Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/11/2013 (1317 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Canadians who score cross-border deals in the United States continue to get caught while pushing their luck with lies at the border.
The Canada Border Services Agency said today that it had seized items from 28 people trying to cross the border into Manitoba in October, and issued more that $24,500 in fines.
The bulk of the troubles were at Manitoba's busiest border crossing, Emerson, directly south of Winnipeg. But two were reported at Boissevain.
On Oct. 16, the CBSA says, a Manitoba man arrived at the Boissevain crossing and declared a recreational vehicle at $1,500. Border officers say their investigation revealed he had actually paid $4,300.
The vehicle was seized and a $725 penalty was paid for its return. Had the man been honest, the CBSA says he would have only paid $225 in GST.
Then, on Oct. 26, a Saskatchewan man returning to Canada through Boissevain declared a boat he had purchased in the United States at $5.500. Officers felt the value appeared low and investigated further.
They say they determined that he had actually paid $7,500. The boat was seized and only returned to the man once a $1,430 penalty was paid. Had the value been delclared properly, he would have only paid $375 in GST.

In many households, the potential for major drug addiction is within easy reach. Prescription drugs can get into the wrong hands, and the results can be tragic.
"Every home has the potential to be in the drug-dealing business," Paducah police Detective John Tolliver said. "People keep their prescriptions in the same places, like a night stand or a medicine cabinet. Kids, visitors, friends - they all know where to look already. The number of people going into grandma's medicine cabinet to get high is astounding."
Tolliver recently celebrated a one-year anniversary as the Paducah Police Department's prescription drug diversion investigator. The position was created in early 2013 after the state and region noticed an increase in overdose deaths and prescription pill addictions. At that time, Kentucky was in the top 10 states nationally for prescription pill deaths. Prescription pills were the third most commonly abused item, behind marijuana and alcohol, Tolliver said.
For the past year, Tolliver has been on the streets to combat the problem head-on. Last year, he opened 145 cases and arrested 40 people on multiple charges.
Tolliver had experience with working prescription drug issues in the department's drug unit and had been working script cases almost exclusively before taking the new position last year. Now he spends his days - and sometimes nights, lunch hours and weekends - trying to curb one of the city's biggest drug problems.
"I spend every minute working," Tolliver said. "I could pull 12-hour days and still have things to do. There's no shortage of issues to tackle."
Tolliver's goals are three-fold: prevention, education and enforcement. If he does the first two, he says, the need for the third will be lessened. So he preaches prescription drug safety to just about anyone who will listen, from the elderly to students to parents and teachers.
Part of the prevention process was setting up a network with local pharmacies. If a doctor's prescription pad is stolen, or if a known "pill head" is searching for his next fix, one call or fax notifies all of the pharmacies. The prompt information helps the department tackle potential problems proactively.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration sponsors two prescription drug take-back events a year, where locals can drop off unused medications to be disposed of properly. This year, the spring event will be held on April 26 at Kentucky Oaks Mall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tolliver will be touting that event around town for the next few weeks as he makes his rounds.
"It's a passion project, because not everyone who is hooked on drugs started out with that intent," Tolliver said.
"Most of them were hurting and took something, and then they couldn't stop. Then they steal whatever or sell whatever they can. I want people to know who I am, because if they know who to call, it's easier for me to get information. Some of that information may not pan out, but some of it could save a life."

Guys, I have an opportunity to spend a week in Kansas near St John the first of December 2012 as some friends have invited me to tag along (they're going for whitetails) and I would rather go for some duck hunting. Their deer guide has said he would hook me up with some duck hunting, for a very nominal rate, but I just question how much opportunity is there in that area that time of year. I have not looked for any public land in that area but I assume that there would be some. He has some decoys but he is not a waterfowl guide so I can't expect him to have a pile. Below are my questions.
1 Is the hunting primarily dry ag fields?
2 Is the water still "Ice off" during early December (assuming a normal year)
3 Can i get by with 4-5 doz mallard dekes?
4 Is there much opportunity to find my own birds & do my own scouting or public hunting? For me scouting & locating is a good deal of the fun.
5 With a normal year what is the migration like during that time.
I am going to spend some good times with some good friends, although we will be hunting different game, so I don't expect to go & whack a limit every morning but I would like to have a little action. If I do it I will also be bringing by dog so I hate to go through the pain to get her out there to find out it is the wrong place at the wrong time, after all the dog is my best friend out of all the folks I will be spending time with in Kansas!
Thanks in advance

Institutional Base Salary (IBS)
Institutional base salary is the annual compensation paid by the University of Washington for an employee's appointment, whether that individual's time is spent on research, instruction, administration, service or clinical activity. Institutional base salary excludes any income that an individual is permitted to earn outside of his/her duties for the University of Washington.
The IBS salary sources on which committed and actual effort should be based include:
- Regular Salary (REG - including A/B Salary)
- Summer Salary (SUM)
- Paid Professional Leave (PLP)
- Salary for Retired Faculty (TFA)
- Administrative Supplements (ADS)
- Endowed Supplements (ENS)
- Clinical Salary paid through UWP and CUMG
More information on IBS can be found in GIM 35, Effort Reporting Policy for Sponsored Agreements.
Regular Salary (REG)
Regular salary is the standard monthly rate paid to salaried employees. This includes faculty.
A/B salary has two components - a state committed salary support (A) and additional support funded by grants and contracts (B).
- The B component is dependent on the faculty member's ability to generate funding from sponsored research sources.
- The combination of A and B components form the faculty member's University based salary.
- Both the A and B portions are included in regular (REG) salary.
Summer Salary (SUM)
Summer salary is defined as pay for faculty with 9 month appointments who will continue to work during the summer quarter.These faculty may be eligible to receive grant and contract appointments in the summer, normally not exceeding 2.5 months. This appointment must be consistent with sponsor policy.
Paid Professional Leave (PLP)
Paid Professional Leave is granted to faculty with the goal of increasing their scholarship and professional development. This type of leave is commonly described as a sabbatical and is normally granted to faculty to support the opportunity for dedicated time for study and research.
Retirement Exempt Pay (TFA)
Tenured faculty members are permitted to be re-employed up to 40% full time FTE paid from all sources. Funds may be from grants and contracts as well as state and other funding sources. If salary paid to retired faculty is coded with TFA earn type, these distributions are included in the IBS and qualify the faculty member to receive an FEC.
Administrative and Endowed Supplements (ADS, ENS)
Administrative supplements (ADS) are added compensation for assuming higher level work. For instance, a department chair or dean would receive an administrative supplement for the duties associated with those positions.
Endowed supplements (ENS) are permanent funds supporting a purpose of the giver's choosing and are commonly used to endow faculty professorships or chair appointments.
NOTE: Administrative and Endowed Supplements
- are always included in the IBS used in proposals,
- form part of the IBS used to calculate effort on the FEC,
- do not have FTE associated with them in the payroll system,
- and require adjustments in OPUS to ensure grants/contracts display correctly on the FEC. Use the ADS/ENS Calculator to determine the correct percentage for OPUS distributions.
Clinical Salary
Institutional Base Salary (IBS) also includes salary paid through the University of Washington Physicians (UWP) and Children's University Medical Group (CUMG) practice plans. Salary from UWP and CUMG is automatically included in the online FEC IBS calculations.
eFECS downloads data from the two practice plans once a month, normally around the 5th. This download contains data for the last two years, including any changes (e.g... retro pay) processed on the Change Transaction Memo (CTM). These changes will be reflected on uncertified FECs as soon as the download is complete.
Since clinical salary does not appear in the UW payroll system and therefore does not have an associated FTE, adjustments should be made in OPUS to ensure that effort on sponsored projects displays correctly on the FEC.

