Placement Testing
Pennsylvania Highlands Community College uses ACCUPLACER computerized placement testing to determine a student's academic skill level in reading, English, and math. This is not a college entrance examination; rather, it is an accurate assessment of skills for appropriate course placement.
Who is required to take the ACCUPLACER Test?
All degree-seeking full and part-time students and all non-degree seeking students planning to enroll in English or mathematics courses.
Why is it necessary to take the ACCUPLACER test?
The ACCUPLACER test helps to determine your level in certain areas. You will start at that level which will bring you the most success.
How do I prepare for the ACCUPLACER test?
WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRACTICE AND PREPARE FOR ACCUPLACER TESTING. By adequately preparing and successfully testing into college level courses in English and math, you can save time and tuition. If, however, your skill level in English and/or math needs more development, our college-preparatory courses will insure that development and contribute to your ultimate success at the college level. Here are some links to help you adequately prepare for the ACCUPLACER test:

From the outset, the founders of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW, rejected the notion that the interests of humans and animals were separate. Instead they embraced the understanding that the fate and future of harp seals-and all other animals on Earth-are inextricably linked to our own.
IFAW's courageous actions drew international attention to the plight of the seal pups and successfully rallied worldwide condemnation of the hunt. Thanks to IFAW's continued vigilance, it is now illegal to hunt whitecoat seal pups for commercial purposes on the ice floes off Canada's east coast. This is a fragile victory, however, for Canada's commercial seal hunt persists. IFAW continues to document and expose abuses of the commercial hunt and press for an end to this cruel, unsustainable slaughter. Over the years, the small team of committed campaigners reaching out to help seals has grown to become the world's leading international animal welfare organization. IFAW begins its fourth decade of operation with more than 200 experienced campaigners, legal and political experts, and internationally acclaimed scientists working from offices in 15 countries around the world.
We are now joined in this important work by some two million contributors worldwide. This broad base of support makes it possible for IFAW to engage communities, government leaders, and like-minded organizations around the world and achieve lasting solutions to pressing animal welfare and conservation challenges-solutions that benefit both animals and people. Over the years, our approach has been as varied as the species we protect.

The political silly season can't come soon enough for Pandora Media. The 2012 elections were a boon for the online radio company, which reports earnings later Thursday, July 24, and it has spent the years since preparing to do even better in 2014.
Political advertising is big business for media companies, especially after the Supreme Court loosened restrictions on spending in 2010. Television broadcasters made about 12 percent of their revenue from politics in 2012, according to Moody's. No one expects this year to be equally lucrative—midterms can't compete with presidential years for spending—but Pandora has probably grown faster than the shrinking expected in the overall pool of advertising expenditures. The amount of money spent on digital political advertising has expanded 20-fold since 2010, according to research firm Borrell Associates.
Pandora is in a slightly different position than other Internet companies, because its goal is almost entirely to siphon ad dollars from traditional radio. It's better prepared to do so this time around. The company has more than doubled the number of markets where it sells ads and has improved its targeting capabilities, a major advantage over traditional radio. Pandora has information about the age, gender, and ZIP Code of its users. Tim Westergren, the company's co-founder, has said that it can tell with 90 percent accuracy whether a specific Pandora listener is a Republican, Independent, or Democrat based on his or her activity on the network.
Pandora has been making this pitch to all its advertisers, but political customers will be more receptive, says Corey Barrett, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities. "Investors haven't really contemplated how big a factor political advertising is in radio. They also underestimate how effective the pitch is from Pandora," he says. "The political advertisers will really sit up and listen when you say you can target by ZIP Code."
There are some risks to consider ahead of Pandora's political-advertising blitz. Like all consumer Internet companies, Pandora closely watches the balance of advertising to content, to make money without alienating its users. And Pandora has learned that this calculation is particularly important when dealing in political advertising.
"When we do take advertising dollars from political movements in particular, the number of e-mails and calls to customer service goes up quite dramatically, and not thanking us for targeting them, generally," said Michael Herring, Pandora's chief financial officer, in a conference call with investors in February. "It's just because politics strikes a raw nerve here no matter what your demographic is."

Audio Clip of Eddie Van Halen and LL Cool J Collaboration Leaks Online
Legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen recently confounded some of his longtime fans by tweeting a photo of himself sitting at the board of a recording studio with rapper LL Cool J, accompanied by a single cryptic line of text that read, "Authentic 4.30.13." When the rapper posted the same picture, it touched off fevered speculation about a collaboration between the two performers. Now that cross-genre alliance has been confirmed, as the first audio clip of a track they recorded together has leaked online.

Teen told of charges over explosives in school
LAFAYETTE, Colo. - A teenager who is charged as an adult after an explosive device was found at Centaurus High School in Lafayette in May has been informed of the charges against him.
Andrew de Bartolome, 16, was told Wednesday he is facing charges of first-degree attempted murder, use of explosives, possession of an explosive and felony menacing.
According to KMGH-TV, defense attorneys said the charges are extreme for the situation because no one was harmed. Prosecutors say the teen poses a possible future threat.
A device was found in a paper bag by a teacher. The teacher took it outside and the bomb squad later detonated it.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Slick-talking Rustin Gates slithered into our office and proceeded to flatter all the women and plead his case for pushing his magazines. He would NOT take no for an answer and would not leave, so it ended up costing me $49 in CASH (of course) to get rid of this slimy creature.
I saw there was an address listed on my receipt to cancel this cohersed order within a certain number of days, so I didn't feel too stupid (or slimy) for giving him the cash, all the while knowing I'd be getting it back soon. Wow, the joke was on me! My husband and I filed the cancellation required and never heard a word.
So...finally I googled the name and here I am. I feel like a fool for handing cash to a guy I didn't know or trust...just because I thought I'd get it back when I cancelled. I hope he and the company he represnets can be stopped before others find themselves cheated.

