A captivating look behind the scenes of the remarkable life of a young Swedish girl who became one of the most celebrated actresses of American and World cinema.
In spring 2011, director Stig Björkman meets Ingrid Bergman's daughter Isabella Rossellini and she suggests him to "make a film about Mama". Through Isabella, Stig is able to tell Ingrid's story through her own words and images. Seven time Academy Award-nominee and three time Academy Award-winner Ingrid Bergman was one of the most talented actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age with great performances in films such as CASABLANCA (1942), GASLIGHT (1944) and and AUTUMN SONATA (1978).
A portrait of Amy Winehouse the artist threaded together from extracts from interviews she gave to the BBC for a variety of documentary projects including the Jazz and Soul Britannia series on FOUR, much of which material is previously unbroadcast, blended with performances from across her career, including some which are also previously unbroadcast and unseen. Winehouse had a strong relationship with many parts of the BBC from when she launched herself as an artist back in 2004. In her short musical career, the North London native changed the landscape of modern pop culture, won countless awards, achieved critical acclaim and garnered global success before tragically dying at the tender age of 27. On the eve of the release of Asif Kapadia's Amy documentary film which explores Winehouse's life and death, here is an exploration of her music and her influences in her own words. Consisting performances and interviews entirely from the BBC archives this film celebrates Amy's music, her influences, her challenges as an artist and her eternal brutal honesty in her own words.

Thanks to Kizz for the inspiration.
Ten things I would do if I won the lottery:
1. Create a foundation through which all of the money would be managed.
2. Set aside funds sufficient to pay for the college educations of my daughters and my Bowyer nephews.
3. Set up a foundation for Charter High School, and hire someone to make sure those funds are spent efficiently and ethically (in other words, keep the board out of it).
4. Buy a piece of lakefront property for my husband. All his life, Mr. Chili has wanted to live at the lake – at least for part of the year – and I have always wanted to be able to do that for him.
5. Send a check to an Occupy movement to buy supplies they need to overwinter outdoors.
6. Sponsor a scholarship for a number of students to Local U.
7. Pay off our mortgage – and maybe our friends' mortgages.
8. Endow our local hospice, our local homeless shelter, our local Planned Parenthood chapter, and our local child services center.
9. Take a trip – perhaps a months' long exploration of Europe.
10. Stop worrying.

First, we were thrilled to be able to help a local pup who's mom had posted on Dogster, desperately looking for a new home for him. Jimmy's mom is having some serious problems and was going to have to give him up. She only had a short time to find him a new home and was going to put him to sleep rather than send him to a shelter. Our pal Postal was able to talk her out of putting him to sleep and giving us a few more days to help. We were able to find a rescue nearby that was willing and able to take him in. They picked him up yesterday. It feels great to have helped save his life.
As if that wasn't enough...
We were just heartbroken when we found out that Teddi Sue had been stolen with her mom's car. Then when it was found but she wasn't...that was the worst. Now, 6 weeks later she's been found! She was kept safe and sound and luckily the people who'd ended up with her have done the right thing and returned her to her family. Her mom picked up up today and is on her way home with her right now. We couldn't be happier for them.
Neither of these success stories would have been possible without Dogster and the great pups and people on it.
Here are the rules of the game: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don't forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!
Shh...don't tell, but we're cheating. Since so many pups are getting tagged over and over again, we're only tagging one pup instead of 7.
We got tagged by our pal Sir Snickers Alot
1. Mom's thinking of changing our name from Buenos Pooches to Brat Pack 'cause it's really a more fitting name for us.
2. Since getting us, our paw-rents can't imagine ever having human babies.
3. Mom and Dad have been home with us all week while Mom gets over skin cancer surgery and we're not gonna like it one bit when they both go back to work next week.
4. Mom switched us over to Canidae food and 2 out of 3 of us like it. Daisy, who normally eats anything has decided to be finicky about it.
5. Mom's got an appointment to get us all microchipped in a couple of weeks but she has no idea how she's going to manage getting all of us there by herself...it should be fun!!
6. Logan is an obedience school dropout, Daisy barely passed puppy class and Peaches doesn't even know how to "sit".
7. Mom and Dad don't know it yet, but we're really the ones in charge here...

