I meet my work deadlines….what about you? Is it really too much to ask that those who have agreed to jobs and deadlines actually do their jobs and meet the deadlines?
For months President Obama has known about this September 6 deadline about sequestration (see below.) The deadline has been blown. Yes, it is true the President does not do this number crunching work himself but he is the boss, the one in charge, and if wants to be boss, he should see that the work is done. This is part of his job.
If deadlines don't mean anything, why do they set them?
I don't know about you, but I think he (and others who likewise are not doing their jobs) should cut down on their campaigning and fund raising a bit and instead do the work they agreed to do when we elected them. It may not be a big deal but ignoring one's responsibilities just is endless and becomes a big deal. It is culture of not doing what one has agreed to do. Important matters get pushed off until later….usually until after politicians can get past elections. They postpone so much and so often that they don't think there is anything wrong with it.
What do YOU think?

The Obama administration has missed a key deadline to submit a report on how it would implement $109 billion in across-the-board budget cuts scheduled to take effect Jan. 2.
The administration was supposed to send to Congress by Sept. 6 detailed information on every account that would be affected under sequestration, including how much money would be cut from every program, project and activity level.
But that day, the administration told Federal Times the report will come "late next week." The administration said it needed more time to address the complex issues involved in planning for sequestration.

MORGANTOWN-If, by some chance, West Virginia University's football team escapes the opening third of its Big 12 slate of games with a winning mark, the Mountaineers definitely will have their work cut out during the middle trio of games that could go a long way to determining where, or if, the old gold and blue will be playing during the bowl season.
BAYLOR: Saturday, Oct. 18: First up is a defending conference champion Baylor Bears team that will be without the services of Big 12 rushing leader Lache Seastrunk, but returns senior Bryce Petty back at quarterback.
"I tell our guys, 'I think we're the best offense in the country. And, if you can get to where you can defend our offense reasonably well, then you're going to do some great things,'" defensive coordinator Phil Bennett said following spring drills.
Petty made his first year as the Bears' starter a memorable one, completing 250-of-403 attempts for 4,200 yards and 32 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Numbers like those again in 2014 will not only make the loss of Seastrunk, who rushed for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns on 158 carries, easier to take, but will allow the Waco-based program to push preseason favorite Oklahoma for the league crown.
Baylor's first trip to Morgantown, however, would be one veteran head coach Art Briles would much rather forget. The two teams combined to score a Big 12 record 133 points.
The Bears' offense continued to click in WVU's first trip to Waco, scoring 72 points, while the Mountaineers would tally their second-most points of the season (42), but lose in a rout.
"What we've got to do is understand people view us different now that they did eight months ago," said Briles. "So, it's a phase we're going through and it's something we're working on. We want to be the team that if you're going to win the Big 12, it's got to go through Waco. We like having one title, but we would like to have a lot more."
Other top players returning for the Bears include wide receivers Antwan Goodley (71 catches, 1,339 yards, 13 TD) and Levi Norwood (47-733, 8 TD), right tackle Troy Baker, running back Shock Linwood (128-881, 8 TD), defensive end Shawn Oakman and linebacker Bryce Hager.
OKLAHOMA STATE: Saturday, Oct. 25: It's back on the road again for game number five in conference play as WVU heads to Stillwater, Okla., to face an Oklahoma State team that will be looking for some payback after last year's 30-21 setback in Morgantown.
The Cowboys' first loss in 2013 put a huge damper on OSU's chances of winning the conference crown and eventually kept the Cowboys out of the BCS-they lost to Missouri by a 41-31 score in the Cotton Bowl. Conversely, the victory over a highly-ranked opponent fueled hope in Morgantown that head coach Dana Holgorsen and his staff had effectively righted the ship and hopes were high that WVU would be dancing into the upcoming bowl season.
That did not happen, however, as WVU closed out the season with a 1-6 mark.
Veteran head coach Mike Gundy and his staff have their work cut out for them this past spring as the Cowboys lost quarterback Clint Chelf, wide receiver/kick returner Josh Stewart, running back Jeremy Smith, offensive lineman Parker Graham, wide outs Tracy Moore and Charlie Moore, linebackers Shaun Lewis and Caleb Lowery, cornerback Justin Gilbert and safety Daytwaion Lowe from a unit that posted a 10-3 mark.
Making that task more difficult was Gundy's decision to opt out of a spring game.
"We would all like to have a spring game, but I also have to look at what's best for our team and best for our fans," said Gundy. "For example, we only ended up with one linebacker at two positions. It would have been hard having an Orange team and a White team. We would have been limited to a couple of formations on offense and sub-packages wouldn't have happened on defense because there's not enough bodies. So, I think it's better the way we did it."
The cupboard is far from empty, however, as junior J.W. Walsh takes over for Chelf (164-of-291, 2,173, 17 TD) at quarterback while senior Desmond Roland will look to add to the numbers (176-811, 13 TD) he posted a year ago at running back.
Other top returnees include wide receiver Jhajuan Seales, offensive lineman Daniel Koenig, defensive tackle James Castleman, defensive end Jimmy Bean, linebacker Ryan Simmons, cornerback Kevin Peterson and placekicker Ben Grogan.
Seales finished with 39 receptions for 571 yards, tops among any freshman receivers in the Big 12, and will be the Cowboys' top pass-catching threat in 2014.
TCU: Saturday, Nov. 1: WVU and Texas Christian University (TCU) have met twice in Big 12 play and both games needed extra time to finish. The Mountaineers went on the road a year ago and eked out a 30-27 overtime victory.
The Horned Frogs needed two extra periods of play to accomplish the same feat at Milan Puskar Stadium (39-38) in 2013.
Both teams are coming off of 4-8 seasons and both head coaches are filling the hot seat as they attempt to get their programs on the same playing level as the other teams in the Big 12.
"For us, it's giving ourselves an opportunity," head coach Gary Patterson said. "We have to go score more points, and we have to keep stopping people. It's not going to change. This league comes at you. I'll be open to whatever helps us win."
TCU will have to accomplish that feat, however, without the services of quarterback Casey Pachall, who closed out his on-again, off-again relationship with the Horned Frogs last season. Also gone are cornerback Jason Verrett, wide receiver LaDarius Brown, safety Elisha Olabode and defensive end Jon Koontz.
Patterson does return six players on offense, led by junior quarterback Trevone Boykin-a name known by many Mountaineer fans for his late touchdown throw against WVU in 2012 which pushed the game into overtime. Boykin put up decent numbers in 2013, completing 105-of-176 attempts for 1,198 yards and seven touchdowns, but also tossed seven interceptions.
Also returning is leading rusher B.J. Catalon, who led the team with 569 yards and six touchdowns, running back Aaron Green, wide receiver Josh Docston (36-440, 4 TD), placekicker Jaden Oberkrom, defensive end Devonte Fields, safety Sam Carter, cornerback Kevin White and defensive tackle Chucky Hunter.
In an attempt to keep up with the vast number of teams in the Big 12 that run a spread attack, Patterson brought in Texas Tech's Sonny Cumbie and Houston's Dough Meacham as co-offensive coordinators to give the Horned Frogs' attack a kick start.
"We've got a long way to go before we can be where it's pure reaction," said Patterson. "We've got (teams) that have been running it for 15 years, and we've been running it for (15) practices. We're not running the ball as well as we need to and we need to be more efficient. Everything about this offense is about execution."
Prediction: Some may think it is crazy to think, but facing Baylor in Morgantown gives the old gold and blue a chance for a victory. It might be a track meet, but WVU does possess enough offensive weapons to make the game interesting.
It's just as crazy to think that the Mountaineers can go into Stillwater and 'steal' a game from the Cowboys. This team has not proven that it can overcome the woes of travel to win against a quality opponent.
That leaves TCU as the 'make-or-break' game for WVU in this trio of games. A victory over the Horned Frogs should give the Mountaineers a 2-1 mark and set up a couple of different bowl scenarios as they move into the final three games of 2014.

