LOS ANGELES — There was a burp-off, a slime-off and a "Walk This Way"-inspired sing/rap-off, but the hottest competition at Saturday's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was over the best advice.
First up was Will Smith, who in accepting the Favorite Movie Actor blimp trophy said, "You are who you hang with, so if you hang with someone really dumb who does dumb stuff, you're going to be a really dumb person doing dumb stuff."
Then there was Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, who in accepting the Favorite Music Group and Favorite Song (for "Wake Me Up When September Ends") prizes said, "Don't believe everything you see on television. And stick it to the man."
Finally Chris Rock, winner of Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie ("Madagascar") and the Wannabe Award, weighed in. "I know everyone's taking steroids and they taste good," he said, "but just say no."
Unfortunately, there was no text-in voting for these words of wisdom, nor were there crowned winners in host Jack Black and Robin Williams' show-ending slime fight or Chris Brown and Bow Wow's medley, which featured the latter busting through a wall a la Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in Run-DMC's "Walk This Way" video.
There was, however, a clear victor in the Burping with the Stars competition, featuring former Kids' Choice burping champs "Memphis Monsoon" Justin Timberlake and "Aussie Airhorn" Hugh Jackman facing off live. The judging panel, featuring "Benchwarmers" stars Jon Heder, David Spade and Rob Schneider was no help (although Heder may have coined a new term: mouth fart), so viewers stepped in and voted for Timberlake, who in turn thanked his butt "for not letting it come out the other end."
Winners of equally prestigious awards included Lindsay Lohan for Favorite Movie Actress ("This is for my little sister Ali, because she's 12 and she voted online with all her friends," she said), Kelly Clarkson for Favorite Female Singer and Jesse McCartney for Favorite Male Singer (a category featuring three rappers and McCartney).
"This is the best award show because you guys get it," the singer said, catching his breath after sprinting around the Pauley Pavilion in excitement.
Aside from Green Day and Chris Rock, other multiple winners included "Madagascar," which won Favorite Animated Movie and Favorite Video Game ("Madagascar: Operation Penguin"); Harry Potter, which won Favorite Movie ("Goblet of Fire") and Favorite Book (the series); and Drake Bell, who scored prizes for Favorite TV Actor and Favorite TV Show ("Josh & Drake").
|Pink, Justin, Avril, Duffs, Teddy And More On The 2006 Kids' Choice Orange Carpet
Jamie Lynn Spears (Favorite TV Actress for "Zoey 101"), Lance Armstrong (Favorite Athlete) and "Sponge Bob SquarePants" (Favorite Cartoon) also took home blimps, the trophy that doubles as a kaleidoscope, Robin Williams told MTV News. (We're taking that with a grain of salt.)
Black opened the show with a reworked rendition of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" called "Saturday Night's Alright (For Sliming)." And Pink also performed, singing her social commentary "Stupid Girls" in front a group of female skateboarders showing off on a half pipe. Later in the song, Pink was joined by various dancers dressed as women with prominent jobs, including a doctor, lawyer and firefighter.
On the orange carpet before the show, Pink had a chance to meet Chris Brown, who seconds later bumped into Rihanna. Presenter Nelly, meanwhile, introduced himself to Kristin Cavallari just before being stopped by his "The Longest Yard" co-star Chris Rock. "I love the man, the whole family," Nelly said.

Will Smith made sure to hit the press line so he could visit his 12-year-old son Trey, who was guest reporting for "Access Hollywood." "I just kissed him on the lips on camera, so he's a little embarrassed," Smith said, laughing.
A blond Avril Lavigne hit the carpet with "Over the Hedge" co-star Bruce Willis, while a Mohawked and blinged-out Nick Cannon ("I'm like a skinny Mr. T," he said) arrived with a massive posse in matching camouflage. "I've grown up on this show so it's good to keep coming back and showing different sides of me," Cannon said.
Good Charlotte came out to support Joel Madden's girlfriend, Hilary Duff, who lost to Lohan for Favorite Movie Actress.
"This is the only award show you can go to where you know you won't get shot or stabbed," Benji Madden joked. But you're never safe from slime.

Hi medtran,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Let's assume User 1 is the primary user account and iTunes library (associated to the Apple ID) that you want to use from this point on. If you have a copy of your music folder from your second user account saved to an external drive .... you can open your iTunes library on the User 1 account and Add the music to that library. (See link below). Then you can check for duplicates and eliminate them.
Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
Adding music and other content to iTunes
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
If you have a lot of iTunes purchases on the two user accounts, another way to approach this is to combine those purchases. The information below is from the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of this article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
I hope this information helps ....

