Boy oh boy, do I dare even talk about this subject? One, because it's such a sensitive topic to a lot parents and two, well I happen to have a good sleeper. I know people say I'm lucky, and I do believe I am, however I also believe I worked my butt off to have that good sleeper. It was a tough decision for my husband and I to give up rocking our daughter to sleep because we thought self soothing was more important. It was an even tougher decision as an infant to let our daughter cry at times knowing she had a clean diaper, a full belly and everything else had been checked. The worst decision of all time……was deciding if the cry it out method was for us or not. I totally respect anyone's decision on this matter because I know it's a tough one, NO PARENT wants to hear their child cry, for any reason. When we moved our daughter into her crib at 8 weeks old it wasn't an easy move for either one of us. I was no longer close to her to get up and attend to her every need, I could no longer hear her breathing at all times, the worry just kicked in ten times more at this point, but we knew it was something we wanted to do sooner rather than later, my husband and I were starting to not sleep as good. My mother kept telling me we would sleep better without her in the room, I couldn't possible imagine that this could be true, but of course she proved herself again, and not for the last time either. I have no regrets. I still rocked my baby, I just didn't rock her to the actual sleep point, I rocked her until she got "sleepy". I never let my child cry for more than a few minutes without going in and rubbing her back, calming her down to let her know Mommy was still there. As an infant they don't "get" the concept of mommy and daddy coming and going. You can say we did the cry it out method, but I still spent at least a week of going in every few minutes for an hour each night before she would settle down, it was even longer process for her to get used to napping in her room. She grew accustomed to napping in her swing or the pack and play so the nap time change was days and days of me doing this until she finally would nap twice a day. It was draining and for a week straight I stayed home and did nothing but go in every few minutes to calm her down, nap time for that week turned into an all day affair. I sat there crying many days wondering if this was what I was supposed to be doing. I even blamed myself when my daughter grew older and became a not so affectionate child, I thought it was my fault, but I've come to realize I did what I did because I thought that's what worked for me and my family. My daughter just turned two and she now cuddles with me in the morning when she first wakes up and for an hour before going to bed……..see I didn't damage her after all! 🙂
Those weeks may have been so hard for me and my husband, some ending in tears for me, I still have no regrets and I still take credit as to why my daughter is a good sleeper, and has been since then. My sister still babysits and is amazed that she goes to bed so well. Hey other Momma's could have done this exact same thing and still wound up with a not so good sleeper, I don't know, but I'll stick to my theory and let it make me feel good. Like all of those tears were worth it in some way or another. We haven't faced the crib stage into the toddler bed stage yet so I may change my mind within the next year!!
I know everyone has different thoughts on this topic and to each is own is absolutely right, what works for me might not work for you as a parent or for your child, however here are some tips from the specialists. Ask me again in a few months when I put Madison into a big girl bed, I may be speaking differently! Here is another good article on using the Reward System on getting your child to STAY in bed. Parenting-How I got my child to stay in bed.
How you can establish healthy sleep habits for 12-18 month olds. Typical sleep at this age
Now your baby is officially a toddler – but he still needs as much sleep as he did when he was younger. Until his second birthday, your child should get about 14 hours of sleep a day, 11 of those hours at night. The rest will come in nap form.
Your child will still need two naps at 12 months, but by the time he's 18 months old, he may be ready for a single hour-and-a-half to three-hour nap in the afternoon – a pattern he may follow until he's four or five. The transition from two naps to one can be difficult. Sleep expert Jodi Mindell suggests alternating one-nap and two-nap days, depending on how much sleep your toddler got the night before. You can also try putting your child to bed a little earlier on one-nap days.
There's not much new you can do to help your child become a good sleeper at this age – look for fresh issues such as bedtime resistance to show up sometime between 18 months and your toddler's third birthday. Your best bet now: Continue practicing the strategies you've been developing since your child was 6 months old, including:
Following a nightly bedtime ritual.
A regular bedtime routine will help your child wind down at the end of the day and get ready for sleep. If he needs to work off some excess energy, it's okay to let him run around for a little while before moving on to something more calming, such as a quiet game, bath, orbedtime story. Follow the same pattern every night – even when you're away from home. Toddlers love consistency; being able to predict when and how something's going to happen helps them feel in control.
Stick to a consistent daily schedule, as well as bed- and naptimes.
As always, it's also a good idea to set and stick to consistent bed- and naptimes as part of your daily schedule. If your child naps, eats, plays, and gets ready for bed at about the same time every day, he'll be much more likely to fall asleep without a struggle.
Make sure your child is able to fall asleep on his own.
Don't forget how important it is for your toddler to fall asleep by himself every night. You may want to consider avoiding rocking, nursing, or singing your child to sleep so he'll learn to settle himself back down when he wakes up at night. Your child waking up and not being able to get himself back to sleep is less than ideal for you, too – if he does wake up, he'll probably cry for you.
At this age your child may have difficulty falling asleep or wake up frequently at night. The reason behind both problems is probably the developmental milestones he's reaching, especially walking. Your toddler is so excited by his new skills that he wants to keep practicing, even if you say it's bedtime.
If he resists going to sleep, most experts advise leaving him in his crib for a few minutes to see whether he'll calm down. If not, you may want to consider using some version of the"cry it out" approach. You'll also have to decide what to do if he wakes up at night, can't soothe himself back to sleep, and ends up crying for you. It's fine to go in and check on or comfort him. But if he wants you to stay and play with him, gently remind him that nighttime is for sleep.
Esbalishing Healthy Sleep Habits for 18-24 months. Typical sleep at this age
By now your toddler will be sleeping about 11 hours at night and taking a one- to three-hour afternoon nap every day. Some children will hold onto two shorter daily naps until their second birthday. If yours is one of them, don't fight it.
How you can establish healthy sleep habits
At this age, these are the best things you can do to make sure your child's sleep habits are on the right track:
Help him break bad sleep habits so he can fall asleep on his own.
Your child should now be drifting off on his own at night without being rocked, nursed, or otherwise lulled to sleep. If he learns to depend on any of these external cues, he won't be able to fall back to sleep during the night when he wakes up and they're not there.
Think of it this way, say sleep experts Jodi Mindell and Richard Ferber: You fall asleep with your head on a pillow, only to wake up in the middle of the night and find the pillow gone. You'd probably be concerned about the pillow's absence and look for it, rousing from your sleepy state.
Similarly, if your child falls asleep every night listening to a particular CD, he'll wonder what happened when he wakes at night and doesn't hear the music, and he may not be able to drop off again easily.
To help prevent this, try to get him into bed when he's sleepy but still awake, so he can fall asleep by himself.
Offer him acceptable choices at bedtime.
These days your toddler is beginning to test the limits of his newfound independence, wanting to assert control over the world around him. To curtail bedtime power struggles, let your child make choices whenever possible during his nighttime routine — from whichbedtime story he wants to hear to which pair of pajamas he'd like to wear.
The trick is to offer only two or three alternatives and to make sure you're happy with every choice. For example, don't ask, "Do you want to go to bed now?" He could very well say no, which isn't acceptable.
Instead, try, "Do you want to go to bed now or in five minutes?" He still gets to make the choice, but you win no matter which option he picks.
Several of the most common sleep problems for toddlers of all ages are difficulty falling asleep, separation anxiety, and frequent night wakings. Children may also experiencenightmares and night terrors.
This age group has its own particular challenge, too: Sometime between 18 and 24 months, some children start climbing out of their crib, potentially putting themselves in danger (falling out of a crib can be pretty painful).
Unfortunately, just because your toddler can get out of his crib doesn't mean he's ready for a big bed. Try to keep him safe and stationary with these tips from Sleeping Through the Night, by sleep expert Jodi Mindell:
Lower the mattress: If you move the crib mattress to its lowest position, you may be able to physically prevent your child from getting out. This probably won't work when he gets bigger, though.
Empty the crib: It's safest to keep toys, bumpers, and extra bedding out of your toddler's crib for a variety of reasons anyway, mainly because they're associated with child injuries like strangulation and entrapment. Your child may also be using crib toys or bumpers as stepstools to help him get out. If you remove them, he may stay put a little longer.
Don't make jumping out worth his while: If your child jumps out of his crib and you react by giving him lots of attention or letting him get in bed with you, he'll keep doing it. Instead, stay calm and neutral, firmly tell him not to climb out, and put him right back in his crib. He'll get the idea pretty quickly.
Keep watch: Nip his escapades in the bud by standing where you can see him in his crib – but he can't see you. If he tries to get out, immediately tell him not to. After you've done this a few times, he'll probably learn to stay put.
Set up a safe environment: If you can't keep your child from jumping out, you can at least make sure he stays safe. Place pillows and other padding on the floor around his crib and on nearby toy chests, dressers, and other objects that could cause a hard knock.
If he absolutely won't stop climbing, you can always move him into his own bed. It may take you a little while to get him to stay, but at least then you won't have to worry about him falling and hurting himself. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
How you can establish healthy sleep habits for 24-36 months
Now that your child is getting older, you can try a few new techniques to help him get a good night's sleep, including:
Moving him into a big bed and praising him when he stays in it.
This is the age when your toddler is likely to make the transition from crib to bed, probably because he'll have outgrown his babyhood digs. The arrival of a new sibling can also prompt the decision. If you're pregnant, move your toddler at least two to three months before you're due, advises sleep expert Jodi Mindell. "You want your older child well settled in his new bed before he sees the baby taking over his crib," says Mindell. But if the switch doesn't go well, it's okay to put it off until the new baby is 3 or 4 months old. Your newborn may spend those months sleeping in a bassinet anyway, and your older child will have time to get used to having a sibling, making the crib-to-bed transition easier. Other reasons to consider making the move include frequent jumping out of the crib and toilet training — your child may need to get up at night to go to the bathroom.
Once he's using his new bed, be sure to praise your child when he stays in it at bedtime and overnight. After the confinement of his crib, your child may get out of his big-kid bed over and over just because he can. If your toddler gets up, temper your reaction. Simply take him back to bed, firmly tell him that it's time to go to sleep, and leave.
Anticipating all his requests and including them in your bedtime routine.
Your toddler may start trying to put off bedtime by wheedling for "just one more" — story, song, glass of water. Try to anticipate all of your child's usual (and reasonable) requests and make them part of your bedtime routine. Then, suggests Jodi Mindell, allow your childone extra request — but make it clear that one is the limit. He'll feel like he's getting his way, but you'll know you're really getting yours.
Giving him an extra goodnight kiss or tuck-in.
It's okay to promise your child an extra goodnight kiss after you've tucked him in the first time. Tell him you'll be back to check on him in a few minutes. Chances are he'll be fast asleep by the time you return.
Potential pitfalls
If your toddler starts getting up more often once he graduates to a big bed, tuck him back in and bid him a firm goodnight. Other than that, how to handle the situation is a personal decision. Experts' opinions vary. Some say: don't coddle him or bring him into your bed. Some say that as long as your child is falling asleep on his own, it's fine to go in and soothe him, and others recommend going to your child immediately, finding the source of the problem and comforting him.
Another widespread sleep problem at this age: resistance to bedtime. Ease or avoid the problem by anticipating and managing your child's before-bed requests. Few toddlers will run happily to bed every night, so be prepared for a few struggles.
You'll probably notice that your child has some new nighttime worries these days. Being afraid of the dark, monsters under the bed, or separation from you is common in toddlers, so don't be too concerned. Fears are part of your child's normal development. If he starts having nightmares, go to him right away and talk to him about his bad dream while you calm him down. If bad dreams persist, look for sources of anxiety in his daily life. Most of the experts agree that if your child is truly terrified, it's all right to let him into your bed every once in a while, too.


