How do I get my sweet little girl back??
Lately my oldest daughter, Lilly, has turned a complete 180 from what she used to be. She used to do everything for me with no fight, knew what was allowed and what wasn't, and didn't argue with me when I told her to stop doing something. Now, she argues with me all the time, tells me no when I ask her to stop doing something. When I try to explain something to her she starts looking off somewhere else and/or starts talking about something completely random. When I ask her why she did something that she was not suppose to do she will answer me with either 'because I'm trying to be your friend' or something that has nothing to do with what I'm asking her about. I ask her to pick up her toys and she refuses to, and sometimes yes it does get to the point where she ends up screaming or yelling at me so she gets a spanking, and i tell her that since she doesn't want to pick up her toys then she can't have them anymore, but she still doesn't pick them up. She says 'you pick them up'.

We've gone through this recently with our 5yo! I think we're on the end of this fun phase, but it was very trying over the summer. At this stage of life they seem to be really developing some true independence, and testing it out. Just remind yourself it's a phase, it's natural, and can be a teaching opportunity. Stay very firm, almost zero tolerance for a while. Give her lots of chances to make decisions and assert her independence positively, and praise it. Then hang on and ride it out. If you don't give in, teach her control, it will pass. That's what I'm telling myself, and it does seem to be paying off. I'm not just getting my sweet boy back, he's actually much more mature than a few months ago!posted 09/10/2012 by nikonajd
How do you get your sweet little girl back.. You don't sound's like shes growing up and getting a mind of her own, she will change eventually just make sure you stick to your rules and don't give in.posted 09/07/2012 by Lovebug_3
It sounds like she's power struggling with you, which in many respects is a normal part of childhood. Be extremely concise (1 or 2 sentences) when you're explaining a consequence or misbehavior since she seems to try to redirect your attention. Remain consistent in your consequences for breaking rules. I agree that her consequence for not taking care of her toys should be that she doesn't get to play with them. You could try keeping certain toys until she earns them back. Just make sure that when she's trying to earn back her toys that you have a challenging yet achievable goal for her to meet (e.g. follows __ directions in a row after asking once.) You could keep a visual reminder on a dry erase board to let her know how many more times she has to follow your directions before she earns her toy back. Keep focusing on the positive... as they say, this too shall pass.posted 09/11/2012 by neneface

The Dance Moms fans have been worried all week about Nia Frazier, the daughter of Holly Frazier, as she is highlighted on the upcoming episode of the reality show. The dancer has found herself in the middle of an executive decision by Abby Lee Miller and the 12-year-old dancer is removed from the dance troupe for the week. According to Celeb Baby Laundry on Monday, the decision has everyone concerned as the young faces are changing on the show.
Not to worry Dance Mom fans, the decision in the episode Family Comes First is absolutely temporary. The Abby Lee Dance Company isn't making a dramatic casting shakeup and the permanent undertones seen on the Lifetime commercials are just to hype the show.
This week on Dance Mom's Nia's teammates seem to share the spotlight. Kalani Hilliker, Chloe Lukasiak, Kendall Vertes and Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler all seem to dance well without Nia, but they don't look particularly worried about the decision their dance instructor has made either. Which might have some fans questioning just how serious the decision was in the first place.
The facial expressions of Nia's mom, Holly Frazier, offers up an impulsive statement that will later be reconsidered. And that's a good thing as there is more for Nia to come. In fact the star does sit out of the dance, but in the weeks to follow the star is offered an interesting opportunity to do a solo in an upcoming episode. The competition offers up a shake up for all to see on Tuesday night and that means Nia will need to wait a while before getting the spotlight all to herself.
Dance Moms is on Lifetime airing Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.

Director José Padilha brings us another rehash of an old classic. "Robocop," comes back to the big screen with a new cast, some new faces and a new suit.
Joel Kinnaman fills the metal shoes of Pete Weller as loyal husband, father and heroic cop on a deadly mission, Alex Murphy. After his death Murphy's wife Clara (Abbie Cornish) gives permission to Omnicorp to reconstitute her husband into a half human, half machine to win over the voting American public.
Meant to be a hero on the streets of a 2028 Detroit, Robocop goes off the reservation by solving his own murder and seeking a dispassionate revenge on the parties responsible for cop corruption, his death and the traumatization of his wide eyed, but otherwise unnecessary son.
With a perfunctory performance Kinnaman doesn't need the suit to be stiff and emotionless. But he does a better job swaying my sensitivities than Cornish who plays his distraught and abandoned wife who's being led astray by Omnicorp. All that golden beauty can't disguise her flat foray into the life of a woman who's lost a husband to transhumanism and corporate ownership.
This is a guy's movie all the way, or it's for chicks who love Call of Duty without the thrill of getting that head shot herself. The combat simulation and actual combat scenes are fun, but come with such frequency and similarity that they feel stale and superfluous.
With the addition of such Hollywood heavy hitters as Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton and Gary Oldman, the expectation is that "Robocop" will rise above the string of imagination-challenged remakes that now define cinema, but unfortunately with an undeveloped plot and more severely underdeveloped subplot this visit to the 80s feels best served by leaving it there.
The movie begins with a generous enough crime mystery, but then is abandoned for too long in favor of the lengthy transformation scenes. The core conflict of cop betrayed by his own is lost.
I don't remember having to watch breathing exposed lungs and mushy brains in the first make and really wanted to gag, actually I think I did, watching them here. An unnecessary visual that serves no other purpose than being gross.
Once Robocop is released onto the streets it gets a little greasy and the story just slips by in an anemic attempt at action. After the millionth time we have to witness his weak ass murder it's clear the story is too puny to distract us from the thromp of his annoying footfalls and whir of his mechanized limbs.
The key theme and main source of intrigue is our definition of safety and trust. With Samuel L. Jackson's over the top advocacy for machine occupation it's unclear which stance the movie takes. Does it really believe America is the greatest place on earth and would benefit from these kinds of forces "protecting" it or is it making fun of an America that might believe this?
Can American policy makers who are in bed with the very corporations who stand to benefit from wartime machinery on American soil be trusted with the future of American safety? Or, is this movie commenting on how corporations and our government unite to exploit the sensibilities and fears of the American public and manipulate voters to support policies that harm them?
This is a "to be or not to be" story. Is America to be occupied by "incorruptible" automatic gun toting machines without feelings or not to be? The basic and obvious controversy of the American people's "robophobia" is questioned. The less obvious and real world question concerning the value of American lives over the lives of world citizens is also raised along with the value or cost of public opinion.
It's a timely topic as we stabilize and pacify other countries. Also, the idea of being the property of some corporation is just sad, but not too far from where we all are.
Manipulation is the root motivation for most of the supporting characters, some for good, some for self (and thus evil?). Each American represents something that corporations want – a vote and dollars. That is the nature of capitalism, yet, here we get a story that demonizes it.
I wish I had better things to say about this film having loved the original, with Kinnaman and his family ties to Kansas City, Kansas and my love for both Keaton and Oldman, but unfortunately the studios have not yet realized that to remake a classic means they must improve upon it and "Robocop" 2014 does nothing to warrant this intrusion on the 1980s.

