I spent part of my Christmas holidays estimating my tax liability for 2012. Exciting stuff, huh? But rather than the usual gnashing of teeth that accompanied many of my tax-filing season computations in the past, I was pleased with my initial tally of income and expenses in my first year as an independent contractor.
After writing for a consumer audience for decades, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to reach a new audience of financial advisers through my column for Investment News. But I wanted to tackle this new challenge on my own terms, as a consultant, not as an employee. It's been an exciting endeavor that fits well with my pursuit of another goal: a Certified Financial Planning credential. (Six courses completed; one to go!)
As I tackled this transitional career, I followed the advice that I doled out to my readers over the years: the tax planning values of self-employment. I'm lucky. My husband is a full-time federal employee, so he covers our health insurance needs. And his long-term civil service will provide us both with retiree health benefits for life.
Being self-employed, I must pay both the employer and employee portions of the Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes (although I enjoyed the 2% tax holiday on the employee portion in 2012). But I also get to take advantage of this dual role in saving for retirement.
I opened a solo-401(k) before the end of the year, allowing me to contribute up to $22,500 as a 50-plus employee. Plus, before I file my 2012 tax returns, I'll also be able to contribute up to 20% of my net self-employment income, which is my net income minus half of my FICA taxes.
The maximum contribution for a solo 401(k) for 2012 is $55,500. That beats the maximum amount allowed under a SEP IRA, which does not include a catch-up provision for those 50 and older. And, because of the dual contribution formula, I can contribute more to a solo 401(k) than I could to a SEP IRA at the same income level.
The long-term care insurance premiums that I pay for me and my husband are also deductible—up to the IRS maximum for our ages. That's something I was never able to deduct on my federal return because—luckily—our medical expenses never exceeded 7.5% of our adjusted gross income. If I paid our medical insurance premiums, that would also be deductible as a business expense, too.
All the equipment and furniture that I purchased last year to outfit my home office qualify for a first-year write off (although I could choose to depreciate them). And my day-to-day office supplies and unreimbursed travel expenses are deductible, too.
Unlike presidential candidates, I'm not in the habit of disclosing my tax returns (or tying family pets to the roof of my care, for that matter). But I think it can serve as a helpful reminder to advisers working with clients who are transitioning into retirement. Part-time consulting or other home-based businesses can hold some attractive income-generating and tax-planning opportunities on the way to full-time retirement.

Anesthesia For Surgical Abortions
Both first and second trimester surgical abortions can be performed with various types of anesthesia – local anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. At Atlanta Women's Center, we offer local and IV sedation. These methods can help to control pain and discomfort during the procedure – each will have benefits and drawbacks. The doctor and medical staff will help you decide which method is best for you. While either local or IV sedation is appropriate for a 1st trimester procedure, our physicians feel that after 12 weeks in a pregnancy, IV sedation is most appropriate and do not offer local anesthesia past that point in pregnancy.
Local Anesthesia
If your procedure is performed with local anesthesia you will be awake and conscious, and will be able to see, hear and feel during the procedure. Your physician will inject an anesthetic into your cervix. This medication will relax your cervix, but you will still experience cramping and discomfort during the procedure. Because everyone is different, some women will describe the procedure as uncomfortable while others will say that it is painful. Ibuprofen is offered after the surgery to ease cramping and discomfort.
Choosing local anesthesia allows you to come to the clinic on your own. You will be able to drive or take public transportation without an escort to ensure your safety. Local anesthetic will also help you avoid some of the side effects of IV sedation medicines, like nausea and drowsiness.
IV sedation
If your procedure is performed under IV sedation, you will not see, hear or feel any part of the surgery, and you will not remember anything about the surgery afterwards. This type of anesthesia is administered through an IV. While this is a great method for women who wish to decrease pain, it is not appropriate for all women. The Center's medical staff will talk with you about your medical history to ensure that you are able to have IV sedation safely. IV sedation can sometimes cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and feeling cold, and it takes longer to leave your system than a local anesthetic. You might feel drowsy for several hours or even a whole day after your surgery.
If you choose IV sedation, you will be required to have a friend or family member escort you to and from the Center because you will not be able to drive or take public transportation on your own after your procedure.

Anybody know a good substitute for fish sauce?

I love to cook Asian food, and often this comes up in recipes, but I'm allergic to seafood. Usually I just leave it out, but then if the meal comes out less than spectacular, I wonder if that's why. Anyone have a suggested replacement?
One of my Thai cookbooks--I think a vegetarian one--suggests salty water. If I find "recipe", I'll post it.
Are you allergic to finfish or just shellfish? If latter, you could dilute anchovy paste in water to be sure no shellfish in your fish sauce. (I think it's made from finfish, but who can be sure?)
For oyster sauce, maybe tamarind paste diluted in soy sauce with sugar and a touch of catsup?
I would suggest soy sauce--it won't taste quite the same, but you'll still get that saltiness. You might want to check out Real Vegetarian Thai--the sell copy for this cookbook specifically talks about how she eliminates fish sauce. (I don't have the book myself, or I'd flip through to see what she recommends.)
I just substituted chicken broth in a recipe for kabosha squash soup (called for shellfish stock) and it came out great. There are some fermented soy type products that can also give a salty tang.
I cook with all three fish, oyster and soy, and I think soy sauce is probably the best substitute for fish sauce in most recipes.
I came up against this problem when I used to be a vegetarian. The suggestions of soy sauce or broth are both good, but nine times out of ten I found it made very little difference to just skip it altogether.
Wow, thingamabriarians really do know everything! Thanks for all the great suggestions. I ended up going a different direction last night (I tried this - and the chicken was freaking amazing. You can even skip the guac sauce (I did) and just eat the chicken with black beans for an ultra-lean meal and it's delicious), but I'm going to give soy sauce a shot as a substitute, I never even would have thought of that! I've had this recipe for thai barbeque chicken that I've been wanting to make forever, so that'll be my test case :D
That recipe sounds awesome, ph/j - I am definitely going to give it a try.
I'm not vegetarian, but I usually cook vegetarian at home since my partner is. My usual substitute for fish sauce, which I found in one of my cookbooks, is a combination of 2 parts soy sauce and 1 part lime juice; it helps get the rest of the sour complexity of fish sauce that just the salty soy sauce doesn't provide.
For oyster sauce, there's a sauce marketed as "Vegetarian Stirfry Sauce" made from shiitake mushrooms that's quite similar (sold next to the oyster sauce in identically-shaped bottles and everything), providing the same salty/sweet/umami combination.
Halo everyone, Yes Lorax is on the right path as most of you are. Soy Sauce with a citrus twist such as lemon or lime is a good way forward. You can also use tamarind sauce or paste with water instead of the lemon or lime. The other beautiful thing about this, is that its a alkaline additive which our bodies thrive upon. The down side is that vegetarians are depleting the world soy to the point of complete depletion. I use this particular method of Soy and Tamarind when cooking Chicken Curry Pinoy Style. Good Luck and happy quisine :-)
>9 lorax:
Took the words out of my mouth. Depending on your druthers, you might also consider adding fresh crushed ginger to the mix.
Another fish sauce substitute to keep in mind is a newish product, vegan Worchestershire sauce.

