(from Woodbine report)
Live Oak Plantation's homebred Stradivinsky will take on seven sprint rivals, including three shippers, in the $200,000 Scotts Highlander Stakes (Can-III) Sunday on the turf at Woodbine.
In addition to the Queen's Plate Sunday, the Highlander is one of three added-money events at Woodbine.
Trained by Malcolm Pierce, Stradivinsky is a perfect in two tries so far in 2007, opening with a romp in the six furlong Jacques Cartier Stakes April 14 over Woodbine's Polytrack. The 4-year-old Florida-bred gelded son of Stravinsky followed with a handy score in the six furlong turf prep for the Highlander on June 1, when timed in a blistering 1:07 4/5 seconds.
"He's trained very well, and so far he hasn't done anything wrong this year," said Pierce. "He got a trip over the turf course last time out, which is good to have, and he's come back and had one work, a very good work (five furlongs in :58 4/5 seconds breezing, June 17). I wouldn't trade horses with anybody."
Emma-Jayne Wilson, who has been aboard Stradivinsky in his last five outings, retains the mount for the Scotts Highlander.
Last year, after a busy eight-race campaign in Florida, Stradivinsky was shipped to Woodbine to the care of Pierce and promptly won off by himself in a seven furlong allowance test. Pierce then tried to stretch him out in the 1 1/8-mile Ontario Derby Oct. 1, but his charge came home a weary last, over 13 lengths behind Shillelagh Slew.
"That was a bit of a disaster," recalled Pierce. "He kind of stumbled leaving the gate, grabbed his quarter pretty bad, then tried to get out on the first turn. I'm not saying we wouldn't try him a little further again, but we may as well stick to where he's winning at the moment. We might try to stretch him out to a mile on the turf course. I think he's probably a one-turn horse."
Among Stradivinsky's rivals is Edith Dixon's Smart Enough, who'll be ridden by Patrick Husbands for trainer John Fisher. In his only start this year, the 4-year-old gelded son of Horse Chestnut flew to a blazing score in the $60,000 Wolf Hill Stakes at Monmouth Park, clocking the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:00 4/5 seconds.
Last year, Smart Enough won five of eight starts, including three minor stakes at Churchill Downs and Monmouth, before completing the season with a runner-up finish in the $285,000 Cherokee Run Breeders' Cup Handicap.
Another invader who will garner attention is Heros Reward, to be ridden by John Velazquez for trainer Dale Capuano. The 5-year-old has won four of five outings this year, all at five furlongs on the grass, including the $100,000 Baltimore City Turf Sprint at Pimlico on May 19.
Completing the Scotts Highlander line-up are last year's surprising Highlander winner Marco Be Good, Storm Caller, My Imperial Dancer, The Nth Degree, and Gangster.
The other turf stakes races on Plate day are the $100,000 Singspiel Stakes and the $100,000 Charlie Barley Stakes.
The Singspiel, at 12 furlongs, has attracted a field of 10, including Stronach Stables' Royal Challenger, last year's winner of the Breeders' Stakes, the third jewel in the Canadian Triple Crown; Sam-Son Farm's French Beret, who won the Toronto Cup last year and just missed in the Breeders', and Gus Schickedanz's venerable Last Answer, the field's leading money winner with over $733,000 in career earnings.
The Charlie Barley, at a flat mile, is a wide-open affair which has drawn a field of 12. The David Cotey-trained pair of Angel of the House and Strike Impact, and Get Rich Quick, conditioned by Pierce, are all expected to receive support.

Will Humans Become Machines?
Back in the 1970's 'The Six Million Dollar Man' was one of television's more popular shows. Nearly forty years later there are some who think that television and real life could become one.
Among those people are inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who say in 90 years our bodies could be replaced by machines.
"We're going to become increasingly non-biological to the point where the non-biological part dominates and the biological part isn't that important anymore," Kurzweil said. "We can create bodies with nanotechnology. We can create virtual bodies."
Kurzweil also says that by the year 2045 we'll be uploading our entire minds to computers, a process that's called 'Singularity.' Matthew Kazmierczak of Tech America told KTRH let's not just write this off as crazy talk.
"There are possibilities of some aspects of this happening. I don't know about an uploading of your entire self. But, we will advance quickly," Kazmierczak said.
Kazmierczak says it's more reasonable to think that technology could help people with physical difficulties.
"For folks that may be blind, can't hear or have lost a limb. All of these things could be instances where technology could help them," Kazmierczak explained.
But while Kurzweil is talking about a time in which humans will be immortal, Kazmierczak says it's simply about improving the quality of life and aging gracefully.

Treasuries Drift Lower in Light Trade
Uninspired trading left Treasuries little changed Monday. Not even extended weakness in the Dow was able to break Treasuries out of their lethargy as typically quiet summer conditions were exacerbated by the uncertainty of the FOMC's policy decision on Wednesday.
With the debate over a 25-basis-point cut or a 50-basis-point cut being a toss up, traders were reluctant to commit to new positions, leaving profit taking and curve positioning plays the order of the day. Bonds opened on the soft side as the Middle East inspired flight-to-quality bid from Friday was unwound and as stocks posted modest gains. Yet, Fed funds futures retained a bid as a few more Fedwatchers jumped into the 50-basis-point easing camp (from 25 basis points).
A stronger than expected 2.9% jump in existing home sales had a brief negative impact, but technical supports held and Treasuries edged off their lowest levels. A turnaround in the Dow through the afternoon also helped bonds recover, though prices still finished in negative territory. One prominent shop was a featured seller of 10-year contracts on the day, while a couple of others were reportedly on both sides of the trade in the 5s.