B-Real Takes 'Smoke N Mirrors' on the Road With EPMD
When Cypress Hill's B-Real jumps on board EPMD's tour in late March, he realizes that, without the help of Sen Dog and Eric Bobo, the onus will be on him to entertain the audience.
"Yeah I believe there's going to be some pressure," B-Real said during an interview with The BoomBox via telephone from New York City. "Right now I'm not feeling it too much. I think when the ball gets rolling and we actually get out there on tour with the first show, it's going to be a little bit of pressure."
The pressure comes from performing his solo material to new audiences. He recently released the album "Smoke N Mirrors" through his newly formed Audio Hustlaz label in conjunction with Duck Down Records.
"These songs are new. Not everybody knows them. Who knows if anyone's even gonna know them by the time we get on tour. It's basically playing new material to a bunch of people. That's always a gamble. They're either going to love it or they're going to hate it. We're just gonna take it as it comes and work as hard as possible to convert some people."
On his jaunt opening for the rap legends, B-Real is going to bring his Philadelphia protege Young De and DJ Julio G.
"We're looking forward to going out on tour with EPMD, opening up for them," B-Real said. "I believe it's a six-week tour. We're looking forward to going out and playing this record in front of people and seeing what the response is and what not.
"With Cypress there's obviously Sen Dog, myself and Bobo. (DJ) Muggs doesn't tour much with us anymore. We usually bring a pretty live and energetic show between the four of us. With my solo stuff, it's pretty much going to be on my back. But I will have my partner Young De and my DJ Julio G. It should be fun. We're going to have fun."
For those who can't wait for the EPMD dates to be announced, B-REAL will perform a release shows Wednesday, Feb. 25, at SOB's in New York City. B-Real is also set to co-headline the Paid Dues Festival at the NOS Events Center in Southern California on March 28.
"I'm looking forward to playing that," B-Real said about Paid Dues. "Anything without Cypress is pretty much a challenge, so I look forward to it. We'll see how people react to the music."

The Utah Jazz are optimistic that center Kyrylo Fesenko will be with the team when training camp starts in late September, sources said Friday.
The Jazz have an outstanding contract offer to Fesenko that is still on the table. Whether or not the third-year center from Ukraine decides to accept the deal is in the hands of his camp. Utah prefers to have the situation resolved before training camp begins, though, and the team could press harder for Fesenko to make a decision during the next two weeks.
The Jazz could also add another Franciso Elson-type contract before camp starts. However, the team will more likely choose to have lesser-known players compete for the few remaining open roster spots.

This study reviewed that Neurologic Phenotypes Associated with Mutations in SAMHD1 in patients with Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome.
cytokines play a major role in the reservoir establishment not only by driving homeostatic proliferation but also by increasing susceptibility of CD4 (show CD4 Proteins)+ lymphocytes to HIV-1 infection through SAMHD1 inactivation.
These observations suggest that heterozygous cancer-associated SAMHD1 mutations increase mutation rates in cancer cells.
The SAMHD1 restricts HIV-1 infection in non-cycling cells by limiting the pool of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, thereby interfering with HIV-1 reverse transcription.
Interferonstimulated gene factor 3 complex, which consists of STAT1 (show STAT1 Proteins), STAT2 (show STAT2 Proteins) and IRF9 (show IRF9 Proteins), is required for the induction of SAMHD1 expression by IFN-alpha (show IFNA Proteins) in SMMC-7721 cells.
Studied whether one or more SAMHD1 gene mutations are associated with cerebrovascular disease in the general population using a Chinese stroke cohort.
SAMHD1 may facilitate some aspects of THP-1 cell differentiation.
Therefore, our findings revealed that factors in addition to Vpx-SAMHD1 binding influence the efficiency of Vpx-mediated SAMHD1 degradation.
These results argue against a requirement for additional myeloid-specific host factors for SAMHD1 function but further support the notion that SAMHD1 possesses an additional dNTP-independent function contributing to lentiviral restriction.
This review summarizes the latest advances in understanding the importance of dNTP metabolism in cancer development and the novel function of SAMHD1 in regulating this process.
Data suggest that zebrafish may represent a system for studying the relationship between type I interferon (show IFNA Proteins) (IFN) signaling and a loss of deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase SAMHD1 activity.
SAMHD1 in the mouse blocks retroviral infection at the level of reverse transcription and is regulated through cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation.
phosphorylation of mSAMHD1 at T634 by CDK1 (show CDK1 Proteins)/2 negatively regulates its HIV-1 restriction in differentiated cells, but does not affect its murine leukemia virus restriction in dividing cells.
SAMHD1 restricts HIV-1 replication and regulates interferon (show IFNA Proteins) production in mouse myeloid cells.
Allosteric regulation by dATP and dTTP works similarly in human and mouse SAMHD1.
SAMHD1 decreases dNTP pool in murine cells, restricts retroviral replication and regulates type I IFN production.
SAMHD1 can restrict lentiviruses in vivo and that nucleotide starvation is an evolutionarily conserved antiviral mechanism.
there are several Vpx residues required for SAMHD1 degradation
Vpx targets SAMHD1 for degradation in a viral strategy to control cellular deoxynucleotide levels for efficient replication
This gene may play a role in regulation of the innate immune response. The encoded protein is upregulated in response to viral infection and may be involved in mediation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha proinflammatory responses.

I bet there have been a few traffic accidents in Philly in the last ten days. Clearly, there are too many cars on the streets. They need to stop issuing driver's licenses and make it more difficult to buy a car.
If the mayor believes the drivel he's spouting, he's a moron. If he doesn't believe it, he's an elitist who believes that the average person can't be trusted. Either way, he fails as a public servant. ("Servant? Me? How DARE you call me that!")
An attorney in a defensive shooting course I took advised that we carry a copy or two of our permit, in order to hand to the officer(s) if necessary. Show them the original, but give them the copy. That way they have any info they need without having to copy it down, and you retain physical control of the permit.
Somebody is really trying to put the screws to this guy. How ironic that this is taking place in the "Birthplace of Independence."

What have I learned from this? The cardinal rule of "Be the first to call 911" may not be the be-all-and-end-all of the solution.
What other lesson have I learned? Get a second or third carry permit if your own state allows residents to have a carry permit from another state and accepts it as valid.
What's the last one? Details forthcoming after my court date, nothing else before. Mar. 31 initial, then meeting with city attorney shortly thereafter and hopefully dismissal.

