text: It's always nice to be recognized for what you do. Here at TV 5, we're patting our meteorologists on the back. It's not easy to be a weather guy or girl. " It's one of those jobs that I'm sure is a lot harder than it seems," said Jeremiah Gorman. It's tough, but someone has to do it. " Maine is extremely hard to forecast, so it really challenges us and make us work a lot as a team to try to figure out what's going on with some of these bigger storms," explained Todd Simcox. Here at WABI TV, our weather guys work hard, but they're not miracle workers. " There are people out there that I think believe we can flip a switch and the weather changes like that. I wish it were that easy," said Simcox. Sometimes, even the best get it wrong, and boy do they hear about it. " I wish I could be wrong all the time and still get paid," said Chris Ewing, describing what some people say when they get a forecast wrong. " Yeah, I mean, you hear that, and that gets a little old," added Simcox. Even though some people get upset, most are a bit more understanding. " I don't get mad at the weatherman because it's just not worth it," said Emma Pope-Welch. In honor of weather people everywhere, Tuesday is National Weatherperson's Day. " I didn't have a clue," said Ewing. " Had no idea. I found out during the morning show, Wayne Harvey mentioned it this morning," added Simcox. We're thankful for Todd, Chris, and Rob here at TV 5. " I think it's nice that we can all be nice to them on one particular day," said Gibran Graham. " They picked a rather cold day for it. It seems appropriate actually," added Gorman. " They're important. We watch them every day to figure out what's going on," said Pope-Welch. We didn't know what the perfect gift would be for our weather guys. " No one brought us cake, or pancakes. It's National Pancake Day, no one brought us pancakes," said Simcox with a smile. We're predicting a bigger celebration in the forecast for next year.

First problem that i had with the bank was the time frame in which i found out i had a bounced check. the letter was dated the 5th and they did not mail it till the 10th and i received it on the 13th. This then caused a chain reaction and i tried to explain to the lady at my branch - who was extremely rude and just kept saying they cant control the post office. I kept tryi g to explaine to her that it wasnt the post office as it was their own metered stamp. just kept saying i should of called the bank if i wanted to know my bank balance.
I brought my account current after 128.00 in charges for 2 checks bouncing and continuous overdraft fees fory account being overdrawn. my daughter had tried to help me by transfering money from her bank to my bank. Her bank then did 2 transfer tests to make sure it would link and then took the money back out. 1 transfer test was for .65 and the other was .35 Then my bank charged me an overdraft fee of 32.00 for eah transaction and started the continous fee again. so now im negiative -64.00.
I had put the amount i was overdrawn in the bank and it showed i had a pending overdraft fee, but i put the money in there before the end of tbe day and brought it current and tbey still charged me the pending fee even though i deposited the money to make it right!

Keep an accurate, up to date check register and don't attempt to "float" checks. Any checks written and debit card usage should be posted immediately and assure that any deposits have the funds available. Also, keep in mind that debit card usage for things like gasoline purchases incur a temporary hold of up to $100 to assure the vendor is paid. These will be credited back in a few days, after the vendors money has been received. This DIES affect you fund availability.
If you have continuing problems, ask the bank to help you manage your account. It would be worth it to you.
In over fifty years of banking, I've had NO bounced checks and no NSF charges. It can be done and it's relatively painless.
Good luck to you.

The Destination
The never-ending beachfront and laid-back resort vibe of North Carolina's Bald Head Island would be enough to entice any traveler; for weary commuters, the island's no-cars-allowed policy (which earned it a nod from CNN as one of the ten greenest communities in the US) really goes the extra mile. Ten thousand acres outlined with 14 miles of sandy beaches and an 18-hole championship-grade golf course make this secluded nearcation spot—dubbed the "Nantucket of the South"—feel oceans away.
The Digs
From waterfront views to light and airy individually appointed rooms, The Marsh Harbour Inn is the epitome of a fresh and breezy Escape. Queen-size beds—some with four-poster canopies—are surrounded with maritime-inspired country décor, and several rooms offer a separate sitting area and private covered porches. All offer private baths, indulgently outfitted with luxury linens and bath products. Take in the invigorating sea air from one of the open common-area decks or porches, and enjoy breakfast in the dining room or al fresco, overlooking the marsh.

Does anyone know how to turn the Lenovo Wireless on and keep it on.
Yes it has switch at the front and yes its turned on, but if for some reason the router goes off, the Lenovo wireless (presuming its not needed) turns itself off and stays off even if the router comes back on line again. You then have to hit a Fn+F5 to turn the wireless on again ! Its crazy.
How do I get rid of the infernal software switch and keep it on all the time. Of course IBM Support have no idea on this.

Crimeans have voted overwhelmingly in favour of breaking from Ukraine and joining Russia, according to the Russian authorities.
With over half the votes counted, 95.5 percent had chosen the option of annexation by Moscow, the head of the referendum commission, Mikhail Malyshev, said.
The news comes as Kiev accused Moscow of pouring forces into the peninsula and warned separatist leaders "the ground will burn under their feet".
Turnout in Sunday's vote was 83 percent, Malyshev added - a high figure given that many who opposed the move had said they would boycott the vote.
Western powers and leaders in Kiev denounced it as a sham.
Underlining how Moscow's military takeover of the peninsula two weeks ago has driven Russiaand the West into a crisis with echoes of the Cold War, Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama spoke by telephone and, according to the Kremlin, the Russian and U.S. presidents agreed on a need to cooperate to stabilise Ukraine.
"This referendum is contrary to Ukraine's constitution," a White House spokesman said. "The international community will not recognise the results of a poll administered under threats of violence and intimidation from a Russian military intervention that violates international law."
The Kremlin said Putin told Obama the referendum was legitimate and he expressed concern about the Ukrainian government's failure to stamp out violence against Russian speakers in the country.
"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin drew attention to the inability and unwillingness of the present authorities in Kiev to curb rampant violence by ultra-nationalist and radical groups that destabilise the situation and terrorise civilians, including the Russian-speaking population," the Kremlin said.
It said Putin suggested European monitors should be sent to all parts of Ukraine because of the violence.
Kiev said Moscow's build-up of forces in the Black Sea peninsula was in "crude violation" of an international treaty, and announced plans to arm and train 20,000 members of a newly-created National Guard.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Moscow that Washington would not accept the outcome of the vote in the region, which has an ethnic Russian majority and was transferred to Ukraine by Soviet rulers only 60 years ago.
The White House also warned Moscow to expect sanctions while foreign ministers from the European Union, which has major trade ties with Russia, will decide on possible similar action in Brussels on Monday.
But Putin rejected Western accusations that the referendum was illegal, saying it respected the will of the Crimean people, while his foreign ministry said it had agreed with the United States to seek a solution to the crisis through constitutional reform.
In Kiev, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk threatened dire consequences for the Crimean politicians who had called the vote, saying separatist "ringleaders" wanted to destroy Ukrainian independence "under the cover of Russian troops".