Looked at a Walther PPS 40 today, thinking of acquiring one for a light alternative to my 1911, just something to carry under a T shirt. Anyone own one? Like it? Not?
My brother has one in 9mm and he loves it. I've put about 50 rounds through it myself and it shoots pretty nice. I prefer my shield .40 personally
I had both .. They are perfect for IWB/OWB and shoot great and are easy to take down .. I wish I had not sold mine but other things came up ..

Thanks, I'm going back and forth between the Walther and an HK USP Compact Tactical 45 I know they don't really compare but I can't afford them both at once and I think they're both on the buy list.
I had one for about a year and sold it. It's nice that it shoots like a bigger gun... but that's because it is a bigger gun, being one of the larger of the new line of modern "Pocket" 9's; though still smaller than a 1911 for sure.
If you like the compact USP, you should take a gander at the HK45c.

personally, I'd buy a SW Shield and a Glock 30S.....all for the price of one HK USP Tactical Compact 45. But I shop at Walmart and drive a Corolla.

I've been carrying a PPS .40 since 2008? 09? Carries easily in a High Noon holster. I find it to be the best automatic for cc made. It is renown for its accuracy, which doesn't really add to defensive shooting scenarios, but sure is fun on the range when it outshoots duty size frames. It takes some break in, but soon has one of the better striker fired triggers out there.
S&W stopped importing Walther so they could release their same market share, Shield. The Shield seemed like the cat's pajamas at the time. The grip on the Shield is a bit wider, and more ergonomic for some. It holds one more round. PPS owners have remarked about the overall finish of the PPS. The difference is like most guns. You get what you pay for. I wouldn't trade my PPS for a Shield. I would consider adding an XDs .45
Mine works well, shoots great and is easy to carry. I'm not a fan of the mag release or expensive cost of magazines.

I have one in 9mm. I have had several of the single stack 9's and the PPS is the best.
I prefer P99c
I have a PPS in 9mm. Awesome gun, though not a pocket gun it still conceals very easily IWB. It is a very accurate and nice shooting gun for its size. FWIW, I was looking into purchasing an HK45CT, but ended up with the HK45T instead. The compact version really isn't all that compact (for an HK it is) and a little on the thick side for IWB carry. I also have a P30S in 9mm, which is another beautiful gun. The Walther P99C with the AS trigger is also a very nice gun.

Paula Deen Prevails in Racial Discrimination Suit
Though the process may have irreparably ruined her career, Paula Deen has prevailed in the racial discrimination lawsuit filed against her.
In a decision, the judge ruled that plaintiff Lisa Jackson could not claim racial discrimination because she is white and any comments that the celebrity cook or any of her associates made would not have legally mattered to someone who was not a target.
Though Ms. Jackson argued that she had a biracial family member, the judge said even if that were true, she was an "accidental victim" of any discrimination.
However, the lawsuit will continue to rage on in court as she's also being sued for sexual discrimination. Stay linked to GossipCenter to see how it all pans out.

I make lots of short journeys, how will this affect my DPF?
The particles are trapped on the walls of the DPF, stored and continually disposed of. We call this process 'regeneration'. The DPF system needs the car to be driven at a constant road speed so the regeneration process can be completed successfully. Lots of short journeys, and trips that involve stop/start traffic, may cause the regeneration cycle to be unsuccessful. A single, longer journey may be all that is required for regeneration to be successfully completed. If your typical driving profile involves short trips in heavy traffic, you may wish to reconsider your choice of car, and may prefer to choose either an electric or hybrid model or one with a small petrol engine instead.>
Does the RNS radio have voice control?
Our new RNS radio navigation system is even easier to use with voice control. Have a look here to find out more about it.>

Puppy's First Bad Day
Fawn is 17 weeks and hasn't done anything concerning or exciting behaviorally... until today.
Our usual walk is with my old dog Daisy to the coffee shop, through the hardware store and back past a gated park for some off leash time before heading home. Fawn walks fine with Daisy and I but if I leave the old lady at home to rest, my GSD pup spends more time being alert and seems concerned about distant dogs barking.
Today I not only left Daisy at home, but tried a new walking journey with Fawn past the gated school and through two blocks of residential area to a natural preserve to look at birds. I've taken this route with Daisy and recalled there is an unstable GSD in a small run in one of he backyards we'd have to pass. I just planned to be on the other side of the street.
The walk started out well, but when we crossed the street to avoid the unstable GSD who spins and barks loudly in his kennel, a pitbull wandered to his gate to see what the fuss was about. The pitbull was young himself and seemed friendly but Fawn lost her mind. Started barking wildly with her hackles up all the way down her back. The pitbull continued to be good and only barked back a little while I just kept walking while Fawn was trying to either bolt or put on her breaks. She was overly alert after that for a block and then was back to normal. On the way back, I picked her up as we passed the same pit pup and she didn't react while I was carrying her. I set her down after and the rest of the walk was uneventful.
Clearly I've mis-stepped somewhere. Have I walked her with Daisy too much and now she's uncomfortable walking with me alone? I don't let her meet strange dogs and am hoping for indifference or at least for her to be less impressionable when she starts to meet dogs. I hope my lack of dog on dog socializing isn't backfiring.
A few hours later we went to get her rabies vaccination. There were a ton of dogs waiting in line and Fawn was trembling a bit. She sat and went into a down voluntarily but would jump up and start barking her head off and have to be quieted down several times. She's been at the vet several times and just sat in my lap, I was unprepared for her to at this way. I picked her up again to quiet her down. Good decision?
We are starting beginning obedience in a few weeks, I'm hoping to have her meet other pups in this controlled setting. I also hope she won't be shaking and barking through the whole thing.
Lastly, also to my surprised, she likes to bark at people on the street now. She wants to go see them to lick them and probably piddle on their feet and that's usual for her but the demanding attention barking isn't. How should I curb/correct this?
Thank you so much for reading and let me know what you think so I can make this better and/or not any worse!