Nov 15, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorSamantha Unruh and Kiara Skinner of Central Wyoming College have been named to the all-Region IX volleyball team based on their performances during the 2013 season.
The two, along with teammates Asya Oguz and Jess Kohler, also were named to the North all-conference team.
The all-region team is made of up 15 players. The all-conference has 18 players on the team.
"Right now there isn't much of a difference between all-region and all-conference," CWC head coach Tiffany Stauffenberg said. "There was a difference when we had Dawson in there. Volleyball has kept the Wyoming all-conference team. It's a way to get more people recognized by doing an all-conference and all-region team."
Stauffenberg was named the conference coach of the year.
All-region players
Unruh was a two-year player for Stauffenberg, while Skinner is a freshman.
"Samantha and Kiara are both great middles," Stauffenberg said.
In 33 matches this year, Unruh had 116 assisted blocks and 28 solo blocks.
"Samantha is on there with her blocking," Stauffenberg said. "She ended up No. 9 in the nation in blocks. We didn't have to look at her for her offense. She was the one that everybody knew was a good blocker."
Skinner slammed 204 kills. She averaged 1.87 kills per set for the Rustlers.
"Kiara could put the ball down," Stauffenberg said.
Conference honors
Kohler was No. 1 in the National Junior College Athletic Association in digs per set at 6.33.
Oguz was No. 1 in kills for the Rustlers with 272.
"Asya and Jess were both very steady for us," Stauffenberg said.
Coaching award
This is the third time Stauffenberg has been named coach of the year in her time at the helm of the CWC program.
"It's 100 percent team award," Stauffenberg said. "I was recognized because of how we changed so much from the first half of the season to the second half of the season."
CWC went 1-5 in the first half of the season in Region IX play.
"Offensively, we weren't the team that I knew that we could be," Stauffenberg said. "I had two people in the position that didn't plan them to be in right away. It's just took a lot of time to get our setters where they were consistent and our hitters knew where the ball was going to be.
"It just took time. I had so many freshmen and it took time to adjust. There were so many new bodies. It was just a lot of learning. Once we did, we started clicking."
The Rustlers were 5-1 in the second half.
CWC finished the regular season as the No. 4 seed for the postseason tournament.
In the tournament at Torrington, Sheridan College and Northwest College knocked off the Rustlers.
"I was pretty shocked because we were going in as the No. 4 seed," Stauffenberg said. "I was very honored."
Northwest College went on to eliminate Casper College and stun nationally ranked Western Wyoming twice in the championship match for the crown.
CWC ended the year with a 15-18 overall record.
The four sophomores this year were Kohler, Unruh, Oguz and Marissa Cutts.
"I'm excited about the girls that I have returning next year," Stauffenberg said. "Right now, I'm out recruiting in every position."
Stauffenberg jumped-started in the recruiting process during the Wyoming state volleyball tournament last month at the Casper Events Center.
"I think that there are a lot of great Wyoming kids out there this year, more than there has been in the past," Stauffenberg said. "I'm excited to fill the shoes that I'm losing."

ADA stand build
Good Morning Guys and Gals,
Im in the initial stages of building an ADA style stand for a 90-H. [censored]Couple of questions: [censored]First, does anybody know if Jason Balaban is still active on any of these forums? With his DIY ADA stands he used Formica laminate. [censored]I plan on doing the same. [censored]In some of the photos of his handwork I cant tell whether he used a flush-bit laminate bit or a bevel-edge laminate bit. [censored]I have never seen an actual ADA store bought stand in person so I dont have a frame of reference there either. [censored]Second, I plan on spraying the interior compartment with paint. [censored]However, in all of my limited painting adventures it always seems that the darn primer often looks better than the paint itself. [censored](for having that neutral, low gloss or no gloss look). [censored]Can anybody recommend a proven water resistant primer that can be purchased in spray can form?
Thanks Much!
[censored]Are you having a bad day?
As I recall he only used straight trim bits. My experience with laminating formica is that the straight bits work great for that.
Any spray can paint, as long as it isn't shellac based, is water resistant. We don't need epoxy paint for the very limited amount of water splashing we run into, so that lets us use just about anything else. But, you can get epoxy paint in spray cans too.
That's weird. The iPhone inserted the censor remark at every space between sentences. :-O
As to spraying it, look for a Jennican or a rechargeable spray can.
Harbor Freight's model is this one.
Here is another type
White foam paint rollers do a great job of putting paint on very evenly and essentially flat. Some times better than a spray job would be.
yeah Jason is still active, send him a PM if you have any more questions. :)

