Local rescue hopes to help Buddy get lucky
Buddy weighed a whopping 4 pounds when someone took him to OC Animal Care, saying he was a stray that had been found.
The 7-week-old pup, thought to be a Chihuahua mix, had a splint on his leg when he was dropped off, along with multiple abscesses from puncture wounds. His right front leg was broken.
After receiving an email from OC Animal Care to its rescue partners seeking help with Buddy, Lovebugs Rescue stepped in, said a volunteer with the Corona del Mar-based rescue.
Buddy was taken to the rescue's veterinarian, where he underwent his first surgery to clean and dry the abscesses. He has four draining tubes in him and is receiving treatment at home in the form of hot compresses. Once the wounds heal, Buddy's leg injury will be addressed, the rescue said.
The reason for Buddy's injuries is unknown, but the rescue says it suspects he was attacked by another dog.
More information about Buddy and updates on his condition are available on Lovebugs' Facebook page. Or look on Buddy's own Facebook page.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

#2xSP: 5.30-6.5
Alright we're back here for another week of #2xSP. We're off to a pretty good start halfway through week seven. Here's what we're working with:
17-10 record
24 quality starts
And now here's who we're working with this week (with team wRC+ in parentheses):
RHP Junior Guerra – 18.1% ESPN – v. STL (116), @PHI (75)
Guerra's a 31-year-old rookie who has put together a pretty nice first run through the NL with a 3.30 ERA through five starts. He's got a 3.15 FIP, exactly a strikeout per inning and has allowed just two home runs through 30 innings thus far. Like a lot of week's we're sacrificing a pretty tough matchup for a really good one on the other side. Guerra's PITCHf/x profile is plenty interesting, as he throws in the mid 90s with a slider and a split. The fastball is nothing to write home about in terms of results (.870 OPS against), but the split and curve both carry OPS marks against in the .300s. The split also has an excellent swinging-strike rate of 21 percent. So with that and a solid heater — at least velocity wise — I like him as a decent option this week. Read the rest of this entry »

