Yahoo has confirmed the $1.1bn buyout of blogging service Tumblr, with the online giant promising "not to screw it up."
A deal repeatedly mooted in recent days, Yahoo has today formally confirmed it has acquired the fast growing media network Tumblr, with the two parties coming to terms on a $1.1bn (£724m) takeover that will see the blogging company continue operating as a separate business.
"Yahoo! Inc. and Tumblr announced today that they have reached a definitive agreement for Yahoo to acquire Tumblr," and official spokesperson for the company stated.
They added: "Per the agreement and out promise not to screen it up, Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business. Dave Karp will remain CEO. The product, service and brand will continue to be defined and developed separately with the same Tumblr irreverence, wit, and commitment to empower creators."
A deal that had been on the cards for some time, Yahoo has confirmed acquisition of Tumblr at a point where the blogging service has more than 300 million unique monthly visitors and is achieving a hefty 120,000 new signups daily.
With Tumblr bringing 50 billion blog posts to Yahoo's media network and search engines, the media service is set to benefit from access to Yahoo's personalisation technologies and search foundation, helping create a more well-rounded experience for users.
"Tumblr is redefining creative expression online," Marissa Mayer, Yahoo CEO said. "On many levels, Tumblr and Yahoo! couldn't be more different, but, at the same time, they couldn't be more complementary." She added: "Tumblr is the Internet's fastest-growing media frenzy."
Sharing his view on the takeover, Tumblr CEO David Karp added: "Our team isn't changing. Our roadmap isn't changing. And our mission — to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve — certainly isn't changing. But we're elated to have the support of Yahoo! and their team who share our dream to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas. Tumblr gets better faster with more resources to draw from."
One of the world's fastest growing media networks, Tumblr currently records around 900 posts every second, with a staggering 24 billion user minutes spent on the site every month.

Dominic Harrison is joint director of public health for Blackburn with Darwen council
We need to de-commodify public services: even some of the voluntary sector has fallen down this hole. The role of social organisations, including local government, should be to mobilise all of society's resources to meet citizen needs – not to be a provider of services for a passive group of recipient consumers. This model does not work. It is de-powering, as co-production creates citizens rather than consumers. Deciding what to procure is more powerful than deciding what to consume from a list provided by someone else and is now financially unsustainable.
Adult social care is a ticking timebomb: This is because of our social, political, cultural and economic attitudes to older people, not because of local government's care failures alone (although there are some). The challenge for us all is to find a new model of care. We can learn a lot from South Asian countries and rural French villages in this regard. Social care is a community responsibility not a service commodity.
Alyson Morley is a senior adviser for the Local Government Association
There is the potential for real system change: It is not simply a question of 'lift, shift and drop' of the public health workforce into local government and carrying on as before. We need to find new ways of achieving lasting health improvements and reducing health inequalities.
On health and wellbeing boards (HWB): There's no doubting councils' commitment to making them work. Over 90% of all upper-tier councils signed up to join the Department of Health's early implementer programme and many are well advanced in building new relationships with public health, GP commissioners and community organisations to identify priorities for health improvement and put in place joint health and wellbeing strategies. The LGA has a HWB leadership support programme active in all regions of England to identify best practice and to support other HWBs to drive forward health improvement.
The crucial starting point will be the joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA): Up until now, some JSNAs have been rather dry and statistics-heavy documents that don't echo community concerns about their health and wellbeing. Now that HWB have the responsibility for developing their JSNA, it gives us a real opportunity to ensure that softer issues, such as loneliness, isolation and fear of crime are recognised as potential barriers for many people. The JSNA should be seen as an ongoing process for engaging the community in a dialogue about their health concerns, the health profile of their area and how best to use resources to meet these challenges.
Amy Whitelock is a policy and campaigns manager at mental health charity Mind
The changes are good for mental health: Mental wellbeing is impacted by many of the policies delivered by councils – for example access to green space, decent and affordable homes, community and leisure opportunities and employment support. There is a real chance to achieve better integration of physical and mental wellbeing within public health through this system change.
Third sector organisations have a role to play in helping to deliver public health interventions: But they are also a crucial source of advice and expertise for local authorities - involving groups like local Minds and others in planning for joint strategic needs assessments or providing input to the health and wellbeing boards can help councils assess need and priorities, as voluntary sector organisations are generally very rooted in their communities.
Edward Davie is a Labour councillor, chair of Lambeth council's health scrutiny committee
Broaden the definition of public health: The priority for local government decision makers should be to ensure that all of the council and their partners make the health of the population the guiding principle. If people are unhealthy they are unhappier, less likely to be employed, parent well or take part in the community and are therefore much more expensive for the local authority and the NHS. If we use health and wellbeing boards to coordinate these efforts with housing, licensing, education and the rest we can make a real difference.
Mental health is a priority: If we get mental health right, sort out the causes, other areas, the symptoms, the rest will fall into place. People with mental health conditions, for example, smoke 42% of the tobacco consumed in the UK. In all areas we need to empower people to take responsibility for their own lives by creating an environment conducive to making good choices and then encouraging people to work together to improve their lives.
Jim Thomas is Skills for Care's programme head for workforce innovation
Citizenship is really important: With citizenship comes responsibility and making sure that people have the knowledge and skills to take control of their own lives is just as important as the theory. If we want people to play an active part in their local community and feel empowered as citizens, we need to understand the skills that they already have to do that and what skills they need support to learn in order to be successful.
Dr Paul Edmondson-Jones MBE is director of public health for Portsmouth
Staff are optimistic about changes: It is too early to know about job losses (or gains) as this is not about simply lifting an NHS service and plonking it into a local authority. We need to start with the functions that are transferring and work out what skills and structure we need to deliver those functions in the new environment. Morale is generally good as there is lots to be excited about - but of course there is anxiety about jobs and pay.
Budgets: We should not get side-tracked by concentrating on and worrying about the ring fenced budget for public health. The holy grail is to be able to influence the other £500m that the council spends on other things.
Vee Roberts is a marketing consultant
Councils need to work closely with the local community: Clinically-led commissioning is a continual process of analysing the needs of a community. This is a collective effort - not led by local government alone - with clinical commissioning groups, local authorities and other organisations working together to plan and deliver better integration of local services. The goal is to ensure that communities enjoy the highest quality responsive, affordable and personalised services that are shaped directly by the people who use them.
Daria Kuznetsova is a researcher at the New Local Government Network
Language is definitely a significant barrier: There are people in the local government sector who still don't understand many of the acronyms that the NHS churns out and vice versa. Regarding organisational barriers, there is also often a lack of a shared dedication to the local population and place, due to top down organisational accountability structures. As someone put it recently: "After 10 years of working between the NHS and local authority, I've started saying I work for Leeds".
Empowerment is key: As LINK/healthwatch representatives won't be able to understand the technical language of the HWB, they might be less likely to voice their views and more importantly, unable to feedback the information to the public. Therefore one of the tasks of public health is to work with councillors to enable non-professionals to engage in the debate on an equal par with clinicians.