It was a tough assignment, but trouper that she is, Necia Wilden stepped up to the mark. Her task: search out Melbourne's best sweets.
Sticky date pudding? Oh, we're all so over it. Chocolate fondant? Mmm, yes please, even if it is just "undercooked chocolate pudding", in the words of one Melbourne chef; Take a look at some of our best dessert menus and there's a lot to discover, once you've stopped drooling. That they're as prey to fashion as the rest of the dining experience, for one. That they know the power of the magic "C" word - chocolate - as well; But perhaps the most surprising thing about Melbourne's dessert menus is that a lot of you aren't looking at them in the first place. Yes, we Aussies like our puds, but as a nation we're just not in the same league as, say, the British or the Americans.
"In England, everyone has puddings, they're forced upon you as a child," Botanical chef and expat Brit Paul Wilson says. "
"So restaurant pastry chefs there have a high profile because they're responsible for a big part of the profits."
In America, it's not only delis and drive-throughs
that fuel the nation's sugar obsession. Even the most refined, modern
restaurants make a big play of the dessert carte, luring diet-fatigued
diners with huge, high-kitsch numbers like doughnut stacks, baked alaskas
and triple-chocolate brownies with peanut butter ice-cream.
It's just not the same here, where the celebrity pastry chef is virtually non-existent and restaurant dessert sales lurch from about 30-35 per cent of diners at somewhere like Cecconi's (are they all rushing back to the gaming tables?), to 40-60 per cent at Arintji and 70-73 per cent at Donovans and Botanical.
It seems we don't like our desserts too flashy, either. "Australians tend to go for old-fashioned sweets like steamed puddings; they're not into the big show-off numbers," Wilson says. "When I've done very technically demanding desserts in the past, we've slaved over them for hours and then they just haven't sold."
Someone who understands the power of the simple sweet is Arintji chef Daniel Wilson, whose chocolate fondue is one of the Fed Square eatery's biggest-selling desserts.
"We make it with Callebaut chocolate buttons and cream; well, that's about it, really," he says. "Then we melt it in a special oven, called a microwave ... we put it in a pot and serve it with honeycomb we make ourselves, lime-zest meringue and seasonal fruit. It's a good sharing dish."
Indeed. In fact, it was somewhere around the last finger-lick of gooey, melted chocolate that we decided it was time to go forth in search of other great Melbourne desserts. This was a tough job - no, really. How do you decide what constitutes greatness?
We started with research, aided by two distinct groups of sweets-eaters: those who love them and those who don't. The first group because they could bombard us with recommendations, as they know the difference between a mousse and a marquise and some of them are so hard-core that when they go to a restaurant they ask to see the dessert menu first - not so they can skip straight to sweets, but so they can construct their whole dinner around its ambrosial conclusion.
And the second group? The second group because if you don't have a sweet tooth, a dessert has to be really, really good before you'll deign to eat it. And, if you're like me, you're one of those annoying types who say, "Oh, I NEVER eat sweets", while polishing off the apricot souffle you stole from your partner five mouthfuls ago. Yes, you, too, know a bit about Melbourne's best desserts.
After that, it was just a matter of going out, eating lots of very good puddings and sorting them into appropriate categories. It's nice to get the long straw now and again.
* Due to seasonal menu changes, some of the desserts on our list may not be available year-round.
Just for fun
Arintji's warm chocolate fondue with lime meringue, honeycomb and fruit for dipping ($11, or $18 to share), Arintji, city.
We all scoffed at Ash and Amanda's daggy chocolate fondue in My Restaurant Rules - until they won. Now, it's time to get with the program. Arintji does a classy version of this '70s classic: a bowl of molten chocolate comes with banana batons, honeycomb shards and wands of citrussy meringue. You might be able to keep an ironic eyebrow arched for the first few dips, but by the time you're scraping the bowl with your fingers, you know this love is real. -- Dani Valent
Also recommended: peanut caramel nougat cake, Vegetarian Orgasm, Fitzroy; walnut and chocolate brownie with cherry ice-cream, Sails on the Bay, Elwood; ice-cream and jelly - sweet and sour blood orange jelly with a mascarpone and pistachio nut gelato, Bacash, South Yarra; honeycrunch ice-cream with toasted gingerbread, cinnamon oil and sugar swirls, ezard at adelphi, city.
Turkish delight, rose-petal ice-cream, glace ginger with pomegranate seeds and Persian fairy floss, $14, Pearl, Richmond.
The subtle fragrance of the rose-petal ice-cream is the nucleus of this amazing, pink dessert. Delicate flavours merge with textural, olfactory and visual contrasts that are child-like, yet very grown-up. The sharpness of the pomegranate seeds and the glace ginger add sophistication, while tiny bites of sweet Turkish delight and fluffy Persian fairy floss contribute pure whimsy. -- Leanne Tolra
Also recommended: chestnut tart with truffle honey, Scusa Mi, Southbank; ginger creme chiboust with a sauternes and liquorice ice-cream and baby roast pears, Vue de Monde, Carlton.
Wood-roasted quince clafoutis with raisins and spices, $12.50, The Botanical, South Yarra.
It comes to the table in the sort of heavy, cast-iron pan that lies rusting away in many a Victorian shed. It's a pool of golden, just-set almond meal and calvados batter, the surface broken with hunks of ruddy quince that are tart against the batter's sweetness. With it is cinnamon ice-cream, puff pastry palmiers and a sauce of Calvados-sodden dried fruit. Cooked in the wood-fired oven, the quince clafoutis is a darn fine winter warmer and I want one now! Also available as a shared dish on pre-order. -- Matt Preston
Also recommended: Greek doughnuts with date ice-cream and pistachios, The Rose, Port Melbourne; semifreddo with warm biscotti, Benito's, city; sticky date pudding, the Village Belle, St Kilda; slow-poached quince and pear, caramelised ginger brioche and pinenut praline ice-cream, Mo Mo, city.
Vanilla-bean panna cotta with pineapple compote, $15.50, Cecconi's, Crown, Southbank.
Oh no, not panna cotta again. Well, yes and no. At Cecconi's, this year's seen-everywhere dessert is vanilla-speckled, wobbly, smoothly creamy and so good it's like tasting it for the very first time. You'll need some fruit to go with your "cooked cream": perhaps, at this time of year, some tangy, fresh pineapple, diced fine and threaded with basil chiffonnade. Oh, and a pineapple "frisbee" alongside - that's what the staff calls a golden circle of paper-thin, crunchy, frosted fruit. -- Necia Wilden
Also recommended: creme brulee, France-Soir, South Yarra; creme brulee, Koots, Kooyong; chestnut honey panna cotta with battered Californian dates, Ladro, Fitzroy; buttermilk pudding with rhubarb poached in rosewater, Magic City, Camberwell; vanilla panna cotta with chocolate-stuffed prunes, Balzari, Carlton.
Nitrogen-poached meringue (part of degustation menu), Fenix, Richmond.
"Molecular gastronomy" searches for new experiences for the tongue and this smart idea, adopted here by Raymond Capaldi at Fenix, originally came from The Fat Duck outside London. A ball of meringue-like foam is "poached" in liquid nitrogen at minus 190C. This freezes a thin crust on the outside but the light centre stays soft. Popped in the mouth, it's a fascinating contrast of textures and flavours. Part of Fenix's degustation tasting menus (priced from $85). -- Matt Preston
Also recommended: Le Grand Dessert - plate with jasmine tea brulee, stout and aubergine ice-cream with fisherman's friend wafers, Caribbean mousse, spiced cherries, ginger millefeuilles, Jacques Reymond, Windsor.
Warm chocolate fondant with chocolate sorbet, $12.50, Taxi, City.
Fed Square's newest restaurant has two killer chocolate desserts doing the Paul McCartney-Michael Jackson ebony and ivory thing. The pale Liverpudlian is a white chocky souffle served with a vanilla custard - which you pour into its vulnerable centre - and a praline ice-cream. But the winner - the ebony upstart from Motown - is a dark-chocolate trio: a refined, soft-centred fondant; a rich but not too cloying mousse; and a deep, dark sorbet. Not too sweet, but not too bitter, each element is punctuated with dots of white cream, graduating in size. And the platter that bears this threesome - an irregularly shaped piece of Japanese stoneware - is superb. A must-do dessert. -- John Lethlean
Also recommended: Callebaut bittersweet dark chocolate tart, Saucier, Armadale; parfait of rum, raisin and bitter chocolate with dried fruit compote, Langton's, city; Callebaut chocolate and burnt fig tart, Jarrah, Southbank; warm chocolate fondant, liquorice ice-cream, Le Restaurant, city; churros and hot chocolate, MoVida, city; Valrhona chocolate souffle with malt ice-cream and chocolate syrup, Grossi Florentino, city; hot chocolate souffle with espresso ice-cream, Donovans, St Kilda; warm chocolate pudding with vanilla-bean ice-cream and citrus compote, Cecconi's, Southbank.
Pear & cinnamon charlotte, pear strudel, $16.50, Langton's, city.
Some desserts go bang! kapow! on first bite; others take a little longer to reveal their charms. This elegant strudel, a modern deconstruction of the Austro-German classic, is in the latter camp. At first bite it's perfectly pleasant, with fine, circular butter biscuits standing in for the pastry and sandwiching a refreshing dice of poached pear and sultanas. A nibble of the mousse alongside, another bite of strudel and then, suddenly, you're swooning. It's creamy and light, fruity and crisp, restrained and indulgent, New World and Old World - all on the one plate. -- Necia Wilden
Also recommended: mango and coconut millefeuille with candied lime syrup, The Graham, Port Melbourne; fresh fruit platter, Flower Drum, city; rhubarb and quince crumble with cinnamon ice-cream, radii, city.
Raspberry souffle with raspberry pouring sauce and vanilla ice-cream, $18.50, Walter's Wine Bar, Southbank.
It's 80 per cent air, but what intensely raspberry-flavoured air it is! The celestial raspberry souffle at Walter's is a warm-weather favourite, often made with berries picked that morning, and served with a jug of warm raspberry coulis and a scoop of house-made ice-cream flecked with vanilla seeds. The secret to a tender souffle, chef Justin Cortellino says, is not to overcook it. Too much time in the oven and it becomes rubbery and tastes eggy. When raspberry season is over, the kitchen turns to other fruits - quince souffle with cinnamon ice-cream was a recent best-seller. -- Roslyn Grundy
Also recommended: floating island with praline, Le Petit Bourgeois, Malvern East; Salzburger nockerln, Le Gourmet, East Melbourne; tiramisu, Grossi Florentino Grill, city; raspberry souffle, Toofey's, Carlton.
Ice-cream terrine, $9.50, Sporting Club Hotel, Brunswick.
It's not just about size. The perfect glutton's dessert needs to be sweet, generous, eye-catching and a bit sexy. This has it all - two 2 cm-thick slabs of vanilla-bean ice-cream, flavoured with bush honey and studded with Turkish delight, candied orange zest and roasted nuts, resting on a thick drizzle of a sweet, reduced, citrus sauce and topped with a large shard of toffee lattice. Two could share, but apparently almost no one does. -- Kylie Walker
Also recommended: banana caramel cream pie, Blue Train, Southbank; bombe alaska, Donovans, St Kilda; white chocolate and macadamia praline cake, Gluttony It's a Sin, Collingwood.
Eight treasure rice pudding with dried fruits and osmanthus-flower coulis, Chine on Paramount, city.
Go on, lash out and say no to the banana fritters for a change. OK, so they're good here, too, but you shouldn't miss out on this gem of a dessert, the most unusual rice pudding we've seen. A gorgeous mini-dome of half-black, half-white sticky rice arrives festooned with harlequin colours from eight different little dried fruits, including pineapple, cumquat, snow melon, cherry and date. It sits in a moat of clear liquid flecked with golden bits of osmanthus flower that lend a subtle, jasmine-like flavour. As with all good Asian desserts, the sweetness is understated. -- Necia Wilden
Also recommended: sweet walnut cream, Red Emperor, Southbank; steamed crystal dumplings, Mask of China, city; almond pudding with sesame icing sugar, David's, Prahran; green tea creme brulee, Kenzan, city.
� Mixed gelati - Simone's, Bright.
� Buttermilk pudding - Heronswood Diggers Club cafe.
� Quince bread and butter pudding - The Pickled Sisters Cafe, Wahgunyah.
� Six tastes (dessert tasting plate) - Lake House, Daylesford.
� Fried ricotta and orange dumplings with clementine compote and double cream - Berardo's, Noosa Heads.