Revisiting Vietnam in memoryPublished 4:08pm Saturday, January 21, 2012
"In this postmodern world, cultural conflicts are becoming more dangerous than anytime in history. A new model of coexistence is need is needed, based on man's transcending himself." — the late Vaclav Havel
Vaclav Havel said once, "… I think there are good reasons for suggesting that the modern age has ended. Today many things indicate that we are going through a transitional period, when it seems that something is on the way out and something else is painfully being born. It is as if something were crumbling, decaying, and exhausting itself, while someone else, still indistinct, were arising from the rubble."
There is more: "Man as an observer is becoming completely alienated from himself as a being."
I guess it has a male ring to it. I will nudge a few more Havel sayings along the way. I'm trying to complete this column while in the conference room at Austin Manor where I spend portions of time working with the residents.
Over the years I have spent some time as a teacher here in Austin that wasn't good so I ran off to California and started teaching in Mira Loma. That worked well and eventually that made way for the draft and that eventually leading to Duc Pho Vietnam where we became acquainted with each other. Jim Hinkle was the first friend I met on the flight to Hawaii from California.
Hinkle was moved across the street from the Duc Pho Catholic Orphanage. Not so long after that Jim drove over a command detonated 155 round. He died a couple weeks later in Japan along with a couple other soldiers.
Thursday I will be going to Duluth to share my CD of my story of Vietnam that will be called "You Beau Coup Dien cadau." Steve Burton assisted in making the CD, something way beyond my capability.
Mello and Fred will have to put up without me for a couple days and they, with Jeanne's assistance and their barking, will continue as the work is being done with the builders.

The quarter ended June 30, 2010 is the third consecutive quarter during which total nonperforming assets declined. Nonperforming assets which consist of non-accrual loans and other real estate owned ("OREO") were $110.6 million at June 30, 2010 as compared to $145.6 million at September 30, 2009; this represents an improvement of $35.0 million or 24% over the nine month period. This decrease supports Management's opinion, stated in the 2009 earnings release, that nonperforming assets peaked during the third quarter of 2009. The $110.6 million of nonperforming assets is comprised of $6.7 million of OREO properties and $103.9 million of non-accrual loans. Of the $103.9 million in non-accrual loans, $31.3 million or 30% of non-accrual loans consisting of 25 notes are under 30 days past due as to payments. The $6.7 million in OREO consists of three properties none of which have been in OREO greater than one year. During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, OREO declined by $12.3 million or 65% reflecting the disposition of six properties on which the Company recorded net losses of $173,000 or approximately 1% at the time of sale.The quarter ended June 30, 2010 is also the fifth consecutive quarter during which the level of loans placed on nonaccrual declined demonstrating a consistent improvement in the risk profile of the portfolio. Additions to nonaccrual loans during each of the previous five quarters were: June 30, 2010 - $3.3 million, March 31, 2010 - $4.0 million, December 31, 2009 - $9.3 million, September 30, 2009 - $26.2 million and June 30, 2009 - $54.8 million.

I'm currenty trying to extract information from a website's API JSON output. Here is what I have, and it almost works perfectly:
def get_player_stats
uri = URI("http://elophant.com/api/v1/euw/getPlayerStats?accountId=#{CGI.escape(@summoner.acctId)}&season=CURRENT&key=KEYID")
resp = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
hash = JSON(resp.body)
solo_ranked_elo = hash['playerStatSummaries']['playerStatSummarySet'][2]['maxRating']
puts solo_ranked_elo
The problem is that the
['playerStatSummarySet'][1] values will change depending on the player. So for one player their
maxRating would be in set
[1], but another player's
maxRating will be in set
I need to search for the set where the
RankedSolo5x5 value exists then I can go about outputting the
maxRating. How would I go about this?
Here are two example files I'm using for comparison:
I hope that is clear enough!

West Point wins collegiate boxing championship
April 16, 2010
WEST POINT, N.Y. (April 15, 2010) -- The Black Knights took five individual titles and were named the overall team champion as they hosted the National Collegiate Boxing Association Championships for the first time last weekend.
The cadets beat out arch-rival Navy for their third consecutive title in as many years. Air Force placed third, providing a service-academy sweep of the three-day event April 8-10 at the U.S. Military Academy.
Amateur athletes from schools coast to coast made their way to West Point to compete on the squared canvas in Crest Hall. More than 48 bouts in 12 weight classes determined the tournament's winners.
Three-peat Garcia
Army's Cow Danilo Garcia won his third consecutive national championship after defeating Jerome Foster from the University of Nevada Las Vegas by decision. In the second round of the three-round bout, Garcia was stunned by a body shot that sent the defending champ into the ropes.
With a full house chanting "Army, Army, Army...," Garcia regained his composure and fought back to finish the round strongly.
As the decision was announced, Garcia threw his arms up with excitement and immediately looked into the crowd for his Family. As Garcia was handed the belt, he handed it to his brother who met him in the center of the ring.
Stous takes back title
Army took the next three championship fights before the most anticipated fight of the evening, between Firstie Ryle Stous and University of Maryland's Ryan Roach.
Roach defeated the two-time defending national champion of the 165-pound weight class in the regional tournament less than a month ago.
Stous entered the ring with his signature high black socks and a look of determination in his eyes. The fight went back and forth, with Stous and Roach trading punches over three two-minute rounds.
The fight lived up to its expectation, as both fighters stood with intense looks on their face awaiting the ring announcer to give the decision.
"The winner ...," ring announcer Firstie Orlando Zambrano paused, "...out of the blue corner, Ryle Stous."
The crowd erupted with cheers and Stous embraced his competitor after the hard-fought battle.
All-American team
All 10 West Point boxers who fought during the weekend earned All-America honors, with five cadets earning first team, four earning second team and one earning third team. However, it took the 50 other cadets on the team to get them the results in the ring, head boxing coach Ray Barone said.
"Guys like (Firstie) Billy Myers and (Firstie) AJ Pisano who did not fight over the weekend, really pushed our guys during sparring sessions throughout the season," Barone said." Stous fought a southpaw in the finals and Billy, who is a southpaw, really pushed him during training rounds to give him a true look at what he was going to be competing against."
Reflecting on the weekend, Barone said fighting in front of the home crowd was a huge factor in the team's championship performance.
"Hearing the crowed cheer 'Army' helped our guys through the fights," Barone said.