Enrique Iglesias Kills It At KIIS-FM's Jingle Ball
Photo Credit: Brian Friedman
Multitalented Latin sensation Enrique Iglesias owned the stage at KIIS-FM's Jingle Ball.
He demanded the crowd's attention throughout the set, staring angrily at anyone he caught sitting down.
At the peak of his performance, Iglesias told the crowd to put up their hands as he kicked off his hit "I like it." That song revamped Iglesias' career in 2010 and steered him away from his softer hits like "Hero."
He was pushed into electronic dance music (EDM) and has since been creating party songs that combine both his Latin flavor with the thumping bass of electronic music.
"I Like It" made everyone put up their hands as balloons fell from the top of Staples Ceter.
Iglesias would not let up. He jumped in the crowd to get every last person in the building out of their seat.

Liner on bottom of vehicle
Wow. I did something very stupid. I was trying to make a left while going into a lot and didn't clear a damn curb. YES. .... I ran over it and my car was hanging in the curb. I had two choices:
1. Get a tow truck to pull me off
2. Hit reverse and hope for the best.
Well, I chose 2!!!!!!!
The damage was not as bad as I thought. There is some type of liner under the entire car which was ripped but not too bad. I'm thinking of having the dealer replace it. Do any of you think there is anything under the car that will get damaged if hit by water. I'm not sure if the plastic liner protects any electronics under the car (it would be stupid to put any electronics under the car)..

Fast Retailing Co. said sales at its mainstay Uniqlo casual clothing chain in August grew 28.9 percent domestically from a year earlier on a same-store basis, extending the rising streak to a fourth month.
Thanks to the high summer temperatures, AIRism functional underwear and other summer items to help customers stay cool sold well, the company said Tuesday.
The number of Uniqlo customers jumped 33.4 percent, up for a seventh straight month, also thanks to sales drives for home wear based on traditional "steteco" short pants.

I've been thinking about what makes a magazine great.
When I was a young teen, I was into Car Craft. That magazine was epic with some amazing tech and how to articles. I recall a two or three part article on body work that had me checking the 7-11 mag stand a couple of times per week for the next issue.
As epic as it was, decades later when I was cleaning out stuff I left at my parents house, I found that stack of Car Craft. I flipped through a few of them and found them not as great as I remembered. One, in particular, had an article on a restoration process that, years later, we have come to know wasn't the most reliable process. In fact, I recalled an article that recommended laquer over enamel paint (maybe that was appropriate back then).
It seems to me, part of what made that magazine great was my lack of experience and the wide-eyed enthusiasm I had during my teen years. I'll bet a lot of more experienced car guys found the magazine unexciting.
Has that happened with Performance Boats? Does it seem less exciting because most of us are older, have been in all sorts of boats, maybe even owned a few, and are much more difficult to impress? In this case, I suppose I am considering the Hot Boat to Performance Boats continuum as a single entity.
I guess I am questioning how we judge the magazine. I still enjoy it but I wonder how much the content has changed since the first Hot Boat article I read and how much I've changed since then.

I had a rhinoplasty performed by another surgeon in Beverly Hills and my nose was left totally destroyed. It had a bump, it was crooked and the tip was nearly completely removed. I interviewed five different plastic surgeons before I met with Dr M and he was the first doctor that actually listened to me. During my consultation he spent an hour talking to me and reassuring me that he could fix me. He was the first doctor to give me hope that my nose could even be fixed.
He performed the surgery on a Wednesday and I was back to work the following Tuesday!! I cannot even put into words how happy I am with the results. I look better than I could have ever expected. I thought I would never want to look in the mirror again. I had not gone on a date in over a year. He changed my life. I am now dating again and I absolutely LOVE my new reflection.

Mopar stalling at 55mph
My 64 Dodge died while cruising at highway speed. It just sort of sputtered out like it ran out of gas. I pulled to the shoulder and looked under the hood. The car has an electric fuel pump and a Holley carb. The pump runs and I had a good squirt at the nozzles. Got back in and it fired right up. 1 minute down the road and it does it again! Back on the road, and it does it a 3rd time, but this time it won't start. It had fuel but no spark. Flat bed tow home.
The car is equipped with a mopar electronic Dist. , MSD box, and MSD coil. I checked the MSD box per MSD trouble shooting guide and it's ok. I did a resistance test on the Coil pick up in the Dist and it's good too. The carbon button in the Dist cap was kind of chipped and worn so I replaced it. I tried to start it and it fired right up!
I don't think that the Dist cap was the problem but the car starts and runs now. I don't want another towing bill and I don't have a lot of confidence in the car. What do you guys think the problem is/was?
When it went did you notice any other electrical system failure? I had a duster with similar issues. It Would run fine then just die. Mine wouldn't even turn over when it failed though so probably not the same issue. My case it was a bad amp meter. Sounds funny but ALL of the juice to the car, engine systems runs through it. I would have to go under the hood and jump the starter wire to turn over, but no start.
Check your wires, and does a 64 use an electrical bulkhead to go through the firewall? If it does check and clean up the connections there also.
I don't think your problem's the same, probably going to have to trace wires andd look for a worn/loose/bad connection in the ignition system. Also have you checked your balast resistor?
If it still has the firewall resistor--I would start there
speedsup64 have you checked the in line fuel filter yet. I have had quite a few of dodges and have found that when they quit running at 55mph it has always been the fuel filter. If you let it set for awhile it will startup and run for a while and stop again. You will find a lot of trash and water in the filter, W.T.S
I had the same problem with my 77 Dodge van...It turned out to be the pickup coil in the distributer. Also. it has to be adjusted just right. Maybe, thats your problem.
we have that problem with my bros truck.. 69.. chevy.. i know its not mopar.. but sounds like the same thing..
they told us it was his ignition mosule.. it sits under the cap of the distrib..
seems like when it gets to running tempeture.. it stops running..
Take that part out and check it ..
hot stuff
i had a 68 dodge work van 6 banger stock setup. coil cracked but tested good when cool. happened a nite once, lifted doghouse to see it arcing only when hot.