hadda find this in the manual
Page 3D-1, Chevrolet Factory Shop Manual {1984),published by Helm,Inc.;Quote:Each wheel is mounted by a five link independent suspension.The five links are identified as the wheel driveshaft,camber control suppost rod, upper and lower control arms and tie rod.:Unquote.
My bad, i haddn't read the manual in months and was under the impression that the drive line support/beam was the 5th link.
I am assuming that the support beam cushions the shock of hard accelleration, putting a little "fudge factor" into getting the car rolling or into another gear w/o a lot of tire spin.I'll be doing extensive modifications to the frame and engine location {going to a five speed from a auto} and would like to provide for controlling the pinion wrap-up, should the results{of the frame mods} prove to be less than ideal, thus the question about the shock/pinion snubber. I'm concerned about constricting the movement of the pinion or possible shortening the life of the d-shaft, and would like to provide for the possibility of dealing with the problem should it appear.I've dry run the beam w/o engine trans in the frame and it moves {with only arm power} at least 30 degrees{not counting pinion travel upon downshift}. My impressions are: the beam will defect somewhat just because of its lenght/material and it is mounted in rubber "gaskets" {providing "give"}. So when i build another beam to replace the existing one , it will be shorter{stiffer} and probably made outta 3/4-1" square tubing{stiffer}. will this cause a problem with trans/motor movement or possibly negate the effect of the trans/rear-end connection?Just how critical is the effect of the beam?I'm assuming the increased weight of the engine/trans proximity will make the pinion wind-up even more markedly.
Anyway, the plan rt now is to include some sort of pinion control device and build a trans crossmember w/a stock trans. rubber bumper.
Any/all imput appreciated, Randy

The legendary Scot also reveals that he turned down the opportunity to sign a 17-year-old Joe Hart from Shrewsbury Town in 2005
Sir Alex Ferguson has today revealed that he hopes to continue as manager of Manchester United for another "two or three years".
The 70-year-old, who has been in charge at Old Trafford since November 1986, has won 12 league titles, two European Cups and five FA Cups during his time at the club.
Goal.com exclusively revealed in January that Sir Alex was in talks to extend his current deal with the club, with a view to making him the highest paid manager in Britain.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, the Red Devils' boss spoke of potentially staying in the club's hot seat for a few more years, and hopefully ending on a high.
"I think you always want to go out on a winning note," said the Scot.
"Hopefully we can do that. I don't know how long I can last now, but if my health stays up, I don't think another two or three years would harm me."
In addition, Sir Alex also revealed that he regrets not taking the opportunity to sign England goalkeeper Joe Hart for a mere £100k before his switch to Manchester City.
Hart, then 18, joined the Citizens in 2006 from League Two outfit Shrewsbury Town for an initial fee of £600k, having already made first-team 54 appearances and being named in the 2005-06 'PFA League Two Team of the Year'.
"I could have bought Joe Hart for £100k, so we all make mistakes," Sir Alex added.
"If you look at the England goalkeeper situation for the last 20 years, I would think he's easily the best."
Listen to the full interview in 'Spoony meets Sir Alex Ferguson' at 1900 GMT on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Demystifying How to Hire a Lawyer: Part 1
The first time you need to hire a lawyer, it may seem like a complicated or confusing process. How do you identify lawyers who are qualified to represent you? How do you know if they're any good? How much will it cost?
Once you know what you're doing, you'll find that hiring a lawyer really isn't that complicated. I'm going to try to demystify the process for you so that you can feel like a pro when and if you need to hire a lawyer.
Basics of the Legal Profession
Who can call themselves an attorney? To represent clients, a lawyer must have graduated from a law school, passed the bar exam and be a licensed lawyer. Licensing is done on a state-by-state basis. You want to hire a lawyer who is licensed to practice in the state in which you have a legal issue. (In other words, you can't and shouldn't hire your cousin's friend who practices divorce law in California if you're getting a divorce in New York.)
Hiring a lawyer in your area also has its advantages because your lawyer will be familiar with the local courts and government agencies. When reading a lawyer's profile on Lawyers.com, look for where it says, "Admitted to the bar, YEAR, STATE."
