so, i have insurance through work, but our company is so small i'm not covered under the FMLA and we don't have any paid maternity leave. we have a meeting set up with AFLAC tomorrow, which is not set up through work, but is an option for us to sign up for personal supplemental insurance. i was just wondering if anyone has had experience with attempting to get short term disability after they've become pregnant? i'm kinda doubting they'll accept me because i'm already pregnant... but i'm hoping they will!! anyone have any insight to this?? thanks!
AFLAC Short Term Disability Insurance...

I have AFLAC.. it really helped. Problem is, they won't accept this pregnancy... and, you have to be vested in it for I think at least a year before you can start receiving benefits. Sorry... it sucks.

Yup - we have AFLAC - it is great if you signed up for it BEFORE you got pregnant. You have to have it at least a month before you get pregnant for it to work.

Yeah, I have it through my work. I was told it had to be 10 months before you got pregnant...sorry!
My question is, how does it work? I mean to I just call them and say "Ok I had the baby send me my money!"or what???

You have to fill out claim forms, have your employer fill out one, and your doctor. It's kind of a pain, but worth it in the end.

i've been trying to tell that to the co-worker that arranged this meeting... that they more than likely won't accept me because i have a "pre-existing condition".... lol. was worth a shot though!! i don't plan on getting pregnant ever again as i never planned on being pregnant to begin with, and with finances the way they are... i can't imagine paying on two insurance plans when the one i have already is going to go up when the baby gets here... quite the pickle!!
First time mom!Tomorrow is a new day.Anders Thomas - 10/15/09
I used AFLAC to cover part of the salary I lost due to my last maternity leave. It wasn't much, but it did help offset a portion of the loss. I upped my payout amount last year, so I am eligible for the greater amount this time around. We are supposed to be renewing in the next week or so for our next contract year . . . and I am going to have to call the business office to make sure that someone is coming to do this! We haven't heard anything yet!
Be forewarned that you cannot use STD for maternity leave for at least 10 months after signing the contract. AFLAC doesn't have a problem paying out for use, but they don't want pregnant women flocking to sign up and use it immediately either . . . Just like some pre existing conditions aren't covered because the risk/need for payout is just too great.
I am glad I have it . . . Good insurance not only for maternity leave (they pay 6 weeks (a predetermined rate) for a vaginal birth, and 8 weeks for a c-section. If you require bed rest or hospitalization prior to delivery for some other reason (pre-e, etc.) for an extended period of time, that can be filed as a separate claim. Also good coverage should I ever need some major surgery, have a serious accident, or some sort of illness that knocks me out for a while. Talk to the rep; they are able to make it all very understandable.
Good luck!

If you live in California... EDD covers 60% of you salary while you are disabled after/prior to birth. But it requires periodic medical forms completed by your doctor.
i'm in wisconsin... and they never ended up showing up... had to reschedule or something. guess we'll see when/if the rep ever shows up!! lol.
First time mom!Tomorrow is a new day.Anders Thomas - 10/15/09
Just a quick add on. Im thinking of having a baby and planning on getting the AFLAC Short term disability insurance. How long do i have to wait to be on it before i can become pregnant? Some say 10 months i can be pregnant other say just one month. Does anyone know? Im just trying to plan and make everything a little smoother. :)

Hi guys, LordofBionicles here!
Time for my first topic of 2014, I was just wondering, which do you think is the worst character we have seen so far?
Is there someone that you despise? Or that you don't like to see in the story very often? maybe he's obnoxious or you felt dissapointed towards him/her.
I am not saying that there is a character that ruined BIONICLE or anything like that but, I believe there can be some characters who are not as good as some of the others.
I personally don't feel Keetongu is such a great character, I mean his only reason of existence was for the Toa Hordika to find a way to get back to their Toa Metru forms, I can imagine the story team thinking:
"Well we need some kind of cure for the Hordika venom, what should it be?"
-How about the Remove Posion Kanoka?
"No, too easy"
-How about Roodaka's Rhotuka?
"No, save that for the Rahaga"
-Well if we don't know the cure then how about a character who knows it for us?-
Plus I´m not sure I buy the idea that his strenght can rival that of a Makuta, I don't think Keetongu could beat Icarax in that sense.
So how about you? Please leave your opinion and comments below.

I'm looking for 4 tickets to the UNI game that are together.
post on a hawk site.. with the season tix they bought it might be a decent realistic chance to get some UNI tix.
Or just show up and buy from a scalper. They won't be going for much more than face. Don't think you would have much of a problem getting 4 together for that game.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — David Backes is happy the St. Louis Blues are out of their homes and comfort zones. The captain figures it might be the best way to save their season.
St. Louis dropped the first two home games of its second-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings, giving up eight goals to the lowest-scoring team that made the NHL playoffs.
After St. Louis' stellar regular season and an impressive first-round win over San Jose, Backes feels the Blues' focus is slipping in the Western Conference semifinal series. He is hoping the road will redirect their energy, and they will get back in the series in Game 3 on Thursday night.
The Kings are trying to preserve the momentum they gained with their fifth road win already in the playoffs.

I have it helmet-mounted. Darn thing fell off three times in today's ride, and I finally gave up and put it in the bag.
It's a pain to get mounted just right, frankly, and now it appears it won't stay in position.
Any suggestions?