Luka Bloom live at St. Mary's Collegiate Church, Youghal. Friday 7th September 2012.
Tickets €20 on sale at Scotts Shop, 137 north main street, Youghal. Tel: 024 90333
Music style
Luka Bloom's style of guitar playing is very distinctive. In his early career as Barry Moore, Bloom used a fingerpicking style. However, tendinitis in his hands forced him to adopt a heavy, fast strumming style which is the one he still uses and is often credited with his success. He usually plays in the DADGAD tuning and plays his electric acoustic guitar through a bass amplifier and chorus pedal to produce a warm, haunting tone. In more recent years he has performed his sets entirely with a Spanish guitar with softer strings than his steel-strung electric acoustics: this has mellowed his tone somewhat. It is possible his change in guitar choice is related to his tendinitis.
History and touring
He began his career in the United States playing small clubs in Washington DC and later in New York City. He was a frequent performer in New York's Greenwich Village at the Red Lion, where he played with Eileen Ivers backing him on fiddle, during his "Irishman in Chinatown" tour. (Ivers would also appear on the Riverside album.) His guitars were often introduced by name at gigs.
He toured America frequently through the 1990s, although his contemporary touring schedules take him mostly to Europe.

Cut-Price Phone Operator Rebtel's App to Reduce Dropped Calls
Swedish company Rebtel allows land line and cellphone users to make very cheap or even free international calls. With the launch of an updated version 2.0 of its iPhone app and a similarly new Android app on the way, it could add to the 13 million subscribers who make it the world's No. 2 Internet phone company after Skype.
The new Rebtel app offers free calls to other app users as well cut-price international rates for voice and texts which, the company says, are up to 98% cheaper than other carriers. Tech Crunch says:
And perhaps the coolest feature of Rebtel's app is a new proprietary technology called "KeepTalking," which allows users to transition (mid-call, mind you) from WiFi/3G to local minutes."
Tech Crunch continues:
With the mobile VoIP market expected to reach $36 billion in revenues by 2016, and with 70 million mobile VoIP users expected to be in operation by the end of the year, Rebtel's ability to call any phone or PC anywhere over WiFI/3G or local minutes and seamlessly switch between them if coverage deteriorates, seems to lend it a significant value proposition.
Forbes adds:
And as Rebtel launches its new service, its financial performance is going like gangbusters. In 2009, the company had $18 million in revenues and [C.E.O. Andreas] Bernstrom expects it to end 2011 with a $75 million revenue run rate after turning cash flow positive in mid-2010…
Now that Rebtel is cash flow positive, it is still living off of the $20 million it raised in 2006 from Index Ventures and Balderton Capital. Rebtel picked Index because it was a well-respected venture firm in Europe and it chose Balderton due to its U.S. presence and track record.
And Reuters concludes:
Bernstrom said there were no imminent plans to raise more capital… but said this could change if launch of the new app goes well and capital markets would be better.
"It might make sense to arrange Series B," he said.

As a private landowner, Adolphus has demonstrated his commitment to floodplain conservation by donating a conservation easement on Belleau Farm, his farm and home in the St. Charles County floodplain. Adolphus has also been a strong voice of persuasion for other landowners to follow suit. The wetlands of St. Charles County are under serious threat of being lost forever. Adolphus recognized this threat and took it upon himself to bring about awareness, change and respect for America's floodplains. No one has done more to protect the floodplain of St. Charles County.

