By Angie Trudell Vasquez
The terrible crimes committed during the Boston Marathon should not stall the urgent effort to reform our immigration system.
What happened in Boston is not the fault of the 11 million people who are in the United States right now without proper documentation. Look around you. The immigrants you come in contact with are good, hardworking people who only want a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
Many immigrants came over when they were very young. It wasn't even their decision, and this country is the only country they have ever known.
But our current immigration system doesn't take that into account. Instead, it separates children from their parents, who are either sent back to their country of origin or thrown into prison.
Pro-family initiative
If you believe that families are an important institution, you should be for immigration reform. And if you believe children should be with their parents, you should be for immigration reform. Immigrants make us rich in diversity and culture. Our willingness to welcome in people from all over the world is a huge credit to the United States.
And immigrants don't sap our social safety net. They contribute more in taxes than they actually use in government programs, according to a recent study in the Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare.
Yes, the government should do a background check for violent crimes on immigrants before they can become citizens so as to keep out anyone who would do us grave harm. But if they clear that hurdle, they deserve a path to citizenship.
And that path shouldn't take forever. Today, there are immigrants in this country legally who have waited 20 years to become a citizen. That's just cruel.
The path to citizenship should also be affordable. And the rules should be spelled out and fair for everyone.
Soon after the Boston bombings, a few Republican politicians made unfortunate comments suggesting that this dreadful event should upend the drive to immigration reform.
But now more Republicans are grasping that this is neither fair nor wise. The Republicans lost the presidential race in 2012 in part because they showed disdain for immigrants who are here without proper documentation. Infamously, Mitt Romney told them to "self-deport." That was an insensitive and ridiculous answer, and it deprived the Republicans of a line of attack against President Obama, who has deported more immigrants and at a faster pace than any president in history. It is not something he should be proud of.
Neither party has done right by immigrants, and too many families have suffered as a result.
We are a better country than this. As a nation of immigrants, we need to be true to ourselves by passing comprehensive immigration reform now.

Four Principles for Reasonable Immigration Reform
I am the grandson and great-grandson of legal immigrants to the United States. It is not lost on me that this great nation is a diverse nation of immigrants and that continued acceptance of immigration is essential to maintain our heritage and to remain the light of freedom for the world. However, while it is necessary to avoid bigotry and xenophobia, it is also evident that reasonable immigration control by reasonable laws is required given the situation of the world. It is my belief that the immigration laws of the United States can be best reformed by finding the political will to predicate changes on four completely reasonable principles addressing application for entry, disposition of immigration law violators (illegal aliens), granting of publicly funded benefits, and birthright citizenship. By addressing these four areas, US immigration law can take away the incentive for making illegal entry into the United States, and greatly simplify enforcement. Border security, another necessity of immigration reform, must also be enhanced simultaneously, and I will not address that topic here; but enhanced security in combination with addressing the four basic principles of policy reform will have the effect of facilitating other modifications that are necessary to ease restrictions and bureaucracy involved with legal entry, and allowing the more liberal changes to our immigration laws that we are currently debating.
First, any reasonable immigration reform policy must recognize that application for legal entry into the United States is something that must always be done from outside the United States, or while visiting the United States legally. No person who is in the United States in violation of immigration law (illegal alien) should ever be granted legal status without leaving and then applying for legal re-entry from the outside via the appropriate and legal procedures. Any policy that conflicts with this requirement invites illegal entry by rewarding it, and is absolutely unacceptable.
Second, any person who has violated immigration laws of the United States and who is caught in the United States illegally must be deported and forever barred from re-entry. There can be no exceptions. This does not mean the United States must engage in "round-ups" or "mass deportations", it just means that illegal aliens must be deported as they are caught.
Third, any reformed immigration policy must absolutely recognize that no person who is in the United State illegally is entitled to any benefits or services supported by public funds; and that identification and proof of legal status is an absolute requirement for application for any such benefits and services. This does not imply that emergency services and emergency healthcare should be withheld; however, once the emergency situation is resolved, deportation of persons here illegally must follow.
Fourth and most controversial, the privilege of citizenship can no-longer be granted to children born in the United States when the mother is not authorized to be here legally under the jurisdiction of the United States. These children are here as illegally as the mother and, in my view, altering policy and law in this manner does not conflict with the Constitution for several reasons. The words of the 14th Amendment indicate that birthright citizenship applies to "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". A person who is here illegally and without the knowledge of the government of the United States, and who is in the very act of defying the laws of the United States, cannot and should not be considered under the jurisdiction of the United States. I have also seen nothing in the record of the original congressional debate regarding the 14th Amendment that indicates the originators were considering illegal aliens at the time of the amendment. They were considering Native Americans, former slaves, and children of legal immigrants; but they were NOT considering illegal aliens in their debates. In addition, certain Supreme Court decisions that are often cited as supporting the traditional overly-liberal interpretation of the birthright clause actually do not address the situation of children born to illegal aliens in the United States. The frequently cited case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) dealt with the citizenship of a child of non-citizen but legal Chinese immigrants. Another frequently cited case, Plyer v. Doe (1982), dealt with the education of children brought to the US as illegal aliens, but not born here. The ruling in Plyler v. Doe may be seen to have bearing on the interpretation of the words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th Amendment, but it does not answer the question regarding children born here, and the decision was a 5-4 split of the Court, with the dissent indicating that the Court was overstepping its bounds and that the matter should have been resolved legislatively (in other words, as a matter of law or policy).
It is additionally interesting that, in the Wong Kim Ark decision, the Supreme Court indicated that birthright citizenship of the 14th Amendment would, in fact, be excluded for "members of foreign forces in hostile occupation of United States territory". While application of the term "hostile occupying force" may seem a bit harsh it is not unreasonable, considering that there are now in excess of 12 million illegal aliens (a number many times the larger than the combined US military forces) occupying the territory of the United States in defiance of our laws; and it is worthy to note that the Court was definitely allowing an exclusion of citizenship for the children of people who are present without permission and against the will of the people of the United States. There may be differing opinions on this issue, and legislative and judicial action will be required; but a change of law in this matter should be able to withstand Constitutional scrutiny.
I am very willing to accept immigration reform that facilitates legal and controlled entry into this country for anyone from anywhere; and once these four principles are accepted, other reforms that are necessary to ease restrictions and bureaucracy involved with legal entry will be facilitated. We will be free to discuss any other reasonable reforms that would facilitate the legal application process. We can discuss and implement laws allowing more legal entries. We can discuss and implement making requirements less stringent. We can discuss and implement streamlining the path to permanent residency and/or citizenship. We can discuss and implement a controlled and legal guest or migratory worker program. We can discuss and implement tougher enforcement and consequences for employers who employ illegal aliens. We can discuss any reasonable reforms, as long as it is recognized that the United States has an absolute right and duty to protect its borders and control entry of any and all persons from other areas of the world. What we cannot have is any law or policy which provides incentive of any kind to enter or remain in the United States illegally, or which provides any hope that by entering or remaining here illegally there will be a path to permanent residence or citizenship.

