|SaddleSore 2000 Rules
Version No. 1.0
|Date last revised: March 23, 2008
SaddleSore 2000 Application© 2000, Iron Butt Association, Chicago, Illinois
SaddleSore 2000 Application may be reproduced and distributed as needed for personal or club use.
The SaddleSore 2000 is simply 2,000 or more miles in 48 hours. For the history of the SaddleSore series of rides, you should carefully read and become familiar with the SaddleSore 1000 rules and history of the ride.
The SaddleSore 2000 Rules
The rules are identical to those of a SaddleSore 1000, except the mileage requirement is at least 2,000 miles in 48 hours.
You may elect to ride more miles in either time period, so long as the total of the 48 hours is greater then 2,000 miles. So if your personal rythme means you would rather ride 1,050 miles on day one and then take an extended motel stop, well into the second bank of hours, you would have to complete the remaining 950 miles by the end of 48 hours.
You have several options to bail out on this ride. The documents needed are the same as a SaddleSore 1000 and Bun Burner 1500, so if you cannot complete the 2000, you may still have made the 1,500 in 36 hours or 1,000 in 24 hour rides.
If you have any questions about this ride, you may write to the Iron Butt Butt Association, P.O. Box 9450, Naperville, IL 60567-9450 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I think my back is dying.
I have been having some really really terrible back pain lately and I need to know roughly what it might be and what kind of doctor person I should see about it and what I can do in the meantime so that I don't end up defenestrating myself in order to escape it. [more inside]
Help me help my SO relax her neck and back
My SO's back and neck seem to be permanently tied in knots. She doesn't seem like a tense person, but her muscles indicate otherwise. I can massage her for a while, but it only does so much for her. Can anyone give me suggestions to help her relax her back and neck? [more inside]
Please help me get back in the saddle!
Where should I start - a chiropractor, a sports massage, an orthopedist, acupuncture or what? [more inside]
Help find an Angeleno to massage my back!
Have a slightly fickle lower back after a car wreck (have had phys therapy etc) and tweaked it moving furniture this weekend. Does anyone have a good massage therapist in the Downtown Los Angeles or East Hollywood area that specializes in massaging that kind of issue?
Lookin' for upper back heat
Does anyone know of a back cushion that heats the entire back rather than just the lower back? [more inside]
What is walking on someone's back called?
I looove it when my girlfriend walks on my back - nothing gets out those big knots like a well-placed heel. Is there a name for this? Any suggestions on improving/refining the technique? Any dangers, providing she doesn't step right on my spine?

The MLB trade deadline is a little over a month away, and although the trade market is taking shape with each passing day, the rumor mill has been relatively slow as far as where some of the top names could potentially land.
A number of contending teams have clear-cut needs moving forward if they hope to make a serious postseason push, and while some players appear to be perfect fits, it isn't always in the cards.
So here is a look at eight deals that should happen for the sake of both sides that would be involved, but won't happen for one reason or another.

