House approves government-wide $1.1T budget
WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House has approved a massive $1.1 trillion bill financing government agencies this year.
With none of the drama and conflict of recent budget battles, lawmakers approved the measure 359-67. The Democratic-led Senate plans to vote final approval later this week.
The 1,582-page bill provides money for virtually every federal agency, spending money on everything from airports to war. It eases many — but not all — of the automatic spending cuts that took effect last year.
The lack of drama flowed from the bipartisan agreement enacted in December that laid out spending totals for the next two years. The bill approved Wednesday filled in the details.
Lawmakers from both parties had little taste for an election-year standoff that might have triggered another government shutdown — which voters hated.

Louisianians Happiest, New Yorkers Most Miserable, National Study Finds
A study of state residents' happiness by professor Stephen Wu, assistant professor of economics at Hamilton College, finds New Yorkers the least happy of all — unfortunately, it didn't break out the difference between upstate and downstate, so we don't know if people in Park Slope or Staten Island are actually ecstatic while those in Rochester or Newburgh or Albany are mad as hell.
Wu's study found that people in poor states like Mississippi and Louisiana, which, despite chronic poverty, were a lot cheerier than in New York, which came out at the bottom of their list. His research ties into a new book by former Harvard president Derek Bok's "The Politics of Happiness"; both were interviewed today at great length (43 minutes), on WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show.
As someone living 25 miles north of Manhattan in a county with insane property taxes, (mine are mitigated because I own an apartment), I get it. My county lacks many of the things that make me really happy, some deeply personal, others less so, from no decent florists, few cafes or other cool, hip "third spaces", not enough sidewalks, lousy public transportation to the predictable — it's boring! I stay for an affordable quality of life and quick, easy access to Manhattan. I enjoy a great view of the Hudson River and would be hard pressed to give it up.
Any New Yorker paying crazy-high taxes to the clowns in Albany, who recently shot down gay marriage, also gets it.
Like my partner, I moved here primarily for work; my family and long-time friends are far away. I certainly do enjoy the amenities and culture of Manhattan, but I won't describe my experience here as one of relentless joy. It's too hard, too expensive and you need to hire and pay lawyers for some of the simplest transactions. With long and expensive commutes and tolls of $5-9 each way to cross almost every bridge or tunnel, even going to hang out with a friend face to face who lives some distance away from you can feel like a costly hassle.
I do like the weather, which some New Yorkers find appalling — try Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto winters! I find New York plenty sunny and the cold is nothing as long as the sun is shining; in Toronto, the "lake effect" ensures months of cloudy, gray days, no matter how sunny the day begins. Much as I hate New Yorkers' elbows-out pushiness, I do enjoy the variety of work and cultural opportunities.
Bok says that it's social relationships that make people happiest — friends, family, trust, enjoying your neighbors. Wu agrees, that connection is the bigger factor than just knowing lots of people.
Callers to the show, and Bok, suggested that the chronically ambitious — what Bok called "excessive expectations" — are de facto grumpy. New York City, certainly, attracts those who have extremely high expectations of themselves and others, making it easy to be disappointed about every five minutes if that's your style.
Time to lower the bar?