Skip to comments.More Possible Obamacare Fallout--Child Support Extended to Age 26
Posted on 08/09/2012 9:22:45 AM PDT by AbolishCSEU
Health Care Bill Closer to Reality, Child Support to be Extended to 26 by W.F. Price on June 28, 2012
The Supremes have set the stage for the full implementation of Obamacare, and yet people are not fully aware of the consequences of this enormous, bloated bill.
A provision of Obamacare that divorced fathers ought to pay close attention to is the extension of dependent children to age 26 (from Cornells law blog):
(Excerpt) Read more at the-spearhead.com ...
And just to pre-address the "stay married to a good woman and you won't have to worry about this" crowd, today's mostly narcissistic, feminazi Western women are fully trained in how to work the "women and children hit hardest" system/racket, especially in BLUE states. The comments in this article are fascinating.
This MAY make alot of SCUMBAG divorcing(sp?) fathers turn into John List.
Aren't child support laws state based?
Although this article makes no sense, I guess it is implying that men are now going to have to pay child support until kids are 26????? Or is it saying something else?
In Kansas its to age 18 or when the child graduates from HS whichever is later except that if the obligee has held back the child in school which makes him/her graduate at the age of 19, and the obligor was not involved in the decision, then it ends at 18.
How are you going to pay child support if you don't have a job.
There goes the black male vote.
How can you own a gun if you can't pay your child support.
/future sarcasm
Yes but they tend to adopt other state's policies; especially BLUE states as "progressive." Also there are federal INCENTIVES for the highest amount of CS collected. So, for example, in NYS, if a father gets downsized in this economy, he can do an exercise in futility called going to court and filing for a downward modification. Which will take about three months to get on most court calendars. At that time a preliminary hearing will result and it will often be between 9 and 12 months before a downward mod is even considered.
That whole time the original CS amount from when he was employed continues to tick away on the meter and automatically puts him in arrears with penalties and interest should he not be able to have gainful employment almost immediately.
Downward mods are usually denied even though there is a substantial loss of income on the payors side (if said payor is a white male in particular; all other "classes" usually get cut a break).
My hubby pays $1000 a month (no arrears—he has never missed a penny)to his ex wife and earns $15 an hour. After NYS outrageous taxes, he's lucky to bring home $200 a week and this will continue, under the age 26 guidelines, for the next 17 years—at which time he will be 61 years old. In the meantime she has remarried a guy who makes 80K a year and she earns more than my hubby does. I earn slightly more than his ex-wife.
Usually black males are not held to the same level of expectation as white males are; neither are the few females who are ordered to pay CS. Call it "Affirmative Action Based Child Support Collection"
I think you're confused.
You are confusing what we know as court ordered Child Support with Obamanasty's ACA that requires children up to age 26 te be covered under their parents insurance.
Those rules are getting rarer and rarer. Most moms know that if they can get their children on ADHD meds and labeled as "special needs" aka for the most part "lack of discipline," they can collect CS well beyond 18 and past the age of 21. Therefore the "child" takes continual remedial grade school/high school non-acredited college courses well past 19 and can continue to collect CS and college funds from dear old dad. The community colleges in particular, LOVE this cash cow, by the way.
Well, lets see how this will go over with MEN, that Obunga is already having a problem with.. OH, BTW, if kids are minors until 26, then they shouldn't be able to VOTE, DRINK, DRIVE, until they reach their majority, which Oblather says is now, 26... 20'somethins are going to love this..
It doesn't actually "require" the kids to be covered to 26 does it? It requires the insurance co. to cover the child up to 26. It doesn't require dad or mom to keep him on the policy.
I have been pointing out the evils of child support/family court power for years, I know two father friends whose lives were ruined when their wife/wives ran off with their kids to another state, and the other another country, then successful sued them for child support for kids who were basically kidnapped from them.
There is no justice or Due Process. In Maryland they suspend the fathers license over CS then arrest them for driving to the courthouse for hearings, or arrest them for not showing up at the court house for hearings.
I got fed up with Judge Judy because she is obsessed with CS.
After all, what isn't more "vote grabbing" then telling the soccer moms that they will all be able to collect that cash from dad up through Junior's 26th birthday? It is does not go unheeded that more and more adult "children" are living at home, playing xbox all day long instead of going out and working in an entry level job no matter how menial. You know, the things we used to do when we were 18.
There have already been a number of judges routinely ordering fathers to pay out-of-state or private school college tuition for their over-18 children, even when cheaper options were available.
Remember, Obamacare wasn't going to "require" us to get rid of our doctors; it wasn't going to "require" death panels; the penalty for not having insurance wasn't a tax; the cost of insurance would go down and all other falacies that went along with it.
Nothing against extracurricular activities but when a child is doing nothing but kicking a soccer ball around (and tens of other activities) on dad's time, said child has zero bonding time and feel for dad's activities. Just another control mechanism.
She works at Child Protective Services so she made a phoney report and charged hubby with "age inappropriate work" for allowing a 11, 9 and 5 year old to empty their room's waste paper baskets. And it STUCK with her office cronies (he was placed on the NYS Child Abuse and Maltreatment Register) until I got it reversed after 6 months of paperwork and contacting local representatives. They reviewed the report and agreed that it was "unfounded" due to Malicious Mother syndrome. We no longer see them as they have "new" daddy now (google: Parental Alienation)
Oh Good God!...This is beyond ridiculous. Considering a third of all Americans are recieving some form of welfare from the government!
There is so much wrong with this feminist diatribe that I don't know where to start.
First, 90% of divorce filings in this country are either done by the wife, or by the husband after being pushed to it by the wife.
Second, Brinig and Allen note that the number one determinant of who files for divorce is who gets custody of the kids (with state-sanctioned cash and prizes). Child support is routinely drastically over-estimated, and custodial mothers are allowed to spend "child" support on anything they want, not just on necessary expenditures for the children.
Third, despite the misnomer of "no-fault" divorce, the husband is usually required to give half of his assets and over half of his income to a wife who divorced him through "no fault" of his own. This explains why 90% of divorces are pushed by women.
Fourth, the old "cheating and beating" excuse for divorcing men amounts to maybe 1/3rd of divorce justifications.
You might want to read Dalrock or my blog Christian Men's Defense Network to learn the truth. You might also want to read Baskerville's book Taken Into Custody. You are simply parroting the lines that statists and feminists use to forcible separate fathers from their children in order to usurp the role of fatherhood by the state.
Considering that brain studies show that the human brain does not fully mature until 25, this could be a good thing... especially if we all still lived on farms and had lots of chores to be done. Seriously, we could use some help painting the house this summer.... my youngest is off sitting by his apartment pool....
AbolishCSEU, that story is so common place now. "Child support" and "alimony" are simply welfare by other means, and most divorces are the result of feminist women desiring to free themselves from the moral constraints of traditional marriage, with state-sanctioned cash and prizes for so doing.
How someone can divorce another for "no fault" (as the laws now read) and then demand that the person she is divorcing gives her more than half his income, is absolutely astounding. Funny that none of these left-wing "social justice" advocates ever talk about that blatant injustice.
Or the court puts a man in jail for "contempt". Been there, done that. After a heart attack and a failed business and a daughter who was living with me but whose mother insisted on the $500 a month to subsidize the SS "disability" she receives, not to mention the additional $200 a month she was getting for having a "minor child". They do make it impossible to get a reduction and I did continue to pay the $250 a month I could afford, but it made no difference. It took me 96 days (on a 180 day sentence) to borrow enough money and get a hearing to get out of jail. I have the e-mail from the prosecutor confirming that I owe nothing and I will never delete it. It is admissible as evidence if ever needed.
Check the laws in New Jersey. In order to end Child Support, you have to file for Emancipation. It cost me an additional $5000 in attorney fees.
I didn't know this until I had to renew my passport. I received a letter stating it was rejected, based on CS. It took me two months to get this sorted out. Finally, received my Passport and money back from New Jersey.
You should print that e-mail and frame it. Then you will never lose it! (in emergency break glass)
SOP in divorce decrees- whoever has a job and/or insurance has to keep the kid(s) on their policy.
It is unfortunately a little-known fact that family/divorce courts are considered legally exempt from the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The reason is that they are statutorily classified as "courts of equity," rather than "courts of law." And courts of equity are assumed to be exempt from the restrictions placed on courts of law.
The result is that divorce court judges, many of whom are crooked and/or hard-core radical feminists, routinely violate Constitutionally protected rights to free speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to due process, right to habeus corpus, right to presumption of innocence, etc.
In fact, in several states, men accused of not paying child support or alimony are denied their right to an attorney and summarily thrown into prison without trial. Good luck ever getting out if you can't contact a lawyer.
Sadly, both parties support this system in part because it channels a lot of money to people with political connections, and in part because going after so-called "dead-beat dads" appeals to female voters.
Right on, my youngest two boys are 25, 24 this year, they are going to be really giddy about handing me the keys to their new cars, that they paid for..
This will piss them off once again, because they both had to face down the Satan Disciple Professors, at their prospective Commie Universities..
This should get the vote of any NON-brain dead male in America regardless of minority or majority group.
Great parenting, carlo3b! Kick them out of the nest, with love! My dad did it to me at age 21, and I'm a female! I had to keep my husband from putting the pillow under the ass of ours. Our son earned his own way through the doctorate. Thank you, Dad, where you are! Wish more American kids had dads....
I been telling alot of men/fathers in the minority community alot of Obama past robots, about this and it's working. Obama is losing alot of men votes.
I even made a alittle video on this and the impacts it will have on millions.
I did the best I could, but it cuts to the point ?

