Google Inc admitted for the first time its "Street View" cars around the world accidentally collected more personal data than previously disclosed -- including complete emails and passwords -- potentially breathing new life into probes in various countries. The disclosure comes just days after Canada's privacy watchdog said Google had collected complete emails and accused Google of violating the rights of thousands of Canadians. "If in fact laws were broken...then there's some serious question of culpability and Google may need to face significant fines," said Marc Rotenberg, the executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington DC-based privacy advocacy group.
Regulators in France, Germany and Spain, among others, have opened investigations into the matter. A coalition of more than 30 state attorneys general in the United States also have launched a joint probe. It remains unclear how many people may have been affected by the privacy breach.

The Army's Criminal Investigation Command and the FBI report a significant rise in gang related activities in the armed forces. In 2007, 7.9% of recruits received moral waivers due to prior criminal records while in 2003 only 4.6 received such waivers. The FBI has identified gangs operating at many posts.There are 40 members of the Folk Nation gang at Ft. Bliss while the Gangster Disciples have a large contingent at Ft. Hood. These gangs are involved in robberies, assaults drugs, and other illegal activities.A spokesperson for the CID said: "It's a low threat, but it's a serious problem."
President Bush continues emphasizing we must fight over there to prevent violence over here. It appears due to the nature of a volunteer army stretched thin, the armed forces are now witnessing the presence of violent men and women who bring their gang activities along with them.

Wahl makes the best hair clippers. I've used a sturdy little Wahl Peanut as a beard trimmer for a couple of years. I even cut my hair with it when I'm drunk, which conveniently happens at least once every six weeks.
But Wahl also sells a cordless version that seems to get high marks. The Wahl Rechargeable Hair Clipper even has a rotating head on a ninety-degree handle so it's easier to trim both sides of your hair evenly. Or you could just do what I do: embrace having a horrible haircut.
The Wahl Rechargeable is available in lots of places for a wide range of prices, but it looks like $30 at Amazon is a pretty decent deal.

This particular design has a silicone lid that securely attaches to the cup. The outside is matte and the inside is glazed. I prefer a version that Starbucks put out a few months ago. Their version is pretty much the same, but the outside is glazed (and of course has their logo) and the lid is plastic with a silicone liner to keep liquids sealed in. The key difference between the two is the price. "I Am Not A Paper Cup" is roughly $20 and the Starbucks version is $12. The upsides to either is that if you are a daily coffee drinker, you don't have to trash a paper cup and plastic lid every time you get take-out coffee. The downside is that both of them hold about 8 oz. - not favorable if you normally order a "grande" at Starbucks. Another issue for commuters is that it is not spill-proof or splash-proof. And finally, the Starbucks version CANNOT go into the microwave.Tags: home, gifts, tea, humor, food, kitchen, environment, cooking, accessoriesAdded 8 Years Ago from Chiasso