By Michelle Archer, Special for USA TODAY
For many of us, grocery shopping is a necessary evil. But for Stephanie Nelson, it's turned into a second career.
A former marketing professional, Nelson quit the workforce 15 years ago to become a "stay-at-home mom and the CEO of our family budget," she writes.
With the grocery bill making up a big part of that budget, Nelson figured saving money on food would help her family make it on one salary. So she took to the aisles for some "market" research, armed with a clipboard to record prices per unit to make comparison shopping between sizes and stores easier.
She learned how sales cycles worked — her store put chicken breasts on sale every other week, for example — in order to buy low in bulk. Store ads, a weekly meal plan, newspaper coupons, rebates and later, the Internet, all became tools in her budget-slashing arsenal.
In 2001, Nelson launched CouponMom.com to share her food-shopping savvy, then landed on Oprah. Now, with her latest book, The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half, arriving during an economy-inspired wave of frugality, Nelson appears to be cornering the market on strategic shopping.
"Nothing makes me more excited than showing others how to get a jar of pasta sauce for free by combining sales and coupons," Nelson writes.
Throughout the book, Nelson wisely recognizes that not everyone has the inclination or time to duplicate her legwork, so she tailors the advice in her book to three types:
•Busy shoppers don't have much time to plan, but they should check the store ad upon arriving, peruse the meat markdown bin and be brand flexible. They should also keep a full pantry and freezer to cut down on unplanned trips to the store.
•Rookie shoppers can save 40% to 50% by spending 30 minutes before shopping to plan a bargain-minded weekly menu around the store ad and by combining store coupons with manufacturer coupons to pay the lowest price.
•Varsity shoppers aim to save big, Nelson says, by spending an hour or more each week to cherry-pick the best deals across multiple stores to save 60% to 70% off full price. This shopper, Nelson says, prepares for a grocery-store trip like a soldier prepares for battle and travels with a coupon organizer like the president travels with the nuclear codes.
Beyond couponing, Nelson delves into store loyalty programs, compares wholesale clubs to big-box supercenters and even provides recipes for cheap yet nutritious meals such as healthy sloppy joes and homemade roasted vegetable pizza.
Though everyone can benefit from Nelson's tips and strategies, a minor quibble would be that not everyone can take full advantage of some of the deals Nelson describes. In my part of the country, food prices are higher than Nelson's in Atlanta and stores don't double coupons, making it difficult to achieve the type of savings Nelson does. Nelson also devotes several pages to bargain hunting with the loyalty program at CVS, a large drugstore chain with no stores in my area.
Bonus reward points go to Nelson, however, for encouraging readers to combine sales, coupons, promotions and rebates to buy items or get them free to donate to food banks and charities.
"Strategic shopping allows people to save enough on their own food that they're able to afford to buy items to donate," Nelson writes, going on to detail how to involve children in using coupons and sales to help out the less fortunate.
And her website's "Military Coupon Program" describes how to get expired coupons to troops, since stores and commissaries at U.S. military bases overseas will accept coupons up to six months after the expiration date.
With high unemployment rates and a weakened economy, the time is undeniably ripe for Nelson's supermarket savvy and willingness to share the fruit of her efforts.

