Dash (-) or underscore (_) in your URLs?
For a URL / website address, having dash (or sometimes referred as hyphen) works better than underscore. There are two main reasons as to why dash is more preferred. Firstly, Google has stated in its Webmaster Central that it recognises dash/hyphen as a word separator. On the contrary two words joined by underscore are viewed as a combined word. Therefore from Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) point of view, it is recommended to use dash or hyphen over underscore for your URL if need be.
In addition, dash also holds the advantage from user-experience point of view. In a standard link, dash can be easily identified as a separator between words because of its position whereas underscore could easily blend with underline and being mistaken as just a normal space especially due to the fact that it usually sits just above the underline.
For example:
Have a look at these two URLs
As you can see, the one with dash is much easier to read and more friendly. Moreover Google does not have any guidelines regarding the use of underscore in URLs so why would you want to use it over dash.

I filled out all their required information (ALL my personal info) then went to the next step "get your report", There was a list of the 3 major reporting agencies, TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian. You can choose one or all three.
I chose all 3.
It then took me to the next page which was TransUnion. When I tried to go further it said I already had a TransUnion account and needed to login.
Well since I DID NOT have an account with them I wanted to see what it would tell me if I said 'forgot my user ID and password'.
I again entered my personal info when prompted,then procedded to the next page only to be told my "account" was temporarily suspended do to too many attempts to login.
Well first of all I didn't realize that 1 was too many. Second, there is no way to contact them,(AnnualCreditReport) I tried the 877 number, it's a recorded message that gets you nowhere.
So now they have ALL my personal information and I got squat!!
Since I have found Rip off Report and read other comments about these guys I really believe their company is just a big scam to gain personal info on people. I'm afraid to even quess what their doing with it.
I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Protection Dept. in hopes they spark annualcreditreport.com into doing what their web site says they do.
I would NOT recommend this site to anyone. Way too many people have access to our personal information as it is.

I've read the rip off reports about Free Credit Report and Experian, well folks add this one to the list.
I would like to know(if anyone has the answer) how can the companies that control our credit reports, and basically have control over our financial lives can get away with what the 3 major credit reporting compaines get away with. They have WAY TOO MUCH control, and half the time their not even accurate.Somehow we need to change this, it's rediculous.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

'Doki-Doki Universe' Tries To Teach One Robot How To Be Human
by Jason Cipriano December 12, 2013 at 2:00PM | Views: 7,464
Robots and aliens have one inherent thing in common: they'll never be human. From everything we know about robots and aliens, they do not possess the same emotions as the human race, making it difficult for them to understand the way we operate. Take for example, take the story of QT3 - a robot that was left alone on a distant asteroid for decades, just because its family didn't think it could relate enough to humans. That wasn't its fault, it was just programed that way. His salvation came by way of an alien that carried QT3 off of its little asteroid, and on to a wealth of planets with creatures for it to learn from. This story is the basic premise of Doki-Doki Universe - a fantastic tale about a robot coming to grips with the inexplicable needs of humans.
Developer: HumaNature Studios
Publisher: HumaNature Studios
Doki-Doki Universe is at the front of (what will hopefully be) a very long line of independent developers publishing their own games on Sony platforms. While this practice isn't unheard of, Sony has made it clear that they are making a push to bring more indie games to the PlayStation 4, and it is something that Sony fans are likely to see a lot more of in the future. Doki-Doki Universe comes from a small studio in California, whose biggest claim to fame thus far is that their founder is Greg Johnson. While that name might not be too recognizable for most people, Sega Genesis owners will instantly recognize one of his most famous creations, the dynamic duo of Toejam & Earl. Other than that, HumaNature are looking to make a mark with Doki-Doki Universe, and frankly, they might be on to something.
32 years ago a robot, QT3, was left alone (save for his one, red balloon) on a distant planet by his family, because it didn't understand what it was like to be human. Doki-Doki Universe is the story of that robot's quest to gain a greater understanding of the human race, and hopefully be reunited with his family. The way that QT3 hopes to learn more about humans is by traveling to their planets, and helping them out by giving them what they need - whether it's by giving them a hug, a dolphin, or something stinky. QT3 can conjure up a host of different items that it has collected, and give to whomever or whatever it meets along the way to help solve their problems. Layered on top of that gameplay are a series of personality quizzes that are given to the player, and analyzed by the therapist that lives on QT3's home planet, Dr. Therapist. As QT3 learns about humans in the game, the player learns about themselves from the game.
You can get Doki-Doki Universe on all of your Sony platforms for one low price. That's right, Doki-Doki Universe joins Sound Shapes as the second Cross-Buy title for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita. At $14.99, Doki-Doki is a bit of a steal, especially if you own more than one platform. If you like a little try before you buy, you can also get a taste of the game via an extensive demo on any of the platforms. Play through 16 personality quizzes, use Doki-Doki Mail, and visit QT3's home planet and the tutorial planet to get a feel for what the game is like before going all in.
In addition to the game itself, anyone can download the Doki-Doki Mail messaging app for their PS4, PS3, and Vita, as well as Android and iOS devices for free. Players can use it to send messages to anyone else with the app in the unique style of the game.
Doki-Doki Universe isn't your normal game. It's a unique, quirky, insightful, and humorous little experience that not only tasks you with problem solving within the game, but it studies you while you're doing it. When you're done playing, you won't only feel like you've accomplished something within a virtual world, but, if you answer the personality quiz questions truthfully, you'll have a better understand of yourself in the real world. The gaming component of Doki-Doki Universe, solving creatures problems and learning what it's like to be human, is entertaining, and could be a release unto itself. However, by adding in the personality quizzes to examine the person that's playing the game, HumaNature have created something special in Doki-Doki Universe. The gist of the game's core concept can be seen in other open-ended, creativity-based titles games like Scribblenauts, and the self-reflecting quizzes can be found all over the internet. Fortunately for Sony fans, the two have never really crossed paths, but in Doki-Doki Universe they do so in a grand fashion. If you enjoy games that think well outside the box, then Doki-Doki Universe is an adventure that's well worth your time.