Reed, White talk taxes
State Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said Tuesday that neither the approximately $1 billion generated annually in state gaming revenue nor the $500 million that might be raised annually through a severance tax on nonconventional (Marcellus) gas wells would be enough to replace the $14 billion local share paid annually to help fund the state's public school districts.
Speaking at the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce's Eggs & Issues breakfast at the Indiana Country Club, Reed said the state's sales tax and the personal income tax are the only two sources of revenue big enough to significantly reduce school property taxes in Indiana County and the rest of the state.
Reed said legislation he recently introduced would increase the state's sales tax by 1 percent and boost the personal income tax from 3.07 to 3.7 percent. Those combined increases would generate an additional $4 billion and lead to an immediate 40 percent reduction in the real estate tax for the average property owner in Indiana County, he said.
Responding to questions submitted by some of the more than 100 guests at the breakfast, Reed and state Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, both agreed the state's $50 billion unfunded liability in the public employees pension fund is driving the state budget deficit.
"We have a $50 billion hole and no one wants to confront it," White said, adding that every time more money is directed to the pension deficit, it takes state dollars away from some other important issue that needs attention..
"Any agency that receives money from the state should be concerned" about the pension fund deficit, White said.
White introduced legislation, which has passed the Senate, that would require all state elected officials to convert their state pension plans to a defined contribution plan when they are elected or re-elected as a step to getting the pension deficit under control.
Reed proposed that what is needed is a hybrid — a base pension for the public employees supplemented by a 401(k)-style program. He cautioned against simply pulling the plug on the current pension funding plan. The state, he said, is now getting a 7.5 percent rate of return on its money invested to fund the pension. If an arbitrary end date was placed on the current pension system, the rate of return would drop substantially and actually cost the state about $30 billion more, he said.
Reed is seeking his seventh term in the 62nd District in November. He is being challenged by Democrat J. Kevin Freeberg, an Indiana Area Junior High School teacher.
Reed and White were also asked for an update on efforts to privatize the state's liquor store system.
"It's one of those issues when you move one thing, 15 others fall out of place," Reed said.
When it comes to a possible restructuring of the state's monopoly on liquor sales, Reed said most consumers have "an expectation of convenience" — they want to be able to go to their neighborhood grocery store and buy beer or a bottle of wine.
"It's a matter of convenience," White agreed, adding he'd like to see smaller stores in rural areas be able to sell beer and wine and compete better with large grocery chains.
In response to a question on education funding, White said a continuing emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education is critical.
The Marcellus natural gas drilling industry will continue to create more jobs and that industry "needs qualified, skilled workers," White said. "I don't want to push this industry out of here," and he said he wants local residents to be qualified to fill new Marcellus-related positions.
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg, discussed some national and international issues during the breakfast program.
Passage of the Farm Bill and the VA Reform Bill were two of Congress' recent significant accomplishments, he said. Next year, he said, Congress must continue its search for funding for long-term transportation system repairs and improvements.
Shuster said the state's Department of Environmental Protection has done "a very good job" safeguarding Pennsylvania's environment, and he has resisted efforts by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers to gain more authority over coal mining and more control over bodies of water that are not navigable.
On the topic of immigration, Shuster said, "We've got to secure the border first."
He said there are an estimated 14 million to 16 million foreigners illegally in the U.S. and thousands of unescorted children are arriving at America's southern border because President Obama has been "nodding and winking" and hinting there will be amnesty for them if they enter illegally.
Some of the trouble spots in the world have grown more serious, Shuster said, because of a lack of leadership on the part of president. And an area that has received little attention or news coverage, he said, is Southeast Asia, where China has been "pushing out" farther into what is generally recognized as international waters and claiming more of the sea as being inside its territorial boundaries.
More also needs to be done to ensure China trades fairly with other countries, he said.
And Shuster opposes a proposal to increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10.
"It would be a negative effect," Shuster said. "The best way to get the wage up is to get the market up."
He said when the minimum wage is increased, many employers find they have to raise all their workers' wages.
Shuster running for an eighth term in the 9th Congressional District. His Democratic opponent is Alanna Hartzok.
White also had praise for the sponsors of Tuesday's breakfast program. He said no chamber of commerce in his senatorial district is more active than the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce. He said he's proud Democrats and Republicans work so well together and with their legislators for improvements in Indiana County. In many cases those people from both political parties are brought together by the chamber, he said.