Danny Meyer 'Bares All' in The Restaurateur
A Danny Meyer–focused documentary takes us into the making of Eleven Madison Park.
Back in 1998, a stunningly prescient team of documentarians had the idea to film Danny Meyer as he planned, constructed, and ultimately opened Eleven Madison Park. Now, right after Daniel Humm wins a Beard Award, the footage finally gets to see the light of day when it's released as Meyer-focused documentary The Restaurateur.
While much is being made of cameos from a young, head-hair-having Tom Colicchio, the real draw of the doc is Meyer himself. The film's promotional material promises that "Danny Meyer bares all in this portrait" — we're fairly sure that this does not mean nudity (disappointing some) or tears (disappointing others), but rather some unguarded moments. We'll get to see the famously calm and unflappable restaurateur "experience gut-wrenching construction delays, miss alarming deadlines, and fire the chef of Eleven Madison Park." Drama! No official release date has been named yet.

Interventions to promote emotional health and prevent mental health problems should be chosen in the context of a strategic thinking and planning process. Taking the time to define the problem that needs to be addressed and clearly define goals will help to maximize success. Whenever possible, campuses should base their interventions on evidence-based research and best practices. Visit SPRC's Strategic Planning Approach to Suicide Prevention Model or take our strategic planning online course through SPRC's Training Institute.
- Step 1 involves understanding how suicide affects a community by describing the suicide problem and its context.
- Step 2 involves choosing long-term goals, which are reductions in suicidal behaviors in a specific group of people, associated with a specific risk factor, or in a specific circumstance or setting.
- Step 3 involves identifying key risk and protective factors on which to focus. Changing these key risk and protective factors will help achieve your long-term goals.
- Step 4 involves selecting existing interventions or developing new ones to change the key risk and protective factors identified in Step 3.
- Step 5 focuses on planning an evaluation to track progress and measure success.
- Step 6 involves implementing the interventions and the evaluation plan. Step 6 also involves using evaluation data to monitor implementation, identify and solve problems, and enhance prevention efforts.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
The second reading was as fantastic as the first! Full of adventure and, hallelujah, a GREAT female protagonist, this is a wonderful read. Pierce keeps the action coming, allowing no hiatus, but no sacrificing of character. A brilliant novel!
I loved this book when I was a kid!!!! Need to read it again as an adult, methinks!
Good YA book. This book got me really likeing the Mediviel Time Period.
In the interest of full disclosure, Tamora Pierce's novels were my first introduction to fantasy (post-Harry Potter). My rose-colored glasses are firmly in place, but I wear them for most middle-grade books regardless of when I first read them.
I meant to savor this reread. I'd entirely forgotten how short the first book is (or maybe it's that 50k words is a lot when you're eight) and devoured the entire thing in one sitting. Pierce doesn't waste time infodumping worldbuilding before she leaps into the meat of the book.
Alanna, our sometimes improbably capable and clever protagonist, is the daughter of a bookish noble of the kingdom of Tortall. She's better suited to the fighting arts than Thom, her wannabe-sorcerer twin. In the spirit of all fictional twins ever, they decide to switch places. Thom will be trained in the magical arts at the convent where Alanna would've learned to be a 'proper lady.' Alanna will become Alan, the younger Trebond training as a page/squire/knight in the capital city of Corus. Enlisted in the ruse are Maude (the village healer who taught the twins magic) and Coram (the chief guardsman of Trebond and former soldier).
I've always mourned the lack of twin interaction (because of course I'd want to know more about the sorcerer nerd), but this is very firmly Alanna's story. The novel covers a lot of ground considering its relatively short length. We get to see Alanna's exhaustive training, her surprise at making friends (including the realm's prince, Jonathan of Conte, and the King of the Rogue, a charming thief named George), bullying by an older student, her use of magic to save a friend from a magical plague, and her magically battle some ancient baddies in a mysterious, haunted desert city.
It's an impressive entree into the series, taking Alanna from age ten to fourteen with the assorted trials and tribulations that entails when you're a girl pretending to be a boy trying to become a knight. Alanna comes across as capable, but insecure. She's often surprised when her friends like her or want to spend time with her, which does grate a bit when Pierce depicts her as smart and gifted in a number of areas.
When reading it as an adult, there are a few more dislikes than I remembered.
Alanna is one of only five named female characters in the book. I could be mistaken, but from my count I found: Maude (the village healer who only appears in the first chapter), Queen Lianne (appears in one scene to be a worried parent), George's cousin Rispah (a barmaid who gets a handful of lines), and George's mother Eleni Cooper (a healer who helps Alanna when she panics about her first period). They make up less than a quarter of the named characters, which isn't ideal. The lack of representation can be chalked up to the setting (Alanna isn't even supposed to be training at the palace), but I can't help but feel it wouldn't have been difficult to make a stablehand or some of the healers women. Or perhaps include some of the women at court in the number of scenes where the pages are serving food at meals.
The book's also light on PoC/QUILTBAG representation. There aren't overt references to canonical queerness. There are only two sets of PoCs referenced in the book: Shang warriors (who are mentioned, but don't appear and aren't specifically declared PoC) and the Bazhir. The Bazhir were 'conquered' some time before the start of the book. They're depicted as largely nomadic desert dwellers without much in the way of written history and with only one city. Most of the white characters view them as superstitious. Lord Martin, who represents the King's interests in the Great Southern Desert, openly dislikes the Bazhir though he's acknowledged as 'fair,' for whatever that's worth. The one Bazhir we meet, Persopolis governor Ali Mukhtab, is intelligent and Alanna likes him. I found the description of his skin as 'walnut' in poor taste, but again: book written in the 1980s. It could've been worse.