As great as Adele's first two 21 singles were, you could say there was something left to be desired in the music video department. Not that the clips for "Rolling in the Deep" or "Someone Like You" were bad by any means—they were both perfectly nice and had some striking imagery and whatnot—but they weren't all that memorable or interesting, and if you couldn't remember anything about either in five years no one at Popdust would blame you. So for the album's third single, "Set Fire to the Rain," aspiring video director Andrew Vallentine took matters into his own hands, helming a highly unofficial video for the song, starring a trio of ballet dancers and, of course, a fake Adele.
And you know what? It's pretty damn good. It's certainly professional-looking enough that if you didn't already know the fraudulent setup, you wouldn't be able to tell immediately (or possibly at all) that it was fan-created. The fake Adele is very convincing, especially because Vallentine keeps her in shadows and quick cuts for most of the video (only when the camera lingers on her in the open is it an obvious double), and the choreography and interplay between the dancers is pretty fantastic. ("The music video portrays a man struggling with his sexuality," explained Vallentine to Idolator, "While the girl in love with him fights to hold on as everything she thought she knew comes crashing down before her." Sure.)
Whatever the real "Set Fire to the Rain" video ends up being, it's going to have a lot to live up to here. Maybe it's best to just put this fake vid into rotation and get to work on a kickass "Rumour Has It" clip, Adele.

This just in from associated press, reggae super star Tarrus Riley's album is number one on the Billboard chart.
Love Situation, the latest album from reggae superstar Tarrus Riley, has debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae chart this week.
The album was released independently on February 4th in a partnership between JukeBoxx Records, Cannon Productions, BSMG and Zojak World Wide. Along with its debut on the #1 spot on Billboard's reggae chart, the album has also been steady at #1 on the iTunes reggae chart for the last week.
Reviews of the album have been excellent, and Riley and his band are currently on tour in the United States performing to enthusiastic crowds in the western states.
Pat Meschino of Billboard Magazine stated, "Tarrus Riley's Love Situation is a stunning tribute to Jamaican rock steady as well as a landmark career recording. The use of classic Jamaican rhythms, which are given renewed luster through the immaculate production of Dean Fraser and Shane Brown, as well as the artist's superb, deeply affecting singing and songwriting yields an irresistible album that may finally bring Tarrus and by extension, contemporary Jamaican reggae, a much deserved, widespread audience throughout North America."
The overwhelming response to Love Situation is a testament to the power of high-quality, professionally produced reggae music.