Tantalus Media's New Wii U Title is a Port From "Top-Notch" Publisher
You can bet the farm that Tantalus isn't going the Funky Barn route.
A few days ago, we reported that Melbourne, Australia-based video game developer Tantalus Media is working on delivering a new AAA title for Wii U. According to the company's job posting, Tantalus is in need of two contract Engine Programmers to start a "new AAA Next-Gen title in January 2014." One of the desired skill sets for the position includes having "Nintendo Wii or Wii U development experience."
We recently contacted Joss Ellis, the company's director of development, for more information about the title. Here's what Mr. Ellis has shared with us.
It is a 'port' but more of a complete rework for the Wii U: a bit like the work we did on Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut.
I can't say what the title is but it is very exciting and is for an absolute top notch publisher.
This game will be credited Tantalus … it's not an MA / 18 or 'hard core' game which ME-3 and DX:HR are.
We anxiously await more information about the title and will deliver more news to you as we receive it. If you, or anyone you know, have Wii U development experience, the positions are still available.
What we do know is that the company has a love for BioWare, the creative developers responsible for delivering the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and a host of other high-quality software.
What game are you hoping Tantalus bring to Wii U?

Hello, sBrooks.
Tantalus Media's sister company is Straight Right. I'm not aware, not have I heard otherwise, of Straight Right going under. I mean, they're DOWN UNDER (see what I did there?) though. And, where did you read this? What's your source?

You know, i have a feeling it might be square enix, maybe kingdom hearts 1.5 hd or final fantasy..
Can you ask if it's a publisher like Activison, Ubisoft, and the like and not something like Minecraft to see if he'll indirectly confirm its not it?
Hello, Hero of Legend.
Let me think about how to deliver that without pushing too hard. Stay tuned. I can't promise you anything but if I receive any additional info, we'll publish it.
A top "NOTCH" publisher… nothing here seems hinting, heheh~ ;D
Ha! If this is Minecraft…oh never mind!
Heh, you said that, not me~ but maaaaybe :D
Actually, Joss started it. ;)
I seriously doubt it's Minecraft though. If it is, I'll be very surprised.
So vague… guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'd rather find out not long before the actual release. The long waits are a killer.
But it's not a Funky Barn title! :P

2015 BMW M4 Convertible Costs $73,425
Getting into BMW's new M4 convertible will cost you at least $73,425, which is roughly $8,000 more than the hardtop version.
That price includes shipping and handling and will give you the latest in M performance technology. A 3.0-liter straight six sends 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, besting the previous M3's V8 by a few ponies and a whopping measure of torque.
There's still a six-speed manual transmission in the standard equipment list, althoguh BMW will swap it for a seven-speed dual clutch if you kick in an extra $2,900.
BMW's latest product strategy involves splitting models into new nameplates in order to charge a thicker premium on more stylized variants. In this case, the 3 Series coupe and convertible models are now under the new "4 Series" nameplate. The company will make a similar move with the new X4 crossover, which will be a more style-focused version of the X3 sold at a premium.

Last season's NCAA Tournament could be considered a magical run for the Seminoles by many.
After all, the 'Noles were just one buzzer beater away from advancing to the Elite Eight to face No. 1 seed Kansas. Florida State held VCU to just three points in the final seven and a half minutes in regulation before falling victim in overtime.
However, last season was last season, and this year's team will be different. There is no Chris Singleton and there is no Derwin Kitchen, meaning that at least 40 percent of the starting lineup will be new.
It will be coach Leonard Hamilton's job to find a way to make this team mesh quickly to compete in the powerful Atlantic Coast Conference. After several mediocre seasons at FSU and two quick exits from the NCAA Tournament in 2009 and 2010, Hamilton appears to have the 'Noles headed in the right direction.
The question is: Will that continue?
Hamilton and the Seminoles could be staring at their toughest schedule in years. Typical ACC powerhouses such as Duke and North Carolina will be strong again. However, the 'Noles will also travel to Florida, Michigan State and could face nationa-champion Connecticut in an early-season tournament.
If Hamilton is going to remain in a positive light with FSU fans, then he's going to have to find a way to win some of those games.
Of course, there is always the question of who to blame if the team falters. Is it the coach, or is it the players? Common sense would tell us that at least some blame must fall on the players. After all, Hamilton isn't playing offense or defense. He isn't dribbling, shooting or scoring.
However, he is still the coach, and that title demands a certain amount of responsibility.
His recent track record at FSU would suggest that perhaps things look bright for the Seminoles this season. They are the top-rated defensive team in the country under Hamilton's guidance and have appeared in a school record-tying three consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
However, the 2011-12 roster will feature several new faces, and a team with that many new members may suffer through some growing pains. With Singleton in the NBA and Kitchen overseas, the team's top returning scorer is Michael Snaer. Snaer averaged just under nine points per game last season and will need to do more if the team is going to be a factor in the ACC.
Talented incoming freshman Terry Whisnant and Antwan Space may be asked to contribute immensely. Can they handle the major talent difference between high school and the ACC? We can't predict that now. Only time will tell.
However, one thing that can be predicted is that in order to keep Hamilton off the hot seat, the Seminoles will have to remain competitive. Florida State opens the season Halloween night ranked 20th in the nation. With that comes certain expectations. If those expectations are not fulfilled, then Hamilton may once again find himself in a familiar position: on the aforementioned hot seat.
Fair or unfair, it's the way sports work.
Try pointing a finger at 15 people. It's impossible. Now try pointing a finger at just one person. Much easier, isn't it?
Matt Ritter is the basketball reporter for NoleDigest.com and a graduate student in Media Communication Studies at Florida State.
Can Hamilton stay off the hot seat?

Monrovia parents on alert for suspicious man
Police are putting extra patrols in Morgan County neighborhoods after teenagers report a suspicious man approaching them while they waited for their school bus.
Parents in a Monrovia neighborhood are on the lookout for a man in a gray pick-up truck, who they say has been driving up and down roads in the early morning hours as kids get on school buses. They say the man has approached two teenagers in the past two weeks in the Briarwood Lake subdivision.
One of those teenagers, a 15-year-old boy, told police the man asked him if he wanted a ride.
The other incident came just a week later. That's when a 15-year-old girl says she saw the same man, described as being in his mid 30s, dressed in black, standing on the street near her home. He took off into the woods when he saw her notice him.
Both incidents have caused fear in the school district and prompted parents to put warnings on a Facebook page, telling kids and adults to be on guard.
Police are saying they're doing what they can to look out for the man. They've put officers in the area when kids get on the school bus in the morning and at night when they get off of them.
That's done little, though, to calm fears of parents who didn't want to speak on camera.
They don't know who the man is, but they're afraid of what he wants and they're worried that finding out might mean a child becomes a victim of a crime they don't want to think about.