As far back as he can remember James Corden has only ever wanted to be in one place: in front of you, doing something to make you laugh, cry, shout, or giggle uncontrollably. At the age of 4, he grandstanded throughout his baby sister's christening, standing on a chair in front of the whole congregation, pulling faces and cracking everyone up. Despite himself, the vicar was impressed. And from then on he couldn't get enough of the spotlight, even when it always seemed to avoid him. Throughout his teens, he and his Dad trudged up and down towards London, getting closer and closer to landing a gig, only to be told 'No' at the last stage. But he never gave up and soon found his whole life turned upside down and inside out by his experience as one Alan Bennett's History Boys. From that moment forth, he's never looked back.
May I Have Your Attention Please? is the warm, cheeky, surprisingly honest and hilarious story of one of our most popular comedy talents. From his antics as one of the founding players of his high-school's first ever rugby team to gaining recognition in the West End, to nationwide fame as the loveably loud Smithy in the award-winning Gavin and Stacey, this is a tenderly told story of what it's like to try, try and try again and - happily - get there in the end.
©2011 James Corden (P)2011 Random House Audiobooks
"Absolutely brilliant"
I really only knew James Corden from presenting the Late Late Show, I knew he was funny and thought this book might be interesting... I was wrong it was fantastic!
Not only does James have an incredible reading voice (I believe he could read the telephone directory and make it interesting... If we had them anymore).
He is honest throughout the book and you truly feel as though you have gone on this incredible journey with him.
I'm now watching everything he has ever done and falling more in love with him with each passing moment.
I recommend this book to James's fans... You will adore this...And to people like myself who have only just discovered him... You will become an instant fan!
I didn't want the book to end, thank you James.
"More or less?"
I thought he would go into The Late Late Show & how that perspired but I guess this book was made prior to that. I should have paid attention. It was okay. Some chapters heavily detailed about how he got or didn't get certain auditions. It was to show nothing came easy but some chapters could have been shortened. Also, he uses a lot of British lingo and nothing was explained (cities, towns, names of objects or whatnot). I thought that wasn't fair to American crowd who would be reading it. There were 2 Laugh Out Loud parts. The rest was entertaining.
"Great Backstory of a Fun Talkshow Host"
I lived in England for a bit, so I "knew" James from various TV programs. I didn't know about his history in theater. He is a true inspiration for people who have ever been told they don't look "right". I'm glad I got to know him better through this book.
That said... I got the Audible version, and his voice drove me nuts. There is a British habit in customer service to speak in a soft, high pitched voice when working with customers. In America this would be reserved for children and dogs. He uses this voice all through the book. Soft, slightly high pitched, often ending on a high note (like a potential question. ) It is my lone complaint. He's a cool dude, and I would love to buy another work of his in the future.
"I Love James, so I am dissapointed"
Oddly enough, the narrator. I love boigraphies read by the author and I find James timing impecable and hillarious, usually. Is not the case with this book. He reads in a monotone, matter-of-fact way the detracts from what should be funny anecdotes.
Wildflower, by Drew Barrymore. Because is meant to be a fun, entertaining biography of a very likable spontaneus person, read by someone who, you'd think, would know how to narrate their own story and it dissapoints on both counts :narrator and story.
James shoud learn things by heart before he "says them out loud". You can feel he is "reading" the book because is missing his usual spontaneity and timing .
Sadly no, and I love James.
I know James sees himslef as a "musical actor" ( even more so now he has told me about 100 times on this book) but the truth is people see him as comedian and host. His biography being about how "serious" he always was , about performing and being musicly inclined, from early childhood, with very little funny parts, is not exactly what I was expecting.
"Charming, honest, and insightful"
I know what books I would not compare it to. I was expecting a book in the vein of the humorous memoirs/autobiographies of Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, etc. However, this book was much more serious, thoughtful, and autobiographical, which was refreshing. James Corden provides a complete narrative of this point in his life, messes and all. I only hope that he adds a few chapters or writes another book in light of his increasing fame.
"What a great book!"
Learnt so much more about him and life in general. I am definitely recommend it!
"Didn't know him from a bar of soap now a fan"
funny insightful honest
James Corden reads with such emotion it feels like the first time he has talked about his life and feelings raw, funny, embarrassing, self satisfying yet humble and down to earth really surprised by how good it was
the chapters, liked the recommended to accompany at the start of each
James Corden is James Corden The guy off the telly!!
good book better than i was expecting
"Funny, sweet, and honest"
As an American, whose only exposure to Mr. Corden was his appearance in Doctor Who and now his late show, this book was fascinating and entertaining.
I just felt like I met a new best friend and he was telling me interesting stories of his life. I absolutely loved it!
"Honest, funny and well written"
If you are a fan of Carpool Karaoke then you already know James is original and funny. This books takes you on a journey of how he became that funny guy as well as a Broadway actor. So much more to his talents then singing.
"Narration declination"
I love James Corden from his many shows especially Fat Friends. This is a frank and open autobiography of his early life looking for purpose until his eventual acceptance into the world of theatre and films. An slightly enjoyable listen until around half way. Gradually but perceptibly the tone of narration becomes rhythmic to the point of annoyance until around the second half it becomes almost unbearable. I've never heard an author do this before, and I've listened to many on Audible. Every sentence from thereafter starts in monotone and ends in a slight increase in pitch followed by an almost sigh at the end. Forgivable for one or two odd sentences but almost the entire second half of the reading is like this. It ends up really grating. Coupled with the less frequent funny stories (and there aren't many funny stories in this book, even Corden himself freely admits he is no comedian) makes this a rather depressing and excruciating listen towards the end. If Corden had a more interesting life to fill with interesting stories ( eating coco pops in his pants lets face it isn't that interesting or funny ) and a better narration style then I would be more enthusiastic about this book. I would recommend instead many more laugh out loud books -Jason Manford, Jack Dee, and Michael McIntyre. Im sure James in his own painfully and embarrassing self loathing way would agree.
"Funny But"
A very funny read James Corden tells his story so far in his own humorous way but I found the book a bit of a struggle towards the end and a bit boring
"A little disappointing."
A little disappointing, but you feel compelled to keep on listening after paying for it. Some parts of his life were interesting, but he really paints a picture of himself being a bit lad'ish or as a funny man and not an actor/writer/comic etc.
The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins
It's always good to have the Author red the book.
"Self Indulgent but funny in places"
Best: His funny anecdotes
Least: The fact that everyone he name-drops, he idolizes to a sickening degree.
It appeared very self indulgent. A book he will, I think, regret writing.
Not particularly. James' narration was, at times, exhausting. He always appears to be running out of breath!
No, not at all.
"Axe grinding"
I had a lot of time for this actor but his bitter rant about one of his teachers (who was named by the way) made him seem like a petulant child. Superficially written, it seemed to be a cash cow. Real pity as I loved Gavin and Stacey
When he talks of his time at the National Theatre and working with Mike Leigh
Not much
I would edit his sulky description of his education
"Pleasantly surprised - an excellent autobiography"
This is one of the better autobiographies I have listened to - with a lively pace. Honest and amusing life story.
The author is very honest and amusing - he reads his book very well.
I have enjoyed James Corden in Gavin & Stacy on TV - to my shame, I didn't realise (until reading this book) that he was the co-writer of that series, which I enjoyed a great deal.
It is lighthearted but always honest, genuine and interesting.
Would recommend to anyone.
"Absolutely EXCELLENT ***"
James does not disappoint in this WONDERFUL piece of work. He writes from his heart narrating his story with real warmth and whilst listening I felt he was reading just to me. I listened avidly to his exploits at school, his early adventures securing parts in the plays or films. It was hysterically funny in places and brought tears to my eyes in others. James takes time to describe the characters he has encountered throughout the book he acknowledges all those who have made an impression upon him. I learned a lot about the ways of a thespian and I discovered a side to his personality I had not previously seen. He is not just a very clever very funny man able to hold an audience in the palm of his hand, he is humble , a serious family man warm and loveable. He is keen to please, rather like a labrador puppy who keeps coming back for more opportunities to play. Well done Mr Corden , you certainly had my attention for the whole book. This is an excellent book, buy the download you will not be disapointed.
"Great listen as narrated by James.Funny, sincere"
Great listen as narrated by James. Funny, sincere and heartwarming. Want a follow up now!
"loved it"
really good book into the life of MrCorden, his experiences. Genuinly was sad when it finished/
really interesting
his own humour
"Good listen"
Second half was better than the first half.as a big fan of gavin and Stacey I thought I'd give it a go . First half didn't really interest me but was easy to listen to,the second half about the work and James we know was really good especially the comic relief sketch with the England team. Was hoping to find out about his fall out with Matt Horne but this must be been pre argument . Well worth a listen to seems like a great guy and honest

I'm not big on the whole 3D scene. Trying to fit awkward glasses over my regular ones isn't exactly comfortable. Likewise, virtual reality is something I'm not too keen on (two words: Virtual Boy).
But this, I like.
The pCubee (yes, that'Äôs 'ÄúPEE-kyoo-bee'Äù) is a new spin on an…uh…'Äôold classic'Äô. By utilizing five LCD screens strapped to a plastic cube and sensors worn on the head (think of your Wii, but backwards), the pCubee displays an interactive 3D diorama 'Äòinside'Äô the cube. The University of British Columbia, whose team designed this thing, are calling it FTVR, for Fish Tank Virtual Reality.'Ä®'Ä® Cute.
Screw 3DTV, can you imagine having one of these as a 46-inch obelisk in the middle of your living room? Perhaps playing, like, a UFC fight on the inside? I hope we see more of this technology, because it's totally rad.