Imagine 9-year-old Jimmy rushing down the soccer field during a big game: He skirts ... dodges ... kicks ... and scores! But surprisingly, his proud parents stay mum, silently pumping fists in the air.
In the Bay Area and around the country, that scenario is less imaginary than you might think. Some youth sports teams are actually asking parents to do the unthinkable: keep quiet during games. It's part of an effort to encourage good sportsmanship among kids and minimize obnoxious talk from adult spectators, who just can't seem to keep from second-guessing the coach.
On a recent silent-game weekend for an Oakland soccer team, 8-year-old Sophia Abelson was playing while her mom and other relatives watched. But she didn't hear them cheering -- because they'd been asked not to.
"I felt less inspired," says Sophia, who plays on the Rockridge Soccer League's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" team.
Her mother, Bibi Jackson, thought the e-mail she'd received before the game, asking all the adults to keep quiet, was a joke. It said that only players would be allowed to speak -- and then only on the field.
For many reasons
But as un-American as it may seem not to scream for young athletes, silent games started catching on around the nation roughly five years ago. Various teams implement the shush-rule in different ways, for a number of different reasons: It can curb put-downs that parents might yell out, even unintentionally, and nix the potential for adults to get in the faces of referees. It can prevent parents from shouting out messages to their children contradicting what their coaches have told them. It encourages players to think for themselves, rather than listen for Mom or Dad to say what they should do on each play.
Sometimes, a league will ask for silence throughout a whole weekend. Or sometimes a coach will ask everyone to hush up for just an hour or a quarter. For the most part, these silence episodes are planned in advance. One Pennsylvania youth soccer league requests silence during one weekend in the fall, handing out lollipops to help keep fans from yelling.
For Jim Thompson, founder and director of the respected Positive Coaching Alliance in Mountain View, "the idea is to have the kids be the decision-makers." He says, "Often, there's so much screaming on the field that, when you have silence, the kids will ... say, 'I could actually hear my teammates.' "
Parents not pleased
But Thompson says putting a muzzle on adults is far from easy. "Parents don't necessarily buy into it," he says. "They get really angry: 'You can't tell me I can't cheer for my kid.' "
If an organization wants to silence the crowd effectively, Thompson adds, coaches need to present the idea to parents in advance and get buy-in well before a game is played.
Thompson doesn't necessary promote silence as a long-term solution to a lack of sportsmanship among spectators or to a parent's desire to talk his young athlete through a game. But he says in small doses it can make for a welcome teachable moment.
In general though, he promotes "no-direction cheering" -- which means spectators can encourage the players, but without telling them what to do. "Kick the ball to Jeanie!" is a no-no, but "Way to hustle!" is OK, according to Thompson.
Alamo soccer coach Ted Lawrence, whose Mustang Colts are made up of boys younger than 11, acknowledges that, when the team tried to silence games a few years ago, the "parents weren't really into it. For myself," he adds, "it wa s kind of eerie. The excitement of the game kind of got taken away."
Still, Lawrence uses other methods to keep parents in line, especially those first-time soccer moms and dads who get all fired up and yell to their young athletes from lawn chairs at the edge of the field. Instead of asking parents to zip their lips, Lawrence encourages them to cheer good plays by both teams. When that happens, the kids pick up on the idea that alertness, prowess and teamwork, not just beating the opposing team, are the goals.
'Would be impossible'
Karl Hawkins of San Jose, a parent of two young soccer players and coach of each one's team, says he's never heard of asking parents to keep quiet during games. "I bet it would be impossible," he adds. "The people you want to control wouldn't be able to control themselves."
Still, he has talked with a father about not sending his daughter mixed messages from the sidelines. The girl "was trying to please her dad and the coaches," Hawkins says, noting the double-coaching can cause confusion and heartache for kids.
With his 6-year-old's Central Valley Youth Soccer team, Hawkins simply separates adult onlookers from those actually involved in the game. "The coaches are on one side, and the parents are on the other," he says. "That way, the coaches can't really hear what the parents are saying."
Kari Doolittle of Danville, the mother of two teenage soccer players, also coaches the Mustang Dynamites team for girls under 14. That league hasn't played a silent game since 2007, but there's a current push for one.
"I'm mixed," she says about silent games. As a parent, she says she likes the idea of banning comments from folks who seem to think they can out-coach the coaches. She likes having a silent game maybe once in a season to demonstrate that things don't have to be the way they usually are. "Then, I think we should all find a happy medium," she says. "I think parents should just yell the good stuff."
In her own coaching, Doolittle employs moments of silence, choosing not to shout instructions from the sidelines. Instead, she pulls players aside to talk to them and sometimes draw a diagram before sending them back on the field.
Doolittle says she actually finds the parents of her team too tranquil. "We really could use a little more positive cheering out there."

Positive reinforcement
Some children's sports leagues request silence from spectators. But for Jim Thompson, executive director of the Positive Coaching Alliance in Mountain View, "the goal is for parents to learn how to fill their kids' emotional tank." Some tips:
1. Keep emotions positive. Emotional tanks should be filled with specific, truthful praise. Nonverbal communication, like high-fives and head nods, is also good.
2. Reduce fear of mistakes. Help your child "reset" for the next play by making a "flushing" motion, pushing your hand down as if to flush the mistake away.
3. Focus on effort. When your child tries hard and succeeds, say, "Great play. Your hard work is paying off." If she fails, say, "It didn't work out, but I love your effort." Let your child know you value effort more than talent.
4. Cheer but don't coach. Avoid giving sideline advice by eliminating verbs. Say, "Great pass," but not "Pass it." It's the coach's job to coach, not a parent's.
5. If needed, create a self-control routine. To keep from getting carried away, count backward from 20, take five deep breaths, or do whatever it takes to avoid embarrassing your child -- and yourself.