I gave birth at 26 weeks and my son is currently in the NICU until mid-March (original EDD was March 17, 2010).
Would it still be appropriate to have a baby shower? After baby comes home? Like a meet-the-baby-shower? I have no idea!!

Proud Army Wife & Momma to Mason (5) & Tyse, born Dec 14, 2009 at 26 wks, 4days - 2lbs. 5 oz
I was in the same boat. My baby was born unexpectedly at 28 weeks. My friends ended up preparing a Baby-Shower-Birthday-BBQ for me about two weeks later while Lucas was still in the NICU. All our friends - male and female - were invited and we ended up having a great time in the back yard with lots of food, music, and I got a bunch of gifts for the baby.
I don't think that there is a problem with doing things a little different. Everybody will understand.
And congratulations Mommy. Soon, soon your baby will be home with you and you get to enjoy every second with him.
DS (4) @ 28w5d - 2lbs2oz and DD (EDD 7/25/2014 and still fighting in the NICU) @ 24w6d - 15oz (both due to severe Pre-E and HELLP)
I think it's a fabulous idea! This way not only do you not miss out on your baby shower, but you also get the 1st look at baby over and done with in one shot! I found myself torn whenever people wanted to come by because we brought my son home before he was full-term and he weighed only 4lbs. I just wasn't ready to share him with anyone plus being a 1st time mom I was paranoid about having people around. I think your get-together idea is great. This way you can decide when you & LO are ready for festivities.

With a 26th weeker, his weak immune system and lungs, I would not risk having him around all these people in March. I would do a baby shower but BEFORE the baby comes home for the hospital, that way people can see pictures of who they are celebrating without haveing the option of sharing their garms...
Of course it is entirely your choice and everyone has different comfort levels but for instand I had a 30 weeker in March 09 and I am having her "meet the baby" party at her first yr Bday...
Best of luck with your decision.

We had a "coming out party" last spring after RSV season was over and DS was 4 months old. I would not have one right after your LO comes home.
You could have one while your LO is still in the NICU, but bring photos to the part to pass around.

I see nothing wrong with it! I missed my pre-planned baby shower as I went into labor in a town thousands of miles from home. So my friends threw me a "virtual" shower where we used Skype to talk between everyone, they could see us and I could see them. They also took pictures of everyone who came with their gifts. If you are worried about germs that is one way around it. My friends also set up my nursery for me so it was all ready for her when we finally came home and they did it as a part of the shower. It was such a blessing for us.
DD born 10/28/09 at 29 weeks 1 day - 2 lb 13 oz, 15 inches. Home 12/14/09 after a 6 week NICU stay. Ds born 12/08/11 at 37 weeks, my termie!
We had Eli at 29 weeks in November. We had the baby shower already set for Jan. 2 so we just went with it. But instead of playing games (which I thought were pointless after the baby was born!) we made a scrapbook of all the pictures that we had already taken. If you already had a shower date set, just keep it. Adjust it to what you want and need for the moment. It will be great!!
PS- For decorations, just have a ton of pictures of your LO. People will love being able to see how much he has changed since birth!

Proud Preemie Mama to 2!
I would definately still do a shower but not have baby there. Too much of a risk with a 26 weeker in my opinion.
Like vouvoune we are planning the Meet the Baby gathering for his birthday (or possibly later since RSV season is still in full swing).
Boy #1 3/09 born at 30wks severe pre-e/HELLP 3lbs 2oz. Boy #2 5/11 born at 37wks pre-e, PTL 6lbs 4oz. Boy #3 5/13 born at 35wks pre-e 5lbs 11oz
i would advise AGAINST having your baby at the baby shower. first because it would just be too much! too stressful and not to mention you will probably not want too many people around the baby for a few months after homecoming. preemies are at a big risk for getting sick and even though flu season will be coming to a close at the time, you still need to be extremley cautious. second, you need stuff before the he comes home. we had my baby shower about a month before my son came home (while he was still in the nicu). we had it at a restaurant and it was more like a party with baby presents. guys came too. you can set pictures of your son on the tables and make it cute. definitley HAVE a shower even if you have to throw it yourself because people dont know what to do, you deserve it! but DONT bring your son, it would be too risky and complicated. take the day and try to relax, have fun and celebrate not only your baby, but YOU! :)

You've gotten some WONDERFUL advice. But I'm going to reitterate, DON"T bring the baby. It's still RSV season. NOt only that, but every time your baby leaves the house, you're risking her health!
With that being said. I had a very small (like 8 people came) party. I knew these people VERY well, and I decided to bring DS in a sling. Only my mom held him, but it satisfied everyone else to see him. He slept the whole time, but he was pretty sick within 2 days. I didn't think it'd be a problem, but it was his first cold he got as a result. Please please please be careful!
DS was borrn @ 33 weeks with a whole list, but a magical spirit :)