Researchers at Duke University and the University of British Columbia are exploring whether surfaces can shed dirt without being subjected to fragile coatings
Scalpels that never need washing. Airplane wings that de-ice themselves. Windshields that readily repel raindrops. While the appeal of a self-cleaning, hydrophobic surface may be apparent, the extremely fragile nature of the nanostructures that give rise to the water-shedding surfaces greatly limit the durability and use of such objects.
To remedy this, researchers at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, are investigating the mechanisms of self-propulsion that occur when two droplets come together, catapulting themselves and any potential contaminants off the surface of interest. They ultimately hope to determine whether superhydrophobicity — a surface that is impossible to wet — is a necessary requirement for self-cleaning surfaces.
"The self-propelled catapulting process is somewhat analogous to pogo jumping," said Chuan-Hua Chen, an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University. He and his colleagues present their work this week in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing.
When the droplets coalesce, or come together on a solid particle, they release energy – analogous to the release of biochemical energy of a human body on a pogo stick. The energy is then converted through the interaction between the oscillating liquid drop and the solid particle – analogous to the storage and conversion of energy by the spring mechanism of the pogo stick.
"In both cases, the catapulting is produced by internally generated energy, and the ultimate launching comes from the ground that supports the payload – the solid particle or the pogo stick," Chen said.