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to work with the talented team behind one of my favorite wedding blogs: Snippet & Ink! The project was to style a Valentine's Day shoot that was full of chocolate. Seriously, dream job. Several different wedding vendors were asked to choose their favorite types of chocolate and explain a bit about why they loved it. Their responses are sweet, funny and honest!

An error maybe, or worse?
State Political Editor
Page Tools
The Premier has confidence in the OPI. But should Victorians share his optimistic view?
You could be forgiven for thinking the worst thing about the so-called police files affair is that it was Victoria's showcase anti-corruption watchdog that committed one of the biggest breaches of privacy and security in the state's history by sending more than 500 pages of files on more than 400 people through the mail to a private citizen.
Certainly it was an astonishing breach by the Office of Police Integrity "inexcusable", to use the word employed by Police Minister Tim Holding, one of the few people involved in this mess who has so far emerged with his reputation largely unsullied.
But if you think that's the worst of it, you're wrong.
You could also be forgiven for thinking the worst thing about this affair is that the man in charge of Victoria's showcase corruption watchdog responded to the debacle in an inappropriate many saw it as arrogant manner.
State Ombudsman George Brouwer, who is also director of the OPI, is one of the giants of public service in Australia. He was head of the Department of Premier and Cabinet during the Cain years, and served in senior positions in the Commonwealth public service under prime ministers Holt, McMahon, Gorton, Whitlam and Fraser. His impeccable credentials and unquestioned integrity made him a natural choice when Steve Bracks last year went in search of a cleanskin to lead Victoria's counter-offensive against police corruption.
But when the police files affair came to light late last week, Brouwer took too long to "get it".
He first became aware of what happened when contacted by ABC TV's Stateline on Thursday afternoon. Before Stateline went to air on Friday night, Brouwer prepared a six-sentence statement, saying he "regrets the clerical error that occurred in the mail dispatch area", but adding that, "although mistakes of this nature are regretted, it should be remembered that the office handles thousands of complaints and inquiries every year". The suggestion seemed to be that this breathtaking breach of security and privacy was being waved away as one of those things that happens in a busy mail room.
On Saturday afternoon he told reporters: "I will appoint someone to investigate this who has no involvement with the actual case. The posting of the document will be looked at by the whole management team in the OPI." The suggestion seemed to be that the OPI knew what had happened, but nonetheless would go through the motions of investigating itself. Trust us.
It took until Monday for Brouwer to call in an outsider, Privacy Commissioner Paul Chadwick, to conduct what the public must now hope will be a thorough investigation. Yet Chadwick is at pains to say that his concerns can relate only to privacy issues; he has neither the powers nor the intention to look more broadly at questions relating to the competence of the OPI, or to the appropriateness or otherwise of the one person serving as both the Ombudsman and director of the OPI.
But if you think that's the worst of it, you're wrong again.
The worst thing about the police files affair is that for the first time we have been able to look inside an investigation by the OPI of a complaint against police by a member of the public and what we see is not pretty. What happened here is that an "ordinary" citizen in country Victoria who felt intimidated and vulnerable because of perceived harassment by a local policewoman went knocking on the OPI's door for help and the OPI let her down.
Things started well enough. When the woman complained that she feared her privacy had been breached, the OPI assured her it was treating the complaint seriously, and wrote to Victoria Police asking it to arrange for an audit of any searches of the files of the woman and her husband between 2002 and 2004.
But things quickly unravelled. The police that is, the organisation against whom the complaint was made asked the OPI to reduce the scope of the search, and the "independent" watchdog readily agreed to bring it back from two years to five months, at least in the first instance. The Opposition's allegation that this shows the relationship between the police and the OPI is "rather too cosy" would appear to have some force. And the question arises: is it routine for the OPI to conduct investigations into the police within parameters set by the police?
Then, when the OPI's complaint investigations manager, Alan Hicks, wrote to the woman saying the office had dismissed her complaint, he told her that the audit had been "conducted between the period 2002-2004 in relation to any access to records pertaining to either yourself or your husband". This was certainly misleading, and possibly worse. Indeed, in the interpretation of the Opposition it was "deliberately deceiving". Why would the OPI, set up to protect and act on behalf of citizens against a powerful arm of the state, mislead a citizen in this way?
Hicks went on to tell the woman: "I have examined the product of that audit and I have established that there is no record of any such access" to her or her husband's files. Yet the files mistakenly sent to the woman the files the OPI had reviewed on her behalf show that her husband's files were indeed accessed, in April last year, generating 10 pages of computer print-outs. If the OPI had noticed this during its examination, why did it tell the woman there was no record of "any" access? If the OPI did not notice those 10 pages relating to her husband, why not?
George Brouwer says the Office of Police Integrity remains worthy of public confidence. He would say that; he's in charge of it. Steve Bracks says he retains full confidence in the OPI. He would say that; it's his baby. Unfortunately for the OPI and the Government, dispassionate people looking at the evidence that has come to light because of an inexcusable "clerical error that occurred in the mail dispatch area", may take some convincing.