Fightin Phils Announce 2013 Opening Day Roster
By Eastern League | April 2, 2013 7:59 AM ET
The Reading Fightin Phils, in conjunction with the Philadelphia Phillies, have announced the organization's 2013 Opening Day roster. 16 of the players on Reading's team were originally drafted or signed by the Phillies, and 11 members of the 2013 roster have formerly played in Reading.
The roster is anchored by top Phillies prospect and left-handed pitcher Jesse Biddle. Biddle, a Germantown Friends product, went 10-6 with a 3.22 ERA in 142.2 innings pitched for Clearwater (A+) last season. Drafted in the first round of the June 2010 draft by the Phillies, Biddle led the Florida State League in strikeouts (151) and was tied for second in wins (10) and starts (26). During the 2012 season, the 21-year old struck out a career-high 12 batters and averaged 9.53 strikeouts per 9.0 innings pitched.
Biddle will be joined by Austin Wright, Seth Rosin, David Buchanan, and Brody Colvin in the rotation. The southpaw Wright, who was tied for first in the FSL in wins by going 11-5 with a 3.47 ERA, will be accompanied by fellow newcomer Rosin, who went 1-2 with a 3.50 ERA in eight starts between Clearwater and San Jose (A+). Rosin, a right-handed pitcher, was acquired by Philadelphia on July 31 last season alongside former Reading catcher Tommy Joseph in the Hunter Pence deal.
Returning to the Fightin Phils rotation will be right-handed pitchers Buchanan and Colvin. Buchanan went 3-5 with a 3.86 ERA in 12 starts with Reading before having season-ending surgery in June to repair ligament damage in his middle finger. Colvin spent much of his time with Clearwater last season before being promoted to Reading in late July and will look to improve on his 1-4 win-loss record this season.
This season's roster will feature three catchers this season, one new to Reading and the other two making their return to the club. A University of Texas product, Cameron Rupp hit .267 with 10 home runs and 49 RBIs with Clearwater last season. The third round draft pick was also a FSL midseason and postseason All-Star.
Backing up home plate along with Rupp will be catching prospect Sebastian Valle, who hit .253 with 17 home runs and 58 RBIs between Reading and Lehigh Valley last season, and 2010-11 Reading catcher John Suomi, who spent all of 2012 in Lehigh Valley where he also played first base.
Miguel Abreu, Troy Hanzawa, and Tyler Henson will bring a veteran presence to the Fightin Phils infield in 2013 that will also feature three Double-A rookies. Abreu and Hanzawa both held down the Reading infield in 2012 with Abreu hitting .280 with 17 doubles as a utility infielder and Hanzawa hitting .249 with 18 doubles as a shortstop. A Hawaiian native, Hanzawa was also an Eastern League midseason All-Star. Henson, who spent last season in the Los Angeles Dodgers system, played five different positions across three levels (Rancho Cucamonga, Chattanooga, and Albuquerque) and hit .284 in 53 games at Albuquerque (AAA).
Albert Cartwright, Edgar Duran, and Jim Murphy will make their Double-A debuts this year after spending 2012 in Clearwater. Cartwright spent the entire 2012 season with the Threshers and batted .306 (19-for-62) for an 18-game stretch in June. A shortstop, Duran was named Phillies Minor League Player of the Week following a stretch (7/16-7/22) where he hit .444 (8-for-18) with three doubles, two home runs, and six RBIs. Last season, first baseman Murphy set career-highs in RBIs (85) and doubles (43). His mark of 43 doubles led the Florida State League much like former Reading standout Darin Ruf did prior to playing in Baseballtown. Murphy also slugged a team-leading 17 home runs and accounted for 222 total bases.
Zach Collier leads the pack of Reading outfielders this season. Collier, a non-roster invitee to Phillies spring training this season, set a professional high with six home runs for the Threshers while starting 68 games in centerfield. He also hit .269 with 13 doubles and 32 RBIs for Clearwater.
Along with Collier, 2008 first round selection Anthony Hewitt will patrol the outfield with Derrick Mitchell and Ronnie Welty. Hewitt hit .241 in 108 games and launched 13 home runs for Clearwater in 2012, finishing with the second best mark on the team and tied for the seventh best in the Florida State League. Mitchell will make his return to Baseballtown after spending all of 2012 with Lehigh Valley where he spent extended time on the disabled list following a right hand fracture on June 5. During his 2011 season with Reading, Mitchell set career highs in batting average (.265), hits (126), home runs (19), RBI (35), and walks (40). Acquired less than a week ago from Baltimore for former Reading pitcher Julio Rodriguez, Welty spent most of 2012 with the Bowie Baysox (AA) where he had a .286 average, eight home runs, and 11 doubles in 37 games with the squad.
The Reading bullpen will feature an even mixture of new faces and returnees. Kyle Simon, Tyler Knigge, Jay Johnson, and J.C. Ramirez make up the veteran contingent of the staff. Simon was acquired midseason from Baltimore for slugger Jim Thome and went 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA in 13 games for Reading. Splitting time between Clearwater and Reading last season, Knigge posted a 1.10 ERA (2 ER, 16.1 IP) over his final 13 appearances of the season and finished with a 2.92 ERA in 21 games with Reading. As one of the youngest players on the Reading roster in 2012, Johnson spent most of his time in Baseballtown where 19 of his 28 appearances were scoreless. He also joined Simon on the Peoria roster in the Arizona Fall League. Ramirez pitched in relief all season between Reading and Lehigh Valley and held Eastern League hitters to a .200 average (20-for-100).
Hector Neris and Juan Sosa look to continue their successful seasons in Clearwater as they make their Double-A debut. In a league-leading 50 appearances with the Threshers, Neris was 4-2 with a 3.55 ERA and struck out 94 batters, averaging 10.75 strikeouts per nine innings pitched. Sosa had a career year in Clearwater, setting highs in innings pitched (80.1) and strikeouts (79). Former Seattle and Detroit farmhand Mauricio Robles fills out the Fightin Phils bullpen. Robles spent most of 2012 with Jackson (AA) where he was 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 37 appearances.
Manager Dusty Wathan returns to the club after a season where he led the team to a 76-66 record. Joining Wathan will be hitting coach Frank Cacciatore, who is back for his sixth season in Reading, and new pitching coach Dave Lundquist. Athletic trainer Jonathan May and strength coach Justin Miloszewski round out the coaching staff.