TV: The Unpredictable Monkees Arrive on N.B.C.; Humor Played Up and Music Soft-Pedaled Jean Arthur and Jack Sheldon Also Bow
By JACK GOULD ();
September 13, 1966,
, Section , Page 95, Column , words
LAST night's premiere of the show called "The Monkees" owes an inestimable debt to the motion pictures of the Beatles. In its zaniness and unpredictability, the similarity is so marked as to suggest that the producers may wish to make a voluntary contribution to support of the British pound.

Legal services are not just for big business. Even individuals, such as you, may be in need of a solicitor's advice every now and then. Such legal services can become necessary for areas like:
- Settling disputes of various kinds
- Dealing with property transactions
- Coping with travel laws and travel claims
- Specific services for people serving in the military
- Drawing up wills.
Looking for the best possible Southampton firm of solicitors can help you deal with all the above aspects, amongst many others.
We all have very different needs when it comes to using the services of a solicitor. Therefore, it makes sense for you to understand what services the solicitors close to you supply, so you can decide which one best suits your needs. The solicitors in Southampton include services, such as:
- Wealth structuring which can help plan the correct distribution of hard-earned assets and property of various kinds.
- Defending claims in terms of accidents of various kinds and especially to clear complex issues related to the same.
- Insurance disputes for various areas – house ownership, vehicle owners, property damage and even personal injury cases.
- Helping people who are vulnerable because of lack of mental capacity to deal with their own affairs and so on.
Dispute resolution
Any individual can face disputes in areas such as property, insurance, travel claims, accidents and even conflicts in personal relationships. It therefore becomes extremely important to have a solicitor who can help you with:
- Local tenancy laws that apply in the UK
- Drawing up or whetting contracts
- Dealing with insurance claims related to personal injury or work place injury or even property damage
- Laws that apply in cases of marriage, divorce, separation and so on.
It therefore becomes a little easier to deal with various kinds of disputes in a court of law.
Specialised services
Southampton solicitors can also offer services aimed at specific 'categories' of people. An example of one of these areas is for people serving in the armed forces. Obviously, the problems and issues that people in the armed force face will be very different to those experienced by normal civilians.
It therefore becomes extremely important for a solicitor's firm to keep this 'special case' in mind why the offering legal solutions. These legal solutions could encompass:
- Pensions
- Wills
- Dealing with marital disputes, especially when the armed force person is away from home.
Property related services
Another huge area of law and an area of concern is property related issues. Which can include defending the claims of various kinds of even settling disputes between landowners and tenants. If you are thinking of purchasing a property in the UK, then it is best to enlist the help of local a local Solicitor.
This can go a very long way in ensuring that all your transactions are clean and clear in the eyes of the law. Conveyancing is another area where Southampton solicitors can help you tremendously with their exemplary legal service.
Trethowans is widely regarded as one of the South's leading firm of solicitors with offices in Southampton and Salisbury.

Fishing Report from Townsend, Tennessee in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and East Tennnessee.
Welcome to the Fishing Report. It is sunny and 17 degrees in Townsend this morning. I can't see any snow in Great Smoky Mountains National Park from here. I know there is some up there.
Little River is ice cold, 34 degrees. I think that number dipped to 32 degrees once this year. Flow is 227 cubic feet per second (cfs). Normal for this date is 284 cfs. There have not been many days in months, when the river has been flowing below normal. That has been rare.
The weather forecast indicates we will get a wintry mix of precipitation tonight and an 80% chance of freezing rain tomorrow morning. After that, it is going to warm up. The Smoky Mountains will be fishable again soon. East Tennessee will be comfortable again soon. Anglers will be out. We will see lows at night in the mid to high 30's, even 40's. Highs will be in the 50's and 60's. Spring will be back.
Fishing should be dead right now in the Smoky Mountains. With water temperatures in the low 30's the trout will be inactive. That will change, especially on Thursday. The high will be around 60 degrees and there is a good chance for rain. That will warm the water quickly. So, wait until Thursday to go fishing. The weekend looks pretty good for anglers.
Last night and very early this morning I spent my time looking at fly shop websites, mainly those that sell tackle online. That proved to be very interesting to me since I am in the process of re-designing ours. Right now I'm working on the store portion of the site. One thing I found interesting is, our color selection and design differs greatly from most of the others. Maybe I'm missing the boat. Maybe my design is not what people like. Maybe it does not matter. I don't know for sure, I'm not changing things now. Our look for the next couple of years has been defined. It's too late.
The Spring gear will be arriving in two weeks. That is a busy time around here. I'm hoping to be re-designing the fly pages by then. When the new patterns come in they will need to be photographed and added to the online store. Right now we have around 450 fly patterns on the store. I will remove some and add others. But, each page will be re-designed.
I will be starting on the Scientific Anglers fly line pages today. Right now there are only 8 fly lines in the fly line department, all Rio. I deleted all and started over. I think the Mastery Textured Trout Stalker will be a hit. I'll put that one on the site first. These textured lines offer similar performance as the Sharkskin lines, without the noise and "rough on the hands" texture.
Scientific Anglers is a great company owned by 3M. We have been a dealer for a long time. Now, they own Ross Reels too. I really like their fly lines and now, their reels.
Orvis fly lines are going to be sold in new packaging. The name is new too. They are called Hydros. We have some ordered and I'll need to photograph the new packaging. The spools from Orvis must be bio-degradable. They look like the same material used in the old egg cartons. They do look great and I can't wait to start photographing them.
Get ready for some Spring fishing again. It's coming soon to a river or lake near you.
Have a great day and thank you for being here with us.