text: Family rifle bags another hunter's first By John McCoy November 26, 2011 Story Share Crouched over the carcass of his first deer, 14-year-old Eli Bone pumped his fist and exclaimed, "The legacy is complete!"With one shot from a 49-year-old rifle, the St. Albans youngster became the last of his generation to kill a deer with what could be described as "the family deer slayer."Eli's grandfather, Ted Bone, purchased the .30-06 caliber Remington 742 in 1962, and killed his first deer with it shortly afterward.When Ted's sons John and Jim became old enough to hunt, Ted established a family tradition: He would loan the rifle to each sibling, and as soon as one killed his first deer he would pass the gun to the other and buy a rifle of his own.John and Jim killed their deer, bought their rifles, and sent the Remington back into retirement.When John's three sons approached deer-hunting age, he passed the tradition along to them. Ben, the oldest, took his first whitetail with the rifle when he was 14. Caleb was also 14 when he downed his first deer.But Eli, the youngest, showed little interest in hunting. "He squirrel hunted a little bit last season, but didn't kill any," John said. "He told me that hunting 'just wasn't his thing right now.' I kept asking him if he'd like to go with me and the other boys, but he said no, and finally he told me to quit asking."Imagine John's surprise, then, when he received a text message from Eli just three days before this year's Nov. 21 buck-season opener."He shot me a text asking if he could go hunting with us on Monday," John said. "I sent him a text that said, 'Come ahead, baby!'" Eli had never shot a high-powered rifle, so John took him out to get him sighted in. Eli's first two shots from 50 yards cut the same hole in the target. John deemed him ready.On opening morning, John and Eli set up their stand at John's favorite hunting spot - the exact spot where Ben and Caleb had killed their first deer.The day dawned rainy and foggy, a miserable day even by seasoned hunters' standards. Shortly after daylight, a deer wandered within range of the stand, but brush and fog kept them from getting a shot."We sat there for a couple of hours, and then we heard Ben shoot," John said. "He called and told us he had shot at a big buck. We went over to try to find any sort of sign that he'd hit it, and we finally determined that he'd missed."John and Eli headed back to their stand and ate lunch. "I could tell Eli was starting to get frustrated, and we discussed going back to the truck. He said he could hang in a little longer, though, so we stayed there," John said."Shortly after that, I got a text message from Ben. It said a couple of does were headed our way, but they were on the bench behind the stand and out of our view. I told Eli we should move up the hill to try to cut them off."As soon as the two hunters crested the bench, the does came out of the brush toward them. Eli raised his rifle, and the does froze."About the time I heard the safety click off, one of the does raised its tail and got ready to bolt," John said. "That's when Eli pulled the trigger."The doe dropped in its tracks.And now, said John, the old rifle will sit idle until the next generation of Bone offspring grows ready to hunt. Then the legacy, now complete, will continue.