The "Unthinkable" is Now Inevitable
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
The total destruction of Israel, something used by the Zionist lobby to bilk the US out of billions for years, is no longer a dream, it is inevitable. The only question is "when?" With it a limited world war may emerge with some surprises in store. It all started long ago but we can focus back one year when Israel murdered 9 Turkish citizens in an act of piracy, peace activists on an aid ship heading for Gaza. Aid ships heading for Gaza now get a military escort from the Turkish Navy and Turkey's president is heading for Gaza and Egypt now, to slap Israel down.
A year ago, Israel and Turkey were best of friends. Their spy agencies in the US shared nuclear secrets, sold them to China, North Korea, Pakistan, Brazil, worked as partners blackmailing half of Washington's army of corrupt officials and traitorous military officers. Patriotism in Washington is rare nowadays, considered stupid. Washington is all about "globalism" and "no borders," about corporations, not "America." To most in Washington, America is a joke, a bankrupt "has been" nation drowning in debt with a military now useless, spread across the globe running errands for a cabal of international bankers.
[youtube HVwpq1ujy4o]
Until a week ago, the Turkish Army believed it had control of Turkey, despite the elected government. Israel believed the same. They were wrong. A year ago, Israel believed Turkey would always be controlled because of their desire to join the European Union. Now that dream is considered hopeless. Who would want to join anyway, the EU is broke, falling apart and toothless. Turkey, instead, is an economic powerhouse, outdistancing all but Germany in technology, productivity and science.
Turkey also has a huge army, a mobile army and a military tradition of relentlessness and, to be truthful, cruelty. Israel has been pointing that out of late, how Turkey wiped out the Armenians, much as Israel is wiping out the Palestinians. Problem is, Turkey's army is big, highly disciplined, capable of supporting military operations across the entire Middle East, allied with Iraq, Iran and Egypt and considers Israel's killings of Turkish citizens last year as an act of war.
This leaves only America or Israel's nuclear weapons to protect them.
Paid stooges in Washington talk about Israel's strategic importance to the US. That's a dream, much as the strength of Israel's army is a dream. There are two strategic allies in the Middle East, Egypt with their control of the Suez Canal and Turkey with their control of the Bosporus, the only gateway to the Black Sea, something of immense value to the US. Turkey is also the gateway for oil from Central Asia and Northern Iraq.
Another factor is Kurdistan. Israel has controlled the PKK, the communist terror group that has killed thousands in Turkey. Israel is threatening to unleash them again. In meetings with leaders in Iraq, however, I was told that Turkish military actions against the PKK, even inside Iraq were welcomed. Kurds in Iraq hate the PKK and have long seen it as destructive. Northern Iraq is closely aligned with Turkey, their economy is totally dependent on Turkey, much more than Baghdad. Hopes for a Kurdish nation are dependent on good relations with Turkey and those relations have improved continually for some time.
One reality is the weakness of Egypt. The Mubarak government, including the military and intelligence services worked closely with Israel as did those of Turkey. It is Israel's goal to keep Egypt in line. However, with the killing of 5 Egyptian police and the protestors sacking the Israeli embassy in Cairo, that is coming into question.
Israel still has considerable resources in place in Egypt, particularly as we saw on August 11th, 2011, when Bush/Bechtel "envoy" David Welch met with Israeli and Gaddafi representatives in Cairo, at the Four Seasons Hotel, CIA and Egyptian spies in the room, planning bribes to be paid to journalists and "peace activists" in a last ditch attempt to save another Israeli ally, Gaddafi.
Thus, Turkey will be doing a "road trip" to gain allies against Israel and to flank US backing, blackmailing the US. As Turkey has nearly all US nuclear secrets, gotten through their spy partnership with AIPAC, something we were told of when I interviewed FBI informants within the Bush White House, they have things to trade. Turkey can turn out thermonuclear weapons quickly.
Israel's counter is their partnership with India. India is building long range ICBMs, capable of carrying 10 warheads, also capable of reaching the United States. Israel has requested 10 of those missiles, giving them the capability of hitting the United States with 100 hydrogen bombs. This is not conjecture, this deal with India has been confirmed, the weapons are being built with US technology stolen by Israel (and Turkey) and Pakistan has spies working inside every aspect of the project, no secret to anyone.
China is also aware and they believe they are a potential target of these Indian weapons. Thus, China is transferring advanced technologies, not only thermonuclear but advanced aircraft designs and missile technology to Pakistan.
In reality, from a military standpoint, India overshadows Pakistan by a mile.However, with the US in economic decline and dependent on China to buy US debt, betting against China and their close relationship to Pakistan is inadvisable. Pakistan represents China's foothold in Central Asia and their access to a port, Gwadar, in the Indian Ocean.
China is dependent on oil from the region and sees the Indian Ocean as an area of strategic value.Pakistan is taking advantage of that.Russia is laughing themselves to death. They helped set up America to fall in Afghanistan, payback for America's support of the Mujahideen and are enraged at the CIA and US military for its role in flooding Russia with cheap heroin from Afghanistan.
Heroin is destroying the social fabric of Russia nearly as much as drug profits that have infected the US political system have destabilized the US, left the Mexican border totally open and kept the US in Afghanistan as guardians of the largest opium den in the world.
The changes we will see?
Libya's new government is more than aware of Israel's interference on behalf of Gaddafi and will become a relentless enemy of Israel, despite false reports Israel has inserted into the "fringe media." Egypt is in play. Things could go either way, depending on how meetings go this week with Turkey.
With the UN vote on Gaza a given, the US will veto Palestinan statehood, Egypt and Turkey will be pushed together as US prestige in the region crashes.Israel's reaction under its repressive and reactionary Likudist regime, under attack at home for economic failures, one after the other, will be to push for military action against Gaza.
They may also wish to "play" in Lebanon, taking advantage of Syria's current weakness. This would be a mistake. Syria will not "go down in flames" like the Gaddafi regime. They are too vulnerable and will lose their place at the table, offset by Turkey, a nation that has an unpleasant history in the region lasting hundreds of years, a reputation Turkey is now trying to repair.
This could also go either way. Israel still has nuclear weapons. Their "nuclear advantage" in the Middle East is now likely to make them a target.
Turkey's army is more than a match for Israel, not even close. There is little expectation that Egypt will do more than posture as their military under Mubarak became a defensive force only, infiltrated, as is Turkey's, with corrupt officers.
What will happen?
Israel, with all its planning, its "possible involvement" in 9/11, its very proven involvement in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and its machinations in, not just Washington but Cairo, Ankara and other capitols across the region, is the big loser. Israel is now totally isolated and very much considered sacrificable by the US, despite continual pronouncements by members of congress otherwise.
When Israel had to turn against the Democrats, despite the fact that 79% of American Jews support the Democratic Party, and turn to the GOP and Christian Zionists for support, they bought "friends" they would never be able to trust.
For years, American conservatives were known to hate Jews, ban them from organizations, maintain "no Jews allowed" policies at resorts and "ritzy" neighborhoods, under the euphemism of "restricted."
Red States were always "no Jews or Niggers allowed after sundown."
This may not be taught in history books but it is real history just the same and the generation of American Jews that remember real antisemitism, not the phony "Abe Foxman" kind, know who their real friends are.Turkey, not Iran, will be forced to go nuclear. Turkey, however, is a long time American ally, a charter member of NATO and, at heart, very pro-American, pro-Western and, as it were, sitting on the world's most strategic real estate.
Turkey is also a relentless enemy, one Israel will be too stupid to apologize to, too stupid to make reparations to and will depend on its nuclear arsenal and friends in the US for protection.
Nobody will benefit from this, not the Palestinian people, not Egypt, only those who wish to see Israel have their faces in the dirt. There is a problem with this. There was some hope that Israel itself might have a rebirth of democracy, with 500,000 demonstrators demanding the resignation of Netanyahu's ultra-nationalist government last week, their was a hope.
The other big loser will be the United States. Pakistan will bring China into Central Asia. Turkey may well bring them into the Mediterranean or further.
Whether American's choose to recognize it or not, Bush murdered America's military future. Social cuts and job programs won't be enough. America will have to gut its military and withdraw from its bases around the world, that or economically die in less than 5 years.
The only other way out is "debt denial" which requires full cooperation from China and Japan. In light of these issues, these problems, Israel, that "small country" that has so much control over the US government will wake up one morning a forgotten "backwater" in world affairs.
Back in 1981, it looked like Israel would be a peaceful neighbor in a Middle East destined to move forward, maybe not to freely elected governments but at least to no longer be a sideshow for the Cold War.
There were lessons from 1981, when Jews visited Cairo as honored guests.
500,000 Israeli's, homeless, underemployed, say they can no longer afford, even with the billions America is giving them, to try to run the world from a few acres of sand, now farmed by foreign workers.
If Israel's extremist government continues its fear mongering, helped along by AIPAC and the ADL in the United States, Israel will not survive. Israel will not die alone, not by a long shot. The problem is that there is no political leader in Israel or within the Zionist community in the United States that seems to care.
The dreams of world domination, as some of us have always seen, never left room for the survival of Israel or any other nation.

this is what i dream about every night,the end of the Jewish race as we know it,lets pray Israel is stupid enough to attack Iran,they will have lit the fuse to their own demise..finally Israel will be wiped off the face of the earth..the middle east was always a bad place to call home
James P. Evanhoe
Could this be true? Based upon the points made for them to be true YES.
Remember when it comes to Oil Prices, War and Political Leaders, things
just do not happen…..they are absolutely "Let to Happen" or "Created",
but they just do not happen on this large of scale. But it wouldn't be just
the two leaders of Iran & Israel, Cheney & Bush would be involved as well.
Remember it doesn't matter to them how many civilians, families, children
are killed, or how many US Soldiers are killed. It is all about MONEY, their
perverted lust .
You are right the price of Oil is low, but Exxon Mobil Third-Quarter Profit
Tops $10 Billion on Crude Oil ..Bloomberg By Joe Carroll – Thu Oct 27
20:10:06 GMT 2011 Exxon's quarterly profits exceeded $10 billion for
three consecutive periods. "BUT"
Greed by all involved out weighs human lives. This would even help
Obama if the War lasted until the elections. Bush & Cheney are facing
criminal War related charges globally and will eventually be charged and
convicted right here in the USA. All have much to loses if Peace
continues. And believe me the Weapons Manufacturers would be
the first to sponsoring the Cocktail Parties to make sure WAR does happen.
GOOD WORK> Gordon Duff, Editor and Jim.W. Dean with Mike Harris
You could have just saved a million lives and huge gas hikes from
happening. This needs to go out to Everyone, Right and Left wing Blogs,
Your Congressman, Representatives. Remember who ever stood to gain from
this was absolutely involved, in fact they mostly recommended the War to
Iran and Israeli Leaders. There initials D.C. & G.B.Sr. and with B.R. blessings.
But to be real, none of them have the right to kill families and soldiers for their
political gain or for personal profit or their perverted soles. If this does happen
those who created it are no better than Hitler and need to be Charged Convicted
and Hanged,
That goes for Bush, Cheney and Rothschild, I be glad to pull the arm at the
gallows and see them all hang. If you really think about all the Wars they
have created around the World, our Nation is no better off. Bush, Cheney and
Barron Rothschild (perverts), beware your next in line to be hung, that's a promise!
James P. Evanhoe
I guess the next door neighbor of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was here
last summer and the two Israeli Massod Agents against War were right,
Dick Cheney, George Bush SR. & Barron Rothschild were planning a War
with Iran & factions inside of Israel! If they know where DC, GB & BR live
and they do, they will eventually get them! It is called what comes around
goes around….God in the End will kill them all!
and goverment decided to build two neclear plants suddenly in Turkey. all prerequisites have been met for for the plants. they are now being built, maybe that is related to the claims here
good night everyone!!! I tried to take a look what people have written, as to what has been said about Turkey. is nearly right but we have a democratic-islamic Leader in power, and he has huge support from great majority of people in Turkey ( I did not vote for him :b) . Things are not the same with Israil as it used to be in the past. Most people in Turkey hate Israil now, it is not because they killed the people in the boat but they support PKK in Turkey. now in Turkey PKK kidnaps teachers and bombs civilians. nearly everyday one innocent person is being killed. people think now 'Enough is Enough' Believe me They are ready for everything even for a war. in Turkey Israil is considered to be 'the spoiled Child' underprotection of US.
I do not claim what I have written is right or wrong, I just tried to tell you the atmosphere in my country.
Info ' Military (secularist) hate the president (islamic) in Turkey.
It's quite incredible to see so many people here with such twisted viewpoints – on both sides of this issue.
Really – get a life.