Grandma's Popovers Recipe
Still warm from the oven, popovers are always a fun accompaniment to a homey meal. I was raised on these - my grandmother often made them for our Sunday dinners. The recipe could not be simpler. -Debbie Terenzini, Lusby, Maryland
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Beat eggs and milk; whisk into dry ingredients just until combined. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes. Grease cups of a popover pan well with butter or oil; fill cups of two-thirds full with batter.
- 2. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° (do not open oven door). Bake 15 minutes longer or until deep golden brown (do not underbake).
- 3. Run a table knife or small metal spatula round edges of cups to loosen if necessary. Immediately remove popovers from pan; prick with a small sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 popovers.

Fonteyn, Dame Margot
Dame Margot Fonteyn (fŏntān´), 1919–91, English ballerina. Fonteyn was for many years prima ballerina assoluta of the Royal Ballet. Her original name was Margaret Hookham. In 1934 she joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet School, and in the same year she made her debut as a soloist. She became prima ballerina of the Vic-Wells Ballet in 1935. Fonteyn gained a reputation for expressive acting and versatility, creating such roles as Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty and Agathe in Les Demoiselles de la Nuit. Her performances in Cinderella,Giselle,Sylvia, and The Firebird were also outstanding. Sir Frederick Ashton created a number of major ballets especially for Fonteyn, among them Symphonic Variations (1946) and Ondine (1958). She was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1956. Fonteyn's international reputation reached an unprecedented height after 1962, when she began her partnership with the Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev.
See her autobiography (1976); biographies by K. Money (1974) and M. Daneman (2004).

[caption id="attachment_67953" align="alignleft" width="394"] Gary and Jennifer Buffo, president and chief operating officer of Pure Luxury Transportation[/caption]
NAPA -- Pure Luxury Transportation is establishing a Napa Valley base of operations for up to a quarter of its 100-plus limousines, sedans, SUVs, buses and, soon, motorcoaches as part of a Bay Area expansion plan amid a double-digit increase in revenue last year.
After operating the company for 22 years, owners Gary and Jennifer Buffo also are bringing in high-profile local hospitality to help manage current and planned growth.
Pure Luxury (707-775-2920, pureluxury.com) leased a nearly 13,000-square-foot facility on 2.5 acres at 30 Case Ct. in south Napa and plans to move in February about 30 of the vehicles there from the Petaluma headquarters and hire 40 to 50 local drivers, detailers and, eventually, dispatchers, according to Jennifer Buffo, chief operating officer. She expects the facility to be fully staffed in a year's time.
"We found that our clientele and corporate clients based out of Napa Valley want a local company," she said.
The company already chauffeurs individuals, small groups and large numbers of event-goers in Napa County.
For example, Pure Luxury for at least the last couple of years has been moving 900 to 1,000 vintners and their guests for Napa Valley Vintners' Premiere Napa Valley trade auction, this year set for Feb. 23, and 1,500 to 3,300 wine enthusiasts for the Auction Napa Valley charity fundraiser, set for June 1.
"In the hospitality industry, you work with organizations that reflect your brand and level of service one would expect from NVV," spokeswoman Cate Conniff said.
Pure Luxury faces competition from luxury-transportation companies already based in Napa Valley, according to Michael Palmer, general manager of The Meritage Resort & Spa in south Napa. With its major expansion last year, the property has become a group-bookings powerhouse in the valley. This year, the hotel projects it will book 42,000 group room-nights, up from 32,000 booked in 2012.

If you're looking to put yourself outside of your comfort zone, save some money and grow as a person as well as a professional, teaching in South Korea provides a wonderful opportunity. With a culture almost completely opposite than that of a Western one, you will constantly be confronted by something completely new to you.
Discover Buddhist temples hidden in the mystery of early morning mountain fog, walk through Seoul's bustling city sidewalks and neon-lit nights, and nod your head in respect to your boss in the morning and watch him dance while singing karaoke at night.