Comments about oreilly The Rails View:
The best (and most important) thing I liked about this book was how current it was. I've read quite a few Rails books, and the chapters on the View Layer are all pretty much the same in that they cover ERB, partials, forms, helpers, 'xxx_tag' helpers for non-model forms, render vs. redirect, etc.Few resources cover the current - and important - stuff that this book covers, for example using normalize.css, Modernizr, Selectivizr, Total Validator, SASS/SCSS, email, etc. They also cover things we need to be aware of for mobile views like Responsive Design, mobile-specific templates, and jQuery Mobile.All in all this is the most up-to-date resource for the View Layer that I'm aware of, and I think that fact alone means it's worth a look-see.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Re: Coach leather care
Stay away from mink oils in automotive leather. Today's automotive leather is dyed to match the color of the interior. Some leather (check your manual) has a top layer finish on it which acts like a barrier to resist cracking and spliting. A lanilan based conditioner like the one I sell on my web site is designed for automotive leather. If you put mink oil on your seats you will have an oily mess. It won't soak in. Then it will get on your clothes as well. read my post dressings vs conditioners to understand the difference. Gary

Six Teens
|seen live
|1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s
|wikidata wikipedia
An R&B vocal group from Los Angeles, California, USA. In the wake of the success of Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers, many east coast groups emerged with a pre-teen lead sound. The Six Teens diverged slightly from the pattern by virtue of their west coast origin and the use of a female to sing the adolescent teen boy part. The members were Trudy Williams (lead), Ed Wells (lead), Richard Owens, Darryl Lewis, Beverly Pecot and Louise Williams. Their one hit was the fetching A Casual Look (number 7 R&B, number 25 pop), from 1956, on which Williams youth was most telling and appealing. The groups follow-up, Send Me Flowers, was a regional hit in Hawaii, and Only Jim and Arrow Of Love likewise achieved regional sales. The groups last recordings were made in 1958, and Owens became a member of the Vibrations.

The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth is a musical puppet television series produced in 1994 by Bomp Productions and Universal Television.
The series was created by puppeteers James Murray, Dina Fraboni, and Kevin Carlson. Phil Baron assisted Kevin Carlson and James Murray with writing the episodes. The characters were designed by Drew Massey and Bob Fappiano. The puppets were built by Bob Fappiano while the additional puppets and marionettes were made by Christine Papelexis. The music was composed by Giovanna Joyce Imbesi and the songs were written by Giovanna Joyce Imbesi and Willow Wray.
This show was about the adventures of a talking tooth named Timmy and all his friends of Flossmore Valley as they go on adventures using their imaginations, which would usually have Timmy thwarting bad guys like the Cavity Goon and Ms. Sweetie or the Gingivitis Gang.
Main characters[edit]
- Timmy the Tooth (performed by Kevin Carlson) - The main protagonist of the series. He is an adventurous tooth that lives with his best friend Brushbrush and is prone to burst into song.
- Brushbrush (performed by Todd Mattox) - Timmy's pet toothbrush who acts like a dog. He whispers or "bristles" his words, although Timmy can understand him unlike the other characters. Brushbrush wears a collar and growls like an angry dog when provoked. He has the tendency to tickle Timmy often by licking his face.
- Bubbles Gum (performed by Cheryl Blaylock) - Timmy's blue-skinned friend is always ready to help Timmy as well as go on an adventure. She tends to take lead of things.
- Ms. Flossie (performed by Michael Earl) - A cowgirl of sorts who is constantly having a good time. Despite her name, she has a blob-like appearance.

Peter Setlow, Professor of Molecular, Microbial and Structural Biology at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, CT, authors a guest post on Small Things Considered in which he ponders the reasons why silicon is present on some Bacillus spores and what could possibly be the benefit of this attribute.
"Amid the furor surrounding the anthrax attacks in the USA in 2001, significant attention was focused on whether the Bacillus anthracis spores used had been "weaponized" by the adding of a coating of fumed silica to aid in their dispersal. This information might have helped pinpoint where the spores had originated. However, a confusing factor was that for more than 20 years, significant levels of silicon had been reported in spores of at least some Bacillus species, including those of Bacillus cereus, a close relative of B. anthracis. Clearly, the natural presence of silicon in B. anthracis spores makes discrimination between weaponized and non-weaponized spores more difficult. However, in the older reports the silicon was not localized at the outermost surface of the spores, as would be expected if they had been artificially spiked with such compounds.
Anyhow, what is silicon doing on a bacterial spore?"