It did not take long for the issue of meat traceability to turn from tragedy to farce, with the suggestion that the adulterated meat in "beef" products includes not just horse but donkey.
It may be that the problem originated with the mislabelling of meat from Romanian abattoirs but the real issue here is the long chain of suppliers that furnish the fillers for commercial meat products from all over Europe. Now the Prime Minister has called in Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Environment Secretary Owen Paterson to explain the situation, in a belated effort to take charge of the scandal.
The Food Standards Agency has responsibility for monitoring the safety and traceability of our meat. It appears to have failed badly in spotting this problem, though it was not helped by ministers' attempt to abolish it in 2010 (it was spared in the end, with some powers removed). But the FSA is in any case powerless to address the underlying issue: supermarkets exerting ever-greater cost pressures on suppliers to keep products cheap, and consumers' willingness to tolerate the low standards of many ready meals. The problem is not just cultural, in the sense that most British people would probably not knowingly want to eat horse or donkey; there is also a risk of the horse medicine phenylbutazone, or bute, entering the food chain.
It is welcome that ministers are now taking the issue seriously. But unless we are able to pay realistic prices for better-quality meat, and until supermarkets raise their standards of traceability, then such scandals are likely to recur.
Paying for care
The Government's plan to solve the crisis in funding care for the old was almost bound to attract criticism. But while it inevitably involves compromises — and some contributing more — it is a sensible effort to grasp a nettle that was avoided by the last government. More people living longer means that the present crisis in social care can only get worse: there will be more people to look after, for longer, at greater cost.
The Government's solution is a fully-funded plan whose costs will be borne in part by a freeze on the inheritance tax threshold and mostly by an increase in employers' national insurance contributions. It sets a lifetime cap of £75,000 on what anyone will have to pay for their nursing care. At the same time, the threshold for personal assets after which people will have to start to pay will rise from £23,250 to £123,000.
This increase will go some way to ending the problem of old people being forced to sell their houses to pay for care — something that up to 40,000 a year have to do at present. Critics say that the cap on costs is too high: the review into the future of social care led by economist Andrew Dilnot called for a basic care cap of between £25,000 and £50,000. Yet it is impossible to get rid of the house-sale problem since the costs of funding social care are simply too large to be funded out of general taxation. This plan deserves to succeed.
The Pope's decision
Today's surprise news that Pope Benedict XVI is to resign has caused consternation in the Catholic world. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was chosen as pope less than eight years ago, following the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005. But whatever the grandeur of his office, the Pope is 85: for him apparently to decide that he can no longer discharge his duties given his age and health is a sign of humility.

Impressions from the European Geophysical Union conference 2008
Last week, the European Geophysical Union held its annual general assembly, with thousands of geophysicists converging on the city of Vienna, Austria. It was time to take the pulse of the geophysical community.
When registering at the conference, we got a packet called 'Planet Earth; Directions for Use'. As far as I know, this is a new feature apparently offered by the EGU. The box says 'EGU cares…' and it contains 4 sheets: Biosphere, Hydrosphere, Litho- and Pedosphere, and the Atmosphere. The Biosphere sheet is concerned about the biodiversity, the hydropshere discusses water shortage and loss of marshland issues, the litho- & pedosphere mentions the fact that fossil fuels are finite and soil erosion, and the atmosphere discusses AGW.
Of course this is a gimmick, and perhaps it is even aimed at the wrong target group. These issues are more or less taken as given by the majority of the EGU community by now, it seems. It's more pressing, however, that the rest of the world population understand the problems.
Actually, it was refreshing arriving at the harbor of sanity in the EGU meeting, after the the insane climate-change debate circus in Norway at the moment – lead by a number of academics who start to look more and more like crack pots, and a right-wing populist political party taking after Inhofe.
What were the highlights? It's impossible to cover everything, and I only sampled some talks which are most relevant to my own work. But one important talk was about setting the global climate models' initial state (ocean) to describe the current climate. The intention was to capture subsequent slow natural variations (decadal variation) associated with the thermohaline circulation (THC, not to be confused with other meanings according to a recent article in Eos: VOLUME 89 NUMBER 11 11 March 2008).
Apparently, if the global climate model is initialized with the current state, then the global mean temperature may not rise much over the next decade or so, and then suddenly bounce up and converge with the current scenarios. But some critiques argue that forcing models to have a prescribed state, will trow them off balance, and that the model will try to recover its balance for the next few model years.
Another presentation discussed the possibility for slow climatic variations to be predicted 10 years in advance (potential decadal predictability), and concluded that there is a potential for over the North Atlantic regions – associated with the THC. But an increasing AGW may destroy this possibility, as the predictability reduces when the world gets warmer.
There are some interesting and newish data coming of age: radio occultation. This involves measuring the bending of GPS signal through the atmospheric limb, as measured between different satellites. The atmospheric temperature and humidity affect radio signals refractive index. But there is only short data series (~10 years), but so far the temperature trends are consistent with the models for similar intervals. But these are independent to the satellite MSU data, and do not suffer in the same way from differences between satellite instruments, etc.
My personal favourite this time was a talk on 'recurrence based transition analysis'. The presentation was subtly slick and so nicely executed that it can only be done on a Mac. The talk was very clear, no excess number of words, and to the point.
There were many good talks, but some common mistakes. Well, at least I'm a bit slow when having attended a few dozen presentations, so presenters speaking fast or too crowded Powerpoint slides risk losing me. There is supposed to be a golden rule called 'Seven by seven': no more than seven bullet points, consisting of no more than 7 words! And one should speak slowly and repeat the important points.
So what did people talk about? What was 'The buzz-word'? There was no obvious paradigm shift, and I didn't catch one single theme that was the vogue of the day, but there were some issues that kept popping up: decadal predictability, cryosphere and the polar regions, model ensembles and probabilities, regional modelling and extremes.
What I find striking with such monster conferences is the sheer scale of diversity in terms of geo-subjects that people study. There were rows upon rows of posters in several large rooms, in addition to the talks.