Packers passing offense
Everything in the Green Bay passing game revolves around quarterback Aaron Rodgers – though it's not quite the one-man offensive show of past seasons. It's interesting that Rodgers received nary a whisper from the national pundits when it came to MVP talk. I get it: Peyton Manning had a great comeback year to lift the Broncos to 13-3 and Adrian Peterson had a remarkable comeback year and posted arguably the greatest rushing season in NFL history. Whatever the order, they deserve to finish one-two in the MVP voting. Rodgers, however, led the NFL in passer rating, was first in touchdown-to-interception ratio and second in touchdown passes. He led a team that was demolished by injuries to 11 wins. His only sin was not duplicating last year's record-setting numbers.
With that said, an argument could be made that the Packers' offense of right now is better than the offense that lined up against the Giants in divisional round a year ago. Receiver-returner Randall Cobb, who was limited mostly to returns as a rookie last year, took a run at Darren Sproles' single-season record for all-purpose yards. His breakout season began with 230 total yards against San Francisco in Week 1, when he really was the Packers' only productive perimeter player. Moreover, chronically inconsistent tight end Jermichael Finley has been outstanding down the stretch. Outside of about a dozen plays in a game on Dec. 2, Rodgers had all of his weapons on the field last week for the first time since Sept. 30. Cobb and, especially, Jordy Nelson probably won't be 100 percent but they are elite performers. Greg Jennings, who missed half of the season with an abdominal injury that required surgery, has been outstanding the last couple of games. The ability of Jennings and Cobb to get yards after the catch will be critical, and Finley will need to make some plays against the Niners' elite safeties.
The running game is vastly improved from the Week 1 matchup. Amazingly, the Packers are going with DuJuan Harris and Ryan Grant in the backfield. Neither of those guys were on the roster until December. The pint-sized Harris stands just over 5-7 but is a tough customer who gets to full speed in the blink of an eye. The offensive line is seen as a liability in national circles based on Rodgers getting sacked 51 times. That's just not true, though that group rightfully will be a decided underdog against the 49ers' ferocious defensive line and linebackers. This Packers' offensive success will boil down to whether left tackle Marshall Newhouse and left guard T.J. Lang can block outside linebacker Aldon Smith and defensive end Justin Smith. Undrafted rookie right tackle Don Barclay will need to play the game of his life.
49ers passing defense
After finishing 16th in the NFL in pass defense last season, the 49ers made considerable improvement this season with the same four players that started for them in the secondary last year, when they were still pretty formidable stopping the pass. But with that group having a second season to play together as a unit, they were better this season, and an argument can be made that San Francisco's secondary is among the very best in the NFL.
It's not all about the secondary, of course, as San Francisco finished fourth in the NFL in pass defense this season because it is getting good push from the big boys up front and the linebackers behind them in the Niners' 3-4 scheme are doing their part rushing the passer and filling the intermediate lanes in coverage. But the secondary sets the tone here with a quality group of cover corners in starters Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers and nickel corner Chris Culliver to go with an imposing, athletic, rock 'em, sock 'em set of starting safeties in Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner, both of whom were named Pro Bowl starters for the NFC this year.
Goldson and Whitner punish anybody who crosses the middle into their territory, and Goldson is a rangy ballhawk who plays a quality center field in deep coverage. The Niners will likely come at the Packers a lot like they did in the season opener with three cornerbacks – or more – on the field regularly with Rogers – a starter in last year's Pro Bowl and an alternate this year – moving inside to handle the slot and Brown and Culliver protecting the edges. Culliver was particularly effective in this role against the Packers in the opener.
Like they do against everybody – even against an elite passing team like the Packers – the 49ers will try to stop the run first and force Green Bay to the air. The 49ers have a premier pass-rushing threat from the edge in outside linebacker Aldon Smith, who set a team record with 19½ sacks this year, and Ahmad Brooks (6½ sacks) also is formidable from the other edge. The 49ers aren't the same, however, without All-Pro right tackle Justin Smith, who missed the final two games of the season with a partially torn left triceps but expects to return against the Packers.
Like it was in September, this figures to be one of the key matchups in the game, with both teams seemingly having improved in this area over the course of the season. The Niners, certainly, are gearing up to be tested by the best for the second consecutive year in a divisional playoff game at home after prevailing over Drew Brees and the Saints at this juncture last season.