3M double sided tape. Not sure what brand the helmet mounted mirror is, but I've been using it for years. The original adhesive backing didn't hold up well, but that 3M stuff sure holds it.
IMHO, Take a Look Mirror works best on glasses. With some odd frames (Oakley M-frames) you need to put a tie-wrap on it.
If you really want to mount it on your helmet, use Shoe Goo
Land of the Free, Because of the Brave.
I actually picked my helmet for Take A Look compatability. The clip slides tightly into a perfectly located spot on the visor, which was not true of every helmet I considered. For extra security, I cut two small squares of black duct tape (matching the visor), and stuck one on each side. It's stayed in position for months like this, and is easy to adjust if it does get knocked askew.
Have mine mounted on glasses. This works well and stays in place. Just don't forget you have it on.
I put two Zefal Spy mirrors on my handlebars and they work great.
Signature line for rent.
I've had good luck with the "Third Eye" products -- I have had one of their "foam helmet" mirrors on the last couple of helmets and have had no problems.
I did take off the velcro that they provide and just glue the mount to the helmet with GE Silicone; it fills the gaps and holds firm, but can be removed if desired.
Your mileage may vary but I've been very pleased.

Not a helmet mirror, but this is what I use on my road bike:
I don't ride in the drops much, and it's pretty adjustable. I tried the Take a Look, but it was awkward for me because I have a lazy left eye. My peripheral vision on that side is compromised. I really needed something to help me see traffic coming from behind without doing contortions to get the rear view, and the D&D is perfect. (YMMV)
Third Eye bar end mirror
I had poor luck with a Take-a-Look helmet mount too. I was much more satisfied mounting it on my sunglasses.
I have mine attached to the helmet visor. I secure it with a small zip tie. Prior to the zip tie, it would fall off once in a while - always able to find it.

I zip tie mine also

I kept breaking the stem of mine every couple years or so. It seemed like a waste. I hot glued the last broken mirror on to my helmet and now the thing works fine. I would not ride without one. It looks a slightly gnarly, but I like that.
My glasses mounted mirror mounts broke so I wired it to helmet visor, works good and I don't have to adjust it every time I ride.

As others have said, it works great on glasses, not so much on helmets. I now greatly prefer their newer compact version. I actually provides a wider FOV and sticks out less far.

Welcome to Web Traffic Guide
Web Traffic Article
The purpose of this article on web design is to furnish you with resources
and links on site where you can get more information. This should you aid you on
your web design.
There are many sites that imparts authentic information on web design. There are also many sites that hosts tools to help you with.
In many cases, you do not have to buy any expensive tools for your web design. Most of the things you need are freely available on the Internet.
Be careful not to suffer from information overload web design. Most of the sites features here imparts exhaustive information on web design. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!
Some Places to Go For More Information.
If you feel like you know quite a bit about web design now, but you'd really like to explore the details a bit more, then this is the article for you. As web designers are, by their nature, very likely to be web users and website owners, there's a wealth of information and discussion forums on the web, all free to read or participate in. I'm going to give you a few websites that are my first port of call when I have a problem or I'm curious about something, in the hope that they'll be useful to you too.
W3Schools : A great resource, with free tutorials on everything from HTML to CSS to ASP. It offers a 'try it yourself' editor that lets you edit example code and see the results straightaway, as well as comprehensive language references. I go to W3Schools first when I forget the name of an obscure CSS property or wonder if there's an HTML tag suitable for a certain purpose – they're all there.
Actually web design is a vast subject. As you browse through the pages on these sites, be sure to book mark what interests you. Also, remember to take only the information pertaining to your project on web design.
A List Apart : A web magazine for web designers, it's very good for 'how to' articles covering more complicated subjects, especially when it comes to CSS. The writers at A List Apart are very good at working around CSS' shortcomings and offering practical workarounds and solutions that you can take and use on your own website.
Digital Web Magazine : Weekly pieces on issues relevant to web designers, with a focus on web design and accessibility. It tends to be especially good for reviews of the latest web design books, and analysis of current trends.
The Web Style Guide : If you're a writer, you need to read The Elements of Style, and if you're a web designer you need to read the Web Style Guide. It is, essentially, an online book, giving best practices for many different aspects of web design. If you're looking for general strategies, it's a very good read.
Webmaster World : An excellent place to watch for the latest news relevant to webmasters – if something is going on with a search engine, or there's a new advertising service out, then Webmaster World will have the news, as well as lots of comment and analysis from people who run big, successful websites. Well worth checking daily.
About Web Design : A resource that mostly sticks to the basics, but covers all of them, and covers them well. If you're trying to do something that seems like it should be quite simple and you'd like a step-by-step guide, About Web Design is a good place to go.
May be after reading all these information, you can take a deep breath! Now, think back and think deeply about web design
Web Design Bits : Web design tutorials with a focus on those big, difficult to use programs, like Flash and Photoshop. Especially good if you're trying to achieve advanced effects in Photoshop without having to learn it inside out. The tutorials linked to are off-site, making it a good way to find other useful web design websites.
Web Design Forums : A pretty comprehensive set of forums about web design, and a very good place to go if you're having a problem that you haven't been able to solve for yourself. As long as you take the time to find the right forum to post your question in, you should find the people there helpful and knowledgeable.
The Site Wizard : This site has a sprawling, categorized set of web design articles – if you want an article about something, you can probably find it here. It tends to be especially good if you're looking for a guide for how to do something with a specific program.
You are sure to find what you are looking from these site. If these sites are not enough make a search on Google about web design.
SitePoint : Although it can feel advertising-heavy, SitePoint is a good resource for articles about web design. The articles tend to be slanted towards online business and other ways of making money online, although there are plenty of design tricks there that would be useful to anyway. They also have a very active and useful set of forums.
If you like these resources on web design, pass it to your friends. There are many newbies out there who are groping in the dark when it comes to web design.
The W3C : Finally, it's worth giving a mention to the web's official standards body, the W3C. They have the authoritative copies of the specifications for open web languages like HTML and CSS. You can also take a look at the working groups, who are working on the future of the web right now.
After initial start up trouble, most people find it's a lot more easier to do a web design than they initially thought. Hope you enjoyed this article and found it useful.