Job Types
Government Sponsored Programs
Qualities like higher job security, lower actual teaching hours and excess paid vacation make working in a public school a bit more ideal. While these positions tend to be more competitive with slightly lower pay, your application will be made stronger by having a teaching certificate like a TESOL or TEFL.
While some view being the only foreigner working at your school as a negative and some view it as a positive, public school provides the unique opportunity to truly immerse yourself into Korean culture. You'll work alongside a co-teacher, coordinating classroom instruction time and lesson plans. Public schools hire about six months before their start dates; the beginning of March and September. Pay starts at USD$1,800 - $2,000. The various government-sponsored programs are listed below:
- Located in Seoul
- Start dates: End of February and end of August
- Hire before arriving
- Work hours: 22 hours of actual working hours, 40 work hours a week
- Pay based on qualifications (A Bachelor's degree and sometimes one year of experience.)
- Minimum qualification for pay starting at two million Korean Wong.
- A currently valid elementary or secondary teachers certification.
- A TESOL or TOFL or English teaching certificate comprised of 100 hours.
- Located in the Gyeonggi Province--the area surrounding Seoul. You can usually take a bus/ taxi or subway to get into Seoul in about 45 minutes.
- Start dates: End of February and end of August
- Hire before arriving
- Work hours: 22 hours of actual teaching, 40 hours a week
- Pay based on qualifications ( Either a TESOL, TEFL or CELTA, a bachelor's degree in education, or master's degree, teacher certificate.)
- Minimum qualifications for pay starting at 2.1 million Korean Won.
- Covers all other regions, preference given on first-come first-serve basis
- Start dates: End of February and end of March
- Hire before arriving
- Work hours: 22 hours of actual teaching, 40 hours a week
- Required to have TEFL/TESOL certification in order to teach, and minimum of 100 hours of prior teaching experience
- Minimum qualifications for pay starting at 2 million Korean Won/month
- Must be a currently enrolled university or college student
- Required to teach for a minimum of 6 months (can extend to a full year)
- Teach English to elementary-aged children during after-school classes (15 hr/week)
- Start dates: September for fall, or March for spring
- Monthly stipend: 1.5 million Korean Won
Recruitment Companies
It's pretty essential to go through a recruiter in order to secure your placement. Once you register on their website, they will send you information about job openings. They're a great resource for any questions you might have regarding the process. Some recommended recruitment companies are: Footprints Recruiting, Reach To Teach, and Adventure Teaching.
Most people begin teaching at universities once they've taught in South Korea for at least a year and have made contacts. However, if you have a master's degree you qualify for teaching at the university level. Extremely low working hours and equal pay make working at universities very appealing.
However, one discouraging detail about beginning at the university level is that you will need to find your own apartment -- opposite from public or private school. You'll also have to provide the key deposit for your apartment, a deposit on average of about US$5,000 that'll be returned to you at the end of your lease -- a potentially huge expense for teachers who are relocating from abroad.
Private Lessons
Under the conditions of your E-2 visa, you are not permitted to teach private lessons. However, this restriction rarely prevents foreigners from providing the service and stories of people getting caught providing private instruction read more like myths. The best way to get a private lesson is through friends who know of an opportunity.
Also, you may be asked by a co-worker who knows someone looking for a private tutor. Make sure you trust whoever helps you to get a private as he or she can use it against you if you ever have a conflict. Teaching privately is not a big risk, but you should take precautions. Be discreet and always try to meet at the student's apartment.
Private Schools:
Because they are constantly hiring and tend to offer higher pay and shorter working hours, private schools, called hagwons are a good option for people looking to spend a year abroad and save as much money as possible. In contrast to public schools, many other foreigners work in hagwons, providing an easier transition into a new culture.
Some beginner teachers welcome the fact that most hagwons have pre-prepared lesson plans, and some find it limits creativity and individuality in the classroom. While the working hours are shorter than public schools and start later in the day, typically after 1 p.m., you only get about ten days of vacation time and will inevitably find yourself looking longingly out of your classroom window at all the other people enjoying their public holiday.
However, if you like sleeping in and starting later in the day, higher pay and a less strenuous application process-- or if you're looking to get to South Korea quickly-- this option might be the best for you. If you choose to go with a hagwon, your best bet is to go with a larger, nationwide one like YBM, Pagoda or CDI. If you go with a smaller hagwon, remember that some are better than others and a little patience and research could make a world of difference in the quality of your experience. Starting pay at hagwons is about US $2000- US $2,200 with a work week of about 35 hours.
- Hagwons will usually hire anyone with a college degree. The minimum salary is typically higher, usually 2.1-2.5 million Korean Won.
- Typical work hours begin in the afternoon, because these are after-school specialized English Institution. Usually anywhere from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. with a typical workday consisting of 6 hours or more, depending on the school.
- Hiring year round, usually through a recruiter.
Finding a Job
When and Where to Look for Jobs:
Seoul and Busan provide the most popular settings for English teachers in South Korea. With its vibrant night life and trendy restaurants lining the streets busied by people of different ethnicities, the capital city, Seoul, offers the most eclectic mix of options in South Korea. A quieter city bordering the Sea of Japan, Busan--home to the popular vacation spot, Haeundae beach--is a bit more low-key and provides a nice compromise between busy and relaxed.
If you're taking this year to reflect in peace and quiet, consider Gyeongju, a small city with a big lotus pond and a rich historical heritage. No matter your taste, Korea has a multitude of options and teaching jobs everywhere in the country. Public schools typically hire at the start of their semester -- March 1st and September 1st -- and accept applications six months prior. Private institutes hire year round.