The country's second largest school district has gone meatless on Mondays. Back in November, the Los Angeles City Council passed a resolution that urges people to observe Mondays without meat, bolstering the profile of the Meatless Monday movement. The Los Angeles Unified School District has taken the recommendation seriously and no longer serves meat in its cafeterias on the first day of the school week.
Sure, students are free to brown bag it with a ham and cheese sandwich, but considering that the LA school district serves more than 650,000 meals daily, this is a sizeable meatless Monday initiative.
Whether you're vegetarian or not, this seems like it should be heralded as good news. The benefits from both an animal rights and an environmental perspective are straightforward. Perhaps less obvious though, is the potential influence that going meatless weekly will have on kids, exposing them to alternative foods and helping them understand that meat is not a necessity when it comes to a balanced meal. Given how deeply engrained our eating habits are, helping kids see alternate ways of eating early in life could be a very powerful influence.
And as we saw with recycling back in the 80s, kids are a powerful force when it comes to driving social change. When recycling programs were introduced in schools and kids learned the benefits of recycling, they went home and encouraged (okay, nagged... but clearly effectively nagged) their parents to get on the blue bin wagon. Recycling has since become so pervasive that most homes now have a rainbow of bins for all kinds of recycled materials, attributable largely to a youth movement decades ago.
Could eating veg be this generation's recycling? It's hard to say, but kids in LA are off to a good start.
Today, kids in LA schools were served a whole grain crust vegetarian calzone with a side of baby carrots and a fruit cup. I wouldn't say it's the healthiest option out there—one might hope that a vegetarian meal would feature vegetables a little more prominently—but it's a step in the right direction and on par health-wise with the other meals served up during the rest of the week (think pulled pork sandwiches and turkey burgers).
LA has long led the charge the healthier cafeteria options. They eliminated chocolate milk and even have a fruit and vegetable of the month. In March the vegetable of the month is brussels sprouts; arguably bringing the famously dreaded sprout into cafeterias is an even bolder move than going meatless.
Hopefully the LA district's meatless ambitions will catch on across the country, exposing more and more kids to a less carnivorous lifestyle. It might seem like a small step, but for hundreds of thousands of kids, it could be a very influential one.

Presenting false documents becomes one more crime that "Jose Illegal" has committed, possibly with the help of others.
As for potential employers looking into potential employees backgrounds, they already can do that, in many cases should do that, and I believe many do do that. Most jobs I've applied to the past decade or two have you sign a paper allowing them to do that before you are given a job offer.
I read all that and missed any suggestion you have to remedy the problem you see.
However I did see where you believe employers have a responsibility to verify a person is eligible to work, but you never said if you believe this to be a law.
Got any ideas on how to fix the problem?????

st: automatically adjusting for bias in antilog transformation?
Tue, 28 Sep 2010 10:39:15 -0400
Hi everyone,
I'm estimating a model of the following form: ln y = a + bx + cz + e,
which I assume to be normally distributed with heteroskedastic errors.
I would like to compute the average change in Y due to X, e.g.
E[Y|X=x] - E[Y|X=0]. I know that simply computing
exp(a_hat+b_hat*x+c_hat*z) - exp(a_hat+c_hat*z) will result in biased
I found how to do the correction for heteroskedasticity in SAS
(http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2008/370-2008.pdf) and I'm
wondering if there's a way to do the corresponding calculation in
Stata without a lot of manual manipulation of the variables (I also
have a lot of fixed effects in the model). If anyone knows a command
that can simplify the calculation, I would be very grateful!

"Like Poetry, fashion does not state anything – it merely suggests." – Karl Lagerfeld
When you are growing up geek, one of the main social issues is fashion, or in our case – lack thereof. Geeks, at least in my generation, were never ones to be on the front line of any fashion trends, instead crafting their own style or simply adapting to the trends a year late. While this behavior was frowned upon by the trendy kids, being individuals and true to our creative geekdom was much more important and the trendy kids could go stuff themselves. Then, at some point in between my teenage years and this morning, geek style became trendy.
I've talked about that conundrum before, in regards to geek style (and yes, I've reused that Lagerfeld quote), but this is more about what we did then. We made our own style. What geek hasn't dreamed of designing their own t-shirts and clothing? Hell, what teenage or college student hasn't dreamed up a line of silly or sarcastic t-shirts? We all have (or maybe we all haven't, I'm generalizing). The point is, especially with so many internet tools to do so, designing and selling your own line of smart-alecky and geek related t-shirts seems easy. But it's not. It takes more attention than us ADHD riddled geeks can give. Continue Reading "With J!NX, Geeks Shall Never Go Shirtless Again" »