Some of the characters don't come across as fully fleshed out as I'd like. At the close of the book, I only had a good handle on Alanna, George, Jon, Gary, Coram, and Sir Myles (man that's a lot of mostly highborn white dudes). The rest of the characters are sketchier, the beginnings of personalities tacked onto names and a few defining characteristics. It's bound to happen in a book this short with a cast this large (I counted thirty named characters), but I still felt the lack.
The antagonist, Roger of Conte, is Jonathan's adult cousin and next in line for the throne. He comes across obviously slimy and Alanna's immediate dislike is a bit nail-on-the-head. Even after Roger's taunted them into a quest that should've killed them, Jonathan doesn't suspect his cousin is truly to blame.
For all that, it's a wonderful little book with a lot of heart, good pacing, and strong worldbuilding. The language is clean and the dialogue of the pages and squires never feels too old (as in, too mature) or dated (as in, this book was written in the early 80s about pseudo-European sword and sorcerer medieval-y times). I liked the slight shifting of viewpoint throughout. It's a technique that I haven't seen used as prevalently in much of today's MG/YA (heaven forfend me from 1st-person POV) and it was the right choice to keep the word count down. Sometimes I forget that pre-Harry Potter most publishers just didn't publish longer books for middle grade and young adult readers. I'm actually surprised Alanna is this long.
Would recommend to: young readers new to or looking to expand their fantasy reading, fans of Tamora Pierce, readers who like sword and sorcery settings, and readers who like kickass heroines.
Would not recommend to: readers specifically looking for diversity, readers who prefer 1st person POV, readers who aren't fans of fantasy, and readers who prefer older viewpoint characters (Alanna is 10-14 in the book).
Light quick read. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Not as much fighting as I anticipated. Not as much magic as I imagined. I would have liked more magic, but was glad that there weren't a lot of battles. I'll be interested to see how the characters grow. Good characters.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0689878559, Mass Market Paperback)Call it fate, call it intuition, or just call it common sense, but somehow young Alanna knows she isn't meant to become some proper lady cloistered in a convent. Instead, she wants to be a great warrior maiden--a female knight. But in the land of Tortall, women aren't allowed to train as warriors. So Alanna finds a way to switch places with her twin, Thom, and take his place as a knight in training at the palace of King Roald. Disguising herself as a boy, Alanna begins her training as a page in the royal court. Soon, she is garnering the admiration of all around her, including the crown prince, with her strong work ethic and her thirst for knowledge. But all the while, she is haunted by the recurring vision of a black stone city that emanates evil... somehow she knows it is her fate to purge that place of its wickedness. But how will she find it? And can she fulfill her destiny while keeping her gender a secret?
With Alanna: The First Adventure, veteran fantasy author Tamora Pierce has created a lively, engaging heroine who will charm middle-school readers with her tomboyish bravado and have them eagerly searching for the next book in the Song of the Lioness series. Like Brian Jacques's tales of Redwall, this popular quartet is an entertaining fantasy series for younger teens. (Ages 10 to 13) --Jennifer Hubert

Let the purge begin!
Posted by David Kennedy
The Dolphins started working to get under the cap -whatever it might be- this week by releasing 4 players: Damion McIntosh, Sam Madison, Reggie Howard, and Tebucky Jones.
Of them, only Madison may return to the team under a restructured deal.
Depending on who you talk to, the Dolphins are either at a cap number of $95 million or $85 million. The discrepancy is because of the way a couple of contracts were structured last year with bonuses.
As for the cap, if the owners come to some sort of consensus today, then it might be $111 million in 2006, but if they don't, it will likely be $92 million.
And as for my two cents, the issue has little to do with the players union arguing with the owners. Yes, ostensibly it seems that they can't agree on how much they each will get in the revenue stream. But, the real problem is that the owners can't agree among themselves how the profits need to be shared among themselves. Rich teams in big markets think they deserve a bigger cut, plus the ability to keep revenue they generate in their stadiums. Small teams disagree and like the current model of complete sharing, because it keeps the league competitive. The outcome of that will drive what they offer the players union.

Most animals must learn some of the behaviours in their repertoire, and some must learn most. Although learning is often thought of as an individ-ual exercise, in nature much learning is social, i.e. under the influence of conspecifics. Social learners acquire novel information or skills faster and at lower cost, but risk learning false information or useless skills. Social learning can be divided into learning from social information and learning through social interaction. Different species have different mechanisms of learning from social information, ranging from selective attention to the environment due to the presence of others to copying of complete motor sequences. In vertical (or oblique) social learning, naïve individuals often learn skills or knowledge from parents (or other adults), whereas horizon-tal social learning is from peers, either immatures or adults, and more often concerns eavesdropping and public information use. Because vertical social learning is often adaptive, maturing individuals often have a prefer-ence for it over individual exploration. The more cognitively demanding social learning abilities probably evolved in this context, in lineages where offspring show long association with parents and niches are complex. Be-cause horizontal learning can be maladaptive, especially when perishable information has become outdated, animals must decide when to deploy social learning. Social learning of novel skills can lead to distinct traditions or cultures when the innovations are sufficiently rare and effectively transmitted socially. Animal cultures may be common but to date taxo-nomic coverage is insufficient to know how common. Cultural evolution is potentially powerful, but largely confined to humans, for reasons currently unknown. A general theory of culture is therefore badly needed.