What kind of law does the lawyer practice? Like doctors, attorneys usually work in just one or a few areas of the law. Just as you wouldn't go to a podiatrist if you had a respiratory infection, you wouldn't hire an immigration lawyer to handle an automobile accident case.
In general, attorneys in smaller towns are more like to be generalists, or jack of all trades, but will refer you to another attorney if you have a legal issue that's outside their area of expertise. In larger cities, lawyers are more likely to practice in just one or a couple of areas of law.
What types of lawyers are there? In addition to classifying lawyer by the type of law they practice, you can also classify lawyers by the type of client they represent and by their level of experience.
An attorney who is an outside counsel works at a law firm or for himself and can be hired to handle a specific legal task. An attorney who is an in-house counsel works for a business and only handles legal work for that company. You as an individual could not hire that lawyer to handle your legal issues. There are several types of government lawyers. Similar to in-house counsel, government lawyers only work for the government and cannot be hired by individual clients.
Law firm lawyers are often classified by experience level. Junior attorneys (usually those with less than seven to 10 years of experience) are called associates. Associates usually report to a more senior lawyer, who may be called a partner, shareholder or counsel. The more complex your case, the more likely you'll be working with a more senior attorney.
How are lawyers paid? When you hire a law firm lawyer to handle a legal issue, you'll probably pay the attorney in one of three ways: Hourly fee, flat fee or contingency fee.
With an hourly fee, you pay the lawyer for the actual time he spends working on your legal issue, regardless of outcome. You're also responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for any expenses incurred on your behalf.
A flat fee means you're paying a predetermined price for a specific piece of work (such as a simple divorce filing). If the issue ultimately expands beyond the original scope, you may be asked to pay an hourly fee on top of the flat fee. Depending on the nature of your legal issue, expenses such as filing fees may be included in the flat fee or may be an added cost. You should ask the lawyer about any additional expenses at the outset.
Contingency fees are most common in personal injury work, when the client—an accident victim—stands to receive a financial award from another party. With a contingency fee, the client pays no money up front but gives the lawyer a percentage of any money that is received, and pays for associated expenses. If the client wins nothing, the lawyer receives no money.
Identifying Potential Attorneys
There are several ways that you can find attorneys who are qualified to handle your legal issue:
- Ask friends, family members and colleagues if they have used an attorney they'd recommend. Remember that you want a lawyer who is both in your geographic area (or the area where your legal issue is located) and who practices the type of law applicable to your legal issues.
- Use sources such as Lawyers.com to research attorneys who are have the experience to handle your case. Lawyers.com allows you to search for lawyers by name, location and/or practice area.
Lawyers.com can also be used to screen and compare attorneys that your friends and family members suggest.
When you first search for a lawyer (say, for example, a divorce lawyer in Chicago), you'll see a list of individual attorneys and law firms who meet the search criteria. The list may also include sponsored results from some firms and lawyers who are paying to appear at the top of the search results.
When you click on a search result, you'll see profile information, contact information and a list of firm attorneys (if you're looking at a law firm search result). Some attorneys may also include a picture or video in their profile.
Reading the profile you can also see what area of law the lawyer handles, where the lawyer is located, what school the lawyer attended and how recently he graduated. Many lawyers listed in Lawyers.com also have client ratings and peer ratings, helping you determine which attorney is best qualified to handle your case.
You can call or email many of the lawyers directly from their profile. Or, if you're not ready to contact a lawyer yet, you can also bookmark a profile by clicking on the green plus sign where it says, "Add to my lawyers."
In next Tuesday's post, I'll explain how to proceed once you've found a lawyer you potentially want to hire.