I don't see anybody as normal, really. Everyone has their quirks that make them unique. It's just some people aren't appreciative of that. >_OAnd I don't hide my gaming... Influenza is a word. Of course, I don't draw attention to it either. Like, if someone asks, of course I'm all, "Yeah, I play WoW, it's fun." But I don't chatter off on em unless I know they're interested... Or I'm in the middle of new content: One friend of mine received a step-by-step update of my first Naxx. >_>
Normality is a POV.
I define a normal person as someone who I find uninteresting. Yeah, so you go out to a friend's place and get drunk off of cheap beer and then go back to working at Wal-Mart the next day. I yawn at your life and that is perfectly normal.If someone told me that they go abseiling or perform stand-up comedy on occasion, I'd find that interesting to a degree. They would therefore be just about as normal as a fellow WoW player or something else who actually engages in the same activities as I, meaning not normal at all.I tell other people that I play WoW if they ask about my hobbies, and I answer any questions they have about the game, but I certainly don't go about public places yelling out "I PLAY WOW!"
for me a normal person is some one that actually goes outside and socializes, but still play wow... like me lol i do sports and all that stuff and i play every once in a while.. but im not all obsessed over it and play 24/7... i do kinda hide my gaming because i might feel like a nerd for some reason....so i kinda hide WOW but other games im fine with because ppl know what they are.. most ppl i know have never heard of wow lol
I try not to hide my gaming habits at all. People who are looking closely at my posting history can find a picture of me playing Super Smash Bros. Melee on the big screen at my wedding.I also was the primary singer/songwriter in a blues band in high school. We actually got to open for half of the Kinks before everybody went away to college. I like to use that fact to pretend that I'm cool sometimes.
I am most definately not normal. Everyone I have ever talked to pretty much has called me weird or strange which is fine with me and then they usually walk away so normally I don't have enough time to get to know someone well enough for them to see my gaming habits. The only people who know I game a lot are my two friends who I do it with all the time.
Haha, I like both Queggy and Interest's posts a lot.If someone asks if I play WoW, I say sure. My girlfriend tells me I play too much, but I always remind her that between school, sleeping, and more school, WoW is my hobby. It's not my whole life, and so during my free time I choose to play WoW, as opposed to working on cars, or what have you, and then I kindly remind her that *she* was the one that showed me WoW. Prior to that, I thought it was stupid.Crazy eh?I'd like to think as well that no one is normal, but there are quite a few people who don't embrace there "crazy" side, and so we perceive them as boring and "normal"Edit: Grammar Nazi'ing Myself.
To put it lightly, even my friends and family call me crazy. But being insane is so much fun, who'd want to be normal anyway? :)Yours truly is responsible for some fairly ridiculous deeds, like pushing a car backwards through a Wendy's drive-thru at 11 pm (which elicited a stupefied look from the cashier that shall never be forgotten), getting all of his floormates agree to have a bunch of cardboard stand-ups in the elevator lobby on our dorm floor for a month (much to the dismay and amusement of the college, we did have to move them eventually), and watching people's jaws drop when I can actually say I have a level capped toon of every class, can play them all decently, and still have a geared main.
The only 'normal' that exists as far as people are concerned are social norms, and everyone skates around these norms in one way or another. If there ever is or was a person that was truly normal, they'd be so boring and unnoticeable no one would even notice. As for my gaming habits, I don't hide them. However, I don't have any gamer friends to talk about games with, and the people I can talk shop with either don't share my taste in games or, to be frank, are difficult to be around for all but the shortest lengths of time. Part of the problem is that everyone notices different things in a game - some catch the music, others the graphics, others (me) the story, etc. - but I'm also not really a full-fledged fan of any games (by which I mean the original definition of fan; fanatic). I enjoy them, but I don't get as into them as most gamers I know, which makes having an equal conversation tricky.And don't get me started on fanboys. Ugh...
I've been gaming for a long time, still got my old Nes that is still operational after all these years, not to mention my whole armada of systems and games that I still play to this day. Funny is the fact that I've killed 4 ps2 systems and 2 xbox systems and my ps1 is still alive.... I've had this machine a 3rd generation ps1 not the psone this system still has the serial port on the side... I have no shame of games because it has become a common place, I remember as I am sure a great many older gamers out there, When games was considered "geeky" or the like..And as a gamers during those times we had to sneak around. I am a fan of all games, I intend to collect all consoles because each system in those concepts always has a few good games to offer regardless of whom says what... I started WoW 3 years ago, and I talk about it all the time with like minded folks out there from the teens to 40+ year old. It's fascinating when people define the term "normal" Each individual tends to have their own view to what normal is. Yet rarely, unless like minded people talk about it and all, will a view of normality, be identical what so ever....So is there truly a normal person out there? Me personally, I have yet to find a true "normal" person, Thus far each person has their own unique attributes that make them who they are and writes a broad myriad spectrum of a personality. Internal and external means, games it seems has been integrated into the infinite collective of society, and has become more exceptablel in its own right.
Normal is relative. I am a merchant mariner and have a chance to meet people from all walks of life, some of which do also play WoW. A good majority of mariners are gamers of one kind or another, laptops and consoles are portable enough to take from ship to ship to keep ourselves entertained while not on duty.I don't now if we ever broadcast the fact that we're gamers, it's usually a surprise when we hear someone speaking about playing the same games on the ship. As we say on the ships, "whatever floats your boat."
Normal doesnt exist, everyone is 'normal' in thier own way. That's what makes us unique!
I never hide my gaming habits, or just my weirdness in general. Even if normality is relative, it is something I most certainly am not, and I'm happy with that. In fact, one of my friends said that I am like the comic relief of his life--when things get bad with him, he talks to me and usually cheers up (although sometimes just gets more $%^&ed when I don't take it or anything else seriously =P)
I've never hide my passion to wow, instead you can see me in facebook kissing a wow battle chest, well i am 17 so probably the word normal person will have another meaning to me, but analysing the situation as the thread said, i think that playing WoW wont allow us to be any kind of person, as an example me, i am always inside rich people yatches and mansions doing parties and i have a shaman with decent raiding and pvp gear and a decent arena rating, so dont blame wow the one who makes us far from normal.
in b4 Noxychu
IMO, being normal is being perfect, and since noone is perfect, noone is "normal" :)
To be perfectly honest, I would never hide my "gamer-ness". In fact, it would be almost physically impossible.I have a zelda tattoo across my chest, a horde symbol on my left calf, a D20 down my left forearm, and a Decepticon symbol on my right calf.Im a gamer through and through, its in my blood.

The Dream
[This was the last work of O. Henry. The Cosmopolitan Magazine had ordered it from
him and, after his death, the unfinished manuscript was found in his room, on his dusty
desk. The story as it here appears was published in the Cosmopolitan for September,
Murray dreamed a dream.
Both psychology and science grope when they would explain to us the strange adventures
of our immaterial selves when wandering in the realm of "Death's twin brother, Sleep."
This story will not attempt to be illuminative; it is no more than a record of Murray's
dream. One of the most puzzling phases of that strange waking sleep is that dreams which
seem to cover months or even years may take place within a few seconds or minutes.
Murray was waiting in his cell in the ward of the condemned. An electric arc light in the
ceiling of the corridor shone brightly upon his table. On a sheet of white paper an ant
crawled wildly here and there as Murray blocked its way with an envelope. The
electrocution was set for eight o'clock in the evening. Murray smiled at the antics of the
wisest of insects.
There were seven other condemned men in the chamber. Since he had been there Murray
had seen three taken out to their fate; one gone mad and fighting like a wolf caught in a
trap; one, no less mad, offering up a sanctimonious lip-service to Heaven; the third, a
weakling, collapsed and strapped to a board. He wondered with what credit to himself his
own heart, foot, and face would meet his punishment; for this was his evening. He
thought it must be nearly eight o'clock.
Opposite his own in the two rows of cells was the cage of Bonifacio, the Sicilian slayer of
his betrothed and of two officers who came to arrest him. With him Murray had played
checkers many a long hour, each calling his move to his unseen opponent across the
Bonifacio's great booming voice with its indestructible singing quality called out:
"Eh, Meestro Murray; how you feel—all-a right—yes?"
"All right, Bonifacio," said Murray steadily, as he allowed the ant to crawl upon the
envelope and then dumped it gently on the stone floor.
"Dat's good-a, Meestro Murray. Men like us, we must-a die like-a men. My time come
nex'-a week. All-a right. Remember, Meestro Murray, I beat-a you dat las' game of de