It's fast draining, always open with never a temporary tee or green and boasts fabulous views. Designed by five time Open Championship winner J.H. Taylor, the holes are set amidst 200 acres of glorious downland terrain which make for a fantastic game of golf.
Relax afterwards in our clubhouse where fine food and drink await you. Stay for dinner, celebrate an event, or just meet up with friends - the choice is yours.
Become a member and enjoy playing a course thats always in great condition, has a covered practice area and short game facility, buggies available at preferential rates and online tee booking priority. Become part of our community.
just a note to ask you to congratulate Sanjay and his great team for a wonderful night last night. The food was really sensational - not only did it taste great but it looked great too. The service was excellent and we just thought the whole evening was really outstanding. Thank you!
Sport man evening - Brian Moore A big well done yet again for organising such a wonderful night entertainment with Brian Moore in the club house. As with the Nigel Owens and Ron "chopper" Harris, night this was again well managed, the food and service provided was exceptional which was played out in such wonderful surroundings. All the organisers and the staff on the night should be really proud of themselves and I feel compelled to let you know this. I hope with the same passion, you consider holding another event in 2016. Thank you so much.
Enjoyed our golf at Ogbourne Downs this year in early October. Looks likely we will be returning next year. All of our players remarked on the general improvements you have made and standards of tee boxes and greens. Welldone all concerned !
A stunning course with fantastic views across the Wiltshire landscape. Well designed and challenging holes. Fast, responsive greens and well kept fairways Friendly, courteous members made us, as visitors feel very welcome.
Excellent course though physically quite challenging for older players. Very well maintained and good facilities.
Great course in all weathers, even after heavy rain you can play this course with no problems. Quite hilly so its a tough walk. Lots of elevations so uphill and downhill shots which require some thought. All in all a decent course, clubhouse is a little old fashioned though.
Cracking J H Taylor designed downland course . Very enjoyable & great to play on a sunny Winters' day. Excellent greens & allround condition. Lovely ,springy fairway turf. Initially ,when you arrive ,the course doesn't reveal too much as you just see a couple of holes going up slopes but then from the 1st & 10th you subtly meander across & up (overall ,it is quite tough on the ol' legs ) to reach the top of the course where there are extensive views...
Fantastic course, definately my favourite course in the south west
Rating this course is some what difficult as it has everything a golfer would ask for every day different and many different holes enjoyed this course very much and will play again.
An interesting course and overall a very enjoyable venue to visit. Views once on the top are amazing but does mean wind and weather will always be part of a round here. The fairways and greens were in good condition and the greens, although a little slow, were true and pleasingly most were absent of pitch marks... ...Overall a good day and worth a trip.
Stiff but Enjoyable Challenge My second visit - 3 years in between. Seniors Open this time. A very enjoyable course with good variety of holes and excellent views from the numerous elevations. All in excellent condition. Many of the holes are high up which today resulted in a 3club breeze/wind - add in lightning fast greens and a real challenge was presented. The members are a friendly bunch. Well worth a visit if you are in the area - just 5 minutes from M4J15.