Sharp LC-70LE735X LED TV
Sharp's huge 70in LED TV has great picture quality
- Good price
- Huge screen size
- Good picture quality
- Almost no extra features
- Only 100Hz
- No local dimming
Bottom Line
Sharp's massive 70in LC-70LE735X makes for a great cinema experience paired up with a Full HD Blu-ray movie. It's a high quality panel with good LED backlighting (with no local dimming, though) and can be easily adjusted to suit a bright or dark room. Extra features like video-on-demand are sparse, but if you've got a new Blu-ray player this won't be a hindrance.
Price$ 4,799.00 (AUD)
The Sharp LC-70LE735X may be the second best model in Sharp's 2011-12 LED TV line-up, but it has the distinction of being the largest screen that the company makes. It's also the biggest TV available in Australia — at 70in it's 5in larger than the second-placed 65in Panasonic VT50 (set to be released in June for $5999).
Sharp LC-70LE735X: Design, setup, and specifications
The Sharp LC-70LE735X is big. Think about it this way: a 'big-screen' 55in TV has a screen that's less than two-thirds of the size of the LE735X's 70in. The TV measures 1613mm wide and 1008mm tall, but impressively is only 89mm thick at its bulkiest point.
You'll need a wide entertainment unit to accomodate the Sharp LE735X, or a wide wall on which to mount it. Similarly, we think the optimum viewing distance for a 70in screen is about 4.5m away — 175in, or two and a half times the diagonal screen size — so you'll need a large living room.
The bezel of the LC-70LE735X is around 4cm thick on the top and sides, and about 9cm on the lower edge, which hides two 10W speakers. This might seem thick compared to the wafer-thin 5mm of the LG 55LM9600, but since the LE735X's screen is so large it's not noticeable or distracting.
The Sharp LC-70LE735X is finished in Sharp's usual businesslike dark grey plastic along the lower edge, but the rest of the bezel is a low-gloss black. Sharp's styling hasn't really evolved significantly since the days of the AQUOS D53X in 2008, but we definitely don't think the LE735X is ugly; the TV is simple and quietly attractive.
Sharp doesn't sell a wall mount that's compatible with the LC-70LE735X, but you can pick up a third-party alternative for as little as $20.
The Sharp LC-70LE735X is surprisingly easy to set up. The stand is no-nonsense and only requires eight screws to hook up. You'll need to have a buddy on hand to help you lift the TV into place, though: the LE735X is a solid 42.5kg with the stand attached.
The LE735X has a range of connections that are pretty standard for 2012. There's four HDMI inputs, wired Ethernet, VGA, one component and two composite A/V groups, and finally three USB ports for playing media files (picture, audio and video files including JPEG, MP3, MKV, MP4) or for connecting an optional Wi-Fi adapter.
Sharp LC-70LE735X: Performance and picture quality
The Sharp LC-70LE735X's 70in screen is a Full HD 1080p LCD, backlit by a full array of LEDs. This setup is the best approach currently available to lighting an LCD panel, although the LE735X doesn't use the local dimming feature available in the premium LE835X.
The lack of local dimming holds the LE735X back from displaying super-bright whites alongside super-dark black areas, but the TV is still able to display good contrast in difficult scenes. The screen's automatic brightness adjustment (darkening the screen when the scene you're watching is dark, and boosting brightness in bright scenes) works well with a huge range of adjustment — the range of adjustment can even be adjusted — and its tendency to keep the screen slightly dark rather than slightly bright provides impressively deep black levels.
Whites aren't as impressive due to no localised brightness boosting — they're definitely not bad, just not as punchy as on a calibrated plasma or local-dimming LED — but colour performance is generally good. Sharp's yellow fourth sub-pixel, which the company calls Quattron technology, doesn't really do a great deal to change the colour qualities of the TV, apart from providing a boost to gold and yellow areas once the Quad Pixel Plus mode is activated. The Sharp LC-70LE735X tends towards accurate, slightly muted colours rather than punchy and over-saturated tones — this look is our preference due to the extra detail visible in high quality video.
We chose the Movie preset as the best mode in our darkened testing setting, but Standard makes a good compromise for lighter rooms. The settings are able to be tweaked with a wide range of values, including individual hue and saturation for each colour. Film drive modes including 24p support mean that the LC-70LE735X handles DVD, Blu-ray or compressed video content at appropriate frame rates.
Sharp's 100Hz Fine Motion Advanced motion interpolation feature has been around for several years now, and it's included on the LC-70LE735X. It's one of the better 100Hz modes we've seen, and although 200Hz or higher can look smoother and more pleasing we're still happy with the motion performance of the LE735X. We were able to make the TV stumble on wide panning shots in Planet Earth on Blu-ray where it introduced some flickering, but it handled the fast motion of The Dark Knight's fight scenes and a Formula 1 race broadcast on One HD without any apparent problems. The LE735X should do a good job with all but the most demanding videos.
On our test unit, the LED backlight of the Sharp LE735X was almost perfectly uniform. We noticed a very minor dim area in the centre of the screen, but we were only able to see this after displaying an entirely black background at maximum brightness in a completely darkened room. It wouldn't be noticeable during any kind of regular day-to-day viewing, and we are inclined to think that it's a variation with our sample.
Unlike the higher-end LE835X, the Sharp LC-70LE735X doesn't support 3D. We're not bothered by this — frankly, it's nice to see a good TV that doesn't include 3D support as a selling feature — but it may turn off some buyers, especially those who are looking for 3D in as large a screen size as possible.
Sharp LC-70LE735X: Sound quality and extra features
The speakers of the Sharp LC-70LE735X are acceptably good but not great. We were impressed by the stereo setup of the LG LM9600, which uses five speakers and a subwoofer, but the Sharp LE735X makes do with two speakers with 10 Watts of power each. There are various audio tweaks like a virtual surround mode, Clear Voice and bass enhancer, but we were happy with just raising treble and bass on the two-point equaliser.
The LE735X uses its USB ports to play movies, photos or audio from flash drives or USB HDDs, but an optional Wi-Fi adapter (or the built-in Ethernet) connects the TV to the Internet. Web features are minimal with a Web browser and YouTube access the stand-outs, so if you want video on demand you'd be best off pairing the Sharp LE735X with a capable Blu-ray player from a video-on-demand-friendly company like Samsung or LG.
You can also use the USB for time-shifting live TV, but we weren't able to record programs for later viewing.
Sharp LC-70LE735X: Conclusion
Sharp's huge-screen LE735X is impressive when it comes to picture quality — and really, that's what matters for a TV. We think it could have been better with the addition of local dimming but it does a good job nonetheless. Extra features are light on the ground but these can be augmented by buying a Web-ready Blu-ray player.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