State Reps. Kraig Powell (R- Heber) and Gage Froerer (R -- Huntsville) introduced and pushed for three different reforms of Utah's unusual liquor laws during the legislative session that ended March 13 -- HB 285, regarding the separate dispensing area requirement, HB 338, regarding limited club licenses, and HB 352, regarding sampling at distilleries.
None of the bills received a final vote on either the House or Senate floor.
The legislative session evidenced a breakdown in communication when it comes to liquor laws -- the opposing sides often appeared to talk past each other. And Powell, whose district includes Park City, addressed the issue head on.
He hosted a community forum in Park City last November to discuss potential reforms to the intent to dine and separate dispensing area liquor laws, which are unpopular in the town. He named the forum "Through a Glass, Darkly" -- a Bible reference he reiterated in his closing remarks at a House Revenue and Taxation Committee hearing on March 4 at which his separate dispensing area reform bill was debated.
"Paul says in First Corinthians that as we live this life we see through a glass darkly," Powell said. "Because we don't actually see what other people see because we're not other people. And so as we here as non-drinkers make legislative policy for alcohol, I think we always need to do so with a large dose of reservation, wondering exactly if we really understand the implications of the policy we are passing."
Many of Powell's constituents do consume alcohol, so Powell pushed for changes to the laws that restaurateurs find the most onerous. The problem he ran into in his push for reforms -- even in an arguably narrowly-tailored fashion -- is that supporters of the liquor laws have no interest in amending them, period. And so the push for reform was destined for failure from the get-go.
Total reform or nothing
Rep. Jacob Anderegg (R -- Lehi) provided, at no less than two hearings this past legislative session, the harshest criticism of some of the liquor laws.
He called the separate dispensing wall requirement, or "Zion curtain," as it is often referred, "lunacy," "absolutely stupid," "ridiculous" and "the dumbest thing in the world."
"I hate it," he said at a hearing for HB 338.
But Anderegg opposed any liquor law reforms this session -- including Powell's reform specifically dealing with the Zion curtain.
"I can't stand the grey area. I want it to be black or white," he said at a hearing for that bill.
Anderegg explained to The Park Record his opposition to reforming a law that he described in such harsh terms at committee hearings.
"I don't like putting Band-Aids on a bigger issue," he said. "As a legislator, and maybe this is my own political flaw, for every thousand that are hacking at the branches, there's only one hacking at the root. And I'd rather be that guy that's trying to address the root. And if everything has got to be put on hold until we get that done, I'm fine with that."
"We are either in the business of protecting minors or we're not," he said.
Powell's bill would have allowed restaurants to opt out of erecting and maintaining the separate dispensing wall if they instead place a sign on entrances and menus reading "Notice: This establishment dispenses and serves alcoholic products in public view."
One might think that such signs might actually win support for the reform. That did not appear to be the case. When asked specifically about the merits of the notice requirement, what is the grey area or haziness in it, he responded, "Well once again, as a state are we going to allow minors into a bar setting or are we not?"
Is Anderegg planning on introducing the "black and white" reform he says is needed?
"I am working on one that will not be ready [for this past legislative session]. I've got six or seven shareholders -- and when I say shareholders I'm talking people who care about the issue that I still need to meet with -- and it's going to tighten it up on some it's going to loosen it on others, and some people are going to be [upset] about it.
"However you draw that line through the sand, someone right next to that line is going to be angry."
In general, Anderegg has no problem voting "No." Responding to criticism on Twitter after he casted the sole No vote in the House when it passed the Unlawful Activities Amendments Bill on March 6, Anderegg Tweeted: "My default vote this session has been 'No.' Whenever I have not had proper time to study a bill I default to a 'No' vote."
"That's because we live in a democracy"
Powell has an altogether different view of governing and is critical of Anderegg's approach.
"The problem is, this area of regulation that we have created is so minute and so detailed, that any time you get into it is a very complicated analysis," he told The Park Record. "And any legislator who wants to draw bright lines or focus only on large, general categories is always going to be frustrated. Unless you get into the weeds of the nuts and bolts of each individual restriction and draw lines here and draw lines there, you're not going to make any progress."
"And I think that some of the committee members' comments express frustration that we can't have bright lines, my response to that would be that legislators always draw lines, and that is our job," Powell continued.
"One of the frustrations that I have is that many of the legislators that say 'well we keep doing this every year and we keep having to change things every year and people keep bringing arguments to us every year.' Well that's because we live in a democracy where we're supposed to be -- every year -- reacting to our constituents and listening to them and making changes based on what they say."
Froerer says he has supported various liquor law reforms in most of the eight legislative sessions for which he has been in the Utah House and has become familiar with the debates around them.
"I'd like it black and white myself, but I don't think you ever get there and still have the regulations in place that a number of people think you need to have to control it," he said. "I'm all for simplification, but to me that's really just an effort to say 'we don't want to make any changes.'"
"The standard answer against any alcohol bill," Froerer explained, "is that it is going to create an environment of alcohol use and increased access to alcohol, and then it goes from there into drunken driving and binge drinking and a number of other factors that really have nothing to do with, for example, my bill on sampling [in distilleries] -- the same arguments were used -- drunk driving, etc., that really had nothing to do with my bill. My bill basically just was to allow distilleries to be on an equal playing field with wineries and breweries and allow sampling.
"So yeah, the common theme is: any bill with alcohol will have the ability to increase alcohol use in the state."
"An open bar in your face"
Jayne Brown, Executive Director of the Strengthening Families Foundation, testified at the hearing for Powell's bill.
"I have attended these hearings for 13 years and I have never seen a bill that is worse than this one," she said.
"The facts are," she told The Park Record, "because it's in your face, it does affect kids, it does affect alcoholics."
What about the notice requirement, if restaurants opt out of the separate dispensing area wall requirement?
"First of all," Brown said, "the wording of that bill, the wording of the sign, it says 'this is to inform you that there will be alcoholic drinks mixed in the open.' It doesn't say 'we have an open bar in your face, do you want to bring your kids into an open bar? Then you can enter.' It doesn't say that.
"The wording of the warning is so weak as to not cause anyone to blink, because how you present that can either lull people into security, thinking 'well that can't be harmful, it won't matter if my kids come in there.'"
Could the language of such a sign be changed into something that would be good for Utahns?
"The first thing I would do is to oppose legislation that creates any more open bars in restaurants," Brown said. "It's poor public policy. There's no need for it number one and it puts people at risk. Why would we want to do that?"
"We've got to preserve the youth because they're the hope for tomorrow, they're tomorrow's leaders," she said. "They're the ones who have to get jobs and be responsible, continue the infrastructure, care for the new society. We need to preserve that. So why are we making legislation that would put them at risk?
"Why are we shoving an open bar into the faces of people who don't go there to drink?"
"I'm really measured about this and it's really a research thing, because you need to not just go by people's opinions of what might be nice, you really need to go by what the research shows," she said.
The Church
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the often-left-unsaid factor in the liquor law debate. The Church's position is that "God has spoken against the use of" alcohol, among other substances.
According to a Gallup poll released last month, 60 percent of Utah's residents are Mormons. Idaho is second with 24 percent, Wyoming next with 9 percent and no other state cracking 5 percent.
On Jan. 21, less than one week before the legislative session began, the Church released an article and video interview with Elder D. Todd Christofferson in which it reiterated its support for the existing liquor laws, adding that the laws have nothing to do with its doctrine.
"Utah's alcohol laws and regulations are based on well-reasoned and sound public policy considerations adopted by Utah's legislature, not on the Church's religious doctrine regarding the use of alcohol," the article reads.
"The Church is opposed to any legislation that will weaken Utah's alcohol laws and regulations," the article reads, including any proposals "that would promote increased sales or consumption of alcoholic products in Utah."
Did the Church's pre-legislative-session missive hurt reform efforts?
"Oh yeah," said Froerer. "All you have to do is take a look at legislation that was passed last year out of committee and very similar legislation got voted down in committee this year. So the only difference is comments made by the church."
Do any legislators admit the Church's influence?
"Well they don't come out and at least publically say that," Froerer said. "Privately yes, publically no."
Powell is a little more diplomatic about the issue.
"Let me say that I believe the LDS church was very effective in its presentation of its position through media and communication, and so the legislators who heard that and viewed that presentation were given additional reasons to support Utah's current policies," he said. "And so I think that the LDS church has been effective in persuading some minds in the Legislature with their arguments, yes."

Gilded pewter
Origin: South west Germany, Biberach
Date: c. 1650, the gilding 19th century
18.5 cm diameter
Marks/Maker: Biberach a.Riss (town mark), maker's mark, probably of Christoph Zoller
Bequeathed by C.D.E. Fortnum, 1899; WA1899.CDEF.B1122
T. Schroder (2009), no. 588
This is an example of an Edelzinn, literally 'noble or precious pewter' which was produced exclusively for display in France and Germany during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. An important difference between silver and pewter is that the relief ornament is always cast, not embossed. Therefore, it depends on the production of moulds, meaning that a design could be produced in multiples. The plate is decorated in relief with scenes from Genesis and the inscription translates: 'Noah went out of the arc and made a burnt offering to God'.

How to Calculate Stockholders Equity Capital
Original post by Tiffany Garden of Demand Media
Stockholder's equity refers to both the initial capital investment made in a company and the retained earnings made by the same company. This figure is reported on a company's balance sheet or statement of financial position. Stockholder equity can be a negative or positive number, depending on whether the total liabilities for the business exceed the assets. To calculate stockholder equity, you first need some key information, including the all of the company's assets and liabilities.
Step 1
Create a list of the business assets. You need to include all of the company's assets, from cash on hand to real estate that the business owns. Add these numbers together to get the total asset value figure.
Step 2
Add the business liabilities together. Examples of common business liabilities include business loans, supply expenses and payables. This figure is the total business liability.
Step 3
Subtract the total business liability from the business assets. The figure created by this equation is the stockholder's equity. This figure is split between each stockholder and is sometimes known as the book value of the company.