In a new report, Fitch Ratings says that although overall mobile service revenue growth in Europe remains under pressure (-1.4% in the 12 months to March 2011), there are significant regional differences.
In northern Europe, mobile service revenue growth turned positive in 2010 and the 12 months to March 2011, led by a strong performance in the UK and Germany. In these two countries, revenue growth from non-voice services has more than offset voice revenue declines.
In southern Europe, the trend in service revenue declines is getting worse at -5.4% in the 12 months to March 2011. The economic weakness in southern Europe is dampening demand for mobile data services and exacerbating the decline in voice revenue from regulatory and competitive pressures.
Fitch expects voice revenue in southern Europe will remain under pressure, as effective voice pricing, especially in Spain, is higher than in northern Europe. Downward pressure is expected to continue as mobile termination rates, which are higher in southern Europe, are forced down towards northern European levels by regulation. Over the medium term, mobile data might not provide as large a boost to mobile revenue growth as some operators expect. There is a risk that mobile data might be partly used as a substitute for voice and SMS services. Fitch believes that the risk will increase over time as voice over IP becomes more of a threat with technology improvements and instant messaging and social networks could start to replace SMS more widely, not just in the youth segment.

Coca-Cola recently announced that it is jumping into the red-hot Indian online retail arena by selling directly to consumers and small businesses, a first for a FMCG (CPG) company in India. While the Indian online retail story is still being written and Forrester is bullish about the long-term prospects for this channel, the immediate challenges need to be managed effectively.
Logistics and fulfillment are the largest challenges of them all in India, with more than half of all online retail sales being done using cash on delivery (COD). While COD is essential in a nascent eCommerce market, it can have a large negative impact on business margins. This is exacerbated in a nascent market where consumers are testing this new medium of ordering goods, as the return rates can be quite high. In India, reportedly, the return rates can vary from 5% to more than 25%, depending on the category, the demographics of the online buyers, and their online tenure (experience with the Internet).

Sharp's attempts to dominate the ebook reader world seem to extend to Asia and America but not Europe. It has announced the availability of the Galapagos ereader in America in early 2011 following its debut in Japan earlier this month.
The Galapagos comes in two form factors – a 5.5in slate with 1024 x 600 resolution and a 10.8in with 1366 x 800 resolution. They debuted in Sharp's home territory of Japan on December 10 priced at around £305 and £420 respectively - though there's no indication of price in the States yet. The American version of the Galapagos tablets will have a few differences to make them more appealing to the American market.
According to the Mainichi Daily News, the America Galapagos will include 3G radios to appease the US consumers. In a more revolutionary and logical move, the primary content format will be switched from the proprietary XMDF to the almost universally compatible EPUB. As regards the ebooks themselves, it is reported that partnership discussions are ongoing between Sharp and publishers as the Japanese company will be looking to launch its own online bookstore.
As well as America, the Galapagos will be heading to China, India and Brazil – all pretty large markets. However Sharp has not made any announcement about a European debut for the Galapagos but it could just be a matter of testing the water in the US first before rolling it out in other parts of the world. We'll have to wait and see but we will try and find out more from Sharp at CES 2011 in Las Vegas next week.

Supplier recalling 17 cough and cold products over childproof cap concerns
The Canadian Press

: Daily haircaire routine
Hey all
I have curly thick hair (I think 3c)
My haircare routine is:
In the evening I brush my hair dry, put a leave in conditioner in and braid my hair
In the morning I take my braids out and I'm ready to go. Most of the time I put my hair in a bun.
Lately I've been reading more about curly hair. I keep reading on the internet that it's bad to brush your hair dry and I believe they're right. My hair could be stronger and sometimes I think I lose too much hair. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a wide tooth comb and start with my new haircare routine.
I have one question..Do you all comb your hair in the morning? I'd rather not comb my hair in the morning so what's the best thing to do? They say you need to wet or damp curly hair and then comb it but I also don't want to sleep with damp/wet hair (bad) What to do?

Oprah Winfrey isn't quite holding her OWN
Rosie O'Donnell turns 50 today. But the milestone is less merry after Tuesday's final taping of her short-lived talk show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, ending another failed experiment in the channel's tumultuous history and raising new questions about its future.
In another troubling sign, 30 of OWN's 150 staffers were laid off Monday, and Discovery Networks (which co-owns OWN with Winfrey) installed new executives to run its business and programming operations.
Discovery has invested $310 million in OWN, but first-year ratings were merely even with Discovery Health, the channel it replaced. "I've never seen Discovery invest this much money in such a short period," says longtime cable analyst Derek Baine of SNL Kagan. "The ratings aren't coming in anywhere near as forecast. It would be a huge disappointment for Discovery to have to pull the plug, but it seems like that may be what they're considering at this point, given that they're taking control."
Is that possible? "Absolutely not," says Discovery Networks spokesman David Leavy. "We're in it for the long term."
But the road has been rough. After delays and management shakeups, OWN launched 15 months ago largely without Winfrey, who spent half a year finishing up her syndicated talk show. Her signature series, Oprah's Next Chapter, started only in January, and though it's tops on OWN, ratings are low: Sunday's Lady Gaga interview drew 808,000 viewers, though the interview with Whitney Houston's daughter scored a record 3.5 million March 11.
And OWN, which promised an all-original lineup, has retreated, filling its schedule with repeats such as Deadly Women and Wicked Attraction from sibling Investigation Discovery. Overall ratings are up this year. A network launch "is always a challenge, and ratings grow over time," Winfrey said in a statement Friday.
Not O'Donnell's. The Rosie Show, based in Winfrey's Chicago studio, cost $20 million a year but last week averaged only 130,000 viewers. The finale airs March 30.
With cost-cutting and a new team, "we are poised for some tremendous growth from a business and ratings point of view," says co-president Erik Logan, who will unveil new shows April 5. "We're much more confident that (they're) more on-brand than they were last summer."