Review of one day's court filings in Tulsa, Oklahoma counties tells story of addiction
From the 21-year-old woman hooked on pain pills to the 72-year-old man arrested in the sale of them, the stories of drug and alcohol addiction are woven throughout the court filings in Oklahoma's two largest counties.
Of all felonies filed in Tulsa and Oklahoma counties on a single day chosen at random, six out of 10 were linked to drugs or alcohol, a review by the Tulsa World and The Oklahoman shows.
The World and The Oklahoman reviewed records of all felonies filed on Jan. 24, 2011, in both counties to determine which cases had some relationship to drug or alcohol abuse.
Out of 62 felony cases filed in the two counties on that day, 38 people were either charged with crimes directly involving drugs or alcohol, used substances while on probation or deferred sentences or committed crimes while under the influence.
Nearly all of the 38 people had been convicted of prior crimes. Several had been kicked out of drug court or sober living programs while others committed new crimes after they had been granted deferred sentences.
A Tulsa County case involved a man charged with drug possession who tested positive for amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, PCP and ecstasy. An Oklahoma County woman charged with selling pain pills sat in a lawn chair holding a child while doing business over the phone, court records state.
Defendants spanned all races and classes, though the majority were white and male.
Doug Drummond, first assistant district attorney for Tulsa County, said the figure is actually lower than what his office experiences.
"I would estimate 80 to 90 percent of our cases, including homicides and robberies, involve some link to illegal drugs or alcohol," Drummond said.
"Most of the murders and robberies in Tulsa County have some kind of nexus to drug use or trying to obtain or sell illegal drugs. They may be taking drugs or alcohol when the crime is committed. Victims are robbed and burglarized because someone is trying to support his or her drug habit."
Drummond said victims often get lost in the discussion about the relationship between substance abuse and crime.
"They are the ones who are hurt, either physically, emotionally or financially, by all of this, and no one seems to care," he said.
Scott Rowland, first assistant district attorney for Oklahoma County, said prosecutors try to determine motivations for crime when deciding how to handle cases.
"We try to see if it is an economic-motivated crime or an addiction-motivated crime," he said.
Rowland said people who possess drugs for personal use are not likely to wind up in prison, especially on first offenses.
"Contrary to popular belief, you have to work pretty hard to go to prison for possession of drugs in Oklahoma," Rowland said. "There are some who believe our prisons are full of simple drug possession cases. … They're more likely to go to prison for (possession of drugs with) intent to distribute."
Drummond said drug court is an option prosecutors consider in cases where defendants are good candidates for treatment. All but four Oklahoma counties now operate drug courts, programs in which defendants undergo drug testing, treatment and abide by other requirements in order to avoid prison.
Drummond said prosecutors consider prior offenses, whether violence was involved and input from victims when making recommendations about drug court.
Here are selected details from reviewed Oklahoma County cases with links to drugs or alcohol filed on Jan. 24, 2011. All information is taken from court and law enforcement records and ages are at the time charges were filed:
Vonik Tonianse
A bad headlight helped seal the fate of Tonianse, 26, who was pulled over by Edmond police on Jan. 8, 2011. A search of the car revealed a half pound of marijuana, Xanax bars, ecstasy tablets and related drug paraphernalia. Police also found a sawed-off shotgun with no serial number.
In August, Tonianse pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County to seven felonies, including possession of marijuana and ecstasy with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm, and he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was sentenced in conjunction with two other drug-related cases, court records show.
"It does not appear there were any significant factors, other than the defendant's own substance abuse, that influenced his current criminal behavior," according to a pre-sentence report.
Gary Pannell
Pannell, 53, was charged with armed robbery. He confessed to robbing a grocery store after he was caught on surveillance video pointing a semi-automatic pistol at a clerk.
Pannell pleaded guilty in November and was sentenced to seven years in prison. In a letter to the judge, Pannell said his drug habit had overtaken his life and requested treatment for his habit instead of prison time.
Diane Campbell
Campbell, 59, was charged with two counts of distribution of a controlled dangerous substance (OxyContin, Lortab) and one count of conspiracy to distribute. Police observed Campbell, 59, selling pills to an informant.
On one occasion she was sitting in a lawn chair holding a child while doing business over the phone, a probable cause affidavit shows. Campbell pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors and received eight-year deferred sentences on each count, according to court records.
Jerlean Brown
Brown, 51, was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute after police recovered 460.7 grams of marijuana from a house she attempted to run from. Brown pleaded guilty and received a 10-year deferred sentence, despite a 2009 conviction for drug possession.
Deyonco Frederick
Frederick, 35, is no stranger to law enforcement in Oklahoma County, where he has a prior felony conviction and three other felony cases pending, court records show.
All four cases are drug-related, including a cocaine trafficking charge filed Jan. 24, 2011. Frederick and two co-defendants were charged in connection with a drug buy by a confidential informant, police reported.
Frederick also was charged with possession with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm, possession of proceeds from the sale of drugs and possession of paraphernalia. He is awaiting trial.
Jan. 24, 2011, felony cases
Felony cases filed in Oklahoma and Tulsa county district courts on Jan. 24, 2011