Charles & Marie: Time Is Money
According to Karim Rashid, a piggy bank deserves more attention. Of course, his sophisticated designs are void of an actual piggy but still serve their purpose. "These ubiquitous objects need perpetual new ideas, new personalities and new character to be more animated," he says. "But in an abstract way, not as kitsch or literal redesign." This hourglass shaped bank, aptly named Time is Money, draws the important connection between the two valuable concepts. Much like the sands in an hourglass that measure time, the coins drop into the piggybank and build a tiny fortune when you practice a bit of patience.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I have a client who hired me to do a second website for him. Site was complete the week of 12/5 and was on a test server so he can view it live. On 12/8 I emailed him that I will set the site live upon remittance of the final payment of 2250 - it also states this in our initial proposal and was verbally told to him - but he thinks I am wrong to expect payment before the site is set live on his hosting account.
I received a check though on 12/13/10 - it was post dated for 12/15 - but I set his site live on his server on 12/14/10 out of good faith.
Then he asks me to do 2 addiitonal pieces of work that were NOT contracted for....and I told him straight out I would not interested in helping him with those issues since he was diificult and demeaning to work with.
Several nasty emails were sent on his part - with mine remaining professional. Verbal abuse was received via phone (my husband was witness to this)
Today I go to use my debit card and find out my account was overdrawn....
Turns out he put a stop payment on his check on 12/15/10. A day after the site went live on HIS server.
He also had has admin change ALL relevant passwords so I have no access to anything.
I called him today to only be met with verbal assaults and attacks.
So he has a brand new site - I am out 2250.
He is in PA and I am in NJ.
What recourse do I have? He stopped payment because I did not want to do any ADDITIONAL work for him....he is a hateful person....but the way I see it he is committing fraud since the stop payment was issued the day after the site launched....is this correct?
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated....I need to figure out how to handle this.....whether I give in and let him win and do mor work for free or if I push and get my money for the work that was done....
Thank you so much!
Your recourse is to sue on the contract.
Laymans take-- only a few clues.
1. A postdated check does not generally fall under either states bad check laws--no help there.
2. Some cute operators issue post dated checks then stop payments on accounts which never had enough funds to cover the check in first place--seeking to side step badcheck charges .
Me, I'd contact issuing bank tomorrow and sort out if account has enough funds to cover check in first place (W/O giving check number--I've routinely be able to secure such information a to IFa check of about $2247.50 would clear )
I'm suprised a seasoned programmer doesn't have a backdoor access to program or some secret timeout feature you needed to reset after confirmed payment . Find a 14 year old hacker who can get in?
You probably need to sue in PA--but that is problematic as small claims (DJ) , assuming you win, are hyper easy for the defendant to appeal to common pleas as a complete do over.
Do youoperate as an individual or a corporation? As a corporation you probably need counsel to represent you at any level.
Thanks Drew - you know what I never really had a need to do the backdoor entry method...I have had great clients from day one - in all the years I have been doing this I have only had one other person screw me and I have a judgement against him....circumstances were a bit different...and that was in state....I am not thrilled about having to sue in NJ.....I was hoping this could be viewed as fraud and I can take a different action....
Next time in your contract be sure to specify NJ jurisdiction. (perhaps you did?)
That said, I'm NOT up on jurisdiction and service details for NJ--but you need to dig deeper.
1. NJ small claims is up to $2000--and FAR better to fight on home turf if possible.
2 NJ probably has jurisdiction over a contract executed in NJ or is substantially all the work was performed in
3. It may be possible to properly serve for NJ a nonresident in his home state of PA
I will have to find out if that is the case....honestly I did not even think of that...and I will update my contract to specify that- that is a great point.....the thing that makes me so angry is the he stopped payment the day AFTER the site launched....
but then several days later asked me to do more work knowing he ALREADY stopped payment on the check......just amazes me that these people can do this.....I am just reviewing all my options....I dont really want to do court----I already have one judgement that I will never collect...and it was a lot of work for nothing.....
I was really hoping this could look like he was purposely looking at committing fraud because of the dates......thanks so much for your thoughts though...the jurisdiction thing is a big help!
I was really hoping this could look like he was purposely looking at committing fraud because of the dates......thanks so much for your thoughts though...the jurisdiction thing is a big help!
I could be completely wrong, but the date issues could show an intent to commit fraud. However, Drew is correct that most states will not handle bad check pursuits if the payee accepts post-dated checks. Plus, from what I've seen, bad check laws (in terms of things like resititution in lieu of prosecution, which is quite appealing to a ***) are quite limited in terms of dollar amounts. Your best bet is to go after the guy for breaching the contract.
You probably don't need to hear this, but never accept a post-dated check. If you have suspicions about a client, require deposits up front before starting work. I hope this all works out for you.
Please ignore my response. I found where you posted multiple threads on the same matter. This indicates an inability to read (including site terms). Good luck.
Excuse me, where did I post this multiple times? I have never in my life done that on a forum....I find it offensive for you to tell me I have an inability to read - that was uncalled for.
Please forgive everybody for confusing your Dec 26, 2009 post with your Dec 30,2010 post. Almost did it to me too.
As for your current situation I think you basically have a breach of contract lawsuit. Breach of contract is easy to prove. You did the work, he didn't pay. Adding fraud to the issue is superfluous because proving it requires proving intent which is extremely difficult and, in this case, unnecessary because it wouldn't get you a penny more than you are already entitled to.
So I think the main question is whether you can sue in NJ or have to sue in PA where the client is located. That depends on whether the NJ court has "personal jurisdiction" over the defendant. We don't know enough about your potential defendant to address that but I'll give you the following link to a legal analysis of "personal jurisdiction" in NJ which explains the concept and also addresses the internet business:
Bottom line, though, in order to keep this from happening again I suggest you do two things:
1 - Figure out a way to keep control of your clients' websites even after they go live so you can shut them down with a keystroke in the event of a payment default.
2 - Make it clear in your contract that you maintain that kind of control and that payment default results in immediate shutdown.
That kind of provision would be similiar to the repossession provision of a car loan contract and is why you can be one day late on a car payment and have your car repossessed that same day.
You would still have the right to sue a client for breach of contract but you would have a lot more leverage toward avoiding the need for a lawsuit when the client finds he is suddenly without his website immediately after a payment default. Then you can demand a cashier's check for the revival of the site and eliminate uncollectible judgments.
Excuse me, where did I post this multiple times? I have never in my life done that on a forum....I find it offensive for you to tell me I have an inability to read - that was uncalled for.
Sorry, please forgive me. Your post from this time last year was brought back to life by a comment, and I didn't read it carefully. I get annoyed when people violate the very basics like posting a thread multiple times, list company names, etc., but I didn't need to be rude even if you had posted it more than once (which it turns out you didn't).
Yep, you can add a jurisdiction clause to your contract, but you would still incur the cost of a lawsuit and you have to collect on the judgement (which, by the way can be done by using a commission only collection agency).
Have you considered setting up a merchant account and taking credit and debit cards? Chargebacks are possible, but you can win that fight and you don't have to collect on judgements. Also, where someone may stop payment on a check to mess with you, they would have to cancel the card once you have their payment info. There are many pros and cons, but if you're doing biz across state lines, you probably need your own merchant account (not Paypal).
You need to look at this whole issue, if you plan to grow your business.
Personally if the guy asked me to do additional work--I'd probably string him along---just to get access back into program and do whatever I needed to do.....
Drew, that is exactly how I decided to proceed. I put my tail between my legs and said I would do the 2 things OUTSIDE of the contract that he thinks should be included - but he needs to remit payment again FIRST.
Then I will at least have access to the site to do what I need to in case the check is yet again taken away from me....he did respond that this seemed to be a good basis and we will finalize details on Monday...
But my concern is that he is going to dangle the new check to try and get additional work from me when I do not want to work with him...
I do have a merchant account - he only wanted to pay by check though! The last client I have the judgement for payed by Paypal - I learned the hard way to never use them for service payments!!! Thank you so much for your help!!!!

What to Do If...
You catch a dinner guest poking through your bedroom or perusing your medicine cabinet: Even the nosiest person will be embarrassed to be caught in the act, says Marsh. You can let the person save face by saying, "I'm sorry. You must need something. Can I help you?" Then the guest has an easy out―he can respond that he was looking for an aspirin or some other common item. As he or she follows you to find the item, you might gently close the door behind you.
A neighbor pops by unannounced: Play it straight. "Say, 'I'm sorry―this isn't a good time, but thanks for thinking of me,' without inviting the neighbor into the house," says Jane Adams, Ph.D., a psychologist and the author of Boundary Issues ($25, amazon.com). You could also plainly admit that you prefer scheduled coffee dates to impromptu visits. If you work from home, you have a built-in excuse for turning away any company: "Listen, Mary, I have this deadline, and I have to work on it. Maybe we can get together later next week." Your neighbor doesn't need to know what is occupying your time (if you're simply relaxing on the couch, then so be it). She only needs to know that you are not available.
The cleaner, the dog walker, or the sitter moves things around in areas of the house he or she has no business being in: "Absolutely address the situation," says Debra Johnson, the training manager for Merry Maids, a national home-cleaning service. After all, you're paying for the job, and communication is the key to getting what you want. Guy Maddalone, the CEO and founder of GTM Household Employment Experts and the author of How to Hire and Retain Your Household Help, says, "Whether it's a nanny, a dog walker, or a house cleaner, that person wants to be successful in their role, so you need to explain the policies in the beginning to set them up for success." Schedule an orientation meeting with the employee at the start and explain your rules, including the places and things that are off-limits. You might even take this a step further by creating your own employee handbook. That way, you'll both have a clear, tangible reference to consult in the future.