MONROE, La. – Led by a 34-yard field goal as time expired from Radi Jabour, the offense won the ULM Maroon & Gold spring football game, 21-19, Saturday afternoon in front of an energized crowd inside Malone Stadium. The defensive unit led for the majority of the game, until the offensive squad scored a late touchdown to get within striking distance.
"I am excited about where we are at, but we have a long way to go," head coach Todd Berry said. "I am excited about where we are at in relation to where I thought we would be. We just have to keep working and I know this group will do that."
The defense attacked early with a variety of blitzes, as they went ahead by double-digits on the heels of seven sacks and an interception returned for a touchdown by Ken Dorsey. The defense also recorded five plays for lost yardage and forced the offense into a three-and-out series.
In four 15-minute running clock quarters, the offensive team started slow before putting together two explosive plays (20-plus yards) in the second half and three total in the game. The offense's lone touchdown was a pass-and-catch play for 26-yards down the left sideline from Kolton Browning to Isaiah Newsome.
At halftime of the game Berry presented four annual awards handed out by the ULM football program.
Defensive end Aaron Morgan was received the President's Award for the highest achieving student-athlete who sees playing time on the field.
Mitch Doyle was presented with the Al Miller Award for his dedication to strength and conditioning. Al Miller, a former strength and conditioning coach at ULM, is a member of the ULM Sports Hall of Fame as a wide receiver.
James Truxillo was the recipient of the John David Crow Academic Award given to the highest achieving student-athlete. Crow is a former ULM head football coach and athletic director and a ULM Hall of Fame member.
Josh Thomas was the recipient of the Chip Luffey Award presented annually to a senior student-athlete who exemplifies sportsmanship, leadership, and good character. It was established in 1981 in memory of Chip Luffey, a former ULM student.
*** Todd Berry post-spring game comments:
Comments on Quarterback battle:
"Yeah, that has kind of what happened this spring, they have all (quarterbacks) had their moments. We obviously have to get that bad out of them and competition is a wonderful thing. I think that shows and you guys saw today, there is some good competition there. You could throw them in a sack and pick one out and you would be O.K. In the same sense there are some things we have to get corrected."
Comments on offensive players understanding new coaches and system:
This is pretty much a quarterback driven offense and it puts a tremendous amount of pressure on those guys intellectually in what we are asking the quarterback to do, in relation to what they have done in the past. I have coached quarterbacks in the past and I know this group will come around. They have made huge strides mentally and we have to continue to close that gap mentally, because most of our mistakes are not physical, they are mental. We will continue to close that gap, as we have done already in relation to where we started and where we are at now.
Comments on players understanding new terminology:
There are a lot of different ways you can go into spring practice. We wanted our players to get their arms around everything we had a chance to do. Right now if we had to go out and play a game we could functionally play a game. The other avenue you could take as a head coach is to come in here and say we are going to get good at some basic stuff and then we will learn all this in preseason camp. I have had good experiences with throwing it all out there and letting the players see the broad paint stroke and then refining your identity. I think we are much more comfortable now then a few weeks ago. There is a lot that we do and we want our players to be intellectually stimulated in what we do and they need to get fascinated with all the little things of this game. I was really pleased in the last couple of weeks with not just their approach to practice, but there fascination with the game and trying to learn the game. I have a great coaching staff and they are great teachers and we need to use that to our advantage.
Comments on where he wants his team to be:
I think a lot of it has to do with the execution. One of the things about spring practice is that it is all about evaluation and identifying who the players are and what they can do and can't do. You have to mix and match the players so that they are going up against different people and working with different people. We got done as a staff what needed to get done, in terms of evaluating guys in different groups and with different people. We feel like we have a pure evaluation of each player on this team.
Comments on defense's performance:
When everybody is out there I think this defense will be very good. It is a fast defense and they are comfortable within the scheme. I think some of it had to do with the scoring format and the way this thing played out and sometimes if you are not changing field positions it gets difficult. The first offense didn't change field position and the second offense didn't score and all of sudden you are back on the 2-yard line. That is what happens in ball games, but in the same sense it is difficult for the offense to get going because they had to play a conservative style based on the scoring system. They couldn't be aggressive in relation to a three-and-out to give up points. It is a function of the game and I think it is a function of our defense has performed well. I think a little bit of it is because our defense does a lot of different things. I think the offensive kids settled down as the game went along because they started figuring out what the defense was doing today and that made it easier to figure out what the defense's plan was. That is hard on both sides of the football because you aren't sure what you are going to see.

Gillibrand Meets With Latino Clergy in the Bronx
New York, NY —
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand continues her New York City tour with constituents as she visits a group of Hispanic clergy Saturday in the Bronx. WNYC's Elaine Rivera reports.
REPORTER: Gillibrand will be one of several elected officials to address the Hispanic Clergy Organization at their banquet in the Bronxdale section of the Bronx. A spokesman for the new senator says it's part of a number of stops she's been making to understand the issues facing the diverse number of groups in the city. Gillibrand had been the congresswoman from a conservative district in upstate New York. And she was strongly criticized by Latinos and other immigrants groups when she was selected to replace Hillary Clinton in January. Gillibrand had been opposed to amnesty for undocumented immigrants, supported English as the official language and favored building a fence on the Mexican border. She has since softened on some of her positions. Gillibrand will continue touring the city next week, including stops in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
For WNYC, I'm Elaine Rivera.

Would it be ok to just chop off the lighter plug adapter for my laptop car adapter and wire it directly to the power going into my headunit? I'm not the most electronically inclined and wasn't sure if the headunit+laptop be would be too much on that particular line. The laptop draws 3.6A @ 16v. Are there better options? I'm trying to avoid running a line directly from the battery if at all possible and would like to have power going to the laptop only when the car is running or when the key is turned. I chose the headunit power line just because I know where it is and would have easy access to to it. Any help would be appreciated...
No announcement yet.
Power laptop from headunit?
new posts
When you say the laptop takes 16V @ 3.6 amps, you're talking about the utput of the charger right? You are going to have some sort of regulation in between the laptop and the lighter plug right? Like a 12V-ish -> 16V regulated charger, right?
If you don't have any regulation, between the laptop and the car's electrics, you are going to be in the market for a new laptop very soon. This is of course, unless the laptop has built in regulation, but I seriously doubt it.2000 Subaru OBS