Buy to let mortgage comparison sites should make shopping around for the best landlord loan deal easy – but not every web site offers the cheapest mortgage deals.
The problem for landlords is the search engine that powers the results for the sites.
Some share the same service, while others do not have every lender listed.
It's the same for landlords who try to source a deal through a broker – the broker may be independent but rather than offering a whole of the market service, belongs to a mortgage club run by a network of brokers or an insurance firm.
So what is the cheapest buy to let mortgage deal – and how do you find it?
First, forget that headline mortgage rate deliberately dangled as a carrot to grab your attention.
Low interest rates can often mask high set-up fees and reversion rates – the interest rate charged when the fixed or tracker deal ends.
For example, the lowest two-year fixed rate is The Mortgage Works 2.49% at 60% loan-to-value.
A £150,000 interest only loan at the maximum LTV costs £311 a month and comes with a £3,750 fee on...
a buy to let home worth £250,000. That's a total expense of £11,214 over two years.
But the Leeds Building Society 2.59% fixed over 24 months at the same loan to value costs £324 a month with a £999 fee, which adds up to £8,775 for the same value mortgage on the same value property over the same 24 months.
For landlords wanting to fix, now could be the time to act.
Former deputy governor of the Bank of England Sir John Gieve said: "These are emergency rates of monetary policy. We should be expecting them to normalise them over a period.
"I think there is a good chance that we will see the first rate rise before the end of the year."©LandlordZONE® – legal content applies primarily to England and is not a definitive statement of the law; always seek professional advice.

'Arrow' Season 2 Taps 'Homeland' Baddie Navid Negahban for "League of Assassins"
Earlier in the week we cleared up a bit of 'Arrow' season 2 news that suggested an upcoming episode title would pay homage to Batman villain Ra's Al Ghul, instead referencing a more general take on DC comic group the "League of Assassins." Now, their leader has a familiar face, as 'Homeland' big bad Navid Negahban has joined the cast in another villainous role.
E! first reported the news of Negahban's casting in the scimitar-wielding role of Al-Owal, name translated as "The First," a League of Assassins member who comes to Starling City in order to threaten someone close to Oliver. A few reports have differed, but sources say the character has trained with Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), and will look to harm a character named "Lisa."
Navid Negahban recurred on 'Homeland' over two seasons, acting as a regular in the second before exiting the series altogether. Negahban has also appeared on '24' in the past.
In addition to incorporating Metamorpho, The Atom and The Flash, 'Arrow' season 2 will pick up on October 9 some time after the events of season 1 finale "Sacrifice," continuing its 'Batman Begins'-influenced storytelling with the addition of new villains Isabel Rochev (Summer Glau), Brother Blood (Kevin Alejandro), Bronze Tiger (Michael Jai White) and DC character Sin ('The Killing"s Bex Taylor Klaus). Guest stars Colton Haynes (Roy Harper), Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak) and Manu Bennett (Slade Wilson) have all been upgraded to series regulars for the second year in Starling City.
We'll keep an eye out for the latest 'Arrow' season 2 castings, but what say you? Are you excited to see Oliver Queen take on the "League of Assassins" this year?

Oil Change questions
Hey guys,
I bought my V back in august 2012, with 21.7k miles, I am now at 25.9k miles, coming up on 5k miles and looking to change it myself soon. my questions:
- what weight is recommended for them?
- is the capacity 8 or 9 quarts?
- is a special oil filter needed?
- is the oil life percentage on the DIC accurate? I still have over 50% life showing.
any other recommendations? whats recommended by 25k miles? the other fluids have not been changed yet. Thanks for the help!

Re: Oil Change questions
you should get 10k out of the oil.. the dic is pretty acccurate honestly. it takes 8.8 quarts i believe.
Re: Oil Change questions
I only put about 5,000 miles a year on my cars (5 miles from my house to work) so I change the oil at one year even if the mileage on the oil is low. The Oil Life Monitor may not get to 0% until you hit 10,000 miles. How often you change it is really up to you (and your wallet). The Oil Life Monitor works pretty well but I wouldn't run it past 0% (or to 0% for that matter). My Oil Life Monitor is at 58% and one year will be the 1st week in March. I'll change it this weekend or next. On my wife's vehicle (6 cyl, Chrysler product) I change at 7,500 miles running M1 EP. That's my comfort level for stop and go city driving. I would suggest that you use Mobil 1, Mobil 1 Extended Performance, Amsoil, or other equivalent 5W-30 synthetic motor oil. This car runs high oil pressure, use the recommended AC Delco or other premium oil filter (M-1, Amsoil, Wix, etc). The owner's manual specs 9.0 qts. That may vary a bit, don't overfill it. If you have the dealer change the oil I would make sure they use Mobil 1, not dexos1 (although Mobil 1 is dexos1 approved). More info here; http://www.gmdexos.com/. Also, this is site has a lot of info about motor oil http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/. Everyone has their own opinion based on their experience. That's my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
Re: Oil Change questions
Thanks for that info!
Also, not sure exactly how much oil the previous owner used, but checking the dipstick shows a level halfway up the measuring portion of the stick. Im debating if i should add half or whole quart as a just in case measure. Does it sound like she has enough oil? Also the DIC shows 71% oil life, even though ive put almost 5k since the last oil change.

Re: Oil Change questions
If you're halfway up the measuring portion then you're right on the money. That area is equal to a quart. If you were at the bottom you would be a quart below maximum.
I've sent oil to Blackstone Labs that had 13,500 miles on it after changing the oil when the Oil Life Indicator read 5%. Oil was fine and Blackstone said I could have gone 15k miles on it. The 3k, 5k, 7.5k mile limit on oil is 100% an old wives tale. Today's synthetic oil is night and day different than oil from the 1970's. Secondly, GM didn't pay an engineer a lot of money to develop an algorithm that would put them in jeopardy of having to cover warranty claims of seizing engines. The DIC Oil Life Monitor is accurate. Very Accurate.
Re: Oil Change questions
Oil capacity is 9 quarts on a 4.4L S/C N* (STS-V or XLR-V)
the owners manual will recommend that you use a synthetic 5w30 that meets the GM Standard GM4718M
this standard has been replaced by the dexos standard and you will be ok using a dexos oil (even though most of them are syn blends)
the oil filler cap should probably say Mobil1 5w30 on it and that's fine to use as it is GM4718M (or was) and is currently a dexos oil (check the back label if you're not sure)
OLM is accurate there's a ton of reading ahead if you want theoretical proof
but if you want actual proof/evidence send some oil samples to blackstone labs (make sure you note what the OLM said when you send the samples out)
fyi, the test kit is free (you pay for the results... they're fairly priced though)
Re: Oil Change questions
What I've found on past vehicles is that very short trips don't allow the oil to get hot enough, long enough to burn off any condensation that may build up. I've seen oil that looked milky from the short driving cycle repeated many times.
Re: Oil Change questions
Excellent point. Getting the oil hot (not overheated) is important to get maximum miles between oil changes. I check the oil, tire pressure and wash the car on Saturdays. The oil color looks good, still translucent. Remember it's warm to hot down here. In the summer the ambient temperature is at 6 AM is 75 – 80 degrees and by late afternoon it's 95 degrees. Winter is 50 to 60 at 6 AM and the afternoon is 75 to 85. Most of the time I run my DIC is the oil temp mode and in the summer the oil temp runs up to 180 degrees on the morning drive and 200 to 210 in the afternoon drive. Winter the oil temperature is 160+ in the morning and 180 to 200 in the afternoon. Traffic here in south Florida is very heavy at this time of year so it may take me 20 to 30 minutes each way to drive my 5 miles to and from work. Today was a bit of exception to the rule. It only reached 60 degrees ambient and on a 5 mile drive the oil temp only hit 165 degrees. If I were in the northern states and only driving 5 miles each way to work I'd keep a close eye on it, probably run an oil analysis at 3k to see what the story is or just change it at 5k. That may be cheaper. I think the OLM takes the temperature into account so low ambient temps and short runs should reduce the miles between oil changes. Regardless, always best to check it regularly. Down here, I'll continue to run the wife's van to 7,5k.
In the summer, it's funny to start your car in the morning and the water temp gauge is already 1/8 to 1/4 of the way up.
Re: Oil Change questions
Ah, then that makes sense. I didn't notice you live in FL, compared to my northern climate.
From what I remember, a good rule of thumb is oil temp at 200F for 20 minutes to burn off moisture in your oil.
OLM is mainly based off of temp and rpm
The more rpm's at colder temps the quicker the life will degrade.
Re: Oil Change questions
Bump for old thread.
I was wondering if a different grade oil could be used. Does it "have" to be 5W30? I have been reading up and i want to try Pennzoil Ultra but am curious if another viscosity can make it run better.
P.S. I used the search function
P.S.S. The amount of threads in regards to oil leaks is terrifying.
Re: Oil Change questions
5w30 is the only recommended viscosity