Ginging and the Kidnapped Priest*
The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
By Julie Rattey
"Benito! Come quickly!"
Ibony's voice was tense as she called her husband from across their one-room hut. It was 5:30 a.m. on Good Friday, March 29, 1991, and the hot sun was just rising over the forest where Ibony, her husband Benito, who was a hired farm worker, and their younger children lived on the Philippine island of Mindanao.
Benito did not have to look twice to recognize the M16 automatic rifle; he had seen it when these thieving rebels had passed by their hut demanding food — no matter that Benito's family had only salted rice for their table. And he had seen it — Benito's nostrils flared at the memory — when one of his daughters had been seized to marry a local leader in league with the rebels. Benito had never seen her again. Jesus, please protect my family.
Ginging, 11, and her younger sister Anita were just stirring from sleep. "What's going on?" Then came the inevitable rap of a rifle on the door.
"Food. Shelter. No informing anyone of what happens here. And no questions."
Commander Tora-Tora spoke brusquely, as though rattling off an agenda at a business meeting. Commander Jimmy, his assistant, scowled, giving the impression that he would have much preferred to enter with a few shouts and smashes of furniture — if there had been any to smash. But the family looked cowed, and Jimmy contented himself with shouting orders to some of the men to settle in the small barn near the house, then glaring about the hut at no one in particular.
Ginging's eyes widened. The men, with their sweat and their guns, seemed to dwarf their already-small living quarters, so that the bamboo walls seemed to disappear. She and her sister watched as the men tossed down bags, rubbed tired arms and legs, even stretched out on the floor. How long would they stay?
"Your wife and children better come up with those 15 million pesos," Commander Jimmy was bullying. "Commander Tora-Tora needs the money to buy guns to fight the government. We are a minority now, but we cannot be for long. This land is ours, and the Muslim faith must become the official religion of Mindanao."
Father Yves sighed. Right now he should be celebrating Holy Week with his little community in Kaos.
"I have told you," he began, as patiently as he could manage, "I am an Oblate Catholic priest. I do not have a wife or children. I am paid by my superiors only in order to help improve the living conditions of the poor of all religions, which is why the Oblates are here."
The days passed slowly by, and Ginging was able to piece together the details of the kidnapping. A municipal councilor, jealous of all the work the priest had done to help the community, had masterminded the crime by feeding to the commanders lies about Father Yves: The priest's projects were covers for drug operations. He carried weapons. He had a great deal of money.
Ginging noted with amazement that no matter what the priest endured at the hands of his captors, he always had a kind or patient word for those who sought his company. He politely listened to the one who confided how much he wanted a girlfriend, gently urged another to visit the wife he had deserted, and offered compassion to the one nicknamed "Boy," who was desperate to find the parents who had abandoned him as an infant.
After ten days at the hut, the men, fearing their hideout would be discovered and disappointed that Father Yves's Religious superiors had refused to give in to ransom, decided to move on with the prisoner. Ginging watched as the priest graciously accepted, after much initial protestation, a tunic from Benito. Then the men slipped out of their hut and out of their lives.
But would they return? The family left their home to settle in a different region of Mindanao, where conditions were still poor but where thieves did not often travel. Ginging got a job as a live-in housekeeper for the Vergaras, a kind, well-to-do family in the small town of Mlang. As the years passed, her thoughts occasionally fell upon the kidnapped priest with the kind, crinkly smile, and she wondered — and prayed — he was alive. She wondered, too, what life had in store for her. By the time she was 18, and taking care of the Vergaras's two young children, Ginging was beginning to hope she'd have her own family someday.
Ginging was cleaning up after the midday meal when her father paid an unexpected visit.
"The priest is alive!" he crowed. "He was on the radio, requesting assistance in bringing some goods to a land development project he's running called Oblate Galilee Farm. I learned that he was rescued almost two weeks after he left us, and he's living not far from our house. When I found him, he hugged me like a brother! He asked about you, and insists on bringing you to the farm. There is much to be done and many people you could be friends with. What do you say?"
A grin broke across his daughter's face. "Yes!"
There he is again. The young, black-haired farmer Ginging had begun to be acquainted with at Galilee Farm had passed her way for the third time in two days, pretending to be on some errand or other. Should I smile at him? Her heart beat faster. As the farmer approached, she suddenly lost her nerve. Look at all these tomatoes that still need picking. Ginging worked furiously until she felt sure the farmer had passed by.
|Help from the Oblates
Father Yves was sent to the Philippines in 1980 by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, an Order of nearly 4,500 priests and Brothers working with the poor in 71 countries. Among their many works are building homes and churches, running clinics and schools, and caring for the orphaned, elderly, and oppressed.
Father Yves Caroff launched the Oblate Galilee Farm in June 1993. Now registered as a foundation, the farm uses such technologies as water-resource development and crop diversification to make the land arable for local people in need. For more information, and to help, visit www.oblatesusa.org or call 888-330-6264.
A wedding for Ginging
In October 2002, at age 21, Ginging married Toto Pio in the Catholic Church. They now have one daughter, Renrose.
"It seems you have an admirer."
Ginging, startled, looked up to see Father Yves's eyes twinkling with merriment. "You too, Father?" The priest wasn't the only one who had begun to tease her about the farmer's attentions.
"Toto Pio is a good man. And very hard-working."
"Yes ... I know."
The priest placed a kind hand on her shoulder. "I'm happy you have come here, Ginging."
Ginging smiled up at him. "So am I."
After Father Yves had left her, Ginging's eyes returned to the farmer, his lithe figure disappearing
in the surrounding landscape — the farm the community was building with their own hands. The boulder-strewn, weed-stifled uplands now bloomed with rice fields, vegetable gardens, and trees fragrant with mangoes, bananas, lemons. Dry creeks were now fish ponds rich with tilapia, and the landscape was dotted with goats, cows, rabbits, and horses. There were springs of pure water and wells to keep it in.
Ginging breathed in sharply, unable to absorb all the promise of the place. She gazed out at the small houses, the rolling hills, and, most of all, at the lazy dip of the sun in a sky so fiercely blue that she felt sure tomorrow would be free from storm. CD

Analytical Solutions : Password Recovery Service
Confidential intellectual property, networks, and systems depend on passwords chosen by end users. As managers, you must rely on your users to not place company assets at risk. At the same time, business functions are increasingly relying on password protected documents as a means to secure sensitive data, yet there are virtually no controls in place to ensure that the passwords used to protect those documents are adequate.
In many cases, little is done to enforce password standards beyond basic complexity controls built into authentication mechanisms. Your firm can have strong security controls, but all it takes to open up your intellectual property to an intruder is one weak user/administrator password.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Kathleen Edwards
In 1999 Edwards recorded her debut EP, Building 55, and toured throughout Canada to support it, busking and opening for acts like Hayden and Jane Siberry along the way. A bad breakup led to more songwriting, much of which took place after Edwards moved out of Ottawa and into rural Quebec. Those songs became the basis of Failer, her debut full-length, which she recorded in Ottawa in late 2001. The album was a heartfelt mixture of folk and country, and drew upon influences like Whiskeytown and Gillian Welch. A major critical buzz began to swirl around her music, and gigs at the 2002 South by Southwest festival -- as well as an opening slot for Richard Buckner -- led to a deal with Zoe/Rounder, which released Failer in January 2003. The album garnered rave reviews, and Edwards toured extensively in support, headlining her own club dates and playing arenas in support of Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones.
In 2004 she headed back into the studio to record her second album, with guitarist and bandleader Colin Cripps serving as producer. The final product was Back to Me, which arrived in stores during the spring of 2005 and introduced some pop elements into Edwards' dusty Americana. It was followed in 2008 by Asking for Flowers. It would be four years before her next album, Voyageur, which chronicled a love affair from beginning to end, appeared in 2012. ~ Johnny Loftus