Working Visas in Korea:
Most foreigners working at public or private school qualify for the school-sponsored E-2 visa. The E-2 visa will give you permission to work in South Korea for a year with a single entry. For a fee, you can get your single entry status changed to multiple entries, allowing you the option to travel in and out of the country.
The first step to obtaining your E-2 visa is to first get a contract with an employer. Once you have begun that process, you will need to send away for your documents such as an apostilled copy of both your diploma and a required FBI criminal background check. If you want to speed up the process, it's okay to go ahead and send away for your background check before securing a contract.
To obtain an apostille--which is a government seal authenticating documents for use overseas-- you will need to take a copy of your diploma to the notary public found at your local bank. Bring your original diploma so that the copy can be confirmed and stamped. Once it has been notarized, you can send the copy off to be apostilled. If you're an American citizen, it must be apostilled in the state where the document was issued. For a list of locations, visit ESL Starter.
In order to increase the safety of Korean students and keep sexual predators out of the country, the South Korean government now requires an FBI background check. In order to complete the application, you will need to be fingerprinted at your local police station. If you're currently in Korea, you can be fingerprinted at the local Korean police station. You will need to mail these documents, along with a check for $18 US and a note asking for the documents to be officiated by providing a "signature from a Division Officer for the purpose of obtaining a Federal Apostille."
Once all of your documents are completed and sent to your employer and they receive confirmation of visa issuance, they will send it to you through the mail. When you receive the confirmation, you will need to either mail or deliver your passport to your local consulate in order to be stamped with your visa. It is a requirement that once you arrive in Korea, you have to undergo a medical check for TBPE, Cannabiniod and HIV. Once completed, your school will help you obtain a residency permit within 90 days. To learn more about Korean visas, visit VISA HQ.
In order to get a teaching job in Korea, the minimum qualification is a bachelor's degree. Only native English speakers are highly considered. Though, if you want to increase your chances of working in a public school, or increase your salary in a private school, you will need to couple that diploma with a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA certificate. These courses are available online, but make sure they are approved by the program or school you are applying to. If you are an EPIK teacher, it is required to hold a TEFL/TESOL certification, as well as 100 hours of previous teaching experience.
Need to Know
Salary & Cost of Living:
In general, hagwons offer the most amount of money starting out--about US $2,000-- while public schools offer a lower starting salary--about US $1,800-$2,000. In public school, the pay tends to be more when you factor in the low amount of actual working hours. Public and private school will provide your housing. Typically it's a self-contained studio ranging from medium-sized to small. The apartments in Seoul tend to by the smallest but there is also much more to do in Seoul thus limiting the actual time spent in the apartment.
While hagwons used to always re-pay you for your flight by either giving you a stipend or converting the actual ticket cost, as competition gets tighter, they are providing this service less and less. Public schools will always re-pay your airfare with a stipend about US$1,000. Along with a US$250 settling allowance, they will deposit the stipend into your account before your first paycheck. Before you leave, they will deposit another US$1,000 into your account for your outbound plane ticket, no matter the destination.
Overall, the cost of living in South Korea is very cheap, but keep in mind that if you live in a bigger city, the cost can get a bit more expensive. However, since your apartment is paid for and all you have to take care of is your utilities and cell-phone bill, it's safe to say that nearly 80% of your paycheck is expendable. You can also supplement your paychecks by teaching private lessons with an hourly pay ranging from about US$20- $50. The most enticing part of the deal comes when you complete your contract as most contracts provide an extra month's bonus upon completion, meaning the last time you get paid, you actually get paid twice. Hello Southeast Asia. Or student loans.
Depending on how much you want to work and how frugal you are with your money, you can travel and save during your time in South Korea.
Classroom & Work Culture:
Upon discovering Korea for the first time, foreigners always seem baffled by the juxtaposition of a country so technologically advanced against the backdrop of a society with more traditional ways. Many equate social graces in South Korea to that of the United States during the 1950's. At the same time, with wireless connection abound and state-of-the art technology in the classroom, the country is not lacking in modern day conveniences.
This provides an interesting mix and a confused expatriate community trying to understand how it all coexists. And while there is so much to learn about Korean etiquette, it is essential to begin by understanding the importance of respecting your superiors and the Confucian principles that the society is founded on.
Remember that Korea can be many things at once. While you discover all the complexities of this fascinating culture, do so with respect. Nod your head in a slight bow to your superiors and show them you appreciate their help by bringing in doughnuts or coffee to your first day of work. Maybe you shutter at the idea of "sucking up," but it is very appreciated in this culture and will instantly get you recognized as being savvy.
There is always someone to go to with a complaint and going over that person can be viewed as disrespectful and may result in a bumpy beginning to your year. Also, it's a good idea to accept invitations from Korean co-workers to go out for dinner. It's polite and you will probably enjoy yourself and discover local gems in your new city.
Because Eastern culture is so different than that of Western culture, there is so much to learn in terms of etiquette. However, understanding the importance of respect will make the inevitable learning process fluid and fun. Once you become privy to Korean culture, it's very likely that you will come away having learned a great deal from this fascinating country that can be so many things at once, full of contradiction.