The Sunday Morning Bray, by Bray!
And in fact, you do LOVE all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more. 1 Thes 4:10
It is time to stop tolerating tolerance. Tolerance has become the number one tactic for the commie left to promote their agenda. Whether they are promoting homosexuality, abortion, immigration, islam or the worship of the earth everything is wrapped around tolerance and their manipulation of the language through social morality. To become a perfect person in the liberal world you have to become more tolerant than every other person while anybody whos not tolerant is automatically labeled a stupid hater. It is a simple tactic they have been promoting for decades and now they enforce it in the most draconian methods to manipulate the population and ultimately, their agenda.
We have been told by the liberal establishment to be tolerant of any and all behaviors no matter how perverse or destructive it is to the individual or society. We are told to tolerate the drug addict and the alcoholic but not the cigarette smoker. Alcoholics and sex addicts of all varieties and perversions are tolerated and sympathized with but smokers are to be vilified and not tolerated. The homosexual sex addicts are excused for not being able to control their addictions while smokers are to be shunned and punished as outcasts. This proves once again that the basic tenets of liberalism, is cult worship and its followers have been brainwashed into their religious following.
Unlike those who believe in God liberals believe in a Godless cult while worshiping all types of false gods such as trees, animals, whales, homosexuality, abortion, and in algores case, polar bears. In Christianity it is just the opposite since you are told to love the sinner but hate the sin while liberals tolerate the sin and expect Christians to too. Liberals go one step farther since they believe you not only must love the sin but if you dont love the sin you are being intolerant which is an unforgivable sin. The only thing liberals are intolerant of is intolerance. They are also intolerant of people who disagree with them which is usually connected with intolerance which they will not tolerate.
The problem is Old Corrupt Media has programmed America into this tolerance nonsense. If you are tolerant you are morally superior than those who are not as tolerant. So if you disagree with abortion or homosexual behavior you are not as tolerant as those who do. If you believe that we should open our borders to Mexican immigration than you are more tolerant than those who do not. If they are intolerant than they are also less human which means they can be called all types of intolerant related names like racist, sexist, homophobe or any of the other names the leftists use to further their agenda. Intolerance it the ultimate sin so they need to be mocked and humiliated because of their intolerance.
Since intolerance is an emotional term with no clear boundaries or definitions this allows the liberal to define what is and isnt tolerant depending on how they want to define it. The classic is race where they consider anybody who disagrees with them as intolerant while they can use any racist term they want since they have already defined themselves and liberalism as tolerant and open minded there is no way they can be considered intolerant or racist. They are so tolerant of Blacks they feel sorry for Blacks being black so how could they possibly be racist? They have already defined being intolerant to those who disagree with them as an accepted behavior so when they use terms that could be racist they receive a pass due to their already defined tolerance of the race.
This tactic has and is being promoted daily as they find another protected group to promote as a tolerated group or behavior and if anybody disagrees with them will receive the intolerant hater label. This will be pushed until people become aware of this tactic and begin realizing it for what it is, another way for commies to promote their tyrannical agenda. They need to break down the political and social structure so when it collapses they can be there to rebuild it with their own dictatorial gummit. The beauty of tolerance is the liberals get to decide who is tolerant and who is not. They have an absolutely corrupt establishment which is run by ideologues in the DNC, their media, their academia, their unions and a large sector of business. This is a perfectly closed system which not only defines what tolerance is and isnt but they have a built in attack machine that is judge, jury and executioner of who and what they define as intolerant. These judicial pronouncements of course follow their agenda to keep people from standing up for fear being called intolerant. This tactic has cowered much of the opposition allowing them the ability to move their agenda forward such as illegal immigration and now homosexual marriage.
This is one of the biggest fears in DC since nobody dares to be intolerant when the Dinosaur Times decides what you say that is or isnt tolerant. Since they can twist anything into an offensive term to somebody, all Repubs are continually walking on intolerant egg shells. This weapon needs to be exposed for the tactic it is and shine the light of day on it. They are using it as a holy shrine while considering anybody who doesnt bow to their shrine as committing an unforgivable sin. Once America begins to understand this tactic and then how to combat it, it will become a toothless tiger the same as global warming, Gaia worship, racism and all their other tactics theyve used to promote liberalism. Once we remove that weapon from their arsenal then we can have honest discussions about race, addictions, immigration and homosexuality. This is the last thing they want since they know they will lose all their debates if they arent allowed to limit the discussion which is their greatest fear.
It is time to stop tolerating tolerance it is simply a tool of the left to beat America into submission. We have too many critical issues to have to continually worry about how our arguments could potentially make a certain protected group feel about it, especially when the determiners of those feelings are the ones who are promoting an agenda to shut down opposition. It is time to make their arguments stand on their own and weigh those arguments in a free and open forum. We no longer have the luxury of playing cheap parlor games when the future of our country is at stake. From now on when they bring out their feigned angst about being intolerant they need to be mocked and laughed at for the hypocrisy and fraud these merchants of socialism are foisting on America. These frauds can no longer be tolerated and their intolerance to ideas needs to be exposed and destroyed. They are simply using a tactic to win the argument without allowing any discussion of the issue. The foundation of America is Freedom of Speech, so we can no longer tolerate losing that Freedom.
Pray for America
Good morning everyone.
Should be especially fun with Wasserman-Schultz, since she recently admitted Obama and the Dems owned the economy.
Morning All!
Thanks for the ping and thread AB.
Good Morning All. Bachman is one busy woman this Sunday. Thought we would see more of Perry on the Sunday shows.
1. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (4823, 28.55%)
2. Congressman Ron Paul (4671, 27.65%)
3. Governor Tim Pawlenty (2293, 13.57%)
4. Senator Rick Santorum (1657, 9.81%)
5. Herman Cain(1456, 8.62%)
6. Governor Rick Perry (718, 3.62%) write-in
7. Governor Mitt Romney (567, 3.36%)
8. Speaker Newt Gingrich (385, 2.28%)
9. Governor Jon Huntsman (69, 0.41%)
10. Congressman Thad McCotter (35, 0.21%)
Interesting that Paul, #2, is nowhere to be seen this morning.
Thanks for thread AB. Tea Party victory in Iowa will not be recognized by DBM (I bet).
Chrissie Wallace needs to be beaten...AGAIN, for his gawdaful behavior during the debate.
Hope you sent him plenty of emails during the week and some irretrievable posts that show up on google.
Maybe a couple of angry phone calls mixed in with the Sunday seminar RATcallers on CSPIN.
Well, the drive-bys have their marching orders from the White House on who to destroy first.
Should be especially fun with Wasserman-Schultz, since she recently admitted Obama and the Dems owned the economy.
I'm sorry I have to miss it. I'd really like to see a one-on-one with those two, and a true "no spin" moderator (not Ted Baxter)
thanks AB..as always!
Wallace has a mean streak and a misogynist streak...he can't help himself. Get the dude on some meds.
I'm hoping that Chris Wallace doesn't embarrass us (and himself) again when interviewing Michelle Bachman.
I'm glad to see that Romney isn't even in the top 5.
Good post today, bray.
it's only 5:30 here in Az but was lookin for east coast live link......guess I'll just read this my area has access to MTP
Brilliant as usual bray.
The Marxists are super slick in using a technique that has served them well for many years if not generations its called incrementalism.
Introducing a mentality,crime wave, dictate, philosophy,form of government over a period of time as chaos and events allow has been the mandate of the regime since day one.
No one is a master of this technique of incrementalisim more than zeros handlers. Whomever the evil practitioners of communism, statism,socialism are that program zeros teleprompter are they have figured out how to induce chaos nearly all the time in the US. This alone allows them to fully seek to destroy the US and all its good traits in the background and occasionally the foreground(obamacare) while diverting the attention of the DBM to issues that will come and go almost on command.
the series of "crisis events" we have had in the country are near unparalleled in our history and many are contrived to help keep our attention otherwise focused on mundane events while the real true destruction of the US is accomplished by dozens of tsars, an evil attorney general and a party hell bent on the destruction of a way of life unparalleled in the history of the world that we know about.
All part of Wallasses quest for DBM success in the end.
Thanks again, as always, AB.
The Sunday shows must hate having to have Bachmann on today.
Maybe Congresswoman Bachmann will ask him "Chris, are you a freak?"
Is it snowing there yet?
you can bet they have 3 dozen gotcha questions
The Dems would love for Bachman to be the nominee. Of the top 3 Republican candidates right now, she is the weakest. I do like her but I know she would not do well on the national scene, unfortunately. That is why the Dems want her.
Has the dear Leader asked you to play golf yet or will he be your caddy?
agreed and I still think the Varsity team is yet to announce
Romney was unavailable, probably still hiding under a table and sucking his thumb, saying to himself, "this isn't happening, this isn't happening," after Perry's announcement and rather strong showing in the Iowa poll.
we played....he bitched the whole round about the decision to make golf balls white
No, wise guy, not yet. But... it's coming!!! It will be here after you finish with all the hurricanes you get there.
Mark Mellman strategist for the commmies just said Rick Perry did not put the oil in Texas that is proping up their economy. He also said that when Michelle Bachman makes a mistake its terrible but when zero makes one it doesn't count. These guys are just so good, so savvy you gotta wonder.
LOL,couldn't you compromise and die them pink for the Dear Leader?
tried but he said he was cuttin down on the Larry Sinclair look....he more favored the Don Lemon motiff'
True. But he doesn't hinder pumping and refining it which is what Obozo does.
LOLOLOL!Seems you have his number and it is indeed "0".
The rats are so desperate they are going to and will say anything over the next year and a half just to reinvent what is going on. Seldom has a political party been in such a fix that they have absolutely nothing at all to run on except lies about us.
It was just reported on TV that Pawlenty has dropped out of the race.
Yep, they always do when interviewing Republicans. Any more it's expected and our side has to learn how to handle and counter them. Some do well, like Chris Christie, and others don't seem to learn.
dark shadows or he grew a brain ?
They all want Bachman on as the MSM/Obamabots believe they can beat her...
I don't see Christie getting into the race but have no idea what Palin will do. She is keeping her decision a huge secret and driving both sides mad in the process.
I noticed ABC's This Week has Pawlenty as a guest this morning.
Agree 100%. She is the weakest and the media will Palinize her. It will be very, very ugly. I do like her, but just can't see her getting a fair shake from the MSM or the left.
Pawlenty told supporters on a conference call Sunday morning that he would announce on ABC's "This Week" that he was ending his campaign after a disappointing finish in the Iowa straw poll on Saturday.
Source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2011/08/14/politics/p054559D49.DTL&tsp=1
I just meant that Christie has a way of nailing unruly interviewers and crowds. I probably would not agree with many of his positions but I get a kick out of his media skills.
As for Sarah Palin, we'll just have to wait and see. IF she jumps in I would guess she'll swamp the field.
ABC This Week apparently didn't get the morning news that Pawlenty has withdrawn.
The opening indicates they are wondering whether Pawlenty will continue.
And they are claiming TW is 'live' from Ames.
Pawlenty does announce that he is quitting the race.