What better time than Thanksgiving... for a Food Fest?
In what is sure to become a Thanksgiving tradition, Origin Energy will be hosting a first ever Food Fest this coming Friday and Saturday at the Origin Compound in the Tafuna Industrial Park for residents and visitors alike.
Called simply, 'The Taste of Samoa' this festival is loaded with great recipes, prizes, entertainment - and for the finale, a competition among the best chefs in the territory.
It's a great fundraising event, not only for our athletes going to Australia, but also for any group that wishes to participate.
It's free to enter and it's free to attend.
The main event of the Food Fest will be a contest that will have prizes awarded for each of the following categories - best local dish, best dessert dish, best tuna dish, best BBQ dish, best ethnic/international dish, and best Thanksgiving Leftover dish. Some of the prizes include gas grills, stoves, hotel stays and certificates for free dinners, according to Origin Energy Sales and Marketing Manager, Ethan Lake.
"What we are looking for this Friday and Saturday is what we are calling the 'Taste of Samoa'... and for our first ever food festival, we thought we would celebrate healthy food and healthy living," said Lake.
"What we have noticed throughout the years, is that there are a lot of good dishes out there and what better time to do this, than right now, during Thanksgiving time. If they bring some of these different foods down to our Origin Compound on Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. they can enter their dishes into the contest. We would like to know who has the best dish out there."
"This would also be a great time to bring the family out and judge some of the great dishes that some of the local people have to offer. We were fortunate enough to have the top chefs on island, who agreed to come out and judge these great dishes. We have Chef Sualua from the American Samoa Culinary Academy, Chef Jason from the Equator at the Tradewinds Hotel and Chef Charles from Sadies.
The public has the opportunity to be a judge of these dishes as well. They will have a chance to purchase small amounts of the food to be judged and mark on their 'judge sheet' their score for each dish they sampled - and they (the people) will be the ones judging for the 'Peoples Choice Award,' the award given along with awards from the judges."
The proceeds collected will be going towards helping to send local athletes to Australia for athletic competition.
"I encourage everyone to come on out on Friday, with their best dishes. Please bring enough for each judge to sample along with the people who will be judging as well. But let us know before Friday."
On Saturday, farmers are encouraged to come out and bring their biggest produce, because "we will be having a competition for them as well, for largest pumpkin/squash, biggest cucumber, biggest taro and largest banana bunch and whatever else you have that is an exceptionally large fruit or vegetable, with prizes for these, too!"
Lake continued, "Remember, all of this is 'FREE' to join. If any food vendor would like to come out to sell food for a fundraiser or for anything else, come on out. We are also inviting non-food vendors as well to come on out and set up. But please let me know before this coming Friday if you are coming, by calling 699-9749, 770-1006, or contact me by email at, firstname.lastname@example.com," he said
There will be cooking demonstrations done by the American Samoa Culinary Academy and cooking demonstrations by the chefs/judges. There will also be entertainment and a jumping castle for kids. On Saturday, the chefs/judges will also be having a 'Top Chef Showdown,' with each chef preparing a full course meal within one hour on a NATEC's 2 burner mini oven.
Entries will also be taken on Saturday morning for anyone wishing to enter the coconut husking competition and the coconut grating competition, with prizes given away for the champion of each competition.
There will also be a sale of up to 20% off on Origin items. Tickets for the upcoming Tevaka concert and the upcoming Mixed Martial Arts fight will also be on sale on both Friday and Saturday at the event.

There are many routes into learning mindfulness.
A number of factors will influence which you choose: whether you suffer from recurrent depression, stress and anxiety, or if you just want to improve your general well-being or if your long-term intention is to be able to teach MBCT. And of course, it will also depend on where you live.
Our courses
The NHS Course
At the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, we provide programmes specifically designed for people with depression and/or anxiety disorders who are referred by their doctor. For more about these programmes read on…
Our Public Programme
We also run a programme for the public where anyone can learn mindfulness. If you would like to know more about this read on…
Our Public Mindfulness-Based Childbirth & Parenting Programme
We also run a programme for the public where couples can learn mindfulness in an antenatal class. If you would like to know more about this read on…
Our teachers
All teachers who teach MBCT courses at the OMC are fully trained and certified competent to teach MBCT. They adhere to the Good Practice Guidelines
We have also trained a large number of MBCT teachers, who teach in various settings around the UK, to competency. They have received the OMC 'Certificates of Competence to teach MBCT'.
Many other teachers around the UK offer Mindfulness courses. If someone has trained at the OMC they should either show their 'Certificate of Competence to teach MBCT' or if they have done only a workshop or shorter training this should be clearly indicated.
Not able to get to us?
We recommend that you seek an 8-week programme locally. In the UK the Mental Health Foundation website www.bemindful.co.uk has an interactive map of courses throughout the UK. Be sure that your mindfulness teacher subscribes to the Good Practice Guidelines.
Mindfulness in other contexts
We support projects to bring mindfulness to schools, to expectant parents preparing for the birth of their baby, and offer a training programme for those wishing to learn mindfulness in the workplace.