As a filmmaker, you are focused on making a movie. You have a gazillion things on your plate. And the last thing you need is more movie production paperwork. I know the feeling. A few years back, I was on the festival circuit with a movie. And over coffee, I heard this story about some filmmakers who locked down rights to an awesome song for the movie soundtrack.
The song was from a popular New York based band. And in securing the rights to the song, the filmmakers pulled down one of those legal releases you find online. From there, they got the signature of the band leader and a CD containing the music. The music was added to the movie. The movie played well in festivals and was eventually picked up.
Despite the fact these filmmakers accepted a crappy "deal," (should have studied my sell your movie system) – These filmmakers had bigger challenges. Turns out the band broke up and the guitar player needed money. And while that guy did agree to license the performance of the song, he never agreed to license the actual lyrics. The guitarist's lawyer happily informed the filmmakers that they also needed a release from the publisher. Suffice it to say, those filmmakers had some not-so-fun times.
Protect Your Movie Production
You need to get legal clearance for everybody who works on your movie as well as every element put into your movie. This includes (but it not limited to) your story, cast, crew, locations, logos and equipment. And as stated above, special care should be given to music. In addition to the case study above, many filmmakers accidentally include non-cleared music in the backgrounds of scenes that cannot be "fixed in post."
If you are short on cash, do a web search for lawyers for the arts in your state. Many states have programs where you can at least get a discounted consultation with an attorney. Additionally, you may benefit from doing some of the legal legwork yourself. There are many filmmaking sites the provide boilerplate, generic releases. If you present one of these to an attorney for compliance, it may save you time and money.
In addition to production releases, many distribution platforms now require that you maintain an active errors and omissions policy. Without having the proper releases, getting an E&O policy may prove impossible. And your dreams of distribution may diminish significantly. This is why it is very important to work with seasoned legal and production professionals to make sure you utilize the proper releases.

This year's Summer Jam in New York came with a new surprise. The famous NYC rap group G-Unit has reunited. G-Unit now includes rappers 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and Kidd Kidd. The reunion has excluded The Game because of a prior feud that resulted in gun violence.
50 Cent has a lot on his plate with his release of "Animal Ambition" happening today and reuniting his rap group. The reunion kicked off with 50 walking on stage after being introduced and hugged by fellow Queens rapper Nas. 50 then brought around 30 to 40 people to kick off and play his classic songs 'I Get Money' and 'I Run New York.'
50 has been banned from Summer Jam since 2004 after he threw chairs into the audience but luckily for the audience there was no incidents this year. During the set, 50 also brought our Brooklyn rapper Fabolous for a remix of his summer hit 'Cuffin' Season.' New York ruled Summer Jam.
To solidify the reunion to G-Unit fans, the group released a new single titled 'Nah I'm Talking 'Bout.' The track is a G-Unit rendition of a Hit-Boy and HS87 track. This is the first song released by the G-Unit crew in six years. The song is a classic G-Unit track which makes old fans excited about what is next to come.
There is no news on any new material coming out by the new crew of G-Unit but fans are patiently waiting. All new G-Unit projects will be released under the G-Unit label which is now under Caroline and Capital Records instead of Interscope. 50 Cent is proving that he has not fallen of the map and that there is still a lot more to come.
Check out the new song 'Nah I'm Talking 'Bout' here.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 as a combination HTPC/utility "server". I have several other computers on my network and would love to be able to have LDAP services so that I can have just one set of accounts across all my computers.
I've read a very small amount about AD-LDS (formerly called ADAM), and it seems like it would allow me to do so without running a server OS in a VM, but I can't seem to find where to download and/or install it. It isn't listed in the list of Windows features/components, and Googling doesn't seem to get me anywhere, at least for Windows 7.
Is AD-LDS really what I want, and if so, is it possible to get it running on Windows 7, or will I need to run a server OS in a VM?

With the future of the soap operas deeply in doubt, is it wise for those who claim to support the genre to only root for 'their' show? One doesn't actually need to watch the combined 3.5 hours of daily daytime drama that CBS, ABC and NBC offers in order to patronize this art form. But, there are positive ways to support the cause.
Honest competition generally improves lives. Rooting for other businesses to fail, rather than promoting the good of all, often creates unexpected consequences. Sports stands as a comparable example, so let's punt to the next paragraph.
Many people consider themselves to be fans of the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB or of other professional sports. Among team competitions, people generally root for one squad, within a preferred sport (or sports), throughout their entire lives. There are those who switch allegiances along the way as well, which is their right.
Sports' fans root for their team to win a game, or a series. But, they don't want to put their opponents out of business.
The purpose of professional sports is for a large group of teams to survive. Logically, there would be no one left to play if all defeated opponents died. It's also obvious that the audience for any particular sport would drastically shrink if destruction were intended because people would have been forced to pursue other entertainment interests after their team was crushed.
CBS, ABC and NBC formerly filled their early- to mid-afternoon schedules with numerous sudsers. During those distant days many shows competed directly with each other. That's hardly the case today, as 'The Young and the Restless' (CBS), 'The "Bold and the Beautiful' (CBS), 'General Hospital' (ABC) and 'Days of Our Lives' (NBC) are the only teams left in the league.
DOOL competes directly with YR, in many markets, during at least half of its daily run. BB and GH are generally shown when no other soap is on. The 13 million-plus daily viewers of all soaps combined still represent a powerful market segment and plenty of resulting advertising dollars. So, daytime drama should survive for awhile.
All fans are obviously entitled to support whatever soap, or soaps, they prefer. But, no member of SAG-AFTRA wants more jobs to be lost through the cancellation of any remaining show.
Viewers who genuinely appreciate the human beings whose lives are connected to the continuance of these great televised plays must consider the rising importance of their own actions in a constantly evolving and connected world. Most people will surely find ways to support their TV team, while also endorsing the genre overall.