Select items have different fabric choices available, price may vary depending on fabric chosen.
Pricing is "as displayed" in our showroom. Please contact us for more
information on this piece.
Leather match is an industry term that denotes different qualities of material used on different parts of an upholstered piece. Helping make the piece more affordable, top grain leather is used on the parts of the chair or sofa that touch your body, while a lower quality split-grain leather or color-matched vinyl is used on the back and sides. This is very common, especially for reclining furniture, and it doesn't change the sophisticated look of your leather upholstery.
Unlike recliners that are built with a two or three-piece seat and leg rest cushion, this recliner has a single chaise cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers fuller comfort and support for your legs, and eliminates the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.
100% top-grain leather covers the seating area and arm rests on this rocker recliner for an impressive and stylish chair for relaxing. Matching vinyl at the sides and back keeps the price affordable. A supportive back cushion with headrest cushioning and fully supportive head-to-toe footrest complete the comfort.Distance required between recliner and wall 12.00"

I purchased a projector from this company on June 30, 2014. I contacted them on July 2nd about shipping. I was told it was shipping that day. On July 6th I contacted them again about my order and was told that they would upgrade the shipping on my order that I had been told already shipped. On July 7th I demanded a tracking number. On July 8th I was provided a tracking number. On July 10th I contacted them that the order still hadn't shipped and I was told that if there update by the 14th that they would upgrade the shipping on a product that supposedly already shipped. I cancelled the order on the 13th as I was tired of being lied to. The about us page on their site says they ship within 2-3 days. Ha! It's not worth doing business with them.

Not gay. Unless you get all teary and shit.
Liking classical music is far less gay than liking dance music. Or dubstep.
Classical isn't my bag, but don't consider it gay at all. As above, it's Clint Eastwood compared to that Pendulum and Skrillex wububwub crap. Buying a Future Music ticket is effectively coming out of the closet.
I did my hair before going to Future and hooked up with a few random girls while there. Going from this thread I can't tell tell if I'm gay or not
I knew it. After all this, I'm actually not part of the '99%' that everyone keeps telling me I am
How is playing music to entertain people gay?
Some people are extremely simple minded.
Bieber, Jack Vidgen. They don't play instruments but do sing and both are extremely gay. Listening to them and liking them is worse though.
^ What if I love that 'Baby, baby, baby no...' song by Bieber but would be happy if that Vidgen kid wound up in a drug rehab clinic for celebrity preteens?
Gay or okay?
The two go hand-in-hand, so that would be fairly bizarre.
That's not music for a start.
Live music at pubs is awesome.
Nah man.
The way I see it, Bieber is a bonafide star, whereas Vidgen or whatever the hell his name is impressed a bunch of braindead Australians vegging on their couches across the country on a sunday night that he was worth wasting 55c on. His competition was a bunch of other hacks. He is now the poster boy for a shamefully bland commercial television station. Plenty to dislike there, I reckon.
But what do people have against Bieber? 'Thought you'd always be mine, mine...'. Great pop track.
none of those people make any music of a manly and invigorating quality. I don't care if the lyrics express their love for a woman. Its gay because its aimed towards teen girls and young males too young to know any better.
Now electric guitar music at the pub...
You're winning this thread.
ITT: Men telling other men how to dress.
Which isn't gay at all.
Great post
You got me worried now
Onine shopping. Spent $900 on clothes online a a month or so ago.
Completely serious.
Gay tendency: Noticing your hair always looks better a day or 2 before a haircut.
Posting on BigFooty.
I watch Glee..
Ok. We have a winner.
Says Mr Trendster Hipster
I don't think spending money on online shopping is a gay thing if you have something specific in mind. It's not like a girl just walking around a mall for 3 hours going in to every shop trying on everything and that.

JumpSport Trampolines Featured in
Click to Play Video >
A life-size game board? Check us in! That's what you will be saying when you hear about the Jump2It GameMat. Not only is it a game mat that fits on your trampoline, but it includes 22 games, game cards, a basketball hoop, six balls, four bungee cords, chalk and more. While you are having fun, you also can be learning. Some games include adding, subtracting, multiplying, telling time and other number work.
Our class tested this product, and we all agreed it was totally awesome for kids. Only one kid is allowed on the trampoline at a time, but it is worth the wait. Even though only one kid can be on the jumping pad, many games include large groups of kids participating, because they have to throw the ball from one side to the other. Some of our favorite games were jumbo jacks, keep out, and around the world.
We had tons of fun on the trampoline game board. We recommend it to kids 6 and older.

Hi all,
I have a user who receives calender invites that show the correct time in the email invite but when accepted the event is put in to the wrong time slot (normally an hour earlier). It is also worth noting that this invite is being forwarded to him not send directly. I got the invite forwarded to my account to test, but mine works fine.
Any ideas?

Waterfront thefts surface along the Barrington River
Barrington police are investigating a series of recent larcenies along the Barrington River.
The first incident was reported on Tuesday, June 4, when a Massasoit Avenue resident told police someone stole a 9-foot dinghy off his dock. The man told police that he had locked the boat to the dock through eye-bolt, but that someone had cut through the bolt and made off with the dinghy and its motor, which was valued at $2,700.
He had been out of town when the larceny took place, he said.
A short while later, a Henry Drive resident told an assistant harbormaster that someone had stolen a pair of binoculars from inside her family's boat. The resident said she had recalled an apparent break-in from last summer when a man in a low wooden skiff had entered the boat.
On Thursday, June 6, an Opechee Road resident called police after someone entered his boat, which was docked on the river at his home, and stolen a 10-gallon fuel tank.
Earlier this month a Knapton Road resident told police that someone stole a kayak and a hammock from her property, which abuts Hundred Acre Cove.
Barrington Police Chief John LaCross is urging residents to keep an eye out for their neighbors.
"If anyone sees people on docks who shouldn't be there, call us," Chief LaCross said.

Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog Temperament, Personality, Behavior, Traits, and Characteristics, by Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2016
One breeder says, "The Catahoula will not let you forget that you own a dog."
The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, often called "King of the Stock Dogs," really belongs on a farm or ranch, for he is a serious worker who goes about his business with tremendous focus and assertiveness.
This athletic, rugged dog requires at least an hour of running exercise each day. Without sufficient outlets for his high energy, he will become rambunctious and destructive.
Most Catahoula Leopard Dogs are reserved with strangers and naturally protective. Skittishness and sharpness can be problems in some lines, and Catahoulas need extensive socialization.
He can be dominant and pushy with other animals, especially with other dogs of the same sex, and doesn't always cohabit well in multi-pet homes. He can be possessive of his food.
Catahoula Leopard Dogs are independent and like to be in charge. You must be a confident leader or they will walk all over you.
Overall, this is a capable, versatile companion when allowed to fulfill his working heritage. Otherwise, he may not be happy and can be too much dog to handle.
If you want a dog who...
- Is medium to large, tautly muscled, and athletic
- Has a short, easy-groom coat with an unusual color pattern
- Is a serious working dog who thrives on vigorous exercise and goes about his business with tremendous focus and assertiveness
- Makes a keen watchdog
A Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- Vigorous exercise requirements
- Rowdiness and exuberant jumping, especially when young
- Destructiveness when bored or not exercised enough
- Suspiciousness or shyness when not extensively socialized
- Aggression toward other animals -- chasing instincts
- Strong-willed mind of his own, requiring a confident owner who can take charge
- Chasing and nipping at things that move: children, joggers, other animals, bikes, cars
A Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog
If I was considering a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, I would be most concerned about...
- Providing enough exercise and mental stimulation. Catahoula Leopard Dogs MUST have regular opportunities to vent their energy and do interesting things. Otherwise they will become rambunctious and bored -- which they usually express by barking and destructive chewing. Bored Catahoula Leopard Dogs can make a shambles of your house and yard.
Catahoula Leopard Dogs are happiest living on a farm or ranch and allowed to work stock. If you simply want a pet for your family, and don't have the time or inclination to take your dog running or hiking or biking or swimming, I do not recommend this breed. They were never intended to be simply household pets, and their working behaviors are inappropriate in a normal household setting. Trying to suppress these "hardwired" behaviors, without providing alternate outlets for their high energy level, can be difficult.
- Providing enough socialization. Many Catahoula Leopard Dogs have protective instincts toward strangers. They need extensive exposure to friendly people so they learn to recognize the normal behaviors of "good guys." Then they can recognize the difference when someone acts abnormally. Without careful socialization, they may be suspicious of everyone, which could lead to biting. Some Catahoula Leopard Dogs go in the opposite direction -- without enough socialization, they become fearful of strangers, which can lead to defensive biting.
- Animal aggression. Many Catahoula Leopard Dogs are dominant or aggressive toward other dogs of the same sex. Many have strong instincts to chase and seize cats and other fleeing creatures. If anything goes wrong in the breeding, socializing, training, handling, or management of this breed, it is capable of seriously injuring or killing other animals.
- The strong temperament. Catahoula Leopard Dogs are not Golden Retrievers. The best Catahoulas are versatile working dogs, capable of learning a great deal, but they have an independent mind of their own and are not pushovers to raise and train. Some Catahoula Leopard Dogs are willful, obstinate, and dominant (they want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them do things. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
To teach your Catahoula to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Catahoula Training Page discusses the program you need.
To learn more about training Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dogs to be calm and well-behaved, consider my dog training book, Teach Your Dog 100 English Words.
It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will make your Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
Teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do whatever you ask him to do.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a healthy Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog. Health problems have become so widespread in dogs today that this book is required reading for ANYONE who is thinking of getting a purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dog.
If you'd like to consult with me personally about whether the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog might be a good dog breed for your family, I offer a Dog Breed Consulting Service.
Once you have your Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog home, you need to KEEP him healthy -- or if he's having any current health problems, you need to get him back on the road to good health.
My dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy is the book you need.
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
Please consider adopting an ADULT Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog...
When you're acquiring a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog PUPPY, you're acquiring potential -- what he one day will be. So "typical breed characteristics" are very important.
But when you acquire an adult dog, you're acquiring what he already IS and you can decide whether he is the right dog for you based on that reality. There are plenty of adult Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dogs who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed. If you find such an adult dog, don't let "typical breed negatives" worry you. Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!

As a gentleman's staple, pomade has a good track record (see: Cary Grant, Elvis Presley, James Dean). But repeated daily use can leave anyone's hair a little stiff. This robust formula combines the soft, natural finish of a cream styler with the hold and shine of a pomade—lending a style that's nothing short of iconic.
This stuff really lasts a long time. It only takes a small dab to create a lot of hold. I love good products, but I'm also a tight wad. So, it's a constant struggle for me to find the right balance of what I'm willing to spend vs. what quality I'm willing to settle for. That is all to say: I don't normally spend $20 on pomade. However, one jar of this stuff will last me for months.
Also, for how well it holds, the finish is softer than I expected.
I also like that this stuff works great on slightly damp hair. That's super handy when I'm rushing to get out the door on weekdays.