The blog was taken from a press release distributed by Golden Boy Promotions, the lead promoter of the HBO Pay Per View-televised card featuring Floyd Mayweather Jr. against Miguel Cotto in the main event.
Alvarez (39-0-1, 29 knockouts) is 19 years younger than the 40-year-old Mosley (46-7-1, 39 KOs), who is 0-2-1 in his past three fights, having sandwiched a draw with junior middleweight Sergio Mora in September of 2010 between one-sided losses to Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
Alvarez is returning to the MGM Grand, site of Mosley's losses to Mayweather and Pacquiao, and, like Mosley, is training in Big Bear, Calif.
Among the most notable wins for Alvarez was stopping former welterweight titleholder Carlos Baldomir with a sensational overhand right for a sixth-round knockout that left Baldomir lying face-first on the canvas in September of 2010.
In defeating Baldomir, Alvarez stopped a man who had gone the distance with Mayweather and the late Vernon Forrest. Baldomir had been stopped only one other time, by Paulo Alejandro Sanchez, and that was in the second round of his seventh pro fight in May 1994.
Another signature win for Alvarez was his fifth-round stoppage of two-time beltholder Kermit Cintron in his last fight in November.
How impressive would it be for Alvarez to stop Mosley?
"I would expect [Alvarez] to look better than Pacquiao and Mayweather did against Mosley because that's the type of talent that Canelo has," said Golden Boy Promotions' President, Oscar De La Hoya, who lost twice to Mosley. "I don't expect him to go and look for the knockout with Shane Mosley…because if you look for the knockout, you won't get it. But he didn't look for the knockout against Baldomir."
"So you just never know what's going to happen in that ring, especially when you're facing Canelo. I would be pleasantly surprised if Canelo knocks [Mosley] out. Obviously, it would catapult him to just another stratosphere. Nobody has ever been able to knock out Shane Mosley, including myself and including the best in the world. If a 21-year-old fighter named Canelo can do it, then that will be huge."
Tuesday, April 24
Question for Alvarez: You're a champion at age 21, so you'd appear to have a long road ahead. What are your long-term goals? Any fights you really want to make? Titles across multiple divisions? Pound-for-pound glory?
"I don't tend to think of the future in those specific of terms. Of course, I have lot of personal goals as a fighter and as a man. I don't tend to think about much besides the present and what I need to do now. Focus is something I pride myself on. It really is.
"I see, in a lot of my peers, a lack of focus on the fights themselves, and I wonder why some of them even fight. Sure, it's easy to get lost in the hoopla and the 'what's next' discussion. But if I don't box the best I can right now, then there is no next. I am a professional boxer, and my entire focus is winning these fights.
"I am training very had and making immense progress. The determination I have in training now will propel me to a victory on May 5, not thinking to what I have left to do. I am 21, so I know many opportunities will be presented, and I look forward to them. But like I said, that doesn't affect me as a fighter right now.
"I am proud of what I have accomplished so far, and I will be proud to win on May 5. I've heard some people ask 'well what if you don't win?' The truth is that isn't an option to me. I don't fathom any situation where I don't win. That's really it. But I know it won't be easy, and I embrace the challenge whole-heartedly."

AMD: what went wrong?
Five years ago, AMD looked set to topple Intel. Now its very existence is under threat. Mike Jennings investigates what went wrong
In 2006, AMD could seemingly do no wrong. Its processors were the fastest in the PC market, annual revenue was up a record 91%, expansion into the graphics game had begun with the high-profile acquisition of ATI, and it was making exciting plans for a future where, we speculated, it could "smash Intel's chip monopoly" for good.
Its chief rival, meanwhile, was having a torrid time. Intel's first-quarter results saw a 40% drop in profit, revenue was falling, and it shed around 10% of its workforce: a whopping 10,000 jobs.
The underdog from Sunnyvale was on the verge of toppling Intel, and it felt like the computing tide was about to turn.
The underdog from Sunnyvale was on the verge of toppling Intel, and it felt like the computing tide was about to turn
Although 2011 has seen eerie parallels with 2006, the shoe is now definitely on the other foot. This time it's AMD that's cutting 10% of its global workforce, after its share price plummeted from a high of $9.44 in February 2011 to $4.53 by October.
How did AMD end up surrendering such a advantageous position – and was it given an unfair shove on the way down?
Troublesome transistors
The extent to which AMD has contributed to its own downfall can hardly be exaggerated. Back in 2006, AMD sought to capitalise on its success by announcing two major products: the Barcelona desktop architecture and Fusion, its much anticipated first collaboration with ATI.
Both were plagued with glitches, delays and production problems however, which extinguished much of the early enthusiasm.
Barcelona was officially finalised in the summer of 2006, with president Dirk Meyer promising a summer 2007 launch for the new chips, branded "Phenom".
But the August launch was postponed until September and, when AMD finally put its chips on the table, they received a frosty critical reception – our tests concluded we were "underwhelmed by its performance levels" – thanks to a flaw that required a key internal buffer to be disabled. Fixed chips didn't arrive until April 2008.
AMD's failure to capitalise on its technology lead was brutally (and as we'll see later, unfairly) exploited by Intel. Just months after fully working Phenoms finally materialised, Intel unveiled its Core i7-920 – and we said "there isn't a doubt in our minds that tomorrow belongs to Core i7".
Its November 2008 launch was followed by the mid-range Core i5 almost a year later and, in January 2010, by Core i3 – two series of processors that waded straight into AMD's traditional budget stronghold.
Amazingly, it took AMD three years to respond to Intel's first-generation Core processors, with Bulldozer. The architecture, launched as FX in 2011, is built using dual-core modules, and pre-release talk was bullish: leaked AMD documents saw high-end FX cores squaring up to Intel's Core i7-2600 series, and AMD unveiled prices that were much lower than those of Intel.
The move was welcomed by IDC analyst Mario Morales, who says AMD should "establish its own position rather than compete with Intel". AMD's own spokesman Mike Silverman told customers to "let go of the old AMD versus Intel mindset, because it won't be about that any more."
Yet comparison is inevitable – and not very complimentary. Our review concluded that "Intel still holds all the cards", with pricier AMD FX processors delivering benchmark scores synonymous with Intel's mid-range Core i5s. The verdict was unanimous; our sister title bit-tech dubbed the FX-8150 a "stinker".
Light was shed on Bulldozer's problems when ex-AMD engineer Cliff Maier spoke out about manufacturing issues during the earliest stages of design. "Management decided there should be cross-engineering [between AMD and ATI], which meant we had to stop hand-crafting CPU designs," he said.