I'm currently learning how Hamming codes work and so far I am understanding it!
I have worked through several examples, and it seems to work well following the below table:
Where I get stuck however is when I have an example which its length means it ends on a parity bit. For example:
Ignore the meaning of obviously random binary string above, but the fact that it is 16 bits long, when you are error checking it, you start with p1 and then do p2, p4, p8 and finally p16. What I don't understand however, is that as there are no digits after position 16, how am I meant to work out if p16 is correct or not. If the string was 20 bits long, I know you just count 16 and skip 16, starting at p16. However as there are no bits after p16 I am a bit stuck.
If anyone has any idea, that would be awesome!

best way to not have really bad stretch marks?

I don't think there's a way to prevent them at all. With my first pregnancy I drank a lot of water, I applied lotion and oils every day to my entire body, I was also very fit and exercised 5 days a week, and I didn't get any on my tummy and a 2 on my butt, I did get a bunch on my boobs they all came out at around 2 months. With this pregnancy I've been doing the exact same thing and it looks like an animal has scractched my abdomen, not only do they itch, they hurt a lot, I have so many down there and they're super red and thick, they didn't start coming out until I was 5 months pregnant. I don't like to look at them but I know from the other stretch marks that they do fade, the ones on my butt you can't see at all and the ones on my boobs are so light I don't even notice them. That's the only place I've gotten them so far. Hopefully someone can find a way to prevent them.posted 10/08/2012 by mariajuliagill
Exercise. Before pregnancy, how much exercise you did plays a big role on how your body handles stretch marks. I was very active before pregnancy and with just a couple of weeks left to go, I have no belly stretch marks, just on my boobs. My Mom got them horribly, so I don't think it's all genetics.posted 10/07/2012 by AslynLapham
I tried EVERYTHING. I mean everything. Lotions, oils, wearing a belly band at all times to prevent stretching and mine are horrible. They say that it is genetic and I believe that now. I hope you find something to help you prevent them but if you do get them, own them! I hated mine at first but they are starting to grow and me and doctor said they will fade over time and as I lose weight. Best of luck!posted 10/07/2012 by ALEMILLE07

The New Orleans Saints are losing another free agent, as starting left tackle Jermon Bushrod has reached a five-year contract with the Chicago Bears. Bushrod's deal reportedly is worth $35.965 million, with $17.715 million guaranteed.
Bushrod's departure marks the second Saints free agent to leave the team Tuesday, the first day that free agents could sign with other teams. Earlier, backup quarterback Chase Daniel inked a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bushrod joins former Saints offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, who left earlier this offseason to become the Bears' offensive coordinator.
Bushrod said the Saints were never really a legitimate option in contract talks.
"It's crazy but it had to be done," Bushrod said Tuesday evening. "This whole process has been bittersweet. My heart is in New Orleans. I'm going to get married in New Orleans. I had my baby in New Orleans. But at the end of the day, I had to make the best move and this was it. I couldn't really wait around, and they (the Saints) knew that."
Bushrod's signing with the Bears marks the second straight season the Saints have lost a key member of their offensive line in free agency. Last season, they lost All-Pro left guard Carl Nicks on the first day of free agency after he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Saints responded by quickly signing Baltimore Pro Bowl guard Ben Grubbs. The deal Bushrod signed was similar to the five-year, $36 million ($15.9 million guaranteed) the Saints inked Grubbs to last season.
But it was clear the Saints were not going to overpay to keep Bushrod, a four-year starter who made the Pro Bowl this past season.
His loss leaves the Saints with a gaping hole on the left side of the line to protect quarterback Drew Brees' blind side.
Unless the Saints are able to land a left tackle in free agency, their top option to replace Bushrod is former second-round draft pick Charles Brown, who has been hampered by injuries in his three seasons in New Orleans.
There are some options in free agency. Among the available left tackles are Atlanta's Sam Baker, Washington's Jammal Brown and Miami's Jake Long. But it remains unclear which direction the Saints want to take.
The Saints have nine remaining unrestricted free agents: linebacker Jonathan Casillas, defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, wide receiver Devery Henderson, linebacker Ramon Humber, cornerback Elbert Mack, defensive end Turk McBride, tackle William Robinson, special teamer Courtney Roby and linebacker Scott Shanle.

VILLIE-MORGON, France (AP) — Time trial world champion Tony Martin has dropped out of the Tour de France to focus on his recovery ahead of the London Olympics.
Martin broke the scaphoid bone of his left hand during the first stage on July 1. He stayed in the race, aiming for a possible win in the first long time trial.
But the powerful German finished 12th in Monday's 25.8 mile time trial to Besancon after a flat tire.
Omega Pharma Quick Step doctor Helge Riepenhof said Martin had to withdraw from the Tour to maximize his chances of performing well in London.

I'm serious. DO NOT DO THIS. There's a rumor going around that you can get infinite void crystals and it's true but you are going to get banned for doing it. I saw it in an emailed tip from someone who will remain annonymous and I told them to immediately stop the activity and delete their accumulated thousands of shards. The person even made a macro to get the shards faster...
Step 1: Go to Karazhan
Step 2: Purchase Quest Ring if you haven't
Step 3: Disenchant Quest Ring
Step 4: Tell the NPC that you lost the Quest Ring
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 to 5 for infinite void crystals
Step 6: Get Banned.
There are better ways to make gold that will not get you banned. Try the forums here if you're curious.
Blizzard - Please fix this bug. Immediately. My mongoose sales depend on it! This change probably occurred inadvertently when they made pvp items disenchantable. I'm hoping if I get the word out they will crush this bug on tuesday. If any of you are stupid enough to do this even a handful of times I am going to personally come to your house and slap you.

wouldnt it suck if blizz comes out and says working as intended. But on a serious note if you dont want your readers to do it don't advertise it. BEcause now im curious and probably going to try it. If i get banned so be it although i think it would only be a temp ban.
Markco said... October 21, 2010 at 4:40 PM
I actually thought of this the moment they said old content items were becoming disenchantable, but I never took the time to test it. I doubt this person would be the only one to find it in the coming weeks ahead. I figure take the risk, advertise it and hope blizzard fixes it. I know for a fact that a small number of blizzard employees visit this site, so hopefully one of them will take it to their boss or something.
Yes it probably would be a temp ban but honestly I don't want people discovering this on possibly another site and doing it thinking they found a realistic gold mine. Doing this is going to absolutely get you banned.
I weighed the pros and cons and reported it, hopefully I help more than I hurt.