I think you guys are confused, isn't the cigarette lighter adaptor thing (which he mentioned that he was using) already doing the 12V -> 16V conversion? Otherwise what is the point of the adaptor...
What joshthepilot meant was to find out where the actual adapting takes place on this device, is it in the part that actually plugs into the cigarette lighter (the head)? Because if so then you would essentially be cutting off the adaptor and having a straight wire to your laptop. You have to make sure there is some type of "box" on the line that is doing the actual 12V -> 16V conversion and regulation.
Anyway, I don't like the idea of tying it in to the headunit's power line. Depending on the headunit's power consumption you might overload that line. But you can try it if you want, I think it'll just blow a fuse if you draw too much current.
Usually the laptop is expecting a very nice clean 16V or whatever the voltage coming out of the adapter that comes with it is (mine is 19V). If he were to get rid of that adapter (which I thought he was saying) his laptop would be trying to adapt 13.x volts to 12v and 5 volts, and maybe the 3.3v. The circuitry in there would not be getting the 16v that it needs.
If it is a simple passive filter (say a binch of resistors and some caps) to just filter out any of the noise from the stock adapter, his laptop wouldn't be getting a full 12v/5v after the filtering. It might burn out something simply because it doesn't have the voltage required. This would mean more amperage requirements, and possible smoke leakage.
The same goes for if it has some sort of active filtering (probably more likely). If it doesn't see the full 16V it wants, it'll pull more amperage, to compensate, and thus leak smoke.
And I agree with BobbyDigital on this. You should probably add a second wire to the battery. Just to be on the safe side.2000 Subaru OBS

I am Zero Bitrate....
Just to clear the air a bit on this subject, when I say I'm cutting the end off of the car adapter I mean just the lighter plug portion so I can hardwire it to the accessory line or headunit voltage or whatever while keeping the power "brick" in the equation, which to my knowledge is doing the job of regulating the power. How well of a job it does is another question...
I went with a 3rd party for the charger just because I've heard that they are generally more reliable (mine's a Kensington), but just a couple days ago it stopped getting power (LED on the brick no longer lit, laptop not charging). This was just while using it plugged into the cigarette lighter but the charger works when plugged in with the AC adapter. So I started troubleshooting a bit and found the problem. On the cigarette lighter adapter end there is a small component between the brick and the lighter plug(see pic, same thing but closer to the lighter plug), which I've cut off and rewired the rest back together. It works now without it but I'm afraid to use the charger in case it was something important. Any ideas?
And no, that's not an actual picture of my actual adapter cord. It was just the first pic I could find with component I am referring to (circled). I've checked inside the lighter plug connector itself and there aren't any components inside, just the physical connections. I've tried to get inside the cylinder thing to find out what's inside but it's made with a thick metal casing covered in plastic sheath. So my question is....does that component that I've removed do any kind of regulation or something else important? Any help would be appreciated.
the component is a ferrite core to abosrb electrical noise. Have you not seen them on the VGA cable for your PC or on some other cables?
It is a noise suppressor and has nothing to do with power regualtion
Originally posted by LordSnowSure I've seen them, just never knew what they were exactly. If that's the case, should I attribute it to poor construction that caused that to fail? Will I be ok without it?
I'm not sure how or why it failed. I had been using it in the car for about a week just to test things out and it worked fine then one day I noticed the laptop wasn't being charged when it should and the power LED on the brick of the charger was not lit. And I'm not talking about heavy use, just the 15 minutes or so to each trip to and from work. Temperatures have been around 60 degrees (F) so that shouldn't be a factor.
loose connection?? maybe voltage difference in car... is the voltage always the same in your car? (each time u used it)AT mobo
Intel Pentium MMX 233mhz
ESS Solo PCI soundcard

Do you mean a loose connection within the ferrite core? Because I've isolated the problem to that single piece and I wouldn't think there's much to move around in there.
What exactly do you mean by voltage changes? I know it's not a constant 12v, that it ranges like most cars but the car charger is rated to take 11.75-16v so I would hope that all of the components of the charger could handle that range.