Just think about living in a secular pine forest by renting a villa in Tuscany. Seashore villas like Villa Carla rest in the shade and scent of these rejuvenating trees, just a stone throw from the white sands of a private beach on the multi-awarded sea of Tuscany. This house is a reality, and it includes with all modern comforts and a very private location in Maremma.
The nearest town is the delicious Castiglione della Pescaia, which is just 4 kilometers from the Roccamare Pinewood where the villa is.
The accommodation is 100 square meters in size and includes a living room with satellite television and DVD player, a dining room, fully equipped kitchen with washer and dishwasher, microwave oven, gas cookers and oven, a fridge and freezer. In the house you will also find an ironing board and a hairdryer. You will have all the comforts renting a villa in Tuscany.
Seashore villas in the pine wood are also very comfortable since they develop all on one floor. Villa Carla includes 3 bedrooms, two with double bed and one with two twin beds, one full bathroom with shower and tub and one half bathroom. The interiors are all comfortably furnished and decorated with functional style.
The outdoors feature a nice veranda with table for dining al fresco and sun beds, a stone barbecue, and outdoor shower with hot water, ideal for the hot summer days and to rinse off the sand before entering the house. The garden is really spacious, and you will have 3 bicycles at your disposal to use at will during your holiday in Tuscany. Moreover, there are two sheltered private parking spots for your car renting.
A villa in Tuscany, seashore villas in particular, is ideal to relax in an uncontaminated coastal landscape of rare beauty. The serviced pine forest enjoys a 24/7 concierge entrance that will ensure you an environment of privacy and tranquility. Your strolls or bike rides along the paths of the forest and those running along the sea will be some of the most wonderful activities to experience. Take in the scents of the Mediterranean. The pine forest is also connected with the Maremma bike lanes to bring you far on your paddling explorations.
Moreover, even the access to the beach is reserved to the Pineta guests and controlled 24/7. So you will have access to a very exclusive beach just five minutes from the house. When you are renting a villa in Tuscany, seashore villas with all these additional services are a great plus.
While on the beach, the landscape is wonderful. The 180 degrees view of the sea is delimited on the left by the castle of Castiglioni della Pescaia, and on the right by the Rock of Roccamare. At the back you have the lush Mediterranean bush with its deep green and mesmerizing scents. On certain days you will even be able to see the islands of Giglio, Elba, Pianosa and Montecristo on the horizon.
Finally, when renting a villa in Tuscany, guests of Villa Carla also have available many beach comforts included in the rental price: a large straw hut with table and wooden bench to rest in the shade and enjoy the view of the sea, deck chairs and sun beds, a changing hut where to store swimming equipment and dry your towels, and not least, a great degree of beach privacy in Tuscany. Seaside villas are definitely the way to go to relax in total peace and comfort.

Long story short, I inherited a gun from my grandfather... I didn't want to call the Rossi phone number, but I did.. and of course they are closed - and I am very impatient. SO....
My gun is:
a .38 Rossi
The number on the butt is:
I can't find any model numbers on it, just the number on the butt I believe to be a serial number. - But maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
I am not expecting the gun to be of any value, I just believe if I shoot it - I should know all I can about it.
Here is a pic too -

how do i solve and graph these factors
y= x(x+3)^2(x+5)
y= x(x+3)^2(x+5)
I am not going to tell you how to graph that, but I will tell you how to sketch the graph.
for very large positive x, the thing is large positive, so in the end it will slope up to the right. So over on the right in the first quadrant draw an arrow pointing up to the right.
for very large negative x, because the highest power of this polynomial is x^4 which is even, y will again be large positive. So over in the left quadrant you have an arrow pointing up to the left.
now it is zero at x = 0 , x - -3 (twice), x = -5
Mark those 3 or really four but two are the same spots with dots on your graph.
Your function comes screaming down from your arrow at the upper left and passes through (-5,0) headed down.
then it turns up and grazes the x axis again at (-3,0). I say grazes because it did not have enough oomph to get through the x axis on its way up and just touched it, heading back down. If it had gone through, we would have had two zeros close to x = -3, but they are scrunched together because the function just touched the axis there and dropped back down.
then it heads back up again to pass through the origin (0,0) on its way up to your arrow at the upper right.
Now you should be able to do the second one.
to solve, let y = 0
since the function is already factored, this is now easy
x(x+3)^2(x+5) = 0
so x=0 or x=-3 or x=-5
to graph it, realize that the solution to the corresponding equation is the x-intercept of the function.
When you have a "double root" such as you get from (x+3)^2, the graph will touch the x-axis without crossing over.
Furthermore, since the highest term is +x^4 the curve will "get lost" up in the first and second quadrants.
So looking at our solutions, the graph will cross at -5, touch at -3 and cross again at 0
I then substitute a value of x about 1/2 between x-inercepts to see approximately how high or how low the graph goes between x-intercepts.
at x=-4, y = -4
at x=-1, y = -15
at x=-2, y = -18
This gives me a pretty good idea about the behaviour of my graph.
Using the same type of logic you should be able to do the next one.

Looks good. My partner carried a 6" Python all the years we worked together.
This is a discussion on 1977 Colt Python within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I just wanted to post a pic of my 1977 Colt Python with the new wood grips that I got for it. So how does ...

I have a S&W Model 19 that I got new in 1980. It took a beating riding in a duty holster for 17 years. I will post pics after it is redone. I got some replacement grips last month, now I just need to find a really good gunsmith to redo the bluing.
Very nice gun btw.

The total number of ultra-high speed broadband subscribers in France passed 170,000 at the end of 2008, out of 20,500 buildings connected via fibre to at least one telcos infrastructure, according to a report from the regulator Arcep. Of the total, some 130,000 were connected to a hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) network, while a further 40,000 were using fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) technology. By the start of this year former monopoly France Telecom had deployed fibre in approximately 40 municipalities, Numericable had upgraded to fibre in around 30 major urban centres and SFR (including neuf Cegetel) and Iliad (Free) are concentrating efforts in areas where FT is less active. Arcep estimates that between three million and 4.5 million homes were passed by fibre at the end of last year.