Hey guys I am looking for a place where I can take my dog off leash and train her. I really want to work on water retrieving and would like to see if anyone knows of a place near Hartford, or 30-45min away, that I can train? I know there are a lot of clubs but I would like to find a place where I can go by myself or with a friend and train.
It seems that most parks require a leash, so any help would be appreciated!

So here we go.
At the beginning of the second decade of this century, we in the west like to think we are liberal in our attitudes towards other peoples races and those generally different for us. We point to eastern cultures and say that the attitudes they display belong in the past. Discrimination by these nations is frowned upon by us, but we should be very careful about what we say.
People forget that it is yet a lifetime since a white and black man could marry, that gay men could work in government departments. That homosexuality was a crime. You see old habits die hard, although no longer official in nature discrimination still exists in the community. Here in Australia this past week a TV presenter and his daughter were racially abused on a bus, a friend of mine was bashed after leaving a gay nightclub. There will be racial taunts aimed at all sections of the community because someone is different.
Are we really that different from those nations we criticize, just because they do it openly? One could say that the USA is still running state sanctioned discrimination when it comes to black's in long term detention, when it comes to poor suburbs and government funding for school and health services. Here in Australia, aboriginal life expectancy is very low compared to the rest of the nation, but there is another whole story there.
In Australia we are a multi-cultural lot, with peoples living here from all over the world. In general we have done well, we are generally tolerant of all peoples. There have been exceptions to the rule of course the Cronulla race riot for one. But Australia is a stronger nation because of our diversity, but racism and intolerance remains. I have made no secret of my orientation here on this blog or in my life in general. In fact I openly enjoy the macho im not gay things my mates go on with, I find it funny and amusing even more so that they do it in front of me. However I am moving off the point.
As technology moves forward, we will make machines in our image, be they be fully robotic or a biometic design incorporating living tissue. These machines will be able to think, make independent decisions. Very much a "I think therefore I am" situation. Do we or can we afford them the same basic Human rights that we all aspire to? Could we ever see them as our equals ? Considering how much we rise up against anything, anyone different to ourselves, could we incorporate them into our society ?
You see I look at this from someone who has had his rights removed, who has been told by his government and society that he is different and doesn't deserve the rights of everyone else. Although most people don't care as it does not affect them, and if pushed they would stand up for rights and non discrimination, their inaction allows for the status to remain the same. I fear very much for those future beings that we make in our own image. That we would always see them less than human, that we would never allow them the freedom to live and die free as most of us are.
|So Human they look and feel like us
We have a lot to learn, humanity as a whole, soon we will have the ability to play god and create anything we desire, to alter the natural order, to make things in our own image, yet as a global society we are still in the stone ages, Im not sure there is an answer to all of this, and I assume we will become more accepting the longer things go on, but decades after the freedom marches is Washington, racism and discrimination is still rife in all communities around the world the difference is today its done silently.
|A country born under the Southern Cross.
Anyway the Aboriginal issue is one for another post. So do you think we can evolve to accept people for who they are rather than the color of their skin or their sexual orientation, or how they were created ?

"I don't want to live 98.9% for Jesus," … "I want to live 100% for Him!" - Brett McLean
Life Lost
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of attending a memorial service for a young man who, at the age of 26, lost his life I am told, while attempting to save another. Serving as a camp counselor in north central Oregon, Brett McLean (son of Scott and Christie Huggins McLean, Dip '73 ex.) jumped in to a turbulent waterfall to rescue a camper who had slipped and fallen in. Sadly both lives were lost.
I met Brett this past year while working on a film project with one of our alums, Jamie Lawson, as we highlighted the ministry of Multnomah alumni. In such a short period of time I was surprised by how quickly Brett had captured my heart. The joy and enthusiasm for life, which many spoke of at his memorial service, was certainly evident in our brief time together.
100% Committed
"Brett was the guy people want to be like… the guy people loved to be around," Lawson said. "He was a guy who thought of other people first, all the time." "He impacted a lot of people" … "He loved life and touched many!"
The days that followed the news of Brett's passing were sobering for me, as I reflected on the frailty of life and the gift we are given with each new day. Whether facing a terminal illness or enjoying a vibrant and healthy life tomorrow is never promised—it can be taken at any moment.
The memorial service was a beautiful celebration, filled with thought provoking eulogies, awe inspiring worship, and powerful testimonials demonstrating the inspirational influence of Brett's life. He had just shared a few days prior to the accident of his desire to live passionately for the Savior: "I don't want to live 98.9% for Jesus," Brett exclaimed. "I want to live 100% for Him!" Brett's deep and passionate love for the Savior was certainly evident in how he lived and undoubtedly clear by the impact he had on others.
Living Intentionally
I continue to think about the words framed on a commitment card shared at his service: "Jonathan Brett McLean 1986-2012… A life lived as it was sent to do"— Simple and yet powerful words, aren't they, as we think about living our lives focused towards the glory of God?
In just a few short weeks, we'll welcome hundreds of students back to Multnomah's campus—some returning, some entering for the first time—Together they will come with a shared commonality for knowing God's Word and making Him known. Will you join me in praying for these students, that God would use their lives as He has Brett's? That within them a deep passion and love for the Word and an intimate relationship with the Savior would grow.
Even as we think about our own lives and how we might live with the knowledge that each and every day we have the power to move people and to change lives, my prayer is that He would create within us a renewed desire to fulfill our passions and live each day fully committed to Him.
Living the life I was sent to,

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Pres. Sirleaf Calls For Robust Response To End Ebola
MONROVIA, July 22 (LINA) - President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has called for robust national response to end the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) menace that has plagued the country since March this year.
She said Liberians need to help eradicate the virus; otherwise the disease will prevent the country from achieving its full potential.
President Sirleaf told her compatriots that "Ebola is real" and urged them to "Go out and carry the message wherever you are, at home, workplace and school about the dangers of Ebola and ways to prevent it."
According to an presidential press release, the Liberian leader spoke Tuesday at the Ministry of Health during a visit to obtain first hand update on the deadly disease.
President Sirleaf also called on security personnel in various communities to compel sick people to seek medical attention as a way of combating the Ebola virus.
The Liberian leader said no family members are allowed to bury dead relatives without the knowledge of health authorities anywhere in the country.
She said government has provided US$500,000 to fight the deadly Ebola virus.
Also making remarks at the Ministry of Health program was the head of UNMIL, Karin Landgren, who said her organization is collaborating with the government and partners to address the Ebola disease in Liberia.
She said the UNMIL medical team works with the Ministry of Health at Ebola isolation clinics.
Madam Landgren said UNMIL is also supporting efforts by partners, including the World Health Organization and Medicins Sans Frontiers, in managing the caseload.