Jim Wallhead Returns In Style At Ultimate Force With Another KO Win
"Judo" Jim Wallhead increased his professional Mixed Martial Arts record to 16-5-0 on Saturday night at the Doncaster Dome, when he scored a huge Knockout win over the game Brazilian Fabio Toldo at Ultimate Force: Oblivion.
Wallhead entered the cage for the first time in nearly eight months after battling numerous frustrations which saw him go to the UFC 'The Ultimate Fighter' eliminators in Liverpool as an alternate earlier this year before being sent home without fighting despite being tipped to win it all. Wallhead then suffered injury and illness which delayed the start of his 2009 campaign until last week. Nevertheless the Loughborough based 25 year old was keen to show why he has earned the tag as one of the best unsigned UK talents out there with his forth consecutive win.
However things didn't necessarily go to plan early on for the Team Rough House fighter as he showed some ring rust against the relatively unknown but highly skilled Brazilian and it took a flash knock down early in round 1 to wake Wallhead up, as Toldo got the best of the early exchanges with some stiff leg kicks before landing some swift punches and a a sharp punch which sent Wallhead down.
As he touched down on the canvas Wallhead used his experience to get himself out of trouble and soon found himself clinching with the Brazilian by the fence and then sprawled out of two takedown attempts when the action went back to the middle of the cage. Wallhead then slowly started to find his range and eventually landed a stunning right hand shot which wobbled the Brazilian and sent the Englishman on the attack as he was able to chase down Toldo and connected with a huge shot which sent the Brazilian crashing to the canvas midaway through the round. The initial blow would have probably ended the fight before Wallhead pounced with three swooping ground shots to secure the win.
Relief on the face of Wallhead was evident as he celebrated inside the cage with his Rough House team mates, which included UFC star Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy and TUF 9 contestant Andre Winner to name just a few. However despite a slow start Wallhead showed despite his long break he still has what it takes to reach the top of the UK and European scene. As news of his KO win broke, he soon started to attract numerous offers from promoters in the UK and beyond, as Wallhead continues on his quest to break through into the World's elite events.
Other action from this exciting card saw Danny Micthell capture the vacant Ultimate Force European Welterweight Title when he defeated Lee Doski by heel hook in round 1 of their bout. Whilst Jason Ball scored a sensational Knock Out over the Cage Warriors World Lightweight Champion Alexandre Izidro in round 1 of their contest. Whilst local favourites Ian Jones and Wayne "Mayhem" Murrie suffered mixed fortunes in their bouts, as Jones was submitted by the Irishman Tom Maguire whilst Murrie defeated TUF 9 fighter James Bateman. in a highly entertaining match-up. Whilst late replacement Chris Stringer submitted Neil Fraser in round 3 of their Lightweight encounter.

Travel Picks: Top 10 Christmas Markets in Europe
LONDON (Reuters) - Many holiday shoppers order their gifts online to avoid crowds, but there are some unique shopping opportunities around Europe during the holiday season that can be enjoyable for the whole family.
Traditional Christmas Markets, originating in Europe but now popping up all over the globe, provide a celebratory atmosphere and seasonal delicacies to enjoy while shopping for your gifts. To help you determine your next shopping destination, the members and editors of travel website VirtualTourist.com (www.virtualtourist.com) compiled a list of the "Top Ten Christmas Markets."
1. Vienna, Austria
Advent, the period of preparation before Christmas, begins on the Sunday four weeks before Christmas Eve, so Viennese celebrations and decorations often begin in mid-November. Rathausplatz, the square in front of the city hall, is home to Christkindlmarkt, a traditional Christmas market with more than 150 stalls selling gifts, Christmas decorations, gluhwein (mulled wine) and hot chestnuts. Two other popular Christmas venues are the Old Viennese Christmas Market on Freyung, which is more traditional and sells handicrafts, and the Christmas Market in front of Schonbrunn Palace, which offers the imperial backdrop and hosts a New Year's market, staying open until January 1. The market on the Rathausplatz runs from Nov 16 at 5 pm to December 24 - other markets around the city on average run from around Nov 20 - Dec 23.
2. Salzburg, Austria
One of Europe's oldest markets, the Christkindlmarkt in front of the Salzburg cathedral is a more intimate affair than some of the larger city's markets. The town's baroque architecture and looming Hohensalzburg Fortress give it a fairy tale feeling, heightened by the sparkling lights and holiday garlands. As the birthplace of Mozart, Salzburg has an outstanding musical tradition, so there are wonderful choral performances and opportunities to hear some of Europe's best students perform. In fact, the city also has another musical claim to fame: Joseph Mohr, the lyricist behind the famous Christmas carol "Silent Night" was also born in Salzburg.
3. Munich, Germany
While many people associate the Bavarian capital with Oktoberfest, Munich also holds a fantastic Christmas market in the center of the city on the Marienplatz. The market surrounds an enormous Christmas tree, which glitters with almost 2,500 lights. While sipping on gluhwein (mulled warmed wine) or beer, visitors can find many traditional Bavarian gifts, like wood carvings and gingerbread called lebkuchen. There are also smaller themed markets throughout the city - one unique to Munich is the Manger Market, which sells the pieces and important components for those who want to build an authentic manger.
4. Prague, Czech Republic Continued...