Soothing Healing Plantain
and Jewelweed Ointment
The following recipe is for a very soothing Jewelweed
and Plantain ointment. It combines the soothing properties of Jewelweed
with the healing and antiviral properties of Plantain. I carry a small jar
of this ointment in one of the pockets of my cargo pants every single day.
I cannot tell you how often I use it. It not only heals any skin abrasion
or irritation, it also immediately alleviates any itching. I have found it
to be highly effective when applied to the rash resulting from poison ivy
and or poison oak contact. The luxurious feeling of the Lanolin, and the
soothing nature of the Jewelweed also make it a wonderful daily
I would highly recommend making it for yourself, and keeping it handy. If
your and your family are anything like me and mine, you will turn to it
quite often.
Soothing & Healing Plantain and Jewelweed Ointment Recipe
3 oz fresh
Plantain leaves (or 1-1/2 oz dried powdered leaves)
3 oz fresh
Jewelweed leaves
12 oz oil (sweet almond, coconut, olive, or vegetable)
2 tbsp Pure Lanolin
Pure beeswax to thicken to desired consistency
Pure Wintergreen and Lavender oils for their fragrant natures.
(The methyl salicylate in the Wintergreen also
acts as an analgesic.)
Finely chop fresh herbs; if using dried plantain, grind the dried herb in a mortar and pestle
or spice grinder. Pour
oil into a double boiler, or small crock pot. I would not recommend a pan
directly over heat, as it would be very easy to burn the oil. Add the herb
materials to the oil, and simmer on lowest setting for a minimum
of 4-6 hours. It is important to try to maintain an oil temperature of
about 100 - 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Strain the oil through cheesecloth, fine coffee filter,
or chinois.
Retain a small amount of oil in a separate bowl, just in case your
finished ointment is too thick. Melt the Lanolin into the main pot of oil.
Stir until completely dissolved. Slowly add grated beeswax a little at a time to the
main pot of oil, until the desired consistency is reached. I usually stir
in 1 - 2 oz of wax until dissolved, then touch the back of a spoon into the
oil, and let the spoon cool. I then check the consistency of the ointment,
if it is too thin, add more wax, if too thick, add a little of the oil you
retained in the beginning. And finally stir in the desired amount of the
Wintergreen and Lavender Oils.
Pour the ointment into a jar or tin, and store in the refrigerator until
needed. This ointment is very effective for insect bites or stings, blisters, cuts, scrapes, or just
about any skin ailments. I have yet to find a better remedy for insect bites or
Passive oil infusion method: Place herbs in a mason jar, and cover with
oil. Cover the jar, and leave in a sunny location for two weeks. After the
two weeks, follow the steps above to strain and thicken the ointment.

The best thing is the location on the Lake. The rooms are fairly large, and the restaurant was decent, even with a limited menu. Breakfast was good and hassle- free. Staff was friendly. I have stayed there many times, and purposely booked it because I liked the indoor pool and hot tub. We were VERY disappointed, after going out of our way to get there, to find that both were closed for undisclosed reasons. The other annoyances included hot and stuffy corridors and the noisy AC units in the rooms. We probably will not stay there again. It is too bad that this once-nice faciility is degrading.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Shocked by the quality of the room and facility for the price. I will be back.
It was very clean and the staff was friendly. We loved the breakfast that was included!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Food and drink was available even at 2:00 am.
2/3 of the breakfast offerings are available 24 hours per day. They need to replace their weight machine!

Location, price, accepted pets maybe a little outdated but they were refurbishing on the first floor Could hear the kids running around next door....not hotels fault
nothing everything
The nightlight and the fan in the bathroom. Nice touch. The fridge door was broken.
Location There was beeping noise all night outside my room. I had requested a quite room. Girl at the front desk said she was new. There is a scent machine right out side my door that may have been empty or it makes the noise every time is sends a scent??

PHNOM PENH – The Khmer Rouge's former No. 2 admitted for the first time Thursday that he shared responsibility for the actions of a regime blamed for the deaths of up to 2 million people in the late 1970s.
"I am not trying to evade my responsibility," Nuon Chea, 86, who has denied charges of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity, said during his trial at a U.N.-backed court.
"As a leader, I must take responsibility for the damage, the danger to my nation," he said, expressing his "deepest condolences" to witnesses testifying at the tribunal in Phnom Penh who lost relatives under the regime.
At the same time, Nuon Chea said he was not aware of all of the Khmer Rouge's actions in his role overseeing propaganda and education.
"As for the executive branch, I had no power whatsoever. So about what happened during the Khmer Rouge period, certain things I was aware of, but other things I was not aware of," he said.
His remarks came after Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen told Parliament on Monday that he wants a law to punish people who deny that atrocities occurred during the Khmer Rouge regime, apparently trying to link his political opponents to the widely despised movement.
Hun Sen, an authoritarian elected leader, was once a Khmer Rouge cadre himself.
Nuon Chea, the most senior surviving leader of the "killing fields" era, is currently on trial alongside former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan, 81, who has also denied charges of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
Khieu Samphan told the court Thursday that he was not aware at the time of the "great suffering" of the Cambodian people during the Khmer Rouge's rule. He also expressed a "sincere apology" to the victims as he tried to distance himself from the regime's actions.
The Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 wiped out nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population through starvation, overwork or execution in a bid to create an agrarian utopia.

Chris Katongo
Christopher Katongo has joined Zambia's training camp in Ndola on day one of Chipolopolo's preparation for their March 5 friendly against The Uganda Cranes.
Katongo, who missed the first training session on Tuesday morning, arrived in Ndola at midday and took part in afternoon practice at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium where Zambia will host Uganda next Wednesday.
The Zambia captain is currently unattached and training with Faz Super League club Green Buffaloes after seeing out his three-year contract at Chinese club Henan Jianye last October.
Katongo's arrival brings to 22 the players already in camp, all of them home-based.
However, his brother Felix Katongo of Green Buffaloes and club mate Allan Mukuka have yet to join camp.
And Coach Patrice Beaumelle is expecting his 16 foreign-based call-ups for the friendly to join camp this weekend.
Meanwhile, Beaumelle has recalled Nkana striker Evans Kangwa for the Uganda friendly.
Kangwa is a late call-up following the unavailability of his Nkana strike partner Ronald Kampamba who will miss the friendly due to Caf Champions League commitments this weekend and on March 8.
"Evans was not on our list but we have called him up after playing very well in the Charity Shield," Beaumelle said.
Kangwa was in inspired form last Saturdays' for Nkana in the 90 minutes he played for the 2013 champions in their 3-1 win over Red Arrows in the final with an assist and a goal.
And Zambia will on Thursday afternoon play their first training match in camp when they host Power Dynamos at Levy Stadium.

Brewery Arcade Game Dispenses Beer To Winners [Video]
Beercade automatically pours brewery's most popular varieties as a prize.
Winning something is always better than paying for it. With this notion in mind, independent ad agency McKinney created a unique way for Raleigh brewer, Big Boss Brewing Company, to get people to taste their varieties of beer. Introducing Beercade: The Last Barfighter, a retro-style arcade game where players fight over a chance to get some brew dispensed into their cup straight from the arcade machine.