What is this liquid coming out of my tailpipes?
So here's the story...I've been trying to do the initial timing on my car all day.My timing used to be set on 14*(race shop set it there.)From doing some research I've come to the conclusion that my initial timing should be set to 8-10*.I set it at 8* and now I have all this water junk coming out of my tail pipes..I mean alot.I have a foot across puddle under each exhaust.What is this???It doesn't smell like straight gas??What is it?what is wrong with my setup.Is the carb set to rich? sbc 350-edelbrock performer 600,rams horn manifold-cast iron heads-weiand aluminum intake.Can someone give me some observations?thanks bm
Are you using antifreeze? If so, does the "water junk" smell sweet?
yes I use antifreeze.The water does have a weird odor.I wouldn't say sweet.what are you thinking?
Sweet smell usually means a coolant leak. I am guessing you have true dual exhaust so it wouldn't be likely, to have a leak on both pipes.
Do you have catalytic converters?
The water is coming out after the engine has reached operating temperature?
I have twin exhaust with h pipe.Not sure about op temp.I will let you know tomorrow.if it stops when it gets up to temp.thanks bm no catalytic converter
ps its a 67 nova
No converter and an H pipe....then you could have a coolant leak... I can't really understand why you would have water coming out your tail pipe(s) just because you lowered the timing a few degrees.
67 nova huh (?).....despite my username I must admit I like that year nova. Good luck...probably something simple
Doc here :pimp:
Let's get some info here.
First You indicate the engine is new Correct? Heads too?
Does it blow white puffy smoke out the back all the time?
Fill in the blanks and we 'll see if we can narrow it down for you...
Doc :pimp:
Water is a normal byproduct of combustion. Perhaps the change in timing has something to do with it. If you are loosing coolant from the engine, then that is the source. Other wise, i would suspect it is normal. Any changes in Humidiity in your area? Temp change?
I have seen cars pour water out the tailpipe that didnt have any engine leaks, it was buiild up in the muffllers from short trips. The engine never got hot enough to vaporize the water buiild up in the muffler.
Water is a normal by-product of combustion. If you are spending a good bit of time idling, it may be condensing in your exhaust system & spilling out the tailpipes. Kinda like Grandma's old 455 Bonneville did because she never pressed the gas pedal more than 1/8" down.
Taste a fresh drop of the water. If it's sweet, spit it out, it's coolant. If not, it's probably just condensation.
I'm sorry....this is not a new motor,the car is new to me.
I will answer your questions in order.
1.the motor is a 94 gm crate motor with 25,000 miles on it.
2.I had a temp problem for a while,it overheated twice
3.The oil is clean.nothing abnormal at all
4.it runs good,it idles alittle high..900 rpm
5.it starts right up
6.the fluid level stays the same.doesn't boil over
7.No white puffy smoke at all..never
I appreciate your thoughts and anyone else who wants to chime in.thanks bm
There was a huge temperature change today.Its been baking here for the last 5 days(90-96 degrees) and today it was 70 degrees.Something else I forgot to mention.....I just got 2 new flowmaster 40 series put on yesterday.I had the dynomax turbos.They were rotten.This probably doesn't have anything to do with my problem.Thought I should mention it though. bm
Re: What is this liquid coming out of my tailpipes?
I agree with you fully on the normal byproduct of combustion, and since I live about 25 miles east of Batman, I can attest to the fact the temperatures have soured the last 7 days here. triple digits with low humidity....where it's usually 68-75 normally..
But unless he's exaggerating a bit on the foot across puddle on each pipe, That seems a lot to be just normal condensation, unless he's got both muffler's Full of water.....
On normal condensation days here, I get a usual puddle under the pipes about the size of a silver dollar...and mild white clouds until it warms up. but never foot wide puddles..
My Vote's For a gasket somewhere gone south..
This just started happening today when I started messing with the timing.At 14* of initial timing this doesn't occur??Thats why i'm so puzzled?
timing change
I can't see that much change in water in a mild change of timing ... although.....ya never know...
Run it...Idle is one thing, driveabilty is another ...observe everything it does...If it don't heat up, doesn't detonate, boil over or run doggie... than it's all good...Long idles Do build up water...
Doc :pimp:
i have had puddles that big under my tail pipe when i start up my 66 early inthe morning... it normaly dont do it but every once and awhile i get a bunch. the puddle tho is more of a run (1/2 inch to an inch by a foot) if the puddle is like this i would say its fine.
yeah thats it.The puddle is more like a run...its about 1/16-1/8" deep by 1 foot... kind of a spray.I guess puddle was the wrong word.It was idleing a long time as I was setting the timing.I will run it tomorrow when I get home from work and tell you guys more.Thanks bm

Southland - Season 1 Episodes
Southland - Season 1
SOUTHLAND, a raw and authentic look into a Los Angeles police unit, from John Wells. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East L.A., this fast-moving drama takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families. John Cooper (Band of Brothers' Michael Cudlitz) is a seasoned Los Angeles cop assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (The O.C.'s Ben McKenzie). And although Cooper's harsh, tell-it-like-it-is approach often leaves Ben questioning whether he has what it takes to be a cop, he remains on the force.
"Unknown Trouble"
From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, this fast moving drama takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families. In the series premiere, seasoned police officer John Cooper and his rookie trainee Ben Sherman respond to a call that leaves Ben questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer. Meanwhile, homicide detectives Lydia Adams and Russell Clarke race against the clock in the search for a missing girl who may have been abducted. Gang-squad detectives Nate Moretta and Sammy Bryant hunt for a witness after an innocent victim is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. One of the witnesses, a teenage girl named Janila (guest star Carla Jeffery), seems unafraid to aid in their investigation, even though her cooperation might prove dangerous. Her information leads to a raid by burned-out police officer Dewey (guest star C. Thomas Howell) and his partner, Chickie Brown.
When officers John Cooper, Ben Sherman and Chickie Brown rescue a baby girl found crawling across the middle of an L.A. intersection, the hunt for her mother begins. Detective Lydia Adams finds herself affected by the search, taking a personal interest in reuniting the baby with her mother. Officers Sammy Bryant and Nate Moretta are unable to find the financial resources to put a juvenile witness in police protection after an attempt on her life and must now convince the district attorney to place her in a student police program. And back at the station, everyone gathers for a retirement party for Dewey (guest star C. Thomas Howell).
"See the Woman"
Ben reveals details of his past to the department therapist and to his partner, John, making the motivation behind his decision to be a cop clear. Elsewhere, Dewey (guest star C. Thomas Howell) causes a rift in his relationship with his partner when he becomes star struck by Timmy Davis (guest star Tom Sizemore), a famous, self-obsessed actor. But when he loses track of the actor, Chickie finds herself questioning her decision to take him on as her partner.
"Sally in the Alley"
Gang detectives Sammy and Nate have their work cut out for them when an unidentified female is found dead in the middle of a Los Angeles alley, her body being used for target practice by gang members. The tension mounts for Nate when his little sister disappears, revealing a secret from his past that blindsides Sammy. Meanwhile, Russell is offended by Lydia's suggestion that he has been too personal during a consult with a victim's sister.
"Two Gangs"
After a car accident involving alcohol, Detective Salinger has his gun stolen by gang members. Sammy and Nate assist in the search for the weapon without calling it in, only to discover gangs are equipped with enough assault weapons, bullet-proof vests and military tactics to become a powerful urban street army. Elsewhere, still preoccupied with her personal life, Lydia is caught off guard when a man surprises her outside her home.
Lydia and Russell investigate jewelry thieves who have been robbing Bel Air homes. Ben discovers that he knows one of the home invasion victims and finds himself breaking police policy by becoming personally involved. And gang detective Sammy decides to ensure the safety of a key witness (guest star Carla Jeffery) in a gangland trial by taking her to his home. John Heard guest-stars as Ben's father.
The day takes a turn for the worse when officers John, Ben, Chickie and Dewey (guest star C. Thomas Howell) find a gang member dead in a trunk outside Dodger Stadium. Meanwhile, Sammy convinces Lydia to take in Janilla (guest star Carla Jeffery) in order to ensure her safety. And Sal becomes increasingly frustrated with his growing rift with his teenage daughter.