What are void crystals even worth anymore? Mongoose sells should be selling at a high price because of the rarity of the enchant, not because someone found a bug to produce unlimited supplys of an item to be about 2 expansions old. I remember buying some of those for trying out the 22 steps auctioneer strategy, it failed miserably, ending up shattering them or something.

I think even Bliz can see the difference between someone doing it once to say "Ha ha that does work!" and outright farming and exploiting.
I suspect most readers would be in the former category.
And I agree with Markco in posting it this way. Someone out there likely would have advertised this as a legit method. Presenting it this way hopefully warns people, and perhaps draws enough attention to it that Bliz will do something to fix it rather than letter innocent people discover this and then get banned.
I will admit it would be fun to try once. . . just to see it.
Mongoose has been selling for minimal profit (under 400) on my server (with 4g LPS and 6g void crystals) for forever. I think there are people who farm kara or BC heroics for something and end up DE'ing a pile of stuff.
The patch actually jumped the value of my LPS severely, sold around 100 the first day at 11g a piece.
Throughout wrath, I've gotten some significant profit from shattering voids and reselling as LPS, in addition to using both for mongoose. But the prices got so low that it almost wasn't worth it. And the mongoose profit has ranged from negative to 40-50g even with the low mat prices, so I had a big pile of shards and crystals sitting in my bank on patch day when I noticed the price go up.

I don't really see what is so different about this. You can go to halas and buy a 2gold weapon and de it for greater planars. Sure it's free but it really doesn't feel like a misuse of game mechanics. I would expect it's an error but would be surprised you would be banned if you did it to make an enchant or two
Anonymous said... October 21, 2010 at 7:11 PM
Haha. I always found the limiting factor in making mongooses (mongeese?) was the dust, even while I have tailoring to d/e netherweave gear, but maybe that's just my weird server.
The 'rarity of the enchant' is no longer an issue - the recipe drops from Moroes for anyone who can learn it 100% now, and you can easily 2-man that.
Anyway, not sure what happened in 4.01 (agility probably became even more useful), but mongoose is just flying off the shelves right now, so, er, yeah...don't do this!

The difference is the items from the vendor in Halaa are limited supply, so you can't constantly stand around and buy them all day.

In hala you can stand and buy them all day. They restock. Different time frame in some fashion slower but all still able to be done. To go and do it to make 2 enchants sell them and go back....No difference to me.

Good grief, Blizz isn't going to ban anyone for doing this. Markco is just fear-mongering so it won't hurt his enchant sales.

Another post of interest would be.....what impact does Marko have on the AH. I wouldnt be surprised your writing impacts some economies.

Kammler said... October 23, 2010 at 9:37 AM
The issue isn't how often you do this or how much you make from it, the issue is that it is a violation of the Terms of Use and the EULA.
To quote Blizz in the TOU here, "You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:
a.) use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the Service, any Game or any Game experience".
And to quote from the EULA, "certain acts go beyond what is "fair" and are considered serious violations...(including but)...not necessarily limited to, the following:
(i) Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players".
So whether this is considered a cheat (debatable) or an exploitation (pretty cut and dried), Blizz CAN ban you for this action.
Two specific points of emphesis here.
1) Whether a player gets banned is up to Blizz. I'm sure its like any other issue--judged on a case by case basis. One person who "tests the water" to see if it really works may be treated differently than the player who spends two hours farming, emptying bags, and farming again. Makes total sense.
2) Marcko alerting people to this bug and risk of ban is a valuable part of what he does for his subscribers, and the gold community as a whole. Frankly, he's doing the job we expect him to do--keeping us up to date on gold making issues.
If you want to take your chances, go ahead. If you think the risk is worth the reward, and that even a temp ban is tolerable, that's your call.
But please don't hate on Marcko for telling people to be wary. There are many ways to earn gold in this game without trying to find the easy, quick game bug to exploit.

Best way to do it is spend about 6 hours on another acct. Level it up to the point where you can get DE ability up to par. DE away. Post on AH for pennies...like a gold. Buy on another acct. Win. IF AND A BIG IF there is ever a ban, you dont lose the crystals or the original acct.