I grew up playing video games, and I remember stacking quarters at the old arcades waiting in line to show off my virtual fighting skills. And I think it's a nostalgic experience a lot of people identify with. I've also grown to appreciate the craft and skill it takes to make good-tasting beer. So to combine these two passions into a unique experience other people can enjoy was just awesome.
Both the flash-based game and the arcade box itself were created in-house. In place of coin dispensers, are drip trays, cup-holders and sensor that accept cups in place of quarters. The game itself is a relatively simple one, with five characters, all themed around the Big Boss Brewing labels, who fight over three rounds using basic fighting moves, as well as 'signature moves' such as unicorn horn impaling. The best of three wins, and a sample of beer is automatically dispensed via the Beercade taps.
Dave Roger, Big Boss Brewing's marketing and distribution manager believes the game is a unique way to highlight all the different offerings of the brewery:
The Last Barfighter is a latest tool in the Big Boss arsenal. It's a secret weapon that really showcases our beer brands in a fun, interactive, beer-dispensing video game with retro-cool appeal!
While there is currently only one machine, Big Boss is planning on taking the idea to beer festivals and bars, and is considering a possible March Madness tie-in.

What to do if your landlord refuses to allow your service animal entrance into Elevator?
Have a licensed service animal and my landlady refuses to allow her entrance into elevator. I am on the third floor and she wont allow dogs in elevator but I see people using it all the time. However my dog is the only licensed service animal in the building and she still refuses my dog. In fact she screams at me if she ever catches me in there. I have a extremely bad hip and have been hurting myself using the stairs all the time. What do I do? Do I report her to the ADA or Fair Housing Act? How do I do any of this.

Call your Civil Lib and they will call the Police, and she will be sited/arrested for violating your Civil Liberties.

Contact your local city hall and make an official complaint. Whay are you letting her yell at you? Avoid this mean person!! ^_^
Tasha (in memory) answered on 8/13/13. Helpful? / 0
OK. She can NOT deny you access to the elevator. Remember, it is YOU, not the dog with access rights, so she is discriminating against YOU, not the dog. Review the ADA & the FHA. You may have to also contact the DOJ. If she is just the manager then call the owners. Document every time this happens, but keep using the elevator.
I would advise posting this in the main fora, in the Service Dog Forum. There are fabulous folk who can give you a much better answer than you'll get here. Good luck

Report this to the license office for them to call her attention. You rights are violated in this case.

I would first tell the landlady that she is violating YOUR rights, Keep your service dogs paper work with you. Show it every time she gives you a hard time. Let her know you that you will pursue legal action if she continues to harass you, you can also sue her for personal injury as she is making you use the stairs on a bad hip. DO NOT be afraid of retaliation as you are within your rights. You may even want to contact legal aide.

I'm installing a roll top on my pit blind. I don't plan to roll it back when ducks come in but instead simply leave it rolled back a foot or so and use the Gibson's Duck Blind Covers I already have as front or rear cover (depending on which side of the pit I'm shooting out of). I want to be able to simply stand up and shoot instead of having to roll back the roll top and flare the ducks.
My question is should I go ahead and make the roll top the actual width of my pit (4-feet wide) or make it narrower than the actual width? I don't want to have too much overhang on either side but it would be nice to simply roll the cover over the pit when we're not hunting to keep out rain/snow etc.
Any input welcome. Thank you.

The form is pretty simple to fill out, so you should have no problems, but if you do, come back and let us help you.
If you found this answer helpful, kindly press the "Accept" key. Positive feedback is also greatly appreciated. Thanks for the question.
Thank you for using justanswer. Merlo is absolutely correct. You need to file Form 1040X (Rev. November 2007) Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. You will also need to fill out a corrected 2007 Form 1040 (Schedule C) Profit or Loss From Business. There is no actual "Corrected Schedule C" , you just fill another Schedule C and another 2007 Form 1040 (Schedule SE)Self-Employment Tax if applicable, and you attach these forms with the changes on them to your 1040X.
I hope this helps you.
Positive feedback and bonuses are always appreciated
Hello againCustomer
Yes, Anne is correct. In addition to filing out Form 1040X, you will also need to attached a corrected Schedule C and also a corrected Schedule SE if it applies.

At what point do you use a Gun?
I am a new Glock 23 owner, just completed the CHL. Of course what i learned was you can use "deadly force" to "stop" someone if your life is threatened or life of another you come across is threatened. If you use deadly force where a jury decides otherwise - you are in deep trouble. Except in your home of course with a break in (Castle law Texas).
There are a lot of scenarios that cause me to think about this. That is what if, i was walking down the street and some gang thug decided to attack me to score points with his gang. You do not know where he is going with the beat down. Will he smash your head on concrete - to score bigger points for a kill? Or will he just place you in the hospital for a week or so, maybe with permanent paralysis to your left hand or something. Yet he is just a 6"6" Big hulk and carries no weapon. Interesting question: At what point during his joy "beat down" - if you are still conscious can you "stop" him? I.e. Shoot the bugger.

Deadly Force Triangle
Also, here is Mi. law pertaining to this topic.
Texas law may differ.
It is up to YOU, to find if it exists, and know it..
I am merely showing you Michigan law as an example.
MCL 600.2922b, MCL 600.2922c, &
MCL 777.21c
The Self-Defense Act
Effective October 1, 2006
Public Acts 309 314 of 2006 comprise the Self-Defense Act. The Act affects criminal and civil liability for those who use force to defend themselves or others. Prior to this Act, the law of self-defense was gleaned primarily from the common law (judge-made law).
General Provisions of the Act
A person may use deadly force with no duty to retreat if (PA 309):
1. They are not engaged in a crime
2. They are in a place they have a legal right to be
3. They honestly and reasonably believe deadly force is necessary
4. The deadly force is used to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or sexual assault of the person or another
A person may use force other than deadly force if (PA 309):
1. They are not engaged in a crime
2. They are in a place they have a legal right to be
3. They honestly and reasonably believe force is necessary
4. The force is used to prevent imminent unlawful force against the person or another
Honest and Reasonable Belief
The Act (PA 311) creates a rebuttable presumption that a person using force has an honest and reasonable belief that imminent death, great bodily harm, or sexual assault will occur if the person using force honestly and reasonably believes the person against whom force is used is any of the following:
1. In the process of breaking and entering a dwelling or business
2. In the process of committing a home invasion
3. Has committed a breaking and entering or home invasion and is still present in the dwelling or business
4. Is attempting to unlawfully remove a person from a dwelling, business, or vehicle against his or her will
The presumption created by the Act does not apply in the following circumstances:
1. The person against whom force was used has a legal right to be in the dwelling, business, or vehicle
2. The person being removed from a dwelling, business, or vehicle is a child in the lawful custody of the person removing the child
3. The person using force is engaged in a crime or using the business, dwelling, or vehicle to further a crime
4. The person against whom force is used is a police officer attempting to enter a dwelling, business, or vehicle in the performance of his or her duties
5. The person against whom force was used has a domestic relationship with the person using force and the person using force
Effect on the Common Law
In circumstances not addressed in the Act, the common law of self-defense still applies with one exception: There is no longer a duty to retreat when a person is in his or her own dwelling or within the curtilage of that dwelling. This exception applies even in cases where the rest of the Act doesnt apply (PA 313).
Civil Liability
A person who uses force in accordance with the Act is immune from civil liability for damages caused by the use of such force (PA 314). Additionally, courts must award attorney fees and costs to an individual who has been sued for using force and the court finds that the force was in accordance with the Act (PA 312).
Criminal Liability
Under the Act (PA 310), no crime has been committed when a person uses force as authorized. If a prosecutor believes that the force is not justified, he or she must provide evidence that the force used was not in accordance with the Act. Such evidence must be presented at the time of warrant issuance, preliminary examination, and trial.
Effect on Law Enforcement
The overall effect of the Act on police practice is minimal. Officers should still process suspected crime scenes as in the past. However, because of the duty imposed upon prosecutors by PA 310, officers should immediately consult with their prosecutor when investigating a case where self-defense has been claimed by the suspect or where the circumstances indicate that such a defense might be used at trial.
In the absence of guidance from a prosecutor, officers should attempt to gather circumstantial or direct evidence that might show that use of force was unjustified, i.e., the circumstances listed in PA 309 did not exist.