text: Hi Folks, As I recently found out I am pregnant I have decided to give the diving a miss this season. (There is lots of information out there to say that diving during during pregnancy is not recommended.) However, I can't find anything about snorkelling. Is it safe to snorkel/ duckdive/ wear a weightbelt while pregnant? (As I am in temperate waters I need to wear a thick exposure suit, hence the weight belt!) The medical people I have asked are not divers, and don't seem to know. However, they do encourage swimming, but discourage going out on powerboats :shakehead Will I have to stay landlocked all summer? Scubachick67

WASSCE / WAEC Biology past questions and answers Free Download PDF
Download complete and up-to-date WASSCE / WAEC Biology past questions and answers. Are you writing WASSCE this year? Is Biology on your core course? If yes, make sure you have WAEC Past Questions and Answers on Biology along other list of books that you are reading for the exam.
The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is a type of standardized test taken in West Africa, mostly by students who wish to proceed to the higher institution. It is administered by the West African Examination Council (WAEC). It is only offered to candidates residing in Anglophone West African countries namely: Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Note: The contents in each WASSCE (WAEC) Biology question paper is usually the same from one anglophone country to another. Some questions may be specified to be answered by candidates from a particular country and this happens mostly in the theory section.
A WASSCE question paper on a particular subject maybe entirely cancelled and changed in a region when the West African Examination Council (WAEC) heading that region suspects a leakage of examination papers before the start of the exam.

Tapestria purchases Richmond Textiles
December 16, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
Tapestria, an international e-marketplace for decorative fabrics, has purchased Richmond Textiles. The Chicago-based company, "a leading specialty printer for top-of-bed and window coverings for the hospitality market, will be an enormous asset," said David Sonnenberg, Tapestria's ceo.
Richmond, previously owned by Paul Richmond, who continues as the head of the unit, has annual sales of about $6 million, Sonnenberg reported. It offers custom printing options to customers, "and our system has tremendous applications to the Richmond business," he added.
"We will be converting prints to the Tapestria platform for designers and offer recolorings of designs where customers can order a swatch, get it in 48 hours, pick a base cloth and that's it," Sonnenberg explained.
Tapestria was formed in late 2000 as a hybrid in the distribution of decorative fabric by selling exclusively on its website while providing overnight sample service to customers. Sonnenberg, founder and former managing director of Hunter Douglas Europe, is the eldest son of Ralph Sonnenberg, ceo of the Hunter Douglas Group, a diversified global window coverings supplier. Tapestria was started with a $25 million investment from Hunter Douglas.

Catholic League Bashes 'Switch-Hitting' David Bowie Over 'The Next Day'
The Catholic League has released a statement reprimanding David Bowie for the religious themes in his new music video for "The Next Day."
The video, which was taken down from YouTube and then reinstated after the website admitted it made a mistake, features self-flagellation, nuns dressed as prostitutes, and priests enjoying the women's attentions. Bowie leads a band in an S&M-like club, dressed in robs similar to Christ's. It also stars Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue has now blasted the musician for the video. He writes, "The switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen from London has resurfaced, this time playing a Jesus-like character who hangs out in a nightclub dump frequented by priests, cardinals and half-naked women.
"The video is strewn with characteristic excess: one priest bashes a homeless man, while others are busy hitting on women; self-flagellation is depicted; a dancing gal with bleeding hands makes a stigmata statement; and a customer is served eyeballs on a plate... In short, the video reflects the artist - it is a mess.
"Bowie is nothing if not confused about religion... Not sure what he believes in today... but it's a sure bet he can't stop thinking about the Cadillac of all religions, namely Roman Catholicism. There is hope for him yet."

When it comes to Valentine's Day, matters of the heart are on almost everyone's mind. At Island Health Center, heart health always tops the list of our concerns.
The heart may be the symbol of love, but it is also a vital organ that requires nurturing and special care.
Small changes made on a daily basis can vastly improve your heart health and help you and those around you live longer and healthier.
Help for your heart at IHC
Heart disease is serious and catastrophic and happens due to lack of activity and poor food choices.
Fats from the foods you eat accumulate inside the walls of blood vessels and can stop the flow of blood, especially to areas that have very small blood vessels such as the brain and the heart. When the blockage is too large and blood no longer can pass through, the tissue begins to die. This causes the chest pain that is common in heart attacks or stroke in the case of the brain.
At Island Health Center, you can get your blood work checked for the levels of fats in your blood and your blood pressure measurements. We provide full care to make sure you have a full and happy life.
Another factor that can have a dramatic effect on your heart health is weight. The health effects of being overweight or obese are well-documented.
If you are concerned about the effect those extra pounds have on your heart health, talk to the specialists at Island Health Center about our weight loss options. We offer help for those who have a hard time losing weight by monitoring weight loss and offering a prescription weight loss aid.
No matter what your health care needs are, Island Health Center is ready to meet them. Call us today at 409-762-7646, email email@example.com, or visit us on the Web at IslandHealthCenter.net. Our clinic is located just off the Seawall at 4623 Fort Crockett Blvd., between Goodwill and Academy.

IDG Answers is a community of experts who are passionate about technology. Ask a question or answer one below.
I've been using Google Docs for a few years, but I've never really warmed up the the word processor. I was thinking of switching to Open Office, but a colleague suggested Zoho. I've never used it, and was wondering how it stacks up. I'm always up for trying something new, but I don't want to waste my time if it takes a lot of time to learn only to find out it is a crummy product. So, how does Zoho compare to Docs and Open Office?
You must be logged in to ask, answer or follow a question.
I use Docs mostly because it is integrated with all of the other Google products I use regularly, but Zoho is good too. Docs does support more file types which can be important, depending on what you do. For instance, AutoCad files are not supported in Zoho, which could occasionally be an issue for me. Mobile apps for Android are also superior for Docs, which is not surprising since it IS a Google product. Zoho is slightly better at MS Office integration, but not so much that it makes a huge difference.
Really, both Zoho and Docs are pretty decent, and I think they are essentially comparable in use. Other than the couple of areas I mentioned, nothing really stands out to me that makes one better than the other.