A cemetery that includes the final resting place of Greenwood's first mayor will remain untouched when a roundabout is built nearby.
Greenwood Cemetery, located on Main Street just west of U.S. 31, is the final resting place for some of the city's pioneers and a handful of Civil War veterans who came before them. A roundabout designed to improve traffic flow will be shifted in order to preserve the history of the 37-acre cemetery.
The cemetery was created in 1884, and at the time the area was primarily farmland. A home stood along Main Street just west of the cemetery's current entrance, and the water pump still stands. Now the cemetery is surrounded by residential neighborhoods that thousands of people call home, with restaurants and shops just down the road.
Horses and buggies would have slowly moved along Main Street when the cemetery opened, but now cars, motorcycles and trucks frequently back up at the intersection of Main Street and Averitt Road — a three-way stop near the southwest corner of the cemetery.
The city of Greenwood will begin construction on a roundabout there to ease the backups. Officials will start accepting bids next year for the $921,100 project, which borders a portion of the cemetery. But the roundabout will be shifted slightly south of the intersection to avoid having to move any graves like what had to be done during a widening of State Road 135 a few years ago.
Greenwood Cemetery is about 37 acres and has about 16,000 people buried there. Greenwood's first mayor, Walter Burkhart, is buried there, along with several other mayors, cemetery superintendent John Armes said.
When he first heard about the roundabout, Armes said, he was concerned that a lot of graves were going to have to be moved, but city officials said that would not be necessary.
Civil War veterans can be found in one area of the cemetery, and a plaque marks where several pioneers were reburied after previously being laid to rest in Presbyterian and Baptist cemeteries, including John B. and Jane Brewer Smock, who are credited with building the first cabin in Greenwood in 1823.
Greenwood city officials considered the cemetery when planning the roundabout at Main Street and Averitt Road. Early on, the decision was made to buy land across from the cemetery and shift the center of the roundabout to the south. The city spent $42,782 on land acquisitions for the project, Greenwood community development services director Mark Richards said.
The shift will save the city the costs of getting land from the cemetery, such as legal fees and any costs of moving graves. The city would have had to make a request to the Indiana Department of Transportation to move any graves but never seriously considered that option, Richards said.