Gene Editing: A CBC Interview of Margaret Somerville and Julian Savulescu
The following is a transcript of an interview conducted by Jim Brown from Canadian Broad Casting Corporation's program, The 180, on 3 December between Margaret Somerville and Julian Savulescu
Margaret Somerville is the Founding Director of the Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law, the Samuel Gale Chair in Law and Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University, Montreal. She's also the author of the new book 'Bird on an Ethics Wire: Battles about Values in the Culture Wars'.
Julian Savulescu is Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics and Director of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford.
JB: Julian Savulescu, if I could begin with you. You argue that there is a moral imperative for us to pursue gene editing research. Briefly, why do you think it's so important for us to embrace this technology?
JS: Genetic engineering has been around for about 30 years, widely used in medical research, and also in agriculture, but gene editing is a new version of genetic engineering that is highly accurate, specific, and is able to modify genomes without causing side effects or damage. It's already been used to create malaria-fighting mosquitoes, drought-resistant wheat, and in other areas of agriculture. But what's currently being proposed is the genetic modification of human embryos, and this has caused widespread resistance. I think there's a moral obligation to do this kind of research in the following way. This could be used to create human embryos with very precise genetic modifications, to understand how we develop, why development goes wrong, why genetic disorders occur. It could also be used to create embryonic stem cells with precise changes that might make subsequent stem cells, cancer-fighting stem cells, or even stem cells that fight aging. It could also be used to create tissue with say, changes to understand the origins of Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease and develop drugs for the treatment of those diseases. This is what I'd call therapeutic gene editing, and because it stands to benefit millions of people who die every year of painful and debilitating conditions, we actually have a moral imperative to do it. What we ought to show more concern for and perhaps ban, is what might be called reproductive gene editing – editing embryos to create live-born babies that are free of genetic disease or perhaps more resistant to common, late-onset diseases or even enhanced in various ways. If we're concerned about those sorts of changes in society, we can ban reproductive gene editing, yet also engage in the very beneficial research using genetically modified human embryos to study disease.
JB: And Margaret Somerville, what concerns you about this technology?
MS: Well, I'm interested in the division that Julian makes between the reproductive gene editing and what he calls the therapeutic gene editing. I'm a little surprised that he might not agree with the reproductive gene editing – that is, you would alter the embryo's germline, so that it wouldn't be only altered for that embryo, but all the descendants of that embryo would be changed in the same way. And up until – actually, up until this year, there was almost universal agreement, including in some important international documents, that that was wrong, that was ethically wrong, it was a line that we must never step across, that humans have a right to come into existence with their own unique genetic heritage and other humans have no right to alter them, to design them. Julian uses the term genetic engineering – to make them, to manufacture them. Where we would disagree completely is with the setting up of what can be called human embryo manufacturing plants, that is, you would create human embryos in order to use them to make products that would benefit other people, you would use them for experimentation, for research. And Julian's right, we could do a great deal of good doing that – but there's a huge danger in looking only at the good that we do. And what we're doing there is we're using human life as a product. We're transmitting human life with the intention of killing it by using it as a product, and I believe that's wrong. I think that human embryos have moral status that deserves respect, which means they shouldn't be treated just as products.
How much would you pay to live an extra year?
Dominic Wilkinson, University of Oxford
Medical science continues to push at the boundaries of life and death with new drugs and technologies that can extend life or improve health. But these advances come at a cost. And that inevitably raises difficult questions about whether public health systems should pay for such treatments – and, if so, how much. For example, should the NHS fund the new breast cancer drug Kadycla which comes with a £90,000 price tag per patient?
Some countries make these difficult decisions by looking at the cost-effectiveness of new treatments. How much does the new treatment cost and how effective is it compared with existing treatments? Treatments may help patients live longer, or they may improve a patient's quality of life (or both). Kadycla appears to extend life by about six months.
One mathematical way of combining these elements uses the concept of a Quality-Adjusted Life Year saved, or QALY. As an example, a treatment that extends life for one year but at a "quality" level of half normal it said to save 0.5 QALY. When treatments are assessed this way, health systems can then use a threshold to work out a maximum cost that is affordable. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) uses a threshold of £20,000-£30,000 for each Quality-Adjusted Life Year saved (QALY). This would mean (assuming full quality of life), that the NHS would be prepared to pay £10,000-15,000 for a course of Kadycla.
Is this really me? Parasites and other humans' cells in our brains change our psychology
Many people are suspicious about being manipulated in their emotions, thoughts or behaviour by external influences, may those be drugs or advertising. However, it seems that – unbeknown to most of us – within our own bodies exist a considerable number of foreign entities. These entities can change our psychology to a surprisingly large degree. And they pursue their own interests – which do not necessarily coincide with ours.
Should we do more to help paedophiles?
Follow Rebecca on Twitter here
Luke Malone has published an extremely moving, disturbing, and distressing article in Medium, entitled 'You're 16. You're a pedophile. You don't want to hurt anyone. What do you do now?' (warning: Malone's article contains a graphic description of child abuse). The article focuses on 'Adam', a young man who, aged 16, was horrified to discover that he was sexually attracted to children. Disturbed by his sexual desires, and desperate to avoid acting on them, he suffered depression and initially used child pornography as an outlet for his feelings. (He subsequently stopped doing this.) Adam describes how he eventually went to see a therapist, who was unsympathetic, inexperienced in this area, and ultimately of little help. It turns out that, despite the fact that paedophilia is recognised as a mental disorder, there are major obstacles to helping people who, like Adam, are desperate to avoid harming children. Malone summarises some of the main problems: Continue reading
Economic arguments and assisted dying.
by Dominic Wilkinson (@NeonatalEthics)
Lord Falconer's assisted dying bill is being debated today in the House of Lords. In the past week or two there has discussion in the media of many of the familiar arguments for and against such a proposal. As Roger Crisp noted in yesterday's post, there have been relatively few new arguments. Supporters of the bill refer to compassion for the terminally ill, the difficulty of adequately relieving suffering, and patients' right to make fundamental choices about the last stage of their lives. Opponents of the bill express their compassion for the terminally ill and those with disabilities, fear about coercion, and the omnipresent slippery slope.
One concern that has been raised about the assisted dying bill is the fear of abuse in the setting of an overstretched public health system. For example, Penny Pepper, writing in the Guardian notes that "Cuts to social care are monstrous…How would the enactment of the Falconer bill work if brought to our harassed NHS?"
What if schizophrenics really are possessed by demons, after all?
Follow Rebecca on Twitter here
Is there anything wrong with seriously entertaining this possibility? Not according to the author of a research article published this month in Journal of Religion and Health. In 'Schizophrenia or possession?',1 M. Kemal Irmak notes that schizophrenia is a devastating chronic mental condition often characterised by auditory hallucinations. Since it is difficult to make sense of these hallucinations, Irmak invites us 'to consider the possibility of a demonic world' (p. 775). Demons, he tells us, are 'intelligent and unseen creatures that occupy a parallel world to that of mankind' (p. 775). They have an 'ability to possess and take over the minds and bodies of humans' (p. 775), in which case '[d]emonic possession can manifest with a range of bizarre behaviors which could be interpreted as a number of different psychotic disorders' (p. 775). The lessons for schizophrenia that Irmak draws from these observations are worth quoting in full:
As seen above, there exist similarities between the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia and demonic possession. Common symptoms in schizophrenia and demonic possession such as hallucinations and delusions may be a result of the fact that demons in the vicinity of the brain may form the symptoms of schizophrenia. Delusions of schizophrenia such as "My feelings and movements are controlled by others in a certain way" and "They put thoughts in my head that are not mine" may be thoughts that stem from the effects of demons on the brain. In schizophrenia, the hallucination may be an auditory input also derived from demons, and the patient may hear these inputs not audible to the observer. The hallucination in schizophrenia may therefore be an illusion—a false interpretation of a real sensory image formed by demons. This input seems to be construed by the patient as "bad things," reflecting the operation of the nervous system on the poorly structured sensory input to form an acceptable percept. On the other hand, auditory hallucinations expressed as voices arguing with one another and talking to the patient in the third person may be a result of the presence of more than one demon in the body. (p. 776)
Irmak concludes that 'it is time for medical professions to consider the possibility of demonic possession in the etiology of schizophrenia' and that 'it would be useful for medical professions to work together with faith healers to define better treatment pathways for schizophrenia' (p. 776).