My I suggest training training, training, training. Not only in firearms but hand to hand, employment of less lethal means, and physical conditioning. All of these can possibly give you that extra second or more confidence in yourself handling a situation before resorting to lethal means. But in the end the decision is up to you. I not only shoot regularly but do combatives once a week or so. Tai chi, weightlifting, running, are part of my week.

I use my gun when there is no other choice. That point in time will vary from situation to situation. There's really no concrete way to say "this is when you should shoot". I'm not a large guy by any means - 5'7" and 140lbs - If I've got a 6'6" football player looking guy bearing down on me, I'd likely draw and shoot as quickly and accurately as possible.

It is old. Not as old as The Bible, but its information as regards when to use your gun are still quite useful, and timeless.

Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
First off, welcome to the forum.
As to your question, basic rule of thumb is that if you fear for your life and or grave physical injuries, you are justified to use deadly force. You must also be able to convince the police and DA that those fears were warranted. Of course that will vary from state to state, as well as community to community.

Below is TX law pertaining to when and when not deadly force is authorized
Self Defense Statutes
(Texas Penal Code)
(a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree he reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force.
(b) The use of force against another is not justified:
(1) in response to verbal provocation alone;
(2) to resist an arrest or search that the actor knows is being made by a peace officer, or by a person acting in a peace officer's presence and at his direction, even though the arrest or search is unlawful, unless the resistance is justified under Subsection (c);
(3) if the actor consented to the exact force used or attempted by the other;
(4) if the actor provoked the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force, unless
(A) the actor abandons the encounter, or clearly communicates to the other his intent to do so reasonably believing he cannot safely abandon the encounter; and
(B) the other nevertheless continues or attempts to use unlawful force against the actor; or
(5) if the actor sought an explanation from or discussion with the other person concerning the actor's differences with the other person while the actor was:
(A) carrying a weapon in violation of Section 46.02; or
(B) possessing or transporting a weapon in violation of Section 46.05.
(c) The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified:
(1) if, before the actor offers any resistance, the peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make the arrest or search; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the peace officer's (or other person's) use or attempted use of greater force than necessary.
(d) The use of deadly force is not justified under this subchapter except as provided in Sections 9.32, 9.33, and 9.34.
Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 883, ch. 399, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1974.
Amended by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 900, Sec. 1.01, eff. Sept. 1,1994.
Amended by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 190, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.
Deadly Force in Defense of Person
"A person is justified in using deadly force against another if he would be justified in using force under Section 9.31 of the statute when and to the degree he reasonable believes that deadly force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force, if a reasonable person in the same situation would have not retreated. The use of deadly force is also justified to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, rape or robbery."
Defense of Another Person
"A person is justified in using deadly force against an attacker to protect another person if he would be justified to use it to protect himself against an unlawful attack and he reasonably believes his intervention is immediately necessary to protect the other person from serious injury or death."
Deadly Force to Protect Property
"A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect his property to the degree he reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, theft during the nighttime or criminal mischief during the nighttime, and he reasonably believes that the property cannot be protected by any other means."
"A person is justified in using deadly force against another to pervent the other who is fleeing after committing burglary, robbery, or theft during the nighttime, from escaping with the property and he reasonable believes that the property cannot be recovered by any other means; or, the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the property would expose him or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury. (Nighttime is defined as the period 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise.)"
Protection of the Property of Others
"A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect the property of a third person if he reasonably believes he would be justified to use similar force to protect his own property, and he reasonably believes that there existed an attempt or actual commission of the crime of theft or criminal mischief."
"Also, a person is justified in using force or deadly force if he reasonably believes that the third person has requested his protection of property; or he has a legal duty to protect the property; or the third person whose property he is protecting is his spouse, parent or child."
Reasonable Belief
"It is not necessary that there should be actual danger, as a person has the right to defend his life and person from apparent danger as fully and to the same extent as he would have were the danger real, as it reasonably appeared to him from his standpoint at the time."
"In fact, Sec 9.31(a) [of the Penal Code] expressly provides that a person is justified in using deadly force against another when and to the degree he reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary."
Justification for Using Deadly Force Can Be Lost
"Even though a person is justified in threatening or using force or deadly force against another in self defense or defense of others or property as described in the statute, if in doing so he also recklessly injures or kills an innocent third person, the justification for deadly force is unavailable."
"A person acts recklessly when he is aware of but consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk with respect to the circumstances surrounding his conduct or the results of his conduct. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that its disregard constitutes a gross deviation of the standard of care that an ordinary person would exercise, viewed from the person's standpoint under all the circumstances existing at the time."
Self Defense Definitions
"Assault is committed if a person intentionally, knowingly or recklessly threatens another with imminent bodily injury, causes bodily injury to another, or causes physical contact with another when he knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative."
"Aggravated assault is committed if a person commits Assault (qv.) and causes serious bodily injury to another, or causes bodily injury to a peace officer, or uses a deadly weapon."
"Burglary is committed if, without the effective consent of the owner, a person: 1) Enters a building, or any portion of a bulding, not open to the public with intent to commit a felony or theft, or 2) Remains concealed in a building with the intent to commit a felony or theft."
"Criminal Mischief is committed if, without the effective consent of the owner, a person: 1) Intentionally or knowingly damages or destroys the property of the owner, or 2) Tampers with the property of the owner and causes momentary loss or sustained inconvenience to the owner or third person."