SCITUATE, R.I. � A Richmond man faces a felony charge for unlawful appropriation of an insurance settlement, a news release from the Rhode Island State Police said Wednesday.
Michael Bresette, 43, of 52 Tug Hollow Road, Richmond, was arraigned in District Court, Warwick, on Wednesday and released on his own recognizance until a May 7 prearraignment conference.
Members of the State Police Financial Crimes Unit made the arrest after an investigation that began with a complaint from someone who hired Bresette as an insurance adjuster for a homeowner�s claim.
Bresette is the owner of AAA Public Insurance Adjusters and Imperial Restoration of West Warwick, but his insurance adjuster license was revoked by the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation on Jan. 9, 2012, based on criminal charges that included insurance fraud and obtaining money under false pretenses.
After a settlement was negotiated, the victim received a check for $41,262.50, which required his signature and that of Bresette and JP Morgan Chase Bank. The victim signed the check and forwarded it to Bresette, who allegedly deposited the check into his bank account without the endorsement of JP Morgan Chase. Bresette withdrew all of the funds from his account days later. The victim never received the money to repair his home.

Great Expectations
by Charles Dickens
Great Expectations Chapter 22 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 1
"He says, no varnish can hide the grain of the wood; and that the more varnish you put on, the more the grain will express itself." (22.52)
Herbert gives us some wisdom straight from his dad: you can't hide someone's true nature. Matthew might like some other expressions: put lipstick on a pig, put rouge on the corpse, making a purse out of a swine's ear, putting a racing stripe on a … never mind. We'll let you complete that one yourself.
Quote 2
"He practised on her affection in that systematic way, that he got great sums of money from her, and he induced her to buy her brother out of a share in the brewery (which had been weakly left him by his father) at an immense price, on the plea that when he was her husband he must hold and manage it all." (22.52)
We just love when our boyfriends are "systematic" with us. It's so romantic. Which makes us ask: how could Miss Havisham possibly not know that Compeyson was conning her? Was she just fooling herself?
Quote 3
"The marriage day was fixed, the wedding dresses were bought, the wedding tour was planned out, the wedding guests were invited. The day came, but not the bridegroom. He wrote her a letter—"
"Which she received," I struck in, "when she was dressing for her marriage? At twenty minutes to nine?"
"At the hour and minute," said Herbert, nodding, "at which she afterwards stopped all the clocks." (22.55)
It's easy to roll your eyes at Miss Havisham for being way dramatic—it's just a wedding, get over it, lady—but it really does effectively end her life. In nineteenth-century England, being dumped like this is social homicide.

Post subject: necessary immunizations
I am very concerned with the risk of autism and many are saying it's related to vaccines. My baby is going to be a year old in a few months and I'm trying to decide what vaccines are completely necessary and which can be given later.
Please give me any advice you might have.

It is of course entirely your choice I gave both mine the MMR and would again hopefully when i have my next child. There was report on GMTV this morning about the alarming rise in Measles and the repocushions from it. Deafness blindness and even worse. I have looked after a little boy for 18 mths at the Nursery I worked at and my friend has twins one of which has Autism. Both say looking back the signs were there before they gave the MMR and would give it to their next babies. Of course it is so hard to say but my opinion is I think its important to give. Before I offend anyone this is mine and my friends views and obviously there are people who have not and do not wish to give, which is up to them. I just hope Measles does not become an epidemic. good luck whatever your decision. pupx

O now here's a topic to sink your teeth into!!! I have 2 quotes for you, both are very to the point and VERY OPPOSITE!!!
1: Vaccine adverse effects are amply documented and are far more significant risk to public health than any adverse effect of infectious diseases. They have caused more suffering and deaths than any other human activity in the intire history of medical intervention.
2: The national and international scientific consensus is that immunisation is one of the most cost effective ways of preventing disease and improving health and that risks associated with vaccines are rare. Heath professionals believe that whilst good houseing, breast feeding, a heathy diet and lifestyle choices may reduce the risk of disease, it does not give you immunity. They advise that getting your child immunised is the best protection.
There are such strong beliefs for both arguments, make sure you have the info for both arguments before making the choice.

Where did quote 1 come from? Surely that cant be correct?! I cant believe that the effects from having a vaccine are worse than the actual disease in terms of numbers contracted?! Also, if people are being vaccinated then the number who contract the disease will of course be less are there will be more people immunised.

My daughter has had the MMR vaccine and is developing well.
Both myself and my younger brother had it when we were babies and we're both fine.
Personally I didn't have any worries about my daughter the MMR vaccine but obviously that's a completely personal choice.
I read on the web somewhere that 10-15 years ago doctors thought there were connections between the MMR, autism and meningitis but it all came to nothing as the connection couldn't be proven and no evidence of this connection was ever found.
If you have any concerns speak to your health visitor, they may be ablt to explain thing to you and put your mind at rest.

This Labor Day, I'll be thinking about my family.
My great grandfather, an immigrant from eastern Europe who crossed the Atlantic to work in a western Pennsylvania steel mill, died in that mill in 1929 when a piece of industrial equipment came crashing down on him.
His daughter – my grandmother – was less than a year old.
How many millions of families have suffered similar tragedies? The deadly nature of work in the "Steel Valley" is well documented. Local histories and literary classics such as Blood on the Forge and Out of This Furnace testify to this bloody past.
Clearly, we've come a long way since 1929, most significantly with the formation of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) in 1971.
Nevertheless, tragic workplace deaths occur in America almost every day. Scroll through OSHA's 2014 document recording "FY14 Fatalities and Catastrophes to Date" (PDF), and you'll begin to get a sense of the lives lost each day that may have been prevented.

When the Pulham Blue Cocks coach drops dead on the sidelines, Vice is brought in to turn around the worst team in college football's lowest division. Marshall Cook costars as Mitch, the slacker second-string quarterback who butts heads with Vice, his worst nightmare, but maybe Vice's demented methods will be just the spark to turn Mitch and the Blue Cocks into winners.