European Research Council launched today
Feb 27, 2007 2007-02-27T14:22:18+0000
Scientists in Europe are set to benefit from a massive new source of research money following the official launch of the European Research Council (ERC) at a conference in Berlin today. The ERC -- the first pan-European funding agency to cover all fields of science -- will award grants to individual researchers worth a total of Euro 7.5bn over the next seven years. The launch conference is being attended by over 280 scientists including German chancellor and former physicist Angela Merkel, who is the current president of the European Union's council of ministers.
The ERC is part of the European Union's massive €54.6bn Seventh Framework programme, which is designed to boost Europe's competitiveness and increase economic growth. Although the bulk of the money will be spent on large multinational projects in areas such as nanotechnology, IT and energy, this is the first time that Framework cash is being given directly to individual scientists working alone or in small teams.
Based in Brussels, the ERC will provide "starting grants" for postdocs and other young scientists who want to set up their own research groups. These will be worth up to €2m over five years. The ERC is also offering "advanced grants" to established researchers of any age, worth up to €2.5m over five years.
Grants will be awarded in all areas of science and selected on the basis of peer review, with scientific excellence being the sole criterion for selection. Scientists from any country can apply for the money provided that they carry out the research at a university or institute in Europe. They will be able to start applying for money from 19 March this year, with the deadline for the first call for proposals being 25 April.Today's launch conference is being attended by some 300 scientists from some 30 countries and hosted by the German Research Council. Apart from Merkel, other dignitaries in Berlin include Europe Union research commissioner Janez Potočnik, the British government's chief scientific adviser David King, and CERN boss Robert Aymar.

We breed Newfoundlands. ( used to )
This image is a few years ago now, was one of our bitches, called Bella.
Love this photo, as no one believes it is a dog, but a fella dressed as a gorilla lol.
Well it isnt it is bona fide.
We had at one point 7 adults, and at times 8 pups too.
Now down to 2 bitches, Coco and Roxy. One brown and one black ( in fact daughter and mother )
We no longer breed, just enjoy these gentle giants. Possibly the very best temperament dog you ever could wish for.Ste
I nearly died laughing when I saw the picture. It looks like a gorilla.
A few days after starting this thread, I got a dog but…..
....on that first day, he got REALLY sick. Of course in the short time I was with him, I had completely fallen in love with him so I had to see it through.
After 10 days at the vets, he was finally well enough to come home last night!
Check out my new puppy and the coolest dog on the planet, Charlie!
Aww he's adorable! Glad to hear he's doing okay now
Charlie, what a cutie! What kind of dog is he?
I hope he is all healed up and feeling better

Thanks guys!
The general consensus on his breed is that he's a Golden Retriever/Sheltie/Collie mix. I rescued him from a kennel so your guess is as good as mine!
Fyi Golden Retrievers are one of the most intelligent dog kinds in the world. That's why I chose my beautiful dog from that category

As a water rescue dog, could you find better ?
Fearless, strong and naturally life savers
did I mention strong ?

i can only recommend, as they are very loveable beings, but remember: no matter how big your backyard is, or how small the dog is, you HAVE TO WALK it every day at least once. so if you are the lazy kind, betterget a cat or fish, or whatever. a dog in the house is like a new family member, only with very special needs. keep that in mind, and you will have a happy dog.
Cat owner myself. Any animal is great (until they get diarrhea ). Highly recommend getting one.
Glad to hear that you actually went to a kennel and gave that little guy a new home. Good on you Jami!
Huge animal lover myself…i have a cat, a dog and…................a lionhead rabbit!

I have had an intermittent rough idle for a long time. Not a bad enough problem to be real worried about, but enough to be annoying. Every so often, primarily on cold starts, it would hunt for the idle, dropping revs down to almost stall and then just kind of bouncing around. Pretty easily fixed by just revving it up to about 2k rpm for a minute and it would "catch" and settle in to a nice smooth idle around 700rpm or so. This has been happening for quite a while, at least a year, probably 2 or more. I have replaced the IAC valve, the EGR, the DPFE, cleaned the MAF several times, and the spark plugs, and it never went away (I thought after I swapped the EGR it went away but it did eventually come back). Before that, I replaced the PCV and notorious PCV hose, and have changed spark plug wires, fuel filter, and probably plenty of other little routine things along the way.
I just took my car to a friend's shop to get the timing belt done (i am at 162k, been pushing that one...) Get the car back and it was idling like crap all the time now, jumping/bucking and threatening to stall out. Different than the intermittent, easy to "fix" bad idle described above. I figure it must be due to the timing belt change so I take it back to the shop. He determines that the EGR solenoid (also called EGR Control Solenoid) is stuck open, and replaced it. Now it idles nice and smooth. I'm really hoping that this also fixes my long-term intermittent idle problem too. I'm hoping that it has been sticking just a little bit, dying a looong sloooow death, and that my longterm issue is fixed. Seems weird because it shouldn't open until the car is warmed up - I'm thinking maybe from the previous drive, when the engine was hot and EGR was open, some debris got caught in the poppet seat (I assume it's a poppet style solenoid valve?) as the valve was closing when the engine was shut off, so it was allowing just a little vacuum through to open the EGR diaphragm valve a little bit and causing a bad idle... I don't know, maybe a longshot, but it makes sense to me?! I'll know soon enough if my longterm issue is solved.
Just figured I'd throw out my experience in case it helps anyone else...