I understand the logic of keeping him to see how he comes to camp since your paying him anyway but does anyone trust Carrasco even if he has a tremendous spring, I know I don't. Were not talking about a dominant reliever who had one bad year, this is a guy with a lifetime 4.48 ERA who was out of the majors from 2006-2008.
So to keep a mediocre reliever who would the Mets have to sacrifice;
Frank Francisco, Jon Rauch, Ramon Ramirez, and Tim Byrdak all appear to be locks for the team, I would add Manny Acosta who was solid last year and is out of options.
If the Mets plan to take a second lefty the group to choose from is Robert Carson, Daniel Herrera and Chuck James. James would be the most versatile as a former starter who could serve as the long-man, spot starter and a LOOGY.
That would leave one spot in which Bobby Parnell, Pedro Beato and Carrasco would all be competing to make the team. It could easily come down to both Parnell and Beato having options while Carrasco gets one more in-season chance.
Even if all the lefties flop and Carrasco is an automatic on the roster Parnell and Beato are still competing for the last spot. With all his struggles as a closer and lack of consistent secondary pitches Parnell's ERA was almost half of Carrasco's ( 3.64/ 6.02). With Beato were talking about potential over performance but he still posted a 4.30 ERA after skipping AAA.
Carrasco would not even still be on my roster but if he was he wouldn't be a consideration for the pen, I just don't get it. Going into camp this is what my pen would look like...
Francisco, Rauch, Ramirez, Acosta, Byrdak, Parnell, James with Beato as next up...

About the Book: Casual Vacancy
When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty fa ade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

The first in line thing: I show up early to the movie theatre, purchase my ticket, go where the lines are and there's no one queuing for my movie. Get in line and instantly, some of the people who were milling around (before I got there) get behind me . They better not have thought it wasn't fair because they were there before...
If I feel a need to say anything out loud, I'll usually say, "well, I'll be lead penguin and jump in first to check for predators."

I do hate to be pushy, but when 12 of us are discussing where to go for dinner, once the type of restaurant is decided, like Culver's vs Steak'n'Shake or Olive Garden vs. Texas Steakhouse, I will decide. I could let it go on for another 20 minutes, but Darn it! I'm hungry. I don't really care! Let's just go!
I end up deciding on restaurant choice, menus for catered functions and for locations for travel etc, because I am not scared to make the decision and be wrong. No one else will decide, and I will only wait so long.

No one else will decide, and I will only wait so long.A friend of mine always seems to want to call the shots, and it's getting a bit frustrating, really. I need to call him out on that (Because we are thinking of going on a trip together), and to be honest, it will bug the snot out of me if we spend the whole trip with him constantly picking where we eat, or what we do and when.I'd get rather annoyed in a group setting if there was always one person who seemed to keep calling the shots all the time, deciding where we ate, where we went, and what we did.
There's also the zipper merge. When a lane closure is coming up, many people feel guilty about not getting over right away, but traffic studies show that it's safer and takes less time for everyone if the traffic is split into both lanes until a designated merge point. http://www.dot.state.mn.us/construction/2013/zippermergefactsheet.pdfBut people still feel like a SS if they use all the machines, or if they go past a line of traffic until the merge point. What other things have you seen that you've felt were SS, but upon analysis, were actually best for everyone?
^ My mom does that. She looks aghast at me, wondering where she went wrong. My other non-SS quality is that I will order what I want at a restaurant and really don't care what anyone thinks. We have experienced several meals out with other couples and family where someone will order something cheap, or small, or plain because they want to be perceived as *insert quality here*. Both my mom and youngest sister will order the cheapest thing on the menu, even if it is something they don't like! They pick at the food once it comes and are sad and moody the rest of the meal.What's the point?

Is it legal to shoot dogs in all states? What are the stipulations?
For example, does the dog have to pose a threat, be on your property, be wearing a collar, etc.?

Best Answer
I can't speak for everyone else, but personally, I would like more information about your situation in order to give you not just a general opinion but concrete information.
Generally speaking, the laws applicable to shooting a dog stipulate that the dog must be an immediate threat to either yourself, your family, your animals, or your livestock.
These kinds of laws are in place mainly to allow farmers to protect their livestock (cows, goats, horses, etc.) from predators - including the roaming neighbor dog who may try to kill one or may send them running into the fence, injuring them.
They are not in place so every Tom, Dick, and Harry can shoot his irresponsible neighbor's roaming dog.
If there is NO IMMEDIATE THREAT to you, your pets, family, and livestock, deal with it the proper way - by calling animal control or, if you live in a rural area not covered by AC, the local Sheriff.

Why on EARTH would you want to shoot a dog? If there's a stray dog in your area bothering you then you should call your local shelter/pound and let them pick it up. I don't think it really matters whether or not there are laws against it because if you shot someone's dog and they found out, they could take you to court-and just might take some of your money or have you put in jail for awhile. PLEASE don't be cruel to animals. To me it's almost as bad as child abuse.

Why would you even want to ask this question? Im hoping maybe your asking cause someone might have shot at your dog and not that you want to know your rights about shooting someones dog!If its the first not sure check with your police dept. If its the second why would you even want to shoot a dog. There are plenty of places to call that will pick up a lost, or dog just running loose on your property. Call these people first if thats the problem. Dont want to misjudge you but your question is not clear!!