How to Build a Humane Mousetrap
It may sometimes be desirable to live trap mice rather than catch them in a kill trap. This trap can be used with or without bait.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Cut a bicycle inner-tube to an appropriate length.
2Put one end in the mouse hole, as in the picture.
3Bend the other end downwards into a long glass jar, such as a quart jar. The jar must be big enough so the mice can't climb back out. Ensure that both ends of the inner-tube are open so the mice can easily get through.
4Place a few pieces of dry food around the edge of the bottom of the jar. This will encourage a mouse to venture in.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Place some food into the jar to more easily lure the mice.
- Peanut butter and oily foods as well as cheese shouldn't be used. They stink everything up, and do not attract mice.
- Be sure to cover the top of the jar securely before removing the mice; even small mice can bite.

An order from PerformanceBike and some stuff I bought in the Marketplace forum showed up in today's mail. I got a portable pump that straps on my bike, and new head/tail lights that won't fall off like the old cheapo ones, and a little bag that sits in on the bar behind the handlebars. Between those and the U-lock and the bottle cage, I have truly pimped my bike.
The new taillight will also clip onto my guitar gig bag. I also picked up bright orange-yellow glowing sticker things, and there's a computer I need to figure out how to install.
By the end of the season, perhaps I can turn it into an art bike. And at that point it'll be utterly unrideable, but purty.
I'm tired. Must sleep.

|APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REAL TIME MEASUREMENT OF A CONSTITUENT OF BLOOD TO MONITOR BLOOD VOLUME - Apparatus and method for non-invasively determining the level of a constituent of a patient's blood drawn though an elastomeric tubing to a dialysis machine deforms the tubing in the slot of a measuring head having two points of different transverse length with a transmit/receive sensor at each point that transmits a signal through the tubing and the blood and is reflected back to it from the tubing internal wall. The round trip transit time of the signal at each sensor is measured and the blood sound velocity is calculated from the two round trip transit times and the differential of the transverse lengths at the two points. Blood hematocrit level, which is related to blood volume, is calculated from the calculated sound velocity and an empirical relationship.

Oklahoma state schools Superintendent Janet Barresi asks for more time for teacher evaluation
The state schools superintendent is asking lawmakers for extra time to implement a new teacher evaluation system.
Janet Barresi has asked for an extra two years to finish putting together the Teacher and Leader Effectiveness system, which would tie teacher pay, tenure and employment to measures such as student test grades and administrator observations.
Barresi's chief of staff, Joel Robison, said many details have yet to be worked out for a system that is set to go into effect in the fall.
"This is very difficult work with very high stakes," Robison said. "We just want to make sure that we do everything that we can do, get all the information we can get, get as much input as we can, to make sure when the system is implemented, it is implemented correctly."
Sen. John Ford and Rep. Earl Sears, who authored the original reform, were already asking their fellow legislators to give the agency an extra year. Now they're amending Senate Bill 426 to ask for a two-year delay.
Sears said he's willing to give Barresi and the state Education Department more time.
"This is such a major change," said Sears, R-Bartlesville. "Let's get it right the first time."
Ford said he's heard from educators and superintendents that the process should slow down so it's done correctly. Input from educators throughout the state is vital, he said.
"It's got to be something we all have input in and buy into," said Ford, R-Bartlesville.
Teacher and Leader Effectiveness will be the first statewide teacher evaluation system.
Now, teacher evaluation systems are set by local districts or school principals. Most often, teachers are given raises based on their education and years of employment.
Under the new models, teachers will be evaluated on student test scores, classroom management and other factors. Teachers will receive one of five ratings:
Highly effective.
Needs improvement.
Other changes will include the manner in which teachers earn tenure and the practice of forcing districts to fire teachers who are rated as "ineffective" for two consecutive years.
But questions remain about how to give specific, quantitative measures for classes that don't have state tests, such as music, art and physical education.
Education groups support the reform and the two-year delay.
Linda Hampton, president of the Oklahoma Education Association, said her group has been pushing for a delay. "We all want it to work," she said. "We want it to be the best it can be."
Teachers support the reform, said Ginger Tinney, executive director of Professional Oklahoma Educators. But pushing through the process too quickly could be disastrous.
"This has some serious consequences," Tinney said. "This affects people and their children. This is important. Let's calm down. Let's slow down. Let's get it done, and let's do it correctly."