Murder or mercy?
The newspapers today are full of the horrifying story of three children who were found dead in their family home in South London on Tuesday. The children had all apparently been diagnosed with a severe genetic disorder (spinal muscular atrophy), that was likely to lead to death in early childhood. Their mother has today been charged with their murder.
There are relatively few details available at this stage, and doubtless more will emerge over coming days and months. It would be premature to comment on the specific circumstances of the case (and the family has asked the public and media to refrain from speculation). However, it is likely that as those details do emerge that commentary on the case will take up one of two themes. Some commentators will point to the enormous strain of caring for severely disabled and terminally ill children, and perhaps bemoan the lack of available supportive services. Others (perhaps with disability or with personal experience of caring for the disabled) will react with horror at the idea of a parent killing their child, and reject any attempt to use child disability as a form of excuse for the crime.

The Texan flautist and the fetus
Imagine that when you woke up this morning, you found yourself lying next to an unconscious stranger. The stranger has a rare life-threatening illness, and unbeknownst to you he was plugged in to your organs during the night. You are now stuck to the stranger. If you disconnect the life support he will die. If, though, you remain connected to him for most of the next year his illness will have recovered, and he can safely ben unplugged. What should you do? Are you obliged to stay attached to the stranger? It might be generous of you to give up your body, and good if you choose to do so, but should we require you to remain connected?
If you're female, your face is worth 48-67% more than mine
If you're a young woman, your face is worth between 48-67% more than that of a young man.
That's the gist of the Judicial College's Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases, 12th Edition (2013) – one of the canonical texts used by lawyers.
For 'Very Severe Scarring' 'in relatively young women (typically teens to early 30s), where the cosmetic effect is very disfiguring and the psychological reaction severe', the suggested range of damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity (what lawyers call 'general damages') is £39,160 – £78,650. The corresponding figures for males ('especially in males under 30') are £24,090 – £53,075.
The editors of the Guidelines are embarrassed by the discrepancy. They point out that it arises from 'cases that stretch back into the mists of time', but that it is 'nonetheless open to serious doubt that gender itself can be a proper or indeed lawful factor in determining the level of general damages.' The embarrassment is appropriate. Gender in itself should not be relevant. The Guidelines list the relevant factors: they include 'the subjective impact of the disfigurement upon the claimant and the extent to which it adversely affects the claimant's social, domestic and work lives'.
Should the Guidelines declare that, as a matter of policy, the law should refuse to distinguish between facial scarring in males and in females? That, one might think, is an appropriate way for the law to declare its gender-blindness: it might help to nudge society (which the law leads, as well as reflects) in the right direction. But that would be wrong: the fact is that, whether we like it or not, facial scarring matters more to women. We should do our best to change the attitudes that make this the case, but it is the case, and in compensating claimants, judges should not pretend that we live in a liberal utopia in which people are not judged (by themselves and others) on the basis of the shape or colour of their face. Similarly, when assessing damages for loss of earnings, the law should not pretend that the legislation which prohibits discrimination on grounds of disability actually works.
Thorpe Park's 'Asylum' maze is unrealistic. Does this make it more or less inappropriate?
There has been much discussion this week about whether Thorpe Park's 'Asylum' maze perpetuates the stigma that sometimes surrounds mental illness. The live action horror maze is an attraction that has opened for Halloween for the last eight years. Replete with special effects, its interior is set up to look like the intermittently-lit corridors of a dilapidated hospital. As the maze-goers try to find their way through the corridors, actors dressed as 'patients' jump out, scare and chase them until they find the exit. You can get a sense of the maze here.
Polls have been set up to gauge the public response to the maze and petitions started in an attempt to get Thorpe Park to close it down. Having set up a poll on Twitter, Paul Jenkins, the chief executive officer of the charity Rethink Mental Illness has been quoted as saying 'While of course there's nothing wrong with a bit of Halloween fun, explicit references to 'patients' crosses a line and reinforces damaging stereotypes about mental illness.'