Oh, I'm so sorry someone tried to shoot your dog! ( I can only assume this is the case; SURELY you are not considering actually shooting a dog.) You should definitely report this to your local law enforcement. More importantly, please try to do what you can to ensure that your dog doesn't wander onto someone else's property. That's probably the best way to keep him/her safe. Good luck!

It is legal to shoot an animal that is threatening you, but do NOT be like that guy who shot a dog that he thought was a Pit Bull, which was in the guy's neighbor's yard and was NOT threatening anybody!!!!!!!!!! Just because an animal growls, it is not a threat!!! Sometimes dogs have good reasons to attack you. Like to protect their master and his family, or if he feels that you are going to harm him. If a dog just strolls up to you, and starts attacking you for no reason at all, THEN you can shoot it. If you don't have a gun with you, roll up into a ball and cover your head with your hands. If you have something that the dog seems to want, throw away from you. You can also hit the dog on the top of the nose with the edge of your hand. Unless he was trained to attack (those dogs don't respond to pain), he will stop for a few seconds in which you can make a quick get-away.

Unless it was YOUR dog that got shot...why would you even ask that question? Especially to a group of avid dog lovers.

The above posters have kicked you in the right direction! Let me 1st say I hope that you have not done this.And I hope that it is not your dog that has been shot.I guess we will know if you repost us the info that it was your dog.If you don't repost then we will probably assume that you were the one doing the shooting. If you have a dog that has been running loose and causing trouble then you reallt should call the local dog control. Just remember that it is not the dogs fault that it's owner is a moron and doesn't properly take care of his/her dog.If you think you want to pull out a gun and shoot something you may want to consider taking it up with the owner of the dog not the poor dog that is after all JUST BEING A DOG!!!!
WOW took alot to bite that tongue and not get a washing on this one!pat myself on my back

It is against the law to shoot a dog. Animal control should called if the dog is posing a threat. Please do not shoot the dog. Try to call the owner. That is someone's baby.

Crowdsourcing Traffic Data App Could Create A Better Bus System
App uses commuter data to reshape public transport routes.
Ototo is an app that has already met with great success in 80 countries across the world, and now wants to try and revolutionize public transport in the US. The app analyzes information provided by riders and then offers it to transportation companies so that they can optimize their services.
From a functionality standpoint, users can log into Ototo from Facebook, connect with friends and other riders to open up communication and share experiences, opinions, and post live updates from any troubled transit area that they encounter. Unlike current apps such as Waze for driving, Ototo doesn't just want to draw on the crowd for information, it also wants to pass that data on to the people who can make changes, such as transport agencies and local governments.
Other features include the Smart Transit Look, which offers Riders journey timing, transit options, stations, stops and other relevant information. Ototo's Real-Time Navigation System can also guide users step-by-step so that they know their exact location, at all times, on an easy-to-use map. Smart Fuel Saver can also help riders work out how much they save by using public transport instead of private vehicles.
The potential to influence transportation companies and shape the face of public transport within your own area is without a doubt the most powerful feature of the app. Whether or not it can actually affect change is another issue, but for the time being it's a big idea that could go a long way towards building better cities.

My 2-year-old son was very active and playful, and even giving him a bathe twice a day still I can smell his sweat like a pee. Is it normal?
I am guessing that because he is growing up and uses a baby milk bath on his body I should change his body wash. Could the baby wash causing this smelly sweat? Any comment is very much appreciated.

Contentious Zionism
Jewish Lights Publishing, February 22, 2006
Cohen describes his experience, during his college years, of encouraging "contentious Zionism." He argues that this policy is also instructive today when, to our detriment, no significant Jewish communal or educational agency promotes pro-Israel contention and controversy -- either on the campus or in the "real" Jewish community. He states that we cannot ignore the sorry fact that Israel is no longer a source of Jewish mobilization for most Jewish young people. Insofar as we fail to invite American Jews into the rich and compelling debates in which Israelis themselves engage, we miss the opportunity to engage many more in the national life of the Jewish People.

|Brief Summary
Patients with oligometastatic colorectal cancer (5 metastases or less) receive a combination of systemic treatment and often local treatment, such as surgery, radiofrequency ablation and more recently stereotactic body radiotherapy. The aim of this study is to register the results and side effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) by means of helical tomotherapy in the treatment of oligometastatic colorectal cancer.
The trial has two cohorts. Patients in cohort I get consolidation SBRT after best response on first line chemotherapy. Patients in cohort II get SBRT when there is progression under, or no indication for (further) chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the metabolic complete remission rate three months after the start of radiotherapy.