Memphis, Tenn. • The pregame messages rang out. Stick together. Stand strong. Don't give in. And no matter what happens, don't fall apart.
By the time the Jazz had fought off the Memphis Grizzlies 98-88 on Sunday at the FedExForum, Utah had another message: What did you expect?
Jazz-Grizzlies box score: bit.ly/AtZ2US
Every time the Jazz (14-12) have shown signs of cracking or falling down this season, Utah has risen up. And every time this year's Jazz team has flirted with turning into the disappointment that was the 2010-11 version of Utah basketball, a proud and resilient squad has fired back, answering the call while refusing to splinter and divide.
The Jazz outhustled, outfought and outworked Memphis (14-14) on Sunday. In doing so, Utah captured one of its best and easily its strongest and most meaningful win of 2011-12.
"We needed this one," said forward Gordon Hayward, who scored a game-high 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting and clearly outplayed the Grizzlies' Rudy Gay. "We were on that fringe of not being in the playoffs, so we really need every single game. Especially with a team that's right there next to us."
Al Jefferson added 21 points and a game-high 15 rebounds for the Jazz, who ended a three-game losing streak and began a back-to-back-to-back series in the best way possible.
All three games are on the road and mark the first time since Utah's 1998-99 campaign also abbreviated due to a lockout the team will play three in a row without rest.
Utah's locker room buzzed after the victory, with players saying this is what can happen when the Jazz stick together, attack from the jump ball and never relent.
"Definitely proud of this team. We came out tonight with a chip on our shoulder," said forward Paul Millsap, who contributed 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting and eight boards.
Coach Tyrone Corbin began the Jazz's road journey by bringing his unproven team together. He took Utah to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis on Saturday, wanting to show his team what sacrifice, commitment and togetherness were truly about.
It was a bold move. And it worked.
After the win, Corbin joked Utah might have to hit up the World War II museum in New Orleans before facing the Hornets on Monday, or at least turn the team's morning breakfast into a museum-like tour of their hotel.
But during a postgame interview that saw the second-year coach lifting his head up as high as he has all season, Corbin also knew that his team-building exercise had hit home. The Jazz can compete with anyone in the NBA when they play the right way. And after spending the last two weeks falling backward, losing eight of 12 and dropping into the bottom tier of the Western Conference, Utah leapt over the crossroads it was facing and will now fly to New Orleans with major momentum.
"If we do the right things and we continue to stay together and count on each other, this is the kind of basketball we can play," Corbin said.
Jazz backup point guard Earl Watson's pregame message to Hayward: "Let it fly."
G-Man did just that. So did his team, which shot 50.6 percent (42-for-83) from the field, dished out 26 assists and outscored Memphis 54-40 in the paint.
Gay's 22 points topped Memphis, which committed 19 turnovers and was held to 22 points or fewer in three of four quarters.
The Grizzlies small forward saw in Utah everything Memphis was not: aggressive, fearless and united. And in Hayward, Gay caught a star on the rise.
"He got out there. It seemed like he was the one that was benefiting off all our mistakes," Gay said. "If there is a hustle play, he goes out there every night. He's tough, and a lot of people on [the Grizzlies] can learn from that."
Twitter: @tribjazz
R In short • The Jazz begin their back-to-back-to-back on a high note by downing Memphis.
Key stat • Utah outscores the Grizzlies 54-40 in the paint.
Key moment • After falling behind by two midway through the third quarter, the Jazz's bench gave Utah a five-point lead.

Bonds Higher
S&P MARKETSCOPE: Bonds rebounded from earlier lows Monday. 10-year yield was at 4.19%, down from 4.23% morning high in thin trading. One broker says there's a rumor of a large hedge fund buyer in 10-years. But the front-end has lead way up from the lows, continuing the curve steepening. There was some positioning before tomorrow's FOMC meeting. One rumor says the Fed might pause after tomorrow' expected 25 basis point hike. But Stone & McCarthy's John Canavan says " there has been no inkling of any change in the Fed's near-term outlook to suggest anything different. Even if one were to look for a pause amid the slowing economy, there is no reason to think they'd want to surprise the market with it tomorrow."

The supposed comfort seats were a huge step back from the E60, so disappointed in fellow festers telling people how good the seats are on the new F10.
No disrespect intended, but calling the 550xi the WORST CAR EVER is about the most direspectful statement one can make in an F10 forum.

I for one really enjoyed my 550xi and as a guy who actually drives BMWs the way they are meant to be driven, the 550xi is a very capable car. Yes it lacks the level of crude NVH characteristics traditionally associated with the term sportiness, but that's a good thing. I've run against the E60 M5 at the track and in the twisties and the F10 is a very capable car.

» Behavior & Training
my dog has started barking and lunging at people during our walks.
He does not do it when my boyfriend walks him, just me and my mom. He also doesn't lunge at EVERYONE, so I can never really know when he is going to do it. He even let my older neighbor get close to him and pet his head. THEN he went bananas. its completely unpredictable. As soon as the person walks away he is back to being happy and loveable. we have never had aggression issues before. I'm the only person in my building with a dog. if he doesn't straighten up my landlord is going to put us out!

I would consult with a behaviorist. It sounds like he's being "Reactive". You need to figure out what his "trigger" is. Good Luck!

If your housing is at risk I wouldn't walk him in the neighborhood. Drive somewhere else to walk. Walk him on a very short 4 foot leash and get a good harness or gentle leader. I like the harnesses that hook on the side. For potty breaks make sure u use the short leash and harness or gentle leader and try to get away from the building.

He's clearly in a "Protective" mode with you ladies and not with the Male. I suppose you could change his behavior, but, do you really want to suppress that instinct ?
Careful what you ask for.
SNEAKERS answered on 2/11/14. Helpful? / 0
Since he doesn't do this when a man walks him, it is a reaction to insecurity. Question is always, is it you or himself he's concerned about. In either case, when your BF walks Leo, Leo is NOT in charge.
I agree you need to see a trainer. Leo needs to know this behavior is not acceptable, you are in charge and he is just as safe with you as he is with your BF.
Mean while keep the leash short, make him sit, do not let him lead.
Most important, keep calm. If you get tense every time people approach, he will coil and be ready to spring. Better to calmly step aside, sit your dog and make him stay.
Use food or toy as distraction or reward.

Short leashes and a new walking area aren't enough to protect the public from your dog. You need to consult a behaviorist right away, but, until you get the situation under control, you also need to muzzle your dog if you're going to bring him in public.
The incidents that you discuss in your question add up to a reasonable expectation that your dog will bite someone because you can't control the behavior of other people, including children, or dogs that you encounter while you are out. The consequences of this could include: your eviction, the seizure and possible euthanasia of your dog, and legal action being brought against you and your mother.
As a person who has been bitten by a dog and knows how painful it is and how much it costs to treat dog bite, I urge you to protect the public, yourself, and your dog, even if it means you have to explain to people that your dog is having some problems right now and you are working to resolve them.
Libby answered on 2/11/14. Helpful? / 1
I agree with Libby. Right now your dog IS a liability and you need to get a handle on this before someone gets hurt and you are dealing with a lawsuit.
Please contact a certified behaviorist for help. Not all trainers are the same and you might end up with much more serious problems. A certified behaviorist has been trained specifically in these types of behavior issues. Your local vet should be able to put you in touch with a reputable behaviorist in your area.