colt lightweight commander SSE for my $0.02
I've been looking at 4.25" .45's and am leaning toward either a Colt 1911 Commander or a Dan Wesson Classic Bobtail. Both are stainless steel. Colt holds 8+1; DW holds 7+1. Colt weight 36 oz. DW weighs 34 oz. Colt is $70 less. I want a reliable gun, capable of CC, with available service if needed.
colt lightweight commander SSE for my $0.02
I personally would go with the Colt.
The DW is fancy with that bobtail and all but I would go with the Colt. Good luck which ever way you go.
Sounds like a "six of one...half a dozen of another" to me. Magazine capacity is not an issue. If you carry two magazine with a minimum of 5 rounds per magzine...you have plenty of ammo for the monent when the "flag goes up"..!! Cost..?? eh..!! Colt has the name in this market, but I own two Dan Wessons. One is a Gov't model..the other is Commander sized model. Both are EXTREMELY accurate and the Dan Wesson gives you more bang for the buck. Seriouisly..!! DW puts out an extremely reliable weapon. Check out the sight system, size of trigger, thumb safety, stocks, the trigger poundage, which needs to be 4.5 -5 lbs if you are ever going to able to shoot this weapon accurately. Finally, compare the fit and finish of both weapons. The Dan Wessons are "Hard Fit" (slide to frame), meaning that they are real tight at first and eventually will lossen up some with usage and stay tighter than those weapons that are much more loosely fit. Your choice of a Commander for CCW is an excellent one. It is what I carry on my hip. Good Luck..
I have both and the DW is the better 1911.
You are talking class pistols and I like both with the nod going to my DW Bobtail 45acp. On the other hand, Colts tend to be a better investment. Regards, Richard

Bing Crosby's Restaurant Shuts Down, Possibly For Good
Rancho Mirage Eatery Evicted Amid Claims Owners Didn't Pay Taxes
RANCHO MIRAGE - Hopes were high for the restaurant Bing Crosby's when it's doors opened nearly six years ago in Rancho Mirage. But, a county tax-collector notice of seizure posted on the restaurant's door shows that Bing's hasn't been paying the bills.
The restaurants last day of operation was Saturday June 12, according to former employees.
According to the Riverside County tax collector's office, the restaurant has failed to pay more than $95,000 in taxes between 2007 and June 9, 2010.
Management plans on reopening in October, according to employees. But those same employees have already filed for unemployment.
The U-Haul truck was parked in the back parking lot, where former employees filled it up with what was left of Bing Crosby's.
"I loved my job here," said Chris Kelin, recently unemployed. "It was great."
Richard Atkins, a former Bing Crosby's bartender, said he is "sad. I really liked the place."
Residents were shocked when they pulled up to the parking lot and heard the restaurant was no longer open.
"I don't know what to say," said Steve Bethke, who is sad to see the restaurant close. "I'm just flabbergasted."
"I guess it's a sign of the times," said Mark Bengtson, who visited Bing Crosby's frequently.
Dated June 9, 2010, the notice of seizure posted on the door said Bing Crosby's Restaurant has been seized for the purpose of enforcing the collection of unpaid taxes.
The amount due at the end of the seizure was $95,613.34.
"We put up with a lot of stuff," said Klein, who worked for the restaurant for nearly four years.
"I've never had a paycheck that went through the very first time I went to cash it," said Atkins.
"Go ask Bank of America, 'what do you know about Bing Crosby's checks?' Ask them right over here," said Klein. "They'll tell you that the funds are not available."
Klein said he loved his job and his co-workers. But, the constant hassle of cashing company checks was a hint that the restaurant was struggling financially, he said.
"They always came through for us. At one point or another, we got our money," he said. "But, you know, they left us two weeks notice to clear out, [and told] us they were going to re-open October 1. [But] we all know that's not happening."
Mark Bengston said he had no idea that his last dinner at Bing Crosby's a few weeks ago could be his last meal there ever.
"I always thought it was crowded, and every time we've ever been, it's been packed," he said. "The food is excellent. It's just too bad."
When asked if the closure made the nationwide recession hit home, Lloyd Johnson replied "you bet. Does it ever."
Dudum Sports and Entertainment owns the restaurant, but they were unavailable for comment.
The Bing Crosby's in Walnut Creek up in Northern California said that they have no plans to close.
But the San Diego location wouldn't comment on whether or not it was going out of business.

Edit: I somehow doubt I'm the only pawn shop employee to troll the woot forums, yet this is the first thread of it's kind I've seen here. If this is against any woot policy, please feel free to delete this. If it's just because there aren't any takers, then I'm sure it'll get buried soon enough XD Will delete this edit after a couple of days.
I've had a couple of people ask for my advice over the past couple of days, so I figured I'd make a thread for it.
I've worked in a pawn shop for over three and a half years. This was internationally owned, so there were strict rules and a whole lot of information to learn. During that time, just as a simple sales rep, I learned about a large variety of things that get bought, sold, and loaned on every day. I've become at least halfway decent at figuring out how much a person can resale a variety of different things for. So I'm more than happy to lend some advice.
Please keep in mind that every area is different. Some areas sell tools better, some jewelry, some computers. I'm just giving a rough, unofficial estimate of how much I'd price something should such an item come through my store based on past job-related experiences and the information I can find. Nothing I say here is official. So if I'm horribly wrong and you can get ten times as much or only half as much as what I estimate, that's the reason.
So, any questions?
Is the pawn price the same amount as if you buy it from them?
daveinwarshington wrote:Is the pawn price the same amount as if you buy it from them?
Edit: I see what you're asking.
About 98% of the time, no. We're talking about a business here. For the smaller shops, that means rent and electricity and turning a profit enough to make the shop worth maintaining instead of getting a job at a fast food place. For the chain shops, there's a certain overhead that's expected to be had in every sale. If that overhead dips too low, then something isn't working. Either the items are too highly priced for customers to want to buy, or the store is loaning or buying too high. Something has to change. Unfortunately, there are way too many folks who will get a loan and never be seen or heard from again, so the loan interest can't be counted on to turn a profit. Typically stores want to make 35-50% profit, though this can waver depending on how high of demand an item is and how quickly the pawn broker believes it will depreciate.
If you have something that's in high demand, you might be able to work the pawn broker a bit higher than usual. For example, when iPads first came out, we paid at about 75% value because we wanted them on our shelves. As time went on and we had a better feel for the depreciation value and for the demand, we started paying less.
If you build up a solid account with a pawn shop with loans, and come back on time and pick up everything you put into loan, then shops will be more and more willing to give you a higher value, because you're not a risky customer. A couple of times our store was stuck with a phone that we weren't going to make a single cent on because of how high the loan was for.
A small tidbit. Getting angry or indignant isn't going to do much to change how much you're given. Even those times when the manager gets dragged in and agrees to give you the amount, you can count on employees low-balling you every other time you come in just to be sure there's that cushion room in case you make another scene. The best way is to be friendly, and maybe to just be open for the reason behind it. They'll be that much more likely to go out of their way to want to help you out every time then.
Pawn prices are less, because you have to 'store' it in a safe location, until it is claimed again.
When someone sells you something, you can turn around and put it up for sale right away...
What's the largest or most expensive thing you've gotten in the shop?