Two days from now I'll be hopping on a plane with my boyfriend, leaving the 101 degrees F that defines Phoenix for the brisk and often overcast San Francisco. I. can't. wait. This recipe for Chicken Milanese makes me think I might miss cooking while I'm gone away from home for 5 days but I'm sure San Francisco's wondrous culinary attractions will appease me ;). If anyone has any recommendations on where to go or what to eat, please let me know!
I come back Thursday, the day after my giveaway closes, so make sure you enter before then! Hopefully I'll be posting pictures of my trip on twitter so if you'd like to see what I end up doing, follow me.
Have a good weekend and make this recipe!).
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Every element of this menu was very flavorful, no boring chicken, salad, or pasta here.
Texture: Along with the taste this menu's textures were very lovely and complimentary; crisp yet moist chicken, al dente orzo, and tender just coated greens.
Ease: Although there are quite a few steps and dishes dirtied, nothing is too difficult or daunting.
Appearance: The plates look full and delicious, yet light enough for spring/summer and healthy.
Pros: Tasty and healthy. Also, this recipes serves 2 which is nice since usually it is just me and my boyfriend eating.
Cons: Like I said before there are quite a few steps and dishes involved which never leaves your kitchen looking very pretty.
Would I make this again? Most likely 🙂

Have fun on your trip! I love San Fran! Great meal here!
This looks really marvelous, I've bookmarked it to try later!
I will never get tried of chicken if everyday a dish something like this will be served.
My s.o. b-day is coming up. I offered to cook him dinner. So I sent him this link and he was immediately interested. As a practice run, I made it today for my family, and everything turned out great. Very delicious 😀
I just came across this post via Delicious. I am bookmarking it as well as your blog. I will be back to explore more later tonight. The chicken recipe is one that I'm sure to try — thanks for sharing it with us.

Peaceful Rally for Trayvon
As residents across the country and around North Central awaited the verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial... many gathered to pray and reflect.
The Bartley Temple United Methodist Church in Gainesville held a peaceful rally for Trayvon Martin today... and as tv20's Anna Carabeo reports people are urging for peaceful discussions following Zimmerman's not guilty verdict.
The message of the rally was peace and unity within the community.
Organizer of the event, Reverend Milford Griner says the purpose of the rally was for residents to express their feelings in a non-violent way.
"The last thing that will be needed, will be any acts of violence or other negative acts that may come about," said Griner.
Griner says that they don't want this verdict to cause violence in the community.
"We are still going to come together and talk and discuss, and more importantly, we are going to call for peace," Griner said.
Gainesville Police Chief Tony Jones attended the rally saying in times of controversy… he was proud of the way the city gathered.
"Gainesville is a community that comes together regardless of race and religion and that we come together in times of diversity and we address it as a community," Jones
Many gathered to pray for Trayvon and to talk about how his death had impacted them individually.
"I have grandchildren his age, it affected me as a father," said Griner.
Local civil rights leaders and members of community organizations had an open panel with those who attended.
The microphone was open to everyone and people were encouraged to ask questions.
One student who attended said its events like these that bring people together.
"I'm glad that we had this tonight, that there were so many strong messages of love and peace within this community," said University of Florida student, Nailah Summers.
There's no telling what impact this trial will have across the state and even the nation, but right now many communities are praying for peace.

Center console storage
I was watching a YouTube video earlier and noticed the arm rest on the center console lifted up so you could store more in the console under the arm rest . Mine does not do this. Only reason I can think of is I have the CD player. I'm not sure what difference that would make. Anybody know for sure?
Re: Center console storage
The cd player takes up the space that the upper tray would occupy. There is an old thread that showed a number of people were getting rid of the cd player and buying the parts to recover that storage space.
That's what I was afraid of. I will try to find the thread and see what would be involved in ditching the CD player. I would much rather have the extra storage.
Re: Center console storage
Thank you!
Re: Center console storage
And you will want to see this thread too:
Re: Center console storage
I ordered mine from here: 68212884AA Mopar FLOOR CONSOLE $85.39
Once it arrives I'll do an install with photos etc.
Anyone have the upper tray part number so the storage gets back the secondary small tray section attached to the lid? (felt lined)

The rubbish that was dumped at the back of Clare Avenue, Hoole
A MAN has been forced to pay out a total of £1,800 after admitting dumping a large amount of rubbish in an alleyway in Chester.
Darren Davis from Wallasey left the large pile of waste at the back of Clare Avenue, Hoole, an area which has long been targeted by flytippers who cost taxpayers in Chester thousands of pounds each year.
Davis pleaded guilty to an offence under the Environmental Protection Act when he appeared at Chester Magistrates Court.
He was given a 12 month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £500 towards legal costs and £1,300 towards investigation and clean up costs.
Cllr Lynn Riley, executive member for community and environment said: "There is a problem of flytipping in alleyways across the borough and particularly in Chester.
"This prosecution shows if you do commit this offence you will be prosecuted and you could end up paying a considerable amount of money in costs."