i dont like the Specialzed Resolution Sport tires that came with my Rockhopper so i want to get some new ones and i need some suggestions.
something with good traction for steep climbs and sharp turns.
they dont need to be particularly fast rolling, as long as theres no more resistance than on the Resolution Sports i have now.
ill be using them to ride moderately difficult XC trails, nothing particularly aggressive as im still learning how to ride.
im new to all this and not sure what sort of compound to go with or what size(s) to use etc. the tires i have now are 2 inches wide. should i get the same size tires front and rear? should i get the same type of tire front and rear?
im thinking of spending about $30 per tire.
thanks in advance for your help

Maine governor addresses gun-rights rally
AUGUSTA, Maine — Gov. Paul LePage spoke to more than 100 people who turned out for an outdoor gun-rights rally at the State House despite the snowstorm and bitterly cold temperatures.
LePage drew cheers when he told the crowd Friday morning that their rights to have guns won't be abridged while he's governor.
LePage mingled with the crowd after his brief remarks and shook hands with many of those attending, despite a 5-degree temperature in Augusta and a stiff wind that blew the snow.
The rally came two days after a coalition formed in the wake of the Dec. 14 Connecticut school shootings announced its support for state legislation to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people, limit magazine capacity, have universal background checks and promote gun safety.
Second Amendment rally draws 300 to NJ Statehouse
TRENTON, N.J. — In dreary weather outside the New Jersey Statehouse, hundreds rallied Friday for the Second Amendment and against the state's gun control laws, among the nation's toughest.
Amid the crowd of about 300, some carried signs that read: "We're good guys with a gun," ''If guns kill people, cars cause drunk driving" or "No guns (equals) tyranny."
Evan Nappen, a lawyer who has written three books on gun laws, was among the first to speak.
"I am really sick of gun owners being scapegoated every time the system fails," he said, adding that New Jersey's gun laws were "oppressive."
Gov. Chris Christie declined an invitation to address the rally, citing a scheduling conflict. His staff said he was attending meetings outside Trenton in the morning, but planned to be in the Statehouse later in the day.
The governor has refused to say whether he supports stricter gun laws. Christie created a task force to study gun-related violence after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. He also has called for better treatment options for people with mental illness, but hasn't been specific.
Organizer Frank Fiamingo said he hopes to discuss the issue with the governor soon.
Democratic Sen. Barbara Buono, who is running for governor, has called on Christie to take a position on gun control. In kicking off her campaign a week ago, she vowed to "do what the current governor has been unwilling to do, take on the gun lobbyists who are standing in the way of protecting our children and keeping our streets safe."
The Legislature's two most conservative members, Sen. Michael Doherty and Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll, both Republicans, spoke to the crowd.
"I want you to know there's a number of us in the Legislature that do agree with you 100 percent and we're going to be fighting every step of the way to protect your constitutional rights, law-abiding citizens taking care of their families, taking care of their homes," said Doherty, who represents parts of Hunterdon, Somerset and Warren counties.
Gun rights supporters show force at Wash. Olympia
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Supporters of gun rights in Washington are showing their force at the state Capitol.
A few hundred proponents rallied in Olympia on Friday, carrying guns and signs while decrying efforts to restrict weapon sales. State lawmakers have proposed a variety of ways to combat gun violence this year, including an expansion of background checks and allowing teachers to carry firearms.
Gun advocates say new restrictions on gun sales and magazine capacities would infringe on Second Amendment rights. Some suggested that it would be better to eliminate "gun-free" zones or strengthen punishments for those who commit crimes with firearms.

Prairie senior basketball standout Heather Corral sat out Friday's game against Kelso because of swelling in her left knee and is expected to have an MRI on Monday.
"It was suggested that we hold her out just to make sure," Prairie coach Al Aldridge said. "We wanted to error on the side of caution and make sure we do everything we can to get her ready for the postseason."
Corral, who has signed with the University of Washington, tore the ACL in her left knee last season at the Class 3A bi-district tournament semifinals and missed the state tournament.
Art Corral, Heather's father, confirmed Saturday that X-rays have been taken and there is no structural damage. The hope is the MRI comes back with good news for Heather, and she can rehabilitate the knee in time for all, or most, of the postseason.
Prairie plays Friday in the Class 3A GSHL district tournament championship game, then will have another week off before opening the bi-district tournament.
Corral reported that she felt her knee give out a little in Prairie's win over Camas on Jan. 27. And in Tuesday's win over Mountain View, she felt pain in her knee when she made a couple of cuts.
There was some slight swelling in her knee after Tuesday's game, and Prairie did not use Corral in Friday's 64-30 win over Kelso.

I'm converting all of my old vhs home video's to dvd by recording them with a dvd recorder.
How do I rip a DVD once it is burned?
Last edited by SlyCy; 01-08-2008 at 07:37 PM.
the hardest part is getting them from vhs to your computer, you can do all the work in windows media player. Just load it up, connect your camcorder or whatever your vhs source is, and start recording it. I don't have the exact steps, because as soon as I plug our camcorder in, it just starts ripping it.
Then we got a mac and it became even easier.

Are you using a usb connection from your camcorder to your computer?
We are using firewire.
I edited my question as I didn't ask it right the first time.
Okay, I didn't really follow that little conversation, so here's what I do.
I have a combo VCR/DVD burner unit that can play a VHS tape and burn it straight to a blank DVD in the same unit. If you don't have that, you can do the same thing by hooking up your VCR to a DV video camera and having it record what the VCR is playing. (If your camera has a hard drive, then skip to the end now.)
Once you have a burned DVD of your VHS tape, put it in your computer and rip it as whatever kind of file you like. If you're looking to rip a DVD to your hard drive, the best program available (for free) is DVD Shrink. It can take a DVD, compress it to the appropriate size, and turn it either into an ISO (for burning to a regular DVDR) or a VIDEO_TS folder for viewing and/or further processing.
You can download it here: (I've checked the file for viruses, etc: it's clean.)
DVD Shrink v126.96.36.199 (freeware)
Personally, I don't want to fill up my hard drive with movies indefinitely, since they take up a ton of space (even as a heavily-compressed ISO file, a movie takes up nearly 4.5 gigs). I like to burn my movies to a regular blank DVD-R and put them in a disc book. For that, you can use a ton of different programs. Essentially anything can burn an ISO to a disc, but I like using DVD Decrypter, since it's made for dealing with ISO files.
Get it here:
DVD Decrypter download DVDDecrypter
These two programs even interact with each other, so if you two optical drives, you can put the DVD you want to copy in one drive and a blank disc in the other, hit 'go', and when you come back in a couple hours you'll have a freshly-burned copy waiting for you to mail off to grandma and grandpa or whomever. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM. And remember, make sure you're using all this stuff for legal activities! *cough*

I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

Thanks ornryactor, that sounds like it should do the trick. More later if it doesn't.
Thanks also brianhos!
Are you wanting to leave it as a DVD or encode it to an .avi or something?
the process is somewhat the same, but there are some differences depending on what you want to do.
Any other good software packages out there for DVRs?

This is a bump. What does everyone use besides Windows Media for editing videos?

His family destroyed, he devotes his entire being to developing Soulminder, a technology that might have saved his son as he wavered on the edge of death.

Years of experimentation finally end in successbut those who recognize Soulminder's possibilities almost immediately corrupt its original concept to pursue dangerous new frontiers: body-swapping, obstruction of justice, extortion, and perhaps even immortality.