Actually, in most states (including WA) that is entirely incorrect.
Buys have to be stored in the back room for thirty days. This is so there's time for stolen or missing items to be reported to the police and databases can be searched. It's why any reputable pawn shop will not take in an expensive electronic without having the make, model, and serial number on the item. Also, items on loan must be kept in the back until it is either picked up or defaults, which at my store meant 120 days. It's why any pawn broker worth their weight in salt will take possible depriciation value into consideration when pricing a loan or buy. It's also why cell phones and video games are going to be some of the worst things you can bring in, if only because they depreciate faster than a new car >.<
Storage fees tend to be pretty low. If I remember right, my store's chain had it set to, like, $3 or $5 no matter how much was loaned on the item. Something like that. The interest rate is also something that is set by the state and pawn shops have no real control over. Unless they are breaking the law >.>
Fun tidbit: last I was in the business, WA had the second lowest interest rate in the country, second only to OR.
Most expensive item I've taken in? Hrm... probably the 22k 7-day bangles. Seven bangles, very decent weight, each one pure gold. My boss was practically drooling as he verified it for me. If I remember right, it was for an old customer too. One of the few times we had to turn to banker checks.
I've always been curious if pawn shops have some sort of protection against receiving stolen property? I know for a fact in my area, there are people that take stolen items to pawn shops for cash all the time. I know there a lot of things that would be hard to determine if it is stolen or not. So if someone were to come into a shop and claim an item was theirs that was stolen (and could some how prove it) would the shop be held responsible or do they have some type of insurance for something like that?

There are wonderful systems in place that involve working directly with the police. Nothing can really be done without an official police report beyond maybe keeping our eyes open though. This is mainly because false claims have been made to screw people over. For example, a couple divorces and they agree that person A should get the ps3. If person B gets really ticked at person A for whatever reason and happened to know that person A had taken the ps3 to the shop, they could go to the shop and try to claim that it was stolen in order to get person A into a whole lot of trouble. By having to report it to the police first, a whole lot more accountability has to be brought on person B's shoulders.
Work with the police though, and ask them about checking local pawn shops. The officers we had that worked with our shop were pretty cool people who did their jobs well. Once the item is identified as belonging to the individual making the claim, it gets ear-marked and the person who had brought it in is black-listed from every shop within the company. Sometimes, depending on how bad the descrepency was, other shops would be notified as well. Even in this competitive market, most owners are aware of the dark shadow that haunts them because of how easily people have gotten away with it in the past. The last thing they want is to push people further away because the shop down the street happened to take in stolen goods and didn't return them. Of course, things slip through the cracks since no system is perfect. The shop I worked for though did everything they could within law and regulations to get items back to their rightful owners. And then you have the smaller shops who don't have a huge corporate breathing down their neck to make sure everything's golden and there's no ammunition for any smear compaigns from competitors >.<
Oh, almost forgot. If for whatever reason you're unable to get a police report through, but you have the information for the individual item, ask to speak with the manager. The calmer and more understanding you are, the more the manager will bend over backwards to try to work with you. Explain the situation, give as much information as you can. Every time someone did this with one of our managers, he would make a note on the item in the computer system, and when the item was pulled, the person would be called and could come in and buy it back for a lot less than we'd normally price it for.
Please remember though, not all pawn shops are alike. I'm drawing from personal experience in one shop in one area from one company in one state. So things might be a bit different where you are. If you happen to come across a shop and it's slow, always feel welcome to ask them as well. I was always thrilled to answer questions like this while working there
Useful Tidbit: A lot of shops will have this great pamphlet that allows you to store all the information you could possibly need for your more expensive items, as well as any pictures you might have of the items. If you have any expensive electronics, please please be sure to get down the make, model, and serial number. Most pawn shops with any form of credibility require all three to buy or loan on an electronic. Any unusual markings help as well, such as dents or scrapes. For jewelry, I recommend pictures from different angles, then have it weighed and the karat verified. As with anything else, any unusual markers help as well. These can be kept in your safety deposit boxes in the case of a fire, flood, robbery, etc. They're wonderful when dealing with the police, insurance companies, and yes, even pawn shop owners.
Anyone ever try to pawn a cat?
daveinwarshington wrote:Anyone ever try to pawn a cat?
No, but we had someone try to get a loan on a dog before >.> Like, in the carrier and everything, and he was indignant when we said we didn't take animals XD
Is December the most busy time of year for the pawn shop?

Rene Marie: an Inspiration Herself, Inspired by Eartha Kitt
One of the finest—and most original—music albums of any sort came out late last year, further enlarging the artist's reputation and resurrecting a ghost of a jazz legend at the same time.
That would be the provocatively entitled "I Wanna Be Evil" by the surging and one-of-a-kind jazz singer Rene Marie, who with a ten-song work on the Motema label has managed to bring alive the high-spirited one-of-a-kind life and music of Eartha Kitt.
The album—subtitled "With Love to Eartha Kitt"—came out late in 2013 and proved to be a wonder. It's rich in the trademark songs of Kitt, who was one of those singer-performers who was way beyond category with big hits like "C'est Si Bon" and the hugely popular "Santa Baby" back in the 1950s, when she was one of the singular "New Faces," right through 2008 when she passed away.
"There wasn't anybody like her," Rene Marie said of Kitt. "It's why I wanted to do this. She inspired me more than anybody. I always wanted to sing, but I got kind of a late start."
We had occasion to talk on the phone with Rene Marie a while back when she appeared in Bethesda. She's one of the most personable, straight-ahead people you ever want to meet. On Saturday, May 24, Washington fans of both Kitt—and of Rene Marie, born Rene Marie Stevens, in nearby Warrenton, Va.—get a chance to hear her doing songs from the album as part of the two-day 19th Annual Mary Lou Williams Jazz festival at the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater. Other performers on May 24 include Trio 3 performing a Mary Lou Williams repertoire and rising star Anat Cohen and her quartet.
Rene Marie isn't exactly like Kitt, although both have appeared in Washington, D.C.—we talked with Kitt a number of years ago when she appeared at the now gone Charley's Supper Club on K Street. Kitt had a style that was damn tough to imitate and reproduce, and she had attitude to spare, but she also more often than not flat out made you listen and watch if you had the good fortune to catch her in person.
In 1999, the year her career started to take off, Rene Marie performed at Blues Alley, also in Georgetown. Rene Marie has an attitude too, but it's the of the kind that's looking to share music and help others. On line, you can see her singing for homeless people, in shelters or impromptu occasions.
She always entertained the thought of singing—her voice has a clarity that's hard to subdue, but she was as she has said in "an abusive marriage" for years. Rene Marie continued to try to sing and perform until her husband said, she told us, "Choose, me or your music." Encouraged by her grown children, she chose music. "At that point, well, it was an easy choice," she said.
So, Rene Marie was off at the age of 42 to start a singing career. It wasn't easy, but she's at what amounts to a personal zenith now, but never forgets that songs—like "Strange Fruit"—are about people, history and times, as well as the joy of making music. She's written much of her own materials and songs as well as hewing to her own unique style of singing standards.
When you listen to Rene Marie's voice, her singing on the Kitt album, you hear strains of other voices—influences like Betty Carter, Ella, Dinah, Nancy Wilson and Sarah Vaughan, and, of course, Kitt. Mostly, however, it's a voice you've also never heard before.
The tribute to Kitt is different from Kitt. It's a musical praise for Kitt's courage as much as her unique talent. But Kitt always had something growly, a hot touch, unbeatable but not necessarily classical.
Rene Marie is the real thing. She makes all the songs on the album her own, and therefore emotionally stronger, clearer and better. She has a rangy, beautiful voice. "Santa Baby" becomes more than a playful tune, as does "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." She has that throaty optimism that makes "I'd Rather Be Burned As a Witch" a lights-out effort.