The show says it hired an independent lab to test samples of apple juice produced overseas, and one-third of the samples contained levels of arsenic higher than what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows in drinking water.
However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is calling the information presented on the show "misleading" and "irresponsible." After conducting its own tests on the same apple juice lots, the FDA found arsenic levels well within safe margins (almost zero).
Plus, according to the FDA, there are different types of arsenic — some dangerous, a.k.a., inorganic (like from pesticides) — and some that are naturally occurring, or organic, that aren't as dangerous. The Dr. Oz show only counted the total amount of arsenic without differentiating. (Oz admits that inorganic arsenic is what we should focus on, but isn't convinced that organic arsenic is safe.)
UPDATE 12/1/11: An investigation by Consumer Reports finds that roughly 10 percent their apple and grape juice samples, from five brands, had total arsenic levels that exceeded federal drinking-water standards. Most of that arsenic was inorganic arsenic. One in four samples also had lead levels higher than the FDA's bottled-water limit of 5 ppb.
"The call to action here is not to condemn apple juice," Dr. Oz said on the "Today" show. "I love apple juice; I'm a big fan of it. And part of the reason I wanted to do the show is because I've been talking about the benefits of things like apple juice."
"The call to action here is not to condemn apple juice," Dr. Oz said on the "Today" show. "I love apple juice; I'm a big fan of it. And part of the reason I wanted to do the show is because I've been talking about the benefits of things like apple juice."
Still have questions about your favorite brand? Stick to organic juice, at least for now. None of the organic apple juice samples that Dr. Oz's lab tested came back with arsenic levels higher than what the EPA deems safe for drinking water. Oz also says that juice concentrate made in the USA is highly regulated and thus a safer choice, so check your labels.
But according to the FDA, you have nothing to worry about.
"We're concerned that people are going to start thinking their juice is unsafe when that's not case," agency spokeswoman Stephanie Yao told The Washington Post.
Our take? Willow Jarosh and Stephanie Clarke, contributing editors at SELF and co-founders of C&J Nutrition, believe the issue needs further research.
"One thing the experts seem to agree on is that the safety of arsenic (even when talking about total amounts vs. segmenting the inorganic vs. organic types of arsenic) is dose dependent. For this reason, it seems as though drinking small amounts of apple juice shouldn't be a concern at this time," they say.
Plus, apple juice is a good source of vitamin C, so it's actually healthy in moderation. But the whole apple is the better, with far more fiber and disease-fighting plant compounds found in the flesh and skin and more power to fill you up.
"The volume of food that you get from an apple is going to fill your stomach more than an equally caloric equivalent of apple juice — so for that reason, people looking for weight control should skip the juice and eat the fruit."

Jones brings luck to the court at Robert Morris
Vicki Jones believes her only son is lucky to be alive.
So much so that, at her sister's suggestion, she began calling the young boy "Lucky," a twist on his legal name, Lucious.
Lucky Jones is a freshman swingman for Robert Morris, a spark plug off the bench who's adept at snagging key rebounds and chasing down loose balls.
It's a fighting spirit and refusal to quit that carried him through a scary infancy, one that included a battle with Hirschsprung's disease -- basically a blockage of the large intestine -- two major surgeries, a blood clot, hernia, collapsed veins and morphine to dull the pain.
All of this before his first birthday, which his family never celebrated because of Lucky's myriad health problems.
"I thank God every day that I'm alive," he said. "I don't try to forget about anything; I just live life every day happy and glad to be on this earth."
It's not hard to understand why.
Emergency surgery
Lucky was born April 22, 1993, at Saint Michael's Medical Center in Newark, N.J. He weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces and measured 21 inches -- hardly a tiny baby. But three days after he was born, his bowels still weren't functioning.
After getting a barium enema, he was sent home. He started to swell severely about five days later. His bowels still wouldn't work, a result of Hirschsprung's. He was frighteningly pale.
Vicki took her son back to the hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery -- 22 days after he was born -- to remove part of his colon.
"When they did surgery on him, they told me before that he might not look like your baby, but he's still your baby," Vicki said. "We're talking about someone who was born 9 pounds, 9 ounces and looked like he was every bit of 20 pounds at just two weeks old. That scared me."
During that time, Lucky encountered a rash of other health issues, including a hernia caused by his inability to go to the bathroom, so painful that doctors had to put him on morphine.
He also developed a blood clot -- only doctors couldn't insert an IV to administer the necessary medication because Lucky's veins had collapsed, which forced them to insert a main line into his thigh.
"That first year was terrible," Vicki said.
Finally, after about 11 months of having a colostomy bag strapped to him, Lucky's health started to improve, and he became well enough to have a second surgery to repair the twisted intestine.
"We called him 'Lucky' and told him, 'You're really lucky because you went through more than any child in our family ever went through,' " Vicki said. "Nobody in our family had ever even heard of (Hirschsprung's) before."
Finding focus
Growing up, Lucky always was big for his age. In Pop Warner football, he played with the 12-year-olds when he was 9 -- and was a lineman.
Vicki noticed looks when, while out in public, her son appeared to be a rambunctious 6-year-old with no discipline.
"People would look at him like, 'What is this kid doing?' " she said. "And I would have to explain to them that he's only 2. He was just so big."
Lucky still is excitable, and he's equally as distractible. Robert Morris coach Andy Toole, who at 31 years old is not much older than his players, can't help but laugh when he launches into the story of how, during a recent practice, he had to stop in the middle of a drill to reel in his 6-foot-5 freshman.
"I glanced to my left, and Lucky is literally standing in the corner of the court, spinning in a circle like a top," Toole said. "He was just sort of looking up at the ceiling. I didn't know what he was doing, and I lost all train of thought.
"I asked him what he was doing, and he had no response. He was just staring off into space and not really paying attention, completely zoned out. There are a lot of times where we have to rein him back in and make sure he's paying attention."
Jones' college career has been equally as curious.
He grabbed 13 rebounds in the home opener, an 83-57 win over Rider on Nov. 11. But he has snagged more than eight only once since despite averaging about 21.2 minutes as one of the first Colonials off the bench.
Jones averages 6.6 points and scored 16 against Hampton on Tuesday, but three times he has been held to one or no points.
In 13 games, Jones has accrued three or more personal fouls five times.
"He has some focus issues, and that's the type of personality he has where he just gets lost in outer space," Toole said.
Jones' take?
"I know I haven't done everything that I'm capable of doing," said Jones, who went to high school at national power St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, N.J. "But that's what I'm continuing to strive to do. Just try to work hard to achieve my goals."
Some of those include owning his own business, perhaps a designer clothing line, restaurant or nightclub -- logical next steps for a business management major.
His childhood experiences have shaped his personality, allowing him to juice the last drop of joy out of every day -- sometimes to a fault. But Jones also knows that "Lucky" is only a nickname, that if he wants to conquer this second stage of life, he'll have to buckle down and focus.
"It was a blessing that everything was able to come out the right way, and I had no other problems with my body," Jones said. "I just look at it and say that it's something I need to work hard for. Obviously, I was put on this earth for a reason, and I have to live up to that. Not only living up to my name, being the boy named 'Lucky,' but also showing that I'm thankful to be here."