ARDMORE, Pa. — Thanks to the 100% "bonus" depreciation write-offs created by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010, many laundry and dry cleaning businesses are discovering that capital investments in equipment, machinery and other business assets are more affordable today than ever before. Remember, however, the 100% bonus depreciation write-off is available only for qualifying purchases made by laundry services and businesses in 2011.
Those that have hesitated or postponed making capital investments because of the recent economic downturn might now want to consider how the combined use of incentives and the 100% bonus depreciation can substantially reduce the cost of capital investments. Even funding those new-equipment purchases is easier—at least for a while.
Opting Out
Although the 2010 Tax Relief Act included the best terms ever for bonus first-year depreciation, namely a 100% write-off of the cost of qualifying property, not all laundry and dry cleaning businesses will find it desirable to use front-load depreciation deductions. While it is possible to elect out of bonus depreciation entirely, it is, at least for now, less certain that a laundry or dry cleaning business can step down from 100% to 50% bonus depreciation.
The prime example of a situation crying out for a laundry business to opt out of 100% bonus depreciation is one where there are about-to-expire net operating losses, the value of which would be lost if current-year income were reduced too much by claiming the maximum depreciation allowance. Similarly, a laundry or dry cleaning business that currently is, and in the recent past, has been in a low tax bracket and expects to be in a higher bracket in future years may want to defer depreciation deductions to offset future higher-taxed income.
An election to take a reduced bonus-depreciation deduction was specifically authorized under prior law, when a taxpayer could elect 30%—instead of 50%—bonus first-year depreciation. Until recently, however, it appeared that the only choice for a laundry or dry cleaning business that does not want 100% bonus depreciation was to elect out of bonus depreciation entirely. Now, the IRS has decided to follow Congress' "General Explanation" for the 2010 Tax Relief Act and permit a step-down election from 100% to 50% bonus depreciation.
Discretionary Incentives
When it comes to a financial helping hand, the best opportunity for laundry and dry cleaning businesses investing in capital improvements may come in the form of discretionary incentives available at the federal, state and local level. Although many of these incentives require some level of job-creation or, at least, job-retention criteria be met in addition to capital investment, there are some notable exceptions.
The Federal New Markets Tax Credit, for example, provides a significant financial incentive for qualified investments made in certain eligible census tracts. Also, Delaware and Virginia offer cash grants based on future capital investment made by existing businesses without requiring a commitment to job creation.
It is the incentives offered by many local jurisdictions that often provide the most significant level of benefit for capital investment activities. Many municipalities have the ability to offer property tax abatement or tax increment financing as tools to encourage capital investment. The property tax-related incentives are typically long-term in duration and provide significant savings for making qualified capital investment.
Funding Based on Need
Last fall's Small Business Jobs Act created the State Small Business Credit Initiative and funded it with $1.5 billion to strengthen state programs that support lending to small businesses such as laundries and dry cleaning operations (and small manufacturers). Designed to spur up to $15 billion in lending, January saw the first wave of awards to the states.
Under the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), participating states will use the federal funds for programs to leverage private lending to help finance small businesses such as dry cleaning plants and laundries that are creditworthy, but that are not getting the loans they need to expand and create jobs.
Last year's Jobs Act included other provisions designed to help small businesses obtain funding. Among that bill's many provisions were several new—but temporary—funding programs, such as the U.S. Small Business Administration's amped-up extension of its lending guarantee programs and fee reductions. In addition, increases in the maximum loan size for the SBA's 7(a), 504, and microloan programs will help. The 7(a) and 504 loan program maximums would bump from $2 million to $5 million and the microloans would increase from $35,000 to $50,000. Loans made under the SBA Express program would temporarily increase from $300,000 to $1 million. Also included is a temporary allowance for small-business owners to use 504 loans to finance certain mortgages to avoid foreclosure.
The SBA's CDC/504 Loan Program provides long-term, fixed-rate financing to acquire fixed assets (such as real estate and equipment) for expansion or modernization. It is ideal for small businesses requiring "brick and mortar" financing. Rather than commercial lending institutions, 504 loans are delivered via CDCs (Certified Development Companies)—private, nonprofit corporations set up to contribute to the economic development of their communities.
Gone but Hopefully Not Forgotten
The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 provided many opportunities designed to help businesses reap tax benefits for capital investments and provide funding for doing so. The 2011 tax year may be the optimal time to take advantage of the federal, state and local tax or financing incentives that encourage capital investments.
Under the right capital-investment scenario, a savvy business may be able to claim 100% federal bonus depreciation, New Markets Tax Credit, state investment tax credits and municipal property tax abatement on the same capital investment. Or, the laundry business may benefit from the soon-to-expire funding opportunities available today.