Skip to comments.'Hardball with Chris Matthews' 9/27/2011 (Outlaw discrimination based on employment record)
Posted on 09/30/2011 9:55:29 AM PDT by sickoflibs
Chris Matthews: And speaking of the president`s jobs plan, there`s one part that hasn`t gotten a great deal of attention, according to "The New York Times." The president is backing a proposal to prohibit employers in this country from discriminating against job applicants who are unemployed, in other words, if you`re out of work, you can`t apply for work.
A company can`t discount you based on the fact that you don`t currently have a job. It would also stop job boards and employment agencies from advertising for positions that exclude unemployed workers.
I never heard anything like this. Is it a good idea? Well, there are 14 million people out of work today in the United States and 4.5 million of those have been unemployed for more than a year. So do the math, 4.5 million people sitting out there right now who want to work right now, in fact, are walking the street looking for jobs.
Dana Milbank is a columnist for "The Washington Post." Steve Moore is a senior economic writer for "The Wall Street Journal."
I have to ask you, to start off at the bat -- let`s go with Steve -- what is the case for employers being allowed to say, don`t waste my time if you`re unemployed looking for a job; you`re not going to even get an interview here?
STEPHEN MOORE, SENIOR ECONOMIC WRITER, "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL": Well, I don`t think it`s -- I don`t think it`s right to say, like, you know, like Irish need not apply, unemployed need not apply.
But I do think, Chris, that it is important for employers to be able to look at the worker job history, and if somebody`s been out of work for a long time, for better or for worse, that`s usually a negative on their resume. It doesn`t look -- I always tell people, you know, the best way to find a job is to have a job. And so --
MATTHEWS: But, Steve, you`re being redundant. If you tell a person they can`t apply for a job because they have been out of work, then the next time they apply for a job, they will say, you have been out of work longer; therefore, you can`t apply for this job.
It seems like it`s a redundant, vicious cycle you`re creating here.
MOORE: Well --
MATTHEWS: Don`t hire the unemployed, so they can be unemployed next week and not get hired by someone who won`t hire the unemployed.
Isn`t that a problem you have just created right here on this show?
MOORE: Well, this is why I think these --
Advertise | AdChoicesMATTHEWS: You have just done it. You have stepped in it.
MOORE: No, I think that --
MOORE: I think the -- I think problem is -- one of the big problems with the -- half of the people who are unemployed now have been unemployed for more than six months.
I think one of the reasons for that, and the statistics show this, is we keep extending unemployment insurance. That`s kept people unemployed longer than they would otherwise be, and it`s hurt their job market prospects.
MATTHEWS: So, as they go out there to apply for a job, they`re told they can`t apply because they have been unemployed. But you say they don`t go looking for jobs because they have been getting benefits.
Which is it? Are they looking for jobs and being rejected?
MOORE: Right.
MATTHEWS: Why would they put those signs up if they weren`t having people come in and looking for jobs or unemployed? They wouldn`t need to sign.
MOORE: Look --
MATTHEWS: It`s a good question. You don`t know the answer, do you? Why would you tell a person not to apply for unemployment when they unemployed aren`t looking for jobs? You wouldn`t need the sign, would you?
MOORE: Look, Chris, you`re taking out of context my words. I don`t think it`s fair for employers to say, if you don`t have a job, you can`t apply. But I do think it`s certainly legitimate for businesses to look at the work history. If somebody`s been out of work for two years, you`re less likely to want to hire that person than somebody two actually has been working.
MATTHEWS: OK. Dana, let me ask you this about this. I didn`t know this was going on. And I`ll tell you one thing -- I`m into politics, not hiring people. I think it sounds like hell.
This is the worst I`ve heard. You don`t help a guy or a woman who`s out of work, say a plant closed. It`s not their fault, they`re living in some small town, all there is is the plant. There`s not another plant opening up. It`s not their fault.
DANA MILBANK, "THE WASHINGTON POST": Right. And Barack Obama, in proposing this, you know, buried in the legislation, is praying that John Boehner will say the same sort of thing that Steve Moore just said, because, you know, leaving aside the economics, it puts the president --
MATTHEWS: So, this is a booby trap?
MILBANK: Well, sure it is. I mean, look, very few things in this jobs bill are being passed. The only real unemployment we`re talking about here is preventing Barack Obama from becoming unemployed, so he`s picking various fights with Republicans. Even if this were implemented, you know, these things would take months if not years to resolve in lawsuits.
But it`s good politics and it`s illustrated by the fact that there`s one state that`s doing this sort of thing, blocking employers from having these ads saying "no unemployed need apply," and that is New Jersey. And this law was signed by Chris Christie. The man all these Republicans --
MATTHEWS: He`s with the president on this. He signed the bill.
Here`s the -- by the way, Christie`s agrees with the president. I know that the other day.
Here`s the president last month explaining why this kind of protection for the unemployed job applicant is necessary. By the way, he`s on the very popular "Tom Joyner Radio Show." Let`s listen to him.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We have seen instances in which employers are explicitly saying, we don`t want to take a look at folks who have been unemployed. Well, that makes absolutely no sense. And I know there`s legislation that I`m supportive of that says, you know, you cannot discriminate against folks because they been unemployed, particularly when you`ve seen so many folks who, through no fault of their own, ended up being laid off because of the difficulties of this recession.
let's not have any standards in employment. worked for the Dems in 2008 Pres. election.
I see both sides of this but I lean more to the idea it is wrong for a company to not consider people who are unemployed.
that is some catch 22
are there some who are milking the sytem/ Absolutely but i think far far more would like to have a job.
I am not sure suing the compnay is the answer and there probably is no good answer
I havent done one of these in a while but this one segment is priceless.
how can anyone watch or listen or even give time of their day to this buffoon?
You have think like a leftist and an attorney. Think endless lawsuits, EEOC compliance reviews, investigations, government "unemployed" applicants going from company to company looking to be rejected, settlement agreements, etc. etc.
I have a black Democrat friend who works as a manager at a large company on a technical product line who has to hire and manage workers. We talked yesterday and he admitted this idea of Dems was unrealistic and counterproductive, which I thought was obvious.
If you cant discriminate based on employment history then it makes no sense to hire any American workers here in the USA unless the government gives you the money.
There are already so many questions it's against the law to ask an applicant, now this.
I propose that all employers be issued a government-approved dart board for use in all hiring decisions.
That's right Chrissy! Create ANOTHER law that causes employers to stop accepting job applications and resumes from people seeking work. Why do something that could potentially land you ass in court? Brilliant! You freakin' idiot!!! A typical dumbass DemocRAT. Always a kneejerk reaction to everything without ever thinking anything through.
Maybe we should not allow employers to ask about work history.
Practically speaking that is what it would mean, but they know this will never be passed into law. Democrats in Maryland used to throw all kinds of stuff like this at the prior RINO governor to get him to veto it to demonize him.
The problem is that this is much like the banning of pre-existing condition exclusions and minimum wage, this type of thing is popular with most American voters who seem to not have a clue what second order longer term effects are. Public schools teach global warming and birth control when they need (Austrian) economics and history.
I believe the unemployed should have the right to apply for employment. I also believe employers should have the right to reject employment on that basis. Sounds fair to me.
AS i said I see both sides but from a human standpoint how do unemployed people get hired if companies won't hire unemployed people?
all that does is keep them on unemployment and congress voting to extend unemployment payments.
There doesn't seem to be a good solution and I really really feel bad for people who got laid off or their companies closed and now they can't even get interviews for work
Matthews makes that specific argument. I will respond on another comment to Matthews words and ping you.
I saw this segment and was especially interested when I saw Stephen Moore debating Matthews. Checkout the kind of crap below that Moore put up with. His big mistake is being too polite. You need to fight fire with fire. I would take his position and reframe it in a way that makes obvious how stupid Dems idea is, just as Matthews is framing Moore's. example below:
MATTHEWS: But, Steve, you`re being redundant. If you tell a person they can`t apply for a job because they have been out of work, then the next time they apply for a job, they will say, you have been out of work longer; therefore, you can`t apply for this job.It seems like it`s a redundant, vicious cycle you`re creating here.
SOL response :"Chris, How the hell do we get US employers to Hire anyone when you are making it impossible for them to do business here with stupid ideas like this? Does MSNBC use resumes with employment dates on them to screen candidates for employment? Then why do you make believe dumb stuff like this makes sense? Do you think all your viewers are idiots?"
The simple answer is that companies that discriminate for irrational reasons are less effective than those who hire based on true potential.
tradition has it that being out of a job is a negative predictor. If it is, it shouldn't be illegal to use. if it isn't, there is no need to make it illegal because the error is its own punishment.
Your point is slightly different than Matthews but similar.
Employers are cherry-picking candidates because it's a employers market. It's an employers market largely but not solely because the government punishes employers for hiring and drives them to automation and offshoring with stupid ideas like this. If there were more jobs wrt candidates employers would have to (their best interest ) hire candidates that dont look perfect.
Killing the cow because it's not producing as much milk as the owner has kids is counterproductive.