Okay, so tonight is the night. We are going to be on 20/20 at 10pm. I think it's 10pm New York time. You know I don't get the whole time zone thing, so just check their website to figure out when it airs for you.
We will be in Chicago. We're wrapping up our vacation. I am purposely not going home tonight out of fear that the show will make me look like a bad person and our local news people will want to talk to me about it (because they do… but OOPS! I'm out of town). Also, our central air is still broken because I forgot to leave the repairman a house key. So, I'm going to enjoy the show from the comfort of a Chicago hotel room, in my pajamas, with a half consumed bottle of wine, and air conditioning. Chicago feels less stressful than Toledo for the evening.
This vacation has been awesome. The kids have had the time of their lives. Logan cried when we left the condo this morning. He thought we were going to live there forever. So besides a few hiccups (lack of internet or phone access in the mountains, I started my period a week early, and the kids aren't fun in the van for 8 hours), I would totally go to Wisconsin Dells again for family vacation.
We've figured out that our kids sleep better after we cook them in hot tubs. I am now officially looking for a hot tub for our home. Not only will it help our baby vampires (who never sleep at night and manage to suck the energy out of you), but I think it will also make Sex Saturday Night sexier. We could put the kids to bed, go back to the hot tub, and Shaun and I could hump each other. I guess I should also start looking for a privacy fence to go with our soon-to-be hot tub.
We took the kids to waterparks and no one drowned or got their intestines sucked out of their butts from sitting on a wave pool drain. I consider this a win.
And I was FINALLY able to get a tampon inside of me, thanks to my totally awesome husband. Shaun was kind enough to insert the damn thing for me. I kept it in for exactly 5 minutes before puking in the toilet, which ultimately resulted in a lot of coughing and dislodging of the tampon. I yanked that puppy the rest of the way out. It felt like sandpaper was ripping out my insides. And then I cried because I am obviously weird, and I have strange phobias about Toxic Shock Syndrome. Shaun felt so bad for me that he loaned me a pair of his boxers to wear to the waterpark. He's such a great guy.
Last night we went to a casino in Wisconsin Dells called The Ho-Chunk. I lost $178 AT THE PENNY SLOTS! How is that even possible? The Ho-Chunk is bunk. But we did pass a strip club called Cruisin' Chubby's to get to the casino. I'm not sure if it's a strip club for chubby chasers or if it is referring to a penis. Either way, whoever named that place deserves a prize.
Help us out with the rest of our vacation, what is cool to do in Chicago with an 8 year-old, a 3 year-old, and a 23 month-old? It seems like going out to the bars would be out of the question since drunks are so judgy about being around a bunch of babies (and I have only ever done adult things in Chicago).

Can Software Dealers Survive The Age Of The Internet?
International is leading the shift to online sales and support
Mort Rosenthal and Rory Cowan have a wager on the future of their new company, Stream International Inc. Rosenthal, who is chairman, says half of Stream's business--distributing software and technical support to corporations--will be conducted entirely over the Internet by the end of the year. Cowan, the company's chief executive, figures it will take at least two years to reach that level.
No matter who wins the $20 bet, the trend is clear: More and more software will be delivered over the Net. Software, after all, is the ultimate digital product--bits that can be zapped anywhere--and Internet software makers such as Netscape Communications Corp. have been sending programs and updates over the Net for more than a year. Microsoft Corp., which began testing online selling late last year, expects 10% of its products to be delivered online within 18 months. By 1999, says Forrester Research Inc., half of all software will be dispensed electronically.
The shift is appealing to software makers and consumers--both can expect lower costs and nearly instantaneous updates. But what about Stream and the other companies that make up the $30 billion industry that moves programs from the factories of software makers to the computers of businesses and consumers? "Resellers are under severe threat," says Forrester analyst Stan Dolberg.
Stream, a $1.6 billion giant of the industry, is determined to lead the change--not get run over by it. Formed last April when the Global Software Services unit of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. merged with software distributor Corporate Software, Stream has already begun moving away from the "box" business.
Corporate Software, formed in 1983, steered clear of the storefront retail business, where companies such as Software Etc. and Egghead Inc. eke out tiny margins by selling to consumers. Instead, it focused on supplying big companies with thousands of copies of programs from various manufacturers. It also had been moving into other services such as software installation, technical support, and managing corporatewide licensing contracts with software makers. While these functions are essential for keeping big corporations up-to-date, few companies have the in-house staff for the job and even the biggest software makers won't take it on. Global Software Services, meanwhile, grew as an outsourcing firm for software makers--cranking out programs on diskettes and CD-ROMs, printing manuals and shipping boxes to resellers.
CLEARINGHOUSE. The combined company, which is 80% owned by Donnelley, figured they could handle all the steps it takes to move a program from a developer such as Microsoft--a big Stream customer--to the computer on a corporate desktop. What's more, Stream can also take care of upgrades, technical support, and other post-sale services.
The Internet gives the Norwood (Mass.)-based company a chance to add another service for corporate customers and expand its clientele. Stream plans to start with an electronic consumer "store" on the World Wide Web in June. "We aim to be the electronic middleman when someone wants to buy software on the Internet," says Rosenthal. On May 7, Stream announced the Electronic Licensing and Security Initiative, a digital clearinghouse to handle orders and track licenses for software delivered in cyberspace. The system, planned for later this year, is backed by IBM and ATsuperscript&T and uses electronic-commerce security guidelines proposed by Microsoft.
Stream isn't alone in cyberspace, of course. Other software resellers including ASCII Corp. and an alliance led by Software Spectrum Inc. are planning clearinghouses, too. Egghead's electronic commerce subsidiary, Elekom, has been testing an online catalog for a year.
The ultimate competitive threat could come from software makers, who also could go directly to buyers over the Net. But there are plenty of business reasons why they won't--at least not yet. While packaged software still accounts for the bulk of sales, software makers can't afford to lose the support of traditional resellers.
"HEAVY LIFTING." Indeed, software makers say they aren't interested in ending the dealer system because it's a way to provide services they can't. "The channel adds value that will still be important when we distribute electronically," says Johan Leidgren, Microsoft's liaison with resellers.
Rosenthal is more blunt: "We do a lot of heavy lifting for them, cheap." One example: More than 40% of software support phone calls farmed out by corporations are handled by Stream. And revenue from that business is doubling every year, says Rosenthal.
Stream figures that the Net can ease some of that heavy lifting, too. Take license management--tracking the copies of programs companies are allowed to make under "site license" agreements. Over the Net, Stream figures it can get a better handle on how many copies are in use by distributing electronic "tokens" to customers. Whenever a company needs another copy it can get one over the Net by redeeming a token.
Technical support is another area where Stream plans to push into new territory using network links. Through its electronic store, Stream will charge users for help--a small fee for a simple answer from Stream's technical-support database and a higher one for advice from a real person.
Still, for Stream's gamble to pay off, the company will have to generate an explosion of new business. Increasingly, it expects to make its money off transactions--software downloads, help calls, license redemptions--rather than from marking up software boxes. That strategy requires volume, one reason why Stream is using its online store to go after thousands of new consumer and small-business customers. "We believe being big and nimble is better than being little and nimble," says Rosenthal. If he's right, he'll pocket more than $20.