By Nancy Caivano
Serves 6—8 as a first course
2 lb baking potatoes
4 large carrots, peeled
1-3/4 cups flour
1 egg
Salt and Pepper
1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese (or parmesan)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
(or 1 tsp jar chopped garlic)
2 cups crushed tomatoes with purée
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup basil, julienne
4 tbsp olive oil
1-1/2 cups grated pecorino romano cheese (or parmesan)
First, make gnocchi.
Boil the potatoes in their skins, with the whole carrots until tender. Drain all and peel potatoes. (This can be done the day before also). Mash potatoes and carrots well. Mound mixture on a board. Add flour; mix well. Mound mixture and make a well in the center. Break the egg into the well, add salt and pepper, and 1 cup romano cheese, and knead until the mixture forms a smooth, firm dough.
Cut it into pieces and use the palm of your hand to roll each piece into a long sausage shape. Cut these into 2-1/4-inch cylinders, separating them. Roll each of the gnocchi over the prongs of a fork, pressing down lightly with your thumb; drop them onto a floured board.
Prepare sauce.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until garlic just begins to brown. Add crushed tomatoes and cook, stirring, 15 minutes. Add cream and simmer until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Add herbs and season with salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more and remove from heat.
Cook the gnocchi a few at a time in boiling salted water, lifting them out with a slotted spoon, as soon as they rise to the surface. Place them on kitchen towels to dry.
Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and starting to smoke. Add gnocchi in a single layer and sear to crisp on both sides. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
Place in a bowl and toss with some of the sauce and the remaining romano cheese. Pass with extra sauce and extra romano cheese.

The Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) Response Plan: The Red Book (June 2012) is now available at the National Center for Animal Health Emergency Management (NCAHEM) website here.
This version of the Red Book, as it is commonly called, incorporates comments received on prior versions of the FMD Response Plan from 2010 and 2011 and updates to current Foreign Animal Disease Preparedness and Response materials.
The objectives of this plan are to identify (1) the capabilities needed to respond to an FMD outbreak and (2) the critical activities that will be involved in responding to that outbreak. FMD is a highly contagious viral disease that may affect domestic cloven-hoofed animals (i.e., cattle, swine, sheep, and goats) and many wild animals (i.e., deer, bison, pronghorn antelope, and feral swine).
The plan promotes agricultural security, secures the food supply, guards animal health, and protects public health by providing strategic guidance on responding to an FMD outbreak.

These agencies were selected based on their knowledge, depth of resources, and experience in facilitating the provision of insurance and risk management services meeting the special needs of Wisconsin school districts and CESAs, and their willingness to collaborate with the Plan to expand programming in this regard.
Plan Chair and Elk Mound School District Board member Tim Sivertson is enthused about the new program. "These four firms have made a commitment to offer Wisconsin school districts and CESAs insurance and programs which meet districts' ever-changing needs. That's vitally important as school boards face the challenges presented by reduced budgets and legislative changes."
"All employees will benefit from the Endorsed Agency Program as the Plan and agencies work together to analyze and communicate ideas which yield the most favorable results for improving health and reducing injuries," says Nancy Thompson, Plan Trustee, WASB, Inc. Board President and Waterloo School District Board member.
School districts and CESAs are encouraged to contact the agencies for more information.
In addition, as a WASB member benefit, the Plan continues to offer access to resources and insight from Gänder Consulting Group as a complimentary service. The firm, which sells no insurance, fields inquiries about a multitude of insurance-related topics. Call Joy Gänder at 608-286-0286, or email her at email@example.com, with your questions. Joy has worked with Wisconsin school districts and CESAs for nearly 25 years.

It is not hard to spot a party political conference nowadays. Armed police are in evidence and key roads are closed off. Anxieties about terrorism may be to blame, but security for Labour's spring gathering put a damper on Birmingham's otherwise thriving city centre yesterday. It is not a great advert for politics.
Inside the International Conference Centre the mood of Labour activists was brighter than the weather, though well aware that the May 1 local elections - for which this weekend's conference is a launchpad - could be even tougher than four years ago now the shine is off Brown.
Then the Blair-led governing party lost 450 seats and control of eight councils and was beaten into third place (37%:27%:26%) by the Liberal Democrats. This time there are elections in Wales and 139 English councils. That includes the second city, Birmingham, where an uneasy Tory-Lib Dem coalition ("Con-Dem" to Labour wits) has ruled since defecting Muslim councillors helped break Labour's hold in 2004 by joining the Lib Dems.
Despite a £450m Whitehall grant to posh up New Street station, resentment of London (all that money for CrossRail and the Olympics!) is never far below the surface of Brummie political chat.
The city has bounced back. But decades of shedding manufacturing jobs - 200,000 in the 1980s alone, recalls Labour's local leader, Albert Bore - are not quite over as the Indian steel giant Tata closes in on Rover and Jaguar cars.
But no one yesterday denied that the major surrogate battle between Gordon Brown and David Cameron in 2008 is the London mayoralty. Both sides know the result of Ken v Boris will shape voter perceptions in the general election run-up. So a succession of senior ministers trooped to the ICC podium to pile into Boris Johnson, no laughing matter but "a nasty reactionary elitist with odious views and criminal friends", as Hazel Blears put it.
Mayor Livingstone, the day's star turn, was warmly applauded after saying that London's problems were too important to be left to "George W Boris". He also referred mately to Gordon ("we are the same generation"), Hazel, Tessa and Ed (Balls) as if they had never quarrelled. Their protests confirm the obvious: Boris has them worried.
Addressing Tory councillors in nearby Warwickshire, Mr Cameron promised "neighbourhood budgets" and greater accountability. Labour too has a story to tell if it can get it across. Balls, more Blairite than Blair, now on city academies, spoke of 22 universities coming forward to sponsor them and of 90,000 new apprenticeships.
When Brown addresses the 500-plus delegates this morning he will talk about all he plans to deliver. He could do worse than look around him. The ICC and much else in the revitalised centre - and beyond - are the legacy of Sir Dick Knowles, once Roy Hattersley's Brummie agent and legendary city boss.
He died a fortnight ago - "a bit under-appreciated" says a veteran trade unionist. The thought may spur the PM on.

When i got to hold and shoot one i thought the same thing man i would hate to have to carry that thing
This is a discussion on Thompson sub gun within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; My friend just had his boss give him a Auto ord. .45 acp semi only gun. Model 1927 a1. I had never got to see ...
My friend just had his boss give him a Auto ord. .45 acp semi only gun. Model 1927 a1. I had never got to see 1 up close before. This gun is amazing, but heavy. Had to imagine all those soldiers carrying em during WW2. The action is fairly stiff to work and its difficult to insert mags compared to a modern rifle. Cool piece of history though. Will see if I can get a few picts .
When i got to hold and shoot one i thought the same thing man i would hate to have to carry that thing
I so, so nearly bought one at a gun show last year. Not sure whether I regret it or not - thinking of cost and yeah, the weight!
OTOH - would look awful nice and be a blast to shoot.