How the Government Can Create Jobs (Testimony to congress), | Sep 13, 2011 | Peter Schiff
Thank you
somehow I did not read those threads the first time around..
Even though everything sheiff says is common sense and accurate i have NO doubt obama does not grasp. Well obama and those around him
I still wish there was a way to destigmatize those who have been unemployed and can't even submit resumes
thanks for the info
There is no time machine, just like there is no way to reverse what the housing bubble caused wrt House prices and over-supply. And most government efforts to do so just prolong the pain as we have seen. One of my first Schiff posts was of this video classic.
This is just another baby step toward the eventual goal of assigning everyone a job. Some committee somewhere will determine where you'll work and how much you'll get paid - based on fairness, of course. This is just moving us in that direction.
Your post #4 picture of the ding bat.... MATTHEWS: So, this is a booby trap?
"I believe the unemployed should have the right to apply for employment. I also believe employers should have the right to reject employment on that basis. Sounds fair to me."
I agree, no one could possibly justify requiring anything else. At the same time I don't think it is WISE for someone seeking good help to refuse to consider anyone who is not currently employed. There are some very good people who are unemployed through no fault of their own right now. Of course I realize there are also a lot of people whose unemployment is of their own doing.
I read someplace that Rachel Madow was voted "Ugliest Man on Campus" when she was in college.......
"Lesbians: Real ones aren't so hot."
I love demotivational posters.
But you do see where a candidate currently employed would and should (if the employer has any sense) in most cases have the edge over someone on unemployment comp for say 14 months competing for a job? It is an employers market for most jobs and they naturally are cherry picking.
They don't care if it is enforced or not. It is just another source of income for lawyers.
Although it is unpopular, employers should be able to accept or reject an employee based on any criteria. Yes, even race, gender, etc. As Milton Friedman pointed out, if an employer rejects a qualified candidate based on race, then it is that employer who will ultimately suffer because one his competitors will hire based on merit.
It was the government's Jim Crow laws that made blacks into second class citizens. If it had been up to the business community and the free market had been allowed to operate, then businesses would have embraced the best employees and catered to the most customers.
Whenever you find a bad situation, you can be sure that government has either caused it or exacerbated it. Government efforts to "help", always hurt those it intends to help the most. It's the same with the stupid new rules on banks. Now banks are raising their fees due to the law, but the people are blaming the banks, instead of the politicians who created the mess.
You have think like a leftist and an attorney. Think endless lawsuits, EEOC compliance reviews, investigations, government "unemployed" applicants going from company to company looking to be rejected, settlement agreements, etc. etc.That's what this is all about. It's not just a "keep Obama employed" act -- as Moore stated in a few of the 20 words he was actually able to get in edgewise over miss chrissie's incessant interrupting -- but a full employment act for lawyers and bureaucrats.
WHENEVER a leftist says s/he's doing something "good", the end result is increased misery for the majority.