Private Health Waiting Periods
Started by baileybunny , Jan 08 2012 12:58 PM

Posted 08 January 2012 - 12:58 PM
I was just curious, as most private health funds have a 12 month waiting period for pregnancy/obstetric benefits-
what happens say if I signed up for private health now, then in 3 months time got pregnant, meaning the due date would be somewhere around mid-Jan 2013 (meaning I would have served the 12 month waiting period based on the due date).
Lets say bub did not go 40/41 weeks but instead decided it was time to come at 30 or even 35 weeks.
Would this mean I would not get private health cover, because I would not have reached the waiting period when bubs was born, or because the 40 week due date was past the 12 month waiting period I would be covered?
I hope that all makes sense...just something I was thinking about. Ideally I suppose people would generally line up their private health cover that includes pregnancy maybe 18 months before they expected their baby to be born just to be on the safe side??
Posted 08 January 2012 - 01:07 PM
To be blunt YOU would not be covered until the 12 waiting period has been served even if bubs was due after that date but came early... Some funds may pay a benefit if bubs was born prem but I certainly would not be relying on that occuring as the 12 mth is a Govt legislated rule that health funds need to stick to. If the bubs was admitted in it's own right and you had family coverage the BABY and babys costs alone would be covered.
The other thing to remember is any hosp during pregnancy will not be covered so if you have really bad morning sickness and need to be admitted, or complications requiring hosp bed rest that will not be covered either..

La trobe have a 9 month wait period. Not true that 12 months is government legislated.
Posted 08 January 2012 - 03:18 PM
Unless there have been changes to the National Health act or what ever it was called in the past few years it used to be 9 months and there were way to many borderline cases. It then got changed out to 12 mths to avoid this scenario. From memory Funds were able to pay Private Patient Public Hosp benefits between 9 and 12 mths so there could be fine print in Latrobe's coverage or if they are paying after 9 mths they are walking a fine line. Basically when I was in the PHI field we always said 12 mths ... Two years is often a benefit limitation on lower dollar coverages. If you are thinking of having kids and using PHI you need to get you covered ASAP to start serving your wait times, you can always add dH once you get the BFP or in the first few mths of pregnancy as most funds require membership to be a family one Prior to bubs birth for bub to be covered.
Posted 08 January 2012 - 04:41 PM
Hi OP
I'm with HCF and when I was asked this question they told me that they go by the due date of the baby, so if you do have bubs early you are still covered. Best to ring around a few PHI's and ask them.
Posted 08 January 2012 - 04:46 PM
Perhaps it depends on your fund - mine goes by the due date and if early, an authorising letter from the OB was needed stating the due date in order to be covered. If Private is important to you then I would get it ASAP to ensure you're covered, not just for the birth but other benefits like fertility treatments if needed, acupuncture, pregnancy massage etc which are a great benefit of PHI too.
Posted 08 January 2012 - 05:19 PM
I'd say that it must be ok after 9 months as I am with one of the major health funds that has a 12 month obstetric waiting period and I fell pregnant (a surprise baby!) about a month after we got new insurance. When I rang up to cancel my insurance (as I was contemplating a change to Latrobe as they honor any waiting period already served and have a 9 month waiting period) my current insurer changed my waiting period to 9 months. I'd say it is at the discretion of the insurer if they insure you after 9 months.

Posted 12 January 2012 - 01:22 PM
I work for a health fund. With us, as long as the baby is due on or after the date that the 12 month waiting period ends, we will cover it. We do request an EDC (estimated date of confinement) certificate and make a determination about it and this can be done before the baby is born. You'll need to contact your fund to see what their policy is.
Posted 12 January 2012 - 01:28 PM
Also check the fine print. Some funds have a 12 month waiting period but that is for a private patient in a public hospital. A private hospital sometimes has a 24 months waiting period.