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 794931
kernel update writes grub.conf unbootable
Last modified: 2013-02-13 16:16:03 EST
Description of problem: Latest F16 kernel upgrade, on a system running Grub legacy, automatically wrote new grub.conf lines for new kernel with 'boot' command incorrectly preceding 'initrd' command.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest kernel release
How reproducible: Update kernel on a system using Grub legacy
Steps to Reproduce:
Actual results: Grub does not boot system because commands in wrong order
Expected results: Grub should boot system
Additional info:
grubby updates grub.conf/grub.cfg
Please attach your grub.conf
Created attachment 564516 [details]
Latest kernel update grub.conf
This is the most recent update; grub.conf is incorrect as with the previous update.
That is very odd. boot doesn't belong there at all. It should look something like this:
title Fedora (188.8.131.52-2.fc15.i686.PAE)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-184.108.40.206-2.fc15.i686.PAE ro root=UUID=39e8b140-7e98-4854-a487-b14cdec0096e rd_MD_UUID=d2837937:546d2c82:0bacdb1d:b22012e4 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us
initrd /initramfs-18.104.22.168-2.fc15.i686.PAE.img
boot is usually in the comment section, not an active command. Did you edit this yourself? I would guess that a previous boot entry got scrambled and grubby is just copying it when it tries to update (it uses the previous entry as a template for creating a new one).
Yes I had to create this myself after doing preupgrade from Fedora 14, because my old grub.conf was wrecked by the preupgrade and not updated to a bootable system--possibly a result of a failed update to grub2. I just used the manual grub commands and put them into the menu.lst to be able to boot my new kernel, providing the entry for what you now see as title "Fedora 16". I have had two kernel updates since then, and both times the boot command is written in the wrong order in grub.conf. I guess I cannot rely on grubby for automatic update when I had to begin with a manually edited grub.conf.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '16'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Robb Bauer shines at the 1980 swimming state championships with an individual and relay title
When Robb Bauer was about 8 years old, he did a little goal setting with some guidance from his father.
Bill Bauer was the coach of the Forest Grove Swim Club back then, and he engaged his pupils, including young Robb, in an exercise.
We had each one of the swimmers write down a goal on a piece of paper, write it down real big, you know, the elder Bauer recalled. And put it above your locker or above your bed. Put it somewhere you see it all the time.
Father and son engaged in a bit of discussion about Robbs goal. They decided on the state record for the 50-yard freestyle for the boys 8 and under division, which Bill remembered being a time of 32.5 seconds.
In pursuit of that record, Robb soon demonstrated a skill that would characterize his swimming career: the ability to step up when it matters most.
At the championship meet, what does he swim? Bill said. Thirty-two five. Sometimes it does pay to set goals.
Robb Bauer continued that pattern all the way through a record-setting career at Forest Grove High School and beyond. Before graduating in 1980, he set numerous Viking program records, won two state titles and broke a state meet record.
For his accomplishments, Bauer has been selected to the fifth class of the schools Athletic Hall of Fame. Along with the other honorees, he will be formally inducted Oct. 4 during a banquet at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains.
I appreciate that. Its an honor, totally, Bauer said of his inclusion. They only do five or six ... every year, so its a very elite group, for sure.
The second-oldest of Bill and Shirley Bauers four children, Robb was born into a swimming family. His dad was a four-time letter-winner for Jefferson High in Portland, which won a state title in 1951, and Robb was in the pool from his earliest days.
Because he coached, it was just something that was probably easy for the family, Robb said about his father. We all swam as kids, so it was a family thing.
Bauer was born in Portland, but the family moved out to Forest Grove when he was about 6 years old. Not long after, Bauer began his swimming career and overcame asthma to compete.
Though Bauer admits he enjoyed having fun in the pool, he also developed into a hard worker a prerequisite for anyone who wants to excel in swimming and refined his strokes, learning from his coaches and teammates along the way. He also grew, eventually, to a lanky 6-foot-2, a useful build for a swimmer.
Before he reached high school, Bauer was nipping at the heels of some of the citys best and brightest, including Tom Gamble, who also swam for the Forest Grove club team and won a high school state title in the 100-yard backstroke in 1975, five years before Bauer earned his in the same event.
I can remember, What is the coachs kid doing in my lane? said Gamble, now the Forest Grove parks and recreation director, with a good-natured chuckle. This kids getting fast. I gotta start working harder.
The young Bauer, who eventually started swimming at the Multnomah Athletic Club under Trond Williams while still in high school, continued to excel. He qualified for the state meet in two individual events as a sophomore in 1978, and his star continued to rise his junior season.
That year, Bauer defended his titles in the 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke at the Coast-Valley League district meet, and his 200 medley relay team broke the meet record but settled for second place behind a speedy McMinnville quartet.
That relay team, which included John Reynolds, Mike Montano and B.J. Beu, was a bit star-crossed at the state meet, though. The Vikings made the championship final but were disqualified for leaving the blocks too early on an exchange.
Bauer did make the most of his individual races, taking second to Greshams Scott Flury in the 100 back and seventh in the individual medley.
And after those results, Bauer knew exactly what he wanted as a senior.
The main goal, I think, was getting the state record in backstroke and winning that event, he said. The relay of course was also at the top of our priority because we were probably ranked fastest going into that year as well.
In the buildup to the 1980 state meet, Bauer set school records in the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle races and in the individual medley, and he broke District 4 meet records in the 100 back, 200 free and as part of the medley relay, which once again included Montano, Beu and Reynolds.
Then the action really heated up at the state meet in Gresham. To kick off finals with Bauer putting Forest Grove out front as the leadoff swimmer Forest Grove crushed the field by a second and a half. The winning time of 1:40.38 was the meets third-fastest winning mark to date.
But Bauer saved his best for last. After a seventh-place finish in the 200 free, Bauer got another shot at Flury and delivered in record time. Like the relay, this race wasnt close: Bauer toppled the reigning champion, 54.12 to 55.15, and broke the 8-year-old OSAA meet record by .13 seconds.
For me it was like the perfect race and it was the perfect time, and it was the perfect event, because thats when you want to do it, the biggest event, Bauer said. It was great. It kind of made up for the previous year, for sure.
Bauer went on to swim for two years at the University of Washington. As a freshman, he made the final of the 200 backstroke at the Pac-10 championships and just missed qualifying for the NCAA national meet.
He left school before graduating to pursue a business opportunity and has worked in the computer and technology field ever since, currently as the owner of Rapid Technologies, which repurposes and distributes computer parts. Bauer has two teenage sons, is engaged, and resides in Northwest Portland.