Overview of ASP.NET
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
ASP.NET is a unified Web application platform that provides the services necessary to build and deploy enterprise-class Web applications. ASP.NET offers a new programming model and infrastructure for more secure, scalable, and stable applications that can target any browser or device.
ASP.NET is part of the Microsoft .NET Framework, a computing environment that simplifies application development in the highly distributed environment of the Internet. The .NET Framework includes the common language runtime (CLR), which provides core services such as memory management, thread management, and code security. It also includes the .NET Framework class library, which is a comprehensive, object-oriented collection of types that developers can use to create applications.
ASP.NET offers the following benefits:
Manageability: ASP.NET uses a text-based, hierarchical configuration system that simplifies applying settings to your server environment and Web applications. Because configuration information is stored as plain text, new settings can be applied without the aid of local administration tools. Any changes to the configuration files are automatically detected and applied to the application. For more information, see Overview of ASP.NET Configuration.
Security: ASP.NET provides default authorization and authentication schemes for Web applications. Developers can easily add to, remove, or replace these schemes depending on the needs of the application. For more information, see Overview of ASP.NET Security.
Ease of Deployment: An ASP.NET application is deployed to a server by simply copying the necessary files to the server. No server restart is required — not even to deploy or replace running compiled code. For more information, see Overview of ASP.NET Deployment.
Enhanced Performance: ASP.NET is compiled code running on the server. Unlike traditional Active Server Pages (ASP), ASP.NET can take advantage of early binding, just-in-time (JIT) compilation, native optimization, and caching services right out of the box for improved performance. For more information, see Overview of ASP.NET Performance Monitoring.
Flexible Output Caching: ASP.NET can cache page data, portions of a page, or whole pages, depending on the needs of the application. Cached items can be dependent on files or other items in the cache, or they can be refreshed based on an expiration policy.
Internationalization: ASP.NET uses Unicode internally to represent request and response data. Internationalization settings can be configured for each computer, each directory, and each page.
Mobile Device Support: ASP.NET supports any browser on any device. Developers use the same programming techniques to target new mobile devices that they use for traditional desktop browsers.
Scalability and Availability: ASP.NET was designed to be scalable, with features specifically tailored to improve performance in clustered and multiprocessor environments. Moreover, processes are closely monitored and managed by Internet Information Services (IIS) and the ASP.NET CLR so that if one misbehaves, a new process can be created in its place, which helps keep your application available to handle requests. For more information, see Overview of ASP.NET Process Isolation.
Tracing and Debugging: ASP.NET provides tracing services that can be enabled during debugging at both the application level and the page level. You can choose to view the information either in a page or using the application-level trace viewing tool. ASP.NET supports local and remote debugging with .NET Framework debugging tools, both during development and when the application is in production. When an application is put into production, tracing statements can be left in the production code with no impact on performance.
Integration with the .NET Framework: Because ASP.NET is part of the .NET Framework, the power and flexibility of the entire platform is available to Web applications. The .NET class library, as well as solutions for messaging and data access, are all seamlessly accessible from the Web. ASP.NET is language-independent, so developers can choose the language that best applies to the application. In addition, CLR interoperability preserves existing investments in COM-based development.
Compatibility with Existing ASP Applications: ASP and ASP.NET can run side by side on an IIS Web server without interference; there is no chance of corrupting an existing ASP application by installing ASP.NET. Only files with a .aspx file name extension are processed by ASP.NET. Files with an .asp file name extension will continue to be processed by the ASP engine. You should note, however, that session state and application state are not shared between ASP and ASP.NET pages.
ASP.NET enables two features for distributed applications: Web Forms and XML Web services. These two features are supported by the same configuration and debugging infrastructure.
Web Forms technology enables you to build powerful form-based Web pages. Web Forms pages use reusable built-in or custom components to simplify the code of a page.
XML Web services that are created using ASP.NET enable you to access servers remotely. Using XML Web services, businesses can provide programmatic interfaces to their data or business logic, which in turn can be obtained and manipulated by client and server applications. XML Web services enable the exchange of data using standards such as XML messaging and HTTP across firewalls in client/server and server/server scenarios. Programs written in any language and running on any operating system can call XML Web services.