The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is reported to have eaten Harisah, a dish with meat and pounded wheat as the main ingredients.
It resembled Haleem, a type of thick, spicy porridge. Harisah is a traditional Arabic dish, still popular at homes in the UAE and the most famous Qatari dish. Harisah found its way to South India with Muslim Arab traders in the 7th century.
It is a very popular dish among the Muslims of Malabar, India. In Hyderabad, India, Harisah is known as Haleem. Harisah is usually served in Ramadan and festivals such as Eid in Arab countries. In Kerala, India it is served as a starter before biryani at Muslim weddings.
This Harisah could be the origin of Haleem, a thick Persian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and North Indian dish which originated in Arabia. In Turkey, Iran, the Caucasus and Iraq types of Haleem are Keshkek and Harisah.
Haleem is made of wheat, meat (usually beef or mutton, but sometimes chicken), lentils and spices. It is slow cooked for 7 to 8 hours which results in a paste-like consistency, with the taste of spices and meat blending with wheat. Haleem is very popular in Pakistan and India.
Kichra is a variation of Haleem in Pakistan and India, but it's not blended so one can see and taste the chunks of meat. Haleem is prepared throughout the Muslim world in Ramadan. It is also a traditional starter at Muslim weddings and celebrations. Legend has it that it took nearly a week to make a perfect dish of Haleem.
Harisah seems to be the origin of Haleem and together are one of the Muslim dishes of choice across the world. They are part of the Muslim culture.

The Poetry of African American Invention: 'When One Door Closes Another Opens"
€ 23,49
Bisher € 24,79
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Februar 2005
BeschreibungThe myriad contributions of African-Americans in the context of the scientific and industrial growth of the United States have never been popularized. Beyond the names of George Washington Carver, Daniel Hale Williams, and Charles Drew, it is doubtful that many Americans or any age could name a single additional scientist of inventor of African American descent. The poems range from medium length to quatrains, from biographical to humorous. The biographical poems furnish a succinct look at the lives of the inventors, and most include the year(s) of their inventions. The humorous poems (such as "James Ricks") will appeal to children, with their brevity and unique rhyming schemes making them easy to memorize. Mary J. Session, Ph.D Historian

How To Get Sponsors For ATV Racing
In terms of representation, running a sponsor's sticker and saying thanks from the podium is a given. If you want to wow a sponsor you've got to offer a level of exposure or promotion that sets you apart.
More: How To Get Sponsors For ATV Racing on ATV.com
I'm a member of "Hookit" (website listed in the article) and it's helped me a lot in requesting sponsorships. When you start an account, you fill out an application which is used to submit sponsorship requests through the website. You will also fill out your events you have competed in and track your results as well as posting your practice sessions. There are alot of great reputable companies involved with the website. It's a great tool for racers at any level; especially with the tough economic times.
HookIt is a VERY good site! It's helped me alot! I've also had the chance to meet some very cool people on there. Another good idea is just go around to the local shops and ask them if they are looking for any riders to represent them. Our sport has plenty of good people that are looking to help someone who needs it. What does it hurt a shop to give you some stickers and a few parts off the shelf. It doesn't matter if it's $10 grips or $100 tires. Thats $10 you can put towards your next race. Every little bit counts in the long run. A 10% discount doesn't seem like much but it really adds up when your short on cash.

John Paul Young - 40 years of songs
24/09/2012 , 12:46 PM by Carol Duncan
In 2012, John Paul Young is celebrating 40 years in the Australian music industry with both a solo tour and another turn in the massive Long Way To The Top concert production.
John Paul Young was the child of one of the wave of British families that emigrated to Australia in the 50s and 60s, "I arrived at the age of just 11. I arrived with a three-piece Italian suit with cloth buttons and winkle-picker shoes, and within days I was sitting on the banks of Williams Creek in a pair of shorts. I was loving it, I didn't really understand the significance of why I was enjoying it but now I know I'd gotten my childhood back. Honestly, if I'd stayed in Glasgow I'd have been married at 16, divorced at 18 and working on the docks like Billy Connolly."
"I was too young for the older kids and too old for the younger kids so it really was an awkward age."
Ted Mulry, Bon Scott, Jim Keays, Colin Hay, Grace Knight, Jimmy Barnes, John Swan, Billy Thorpe, Doc Neeson - there's a long list of people who became a generation of highly successful musicians in Australia.
"I thank my Dad especially for having the intestinal fortitude to do what he did. They arrived here with 30 quid - that was it - after selling the furniture in Glasgow. In 1952 they were actually going to go to Canada but mum said, 'No, it's too cold.'"
Can John imagine doing a similar thing to his father? "Frightens the life out of me. The closest thing I've done to what my Dad did was move out of a very comfortable existence in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and move up here. I sort of did it backwards to what Dad did, I left a very comfortable house and everything elseand moved into a house that had no sewerage, no drainage, it was really back to basics."
John's early success was huge, but it wasn't easy, and led to his move to Lake Macquarie. "It was the economic conditions at the time. Being a muso, banks won't lend you money, so I was on a shocking interest rate of something like 22% when everything was going crazy back in the 80s and I just had to sell up and get out. My sister nearly kicked a syringe outside the place we were renting in Bondi and I had two young kids and I just thought, 'No, I'm not putting up with this anymore, I'm gonna leave town'. I don't regret it one bit."
The songwriters and producers who worked with John Paul Young were the legendary team of Harry Vanda and George Young of Easybeats fame and they delivered his first hit, "Pasadena". JPY's long-time keyboard player, Warren 'Pig' Morgan recalls that Vanda and Young also had a rough trot. "It wasn't all beer and skittles for George and Harry being out there with the Easybeats, I think they came back with $90 each after having a number 3 hit with St Louis - someone else got all the money - but while they're touring they're learning and bringing that experience back home."
John adds, "They were determined after basically being ripped off in America with St Louis, they were determined to get back on top. This time, they would make sure that any money that was made, they'd know where it was, they'd know how to account for it. They were in London in a flat trying to write songs, Pasadena was one of them, and they used to go to the rubbish bins outside EMI and pull out bits of discarded tape, take them back to their flat and put them through their tape recorder. They were some of the first guys to have drum loops, just get a bit of tape with some drums on and turn it into a loop."
Warren says, "They were open to good influence. They went and saw the Swingle Singers and to cut a long story short in Friday On My Mind you have a part that was inspired by that."

They did not provide the product correctly that I had conveyed through my communication with them - which I found out from a phone call the morning of my wedding.