Empire Records is a 1995 American coming-of-age film that follows a group of record store employees over the course of one exceptional day. The employees try to stop the store from being sold to a large chain, and learn about each other along the way. The film was directed by Allan Moyle and stars Anthony LaPaglia, Robin Tunney, Rory Cochrane, Renée Zellweger, Ethan Embry, Johnny Whitworth and Liv Tyler.
Empire Records is a small, independent record shop managed by Joe (Anthony LaPaglia). The store is set in an unnamed city in Delaware, and, like the employees, is eclectic and unique. The staff is very much a self-created family, with Joe as the reluctant and perpetually exasperated but loveable father figure.
The film opens with Joe allowing nighttime manager Lucas (Rory Cochrane) to close the store for his first time. While counting the day's receipts, Lucas discovers that Empire Records is about to be converted into a branch of Music Town, a franchise music store. In an attempt to save the store, Lucas takes the day's cash receipts to a casino in Atlantic City. While initially very lucky, he loses the entire amount in one bet on a dice table. Instead of going home (since he lives with Joe), he sleeps on his motorcycle outside the store, where he is found the following morning by opening manager A.J. (Johnny Whitworth) and fellow employee Mark (Ethan Embry). He confides in the pair about the previous night's events before riding away. Joe arrives to help open the store and is phoned by both the bank and the store owner, Mitchell Beck (Ben Bodé), about the missing deposit.
Joe is distracted from dealing with this immediate crisis due to a scheduled store event: Rex Manning (Maxwell Caulfield), a former 80's pop idol, is due to arrive to sign autographs and promote his new album. No one is really looking forward to "Rex Manning Day", and many of the fans coming in for autographs are either older women or gay men. The employees secretly tease Rex behind his back about his fading career, and even his assistant Jane (Debi Mazar) later reveals her distaste for Rex's music.
Lucas returns after the store opens and Joe confronts him about the missing deposit. After telling him of his short misadventure, Lucas is asked to stay in the store until a plan is devised to return the $9,000. Next to arrive are cashiers Corey (Liv Tyler), an overachieving high school student, and her uninhibited best friend and co-worker Gina (Renée Zellweger), both of whom are told Lucas' secret. Soon thereafter arrive hostile and suicidal employee Deb (Robin Tunney), and boyfriend Berko (Coyote Shivers), who seem to be in the midst of an unresolved lover's quarrel; both are aware of Lucas' secret.
The afternoon continues to spiral downward. A young shoplifter who identifies himself only as Warren Beatty (Brendan Sexton III) is apprehended outside the store by Lucas and arrested. Encouraged by Gina, Corey's school-girl crush on Rex is pushed to its limits—much to the horror of her friends, including A.J., who is infatuated with her. This leads to the revelation that Corey abuses drugs. Gina has sex with Rex Manning, and Rex gets kicked out of the store. Deb takes Corey aside and advises her on the choices she is making. In return, Corey holds a mock funeral for Deb and the whole store attends. Gina then apologizes to Corey. "Warren" returns with a gun and holds up the store. Deb boldly confronts Warren, confusing him and distracting him from his plan, and the rest of the staff persuade Warren into admitting that he only returned because he felt a kinship with the rest of the misfits in the store. Joe offers him a job.
After the police leave, Lucas admits defeat, and suggests calling Mitchell. However, the employees, Joe, and Jane—who has since quit working for Rex—pool their resources to replace the missing money. Despite their best efforts, they are thousands short. Suddenly inspired, Mark runs out of the store, jumps in front of a news crew covering the holdup, and announces a late night benefit party to "Save the Empire". The store opens its doors and sells food, drinks, and other merchandise at discounted prices to try to raise the remaining money. They manage to raise just enough, and they return the money to Mitchell, who in turn offers to sell the store to Joe, admitting he's always hated the place. Joe agrees. Corey meets up with A.J to whom she confesses that she does love him. He tells her he is going to art school in Boston so he can be with her when she goes to Harvard. They then kiss.
In celebration of their win against "the man", the gang ends the night with a dance party on the roof.

The film was severely edited in post-production, removing three significant characters and up to 40 minutes of film. The story was also condensed down from occurring over two days to a single day.
Exteriors were filmed at 15 South Front Street in Wilmington, North Carolina in a bar that had a few feet of space converted into an exact replica of the store set which was located at Carolco (now Screen Gems) studios, and finished out with a large picture of the rest of the store. This allowed the actors to enter the exterior location doors and walk in a couple of feet before the scene would cut to the interior set on Soundstage 4 at the studios. The large mural of Gloria Estefan which Mark kisses early in the film was visible for many years on the separate building, on South Water Street, that stood in for the back of the store.
The Rex Manning music video "Say No More, Mon Amour" was shot prior to principal photography started, and was shot on Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina and shot entirely in one day. It was only intended to be a 17-second dance move piece for the main actors to make fun of in the film. However, the director of the music video shot for the entire day and gave the producers an entire 4:30 music video.[2]
The soundtrack album for Empire Records was originally attached to Atlantic Records an affiliate of Warner Bros. at the time because of Warner Bros. having a distribution pact with the film's producers Regency Enterprises. However the soundtrack album was given to A&M Records in order to obtain the participation of A&M artists the Gin Blossoms[3] whose track "Til I Hear It from You" was issued as lead single: besides the Gin Blossoms four other A&M acts had new tracks released on the Empire Records soundtrack album, namely Ape Hangers, Drill, Innocence Mission, and Lustre.
The Empire Records soundtrack album also introduced tracks by Better Than Ezra, Cracker, the Cranberries, Evan Dando (whose cover of Big Star's "The Ballad of El Goodo" featured Empire Records female lead Liv Tyler on background vocals), and Toad The Wet Sprocket, and by unsigned acts the Martinis, Please, and Coyote Shivers. The Martinis - featuring former Pixies members Joey Santiago and Dave Lovering - were recommended by Hits magazine president Karen Glauber who was musical consultant for Empire Records, while the film's line music supervisor Bob Knickman discovered Please by searching the internet for unsigned talent suitable for the Empire Records soundtrack. Coyote Shivers, who played aspiring musician turned store clerk Berko in the film, became involved in the Empire Records project by virtue of being the stepfather of the film's star Liv Tyler, Shivers being then married to Tyler's mother Bebe Buell.[3]
Two previously released tracks were also included on the original release of the Empire Records soundtrack album, namely "A Girl Like You" by Edwyn Collins and "Ready, Steady, Go" by the Meices [3] (the latter's frontman Joe Reineke subsequently led Alien Crime Syndicate). "The Honeymoon Is Over" by the Cruel Sea, a track heard in the film not featured on the US release of the Empire Records soundtrack album, was included on the Empire Records soundtrack album in its release in Australia and Germany.
The Gin Blossoms' "Til I Hear It From You" charted as high as #9 affording the band their first Top 20 hit. Two other tracks from the Empire Records soundtrack album had a single release: Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You" which charted at #32, and the Ape Hangers' "I Don't Want to Live Today".
The Empire Records soundtrack album peaked at #63 on the album chart.
Gin Blossoms frontman Robin Wilson would say of "Empire Records "[it's] a classic film that only a handful of people really saw, but it definitely made an impact on that generation. It was really cool to have been a part of that".[4]