STANFORD, Calif. - It's hard to fathom the frenzy at West Point over Stanford's senior reserve strong safety John Flacco, who quickly became a crowd favorite last week at Michie Stadium and returned home to discover 1,000 Facebook friend requests from West Point cadets.
Teammate Trent Murphy, who had a closeup view of Flacco doing the Army 'Rocket' cheer during the fourth quarter of the Stanford's 34-20 victory, offered his perspective of upstate New York's newest celebrity.
"I think it started as heckling for Flacco," Murphy said. "But he kind of showed them love in return for their heckling, with a fist pump or something. They were entertained by it and it spread like wildfire.
"I didn't really let myself notice it until the last 4-5 minutes of the fourth quarter. He did their Rocket chant. It was kind of hard not to notice at that point."
Murphy also set the record straight.
"He didn't know the Rocket chant," Murphy said. "There's a picture of him holding both his fists up and, if you see, I was cracking up on the side of the picture because everyone was going at it and Flacco's hands are completely … he could have been doing the YMCA! It wasn't right at all, but it was pretty funny."
Like many, Murphy seemed slightly befuddled by it all.
"They're going crazy over him," Murphy said. "He'll probably be the honorary captain for the Army-Navy game."
* * *
Stanford and Wisconsin are similar in styles. Both favor a power running game and use fullbacks and tight ends, as opposed to the spread offenses that rarely use either.
With that in mind, does Arizona State's defense have an advantage for Saturday's Pac-12 opener at Stanford Stadium (4 p.m. PT) because it has played teams with similar styles in consecutive weeks? The Sun Devils beat Wisconsin, 32-20, on Saturday night in a game most notable for its controversial finish.
"It helps both teams," said David Shaw, Stanford's Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football.
Shaw pointed out that, yes, Arizona State may have an edge in familiarity, but Stanford also can get a clue by seeing how the Sun Devils react in situations that Stanford may also present. It's quite an opportunity, because film rarely shows how an opposing defense will react to formations with tight ends and fullbacks.
* * *
Defensive end Kevin Anderson will be out for a few weeks after injuring a knee against Army. Shaw was not specific about Anderson's injury, but said he expected the fifth-year senior to return this season.
Anderson's loss frees up more time for Josh Mauro, who already was in the defensive line rotation but now will step in as a starter. Mauro, another fifth-year senior, had six tackles against Army and was Stanford's defensive player of the game.
"He's 285 pounds. He's quick. He's strong. He's nasty," Shaw said. "There were multiple times during the game when he beat the center, hit the fullback, and tackled the quarterback. That's really hard to do.
All of the coaches believe he can be playing in the NFL," Shaw said. "The fact that he 'wasn't a starter' is crap, because he has played a lot. The fact that he's on the field for the first play doesn't mean anything to us and it doesn't mean anything to the NFL guys either."
* * *
Sophomore defensive end Aziz Shittu should roll into the line rotation, which should remain strong.
"Thank goodness we have some depth," Shaw said.
Shittu, a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, played sparingly last season, but seems prepared to make a bigger impact.
"We're starting to see the quickness that he showed when he was in high school," Shaw said. "It's just getting used to playing college football. We still think he's got a bright future ahead of him, but it's just the difference of being able to play and being able make an impact. Hopefully, soon that's coming."
* * *
Murphy, a fifth-year outside linebacker and a native of Mesa, Ariz., chose Stanford over Arizona State despite close connections between his family and his local school. His sister, Kayli, played basketball for the Sun Devils and Murphy had to mount the courage to reject an offer in hand by then-Arizona State head coach Dennis Erickson in person.
The Murphys were won over by then-Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh, even though the visit took an unusual twist.
It so happens that on the night Harbaugh and assistant D.J. Durkin were to arrive, Trent's parents, Jerry and Laurie, were in the hospital. Laurie, pregnant with their fifth daughter, Maddie, was having abdominal pains. From the hospital, they convinced Laurie's sister, Amy, to get to the house and entertain the coaches and buy some time before the Murphys could get home.
Amy, originally from Chicago, had no idea who Harbaugh was, and asked the former Chicago Bears quarterback, "Have you ever been to Chicago?"
Harbaugh never let on, and charmed Amy and the entire Murphy family.
* * *
Shaw paid the ultimate compliment to Arizona State's Will Sutton last year by showing film of the all-conference defensive tackle to the Stanford linemen as an example of how to play the position.
"This is what a guy who changes games looks like," Shaw told them. "He's relentless, great with his hands, gets blocked initially and gets unblocked, pursues from the back side, and is great against the pass and the run."
Shaw said he had no problem using an opponent as an example.
"That's been the standard for the defensive line for our conference," Shaw said Tuesday. "We're trying to get our guys to understand that and try to play to that level."
* * *
The emergence of sophomore Andrus Peat as the starting left tackle is not surprising considering his status as the top-ranked prospect in the 2012 recruiting class by The Sporting News. Peat worked into the lineup as a situational player last season, but has become a regular this year.
"He understands the game," Shaw said. "The communication between him and (left guard) David Yankey is phenomenal. They see things at the same time. They talk to each other.
"Watching film, last year he'd look at Yankey and ask 'What are we trying to do here?' Now, they get that nod like they both see it and they know what they're doing. That's a great comfort."
Peat, even at 6-7, 312, is so agile that coaches can ask him to pull around the right tackle because they know he'll still get there before the running back.
"It's a rarity," Shaw said. "And he's still not close to his ceiling. He's still got a lot to learn, he's still pushing himself. I'm very pleased with where he is right now."
* * *
On the play of the offensive line: "They've been awesome," Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan said. "The way they've been passing off stunts has been great. They've been keeping me clean and that allows me to be comfortable back there and keep my eyes downfield."
Shaw rated Hogan's performance against Army thusly: "He's riding at a B," Shaw said.
Hogan threw three touchdown passes and completed 11 of 18 passes for 188 yards. However, he also had an interception and fumble.
"The turnovers, those things can't happen," Shaw said. "I can't say he made up for those, but he made some unbelievable plays, both as a scrambler and as a passer. He got us into some great plays, and out of some bad plays, which saved us. That's what's kept him up to a B.
"He wants to be an 'A' student, he's really hard on himself. So, opportunity No. 3 is coming up."
* * *
Murphy, who at 6-6 was described as a "rangy intellectual" by a local newspaper when he starred at Brophy College Prep in Phoenix, arrived at Stanford weighing 217 pounds. He's up to 261, but it hasn't been easy.
"I still have to eat a ton to maintain my weight," Murphy said. "Training camp was hard to keep my weight on. If I were trying to get to 280, it would be a little bit of a struggle still. I don't know when that's going to slow down for me."
Performance coach Shannon Turley weighs each player twice a week. He has a diet plan that they follow, and they record everything they consume in a journal that is reviewed on a regular basis.
* * *
Mauro described the differences between the two running attacks, of Army and Arizona State:
"One of the biggest differences that might be get overlooked is Army checked their plays a lot and used their play clock," Mauro said. "Although they ran a lot, we had a lot more time on defense to get our wind.
"ASU, I think they run a play every 11 or 15 seconds. Last game, they ran 103 plays. You note that and get ready for that. It's a more up-tempo game. It's not the triple-option attack. They've a good football team at running and throwing the ball. It will be a challenge."
* * *
Saturday marks the beginning of Pac-12 play, beginning a stretch of nine conference games in as many weeks without a bye, and where every opponent has the power to knock the Cardinal from its postseason goals.
"It's a gantlet," Shaw said. "That's the way we look at it. You've got to be able to rise to the occasion, every seven days from now to the end of the season. It's about realizing that every game is important, no one is bigger than another one.
"You can't slight any opponent. You can't look past any opponent. You live a seven-day existence. Once that game is over, you get rid of that last week and you live in the next week.
"You have to be strong mentally to come back from a great win, by knowing the season is not over. If you get too excited about the last one, you lose the next one. If you did lose a game, you're going to have to come back and be resilient, because you're not going to get cut any slack by your next opponent. It's a gantlet that you're trying to survive."