Some 40 years ago, Alabama head coach Nick Saban was a low-paid football assistant at Kent State where he had to drive a Coca-Cola truck in his spare time to make ends meet. Fresh off his fourth national championship in the last decade—his Crimson Tide walloped Notre Dame last night to claim college football's crown—Coke Zero has been quick to point out that particular detail of his sporting journey in a TV spot that's already running on ESPN, in various local markets in Alabama and as an online video.
During the 30-second spot (available below), a voiceover by the coach's wife, Terry Saban, explains how her husband has proved critics wrong against a backdrop of autobiographical images from their marriage, his playing career and his coaching highlights. Dubbed "It's Possible to Enjoy Everything," the ad was produced by Atlanta-based marketing agency Melt.
Coke Zero's clearly jumping on the 'Bama success story on the heels of last night's game, which drew a 15.7 percent overnight rating on ESPN—a 14 percent increase over the Crimson Tide's national title matchup versus Louisiana State last year.

Planning a wedding on a budget requires creativity to ensure that you save money as much as possible, while still achieving a beautiful wedding. One area for potential savings is with your invitations. While professionally printed invitations, reception cards, and reply cards will usually cost you at least $3 each plus postage, you can make your own for a fraction of the cost!
Do some research:
Start by looking at pictures of wedding invitations online for inspiration. When I did this, I found that one of my favorite styles was layering, with a sheet of white or off-white paper glued or tied with ribbon to a sheet of card stock of a different color. This style is simple to create on a tight budget that still looks elegant.
Shop savvy:
Craft stores and other retail outlets should have a variety of specialized cardstock that will suit your needs. Try shopping online for your papers, you can find really great deals and online coupons that might not be available in store. Purchase colored card stock in the color you want for the back of your invitation and cut it to a size that fits in the envelopes you want to use for the invitations.
Get great tools:
A good paper cutter really helps with this process. If you don't have one, you can usually find them available for use at copy shops. If you need to order it, be sure to check shipping quotes so that your overall cost still fits into your budget.
Design and Layout:
Format the text of your invitation to fit on a page ½-1″ smaller in each dimension than your large pieces of card stock. (For example, your cardstock pieces might be 4″ x 6″ and your smaller paper might be 3″ x 5″.) The paper for this part should be more delicate and fancy. Once you have the text right, print a test invitation to see how it looks on the paper and cut it down to the right size. A basic laser printer at home is the easiest and least expensive way to print invitations, but you can have them done at a copy shop if you need to.
In addition to the invitation, you will probably need to create a reception card as well. This card, usually about half the size of your invitation, tells your guests where the reception is taking place. You can also include hotel information or a wedding website on the reception card, which you should print on paper that coordinates with the main invitation.
Don't forget the RSVP:
Many couples include RSVP cards in their invitations, but this is an added cost because of the cards and envelopes, especially if you pre-stamp the envelopes. One alternative is setting up a free wedding website where guests can RSVP online. Just say "RSVP at www.weddingwebsite.com" on your reception card. Alternately, give an RSVP phone number or email address.
The last step is to create an assembly line to put together your invitations. A piece of double-sided tape across the top of your page with text is the easiest way to hold it to the colored card stock. Another idea is to punch two holes through both layers of the invitation, near the top, thread a piece of ribbon through and tie it in a bow on the front. Stuff your envelopes, stamp and address them, and you are ready to go!
Mailing and postage:
One final consideration before digging in on your project is the cost of mailing your invitations. Before finalizing the paper, envelopes and contents of your homemade invitations, take a completed test invitation to the post office to see how much it will cost to mail. If your invitation weighs more than one ounce, you will have to pay an extra 20 cents in postage to mail each one. While 66 cents in postage doesn't seem like a lot, it can quickly add up, particularly if you're planning a big wedding.
If you're willing to invest the time and energy into DIYing your wedding invites it really can save you a good bit of money! Best of luck in your wedding planning!