The version of the song "Sugarhigh" that appears in the movie differs significantly from the one included on the soundtrack. The main differences are that the movie version has additional lyrics and chorus vocals provided by Renée Zellweger and it is musically one semitone lower than the CD version. Francis "Coyote Shivers", the artist who released the song, played the lead singer of the song in the movie.
The movie was written by a former employee of Tower Records store #166 (Christown Mall) in Phoenix, Arizona. When the film was released and for a long time afterward, a number of her former coworkers still working cited anecdotes and other elements of the film that related to the store. This store closed in early 2005, ten years after the film's release.
The film did poorly at the box office and received generally negative reviews. As of June 2013, it has only a 24% "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 21 reviews with the consensus: "Despite a terrific soundtrack and a strong early performance from Renee Zellweger, Empire Records is mostly a silly and predictable teen dramedy."[5]
Roger Ebert called the film a "lost cause," but presciently wrote that some of the actors might have a future in other, better films;[6] LaPaglia, Cochrane, Embry, Zellweger, Tyler and Tunney all went on to achieve significantly greater fame. Despite its poor box office performance, the film has established something of a cult classic status. Even though the majority of professional reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were negative, 84% of users enjoyed the film.
Remix: Special Fan Edition DVD[edit]
On June 3, 2003 Warner Bros. released the Remix: Special Fan Edition DVD of Empire Records. The unrated version includes 4 extra scenes and 16 minutes of additional footage (107 total). The Fan edition also includes the popular music video Rex Manning 'Say No More, Mon Amour' directed for the film by Jordan Dawes.
For the 2015 Blu-ray release from the film's new owner 20th Century Fox, only the theatrical cut has been included, with the extras ported over from the 2003 "Remix! Special Fan Edition" DVD.
"Rex Manning Day" meme[edit]
An Internet meme among the film's fans celebrates "Rex Manning Day" on April 8, the date Rex appears at Empire Records in the film.[7] #RexManningDay is a recurring trending hashtag on Twitter.[8] GIFs commemorating the event show Embry's character bounding down the stairs from the store's loft, declaring "Not on Rex Manning Day!"

After Australia's ABC aired an exposé on 'Prisoner X' on February 12, Israeli media was quick to follow up on the shocking claims that Ben Zygier, an Australian-born Israeli citizen who worked for Mossad, was secretly detained in a maximum-security prison for months before allegedly committing suicide in 2010. However, reports on the scandal were pulled soon after they emerged. The Prime Minister's Office called an urgent meeting of the editors of all major Israeli news outlets to ask for their cooperation in silencing the story. For a whole day, Israeli media were forbidden from reporting on the story, even as it was making headlines worldwide and Israelis disseminated the news in social media and blogs. Only after three leftist members of the Knesset used their parliamentary immunity to speak on the issue did opaque headlines appear, and an Israeli court lifted the gag order.

Also, I have a special circumstance to return the bed before the 45 trial -- which is not a time frame for return but a stringently enforced waiting period for permission to return. My 89 year old Alzheimer suffer mother couldn't stand the noise the bed made, so for 44 days this bed sat in my garage. I wonder if I would have also had to wait if she died within the 45 day before allowed to return the bed.
Be aware the price of the bed is negotiable. When I called to return it, I was told I could choose to take a discount on the original purchase price rather than send it back. AND they also had the gall to suggest I sell it on ebay rather than ship it back.
Buy at your own rick AND don't believe a word they say.

I just wanted to see if anyone is still working full time. My due date is 9/11 although they are talking of inducing me the end of this month. I am still working full time and starting to get really exhausted. I am typing up a letter today requesting to go on part time work the 24 but I'm a little anxious about asking. I will be at 38 weeks on the 28th. Just wondering if anyone is still having to work full time and getting really tired of it?
Still working full time?
I am still working full time and don't plan to make any changes to my schedule. I only get 12 weeks off and I'd like to spend that time with the LO. I have 7 weeks to go so obviously I may feel differently as I get farther along.
I have an extremely short commute to work so that is not an issue and I'd probably be doing the same thing if I were home: sitting in front of the computer (or TV) and making less money doing it-HA
My friend went a week past her due date and decided to stop working on her due date but reconsidered and actually wished she had stayed working bc she literally sat at home watching the clock for that week...
BUT of course, if you are physically feeling pain or discomfort, and you are able to take the time, I'd say by all means go for it! And your employer will understand, I'm sure!