College Hockey:Stewart, Warriors Stymie Providence
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Freshman Blake Stewart threw a coming-out party this weekend at the expense of Providence.
The Merrimack forward, who scored the first of his career in Friday's tie at Schneider Arena, netted a pure goal-scorer's backbreaker Saturday night in the waning seconds of the second period to lead the suddenly surging Warriors to an impressive 4-1 victory.
Again skating with 10 freshmen in the lineup, Merrimack (3-5-2, 2-3-1 Hockey East) earned three out of four points against a Hockey East opponent in a home-and-home series for the first time since February 2000.
No. 14 Providence (8-4-1, 3-4-1), meanwhile, is now winless in its last four games after starting the season with seven straight victories.
"We said this weekend we wanted three out of four points, and we came out with three out of four," said Stewart, who missed the first four games of the season with a broken finger. "That's what we needed, and that's what we got."
With the shoot-from-any-angle Friars threatening Merrimack's 2-1 advantage, Stewart broke up ice on a 2-on-1 with Luke Smith thanks to a pretty touch pass along the boards from defenseman Eric Pedersen. Racing past Friars defenseman Jason Platt, Stewart closed in on goalie Nolan Schaefer from the left boards before faking a centering pass to Smith.
The deke forced Schaefer to open his pads just enough for the Roselle, Ill., native to tap a backhander in with 36 seconds left in the period, giving Merrimack back its original two-goal lead and electrifying the 1,736 inside the Volpe Center.
"I was trying to make the pass to Luke, but I just got too close to the net," admitted Stewart, who later unselfishly assisted on sophomore Brendon Clarke's first career goal in the third period on a 2-on-0 breakaway. "It probably would have gotten intercepted, so I just put it on my backhand and slid it through his five-hole.
"Goals in the first minutes and last minutes of periods are a big deal, so that was big for us."
Stewart's late goal gave the Warriors the same comfort zone that junior Tim Reidy's power-play goal did just 21 seconds into the game after Providence freshman Torry Gajda was whistled for hooking almost immediately after the opening face off.
"The goal in the last minute of the second period was something that really, really hurt us," said Friars coach Paul Pooley, who was forced to sit out junior Peter Zingoni with an injured wrist suffered on Friday. "It didn't stop our motivation, but to give up a goal with 36 seconds left in the period is inexcusable."
Merrimack senior goalie Joe Exter was again heavily relied upon, stopping 39 shots to give him 88 for the weekend. Last night, the Warrior captain was victimized by only a Devin Rask power-play goal at 8:44 of the second period, as the Merrimack penalty-kill broke down leaving two Friars out front by their lonesome.
"We certainly couldn't have asked for any more shots this weekend," Pooley said. "But to Joe's credit, he played really well."
After Reidy's team-leading fifth goal of the season, marking the third straight game he's scored on the power play, Merrimack increased the lead to 2-0 at 16:40 of the period. Freshman Brent Gough banged home a blind backhand pass from junior Marco Rosa in the slot that Schaefer (14 saves) didn't stand a chance at saving.
With the Warriors carrying a 3-1 lead into the final period, Clark put the game out of reach on a soft tap-in of Stewart's pass into the empty side of the net at the 5:18 mark as Schaefer was left to fend for himself.
"I was grateful he gave it up to me," Clarke said, referring to Stewart's unselfish pass. "He just slid it in the right spot and I was able to snap it in."
Though pleased with the three-point weekend, especially following a 13-day layoff, Merrimack coach Chris Serino admits his young club is still a work in progress.
"After we made them look good with some stupid plays in the second period, we played much better in the third," said Serino, as the Warriors prepare for their first-ever trip to Omaha, Neb., next week. "Especially after that fourth goal, we played with a lot more confidence that we had the game under control."
The Friars will look to regroup against a pair of ECAC clubs next weekend, paying visits on both Clarkson and St. Lawrence.
"We're not scoring. Earlier (in the season) we're were scoring a lot more," Pooley said, explaining the reason for his team's 0-3-1 skid. "That puts pressure on you to press, and the result of that is you make mistakes.
"But you've got to play good defense when you're not scoring, which we're not right now. That's a bad combination."

Steph Says
I am really interested in getting my mom a wine club membership for Christmas but it is out of my price range this year. Instead I decided to create my own wine club for her where I buy a wine and pair it with a recipe.
There are sites that pair wines with foods but it seems as though it's not a real specific pairing, meaning the same recipe is under multiple wine varieties. My mom is a red wine drinker exclusively...snob (just messing) and I saw your article for recipes that pair with Sangiovese but I was wondering if you had other articles to pair other red wines?
I have this started but I'm not impressed or excied with what I have found so far. I don't want to do JUST the typical red wines and typical recipes, I'd like to shake things up and have the try new red wines and new recipes.
Do you have anything you can share with me or other websites you suggest? I'd be happy to share my "year of pairing" with anyone in return for some help in finding some cool recipes and wine! :)
Any help is appreciated!

Darby replies
Steph, I will throw this one open for any other Vinodiversity readers to comment, but I will make a few comments.
I am just starting a new website at http://www.italy-wine-food-pairing.com/, which will be along the lines that you have mentioned - more specific receommendations, for regions of Italy wines and foods, not just a generic Chianti and Pizza approach.
A wonderful pairing I discovered recently was my Darby's famous Tapenade recipe (http://www.vinodiversity.com/tapenade.html) and a light bodied Lagrein wine from Di Lusso in Mudgee, NSW.
Please contact me via the form at contact.html and we can perhaps look at ways to develop your "year of pairing" into a collaborative project.
Join in and write your own page! It's easy to do. How? Simply click here to return to Ask Vinodiversity.

Stefan Molyneux and his therapist wife Christina Papadopoulos run freedomainradio (a.k.a FDR). Ms. Papadopoulos has been found guilty of professional misconduct related to FDR.

Molyneux as a Narcissist.
Moly pointed out that Christina's reluctance was a problem for his new full time endeavor. Why? According to Moly, there would only be two reasons for her none participation. Either "you do not believe in my efforts, which would undermine my credibility." OR "You lack the courage to put herself out there If that were the case, since self esteem marries equal self esteem, that would mean, (remember I am paraphrasing) I married a low self esteem person and my credibility would be shot." I guess that since he already knew Christina's reasons, there was no reason for her to give her own. She really should not have to give him any reasons. IT is her free choice. Still Moly is browbeating her and ultimately reduces the discussuion to how it makes him look. Reminds me of the joke about the narcissist in a conversation with a long lost acquaintance. He says, "I have been talking about myself for an hour. How about you? What do you think of me?"
Anyone in a mature relationship can see the meta story behind this sort of husband/wife vignette.

And you said she publicly "lashed out" against her parents. Could someone please show me where this happened?
Her 'withdrawal' from participation and Moly's desire that she NOT withdraw is the primary subject of the podcast. Pretty sure the specific podcast is FDR724.ReplyDelete
I am not familiar with how much Christina had or does particpate. I only listened to Moly when I was involved with FDR. I do know that she is the professed brains behind the 'family is the root of all evil' mantra at FDR. As to

I have listened to several hours of Molyneux's obsessive 'brain-drain' rants and picked up on his own issues projected through these, I thought it was me at first and then I realised his past-the difficult mother the absent father and agressive spouse. I think he has become a self fulfilling profesy of obsessive self-hatred.ReplyDelete
His argument about the above would be that I am not willing to accept the truth - the truth is that which suits him and not fact.