I have never bought a salad dressing in my life. Whenever I'm at the grocery store I am amazed at the variety on offer at astronomical prices. Many of them contain lots of preservatives to keep them looking wonderful on that shelf for the untold numbers of days, weeks, or even months it may take to end up in your shopping basket -- and your fridge. The sodium and sugar contents alone should have you re-thinking your purchase, especially when you learn how easy it is to make a salad dressing.
Whether it is an Italian, a Ranch or even a Caesar dressing, every one of those bottles lined up on the grocery shelf contain three main ingredients, and mastering the technique of combining them and adding any other flavorings is a snap. Better still, making one at home will cost you a fraction of what you'd pay at the store. And the bonus? You get to control everything that goes in there. Way healthier, way cheaper and way more tasty. How can you go wrong?
So what are the three stars in this show? An emulsifier (think Dijon mustard), an acid (think red wine vinegar) and oil (such as extra virgin olive). Simple, yet true. The key is to make sure the emulsifier gets the oil and the vinegar to blend, which, because they are polar opposites, they don't like to do. All you need to do is close your eyes and remember a dressing that 'separated' in its vessel. The oil, non polar and less dense, was sitting on top of the polar -- and heavier -- vinegar. Whether you poured it or ladled it onto your salad, all you got was oil and a faint taste of vinegar. Yuck.
Now don't roll your eyes and think "she's talking polar opposites and it sounds too complicated". Just read on and you'll see it's not a hard thing to accomplish.
Here's what you'll need to try a basic vinaigrette:
1 Large Bowl -- don't make the mistake of using something small. You'll need elbow room to whisk.
1 Whisk
1 TBSP Dijon Mustard
3 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
9 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Now place the mustard in the bowl and add in the vinegar, salt and pepper. Give it a good mix with your whisk, making sure you've smoothed out any lumps.
While whisking, add a couple of drops of oil and blend thoroughly. You need to do this slowly to get the emulsification to 'catch'. Now add in a few more drops, whisking all the time. After a few of these drop-adding steps, you should feel the dressing start to thicken which means the magic has happened and you can begin to pour the oil in a little more aggressively. Just don't forget to keep whisking. If you aren't patient at the beginning, and you dump all your oil in at once you'll never be able to obtain an emulsification, no matter how long your poor arm tries. The result will be a dressing with an oil slick on the top that is unappealing and hard to work with.
The basic ratio for a vinaigrette is 1 part emulsifier, 3 parts acid and 9 parts oil. However -- and this is important -- you need to trust your palette! Depending on the acid you've selected, you may not need to use all the oil. I usually taste the dressing when I've used about 1/2 of the oil -- and I taste it with a lettuce leaf, which is exactly how you'll enjoy it on the plate. Tasting it with a spoon does not give you a realistic impression. In some cases you will find that the dressing tastes wonderful as it is and you can pour the remaining oil back into its bottle for another use.
Now does that sound hard? It really isn't. Give it a try, and then play around with different ingredients to make a flavored vinaigrette to your liking. Some ideas are listed below, or experiment on your own to make an affordable, delicious and healthy dressing you'll be delighted to eat. Oh, and I always make plenty, because it will keep in a glass jar in your fridge for at least a week (longer if you haven't used egg yolk or added anything perishable like garlic or shallot). Bon appetit!
Dijon Mustard
Egg Yolk
Miso Paste or Honey
Crushed Fruit
Wine Vinegar
Rice Vinegar
Lemon or Lime Juice
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Rice Bran Oil
Walnut Oil
Canola Oil

A French Pete is a double dutch oven. Two people fart simultaneously under the covers, then try to victimize each other (or, potentially, a third party) with the trapped gases.
Jessica and Trenton farted a vicious French Pete under the blanket, and the cat ran to safety in the next room.

Candlewood is nice if you are traveling and need a kitchen. There is no complementary breakfast, but there is laundry and a full sized fridge.
In past stays here, the staff has been able to recommend very fun things to do in the area. This time they were not as helpful with this.

50 Cent's House Burgled
Some young burglars tried to break into rapper 50 Cent's home in Connecticut on Tuesday morning, however, they didn't get very far.
In fact, Santos Padilla and Alexander Hernandez didn't even make it out of the mansion before they were caught by police.
One burglar was found in a closet, drinking a bottle of wine that he had stolen from the house. The other was found hiding in a different area of the house, and they were both in possession of marijuana when the cops entered the house.
The rapper wasn't inside the home at the time of the break-in, and the burglars climbed over the fence of the home—which was previously owned by boxer Mike Tyson—and made their way inside the house through a door that was unlocked.
According to the police report that was made, one of the burglars, Alexander Hernandez, was discovered, "hiding in a closet, drinking a bottle of wine he had stolen from the residence."
The second suspect, Santos Padilla, was found hiding in a different section of the house.
Both Hernandez and Padilla were released on a $50,000 bond each. Hernandez was released to the cops, where he has outstanding warrants that he is wanted for.

Popular Remax.com Offers New Online Experience
DENVER, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Starting today, consumers will enjoy an entirely new experience on remax.com, the most visited real estate franchise website. RE/MAX is the first real estate franchisor to provide a consistent web experience across desktops, tablets, and smart phones. As the culmination of a strategic, yearlong roll-out of new consumer-focused technology tools, the new website will build on its #1 reputation to become even more popular with consumers and more influential in the real estate industry.
More than just a redesign, the new remax.com offers a simple user-interface, along with an ability to create personal preferences, giving home buyers and sellers easy access to what matters most: millions of home listings with larger photos, helpful information, and a property inventory larger than any other real estate brand site.
"Because today's consumers start their home search online, we want to simplify and personalize their experience as much as possible," said Margaret Kelly, RE/MAX CEO. "Remax.com utilizes state-of-the-art technologies and is the most sophisticated technology tool we have ever released. Everyone will enjoy the ease of use and the depth of information available on the new remax.com." Remax.com now gives each visitor an individualized experience beginning with a home page that continually updates to reflect their search pattern and preferences. The search experience is more powerful than ever - featuring data on more than 87 million properties nationwide, both for sale and those previously sold. This gives every visitor a complete market perspective on any home they're considering buying or selling.
For users on the go, the new remax.com becomes the latest addition to the RE/MAX Mobile Suite, as it is both mobile-ready and tablet-friendly. Users can tap and swipe through oversized photos of property listings with easy-to-use controls. Other features include a "Quiet Mode" that allows visitors to turn off all other content and text on a page to focus on the large-scale property images. And, home buyers can save listings, share them via social networks and rank them based on their desirability or their "Awesomeness" factor.
Collaborating with RE/MAX on the development of the new website were four respected technology companies. Homes.com created the consumer-facing platform and mobile capability. 1000Watt was a strategic consultant providing the visual design and user experience. The Search Agency designed the SEO architecture and integration. And Reliance Networks is powering the agent-facing components and commercial property platform.
Together, the innovative developments released today add to the legacy of the RE/MAX online presence. As the most-visited real estate franchise website, remax.com attracts over 4 million total visits each month. Additionally, the word 'RE/MAX' remains the most searched keyword among real estate brokerages.
Earlier this year, RE/MAX launched a complete new mobile suite including the RE/MAX mobile app, available via the App Store or Android Marketplace, and a new iPad app. Last November, RE/MAX also launched the industry's first truly global online real estate online resource, global.remax.com, which offers nearly 700,000 listings in more than 60 countries and draws more than 2 million total visits each month. And in October, remaxcommercial.com, a new, standalone RE/MAX Commercial website, made its debut.
The RE/MAX network enjoys #1 market share in the United States and its agents are regularly recognized for being the most productive among the national franchise brands. RE/MAX will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2013 with special events planned for the annual RE/MAX R4 Convention February 24 to 28 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
For more information, visit remax.com or joinremax.com.
About the RE/MAX Network RE/MAX was founded in 1973 by Dave and Gail Liniger, real estate industry visionaries who still lead the Denver-based global franchisor today. RE/MAX is recognized as one of the leading real estate franchise companies with the most productive sales force in the industry and a global reach of more than 85 countries.
Nobody in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.
With a passion for the communities in which its agents live and work, RE/MAX is proud to have raised more than $120 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and other charities.