Burlington officer pleads not guilty in shootingThe Associated Press | July 26,2013BURLINGTON A Vermont police officer who had his nose broken and suffered a concussion after a mentally ill man hit him in the head pleaded not guilty Thursday to criminal charges of shooting the man on a Winooski street.
Winooski Cpl. Jason Nokes initially told state police investigators that he thought the man who had assaulted him was carrying a knife, but he later admitted he never saw a weapon, court documents said.
Nokes, 42, of Milton, was released after he entered the pleas to charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and providing false information to state police when they conducted the independent investigation.
The Burlington Free Press reported that more than two dozen off-duty police and correctional officers attended the arraignment in apparent support for Nokes, a 19-year police veteran.
Nokes had no comment after the hearing.
The April 25 encounter began when Isaac Sage, 35, of Winooski, refused to leave a private gym.
Court documents say Sage assaulted Nokes on the street after Nokes tried to handcuff him. Nokes shot Sage in the leg while another officer was trying to subdue Sage.
Sage was not seriously injured. Charges against Sage were dismissed after he was found incompetent to stand trial.
Chittenden County States Attorney T.J. Donovan said that the case centers on Nokes claim Sage had a knife.
He was knowingly giving false information to a law enforcement officer for the purpose of deflecting the investigation from his actions and was attempting to provide further justification for shooting Sage, according to an affidavit by Vermont State Police Sgt. Jacob Zorn.MORE IN Vermont NewsSUNDERLAND Holding a sandwich bag containing a squirming, Eastern red-spotted newt, Evan Grant...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
About 1 in every 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer. The exact cause of breast cancer is not known and most likely involves many factors, including genetic, environmental, nutritional and hormonal.
Go to the following MedicineNet.com articles to get the facts:
Breast cancer elicits so many fears, including those relating to surgery, death, loss of body image and loss of sexuality. Managing these fears can be facilitated by information and knowledge.
The following is a listing of risk factors.
Age & Gender
The most prominent risk factors for breast cancer are age and gender. Men can develop breast cancer, but women are 200 times more likely to develop breast cancer than men. Breast cancer is four hundred times more common in women who are 50 years old as compared to those who are 20 years old. Seventy-five percent of women who develop breast cancer have no risk factors other than age.
Family History
A family history of breast cancer will increase the risk of developing breast cancer in a woman by three to five times.
Menstruation & Menopause

Herencia Altès is a project a long time in the making. For generations the family were humble grape growers, with vineyards dispersed around the village of Batea. In recent times, they have decided to give these grapes their own personality in the form of these hand-crafted wines. While Terra Alta is not yet a well-known region - tucked away in the southeastern corner of Catalonia it borders Aragón and Valencia - it is one of the largest areas in Catalonia under vine.
With plenty of old Garnatxa (Catalan for Grenache) bush vines, this is amongst the best regions in terms of quality and authenticity. The home village is Batea. Built upon Roman and Moorish foundations it preserves a beautiful historical centre and its grand church is testament to its past glories.
In terms of viticulture, it is the most important village in Terra Alta accounting for over 50% of its entire grape production. Most of the grapes are sold to cooperatives or large companies outside the region.
Herencia Altes is my dream to put Terra Alta on the map and show the true quality of these wonderful old vines." – Nuria Altés - Winemaker

Dear Carolyn
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Hi, Carolyn:
I got married about a year ago, at age 30. Before that, I lived with my parents for a few years in my 20s to save some money after school. This really helped us relate to each other better as adults, but it also made it very tough for them when I moved back out and later got married.

Even though she likes my husband a lot, Mom is always trying to maneuver ways to see me alone, excluding him. Is this normal?
By the way, it's not like my husband and I are conjoined at the hip; I visit my parents by myself plenty of the time. I feel like Mom is uncomfortable relating to the married me and doesn't enjoy my company unless I'm alone. Any thoughts?
– Virginia
DEAR VIRGINIA: Have you brought this out into the open with your mom? "I may be reading this wrong, but it appears to me that you're always trying to maneuver ways to see me without Chuckles. Is there something you're not telling me? Please don't be afraid to tell me the truth."
Then don't react emotionally when she does. It might help if you think of any truth as a better outcome than, "Oh, no, everything's fine," which has almost zero productive worth when you've already witnessed an odd pattern in someone's behavior. All you can say to that one is, "OK, I'll take you at your word, but if anything changes let me know" — and see if her way of dealing with you and your husband does in fact change.
If she does offer up a reason, then handling her answer gracefully will help with whatever follows.
The most likely answer is that she just misses your company, and your company is something that changes when a spouse is or isn't around. A less-likely but still common answer is that she doesn't like your husband or doesn't like the way you are around him.
You and she are more likely to withstand the dropping of a bomb like that if you hold it together, thank her for her candor, say you need time to process the information, and then do just that.
For what it's worth: It's normal for family chemistry to change when spouses are present, so occasional solo visits make sense. If your mom just can't abide him (or you with him), then it's time to dig into why.
DEAR CAROLYN: As an adult, is it ever OK to tell your parent you don't like their significant other and/or that you think their significant other doesn't treat them well? I feel like my dad is being taken advantage of by his girlfriend. He spends a lot of time and money and effort on her. She spends little of those things on him. But since I'm an adult, this has no bearing on my day-to-day life. And since my dad's an adult, well, he gets to choose who he spends time with. I just hate watching it.
– Anonymous
DEAR ANONYMOUS: "So, how are things going with Girlfriend. Are you happy?" Then, you listen. Often people will find a way to tell you whether your concern would be welcome or seen as an imposition.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Scones
Serving Size
Prep Time
Total Time
This is what I made for our breakfast after an early-morning trip to the airport to drop off my parents. There's a small secret to the glaze!
This is based on a recipe from Epicurious, but I jazzed it up a bit to make it more cookie-flavored.
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 7.33 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
- 6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 0.75 cup chocolate chip
- 0.75 cup cold milk
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In your favorite mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
- Add the butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter into the flour until it yis small, floury crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Next, use a fork or whisk to mix the egg yolk, milk, vanilla and vinegar together in a liquid measurement cup. Add slowly to the dry ingredients as you stir. The dough should mostly come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and use your hands to add enough flour that the dough is not too sticky. Form the dough into an 8-ish-inch disk, and cut like a pizza to make six triangles.
- Transfer the scones to a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool halfway while you make the glaze.