: Help, I'm Getting Discouraged!
Hi ladies,
I got my last relaxer in June of 2008 and in July I decided I wasn't going to relax again. After researching and reading several blogs I got my hair cut into a cute bob to get rid of thin ends and the healthy growing began.
I have a ton of new growth but I'm feeling the urge to relax or texlax now. All this time I haven't had a huge urge to go back to chemicals but lately I've been experimenting with no heat styles...I stopped straightening and opted for styles such as banty knot outs and CNs Twist and Curl. I dont know why I thought these would work...I got the bantu knots down perfectly and when I take them down its hot but when I step outside...I'm left with a frizzy fro.
I get the same thing with my curlformers and with my twist and curls. If I straighten with a flat iron my just looks better longer. Someone please help. I've come so far and I dont want to turn back...but I just might have to. I would hate waking up every morning just to check to the humidity outside to see if I can wear my hair out.
Thanks in advance...

List, of cons
Molded, above-ground hot tubs offer a wider choice of options than any other type of spa. From size and shape to materials and price, you're certain to find a model to fit your style. These tubs are much easier to install than an in-ground spa, but you do need to prepare the site carefully.Pros
A tub for every budget. Above-ground hot tubs have the widest price range of all spa types. A basic model made of molded plastic, called rotomold, can cost as little as $2,000, while luxurious models loaded with extras can run more than $15,000. Extra costs may be incurred to prepare a suitable site for installation, but the tub should be easy to install yourself -- no need to bring in a contractor. This kind of tub is also typically very energy-efficient, say the editors of Better Homes and Gardens.
Depends on the material. The most common material for an above-ground hot tub is acrylic backed by fiberglass. In the past, acrylic surfaces were likely to develop bubbles or cracks over time, but modern versions are better. An even more durable option is thermal plastic, which editors at Spasearch magazine call "virtually indestructible." Tubs of stainless steel are also very durable, but cost more. Experts recommend looking carefully at the manufacturer's warranty to ensure it covers all parts of the tub. Surface and structure tend to be covered separately, so look at both. Also keep an eye out for limits and exclusions.
Up and running in hours. An above-ground hot tub must be installed on a strong, level surface like a pad of reinforced concrete. Most need access to a standard 110-volt electrical outlet, though some require a 220-volt circuit, which may require the services of a qualified electrician. However, if you already have the proper circuit installed, you should be able to set up your new tub without having to hire a professional.
Styles range from utilitarian to posh. Above-ground hot tubs come in just about every style imaginable. Some look like bulky plastic blocks, some have elegant wood or faux-wood cabinets, and the fanciest models feature stone-look veneers, colored lighting and even waterfalls. The arrangement of seats and water jets also varies widely. Although above-ground models generally can't be custom-designed the way an in-ground spa can, you're almost certain to find one to fit your style. Because these tubs stand well above ground level, they may become a focal point in your landscape whether you like it or not, so it's worth choosing one whose looks you really like. This type of tub is technically portable, but it's so heavy that you probably won't want to move it once it's in place. However, it can come with you if you move.
Planning for a Spa, Editors of Better Homes and Gardens, Not dated
This article discusses several factors to consider when choosing a hot tub. It compares indoor and outdoor installation, as well as above-ground units editors describe as 'portable' and in-ground models. They also outline pros and cons for each type, along with estimated costs.
2. Spasearch
Current Issue, Editors of Spasearch magazine, As of June 2017
Spasearch magazine bills itself as "your independent hot tub sourcebook." It covers the full range of issues related to hot-tub buying decisions, with sections on shopping, construction, features, maintenance and installation. You can read the latest issue here, or browse through past issues elsewhere on the site. Editors also list recommended hot tub manufacturers and dealers.
Buying a Hot Tub or Spa, Rachel Gelb, Apr. 29, 2014
This buying guide to hot tubs is offered by the Boston area office of the Better Business Bureau. No brands or models are mentioned, but there's lots of helpful information regarding choosing a dealer and other considerations to help you pick the right hot tub and get the maximum satisfaction from it.
Hot Tubs, Contributors to HomeDepot.com, As of June 2017
HomeDepot.com sells a wide variety of hot tubs, including more than 100 above-ground models in various sizes. Most don't get much feedback, but others get dozens of reviews. Those that do well in the eyes of a majority of owners are easy to spot.
5. Wayfair.com
Hot Tubs, Contributors to Wayfair.com, As of June 2017
While the above-ground hot tubs listed at Wayfair.com, an online retailer, are not reviewed by any of the expert sources we consulted, several receive at least a dozen user reviews – and some get significantly more than that. Reviews tend to be brief, but some go into more detail or describe long-term experiences. So-called 'plug and play' spas tend to get the most reviews.