Alysia Atkins poured in 12 of her game-high 14 points to help Sierra High's girls basketball team coast past Bret Harte 45-20 in Lodi Tournament action Friday.
STOCKTON - The erratic shooting and rebounding woes that led to Weston Ranch's seven-point halftime deficit to the Edison Vikings, turned into the strengths that carried the Cougars to a come-from-behind 52-47 victory in the opening matchup of the 33rd Annual Stagg Delta Queen Tournament.
STOCKTON - Manteca High stumbled in the tournament opener of the McDonald's Edison Classic, falling to San Joaquin Memorial of Fresno on Thursday, 69-50.
Ripon Christian held a slim six-point halftime lead, but used a 16 point third quarter to cruise past the Kimball Jaguars 46-31 Thursday in the opening round of the Hughson Tournament.
Weston Ranch was able to erase a six-point halftime deficit, outscoring host Bradshaw Christian down the stretch for a 68-64 win Thursday in the first round of the Bradshaw Christian Tournament.
For it to be the opening stages of the wrestling season, the East Union Lancers came out with the intensity of a squad with postseason aspirations, taking care of Edison High with three pins in a 54-30 dual match win Wednesday at the Dalben Center.
Sierra High made the trip north to take on the Tokay Tigers and outstanding defensive play helped the Timberwolves return victorious, holding the Tigers in check on their home court in a 48-38 win over Tokay Wednesday in preseason action.
RIPON - Just moments after Ripon High's standout 215-pound wrestler, Travis Smith, posted the fastest pin of the night, heavyweight Mike Goldberg of Lathrop did his even faster - and quickness isn't a trait you'd normally associate with the weight class.
Missed free throws nearly cost Sierra High's girls basketball team Tuesday at Beyer.
RIPON - The first four minutes were far from perfect for Ripon Christian, but things got straightened out in a hurry. The Knights jumped all over the visiting Hughson Huskies with a first half run and never let up in a 55-18 blowout Tuesday.
In a battle of defending league champions, it was host Modesto High of the Modesto Metro Conference that prevailed 51-45 over East Union.
MODESTO – Despite a 10-2 run by Golden Valley midway through the fourth quarter Saturday in the Consolation Championship of the Modesto City Classic, East Union found itself in position to send the game into overtime with two 3-point attempts by Brandon Cline in the closing seconds. Both long tries rimmed out and the Cougars escaped with a 65-62 win at Johansen High School.
West High of Tracy had East Union beat on the look test.
The East Union Lancers once again relied on sharp-shooting and solid defense to take a step further in the Modesto City Classic Friday night by downing Los Banos 56-45 and secure their second victory of the season.
The combination of strong defense and sure-shooting helped the Ripon Christian girls cruise to its second victory in as many nights, this time by a 48-28 margin over the Downey Knights in the consolation championship of the Escalon Tournament Friday.

Chicago Children's Theatre has engaged Illinois Governor Pat Quinn to take the Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre stage as a Celebrity Reading Ambassador at noon this Saturday, May 12. The Governor appears in support of the "Brown Bear, Brown Bear Book Drive," co-sponsored by the Chicago Children's Theatre company and Open Books, a nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of literacy in Chicago and beyond.
Governor Quinn generously volunteered to kick off the Celebrity Reading Series featured the next three Saturday afternoons prior to performance of the company's current production "A Brown Bear, A Moon and A Caterpillar: Treasured Stories by Eric Carle," playing now through May 27. His act will be followed by fellow Ambassadors Ana Belaval , WGN-TV Around Town reporter and family-friendly rocker Ralph Covert of "Ralph's World" fame, appearing on May 19 and May 26. They'll all read other Eric Carle favorites.
Governor Quinn said "We know that the best investment we can make in our future is giving our children a good education. From birth to 5 years old is the best time to make sure our kids learn that readers are leaders. That early childhood education will be the foundation for their success for the rest of their lives. I hope these children will love reading just like I did."
The theater production features a new triple bill of three Eric Carle classics: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" ; "Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." In conjunction with the presentation, Chicago Children's Theatre and Open Books are encouraging families to bring new or used early childhood reading books with them to the theater to donate to Chicago area kids in need.
And the need is great. Literacy studies indicate that 44% of America's 4th graders cannot read aloud fluently, and 61% of low-income households do not have any children's books at home.
To help combat this problem locally, all books collected at the theater before and after the show will be donated to Open Books, which will sell the books in their store and online to support its early childhood literacy programs across Chicago. For tax receipts for donations and complete information visit Open Books.
For more information about the theatre company dedicated to first-rate children's theatre in Chicago visit Chicago Children's Theatre or call 773.227.0180.