I am sad that they didn't have the deleted footsge! I was at a test screening in early 1986. There was about 15 minutes they cut!
See Rebecca's review here
But why not include the commentary? Just doesn't make much sense.
I had the original and this re-release is a major improvement in my opinion. Number one on my list when double-dipping is image quality. I am not a big fan of commentaries so I picked this one up. The print definitely looks cleaner to me and it seems like the colors are quite a bit brighter.
I have the old one and I have no reason to upgrade and the old trasfer is cystal clear on my T.V .
Was going to get it, but it didn't have the commentary track from the previous release so no sale, at least not until its in the really, really cheap bin or I find it used for under $5. What a waste...
Ohhh. Okay, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one, or maybe it was a Canada thing or something.....:D
My brother-in-law picked it up and it was a single disc as well. I guessed they had a 2 disc planned but maybe scratched it at last minute and decided to go with the single disc.
New Ferris Bueller Dip Has anyone picked this up? I just did and its a single-disc release. The post from here said it would be a two-disc set...

One of our companies server seems to have fallen victim to a php backdoor attack. I've managed to located and close several holes, but one seems to persist that is writing a php/webshell backdoor into our C:/windows/temp.
Microsoft Security Essentials seems to do a good job of detecting this threat and removing it before it can execute but the problem is I need to view the file security properties to see which app pool is creating these files (we have about 16 different sites on this server).
Does anyone know of a program/way that I can to monitor file writes to C:/windows/temp?

Where To Buy The Best Testosterone Booster
Well, that issue may be blamed on raised levels of DHT. This normal undesirable result of most testosterone boosters is the factor the angry bald men at the top of test boosters are … well, for the shortage of a higher phrase "mad and bald". DHT can be a hormone that is certainly perfectly healthy in regular amounts, in case these are elevated, the user becomes aggressive, loses hair, suffers oily skin and acne due to oil. Many testosterone boosters do not resolve this obstacle. P6's exclusive blend carries a powerful DHT inhibitor that prevents the merchandise from increasing it. This indicates that P6 will not have the side-effect of anger, hair thinning or a few of the aforementioned adverse effects.
Cycle Testosterone Boosting Supplements For Best Results???? @hodgetwins
Nitric Oxide Supplements
One great way to increase your testosterone is using nitric oxide supplements, which http://themaximum.org has a great article on. These nitric oxide boosters have been shown to be extremely promising in the search for higher testosterone levels.
There are lots of circumstances where men have to have some passion about having intercourse, and likewise this is proven to be an easy thing to do whenever you're young without using NO2 supplement boosters or testosterone pills. There are old individuals who desire to rekindle that interest back. However, they are making use of a difficult time provided that they get to experience sexual dysfunctions while they get old.
It was found that the ZMA group, which also used the best testosterone booster, increased in strength with the average of 11.6 % even though the placebo group increased 4.6 % in strength. Exactly what is going on inside the bodies from the gamers who supplemented with zinc and magnesium? Well, testosterone shot up 30 % more on average, also to the IGF-1 (insulin human growth hormone) likewise had a small boost.

If one is a fan of old photos, it isn't uncommon to get pictures of males who barely weigh 200 lbs. There are old people who desire to revive that passion back. However, they are making use of a hard time provided that they get to experience sexual dysfunctions while they get old. If a muscle and testosterone strength supplement is reliable, the essential thing you'll typically notice is surely a boost in strength. Keep in mind, as soon as you establish strength you take place to be also establishing muscle, so strength equates to muscle. It was found that the ZMA group increased in strength with the average of 11.6 % even though the placebo group increased 4.6 % in strength.
Biomuscle might be the best muscle and strength item established by the industry. When looking to buy the best testesterone booster you should always look at reviews and do your due diligence.
Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, works as a hormone that's naturally secreted in the brain. HGH is specifically in charge of producing body cells that are particularly vital for development. Nevertheless, as a possible individual matures, one's body produces considerably less HGH. Among the impacts connected with a shortage in hormone production is a lot more obvious aging procedure as well as other aging-related medical disorders. GenF20 Plus can be a health supplement that's popular for releasing Human development hormone. Thus, it fights the unfavorable connection between aging on one's general health.

What's the best organic fertilizer for my home vegetables?
Vanessa Lake Mary, FL
Steve G Fort Collins, COWorm compost is great for adding organic matter, and has several other valuable trace minerals. Alfalfa meal is a nitrogen-heavy and good source of organic matter. Bonemeal is a good source of phosphate, and blood meal is a good source of nitrogen. Irecommend using some good compost, and getting a soil test through cooperative extension to determine what minerals your garden might be missing.
Barb M Chesterfield, MOHi Vanessa,
I live in the midwest where we have heavy clay soils. I LOVE 'Mills Magic' available at 'Rosmania'. I used to use ittwice a year but as my as my rose passion grew, it got so expensive for me to use (Besides many perennial beds, I have approx150+ roses), fanatic. I got the recipe from my friend and fellow gardener Karl Bapts_ aka; Rosenut who's a 'Master Gardener' in Indiana.
It's actually a great all purpose fertilizer. I give it to all my friends who enjoy gardening and they love it too.
This is a link to his website;
Erica Glasener Atlanta, GAI recommend mixing in compost with your soil before you plant. This will make all the difference with your vegetables. Make sure you know where it comes from (no heavy metals for food gardens).
360 Sod (Donna Dixson) Buford, GAWorm Castings are always a wonderful and magical addition to any organic planting! I would advise using caution when adding any mushroom compost and follow Erica's advice 'know where it comes from' as each mushroom farm has different ingredients forgrowing the mushrooms, and it may contain undesirables.