Where I stayed
On a boat
We set off for Halong Bay that was a 3.5 hour drive. Ha long means 'where the dragon descends into the sea'. The legend says that the islands of Halong Bay were created by its flailing tail, gouging out valleys as it ran towards the coast; they seem to like mystical stories over here and don't believe too much in science!
After Bev and I had slept most of the journey, we arrived at a harbour with dozens of ships ready to set sail round the islands. Our tour guide (Son) led us to our nice, comfortable Junk boat that would be our home for the next few days
We boarded and were seated straight away for our fresh sea food lunch. As the squid, giant prawns, clams and river fish were being served with rice and vegetables, the American couple decided to sit with us. Bev was already thinking lunch was bad enough with all the sea food laid out before us but now it had got slightly worse. We exchanged pleasantries, this was brief as I was eager to get stuck into the feast and thought that they (Julie and Shawn) were the most stereotypical American couple we had ever met. Bev was extremely brave trying all the food and even quite enjoying most of it.
After lunch we all went above deck as we were sailing to our first cave. We were surrounded by 000's of islands rising from the clear emerald waters for as far as the eye could see, this was undoubtedly the greatest view either of us had ever seen. The boat continued through these waters for a few hours before we arrived at the 'Surprising Cave'. The weather had turned a little misty now but the views were still great.
We spent an hour going through this very large cave with an English speaking tour guide this time. There were plenty of images that could be seen in the rocks if you used your imagination, sadly I could see very few of these even with Bev pointing them out
We reboarded the boat and cruised round the islands for another couple of hours stopping off at a lovely beach for a swim. I spent the next hour diving off the roof of the boat with an English guy (Ross) and 3 Aussie guys (Ben, Simon, Shawn). Bev was swimming around with a nice Aussie lady (Judy). By this time it was starting to get dark and dinner was almost ready. We moored up at a spot between some islands where there were about 12 other boats all moored.
Dinner was mainly sea food based again but there was also plenty of chicken, rice and vegetables. We had decided to sit with Judy and her husband to avoid the Americans.
After dinner we sat up top with our new friends till about 11.30pm drinking the local booze they had on board. One thing we all found rather amusing was that there were 4 small row boats going in between all the moored boats trying to sell you Pringles and Oreos. There we were miles from the main land with the most breath taking sun set, only to have it ruined by these ladies shouting up to us 'You buy Pringle, You buy Pringle now!'
The next day we arrived at the biggest island in Halong bay for a morning of cycling
We all stopped for a drink and parked our bikes, the humidity was incredible so all were very sweaty by now, the next part of our trip was on foot and through rain forest like conditions. Our guide then decided to tell us that on this island they had bears, cobras and poisonous spiders, not sure we would have got off the boat had we known that!
We trekked along for a while with our guide at the back. He called us all back to where he was and asked us all to look up. We had just walked under the biggest cobweb I have ever seen, it was crossing the path overhead and must have been 10 ft wide!!! We then saw what had created this monster web, it was a monster, very poisonous spider and it was at least as big as my hand!!! Everyone decided to move on quickly and paid no interest to the stick insects that were all around us. We found another very old cave that we explored by the tour guides shit torch. I was not enjoying myself as Ross kept tickling my neck with a branch, I was convinced giant spiders were falling on me in this pitch black cave
We left the cave and headed back to our bikes. We had to cross under the spiders web again, the spider had now moved and was sitting in the middle of its web across the path. Everyone walked under it keeping a close eye on it. As Bev went under, it decided to sprint across its web back to the tree, Bev screamed and ran out of sight leaving me to cross under the web on my own (at this point I wish you were there mum!) I crossed under and decided to pick up a branch and would spend the rest of the journey tickling Bevs neck in revenge for leaving me to face the beast!
Now back on board we set cruise for a valley where we would spend the afternoon kayaking. We went to Monkey Island but much to Bevs disappointment we saw no monkeys! 2 hours later and now quite tired after the cycling and kayaking we stopped for a swim off a small island on our way to our hotel. We look over at the beach only to see 5 or 6 monkeys sitting there with some tourists. We dive off the boat and swim for island for a closer look. As we start getting a little closer to the beach we see some stupid American getting quite close to one of the babies. The large monkey decides to chase him into the sea which was very funny! What was not so funny was his even stupider friend who went to rescue him kicked the large monkey, it jumped up and bit him on the arm
Back on board the boat we finished our journey to our hotel where we had a pretty crap dinner. We then went out on the local town with the other Aussies we had met (Torie, Gabrielle, Scott, Makka, Jay and Kylie) to sample more local drinks.
It was a early rise the next morning as we had to head all the way back. This was about a 4 hour boat trip followed by the 3.5 hour bus ride.
We arrived back at our hostel at 4pm and had agreed to meet everyone at 6.30pm for dinner and drinks at a near by restaurant. We had a lovely meal and then hit the streets of Hanoi where I was brought many many drinks as it was my birthday the next day!
The next morning we awoke feeling a little worse for wear but had to pull ourselves out of bed as we were meeting a few of our friends to go and visit the local dog market. After much searching we never found it, probably a good thing!!
Today its raining!!! Still hot and humid but plenty of rain! We head off tonight down south for the city of Hue!
We are having great difficulty up loading photos so are only putting a few on, we will upload more once we find a decent internet connection!
Hopefully Hue will be as enjoyable as Hanoi as we have enjoyed our time in the capital and met some good people who we shall be meeting latter in our trip.
You all be pleased to know its raining in Hue aswell!
Love to all and good luck to Arsenal tonight!!!

You never have any negatives about anything you review. Makes them seem quite unrealistic.
Ree ReallyRee May 13, 2012 at 12:29 pm #
Hi Nina
That's because I always tell my readers about the things I love.
I test out tonnes of products that I don't recommend and don't make it on to the blog.
Ashley Turner May 13, 2012 at 11:11 am #
I was just looking at that yesterday…might have to try it – I love Melvita!
Misstickle May 13, 2012 at 2:22 pm #
Why would you want to try something based on a negative review? I'd rather somebody tried a product and raved about it, I'm more inclined to try it/buy it.
Princess PolkaDot May 13, 2012 at 2:36 pm #
I have had similar comments! Although if you filled your blog full of negative posts people would complain too!! My opinion is you blog is amazing, I think this is reflected in the amount of followers you have 🙂
Ree ReallyRee May 13, 2012 at 2:49 pm #
Thanks everyone. I do understand Nina's point but blogging is a very positive affair for me! xxx
Nina May 13, 2012 at 5:09 pm #
I understand now what you mean about only blogging about the products you end up liking.
What I had meant is that usually unless you absolutely adore something there are pros and cons to things.
Its good to be aware of a persons cons on an items because actually for another person that might be a really good thing for them, something they've been looking for e.g. if someone found am exfoliater that has no bits and feels like its doing hardly anything- that might he a fail for the blogger, but a reader might thing yes that seems really gentle I want to try that etc
I wasn't suggesting that Ree should totally slag off the things she reviews or have a blog that sounds like its from the great depression. I like this blog, you include a lot of comparison pics which are really useful.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has held informal talks with the Football Association and the Premier League over reducing the workload on players.
Blatter would like domestic leagues to be a maximum of 18 teams - ideally 16 - but FIFA have no power to enforce this.
Blatter said: "You have an FA Cup and a League Cup and still the old tradition of replays [they were scrapped for the Carling Cup].
"This was mentioned in a meeting with the FA and Premier League. If there were no cup replays you can have 18 teams.
"We want to make sure there are not too many dates for national competitions. We should have between 43 and 47 dates for domestic football. Players should not play more than 60 games a year."
Blatter, who attended the Fulham versus Manchester United match on Saturday, confirmed FIFA would take no sanctions against Arsenal or United if they reach the FA Cup final on May 22 and did not release players for the France versus Brazil centenary game on May 20.
Though FIFA will sign an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency for testing procedures later this month, WADA have backed down with their automatic two-year ban for drug cheats. Each case for anyone found guilty will be dealt with individually.
The much-maligned Club World Championship will restart in late 2005 - and not in Japan as FIFA first indicated - involving the champions of all six confederations. The championship will replace the Intercontinental Cup - Europe versus South America - and be held annually.
Meanwhile, the International Football Association Board, who comprise four members of FIFA and one each from the four home nations, has stipulated a maximum of six substitutes for friendly internationals.
The IFAB also gave their reasons for abandoning the silver and golden goals, claiming it unfair that under the golden goal ruling a team could kick-off for extra-time and score without their opponents touching the ball.
Police and stewards also need to prepare for a crowd leaving the stadium. The new regulations will come into effect after Euro 2004.
From next season players will also be cautioned for removing a shirt when celebrating a goal.
David Dunn, Birmingham City's £5.5million midfielder, will be out of action for at least six weeks after tests confirmed he tore his hamstring against Sunderland last Wednesday.
Chelsea are close to striking a deal which will effectively lead to Dutch side PSV Eindhoven acting as their nursery club, according to reports yesterday.
Striker Neil Mellor, 21, returns to Liverpool today after his season-long loan at West Ham was cut short. He scored just two goals in 16 League appearances.