A New Program for Suicide Prevention
Dr. Garrett Gilmer, Director of the Counseling Center and Associate Director of the Center for Health, Dr. Faith Yingling, Director of Wellness, and Dr. Terry Rentner, Professor and Director of the School of Media and Communication, have secured a grant totaling more than $300,000 to support the creation and implementation of a new suicide prevention initiative on campus. The purpose of their program, Empowering a Community: Creating a Culture of Care for Suicide Prevention, is to develop a more strategic and comprehensive approach to suicide prevention at BGSU. Specifically, this project intends to focus on developing programs, activities, and social marketing aimed at the following:
- Educating faculty, staff, and students about warning signs of suicide
- Empowering (through education and training) faculty, staff and students to intervene with students who may be exhibiting indications of distress or suicide risk
- Reducing stigma associated with help seeking behaviors
- Creating a culture of care on campus that promotes shared responsibility for suicide prevention
- Increasing awareness of resources for help among the student body including on-campus resources and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Check your spruce for yellow-headed spruce sawfly
About the time the lilacs are in full bloom in your neighborhood, yellow-headed spruce sawfly adults will be flying around and laying eggs on white spruce needles The adults prefer to lay their eggs on trees that are in sunny locations, most commonly, on the terminals of open-grown seedlings. Tiny larvae will hatch from these eggs from seven to fourteen days later and begin to feed on the new needles, leaving only short brown stubs in their wake.
The best place to look for the larvae is on trees that the yellow-headed spruce sawflies fed on last year. The best time to look, in most of northern Minnesota, is during the first three weeks of June. If you don't find them the first time, check again a week later. Don't wait until the defoliation is obvious through your neighbor's kitchen window. Small numbers of larvae can be hand picked off the trees but lots of larvae on lots of trees will require chemical control. High sawfly populations or repeated years of defoliation not only make the spruces look bad but can also kill them.