Bangkok (The Nation/ANN) - Thailand's Department of Special Investigation (DSI) yesterday revealed that about 83 per cent of the smuggling of cold medicine with pseudoephedrine happened through Suvarnabhumi Airport, while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering ending imports of the colds medicine after one year.
DSI chief Tharit Pengdit spoke yesterday at a seminar on the matter by the Thai Journalists Association and the Isara Institute Thai Press Development Foundation. He said the DSI investigation found that about 17 per cent of the pseudoephedrine medicine was siphoned off the public health system while the rest 83 per cent was smuggled through Suvarnabhumi Airport as well as the southern border. Hence the authorities must tackle such smuggling channels besides acting against those siphoning off the medicine from hospitals.
He said the smuggling of pseudoephedrine medicine was because many countries did not strictly control it. People carried the medicine as if they were a cosmetic or extracted ginseng, and one bag could carry tens of thousands of tablets.
As for the Public Health Ministry's key information including names of involved officials up to the rank of former minister, Tharit said DSI suspected they might be involved in the medicine rationing and sending them for narcotics production. Or, they might gain in the form of commission or special returns. He urged those involved in the wrongdoing to give information to DSI as case witness.
Another speaker, FDA narcotics control division chief Prapon Angtrakul, said the Public Health Ministry and his office had discussed with related field doctors and initially agreed that pseudoephedrine medicine was no longer needed in Thailand. Hence, the FDA would allow the current stocks of the medicine to be distributed for one year, while the rest would be destroyed. He added that it wouldn't be imported in future. Phenylephrine medicine, which was more complicated and could cause an explosion if turned into narcotics, would be used instead, he added.
Prapon said two countries exported pseudoephedrine medicine. About 85 per cent of the medicine was smuggled into Thailand from one country while about 3 million to 4 million tablets were smuggled in from a country that has a border with Thailand.
The Thai FDA had already contacted the two countries' FDA offices because some Thai companies had ordered the medicine from suppliers there, he added.
The proposal to list pseudoephedrine medicine on the Psychotropic Substance Schedule 2 (only hospitals can purchase directly from FDA) would be signed by Public Health Minister Wittaya Buranasiri tomorrow for announcement in the Royal Gazette, he added.
An adviser to the Public Health Minister, Pasit Sakdanarong, said that the ministry's initial probe found that there was nothing wrong with the public health system but the people who operated the system did wrong. Revealing that there were attempts to tamper with the case by discrediting witnesses, he said the probe would continue and punish those involved according to evidence and facts.
Meanwhile, Pol Maj-General Kanitsorn Noinart, commander of Kalasin provincial police, urged police at all 43 precincts to work with the DSI in investigating the missing 350,000 tablets of pseudoephedrine medicine from Kamalapisai Hospital.
A pharmacist at Chiang Mai Nakhonping Hospital and owner of Om Muag Pharmacy, Methee Pol-ard, from whose pharmacy 6,539 bottles of pseudoephedrine medicine had been seized earlier, told a press conference yesterday that he wasn't involved in drug trafficking. Saying he did not break the law by selling the drug, he said that after the ban on over-the-counter sale of pseudoephedrine medicine, he had kept his stocks in storage until the suppliers took it back. He said he had bought the colds medicine in a bulk quantities after hearing the prices would increase. He called for justice as the news affected his professional reputation.
Meanwhile, Chiang Mai's San Khamphaeng police revealed that emptied medicine packs, found on March 28 in a wooded area, contained 1.7 million tablets. They submitted the emptied packs to FDA to check the lot numbers to trace them.

Have you got a part number on the blender. Most blenders are for blending clear coat. If your using chroma base stepping out your colour shouldn't be difficult. Blending the clear is where some people have issue
For best results prep the entire panel, if your doing the quarter, prep the entire quarter including 3/4 of the way up the sail panel (I use 1000 grit or even finer especially on my clear blend area in this case the sail panel). Get coverage on your repair area allowing for proper flash times. Once you have achieved hiding gently move your colour out in all directions of the repaired area (don't worry about coverage as transparency will give you the illusion of perfect colour match). Clear the entire quarter, blending your clear on the sail panel (this is where I use blender, which is basically a slow slow reducer). With practice you can get away without polishing your blend. Some people add blender to the clear coat only in your blend area, in your case the sail panel, some people use a 2 gun method, one gun with catalysed clear the other with straight blender, apply a coat of clear on the blend area followed with a mist coat of blender until your repair is invisible. Check your tech sheet to see what is recommended by the manufacturer for using the blender in your clear coat.
Hope this helps

When you're looking to sell your home, you suddenly become much more interested in its value. What you really need to know is how much similar homes in your area are selling for. The same information is also useful if you are in the market to buy a home. Because real estate sales are a matter of public record, home sale prices are easy to find.
Visit a residential real estate website such as Zillow.com and Homes.com.
Navigate to the "homes sold" page.
Type the street address of the home you're looking for into the query box.
Find the selling price. You might also see property details such as number of bedrooms, lot size and square footage.
Contact Realtors
Find out which realtor closed the sale.
Phone or email the realtor to get the price.
Look at the price in a print or online source to confirm the realtor's information. Double-checking for the sake of accuracy is good practice.

It was only at the end of a marathon 3½-hour meeting of the culture, media and sport select committee that we got the most damning new revelation about News International's behaviour over phone hacking.
Tom Crone, the company's former legal manager, having already faced a barrage of accusatory questions from Tom Watson, finally answered one in the positive.
Yes, he had seen "one thing or two" about the private lives of lawyers acting for people claiming damages from NI after being hacked. And yes, that material had been collated by a freelance journalist being employed by NI itself. Read more

5 Recommendations
random's recommendation
No wires. Which means no more saying the F* word when your iPod cord gets tangled on the treadmill at the Gym.
Alyson's recommendation
Every time I run, three unfortunate things happen: 1-I become entangled and strangled in my headphones when trying to remove or put on a layer. 2-I spaz out and hit my headphones' plug, thus pausing my iPod and having to extract it from its case to get it all set up again. 3-I realize I'm slow. iMuffs can fix the first two. They might make my mood good enough that the third won't matter. I'd love to use these at my desk, too... rather than getting yo-yoed back to my laptop around every time I get up. "Plugged in" shouldn't mean "tethered to!"