Carhartt Shirts: High Visibility Yellow Long Sleeve T Shirt K227
Yellow Carhartt...
By: csisunset
Very high quality and remarkable company. I like wearing this shirt especially when it snows because of the high visablity. I definitely would reccomend getting this long sleeve Tshirt if not this one definitely a Carhart. Carhart holds up for anyone that is rough on clothes. The reason I bought this Tshirt is because it has been snowing alot here and I figured if you see me in the snow then you don't need to be outside in the snow.
Was this review helpful To you?

MyWorld is a 2D mmorpg that breaks the current stereotypical genre by furthering the horizons. MyWorld aims to have a depthful world, creating a compelling history. Languages, migration, culture, history, Alchemy, farming, evolution, a large range of weapons and armour related to the development of their perticular species, Myworld is a World in itself - featuring around 4000 "known" species of fauna and flora and a fully-detailed planet, from tectonic plates to weather patterns to erosion and deforestation. MyWorld will be throwing out the classic "you levelled up!" and "classes" system, and introducing a more intricate system. You will no longer have to make the choice between sword, stealth and magic. Instead, practice your swordsmanship whilst throwing a fireball or two and become what you desire your character to be. MyWorld will allow you to customize your character, such as their "portrait".
This is the still somewhat-bugged Fauna Generator I made for MyWorld. I planned to release it debugged, but I guess this will do, the bugs aren't really that much a problem.

Of course your ILs are "playing nice" now - you have something they want: LO. What are the consequences for your mom's behavior?

Exactly WSS^^^.
Your ILs are playing nice because they want access to your LO. The moment you deny them, even for legitimate reasons, you will see the rudeness come back.
Your mother's behavior is a big concern. She is undermining your ability to have a good relationship with your ILs. She would rather you have a shitty relationship with them but she looks good. That is juvenile and unacceptable. You need to call her and tell her, "Mom, the way you behaved this past week was hurtful and offensive. Putting me down just so you would look good to my guests was unacceptable. I'm sure you understand that I cannot have you in my life for the next few weeks. I'll call you when I'm ready to move past this."
Forgive me, but I'm using an iDevice. Damn you, Autocorrect!
Perhaps your mother doesn't need to be around when your IL's visit?
My own mother has no problem throwing me under the bus if she thinks it will further her favor with other people. I learned that quickly and now I just don't give her the opportunity to do it. My mom and IL's have been in the same state four times in the last 20 years--my college graduation, my wedding, and my ds's 1st Thanksgiving, and a year later at his 1st birthday. She simply got worse as time went on and now she's not invited around.
Your son is adorable!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition
Question from illdiablo
Can I store excess items anywhere?
Is there any place in the game where I can store items?
6 years ago
Yes but you have to buy a house for that. you can buy houses in any city, but i would suggest buying the one in the imperial city. it is the cheapest.
6 years ago
The shack/house in Imperial City is ideal yes. Also, try to use the chest at the foot of the bed to store your weapons & armor, and the cupboard by the door to store your other items like rings, potions, scrolls, etc. If you are a smart character & have bought all the houses in the whole game, you might want to take some advice & write down on a piece of paper each city & house you buy; then put into each of them whatever items you wish. Take that piece of paper & fold it & put it in your game case; that way, if you forget where something is, you have it written down.
Hope this helps out. :)

There are many different study methods to help a person get good grades. My past methods were the outlining method and the Cornell method. I use the outline method the most because, in my opinion, it is the easiest to study from. Although the Cornell style was organized, it was too hard to take notes during class so; I would only use it if there was a PowerPoint. There are other methods that I can use in the future. Some methods are better than others but it depends on the person's brain.
Throughout my years in school, I have used the outlining and Cornell methods. The outline method was very useful to me because the triune brain is connected to create, organize, or produce memory. Outline had to be created because you have to know what to title the first bulleted point then you write all the facts under it. When a new topic comes up, you need to know to have another first level bullet point. The second method I have been using is the Cornell method. This method was harder to use since I never really knew what to name each topic on the left. I did not know how to separate the main topic from the subtopic. I rather use the method of outlining since it is much easier for me.
I used to think that I only had two methods. I never realized that I have used more methods besides outlining and Cornell style. For example, I usually study or work in a quiet place as my working area. This helps me to stay focused on my work with little to no distractions. When I took the perceptual learning preference survey by Kate Kinsella I found out that I am a kinesthetic learner. When I think about it, I am kinesthetic because most of the stuff I would learn how to do stuff by myself. Before I took the survey, I thought I was a visual/verbal learner because I rather read the book or take notes to study instead of hearing and listening to lectures. The highest right now is kinesthetic which people who study by touch, do, or learn by themselves.
For future studying, I am planning...