I recently bought X-com from Steam and thought it is one of the best games I've ever played and certainly the best turn based game. I tried Alien Invasion and I have mixed views about it which ultimately ended up me disliking the game entirely. It has some great ideas, such as the layout of the buttons and the interface making it very simple to get the desired affect quickly compared to x-coms clunky hud but the lack of fog of war, lack of music that adds suspense to the battle (instead of this random techno music) and AI that spend their TU's poorly made it a complete mood killer.
I must say X-com was was and is just about the only game that makes me clutch to the edge of my seat every time a soldier gets put in the line of fire, I remember shouting 'NO' out loud at 1:30am by mistake when Sgt.Toughnuts got shot by a sectoid!
I suppose the purpose of this post is to first of all say hi and share my gratitude for making the 2nd X-com and one that is going to surpass the original by 100 miles! I shall be purchasing this beauty as soon as I can afford to!
Thats me done for now,

UCLA freshman Zach LaVine is officially one-and-done. The 6-foot-5 guard will forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the NBA draft, his father Paul told the Los Angeles Daily News. After averaging 9.4 points for the Bruins in an uneven season, LaVine is still projected to be a potential first-round pick due to his athleticism and high ceiling.

If the 50-game suspension of Milwaukee's Ryan Braun is upheld and he is forced to serve out the punishment for a positive drug test, he will lose about $1.87 million, according to reports.
That's a lot of money for the average American, who brings in about $33K a year. It should be a lot of money for Braun too when you consider that his base salary in 2008 was "only" $455K or that he was set to make $6 million this year.
But let's be real. Dude signed a five-year contract extension in April worth $105 million.
By the time this country is voting for president in 2016, Braun will be making $19 million a year, more than triple his salary in this season of punishment. From a purely capitalistic perspective, Braun would have been stupid not to take performance-enhancing drugs if they played a role in locking up that extension.
If that idea makes you uncomfortable, or even angry, you can take it out on me via email, or you can take it out on Braun in blogs or from the stands.
Or you can point that emotion where it really belongs: toward Bud Selig, the owners and the union. They dragged their collective feet in acknowledging baseball's steroid problem to begin with, and now they've instituted a disciplinary process for testing positive that remains relatively light in comparison to the apparent benefits of the drugs. Because of that, there will always be questions as to whether a positive test is the result of the player's negligence or a conscious attempt to circumvent the system. If a player doesn't care about being in the Hall of Fame -- and if you believe what some of them say, a lot of players nowadays don't -- why not take a PR hit, have a representative issue an apology or an excuse, triple your salary and then be cheered a year or so later by fans who just want to win?
Manny Ramirez has tested positive for PEDs multiple times, "retired," been reinstated for this season with a 50-game suspension pending and -- if he has anything left in the tank -- could very well find himself being a DH at around the same time Braun will be back on the field (assuming his suspension is upheld). Ramirez might be a quirky son of a gun, but he has two championship rings and 12 All-Star appearances and is one of three players to eclipse $200 million in career earnings. In fact, three of baseball's top five career earners have PED allegations hanging over their heads, and those three -- Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds –- have collected almost $700 million in combined salaries thus far, according to Baseball-Reference.com.
And we're supposed to be impressed with Major League Baseball ballyhooing that it's coming down "hard" on one of its stars by costing him $1.87 million this season?
You want to really clean up the game? Punish players in each year of their contracts so that positive steroid tests hurt their wallets more than their reputations. The notion that being exposed as a possible cheater is a strong enough deterrent is just disingenuous PR spin. Baseball was never as puritanical as revisionists make it out to be. The game's history is filled with philanderers, drunks and racists -- and that was the "Golden Age." If the game really wants to stop PEDs, it will stop pretending it operates in a "Leave It To Beaver" world and acknowledge that it's just trying to keep up with the Kardashians like every other money-driven business.
Think about it: Blood testing for HGH in the minors didn't start until 2010. Major leaguers won't be subjected to blood tests for the first time until next month. If the powers-that-be in baseball really care about the game's integrity, why did testing for HGH take so long to institute? Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent were busted for receiving HGH shipments four years ago. Are we to believe this really was the fastest baseball could respond?
Baseball didn't really want to respond any sooner because offense is good for business -- both corporate and personal.
I remember interviewing former MLB catcher Javy Lopez in 2003 in Atlanta as he was in the midst of the best season of his career. He was noticeably more ripped that year than the year before, and I asked him about the key to his improved play and physique. Lopez, who was in a contract year, looked me right in the eyes and told me that his wife had started baking chicken instead of frying it. He went on to sign a three-year, $22.5 million contract with Baltimore. Mind you, in his previous three seasons, Lopez had averaged 45 runs, 17 home runs and 69 RBIs. In 2003, he scored 89 runs, hit 43 dingers and drove in 109.
Baked chicken.
Yeah, OK.
But if Lopez took steroids -- and he seems to have come close to admitting he did in a 2010 interview -- I can't say I blame him. Just as I can't fault Braun for doing so, if he did. I'm glad he's appealing the suspension, and I'm glad he intends on going to Saturday night's awards dinner in New York to collect his MVP trophy.
If the people there are angry about it, if MVP runner-up Matt Kemp is angry about it, if baseball purists are angry about it, then they should be criticizing Selig and the union at least as much as Braun. He's just the scapegoat du jour. The real culprit is the weak system in place that slaps wrists and stuffs pockets at the same time.