BRIDEGROOM is a documentary film by director Linda Bloodworth Thomason that tells the emotional journey of Shane Bitney Crone and Tom Bridegroom, two young men in a loving and committed relationship that was cut tragically short. The story of what happened after Tom's accidental death—of how people in relationships without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves completely shut out and ostracized by family members—is poignant, provoking and opens a window into the issue of marriage equality and human rights.
We are honored to welcome Shane Bitney Crone as a guest speaker after the screening, to learn more about his story and the important issues the film raises.
The following is a reprint of a blog post by Shane from this past April on Huffington Post Gay Voices, with thanks to Shane and the Huffington Post for allowing us to share it with all of you.
As a young gay man, growing up in a small, conservative town in Montana wasn't easy. I knew I was different from my peers well before I understood what the word "gay" even meant. As a closeted teen, I experienced a significant amount of bullying everywhere I went: in the halls of my school, at high school football games and even in the church youth group. I was called "fag" and "queer" on a regular basis and even watched as my classmates once took turns spitting into a cup, the contents of which were meant to be poured over my head.Once an outgoing, confident and happy child, I quickly became a depressed, hopeless and lost teenager who did not want to continue living in a world so full of hate. For too long I had been treated horribly, belittled and made to feel like less than I was, simply for being gay. I didn't understand the cruelty of my peers, but I eventually became conditioned to believe that I deserved it.During these tumultuous high school years, I developed a crush on my best friend. One day I finally mustered up the courage to give him a love letter. Alas, he didn't feel the same way. Though his initial rejection stung, he was kind about the situation and said he wanted to remain friends. It was my first heartache, but I knew I'd be OK -- until his parents discovered the letter and told everyone in the community about my "scandalous" behavior. They forbade me from seeing their son and convinced our principal to ban me from school sporting events. I was even denied the opportunity to attend a church trip simply because he would be on it too. This was in spite of the fact that I had worked all summer raising money to go.What saved me throughout these harsh years was the prospect of one day moving away and living in a place where I could be free to be myself and possibly find someone who would love me as me. However, this dream seemed fleeting, because, at the time, I barely considered myself worthy of love.Thankfully, I didn't give up. I persevered, graduated from high school and moved to California, where I met the love of my life, Tom Bridegroom. Tom was an amazing person who believed in me and spent his days convincing me that I was worthy of love -- his love. I didn't understand why he had chosen me, but I was grateful each and every day anyway.Throughout our relationship we hid the fact that we were a couple, mainly because I was embarrassed and ashamed to be out. I loved him more than anything, but I allowed years of bullying, homophobic messages in the media and conservative Christian hate speech to convince me that my relationship would be best when concealed. To circumvent potential judgment when we were around others, we developed a secret code: We would find a way to tap each other's hand, leg or a hard surface three times to say "I love you." Tap, tap, tap: I love you. It became a very special sound for both of us, and often we would just say "tap, tap, tap" out loud, because no one knew what it meant. It was our little secret.Both of us agreed that we would not come out to our families until we'd found the person with whom we wanted to spend the rest of our lives. When we finally decided that we had found that in each other, we made good on our agreement. I went first. My family was supportive and happy for me, which was naturally a huge relief, because Tom and I had awkwardly pretended to be roommates for years. Tom's experience did not go so well. His parents were furious. They blamed me for "making" their son gay, and his father attacked Tom and threatened him with a shotgun. Tom's parents begged him to seek treatment and told him that being gay is a sinful secret that he should have taken to his grave.Regardless of that nightmare, Tom remained the happy, positive and loving human being he had always been. We shared so many wonderful life experiences together: We bought our first home, adopted a dog, started a business, traveled the world and even planned on starting a family one day.On May 7, 2011, Tom was photographing our friend on her rooftop. He got too close to the edge, lost his balance and fell four stories. When I arrived at the emergency room, nurses refused to tell me anything and would not allow me to see him, because he and I weren't "family." Tom and I had been together for six years, and we had vowed to marry each other when it was legally recognized, but in the eyes of the hospital and the government, I was just a roommate. Eventually a doctor came in and said coldly, "He didn't make it." That was it. The love of my life, whom I had just seen that morning, was no longer alive. I was numb. My best friend fought with the stubborn nurses to let me see Tom's body, but they all refused. Eventually a sympathetic nurse, risking her job, quietly led me into his room. His body was covered, but I could see blood around where his face was and tubes emerging from his chest. The only place I could put my hand was on his leg. I did three final taps and left.It didn't occur to me in that moment that I would never see him again.Once Tom's mother arrived in Los Angeles, I had no control. She took his body back to Indiana, where his funeral was held, and barred me from attending. Tom's family had threatened to hurt me if I showed my face in their town.On the one-year anniversary of Tom's accident, I posted a video on Youtube that told our story. Although it was a cathartic process for me and a tribute to the love of my life, more than anything I wanted it to serve as a warning to other LGBT couples. The video went viral and garnered over 2 million views in a week. Soon thereafter, writer/director Linda Bloodworth Thomason approached me and convinced me that Tom's and my story needed to be told. That story is now the documentary BRIDEGROOM, which will be making it's world television premiere on OWN - The Oprah Winfrey network on 10/27.Tom taught me so much about life and myself. Losing him taught me so much more. I miss him every day, but I thank God for the time we had together. At the premiere I will wear the promise ring Tom gave me, as well as the ring that I bought him after he passed. We used to hide our love, but now I proudly show the world just how much we cherished each other.I miss you, Tom. Tap, tap, tap.

In the days following Superstorm Sandy, Starbucks and other restaurants in the New York City region had lines out the door. The customers were not in line to get coffee or food, but instead to use the electric outlets to charge their dead cell phones.
The administration of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, AT&T and other organizations are now looking to cut down on those lines by erecting solar charging stations across New York City's five boroughs.

CES: Panasonic and 'Avatar,' 3D Pals
Panasonic said at CES that its focus in 2010 would be on bringing 3D entertainment straight to viewers' living rooms.
Panasonic opened its press conference Wednesday with a surprise live broadcast of Fumio Ohtsubo, its president, from Osaka, Japan, on an HD visual communications system. He asked the audience, "How do I look?"
Mr. Ohtsubo introduced Panasonic's new HD 3D professional video camera, which integrates two lenses and the camera head into one body. "It looks a little like it comes from a Disney movie, doesn't it?" he said. "But I assure you, it is no cartoon."
Panasonic had already let one big cat out of the bag prior to CES when it revealed a a partnership with Skype that will bring voice and video calls to a line of Panasonic HDTVs this spring. But on Wednesday, Panasonic said it would also work with DirecTV to create three new HD 3D television channels by June. Eric Shanks, an executive vice president at DirecTV, called it "the next frontier of TV entertainment."
Two of the channels will feature movies, sports and music from partnerships with CBS, NBC and MTV, among others, and a third would be video on demand. This summer, Mr. Shanks said, the MLB all-star game will broadcast in 3D.
Panasonic made sure to roll out some of the big guns to drive home its message. On the heels of the success of "Avatar," producer Jon Landau took to the stage to plug Panasonic's contribution to the making of the film, as well as the company's stake in the future of 3D programming.
Mr. Landau said he had already chosen to use Panasonic plasma screens at work during the making of "Avatar." Moving forward, he added, "everybody will expect all of their content to be in 3D."
Skype CEO Josh Silverman also promoted his company's new partnership with Panasonic's new line of Viera Cast-enabled HDTVs, saying that they would make video calling "ubiquitous and available for anyone in the world."
"2010 will be the year when the television moved from the center of entertainment in the home to the center of entertainment and communication in the home," he said.

pmlljl,It is with great anticipation that the bear has purchased some MEOH at $9.25. The methanol will be poured into a giant hold on one of the Golden Ocean dry-cargo ships. Then, at midnight on New Year's Eve, which is whenever you want it to be when anchored at the North Pole, a match will be dropped into the hold. The flames shooting up from the hatch will make quite a show--visible from as far out as Mars, we're hoping.
pj:It sounds like you and the bear are planning a modern version of the "northern lights".My order to buy ITIC at $31 was filled in bits and pieces and I bought the last of it today. I have placed another buy order slightly lower in price. I am trying to provide a service to humanity by providing liquidity to the poor souls who want to sell at low prices to establish tax losses for 2008. I only hope those same people have the decency to buy the stock back from me in March 2009 for $50 per share so that I may provide even more liquidity to tax loss sellers next year.