Lots of available jobs — many paying high wages — relatively affordable rents and an appealing lifestyle have U.S. economists touting metro Denver as a prime spot for recent college grads to strike out on their own.
"Go West, young man," a fabled bit of advice offered when westward expansion was seen as a solution to America's problems of poverty and unemployment, rings as true today as it did 150 years ago.
Colorado is one of only 16 states that have recovered all the jobs lost during the Great Recession. In 2013, Colorado had the fourth-strongest job growth in the country, Moody's Analytics economist Nathan Kelley said, and wages are 18 percent higher than the national average.
The recovery has been broad, led by new jobs in white-collar business and professional sectors, and in scientific and technical work that requires college degrees or special training.
"Given the fact that the West, in general, has the fastest job growth of any region, any college graduate would do well to look West," Moody's Analytics managing director Steven Cochrane said. "Then they have to find a match with their own skills and that can be another story. But the broad economic environment ought to be pretty good."
Colorado's economy is growing under the power of construction, energy, aerospace and technology-producing industries that demand skilled, educated workers.
And the state has worked hard to lure big companies, including DaVita, Arrow Electronics and Redwood Trust to the metro area, generating thousands of high-paid jobs, Kelley said.
"There are a lot of things going for Denver that are really putting it ahead of the pack," he said.
Count among them analysis by Apartments.com, which listed Denver first in the "Top 10 Best Cities for Recent College Graduates."
The ranking considered median age, employment opportunities, career-development potential, salary, affordability and the mostly unquantifiable "city scene."
Cities got the edge if the unemployment rate was lower than 7 percent and the average one-bedroom apartment fell within the recommended 25 percent of gross median income.
"With a significant percentage of the Mile High City population in the 25- to 29-year-old range, low unemployment and high median income, Denver soars to the top of the list," Apartments.com president Dick Burke said.
The key data that put Denver at the top of the list included the average one-bedroom rent of $1,248; unemployment rate of 4.3 percent; median income of $64,267; and median age of 31.5 years.
Since 2010, Colorado has been the fourth-youngest state in the U.S., due to the fact that most newcomers are young, economists say. About 11.9 percent of the population is between the ages of 25 and 29.
But new college graduates should be realistic about what they will find if they move to metro Denver, Colorado Division of Housing economist Ryan McMaken said.
"The weather is nice, there are parks everywhere, lots of young people with dogs. The stuff that is not denominated in dollar values is going to be really attractive to a young person," he said. "The stuff that is denominated in dollar values, however, is going to be less attractive."
For example, he said, to live comfortably in a one-bedroom apartment, the new college grad would have to make not less than $47,500 a year.
"If you are expecting to move here and get a one-bedroom apartment and live on your own, unless you have a pretty decent job, that probably is not realistic," he said.
Odds are, however, that young arrivals with skills will find work, particularly if their newly minted degrees are in engineering or computer science, or other technology segments where demand is high, Kelley said.
Josh Wright, a data analyst for the economic and labor market data firm EMSI, said metro Denver has 24 percent more workers in occupations that require a college degree or technical training than the national average, ranking it seventh among the top 50 metro areas in the U.S.
Only San Jose, Calif., Washington, D.C., Boston-Cambridge, Mass., San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma, Wash., and Austin, Texas, have a greater concentration of skilled jobs.
EMSI projects that 12,687 jobs in skilled occupations will be added in the Denver metro area in 2014, ranking it 15th among the top 50 metros.
"You see a large number of software developers, accountants, civil engineers, computer analysts," he said. "These are high-skill, well-educated workers that Denver has a pretty abundant supply of, and they are making good wages."
But not everyone arrives with the skills to take jobs, particularly in fields where critical shortages have emerged as companies slowly move manufacturing back to the U.S.
Schools such as Front Range Community College are trying to fill the gap through job-specific training programs.
George Newman, director of the precision machining technology program at Front Range Community College, said the school has had two career fairs this year. At each one, 24 represented companies had machining capability in their manufacturing processes. A third fair is scheduled May 22.
"Each time, there are almost as many companies as there are candidates, which kind of tells you where the problem is," said Newman.
Larry Hartman, senior manufacturing engineer at Boulder-based Mountainside Medical, which makes surgical instruments for orthopedic and spinal procedures, said the demand for machinists and molders is overwhelming.
"A company that we sold one of our machines to last week, they sent me a text the next day saying, 'Do you have any young moldmakers/machinists? We are hiring right now,' " said Hartman, who helps train workers who have received their initial education at Front Range.
Precision machining jobs pay between $25,400 and $62,000, depending on experience. But because relatively little manufacturing has been taking place in the U.S., there are few trained workers waiting in the wings to replace people such as Hartman, 59, a machinist and moldmaker his entire career.
But Hartman is encouraged by training programs to shape a new generation of workers.
"The Front Range is continuing to grow because the skilled labor force is moving here," he said. "It is a wonderful place to live, and now we have the training facilities to support that."