Well, I too am still working a full time job. I'm due on the 15th but will be induced a week early. Possibly a scheduled c-section at week 38 so who knows???? I only have 5 weeks left total and I'm working all the way up until it's time to bring her outta me I need the money. I do agree that it is getting extremely stressful and tiring coming to work but it's only down the street from me. I'm a bank teller and it's not that bad I guess. I wish I had all the PTO I needed tho becuz I would definitely be at home right now.

Working full time until she makes her appearance! I want all of the time off after she is here... It would be nice to have 1-2 days off to get things done at home, but unfortunately I'm covering for someone else that is on maternity leave, so things are too busy to take time off! I wish I could work from home though... my feet stay SO swollen, and there is no way to prop them up in my office.
Yes I'm working and hating every minute of it. You would think sitting all day would be easy (8-9 hrs) but it SOOOO is not....my lower back and butt are killing me.... and my concentration is just no where near 100% ..oh well....I'm working at least till my due date of 9/15 unless she comes early!

I'm still working full time as well and it's not too bad. It keeps my mind off of other things like my rash. I only get to use any unused vacation and sick time that I have accrued which will be a little over 3 weeks. I'm taking 5 weeks off so I'm working as much as I can. I'm being induced 2 weeks early due to my PUPPP's (pregnancy rash). I'm on steroids and some other medicines to help it but still no relief. The only cure is delivery. I'll be 38 weeks 2 days when I get induced. Even if I wasn't getting induced I would have worked right up until I went into labor.

I am also due 9/11 (doc told me 9/12 but all the paperwork says 9/11 - I think she didn't want to tell me 9/11!!). Anyway, yes - still working full time. Just started training a temp today who will be taking over while I'm gone. It is getting tough just getting around so I'm not sure how I'll be if I go full term. I'm going to stay at work as long as I can though unless the doc puts me on bedrest for some reason. I'll only get a total of 9 weeks off (6 paid, 3 vacation time), so I don't want to use any of it beforehand if I can help it! Good luck to you all - this will all be over before we know it and we'll have our little ones with us - I can't wait!!!

It may be a little easier if we took breaks but no one takes lunch breaks or breaks.My breaks are bathroom breaks. But honestly just getting tired of everyone asking/telling me to take of work b/c I don't need to be on my feet in a kitchen all day.
Yes, I am still working full time and it is getting to be very draining. Getting up in the mornings is more and more challenging these days!! I'm due on the 13th.....
First time mommy to Brooklyn Danae Griffith!!
Still working full time, and I still spend time every day staring at the calendar and counting down the days! I am going to go to part-time hours starting the Monday before my due date (Sept 14), but not take any time off until after she's born. I hope she doesn't go too overdue - my heart is set on just 5 more weeks of work!

I am planning to work at my FT job until I go into labor as hubby is still out of work. I am due Sept. 16 according to docs now. Besides being uncomfortable and too hot, not too many complaints. I do wish I had the time to get stuff ready for Baby though!

what, you don't think she should practice on the frog? there's princes in those things
What's funny is that I never actually dissected a frog. Cut off the heads of some fish to send to the lab (by FedX so the DNA wouldn't get screwed up by the X-rays), but never had to use any of those particular "skills" taught in bio… Lots of photos, lots of legal descriptions of specimens, even some drawings.
Well, Levi, it seems Evans has taken pity on you, and granted thy fervent prayer.
Perhaps you should stop pestering the poor guy now.
That's it? You finally see your girl and still you complain? Go soak your head.
Dissected the frog and several other things in my junior year. Sure helped out in my field of communications technology and industrial electronics, indispensable in getting my FCC ticket…
In high school, they give you pickled frogs to dissect. In college bio, they give you live frogs and make you pith them. Guess how many frogs I've pithed in the last 40 years. Pith on it.
A Sunday one shot is hardly a story line during the week now is it? I like Bernice too but she just can't carry the story it seems from Greg's point-of-view.
Those questions should be addressed in Health class.
There is a certain irony in dissecting this strip and sorting out its components. For reasons way too complicated to explain here, I didn't take biology in high school: so I dissected a frog as a freshman in college. As I recall, we enjoyed our water pistol fights with the professor (who wrote the then-widely used textbook).
I dissected a rat in high school. Suffice it to say, I don't know why any female rat would ever bother to be impregnated.
Whatever happened to "Zane", remember Bernice's
love interest? He left to go to school but where
is he now? They had such a good story line..believe
that was 2003.
when i went to school they didn't give us goggles and gloves to dissect the stupid frog!
In college zoology we dissected an animal from each phylum. It was interesting to see the similarities.BTW I think the reason Bernice and Delta don't get much strip time these days is that they are not very well developed characters. Bernice exists to react to what is going on around her and has no motivations of her own.Delta is PSA girl. She exists to encourage the girls towards socially redeeming events which lazy Luann wouldn't go to on her own. When the strip mostly had lazy Luann complaining about her life you need someone like that to make it so people don't hate your character. When Evans started having story arcs instead of one day strips she became less important.
Ah. THERE'S Your PROBLEM. Lu.
You are concerned about Your Actions WHEN You kiss a Guy when You SHOULD be concerned about Your Reactions AFTER You Kiss a Guy.
Like the times You Kissed Gunther and went TOTALLY Googly Eyed each Time; something You NEVER did with Mr. Ozball…..,
For Bernice, dissecting a frog would be a useful life skill. She wants to be a veterinarian. She needs to be ready in case Kermit ever comes in as a patient