Rumors are swirling that the iconic Prince is heading to Austin this weekend for the SXSW Music Festival.
According to rumors, Prince and his 22-piece band will be performing on a custom stage at the La Zona Rosa.
La Zona Rosa only holds approximately 1200 people.
Of course, these are all rumors, and if we had a penny for every time Prince was supposed to perform somewhere, we would be millionaires.
Prince has 10-platinum selling albums and 40 singles that have broken the Top 40 charts.

Mel Evans, Associated Press
RIVER EDGE, N.J. — Each Sunday for decades, Roman Catholic priests have offered the blessing — "Lord be with you." And each Sunday, parishioners would respond, "And also with you."
Until this month.
Come Nov. 27, the response will be, "And with your spirit." And so will begin a small revolution in a tradition-rich faith.
At the end of the month, parishes in English-speaking countries will begin to use a new translation of the Roman Missal, the ritual text of prayers and instructions for celebrating Mass. International committees of specialists worked under a Vatican directive to hew close to the Latin, sparking often bitter protests by English speakers over phrasing and readability. After years of revisions negotiated by bishops' conferences and the Holy See, dioceses are preparing anxious clergy and parishioners for the rollout, one of the biggest changes in Catholic worship in generations.
"We're tinkering with a very intimate and personal moment," said the Rev. Richard Hilgartner, executive director of the worship office for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "It's public worship, it's the church's official public prayer, but for the individual faithful, it's one of the primary means of their encounter with the Lord."
The biggest challenge will be for priests, who must learn intricate new speaking parts — often late in their years of service to the church. At an Archdiocese of Newark training at St. Peter the Apostle Church in River Edge, many clergy had just received a final published copy of the Missal, a thick hardcover bound in red, accompanied by an equally dense study guide. Earlier drafts had been available for orientation sessions that have been ongoing for months nationwide.
Many clergy are upset by the new language, calling it awkward and hard to understand. The Rev. Tom Iwanowski, pastor of St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Oradell and New Milford, N.J., turned to the section of the new missal that calls funeral rites, "the fraternal offices of burial."
"How can I say those words? It doesn't make sense," said Iwanowski, who has been a priest for 36 years. "It separates religion from real life."
In the new translation, in the Nicene Creed, the phrase "one in Being with the Father," will change to "consubstantial with the Father." When a priest prays over the Holy Communion bread and wine, he will ask God for blessings "by sending down your spirit upon them like the dewfall."
The new missal grew out of changes in liturgy that started with the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings on modernizing the church that permitted Mass in local languages instead of Latin. Bishops in English-speaking countries created the International Commission on English in the Liturgy to undertake the translation. The panel produced a missal by 1973, but that version was considered temporary until better texts could be completed. As the commission worked to make the Mass more familiar in idiomatic English, some of the language strayed from the Latin. Also in some cases, the commission sought to use language that would be gender neutral.
The work took a new direction in 2001, when the Vatican office in charge of worship issued the directive Liturgiam Authenticam, or Authentic Liturgy, which required translations closer to the Latin. The Vatican also appointed another committee, Vox Clara, or Clear Voice, to oversee the English translation, drawing complaints from some clergy and liturgists that the Vatican was controlling what should be a more consultative process. (Cardinal George Pell, the Sydney, Australia, archbishop and chairman of Vox Clara, has called the complaints baseless and ideologically driven.)

Now I've done praising the inker, I should mention I love the colours too. This many characters could have ended up being a jumbled bright mess, keeping it slightly sombre allows the detail to shine through without drowning out the overall message.
What I like about the composition of this piece is the slight skewing of the classic 'defeated heroes' cover with a villain standing amidst the body's of the fallen. Here it's more spaced out and naturalistic and gives a better representation of the aftermath of a superpowered battle. That and the poses not clearly showing everyone's face adds impact. It's a nice twist on a very common trope.
Like a Boss HAHA
that is an understatement. More like he owns them all now.