If you go to the FDR forum and ask where they missing podcasts are, you will likely be banned. the timing of eliminating all Christina podcasts seemed to coincide with the complaint by the Ontario Board of Psychologists against Christina. The podcasts are in a safe place. I have the original mp3 file of podcast 724, but I don't know how to post it. Sorry.ReplyDelete
I met a Moly-follower in real-life after knowing him only online & one of the first things he asked me was "So, now that you've seen me in person, what do you think of the hair?" (Meaning his own hair.) I am not even kidding, this really actually happened.ReplyDelete

Molyneux is an obvious narcissist;ReplyDelete
- In his early podcasts he sometimes referenced his aristocratic family background, birth in Ireland and "family estate in Ireland". This is inconsistent with promoting his childhood poverty and indicates his motivation & ambition to be successful, even if this means being apart of the Govt system he criticises. Why doesn't he talk up his peasant family connections that rebelled & rioted against an unjust Govt (if there were any)?
- In his podcasts, typical of all narcissists, he has often referred to himself in self-aggrandising manner; eg. as an alpha male, the MOST successful philosophy show EVER, the MOST downloads, ......
- Also typical of all narcissists, to his own admission he seeks celebrity status, he is boastful, he loves excessive attention, praise & compliments, he is very charming and good at giving the fake sympathy comments to his abused listeners.
- He rarely discusses narcissism and psyhopathy in any depth; This is extremely strange as these two things are at the very core of all hierarchies and Govt systems that he criticises so much. Then consider that narcissists may know that they are narcissists, but are extremely bad at discussing their condition. My guess is that he avoids this area on purpose because he is a narcissist.
- His talk shows and arguments are extremely repetitive; especially on the political arguments. He shows little ability to "go off script". Again, typical of a narcissist.
- He did a presentation to a big crowd in Amsterdam in spring 2014, at a technology conference. It was the most dumbed down presentation about money and bitcoin I have ever seen. But he spent a lot of time talking about it in a self aggrandising manner - "look at me, I'm famous". Which is a joke, as anyone at seniority in every multinational are forced to do these kinds of presentations frequently every year.

Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Medical Genetics
Our division specializes in the research, diagnosis and treatment of both common and unusual diseases that exact a huge burden of suffering in our communities, including:
Our goals are to strive for excellence in patient care, teaching, and research. I believe that all our personnel take pride in the work they do and challenge themselves to perform to the best of their ability. While this web site features our faculty, our success depends on the work of multiple nurses, secretaries, dietitians, statisticians, laboratory workers, fellows, and students who may not be featured here, but who are integral to our service. The final common denominator and focus of our teamwork, however, is our patients. We endeavor to provide optimal patient care and to make new discoveries through research to improve their lives.
Our patients are seen in various settings, clinics, and centers in the Charleston area. Patients may be seen in private consultation, in the Diabetes Center, in the Thyroid Center, or in the Cholesterol Center. The Diabetes Center provides intensive management programs for diabetes patients (IDEAL Program), and also incorporates the Diabetes Initiative of South Carolina with a state-wide mandate for diabetes outreach, education, and surveillance.
With respect to teaching, we participate in the training of doctors sub-specializing in the treatment of Endocrine Diseases (fellows), residents and interns in Internal Medicine, medical students, and individuals in various nursing, dietetic, and pharmacy training programs. In addition, our scientists are actively involved in research training involving multiple post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, M.D./PH.D. students, medical students, and undergraduate students.
Our research strengths are in three areas:
The emphasis on Diabetes is driven by the facts that Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults, kidney failure resulting in dialysis, and amputations, a major contributor to stroke and heart disease, and accounts for more health care costs than any other single disease in the United States (one in every seven health care dollars). Because these numbers reflect the suffering of our patients, these problems merit our focus in research. The problem of diabetes is even more acute in our minority communities, and many of our community-based efforts involve our African-American patients.

Using the Website
Welcome to Just! This website provides supplemental lesson plans based on the texts and ideas in this guide. It also provides sample syllabi for courses as well as suggested lessons and texts for other service activities. It will enable educators in the field to submit additional lesson plans, appropriate texts, and discussion questions so that this guide can expand and grow as the field of Jewish service-learning continues to grow.
The website is broken up into two separate, yet interrelated sections. The first, Torah Study, delves into some of the Jewish ethical, theological, and philosophical foundations for engagement in society. Divided up into five chapters, structured around value conflicts in social justice, this first section will allow you to explore the Jewish call to take action in our everyday society.
To begin your exploration of these, select a chapter from the Torah Study tab at the top of the page. Start with the first one, or choose a chapter that seems the most interesting to you. Each chapter is independent, so it does not matter where you begin.
On the page for each chapter you will find an introduction, giving you an overview of what you will be studying in depth. If you scroll down, you will find links to several different text studies. Follow links that appeal to you, and you will find a text from either the Torah or the Talmud. These texts, and their associated study questions are designed to help you fully understand one aspect of a Jewish value conflict in the work of social justice. Upon completing a chapter, simply return to the top of the page, scroll over Torah Study and select a new chapter.
The second section of Just called, Ma'aseh/Action is a practical guide for implementing social justice initiatives. This site will guide you through the P.A.R.E. model: Preparation, Action, Reflection, and Evaluation. To begin exploring the P.A.R.E. model go to the top of your page, select Action Guide then choose which part of the P.A.R.E. model you wish to explore.
Reading the Introduction to Jewish Service-Learning will give you an overview of this section's guide on planning and executing a successful campaign or initiative to benefit your community. Following links to different aspects of the P.A.R.E model will show you ways to implement values, which you learned in the Torah Study section, through a series of social justice projects. You will also find the profiles of people who have already begun to implement these Jewish values through initiatives in their communities.
The Action section in the P.A.R.E model is by far the biggest, including five different paths toward social change. Explore each of these different paths to find the one that you could best model towards implementing change in your community. Follow the diagram below to select the path of Action which most appeals to you.
The beauty of Just is that both of its sections may be used together or independent of each other, it is all up to you, the reader. While these two sections can be studied independently, an exploration of the Jewish ethical foundations of social responsibility and the experience of becoming an agent of change in society should inform each other. The theoretical and the practical, study and action, must go hand in hand. We hope that this website allows you to achieve this goal, and we wish you the best of luck on your exploration.