Hello folks
Hello folks, just thought I'd post a quick intro :)
Been "kind of" into aquariums for pretty much 20+ years, but only really now had the time, money and opportunity to think about heading towards a decent starter tank. In the past I've always either had those kitchen-tank-of-algal-delight with nothing but the every-expanding Pleco surviving in the murk (and of course a token koolie, not found until the last of the gravel is thrown away).
Happily now got a little 60L tank started (and even have The Boss' approval!)
Photography is another hobby, so will probably try and combine the two :)
This tank is now about two months settled, so had the initial crop of births (snails), deaths (tetras) and homicides (puffer, see tetras).
Thanks in advance for any hints and tips as I start ramping up to the questions - I already envisage some coming on plants, as I want to keep the real plants rather than resort to plastic ones, and probably species-combinations that don't consider each other as snacks.
The current population stands at
Welcome to the forum. Nice start with the tank.
Welcome to the Forum :)

What would you like to do?
How much would be deducted from a 2000 monthly paycheck for FICA?
for fica deductions if you want your social security and medicare deductions separate its
1.45% for social security
and 6.2% for medicare
the monthy total would be %149.00 a month
signed a tenth grader in Missouri
1.45% for social security
and 6.2% for medicare
the monthy total would be %149.00 a month
signed a tenth grader in Missouri
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
Is FICA deduction before or after 401K deductions?
A deduction is made "pre-tax" if it avoids at least one form of taxation. Although contributions to "traditional" versions of 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans, as well a…s 457 plans, are "pre-tax" deductions for purposes of Federal income tax, they ARE subject to FICA withholding. In contrast, Section 125 ("Cafeteria Plan") healthcare premiums are deducted before FICA liability is calculated.
Which would you expect to be the lowest amount on your pay stub FICA or Medicare deduction?
Medicare Deduction -apex
How much Social Security do they deduct from your paycheck?
The specific amount withheld should be shown on your payment stub or direct deposit receipt, and is labeled FICA. A total of 7.65% of your pre-tax income (6.2% for Social Se…curity and 1.45% for Medicare Hospital benefits) is withheld from each paycheck until you reach the current earnings cap of $106,800. There is no earnings cap for the 1.45% Medicare Hospitalization contribution, so that continues to be withheld regardless of your income. Your employer pays a matching amount from company funds, bringing the total contribution on your behalf to 15.3% of the first $106,800 of salary. If you earn less than the maximum, you can easily calculate your total annual contribution by multilplying your base salary x .0765. For example: A person who earns $35,000 in 2010 will contribute $2,677.50 toward future retirement benefits, and his or her company would match that contribution for a total of $5,355.
When does FICA stop being withheld in paychecks?
When you have one employer the amount of FICA for your social security would stop once your wages with the withheld social security amount reach 106800 and social security amo…unt withheld would be 6621.60 If you have more than one employer and your combined wages reported on your W-2 are more than the 106800 amount and your the withheld social security amount is more than the 6621.60 then you would get a tax credit for the amount that is over the 6621.60 on your federal income tax return.
What does fica deduction consist of?
Medicare and Social Security
What does FICA on a paycheck stand for?
Federal Insurance Contributions Act - more commonly referred toas Social Security.
What percent is taken for your paycheck for FICA in Tennessee?
It is a FEDERAL program and your state makes no difference. All in the US pay it the same way. FICA tax, actually an insurance premium...social security and medicare benefit…s are 15.30% of FICA taxable wages, (which are slightly different than normal taxable wages). A self employed person pays the entire amount....an employee pays half - 7.65% and the employer the other half
What does levy deduction on a paycheck mean?
Answer It refers to the garnishment of wages by a creditor for repayment of a debt. States inact their own garnishment laws, the maximum amount allowed… by federal law is 25% of disposable income the first $154.50 of weekly wages are totally exempt. A garnishment order for debt can often be modified if "undue hardship" can be proven. These terms DO NOT apply to child support and in some cases spousal maintenance.
What percentage of your paycheck is withheld for FICA?
7.65% up to a limit around $100K and the employer pays the same amount on your behalf ans As of the law passed Dec. 2010: The tax is payable on the first $106,800 of earnin…gs. Earning are defined slightly differently for this than what is used for withholding, (or other things). Additionally, a portion of what was a total of 15.3% tax (half employer paid, half employee), is dedicated to Medicare and has no maximum earnings. HOWEVER: Under current law, employees pay a 6.2% Social Security tax on all wages earned up to $106,800 (in 2011) and self-employed individuals pay 12.4% Social Security self-employment taxes on all their self-employment income up to the same threshold. For 2011, the Senate passed 2010 Tax Reform Act gives a two-percentage-point payroll/self-employment tax holiday for employees and self-employeds. As a result, employees will pay only 4.2% Social Security tax on wages and self-employment individuals will pay only 10.4% Social Security self-employment taxes on self-employment income up to the threshold. The maximum savings for 2011 will be $2,136 (2% of $106,800).
What deduction is the largest percentage of paycheck deductions?
Probably the OASDI (FICA) (social security and medicare taxes) all mean the same tax.