MailOnline Fantasy Football is the first and only Fantasy Football game to bring to you point scoring in all these competitions:
Premier League 2015-16
Champions League 2015-16 (Group stage onwards)
Europa League 2015-16 (Group stage onwards)
FA Cup 2015-16
Capital One Cup 2015-16
You will also have the opportunity to buy up to 4 of the best European players throughout the season from our Euro Scout codes, such as Ronaldo and Messi, who will also score points in the respective leagues!
The game will start scoring points on Saturday 8th August 2015 and will run through to the Champions League Final which is scheduled on Saturday 28th May 2016. Points will be scored based on the real-life performances of the selected football players in your fantasy football team.
You may enter 3 (three) teams per entrant. Any entrant found to have entered more than 3 (three) teams will be disqualified and removed from the game. You can join the game at any point throughout the competition. However you will not score points until your team is submitted (see 'Saving & Submitting Your Team' section, below).
Register to Play:
First, you'll need to register an account to play the game. Simply follow the instructions on the 'Register to Play' page, or if you're using the desktop version, sign up using your Facebook or Google account by clicking on the corresponding button on the navigation bar at the top of the page.
Click here to get started!
Name Your Team:
Once you have completed the 'Register to Play' page, you'll be asked to name your fantasy football team. You also need to choose whether to build the team yourself, or let the lucky dip pick a team for you. Please be responsible when naming your team and don't cause offence! Any team names that are deemed inappropriate or offensive will be disqualified and withdrawn from the game.
Join or Create a Mini-League:
By joining the game, you will automatically enter the 'Overall League' where you will compete against all other game players. However, you can also play in a mini-league where you can compete in a private group of friends or colleagues. You can create up to 3 mini-leagues and join up to 10.
Use your fantasy budget to pick a team using the real-life players in the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and the Capital One Cup. You can either manually pick a team using your football know-how, or use the 'Lucky Dip' option, where the computer picks a team for you.
...and DON'T FORGET TO SAVE your selections! You can make as many changes to your team as you like, but you can only score points for the team that you SAVE!
In order to have a complete team you must select 11 players and 4 substitutes from a budget of £135 million
Maximum Player Quota:
You can select a maximum of 3 football players from any 1 football club.
Choose from one of 7 possible formations - this will decide the shape of your team and how your budget is spent. You can change your formation whenever you want as long as you have enough transfers and budget available (see 'Transfers' section, below).
Please note: where appropriate, the game will remove from your team the lowest-scoring players in any given position. For example, when you change from a 4-4-2 to a 3-5-2 formation, your defender with the least points will be automatically removed from your defence. You can make as many changes to your formation as you like - only the final SAVED formation and player selections will take effect.
Up until the team submission deadline of 12:00 BST on Saturday 8 August 2015 there is a free transfer window - until this time, you can shuffle your team around to your heart's content without using any of your transfers. However, any transfers made after this time will be taken from your transfer allocation for that period.
All teams that are completed by the team submission deadline of 12:00 BST on Saturday 8 August 2015 will be submitted automatically. Please note: there will be a transfer lockdown for 10 minutes when the teams are being auto-submitted. You will not be able to make any changes to your team during this time.
Any teams that are incomplete, or entered after the team submission deadline will need to be manually submitted to start scoring points. To do this, first press the 'SAVE' button and then the 'SUBMIT' button which will appear on the team page once your team is FULLY built. If you do not save your changes, your player selections will not be recorded.
Buy wisely here and you'll be heading straight to the top of the league!
Need that Extra Boost? If so you will also be able to enter a 'Euro Scout' code which can allow you to purchase elite players from outside of the Premier League. You will have a selected list of 'Euro Scout' players to choose from. This list includes some of the best players in the world, such as Ronaldo, Messi and Robben.
To earn a Euro Scout player you will need the special codes. These special codes will be published by The Daily Mail and MailOnline on 4 separate occassions over the course of the coming season! The dates for these Euro Scout codes will be
Euro Scout Code 1 - Available from 10/09/2015. This code will expire on 24/09/2015. -EXPIRED-
Euro Scout Code 2 - Available from 01/01/2016. This code will expire on 15/01/2016. -EXPIRED-
Euro Scout Code 3 - Available from 04/02/2016. This code will expire on 19/02/2016. -EXPIRED-
Euro scout Code 4 - Available from 04/03/2016. This code will expire on 18/03/2016. -EXPIRED-
A 'Euro Scout' can allow you to buy 1 x player. You will need enough space within your team budget and these European Superstars will remain within you team until you finally transfer them out. You will be able to have multiple Superstars in your team at any one time but make sure you have the budget to do so.
Players brought into your team using the Euro Scout code will score points normally, based on their performances for their team in their respective domestic leagues and European competitions.
During the football season there will be power play codes published each month by the Daily Mail or MailOnline. The Power Play code lets you DOUBLE your points for one week per month.
When you enter the code into the game we will ask you which week in the month you would like to choose, you cannot edit your selection once it is made, so choose carefully! These codes will be published in conjunction with the start of every prize month.
All teams will receive 3 Transfers per month in total during the football season. These 3 transfers will be allocated on the Saturday before the first game week of every game month at 00:01 UK Time
Please note: you CANNOT carry transfers over from one Month to another.
Please note: you CANNOT carry transfers over from one game month to another.
Each week you can add 1 x additional transfer by inserting the 'Bonus Transfer Codes' into the game. The 'Bonus Transfer Codes' will be promoted during the football season and will be published by The Daily Mail and MailOnline every Tuesday.
You will need to enter the "Bonus Transfer Codes" in the box provided on the website to activate the Bonus Transfer feature.
Please note: you CANNOT carry bonus transfers over from one game month to another. ALL transfers still available at time of new transfers being allocated will be lost.
A free transfer window is in place until the auto-submission deadline of 12.00 BST on Saturday 8th August 2015. Transfers may be made for free until this date and will not count towards your transfer allocation. There will be a transfer lockdown for 10 minutes when the teams are being auto-submitted. You will not be able to make any changes to your team during this time.
Transfer Deadlines:
All transfers must be made before the published kick-off time of any match for the player(s) to be able to score points in that match. Players will only score points from the time/date that they are transferred into your team.
Every single team is automatically entered into the Overall Competition. However, you can also enter your team into a private mini-league for you and your friends and colleagues.
To do this, just log on to your team and visit the 'Join a League' page under the 'League' section of the website.
You can join up to 10 mini-leagues, however you can only be the chairman of 3 mini-leagues. Once you have joined a mini-league, you cannot be moved or deleted - so choose your leagues carefully!
The League of Leagues Competition can only be entered by mini-leagues that qualify with the minimum required number of 5 users. You may register your mini-league up until 22:59 BST on 4th March 2016. Any mini-leagues entered after this date, or any that do not have the minimum required number of teams, will not qualify for entry into the League of Leagues Competition.
Throughout the competition, you will have the chance to win Trophies. There are 10 Trophies in total to win before the game finishes. Any trophies that have been earned by a manager will be displayed on that manager's profile for everyone to see.
Trophies are awarded to the most skilled managers in the game, and not everyone will be able to earn them. Trophies include Manager of the Month awards and getting into the top 10 of the overall competition for 2 Months in a row.

The political arena decides what the elected "leaders" do. Not the people they are supposed to represent. Corruption is the key word. "legal" corruption. If what was being done to our country was anything but insane, our troops would be brought back from overseas and put on the borders of the USA. No pay cuts for the military or the vets.. No benefit cuts for them.. cut the contractors, cut the welfare to big corps. could go on...like I said. Insanity rules and runs our Govt.