Gun???...& of course one equipped with a "drum" mag would weigh even more.
They are a classic firearm, but I sure would rather have toted a M3 Grease Gun around than the Thompson.
& those .45 acp cartridges are weighty too.
I would STILL love to have the one I "passed up" like a dummy years ago.
I finally got to fulfill a lifelong wish last summer: fire a full-auto Thompson. It was at a .50 Caliber and Machine Gun Shoot in eastern Colorado....
After the first magazine, I found out that if you lean into it the recoil was completely managable and you can fire a full mag with total muzzle control.
The sights really sucked, though.
On another Thompson note, I was at a local gunsmith's shop here in Denver (Gunsmoke) and on the wall they had a black & white photo of Jeff Cooper firing a Thompson one-handed with the butt-stock on his chin...
"I surrounded 'em"- Alvin York
"They're ain't many troubles that a man can't fix with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six"- Jeff Cooper
Just gotta have me one of those someday......wanted one for about 30 yrs now.
Pretty sure a Tommy Gun will be my next purchase. SWMBO placed a 1 yr gun purchase restriction on me after the AR, which was the 4th new gun in about 8 months. (Plus lots of other expenditures due to starting IPSC.)
It was my Dad's favorite weapon in WWII. I've shot them several times in the military...one of the ships I was on in the early '70's had 'em in our armory. We used to heave junk (barrels, pallets, etc) over the side for tgt practice.
My life will not be complete til one resides in my safe!
If you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes.
Seems fitting I chime in on this one.. The Thompson's weight, empty is 10 3/4 Lbs.. and 32 inches in length.. Cyclic rate is about 700 RPM... The "L" drum weighs about 4 LBs full, and the "C" drum is about 9Lbs full...They also had 20 and 30 Rnd "stick" mags.....I have 3 Thompsons....the 1921 Colt, also 1921/28 "overstamp" (wich was a 1921, with an "8" stamped over the "1" also with the Cutts Compensator added) and then the 1928 Savage Arms Mfg Thompson. They're really weird to shot, as you need to raise your head and strain your neck to shoulder shoot the weapon. Recoil?? what recoil..LOL.....nothing at all, due to it's weight..These have been in my possesion since around 1980-82, and were bought VERY "expensive" at THAT time.(.850.00 to 1500.00 each) Today however, I believe they're upwards of around 25-30K each..
All this Thompson talk has me considering a trip to the local indoor range today to rent the Thompson there. $10 to rent it plus you have to shoot their ammo.
Weight with a loaded drum is up around 15lbs or so. You get used to it after a while, but since I work in sheetmetal I have an advantage, my upper body gets a pretty good workout 40 hours a week (in addtion to weightlifting).
The drum for semi autos is more of a PITA than anything. Since there's no BHO with an empty drum, you need three hands to remove it. One to hold the bolt, one for the mag release, and another to push the drum out. AO sells a third hand for locking the bolt, but it gets lost too easily (I've had three). Also, 30 round sticks run about 20 bucks, and new drums are somewhere between $250 and $300. I still feel that you should have at elast one drum, just to piss of the antis.
The sights do indeed, suck. The flip up sight is much better, and how I normally shoot mine. The front pistol grip looks good, however the horizontal foregrip of the M1 and the 1927 commando feels much better IMO.
Reliabilty isnt an issue, I havent had mine apart in a year or more. I simply lock the bolt back and squirt some break-free in it.
Mag changes arent bad, radiusing the mag where it slides into the gun helps, but of course there's no substitute for practice.
Accuracy? Depends on the shooter, the gun itself does its part very well. I havent got to shoot my recent purchase (a commando model), but my other 1927 (below) is a blast, and always attracts a crowd at the range.
my dad "brought" his tommy gun back from ww2. my mother caught my brother playing with it in the summer of '60 and freaked. even though there was no ammo in the house, the old man got rid of it. gave it his friend who was living in upstate ny.
went out and shot it this weekend. As well as almost no recoil it was really quiet to shoot. The ladder sight with peep was fun too. We could get hits on old M 60 tanks at a couple hundred yards. Also the weight may vary between guns due to barrel length and stock material.
Yeah, I forgot to mention how quiet they are. I can hear the bolt cycle over the report of the gunshot. My little brother was shooting it last weekend and I took my ears off to get an idea of how loud it was indoors, and, while it was loud, it wasnt loud enough to give me a dial tone.

Spirit of Georgetown
The spirit was alive and well as Niloo and David Howe hosted supporters of the Georgetown Ministry Center at their hidden treasure of a home on October 14 to honor the Reverend Stuart Kenworthy of Christ Church, Georgetown. Georgetown Ministry Center is a non-profit social service organization assisting the homeless. The evening also saluted the 95th birthday of Georgetown doyenne Frida Burling. Lauded as "a man of faith a source of strength, wisdom and peace," Rev. Kenworthy, surrounded by his family, hailed the "connectiveness" of the Goergetown community, "a village in one of greatest cities in the world." Guests delighted in the temptation-filled buffet and libations provided by Serendipity3 and Potomac Wine and Spirits.

Donovan Ricketts (Los Angeles)
Ten saves, several of them spectacular, propelled the Galaxy past Toronto, 2-1, at BMO Field for its second win of the season.
Geoff Cameron (Houston)
Capped off a strong game in central defense by sprinting back from the midfield line to block a shot attempt by substitute Justin Mapp with a perfectly timed slide tackle in the final minutes of a 1-0 win in Chicago.
Jay Heaps (New England)
The former Duke basketball player (remember that?) scored a nice goal just before halftime and contributed a crisp assist during a three-goal second-half onslaught to celebrate his 300 th MLS appearance.
Danny O'Rourke (Columbus)
Dropped to the back line from his holding midfield position after Chad Marshall was ejected as the 10-man Crew dug in to successfully fend off Kansas City attacks and preserve a 2-0 win. O'Rouke and his mates blocked numerous shots to frustrate the Wizards, who played with a man advantage for 40 minutes (including stoppage time).
Fred (D.C. United)
Set up a goal for Santino Quaranta with a great move to the byline and diagonal ball, and opened up the New York defense a few more times in a 2-0 victory.
Arturo Alvarez (San Jose)
He's still not a paragon of consistency but dangerous nonetheless, and darted inside to blast his second golazo of 2009 as the Quakes tied Dallas, 2-2, for their first road point of the season.
Richard Mulrooney (Houston)
Returned to the holding midfield spot he's played for most of his career to help Houston defuse the Fire, 1-0, on the road. Thwarted Chicago's best chance by heading away Patrick Nyarko's point-blank header from underneath the crossbar.
Shalrie Joseph (New England)
Back in midfield after playing much of the time up front, he set up two goals as the Revs overpowered New York in the second half to win going away, 4-0.
Fabian Espindola (Real Salt Lake)
His precise crossfield ball to Yura Movsisyan may not have been his best serve of the night while ranging out to the left flank, but Movsisyan turned it into a spectacular goal as RSL tied Colorado, 1-1.
Taylor Twellman (New England)
The Revs all-time leading scorer tuned up for his return to competitive play against Kansas City this weekend by banging in the 100th and 101st regular-season goals of his career against the Red Bulls, who are an MLS team in name only.
Alan Gordon (Los Angeles)
Headed home a serve from Eddie Lewis early in the match and set up Edson Buddle for a late winner as the Galaxy beat Toronto on the road, 2-1.