Neti Pot
Try it if: Your symptoms include having a clogged or runny nose.
How it works: When you use a neti pot (sold at drugstores and health-food stores), you pour a warm saline solution (one teaspoon of sea salt per pot of water) into one nostril and allow it to drain out the other nostril. "The rinse removes pollen, dust, or other allergens from your nose before your immune response really kicks in," says Roberta Lee, vice chair of integrative medicine at the Beth Israel Medical Center, in New York City. Use once or twice daily until symptoms subside.
Good to know: Lean over a sink to catch drips. "At first you may feel a bit uncomfortable," says Holly Lucille, a naturopathic doctor in Los Angeles.

Hey Guys
You can find my site at
I am trying to implement this script but it is causing errors to the layout and I cannot work out why. You can view the source on the webpage.
Any help appreciated, I will possibly make a donation to people who help out with my issues!
The css, html and js seem to be working (at least in Firefox). Your problem is with the PHP—a parse error on submit. We can't help with that unless you post the PHP being used. Then we can move this to the PHP forum.
Is the only problem you see once the form is submitted, or is there another problem in some browser?
EDIT: or check this out: http://www.parse-error-unexpected-t-string.com/
Thanks for your reply. I am using Google Chrome and it doesn't work proper. Can you download TeamViewer and send me a message so you can control my computer and ''teach'' me what i'm doing wrong?
Edit, FireFox neither works, I think you misunderstand my problem. I can write the PHP script and I stopped half way to solve layout issues. If you look where the text is on
And look where it is on
Then you will see the issue. I want to include the contact us page on the homepage of downingwebdesign.com. Please download TeamViewer and assist me
This site will "teach" you.
Will fixing the problems here sort my layout issues?I don't understand all that posh talk. Could someone correct my layout issues and post code here so I can look at my code and learn my errors?
You need to produce valid HTML, you are not. That site tells you why you are not - first produce valid HTML, then look to style it.
I used a site template for my portfolio, as I wanted to use the carousel. Do you have Teamviewer to help me? I can pay...
Let me say this, if you're looking to sell websites/pages, you need to learn how to write good code.
You're in the best place possible to learn how to do this, but you need to put in the most effort. Other members will help you along, for free, if you can prove you're trying and are appreciative.
Be polite, open to advice and explicit in what you want.
So, with that in mind. Visit the validator, start at the top and work your way down fixing as you go.
If/when you get stuck on a particular issue, just pop a post on the end of this thread.
Good luck!
I did that but i'm not so good at English. I can design and sell webpages but I am not so good when it comes to having multiple CSS/JS scripts on one page. Can you please explain this one to me:
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
Line 83, column 91: end tag for "a" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified
…ilable">Call Me: 07801233070

I will try with the validator again.
That is saying you are using html tag while your DOCTYPE is XHTML. Like Anthony said you need to produce good code, before you should attempt to sell/market it.
this tells you exactly what's wrong, as long as you know how or understand code.
I don't mean this rudely
I am trying to produce good code but with using a template for my portfolio and another script for contact us ajax, it is kinda going against eachother.
I have sorted all my errors now and it says is passes. How do I go about making the layout proper again?
Proper in what way?
I want to make this code here:

I like the look of this particular plate, and I've bought extras to go with my original set. A problem with all of them, however, is that although the white part is great -- smooth, even, generally appealing -- the colorful part on the outer edge is semi-rough. It's not a subtle thing. Take a spoon or fork and rub it across the periphery of the plate or bowl, and you'll instantly see what I mean. For me that part of it is like fingernails on a chalk board -- really offputting. I gave away everything except the mugs and large plates. It's the looks of this collection that I really like, but the manufacturer seems to have colored the edges with ground glass, and that's not a trivial design flaw. If you don't love the look of it as much as I do, don't get it.
I am enjoying my Corelle dinnerware very much. The colors go well with my kitchen and other china. It is light weight, washes well and stacks well. All in all, good purchase so far. Service was fast also.
I am very happy with my new Corelle Watercolors dishes. They are lightweight, don't chip or mark and look pretty on my table. A great product for the price.
They are hard to find but when I saw them on this site the price was great, shipping was fast.
I bought a set of the dinner plates, luncheon plates and bowls as a Christmas gift for my daughter and her family. They arrived in record time, were carefully boxed and were absolutely beautiful. My daughter loves the design and colors (Watercolors) and just raves about them. I am so glad to have found your website and will certainly order from you again.
I get compliments on them all them time. I had looked and looked for dishes that I liked. I'm not a real fan of roses and such and when I saw them I knew that I had to have them and I was not disappointed.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
TENNESSEE HEAD COACH Bruce Pearl: "We talked about getting some things exposed tonight, to see where we stood. But we did not have enough opportunity. I hope Friday night, against Tusculum, will be a better test.
"We need to make our free-throws and 3-point shots better. You have to admire a team that comes out and makes its first 18 shots - that was really something. We had balance in our scoring.
"We are so young that there won't be any problem with our players picking up some confidence from this game. For us to have only nine turnovers, with as much scoring as there was, is really terrific.
"This is a chance for our players to see what they could do. They saw how our substitution system works, which means they will not have to be staying on the floor continuously. We did not press at all in the second half.
"I had hoped we would have had a better challenge tonight than we did. Now that C.J. Watson has graduated, I am looking forward to a chance for Jordan Howell to get back out on the court. Having Dane Bradshaw on the court really takes a lot of pressure off of these new freshmen."
LEMOYNE-OWEN HEAD COACH DAVID GAINES: "Tennessee is a good team, and they are in shape. They always have a good team, and we were not much of a match for them tonight. We have a lot of young people, and we are building toward playing in our conference at this point.
"I thought we could have covered the middle a little better than we did tonight. They were able to get a lot of good shots from the paint.
"Ramar Smith is really going to help Tennessee - he is a good player, and a good kid. He is going to be a really good player, and he fights it down the middle. He and Duke Crews both had 12 points tonight - that will make them tough down the stretch."