This is a really good point. I spent a total of nearly a month in hospital with 3 separate admissions while pg with DS2, all of it well before his due date - PHI paid out $500/day just in accommodation, and where we were living at the time, I definitely wouldn't have wanted to be in a shared room in the public system. While you hope nothing will go wrong, you can't rely on that.
Posted 13 January 2012 - 08:34 PM
Definitely a read the fine print issue. I did loads of research when I was looking at changing funds and some definitely allowed the 12 months to be due date and still covered you if you were prem. But I'm pretty sure that wasn't true of all funds.
Good luck wtih your research.

I never thought of this,,thanks for bringing it to mind. I wonder then if you could get admitted at a public hospital for things like premature labour, morning sickness etc, even if you weren't registered/booked in with the public hospital...and then only use your private hospital/ob or go there if you know you are definitely covered and had now exceeded the waiting period...?

I don't know if that would work but if you do that, you will not be seeing your private OB, and they might not have a full history of your pregnancy so, if you have early complications, not sure if you want to risk that?
Posted 19 January 2012 - 01:56 PM
Hi OP
as PP's have said it is best to check with the fund you are with. I was initially with MBF and they only covered from the day the baby was actually born (not the expected due date). I ended up switching to Medibank Private as they would cover me from the expected due date as long as the doctor could provide proof that the baby arrived before it's due date. I was in your hypothetical situation, with twins due only a few weeks after I had served my waiting period, and as I knew there was a high probability they may arrive early I switched. As long as you have held equal obstetric cover in the fund you are with and the fund you are moving to, all waiting period times carry over to the next fund if you know what I mean

Can I ask StudyMum which major fund you were with? I'm with MedibankP and am only 2 wks short and they won't cover me. Latrobe will cover me but I'm finding no many OBs have arrangements with them and there is a big gap that I'll need to pay. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Katie Couric moves to ABC with multi-platform deal
Daytime show, executive produced by Jeff Zucker, premieres in 2012
Katie Couric has officially signed a multi-year, multi-platform deal with Disney/ABC Television Group.
The centerpiece of Couric's Disney/ABC deal is an hour-long daytime show premiering in September 2012.
"I'm very happy to be returning to the network where I began my career as a desk assistant in 1979," Couric says in the ABC release. "It is tremendously exciting to have the creative freedom to develop my own show with Anne Sweeney, the Disney/ABC TV Group and Jeff, and to contribute to such a vibrant, innovative news division. I can't wait to be part of this incredibly talented, visionary team."
The "Jeff" in question is, of course, Jeff Zucker. The departed NBC-Universal bigwig will serve as executive producer on the yet-to-be-titled syndicated series, which will be based in New York City. Couric and Zucker previously worked together on NBC's "Today."
"It was a blast working with Katie at 'Today' and I'm excited to do it again," Zucker states. "And besides, it should be more fun spending time with Katie at 3 or 4 in the afternoon than at 3 or 4 in the morning."
With over a year before the premiere of the daytime show, Couric's first move in her new corporate home will be joining the ABC News team, starting this summer. The network says Couric will anchor specials, contribute interviews, participate in special events coverage.
"Katie Couric is one of television's iconic figures and we are thrilled to have forged such an exciting partnership with her," states Anne Sweeney, president, Disney/ABC Television Group and co-chair, Disney Media Networks. "We look forward to having Katie join the best News team in the business, and to working with her to create a dynamic and successful talk show franchise."
Couric worked on NBC's "Today" from 1989 through 2006, serving as host or co-host through most of that run. She left "Today" in 2006 to become new anchor and managing editor for "CBS Evening News" and a regular contributor for "60 Minutes." She announced her decision to leave her evening news position in April, formally leaving the anchor chair on May 19.