We equip drivers with an easy-to-install, custom Bluetooth device (ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII) that you can self-install (or have any mechanic do so for free), into a universal diagnostics port that is standard in North American and European cars since 1996. The small device will sit flush inside your car. Just set it and forget it!
Jaze tells you in plain english (we're working on other languages too), what the check engine light means in your car, approximately how much it will cost and directs you to the most affordable, trustworthy mechanic in your area. The app will even eventually be able to predict repairs, which helps you budget ahead of time.
Not only does Jaze help reduce friction between driver and mechanic, if you or a loved one are ever in an accident Jaze will automatically notify Emergency Medical Services (EMS), plus your pre-selected emergency contacts with the GPS coordinates and time of the accident via text, email and voice.
The average time for Emergency Medical Services to respond to a vehicular accident is 12.5 minutes. The average response time for friends and family to respond to a vehicular accident is over 60 minutes and usually doesn't occur until after the victim has been hospitalized. Jaze expects to significantly reduce these response times by pairing our technology with the driver's mobile phone to immediately send an email, text and voice message with the location and time of accident as soon as the air bag is deployed.
On average consumers spend 19% of their household income on transportation. A large part of that cost falls under car repair and maintenance, which is a mystery to most car owners. Jaze helps reduce the friction between car owner and mechanic by giving drivers easy access to their car data, which levels the playing field by decreasing "information asymmetry" and saving car owners time and money.
Car problems are never fun and they always seem to happen at the worst times. Having the ability to intelligently share the problem with someone generally involves mimicking the noises coming from the car, or explaining what color smoke is spewing from under the hood. Jaze gives everyday drivers easy access to their car's data, allowing them to share that data with someone trustworthy who can help.
We're big on culture and believe that extraordinary teams should operate in extraordinary environments, which is why we set out to create an amazing company culture that focuses on productivity and getting to the right place on your own terms. We're NOT big on titles nor company-mandated fun, but we are obssessed with hiring smart people, giving them all the tools they need to succeed and then getting out of their way. Crazy? So are we. Join us.

Late one night in 1823 Joseph Smith, Jr., was reportedly visited in his family's farmhouse in upstate New York by an angel named Moroni. According to Smith, Moroni told him of a buried stack of gold plates that were inscribed with a history of the Americas' ancient peoples, and which would restore the pure Gospel message as Jesus had delivered it to them. Thus began the unlikely career of the Book of Mormon, the founding text of the Mormon religion, and perhaps the… (more)