Snappy's recommendation
I love: 1) Not having to untangle my ear buds every time I take them out to use them. 2) Not getting jerked back by my ears when I turn around to get something at my desk. 3) Not missing a phone call because my music is blaring.
John_and_Rose's recommendation
The adapter connects directly to the dock connector on either the iPod nano or video and the headphones fit nicely on the back of your head. Stream music directly to your headphones and forget about cord mishaps. The intergrated controls on the headphones allow you to pause, skip, replay the tunes on your iPod.
My Collections:
Yournewbestfriend's recommendation
The adapter that comes with these iMuffs connect to your iPod (via the dock). Then, wirelessly stream music from your iPod into your head without cord mixups, cord yanks, etc. Built in iPod controls make it easy to use, as well! Who knew muffs could be so cool?

Breaking Free
Stay tuned! Classes will resume soon Wednesdays, 6-8 PM, A-206. Childcare available.
Through the 11 weeks of Breaking Free, Beth Moore looks at the Book of Isaiah through the lives of the kings who ruled during the prophet's ministry. These kings exemplify many of the obstacles to freedom with which we must deal. Using Scripture to help identify spiritual strongholds in your life, no matter how big or small, Beth explains that anything that hinders us from the benefits of knowing God is bondage. God intends for you to know and believe Him, glorify Him, experience His peace, and enjoy His presence.

E-books started out as something only the wealthy could afford. From afar the rest of us wondered what they were capable of, and what it felt like to use one. Many people were, and are unable to bring themselves to let go of tangible books, but thankfully, because they are now more widely available we have a choice. They are no longer strange contraptions that tried to replicate a book on some levels, but differentiate themselves on others.
What made me a believer, and an e-book owner, was the following. Having worn glasses for the last fifteen years, I am all too familiar with the text in regular books becoming smaller and smaller. I can change the size of the text in my e-book as I please. No need to search for books with large fonts, or miss out on those that are not.
It also has a backlight, so when I want to continue reading but my spouse needs to settle in for the night I can. This has proven to be exceptionally helpful. It has made the difference between me taking months to finish a great book to completing it in the same month I start it.
Mostly, I enjoy being able to listen to books, with the text to speech function. On long journeys, I get motion sickness if I read. Now, I can be read to the whole way. Stupendous invention, and I still spend time with my tangible books too. Best of both worlds is how I see it.

Pizza Chain Stirring Controversy with New Pizza Name
COACHELLA, Calif. - A Texas-based pizza chain is generating a lot of buzz over the naming of its new pizza. The name "La Chin*&$@," a profanity in Spanish, can either mean something really good or something really offensive.
The pizza chain "El Patron" has a location on Grapefruit Boulevard in Coachella. Franchise owner, Juan Romero says the company didn't mean any offense, but the name is still getting mixed reaction.
"I don't know, it sounds bomb, I want to go over there and get some!" said Coachella resident Adrian Rivas, "Nah, la chin*$^#, no I don't think its offensive," he added.
"La chin*$&#? Yeah, for some people it is. Could be a little more disrespectful, just for the name that it has," said Poly Dueñas from Coachella.
The pizza comes with jalapeño infused pepperoni, plus more diced jalapeño on top, meant to challenge the customer, if they can handle the pizza's heat.
"You really have to be able to tolerate spicy food. Mexicans, when somebody does something awesome you call him "chin*$&%." So, we figured we could name this pizza "La Chin*$&%", and if you're man enough to take the spice you can say I conquered "La Chin*$&#."
According to the company in Texas, some franchise owners are refusing to offer the pizza on its menus because of the name, Romero said he doesn't plan to do that.
A lot of our core customers are Mexicans, and this is something for them. They can hopefully relate to with the name and hopefully they can enjoy pizza and they won't find it offensive.
Whether the pizza is deserving of its name, you'll have to be the judge of that, it won't be offered until March 31st.

Volleyball Adds Four
College Volleyball
Rider Adds Four
LAWRENCEVILLE—Rider University volleyball coach Christopher Feliciano has announced the addition of McKayla Huntley (Lake Stevens, Washington), Sarah Lindley (Springfield, Oregon), Samantha Streibick (Middletown, Ohio) and Alaina Piszczek (Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania) as members of the class of 2017.
"My staff and I are very excited about the 2013 recruiting class," Feliciano said. "In one class we have added competitive depth, tremendous talent and athletes who come from a winning tradition and understand what it takes to win and the work ethic to make it possible. I believe that we identified some of our short comings and have added some really good student-athletes to address those needs."
A 6-2 middle blocker and scholar athlete from Lake Stevens High School, Huntley was a four-year letterwinner for the Vikings, earning First Team All-Area and First Team All-Conference honors as a senior team captain.
"McKayla is a diamond in the rough type of player," said Feliciano. "She is very aggressive in transitions and makes herself available throughout a long rally and she will also help in blocking which was a priority in our recruiting. She is a natural swing blocker that many times will have her head and shoulders over the net. I expect her to compete for playing time right away."
Huntley also lettered in track and field, competing in the high jump and is planning on majoring in Elementary Education/English at Rider.
A 5-2 libero/defensive specialist, Lindley was a four-year letterwinner at Thurston High School where she was a three-time defensive Most Valuable Player and two-time All-League honoree for the Colts.
"Sara is a welcome addition at the libero position," Feliciano said. "She is fiery and determined to make those around her better. Mechanically she was hands down one of the better passers that I saw on the recruiting trail this year."
A member of the National Honor Society and class Salutatorian after four years on the academic honor roll, Lindley is planning to major in Biology with a career goal of medical school and becoming a surgeon.
A 6-0 middle blocker (right side), Streibick comes to Lawrenceville from Monroe High School where she was a four-year letterwinner and team captain, earning First Team All-League SWBL, First Team All-District and SWBL Player of the Year honors as the Middies went undefeated (22-0) and were the SWBL champions.
"Samantha brings a dimension to the right side position for us that we have been working to improve the past couple of seasons," said Feliciano. "She can move from both the middle and right side and has the ability to score both offensively and defensively. She also led her team to a district championship this past year so she knows what to except when the pressure is on. She will have a great opportunity to learn from our current right side hitters as she makes the transition from club to Division I volleyball.
A member of the National Honor Society, Honor Roll and Principal's List, Streibick was also a Jesse Mayabb Scholar Athlete Award winner and was recognized with the Anthony Munoz Leadership Award.
Streibick is planning on majoring in Psychology.
A 5-5 libero/defensive specialist, Piszczek comes to Rider from Berks Catholic High School where she lettered twice for the Saints, earning Berks County All-Team and All-District III honors.
"I believe that we were very fortunate to land Alaina," Feliciano said. "She comes from the top East Coast volleyball club (Synergy) where she has competed for multiple national championships at the open level for USA Volleyball. With only having one returning defensive specialist on the roster, we needed to bolster this position and we did. Alaina has phenomenal touch and a nose for the ball. She is great setting the ball when out of system and she has a winning background. She definitely brings that libero presence in the serve receive and defensively where opposing teams will keep the ball away from her."
Piszczek also lettered twice for Holy Name High School and set the school service ace record as a sophomore.
Earning Second academic honors, Piszczek is planning on majoring in Management and Leadership in the fall.
Huntley, Lindley, Streibick and Piszczek join middle blocker Kaitlyn Griffin (Hickory High School in Chesapeake, Virginia) and outside hitter Ryan Ackermann (Stone Bridge High School in Virginia) who announced their intention to attend Rider this past fall.
Coming off its most wins in nearly a decade, Rider returns 12 letterwinners for the fall, 2013 season under Feliciano who begins his third season as head coach of the Broncs.
"With an outstanding 12 returning players and a phenomenal recruiting class, we have all the tools to continue the rebuilding process and focus on being more competitive within the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference," Feliciano added.