It's funny, i wore really nice clothing for the first day, the day with no picture. On the second day i was running late, lazy, and had a bit of a jog to get there. I decided to wear some crappy shoes, and now i'm giving the fashionistas (Sp?) a heart attack.
I've bought two pairs of running shoes lately trying to fix my stupid legs while running. My legs around my ankles, sorta shins, sorta calves, like get really really sore like lactic acid build up, every time I'm about 5 minutes into a run. It really sucks. I think it may just be because those muscles aren't used in cycling much. Really sucks cause I'd like to run more! I'm getting there though.
I'd like to buy a couple new pairs of shoes for work. Solid like $300-$500 leather soled shoes I can wear for the next 30 years. Still looking around though.

Lately, I've been wearing boots more than anything else. I have a couple of pairs of Frye boots that I wear to work most days. Now that the summer is coming, I'll probably switch to loafers. But I'm fortunate that I work in an office where I can wear jeans or even shorts if I wanted.
Also, Nordstrom Rack is a great place to check for shoes. It usually has a nice selection of Cole Haan and Allen Edmunds shoes in fairly traditional styles. I've even found nicer things, like Bruno Magli and Ferragamo, though those never fit my feet well.

I'd love to offer more master's fields though. Do you think a BAR master's field would increase turnout?
ps: anyone else prefer loafer-style shoes to laces... I've found I really don't like wearing shoes with laces for casual wear.
I'm pretty straightforward on the footwear. I have a few pairs of Cole Haan sneakers that I wear with pants and jeans, and some NB trail runners that I wear with shorts. The running shoes get all the action duty for kids soccer practice, pick-up hoops with the kids, bounding around the block with the dog, and most of my cooking and woodworking.
This reminds me: I can't possibly be the only one who tries to rip my dog's legs off in a run. We do a 6-7 minute loop, and I run it all-out and can usually cook him about 4 minutes in (fairly trim redbone coonhound). Of course, that just means there's no longer any tension on the leash, and he keeps up fine :-/

Yanks' Romine Bred to Be a Major Leaguer
When Yankee bench coach Tony Pena was still playing in the majors, he got the good news that his Boston Red Sox teammate, Kevin Romine, had a second son, a boy he named Austin.
Now that Austin is a catcher in major-league camp with the Yankees, Pena doesn't ever let him forget that he remembers when he was born, and that he still pictures Austin as a baby.
"Oh yeah, Tony's told me everything. I've heard all the stories about my dad," Romine chuckled. "But Tony, the first time he saw me, he was like, the last time I saw you, you were a little baby. Well, I'm not a kid anymore."
In some ways, that is true. But in others, absolutely not. At 21, Austin Romine is a mature, advanced baseball player with an understanding of catching well beyond his years. Catcher is the hardest position on the diamond to learn. Catchers often don't graduate from the minors until their mid-20s, and Romine has never played a game above Double-A.
But with one day left in spring training, Romine is still in a heated competition for the Yankee backup catcher's job, despite hitting only .182 with one home run this spring.
To Pena's way of thinking, that's a testament to Romine's maturity: the kind that you can't necessarily teach, unless, like Romine, you have a father who lived it and has schooled you in it from a young age.
"Those kids, they grew up in baseball, they grew up in the field," Pena said. "They have an idea of how to act in a big-league clubhouse. They have lived it their whole life. It's nothing new to them.''
Economists Steven Leavitt and Stephen Dubner, in their book "Superfreakonomics,'' say that there are no predictive factors—height, weight, little league average—that can significantly impact if a young boy will become a major leaguer, save one. Sons of big league fathers are 800 times more likely than the average child to make the majors.
There are just over 200 players in baseball history with fathers who played in the bigs, including Austin's brother, Andrew, who debuted last season for the Los Angeles Angels. The two brothers were schooled in how to be big leaguers when other kids were learning how to pick up a bat.
"Since a young age, that's what we've been bred to do," Romine said.
That breeding worked so well that Romine remains in the mix for the major-league backup's job, perhaps even ahead of more highly rated and experienced catching prospect Jesus Montero.
The job is likely to go to journeyman Gustavo Molina, but the fact that Romine is still in contention speaks volumes.
In a world where prospects come up quietly and can struggle to fit in, children of major leaguers exude a confidence that others can labor to find. Nick Swisher always remembers being confident and comfortable in a major league clubhouse.
The son of major leaguer Steve Swisher, Nick attributes that to the years he spent in minor league clubhouses after his father retired and moved to coaching.
"I wasn't in the big-league locker room, I was in those ratty minor-league clubhouses,'' Swisher said.
Anecdotally, players with Romine's lineage might have a better chance for success, but Yankee general manager Brian Cashman doesn't see it. He drafted Romine for his potential, not his pedigree.
"We had David Parrish, who was Lance Parrish's son, and he didn't make it,'' Cashman said.
"There's a lot of guys who don't have any family history in the big leagues, and they're pretty good."
Romine has talked to his father every day this spring as he fights to make the roster. Whether he makes it or not, Pena said Romine's confidence and saavy have made an impression.
"We're still working every day on some things, but he's a great kid, and everybody loves him," Pena said.