Skip to comments.If there really is a 'general Welfare' clause then why ...
Posted on 03/20/2010 11:05:24 AM PDT by Rurudyne
If there really is a 'general Welfare' clause then why doesn't the language of the 10th Amendment mirror that of the 9th to read: 'The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain Powers, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others deemed necessary to provide for the common Defence and promote the general Welfare of the United States of America.'?
... but instead reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
I mean, since the 10th Amendment was in no small measure adopted in response to arguments about the meaning of A1:S8:C1 AND the hypothetical language was obviously known to those who wrote the 10th Amendment since they used similar language in the 9th....
I suspect it's because to our founders, "general welfare" was synonymous with "maximum liberty" and "minimal government intrusion." When read in that regard, the clauses are not only consistent, but mutually reinforcing.
You can thank Alex Hamilton(another Bastard) for injecting "General Welfare" into the US Constitution.
In other words, it was a statement of the general welfare of the country, directly tied to the raising money for defense.
I thought the "promote the general welfare" was only in the Preamble to the Constitution...not in the bill of rights.
Or as Chief Justice Marshall might observe: "Affirmative words are often, in their operation, negative of other objects than those affirmed, and, in this case, a negative or exclusive sense must be given to them or they have no operation at all."
Meaning that if there are any delegated Powers for promoting the general Welfare (post office, patents, etc...) than their very existence demonstrates that they are THE Powers ... and there are no others.
Also as an aside, this may easily be the least wall'o'text-like post on this subject that I've ever made that still manages to cover the material.
A bit harsh no? Isn't Hamilton the Father of the American Banking system?
Harsh, maybe but factual nonetheless.
Note it says "promote" the general welfare" not "provide for". Hamilton knew exactly what he was doing. One of the roles of gov't is to promote an economically friendly environment. Hamilton knew this and the gov't does have to step in from time to time to make sure that this is the case.
This is where the government's role as a regulatory body comes in. At the time of the writing of the Consitution, regulate meant to keep regular. Nothing extraordinary or unfair. Regulate did NOT mean "to run". Read the Federalist Papers. Its all there.
Yes, the purpose of A1:S8:C1 is to delegate Power to Congress to levy certain forms of taxes.
In that context the phrase "to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;" has real meaning about why Congress may tax and even the logical limits on how much they do tax (i.e. not to simply build up a huge pile of swag as if they were Eastern potentates); but, it tells you nothing about the objects of governance (Appropriations, Rules, Regulations and other non-tax stuff) that are reasonable and legal under Law.
It was never intended to be interpreted to mean what the libs/socialists/marxists/commies on courts want it to mean. It's a travesty of justice and any judge who interprets it by ignoring the 10th Amendment should be impeached
The term 'general welfare' is clearly defined and enumerated in Article I, Section 8. It is not an ambiguous term.
To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Congress can exercise the powers it is delegated in support of the General Wefare, that being a goal, not a means or a poer. But it can not exercise any powers not delegated, nor can it exercise even those powers in such a way as to violate the restrictions of the first 9 amendments.
I find it interesting that this came while he was Secretary of State, AFTER the ratification of the Constitution, and in contradiction to what the Framers had told the several States (who alone had Authority to respect the Establishment of the Constitution as Law).
Thus I've said that Hamilton's later comments (as Secretary of State) were made Apart from Authority ... or apart from any lawful role he may have once enjoyed as a Framer but which had to come to an end once those with Authority, indeed Sovereignty, had acted.
Ditto for a much later Court preferring Hamilton's spurious opinion and explanation.
because, um, (and the teleprompter goes out so I have to think on my own), um, um, "General Welfare" means that, generally everybody should be on welfare!
Heh heh! .^
The ammendments should trump the body of the Constitution, they are the final say since they ammend it.
Webster's dictionary 1828
applied to stales: Exemption from any unusual evil or calamity; the enjoyment of peace and prosperity, or the ordinary blessings of society and civil government;
applied to persons: Exemption from misfortune, sickness, calamity or evil; the enjoyment of health and the common blessings of life ; prosperity; happiness;
The government has deemed itself a person and therefore believes it has the right to use the term as it is applied to persons becaue the term as it is applied to states & governments is too limited.
Decided in 1899 that corporations are to be called "PERSONS" and thus the United States, Inc in which the IRS is the enforcer became a "PERSON".
Constitutional architect James Madison
"Another not unimportant consideration is, that the powers of the general government will be, and indeed must be, principally employed upon external objects, such as war, peace, negotiations with foreign powers, and foreign commerce. In its internal operations it can touch but few objects, except to introduce regulations beneficial to the commerce, intercourse, and other relations, between the states, and to lay taxes for the common good. The powers of the states, on the other hand, extend to all objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, and liberties, and property of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the state."
Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
Yup he was. Old Alex is buried in Trinity Church graveyard just a block away from Wall Street.
"The government has deemed itself a person and therefore believes it has the right to use the term as it is applied to persons becaue the term as it is applied to states & governments is too limited."
Of late I've been using a similar notion: Sovereignty.
One of the principal causes for the American Revolution was the growing awareness that the Crown and its Ministers (or even Jurist) could essentially recast the English constitution at will to suit them.
They could do this because the King was a Sovereign and his Ministers and Jurist were able to exercise this Sovereignty on his behalf.
But the United States federal government is more akin to a chartered corporation than a Sovereign Person (which may help raise your point to its clearest light). Thus Chief Justice John Marshall wrote: "The powers of the Legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the Constitution is written. To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing, if these limits may at any time be passed by those intended to be restrained? The distinction between a government with limited and unlimited powers is abolished if those limits do not confine the persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and acts allowed are of equal obligation. It is a proposition too plain to be contested that the Constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it, or that the Legislature may alter the Constitution by an ordinary act."
... and as for the rule of the courts, Marshall wrote: "From these and many other selections which might be made, it is apparent that the framers of the Constitution contemplated that instrument as a rule for the government of courts, as well as of the Legislature."
So there is no hint, especially under Marbury when taken in proper context, that the federal is to be sovereign over itself to be able to further establish and define its powers by ordinary means available at its disposal (legislation, executive orders, opinions and the like).
THAT power, Sovereignty over the Constitution, IS retained within the specific context of Article 5 and Article 5 alone.
That means that ultimately WE THE PEOPLE are Sovereign over our government (echoing the DoI no less) but only within a specific context (amendment ... not mere elections) are we able to work out that Sovereignty for ourselves and our Posterity.
The you have to ask yourself: do amendments generally function globally or do they also have 'original intent' that must be taken into account?
For example, the 16th Amendment was sold on a soak the ultra rich basis and not as a way to heavily tax the lower and middle classes. As a matter of intent one can say this is what the States as Sovereigns signed off on and nothing else.
Now, as per Corfield v Coryell one of our common law Privileges and Immunities was an exemption to paying higher taxes than other Citizens. Given that there was no other body of rights retained by the people at the time that the 9th Amendment was adopted it logically follows that these SAME P&I mentioned in A4:S2:C1 are also the rights that are the "others retained" in the 9th Amendment.
So, one could look at the 9th Amendment and opine that all progressive taxes are unconstitutional EXCEPT for those on the ultra rich BECAUSE the intent of the 16th Amendment altered this with respect to the federal (but not with respect to the States).
So, using the principal that amendments too have intent that may limit their application I feel safe to opine that any federal income tax that has more than two brackets one more dear that only affects the ultra rich is and should be deemed unconstitutional.
Here's what Thomas Jefferson had to say about it:
"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That " all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [XIIth amendment.] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition....
"To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, "to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare." For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase, not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.
It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and, as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please.
It is an established rule of construction where a phrase will bear either of two meanings, to give it that which will allow some meaning to the other parts of the instrument, and not that which would render all the others useless. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It was intended to lace them up straitly within the enumerated powers, and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect.
"General welfare" doesn't mean 2/3 of the nation gets to sit on it's arse and be fed by the remainder!
The 10th Amendment has been used as a door mat by the Congress. Our Founding Fathers knew that the states and local governments needed protection from an over zealous power in Washington DC. To them it seemed clear each level of government had specific responsibilities to its constituency that should NOT be performed/executed by another level/gov't sovereign. Thus creating two sovereigns: one federal and one state.
However the federal Government using the Commerce Clause has extended its reach into virtually every aspect of American life, usurping state power. It started with a lawsuit involving the National Labor Relations Board back in the 30's-40's time frame (FDR's New Deal).
Subsequently it has been used and abused by our Washington DC politicians for numerous reasons one being the proliferation of unfunded mandates. It has made the states subservient and secondary to the federal government. State sovereignty is pretty much dead and the 10th Amendment a step-child if that of the Constitution.
Isn't this basically why the colonies rebelled against the King and England way back when. Can the states revive their rightful sovereignty as delineated by the 10th Amendment ... that remains to be seen.
Chief Justice John Jay stated in his deciding opinion in Chisholm v. Georgia, the first great constitutional case decided after the ratification of the Constitution of 1789:
[T]he sovereignty of the nation is in the people of the nation, and the residuary sovereignty of each State in the people of each State
[A]t the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects ] they have NO power to force us to purchase anything just because we are citizens or inhabitants. This is further upheld in the constitution by the 14th, the 15th & the 24th amendments. Our God given liberties & rights under the constitution can not be abridged by threats of fines, imprisonment or taxes levied against our property. Therefore mandates that come with threats of fines/taxes/imprisonment affixed against those who choose not to purchase the type of insurance the govt deems they should is WHOLLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. HARPER v. VIRGINIA BD. OF ELECTIONS, 383 U.S. 663 (1966)
This legislation is race based and is choked full of immunities for certain 'classes' of people and it WILL be defeated. Either in Congress or in the courts.
The Bastards were the FDR judges on Scotus who crapped on almost 300 years of common sense. FU
What is right and wrong and Constitutional is somewhat subjective.
There are needs for taxes and Congress has the authority to levy taxes.
However, is it morally right to legally force one group to pay for the sustanance of others?
Since I'm of the opinion that since God didn't ask Isreal for more than 10% of their increase, government shouldn't get a cent more than that from individuals no matter how they get it.

