's transfer as a Navy Seabee.
"Every three years, you pick up and move on," said Baker, who was born in Virginia. "Dad gets out in two years, so I should be able to finish up high school here."
She began wrestling at the San Francisco Bay Area school for a unique reason — academics.
"My mom convinced me to join wrestling because they had the highest GPA of any girls team in the section," explained Baker. "If you needed help, they made sure you got help."
Baker qualified for the state meet last year at 237 pounds, making the second day of competition. This year she dropped weight and added technique, including the Duck Under she used to win the 191-pound CIF title with a pin of Mar Vista's Vanessa White.
"Alysia has such a great personality," said Zuniga. "She really pushes to win. She listens to her coaches to a T; details stick to her."
Their work isn't done. Now they get to see what they can do against the state's best.