Michele Bachmann challenged by RAT PAC
By his own estimation, retired tile contractor Dan Day's been knocking around DFL politics in the 6th congressional district since about 2002, and he's been working against Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann ever since volunteering for Patty Wetterling's failed campaign against the Stillwater conservative in 2006. Yesterday, he went a step further: He announced the Residents for Accuracy and Truth Political Action Committee -- RAT PAC -- to try and bring Bachmann's two-term incumbency to an end.
"Michele is all about representing herself and not representing the members of her district," he said. "It's time to rise up and do something."
Here's the text of the press release:
ANOKA, Minn.--A new, Minnesota-based political action committee has been formed to target Michele Bachmann's real record as the U.S. representative for the 6th Congressional District.
Residents for Accuracy and Truth is comprised of Bachmann constituents tired of watching their representative on Fox News rather than getting a chance to see her anywhere in the 6th District.
"There's something symbolic about making this announcement on April 1," said David Day, an Anoka County resident and spokesman for the RAT PAC. "But with Bachmann, everyday really is April Fools' Day. As millions of Americans have seen over the past three years, if there's a camera crew on-hand, Michele is more than willing to provide them with all the bloopers YouTube can handle."
Bachmann is set to appear next week at a Minneapolis (5th Congressional District) rally and fundraiser with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. In advance of what Day sarcastically said "promises to be a proud day for Minnesota," the group released the following video: http://tinyurl.com/yda4fry
"It may make us as crazy as she is, but we're proud to take on the task of trying to keep Bachmann honest," Day said. "Despite what people outside our district think, most people here aren't like Bachmann, but she gets away with doing what she does because only periodically do her outrageous statements get press coverage. The 'anti-American' stuff from 2008 made her famous, but to those of us who have been living with her for a while--we know that's nothing new."
The RAT PAC will be making appearances at events throughout the 6th Congressional District between now and the election and the organization's Web site -- www.stopbachmann.com -- will serve as a one-stop shop for those looking to understand Bachmann's full record.
"For $10,000 you can get a photo with Bachmann and Palin," Day said. "We're a cheaper date. You can join our team for a dollar."

This is horribly tasteless: it's a trailer for a new movie based on a video game by Uwe Boll (for those unfamiliar with his oeuvre, I'll just mention the combination of the words "movie", "video game", and "Uwe Boll" represents the very worst of humorlessly plodding, dumb cinema).