SOA Software Inc. has acquired a mainframe Web services development and deployment platform from Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. that it will add to its portfolio of Web services infrastructure software, SOA Software plans to announce on Monday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Merrill Lynch began building its X4ML platform in 2001 to expose its legacy CICS (Customer Information Control System) applications as integration-ready Web services. The New York financial services company now runs 600 Web services processing 1.5 million [m] transactions per day on the system. The platform enables mainframe applications to both expose and consume Web services, making it easier to integrate them with modern applications in an SOA (services oriented architecture).
SOA Software, with headquarters in Santa Monica, California, intends to sell X4ML as a stand-alone product called SOLA (Service Oriented Legacy Architecture). X4ML's development team has joined SOA Software, bringing along their expertise in CICS and z/OS programming. SOLA will be available next year, with pricing starting at US$125,000.
SOA Software changed its name earlier this year from Digital Evolution to indicate its focus on enabling SOA, a methodology for connecting software components through standards-based Web services in order to ease IT integration. The privately held company is backed by around $30 million [m] in venture capital and partners with other middleware vendors including IBM Corp., CA Inc., Oracle Corp. and BEA Systems Inc.

There is a leaked Army Document on a site I am not able to link to this site. This document outline plans for re-education camps in America. Civilians to be quartered temporarily or for extended periods of time.
Are we evolving in to a dictatorship? I'm not advocating a civil war. I am hoping that at least some of our elected officials still have the power and guts to overrule the attempted changes that take us from Constitutional Republic to oppressive dictatorship.
Wake up people! These camps have already been built! Our forefathers are rolling over in their graves.
We have another congressman suggesting impeachment and maybe that is a viable solution.
If someone already covered these articles I apologize. I would love to hear constructive input on this subject.
Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese philosopher and general, said that when the Art of War is brought to its highest pinnacle, the enemy will be conquered without the opposing armies ever having met in the field. By skillfully using the art of deception, and skillful use of agents to infiltrate the enemys government, the enemy may be conquered without the enemy ever knowing that it had been conquered.

Bluetooth eCigarette Takes Calls And Plays Music
Design improvements for vapor devices are being influenced by current tech trends.
The Supersmoker Bluetooth is a new type of e-cigarette that lets users make a phone call or listen to music while enjoying its vapor. If you haven't guessed from its name, this device is powered by Bluetooth, allowing it to be paired with any smartphone or tablet.
Users can answer calls by simply tapping the middle button on the device, which will turn on the built-in microphone and speaker. The two other buttons on the device control music functions, and are compatible with digital players like Youtube and Spotify.
The only thing users need to keep in mind is that the e-cigarette does not include a headphone jack, so people in proximity will be able to listen in on a conversation. But other than that, the Supersmoker Bluetooth could be a useful device if you are enjoying some time alone.
You can purchase the device for about $110. There are five colors to choose from, and if you decide to acquire one for personal use, the company also lets you choose an introductory flavor such as tobacco, menthol, chocolate, strawberry, apple or coffee.
Take a look at the company's informercial for the product below.

Windows XP: Going Off the Market?
With Windows Vista's popularity still on the low side, Microsoft is trying anything they can think of to boost their new operating system's sales. Unfortunately, they have found one method that most of us will have a hard time accepting. On June 30, 2008, Microsoft will basically "kill off" their famous operating system of Windows XP, taking it off the market all together.
This fate was expected, since XP was originally released in 2001, but with the push of Vista, the loss will be even harder on Windows users. Windows XP users can still continue to run the operating system for as long as they want, but product support from Microsoft will end on April 14, 2009. That's also when it will become even harder to buy the XP operating system.
So, why would Microsoft remove Windows XP from the market? Well, like most software corporations, Microsoft is out to make a profit, while also providing the newest and most up to date software to their customers. Since Vista is their latest version of Windows, they are trying to make it the most popular operating system on the market. Therefore, they are removing the older versions of Windows from the market to make more room for Vista.
Also, larger enterprises have been slow in transitioning their computer systems from Windows XP to Windows Vista. Microsoft hopes that by removing Windows XP, those larger organizations will finally make the move over to Vista.
For those of you who are looking at buying a new computer and want Windows XP installed on it, you'll want to grab a copy before June 2008. Just giving you a heads up!

General Question
How would Bradley Manning say he did it but he is not "guilty"?
Asked by flo (10034) December 3rd, 2012
I brought up Bradley Manning's case just an example.
Isn't there a word that matches "Yes I did it", and "No, I didn't do it" instead of "guitly" and "not guilty" plea?
What I mean is, if he wants to send the world, right from the get go, "I regret what I did, it was morally reprehensible thing to do" message, the "guilty" plea would be fine. But if he is claming what he did is a principled, the right thing to do, then his "not guitly" could end up sounding like "it is not me who did it I was framed" or something similar.

ROISM: Measuring Return on Investment for Social Media
Marketers are facing increased pressure to demonstrate how marketing expenditures add to shareholder value, especially with the advent of digital media. This session will provide a framework for assessing marketing productivity along with methods and models for measuring return on marketing investment with a special emphasis on social media. These models relate marketing expenditures and other drivers to effects on performance measures like sales and market share.
This class will draw on analytic marketing techniques to demonstrate approaches for setting optimal marketing budgets and allocating marketing resources. Datasets for sales, trade promotion, media spending, and other drivers will be employed in the estimation of regression-based statistical models to demonstrate these methods.

Strawberry Letter- Best Friends and Boundaries
Good Morning! My issue concerns my boyfriend and female friendships. I'm not anti-female friendships; however I have had many bad experiences in my past were guys have crossed boundaries in this area. My boyfriend hasn't crossed any boundaries but there are some things I am concerned about. Since he transferred to an out of state school he has made a girl best friend. There is nothing wrong with that but since we are long distance when school is in sometimes I feel that he would allow her to fill the void during my absence. Now he's getting an apartment and he needs a trust worthy roommate and his parents suggested her. I was more than upset. For one, his parents disapprove of us spending the night together because we aren't married but she has been suggested to room with him??? Next, that opens room for temptation. After a huge argument he dropped the whole idea. However I still feel uneasy and even more untrusting. I don't want to end up in a situation like my past ones but I don't want to ruin our relationship due me worrying about the past repeating itself. Please help!