The average child is getting so much allowance money these days that you might confuse it for Social Security.
The Financial Literacy Commission of the American Institute of CPAs recently released a survey that says the average American kid gets $65 a month to spend as they like, above and beyond what parents buy for them. Even more shocking (or not), just 1% of the parents say their wee ones put any of the cash into savings.
These kids are this close to being politicians-in-training.
What is dangerous about allowance–just giving money out–is that the child doesn't associate money with work. The earlier they start to learn about doing work and getting paid for it (don't forget the budget), the more prepared they will be for the real world.
If a son or daughter gets stuck in the "bring me money so I can do what I want" mindset, it will be incredibly hard to break them from that thinking. They might struggle to hold onto a job as they get old enough to live on their own. They might even want to move back in with you. Cue dramatic organ music.
Replace allowance with commission. Work and get paid. Don't ... and don't. Just like the real world. Start teaching your children that lesson early so they gravitate toward it throughout their lives. The benefits go beyond just keeping their room clean. They will learn responsibility, and that spills over into other areas of their lives.
And make sure to set reasonable pay for chores. A child who has to work hard and save money for a while will get a more realistic view of money (and the work that goes into getting it) than someone who does a couple of chores around the house and suddenly has enough cash to buy a video game or the shirt they want. Pay should be based on how hard they work relative to their age.
Sitting on your duff doesn't earn money. Work does. Are your kids learning that?

UPDATE (Monday 11:14 AM): The agreement is now official.
Original post (Saturday):
Barmes [stats] is 32. He's very good defensively, but isn't so great with the bat. This isn't really much of a surprise – I predicted the Pirates would end up with Barmes once they decided to let Ronny Cedeno walk. Barmes might be a slight upgrade over Cedeno but wouldn't be a giant improvement. He'll definitely cost more, though.
The deal is reportedly worth
$11 million $10.5 million over two years, which is…a lot. I'll wait until it's official to pass more judgement, but initially I have a hard time seeing how this is a better idea than going with Cedeno and spending the extra money elsewhere.
I'll post any more updates as they happen. While you wait with bated breath, you can vote for me and tell your friends to do the same.

Well, I hope you like this post today. I spent a good amount of time on it for you.
It's about SEO, keywords, tracking, pay-per-click management, competition research, and more all wrapped up into one nifty software package that's…FREE…and it's not a "trial" either.
In fact, what I've done here is take the press release that they provided and I've taken the liberty of adding some screen shots of the software and what it does. At the end of the post, I've included a link where you can get this powerful software.
Without further addo, here's the press release. Please leave a comment when you're done reading this post. I'm curious if this is the type of information you would like more of. Enjoy the post!…
Press Release:
Nov 12, 2008 – Small website owners are finding it increasingly difficult to rank in the search engines as competition on the Internet intensifies. New webmasters often don't even realize just how important search engine optimization is to the success of their website until they have had their site online several months. It's only when their website begins to slip into oblivion and traffic dwindles away that the truth hits home.
Mark Ling, founder of SEO software Traffic Travis, says that at this point "website owners' panic and use snippets of information they have gathered from blogs and articles in a haphazard approach to SEO that usually produces very little in the way of results. Some webmasters take some bad advice and end up watching their sites slip even further down the ranks."
However, he says, it is not just newbies who struggle with SEO. Even experienced webmasters find it challenging. "The cost and time involved in SEO can be very restrictive – we don't all have the resources of the BBC. Obviously something had to change."
Traffic Travis is SEO software designed to make ranking in the search engines achievable and easy for website owners of all levels and experience, without the need for a big marketing budget. And the newly-released 3.0 version includes even more features to streamline the SEO process.
"Search engine optimization does not have to be labor intensive or a financial burden," says Ling. "Traffic Travis 3.0 offers a simple optimization system that can be carried out quickly and easily using a variety of custom-created tools. The tools automate different stages of the research process, so that previously time-consuming research tasks can be achieved in minutes."
Not only this, says Ling, but Traffic Travis can also help to point out factors that might otherwise go overlooked.
"Say you're researching a competitor, and you want to look at their backlinks. Traffic Travis will tell you this, and it'll also retrieve the IP addresses of the websites, the PageRank and the anchor text. All these are very important factors when assessing backlink quality. You can't judge a link on one of these factors alone, so any tool that doesn't give you all this information at once is only giving you a tiny portion of the picture."
The results that Traffic Travis users have achieved are impressive. Many are regularly achieving first page rankings for their main search terms. 000Relationships.com is one such customer: "We've been plodding away for years trying to get our search engine rankings up. And now, using Traffic Travis, we've managed to get our site to #4 & #5 in Google, #1 & #2 in Yahoo and #2 & #3 in MSN for our highly converted search phrase — 'How to Attract Men''"
This unassuming software tool is quietly revolutionizing the way website owners do business on the Internet. "Our aim is to give all website owners the means and opportunity to rank on page one for their search terms," says Ling, "Traffic Travis puts all webmasters on an equal footing, no matter what their budget or experience is."

Fingers crossed I will be moving into a house within a few months. Right now I'm in a second floor apartment and previously I had a two story house, with all the bedrooms on the second floor. I could lock all the windows on the first floor at night, and still get a nice breeze in the bedrooms.
So for those of you that have ranch style homes, how do you keep you windows open a small amount at night. I thought about putting something in the top, but wouldn't you be able to pull the window down, thus releasing whatever is keeping it open only a few inches and then being able to open it fully?
I do have to mention, I have OCD, so checking/rechecking my windows/locks is part of my issue, and possibly why I'm way over thinking this.
Do I just say f it, and turn on the a/c at night?