Kalika & Omari
August 2011
Milton, Georgia
From the Photographer: "Kalika and Omari's wedding at White Columns Country Club in Milton, Georgia was elegant, bright and full of emotion! The ceremony was held on an outdoor patio that was decorated with white paper laterns and sheer white fabric draped throughout the event space. The decor provided a gorgeously simple and clean backdrop for this beautiful couple during their vows! Kalika wore a fitted wedding gown with sweetheart neckline and a white birdcage veil. Omari's khaki suit and muted striped tie blended perfectly, as did his glowing smile every time he looked down at his bride! After the ceremony, the guests headed to the main clubhouse for dinner and then dancing under the stars!" –Fixed Focal Photography

Definition of regress

2 : movement backward to a previous and especially worse or more primitive state or condition
3 : the act of reasoning backward
Did You Know?
As you might guess, regress is the opposite of progress. So if a disease regresses, that's generally a good thing, but in most other ways we prefer not to regress. If someone's mental state has been improving, we hope he or she won't start to regress; and when a nation's promising educational system begins to regress, that's a bad sign for the country's future. Economists often distinguish between a progressive tax and a regressive tax; in a progressive tax, the percentage that goes to taxes gets larger as the amount of money being taxed gets larger, while in a regressive tax the percentage gets smaller. (Rich people prefer regressive taxes.)

The discourse on psychosocial reintegration of combat veterans in the United States has largely been confined to discussions of the best treatment for those diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Yet analysis of the data indicates that all combat veterans are changed by their experience. It also indicates that the current medical model of treatment is insufficient. The author suggests that another model is called for; one that benefits from psychoanalytic insights on war and violence. A model that supports veterans' experience of changed consciousness might best help them form a coherent narrative that connects their past lives and combat experience to their lives going forward. She argues that this approach may not have been taken because the same mental processes that cause combat veterans to split off their experiences also cause society as a whole to distance itself from them. Clinicians can be most effective when they create a link to the veteran by acknowledging the veteran as part of society, not a split off aberration, and recognizing the universal role of aggression within and without in creating the war that the veterans fought, and shaping the social response to their return. Literature drawn from psychoanalysis, cognitive neuroscience, and clinicians from the global south is combined with that of military psychiatry and global relief and development to support these positions.

By Erin Kelly
Rep. Raul Grijalva on Thursday asked the investigative arm of Congress to look into whether the American people are getting a fair share of the profits that oil, mining, timber and other industries reap when they remove natural resources from public land.
Grijalva, the senior Democrat on the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, ask the Government Accountability Office to do the study. The GAO said it will act on the request, which Grijalva made with Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M.
"We feel there is a taxpayer responsibility that we have as elected officials, especially in these fiscal times." Grijalva said at a press conference Thursday. "Here we have public lands owned by the American people, in which significant economic activity is going on. We're asking a simple question: How much activity is going on, and what is the return on the dollar?"
The Tucson congressman said the issue is especially crucial now because of the enormous federal deficit. If private companies pay more into the U.S. Treasury for the privilege of logging, mining and drilling for oil on public land, it would reduce the deficit and create more revenue for programs that benefit the American people, Grijalva said.
The GAO report is expected to come out by the middle of next year.

Mechanized Twisting Dining Table Expands To Double Its Size
Nineteenth century geometric design used to create this luxury piece of furniture.
The Fletcher Capstan Table is new offering from a British luxury furniture store called Fletcher Burwell-Taylor. Making use of unique geometry and a design that dates back to the nineteenth century, it's a truly spectacular piece of work.
A round table capable of doubling its seating capacity, while maintaining its circular shape throughout it's transformation. The original idea was designed in the nineteenth century by a man named Robert Jupe.
Fletcher has made some improvements on the original, allowing it to operate much more smoothly compared to Jupe's original table which could not store its own expansion leaves, was not truly round in every stage, and was often slow and laborious to operate.
The top surfaces is made up of six pie shaped planks, and an outer skirt in the manner of a drum table. Below this first layer there are two more layers of planks, one made up of six arrow shaped planks, the other, a large star shaped leaf.
Below these layers sits a rotating and pushing mechanism, constructed with a combination of hard anodised aluminium and stainless steel. All of this rests on a base which can be of varying design
The table is capable of being operated manually by rotation of the entire top, or electrically from a pocket sized remote control transmitting unit.
An exceptional piece of design that despite it's simple aesthetics, hides a complex system of internal workings, allowing the table to unfold in a truly ingenious way.

Hi everyone! Welcome to InterLOLs, my weekly blog series where I post humorous web content I want to share with the community. Be sure to check in every Friday by Noon and I should have a new post up. Note that I do try to screen out content that might be overly raunchy or disturbing, so this stuff should all be fairly safe for work. If it includes any material to watch out for, I'll put it in the description.
This week I have three fairly short videos. The first is a dash cam video of a guy who thinks it'd be awesome to try some GTA stunts in his car. *Note: Some curse words are used.
This next video features the great Sir Patrick Stewart doing a bit of gardening at home. It's unclear whether or not this has a calming effect. *Note: Some curse words are used.
The last video is of a courageous turtle trying to make his way from land back into the water. This video in particular is a tour de force, as it reminds us about the perils of our daily struggles and the strength and grace required to overcome them.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check back next week, and keep your eyes peeled for my other blog series called AwesomeNet! A new post in that series goes up every Monday by Noon.