Baltimore County News
Land Preservation Commitment is State and National Model
County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced today that the County's land preservation program has been recognized for its achievements and recertified for three years, allowing the County to retain the lion's share of local agricultural land transfer fees to invest in land preservation.
The State Rural Legacy Program has also awarded funding to two Baltimore County land trusts and Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation made easement offers to seven Baltimore County farms.
"Preserving rural land in Baltimore County continues to provide many benefits to the citizens of the County. From maintaining a source of local food, to preserving forests that enhance the water quality of our drinking water reservoirs, to reducing the cost of sprawl, Baltimore County remains a national leader in land preservation," said Kamenetz.
Under Kamenetz, County Has Invested $9.7 Million, Preserved Nearly 5,000 Acres
The State recognized the success of the County's land preservation strategy that combines restrictive zoning with a growth boundary and acquisition of easements. Since entering office, County Executive Kamenetz has maintained his commitment to land preservation with a total of 4,867 acres preserved in the past five years moving the County closer to its goal of 80,000 acres. For the past five years the County has preserved almost six acres for each acre converted to development.
In approving the County's request for recertification, the Maryland Department of Planning recognized that even though it is the third most populous jurisdiction in Maryland, Baltimore County has set aside more than 135,000 acres – one third of the County – for agriculture, forestry and open space. Baltimore County has placed 62,828 acres under easement and is ranked first among counties for Maryland Environmental Trust donated easements, third for Rural Legacy and fourth for agricultural easements.
Only 2 Percent of Permit Requests in Protected Agricultural Areas Approved
Over the reporting period, Fiscal Year 2012 to 2014, the County approved only 2 percent of all new permits within the 135,000 acres designated as Agricultural Preservation Area. It retained its protective agricultural zoning and committed $9.7 million of county funds for land preservation during this period.
Carol West, Executive Director of Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation praised the County's work saying, "The MALPF Board of Trustees and the Maryland Department of Planning were pleased to recertify Baltimore County for another three years. Recertification allows the County to retain more of their agricultural transfer taxes to be used for preservation in any of the many active programs within the County. They continue to demonstrate their commitment to the preservation of farmland and support of farmers in the County. They have committed more funds for the current acquisition than any other county."
"I am very pleased that the County is partnering with the State to preserve farmland and open space — one of the best ways to protect our water quality," said County Council Chair Cathy Bevins.
$3.8 Million in State Funding For Preservation of 1,000 Acres
Subject to Board of Public Works approval, the State Rural Legacy Program has awarded $1.1 million to two Baltimore County Land Trusts. These awards were out of a total of $10 million statewide, for which there were 26 applications. These land trusts will seek to preserve land as soon as the funding receives final approval. The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation Board of Trustees approved an allocation of $2.63 million in state funds, and, with $1.3 million in County matching funds, they made offers to seven farms, subject to Board of Public Works and County Council approvals. Preservation from these two programs is expected to protect 1,000 acres of rural land in the County.
"We greatly appreciate the continued support by the State, County Executive and County Council for farmers seeking to permanently preserve their farmland," said Gail Ensor, Chairperson of the Baltimore County Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board. "Farming, and the many agriculture related industries, are an important part of the County's economy as well as a key component of the rural landscape."
Land Preservation Has Moved to Promote Better Coordination
The County's Land Preservation function has recently been relocated to the Department of Planning. This has created the opportunity to better integrate land preservation with land use planning. It has also provided the opportunity to make its programs more consistent with the County's Historic Preservation program, which is also housed in Planning. "We are pleased to have the land preservation program in Planning where we can integrate many of its functions into rural planning. We are especially pleased to work with the dedicated Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Board," said Planning Director Andrea Van Arsdale.
Find Out How to Preserve Your Rural Land
Information is available on applying to donate or sell an easement.
Andrea Van Arsdale, Director
Baltimore County Department of Planning
Have you ever ventured out past the Beltway and begun to notice office buildings, retail centers, and residential communities giving way to agricultural fields, pastures, and wooded stream valleys? These areas are not just beautiful scenery and they didn't stay green by accident. The open fields and forested areas protect the tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay, shield the waterways from suburban runoff, and provide habitat for wildlife pressured by development.
You may wonder, how have these areas have managed to remain rural? Since 1967, Baltimore County has been protecting its agricultural and environmental resources through responsible and sustainable land use policies and regulations. As a result, we have a legacy of sustainable growth and remain a national leader in this movement.
Last year, the Maryland legislature passed Senate Bill 236, introducing similar land use strategies statewide. SB236 calls for all jurisdictions to classify their land according to four distinct growth tiers that define levels of residential development. Under the direction of County Executive Kamenetz, the Planning Department solicited input from a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Building upon that information and following the implementation guidelines from the State, the Planning Department established and mapped our four growth tiers. Within the County's rural areas, the growth tiers set the number of houses served by individual septic systems. This serves to further prevent suburban sprawl and to encourage investment in the County's established neighborhoods and older Beltway communities – the essence of smart growth.
Baltimore County's Growth Tiers received highly favorable recognition from the Maryland Department of Planning and 1000 Friends of Maryland. We were proud to be one of the first in the state to submit our growth tiers map, especially since it was approved with no changes by the state. The County's strong land use policies and regulations will help ensure the preservation of our agricultural heritage and the future health of the Chesapeake Bay.

I was showing a friend the neat effect of Win-Tab on Windows 7, but when he tried it, it didn't work! All it does is bring up the Start menu! What could be causing this?
Check that Desktop Composition (i.e. Aero) is enabled:
Does he have Aero enabled?
Windows Flag+Tab does not work when Aero is disabled.
I think due to this, it does not work on Vista Home Basic or Windows 7 starter either.
Is your friend holding down Win when hitting Tab?
Even on my XP work machine, holding Win and pressing any other key doesn't pop up the Start menu; the start menu only pops up if you press Win and then release it without pressing anything else.
Mouse over something in the taskbar. If no image appears above it, either Aero is disabled or — as stated earlier — you have Vista Home Basic. You can confirm this by right-clicking on computer and selecting properties. Aero Glass isn't available in this version of Vista.

In terms of real life, the White House has only been penetrated by attackers once, during the War of 1812 when it was damaged during the burning of Washington. Although the first family had to leave hastily, it was about this time in September of 1812 when President Madison returned to the damaged edifice to demonstrate that the United States would not concede to such assaults. On the silver screen, attacks on the President in the White House make for good action plots. A fairly recent example is "Olympus Has Fallen," from 2013, a successful outing that has spawned a sequel about to be produced entitled, "London Has Fallen."
In "Olympus Has Fallen," Gerard Butler plays Mike Banning, who heads the U.S. President's (played by Aaron Eckhart) secret service detail. The president and his family like and trust Mike. But one evening over the Christmas holidays, there is a car accident during an ice storm, which results in the death of the first lady (played by Ashley Judd). Although Mike had prevented the accident from claiming even more victims, he feels guilty about not saving the first lady, and the President finds it difficult to work with him. Several months later, he is working at a desk job with the U.S. treasury department, not far from the executive mansion. The president has a meeting with the South Korean Prime Minister, whose aide has planned an attack on the White House. Observing the attack from nearby, Mike rushes to help. He survives a big shootout and finds himself in the White House and, given his insider knowledge of the house's strengths and weaknesses, he is the only person who can possibly save the day. As the terrorists hold the president and several other people hostage, the Speaker of the House (played by Morgan Freeman) assumes the job of president.
Like many action films of the 1990s, "Olympus Has Fallen" follows the "Die Hard" formula. The movie has many great action scenes. These scenes show that Mike is skilled in hand to hand combat, as well as with weapons.
Gerard Butler is excellent as the movie's hero. He makes Mike a likeable but determined guy. Equally strong is Melissa Leo, who plays the Secretary of Defense, who is held hostage with the president.
"Olympus Has Fallen" is a good choice for fans of old-school action films.