The sample was suppose to come from Visage Dermatologic Laboratories. I do not know if this "Hyla Cass" even exists.
I seen numerous complaints on their Facebook Wall from people asking where the sample was that they were suppose to get the week after they made their post. Visage kept deleting all of the posts and now they closed their Wall down to comments from Facebookers or at least me and some other people who called them out on their bull.
What is the rip-off here? After signing up for their sample I got blasted with tons of advertising from other companies. It is my belief that they are selling the data they got from everyone who filled out the form. Or the email came from one of their affiliates who gets paid for leads. Who knows, because what legit company asks customers to lie and say they got something when they didn't, just to get something before other people? They can take the sample and stick it.
If you look on their Facebook Wall you can see where around April 28th, they changed the post to "I just ordered" instead of "I received." It was around that time that I asked them on their Wall why they were telling people to lie about getting the sample.
Your Visage Instant Lift 90 Second Wrinkle Reducer f.r.e.e sample is on the way, but I only made 5,000 samples and 15,000 responded in the last few days.
Would you kindly do post this simple message on your Facebook account?
Click here to see the short message you can copy and paste.
And if you do, I'll put you at the head of the line and send you out the samples I have NOW rather than waiting 7 - 8 weeks for the next batch to be made up (they use a lot of costly ingredients and the chief scientist is very demanding and won't be rushed, and I don't blame him.)
If you do what I'm asking, I'll RUSH you your sample.
Either way I'll get you your sample, but this way will make it so it will be in your hands next week instead of waiting 7-8 weeks.

Anyway I went ahead and booked the car and also 2 hotel rooms in my destinations for the 3 day vacation. The day before our journey I went over to the location and was straight off asked where I was going, and like an honest bloke I said such and such place. I was immediately nailed with the then sir, unlimited miles does not apply.' I was reeling. Should I cancel and get another car? Should I try to negotiate? It was too late to cancel my vacation. This was the classic bait and switch.
I left the place and sat in the lobby to think for a bit; it's interesting that when I dropped of the car later I saw 2 fellows cancel their reservation on the spot. Anyway it was too late so I went ahead and got the car, and begged them to lower my over distance fees. I hate getting surprised like this. I hate losing control over my destiny, and being at the mercy of others. Anyway through their infinite magnificent grace and mercy they decided to extend by daily km allowance out of province and to reduce my charge per over km. Nonetheless when I brought the car back I was hit with a huge excess charge. Of course the smart fellow behind the counter blamed it on me, saying it was my fault I did not read the fine print. How convenient. I wonder how the credit card companies like it now, in North America, that the governments are forcing them to vomit the sneaky fine print out into bold letters in boxes above the sign here line.
I wanted to be a bit of a smarta** so I asked the guy, what if I lied and said I would drive around aimlessly inside Quebec. He said, well sir we will check this on the audit of the contract, with the satellite location finder records showing you left Quebec, and we will then hold you in infraction of the contract. So don't try that honesty is the best policy always. By honesty I mean the complete truth, not part of it.
By the way this geographic limitation is quite bizarre. I only see this in Quebec only with Payless of course. I used to live in Boston for 10 years and regularly rented cars there for unlimited mileage and I never saw any geographic restrictions. I looked around other rental agencies and I think unlimited only applies to Canada, and entering the USA is altogether another aspect. These is in general a cautionary tale call ahead and confirm that the unlimited miles means what it says; calls the agent you used [online or otherwise] and the rental firm. Finally get it in writing that it is indeed unlimited.
Conclusion Payless' means Getless', and you end up paying the same as others, through tricks and games and deception.

Book of Judges
Book of Judges Chapter 8 Summary
Gideon Ushers In A Golden Age
- Gideon's army continues to pursue the fleeing Midianites, led by their kings Zebah and Zalmunna.
- They pass through the towns of Succoth and Penuel, and both refuse to give food to Gideon's army. This is rude, and Gideon promises he'll make them pay when he's done with Zebah and Zalmunna.
- His army defeats Midian and captures Z&Z.
- On their way back, Gideon captures a young man from Succoth, who identifies the elders and princes of the city that were so inhospitable before.
- Gideon beats them with thorns and briars. That'll teach them!
- He also returns to Penuel and breaks down their tower and kills the men of the city. Seriously—don't mess with Gideon.
- While interrogating Z&Z, Gideon finds out that they killed his brethren in Tabor. Their life expectancy suddenly plummets dramatically.
- Gideon tells his oldest son, Jether, to kill these fools. Jether is still just a boy, though, and he doesn't want to.
- Z&Z say, "You know what, Gid? Why don't you do the honors? You're stronger anyway" (see KJV 8:21).
- So he does, and he takes the ornaments from their camels' necks because, hey, free camel jewelry.
- Israel asks Gideon to be their king, and his sons after him, because he's delivered them from Midian.
- Gideon refuses, and tells them that the Lord will be their king.
- He asks his men to give him all of the gold they've captured from the Midianites, which they willingly do.
- With all that gold, Gideon makes an ephod, which is basically the ultimate in high-priestly bling.
- However, scholars think there must have been tons of gold left over after that, and Gideon may have made a golden monument, too, which Israel would later worship.
- After this, Israel enjoyed peace for—yup, you guessed it—40 years.
- Those years were good to Gideon. He had many wives and concubines, who gave him 70-some-odd sons, including Abimelech (more on him later).
- Gideon "died in a good old age, and was buried" (KJV 8:32). You know what that means…
- It's time for Israel to forget about God again. Heck—after he dies—they're not even very nice to Gideon's family anymore. The Israelites are pretty big on the whole out-of-sight-out-of-mind way of doing things.