Got a little problem with the spoke eyelet splitting on the drive side of my Bontrager Race wheel. I would like to stay with Bontrager to match the front. Any suggestions on which Bontrager would be an upgrade in sturdiness? I have been looking on the web, but it is hard to tell without looking at the real thing.
I could buy a whole new wheelset, but don't see the need if I can get something to match. See attached photo.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Since we last visited AsianSexThrills...
If you need some Asian Sex Thrills, this seems like a good place to get them, at least in theory. There's a load of Asian porn here to delight you, providing a solid mix of solo, lesbian and straight action, but will it deliver all the thrills it promises? Read on to find out.
The tour features sultry Asian beauties sucking dick and fucking, which is exactly what you'll see them doing inside AsianSexThrills. The Asian invasion begins with 289 videos that depict threesomes, anal sex, lesbian action, toy play, blowjobs, creampies, titty fucking and some strapon (gal on guy) screwing.
You can enjoy the films in clips and also check them out as full-length flicks. The movies can be streamed in an embedded Flash player and downloaded in mostly good-quality Windows Media and MP4 files. Some of the newer ones offer an HD option as well. Features include sorting options, a place to post comments, user ratings and a way to keep track of all your favorites.
Keeani Lei is a petite Asian treat and she really rocks it in her scene. She takes on two big dicks and you get some awesome DP action. Sitting on a dude's cock reverse cowgirl while another stud bangs her pussy (her striped pink and black stockings sticking out the side), she moans her little head off and then gets her perky chest covered in cum.
Get more hot action in the photo section, which contains 490 picture galleries. You can save the different sets in Zip files and many of the pics are high-res. You will get a lot of solo shoots, but there are some lesbian and straight hardcore sets in there as well.
The main collection has enough content on its own, but you'll find more porn in the form of bonus videos and photos. There are also a bunch of bonus sites from the All Porn Sites Pass network, including Anal Fuck Thrills and Booty Studio.
If you've got a thing for Asian babes, joining this site is worthwhile, but nothing is exclusive and they haven't updated since April 2015. Still, they do already boast quite a large collection.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I heard about an exterior wall covering that simulates the look of a natural stone wall. It is something I am told that can adhere to the exterior concrete basement walls for an alternative look to that of just the plain concrete. Has anyone heard of such a product. If so, I'm looking to find out what it is called so I can start some research.

- stone-look adhesive exterior wall covering
I assume that you are talking about manufactured stone. It is a concrete based product that it about 1-2" thick.
There are a large number of styles and colors.
Cultured Stone is one brand name, but it also a generic name for the product.
Elderado (sp?) Stone is another brand.
Some googling should get you more info.

Thank you for the reply. I had found some information on the manufactured stone; however, that wasn't the impression I got on this particular product. As it was explained to me, it must be some sort of "sheet" of a vinyl/laminate of some sort that has a pattern of stone on it (not meant to simulate the real stone look). I've seen specialty vinyl siding that is made to look like natural materials such as brick and stone, but that's not the same thing either.
Perhaps what I'm invisioning or my interpretation doesn't exist.

Nadal Leaves Madrid Feeling Really Blue
Goodbye, blue clay, and good riddance. After suffering a third-round upset at the Madrid Open on Thursday, Rafael Nadal said the tournament's surface—blue rather than the traditional red, and very slippery, according to players—needed to change or he would be forced to skip the event in the future.
"If things continue like this I am very sad but next year will be one less tournament in my calendar," Nadal said. Nadal held a 5-2 lead against Fernando Verdasco in the third set before losing five consecutive games. It was his first loss on clay this year and only his ninth since 2005, when he won the first of his six French Open titles. His career record against Verdasco had been 13-0.

NFLPA Releases Study on the Labor Agreement
One season into the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, NFL players were paid more than $160 million in cash and benefits, which is nearly $18 million more than the initial salary cap and benefits number in the agreement, according to an analysis by the NFL Players Association. The new CBA has a provision that allows teams to spend over the cap in cash.
The study will be sent to NFL players and agents in the coming days. 57% of player salaries were guaranteed in 2011, up from 50% in 2010 and overall, the amount of cash spent on players was 55% of all revenue in 2011, a higher percentage than any year under the previous CBA, according to the study.

Music and learning
Scientific research shows a distinct connection between music and learning. Learning a song, a musical instrument, or a dance step offers an integration of body and mind that only music provides, a multi-sensory process that enhances learning readiness for school subjects such as reading, writing, and math.
Music study also improves spatial-temporal reasoning (see the M.I.N.D. Institute research), a neurological process needed to understand mathematics. The best way to enhance your child studies with music is to encourage listening to and learning music throughout his developmental years. Do it in ways that are fun and entertaining and find how to share the experience that are positive and nurturing.