Another study on solar influence
Fig. 2 showing band-passed random data. A range of 0.5 – 2.0 suggests that there is a risk that one of the amplitudes in two noisy series is twice the value of the other.
The fact that there is poor correspondence between the individual amplitudes of the band-passed filtered signals (Fig. 4 in Scafetta & West, 2005) is another sign indicating that the fluctuations associated with a frequency band in temperature is not necessarily related to solar variability. In fact, the 7.3-14.7 and 14.7-29.3 frequency bands may contain contributions from El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), although the time scale of ENSO is from 3-8 years. The fact that the amplitude of the events vary from time to time implies slower variations, just like modulations of the sunspot number has led to the proposition of the Gleissberg cycles (80-90 years). There is also volcanic activity, and the last major eruption in 1982 and 1991 are almost 10 years apart, and may contribute to the variance in the 7.3-14.7 year frequency range. S&W argue that their method eliminates influences of ENSO and volcanoes because their calculated sensitivity in the higher frequency band is similar to the one derived by Douglass and Clader (2002) by regression analysis (0.11 K/Wm-2). This conclusion is not valid. Having signals of different frequencies in the 7-15 years band, the amplitude of the signal in the higher band may correspond roughly to the 11-year signal by accident, but that doesn't mean that there are no other influences.
S&W combined two different types of data, and it is well-known that such combinations in themselves may introduces spurious trends. The paper does not address this question.
From regression analysis cited by the authors (Douglass and Clader 2002, White et al. 1997), it seems possible that the sensitivity of global surface temperature to variations of total solar irradiance might be about 0.1K/Wm-2. S&W do not present any convincing result that would point to noticeably higher sensitivities to long-term variations. Their higher values are based on unrealistic assumptions. If they would use a more realistic climate transfer sensitivity of 0.11K/Wm-2, or even somewhat higher (0.12 or 0.13) for the long-term, and use trends instead of smooth curve points, they would end up with solar contributions of 10% or less for 1950-2000 and near 0% and about 10% in 1980-2000 using the PMOD and ACRIM data, respectively.
We have alread discussed the connection between solar activity (here , here, here, and here), and this new analysis does not alter our previous conclusions: that there is not much evidence pointing to the sun being responsible for the warming since the 1950s.

If i had to go by TIS i would not be able to change my alternator bracket gasket...since they were saying you need engine hoist,special tools etc etc
who ever made TIS needs to go back to university or college....all you need to work on bmw vehicles is tools and common sense and forum like bimmerfest....
well if you forget to draw a picture of belt routing,i guess you shouldn't be working on the car,but there is schematics on google just in case you do....
here is my link doing alternator bracket/alternator and some other small stuff...and i didn't follow TIS...this forum is all you need my friend....alternator replacement is really not that hard just need couple of hours and cool head,and since you in there check for any leaks...vacuum lines etc etc

Algebra 2
posted by Sarah .
Find the dimensions and area of the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in a right triangle whose sides are 9cm, 12cm, 15cm.
Use quadratic functions to solve.
Put the points of the triangle at (0,0), (0,9) and (12,0)
Let the insribed rectangle have corners at:
(0,0), (x,0), (x,y'), and (0,y')
y' is on the hypotenuse of the triangle, so that
y = 12 - (4/3)x
So y' = 12 - (4/3)x
The rectangle area is
A(x) = x*y' = 12 x - (4/3)x^2
There is a maximum when dA/dx = 0
12 = (8/3) x
x = (3/8)*12 = 4.5
y' = 12 - (4/3)(9/2) = 5
The maximum rectangle area is xy'= 22 and the side lengths are 4.5 and 5.
This is normally a challenging calculus problem, however it can be worked with similar triangles, or algebra.
First, note the triangle is a right triangle. Lay it out so the 12 dimension is on the x axis, and the 9 is on the y axis.
Note the equation of the hypotenuse is
y=-9/12 x + 9
let one side of the rectangle going upward as h, and the side along the x axis as W. So the intersection with the hypotenuse is w,-9w/12 + 9
So the drill is to find the max area.
h= -9/12 w + 9
Area= hw= -9/12 w^2+9w
so when is Area max?
I calculated the point on the hypotenuse incorrectly. It is
y' = 12 - (4/3)(9/2) = 6
The rectangle side lengths are 4.5 and 6, and the area is 27. That equals half the area of the triangle, (1/2)*9*12 = 54. BobPursley tells me that Euclid proved this in many different ways, without calculus.
Thanks to Bob for pointing this out
A package with square ends has a combined length and girth (girth is the perimeter of a cross section) of 120 in. The surface area of the entire package is 3600 sq. in.
Determine the dimensions of thr package. s in.*s in.*l in.
one solution is: 11.08in*11.08in*75.68in.
find the other solution
hint: if 4S + length=120, then the length=120-4S
Round your answer to 2 decimals
Enter the 3 dimensions separated by comas

We're just a few days away from our annual trip to Washington D.C. for the Children's Hospital Association's Family Advocacy Day.
While health reform has provided a step in the right direction for pediatric patients by ensuring health insurance coverage for dependents until age 26, and keeping insurance companies from capping needed health care services kids rely on, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Experts agree that several proposals have the potential to harm children's access to care.
- Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME), a national program solely devoted to helping children's hospitals train pediatricians and pediatric specialists, supports the training and development of nearly half of all pediatricians and pediatric specialists practicing in the U.S. Unfortunately, CHGME funding is far below the support needed to close the gap between demand for care and the supply of pediatric specialists. The result is a national shortage of pediatric specialists.
- Medicaid, a federal-state program that provides health coverage to one in three children faces proposals that would slash program funding. President Obama's fiscal year 2013 budget proposes Medicaid cuts of $56 billion over a 10-year period. The House fiscal year 2013 budget proposes capping the amounts of funding states receive for Medicaid, which could negatively impact children's health care.
At Dayton Children's we know that children are not small adults. They are constantly growing and developing, and need specially trained health care providers who can meet their needs. To ensure they get the best care to grow and succeed child health programs should be protected, not cut.
This is why we are so happy The Cutter Family will be joining us in Washington D.C. to share their story of why pediatric specialists are so important.
We hope you will follow them on their journey!

Dorm Room Decorating: Making Your College Kid's Dorm a Room of Their Own
My daughter has a real sense of style. Unfortunately, her dorm room doesn't. We want her to be comfortable but have obvious limitations on what we can change. Any tips to decorate her dorm room and spruce up her space without adding to our already sky-high college costs?
When creating large canvas and fabric prints for wall mounting, select fire-retardant treated fabrics. In dorm rooms where melees are known to occur, best be protected by ensuring fire safety by preventing ignition if it comes in contact with a lamp or hot AC adapter.
Another safety consideration is proactive bed bug prevention. Use pillow and mattress covers at move-in.