JERUSALEM -- The Israeli military says it has carried out airstrikes on nine targets inside Syria, including a regional command center, in response to a deadly cross-border attack that killed an Israeli teenager a day earlier.
The Israeli military said a regional "headquarters" as well as unspecified "launching positions" were targeted, and "direct hits were confirmed." The airstrikes took place in the vicinity of Sunday's violence in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
In Sunday's attack, a teenage boy was killed in what Israel said was an intentional cross-border attack. It was the first fatality on the Israeli side of the volatile front since the Syrian civil war erupted three years ago.

Swann Named ECB
Cricketer Of The Year
Featured News | 25th May 2010
Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme Swann has been named England Cricketer of the Year.
Swann, 31, has taken 99 wickets for England in all formats and was a key component of the Ashes-winning Test side and the all-conquering England Twenty20 team.
"It's been a magical year for me with so many high points," said Swann.
"I love playing for England and hope this award can be a stepping stone for even greater things both personally and as part of a successful England team.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank my team-mates for the support they've given me on and off the field over the last year. As I'm sure you can see from the pictures on TV we work hard as a team and take real pleasure in each other's successes.
"The atmosphere and bond we have in the dressing room at the moment makes winning that much sweeter."

The Kissing Game (original 1996; edition 2009)
by Suzanne Brockmann
Work details
The Kissing Game by Suzanne Brockmann (1996)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Light, sweet, but dated. Worth a read. Not as good as the SEALs and Troubleshooters books.
Amazon preorder
Sigh. I want so much to like these other Brockmann titles - being a huge fan of her Troubleshooters and Navy SEALs series - but these are simply lousy. I tried this second in the 'series' hoping it would be fun, but while it was sexy, it was just meh. :(
I really liked this story! I love books that make you laugh and cry, but also make you happy! This is a story of friends who fall in love. They are both terrified that by starting a romantic relationship that they'll ruin their friendship.
Both Simon and Frankie are fun characters. Frankie is independent and Simon a little on the sly side. Simon comes up with a couple of pretty ingenious plans to get Frankie to wake up and realize what's right in front of her. But, when they finally make it work, it's hot!
This was a short easy read. A fun story that made me want to check out other books by this author.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
Frankie Paresky teams up with longtime friend Simon Hunt to solve a puzzling mystery--and finds herself falling head over heels for the one man she swore she'd never love.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: open
So now it's fall 2002...and Google's become not just one of the Big Guys, seems to me like it's become a monster bully.
I've stopped using them as a search engine for the simple reason that my favorite sites seem to have disappeared, only to be replaced by (for lack of a better term) "bubba sites" -- along with the now-intensive plastering of text-based ads. (and then head on over to yahoo, or lycos, or whatever...same EXACT results...geeeez)
After reading these forums for awhile and reading the usenet discussions, it seems unpardonable TO IT'S USERS that Google would so callously just dump sites without warning and have some sort of secret code book of rules that we're all just supposed to guess at...
This is WHY people hire SEO experts...and now those who felt helpless to understand the OLD rules are floating out there in never never land because they got banned or reduced because now there are NEW RULES. Should businesses hire new SEOs?? What if they change the rules again???
I'm not a site owner, I'm a web developer...and researcher...and writer. I "work" the web for a variety of reasons, mostly to get reference material for whatever code or subject I'm working on. These last few weeks have been miserable insofar as getting the usual good results of my searches. And yes, I KNOW how to search.
But I finally connected the dots!
Google is definitely going downhill because they've forgotten who put them where they are today! Just when us developers are seeing the light at the end of the browser war tunnel, suddenly we NOW have to intuit the GOOGLE coding rules...and develop a new site that adheres to it...huh??? It reminds me of government regulation...big business love it because it shoves the little guy out.
Has anyone at Google wondered what all their rule changing/banning/reducing is doing to USERS?? Or do they only care that their precious secret "ranking algorithym" remains undecipherable to the average joe?
Does anyone else see what's wrong with this picture?? I think The People need a new search engine!
The one point I would second is deejay's which is that most people on this forum are not typical users...
There isn't anyone whom I can disagree with, but I'll add my chime.
Obviously from the quote, we know how to use google. We use quotes, we use more specific words, we use the words in a certain order or proximity, and we probably spell Britney Spears correctly. Because we know how it works.
The average user outnumbers us by many order of magnitude. (I'm also not saying that the average user doesn't know how to use google perfectly, just that there are a lot that don't, probably including myself) And I think google has taken this into account. Kudos to google, however, for those who know how to use it. It's a matter of education. You can't please everyone. Google does have to make a living.
Google, quite rightly, is a barometer (though of course imperfect) of popular culture. It indexes what is popular at this point of time (and a few months back).
You can be in and out of google like a rat up and out of a drainpipe. Your exposure is determined by current trends (and also whims an fancies). Thats not a criticism, for Google is also contemporary, up to date, and can target niches well. None of my searches in Google ever has come up with Spears, but thats not what Im looking for.
When you are in the Library of Congress you are there forever. It takes longer to get cred for the LOC - they are just different animals.

Hello previously & currently booty challenged friends! I've been commenting/messaging here and there for a week now. I wasn't going to start blogging until I at least had a consultation...BUT! I just realized that although I haven't even positively absolutely settled on a surgeon- I have a lot of notes to take. I have come across a lot of profiles -pre & post op- that I'd like to follow and need to write down. All of the invaluable tips/comments/warnings/opinions/lists/websites/pictures/etc. that I find I want to safely save here on my BBL blog. I'm kicking myself already because I didn't start journaling sooner and I'm like- "Omg who was that girl with the great neccessities list?!" or "Who was the chick I found with a similar structure to me?!". I was frantically searching through a couple dozen profiles without luck and I can't waste any more time nor lose track of highly necessary information. So! Here I am. I'll be compiling all types of lists in order to prepare from the very start. Thank you everyone whom I have bombarded with a million questions.
Plastic Surgeons
First Choice- Dr. Moises Salama, Elite Plastic Surgery, Aventura, FL
Second Choice- Dr. Rami Ghurani, Elite Plastic Surgery, Aventura, FL
My original list also included:
Dr. Michael Salzhauer
Dr. Jimerson
Dr. Perry
I finally have my list cut down to just two. So I am continuing my research for at least another week or so in order to be absolutely sure of my choice before I call in/email for a consultation. Taking it one step at a time!
I'm not a super serious person but my physical & mental health -my life most importantly- are a very delicate matter. I've been talking about butt pads, butt implants, & BBL for a long time to friends & family so they support me and know how I feel. We all joke around about our lack of a bum but if you're like me; there has been more than a handful of moments in your life when you weren't laughing anymore. I'm entirely happy with myself, my friends, family life, social life- just happy with life; Period. Buuuut! There's just a smidge of sadness for me when I workout hard and see no results. When I fall in love with an outfit and come to find that it doesn't suit or flatter my body at all. I'm short, I'm petite, (great set of natural knockers), and a Latina without a trace of booty. I try to make due with what I have but being surrounded by so many shapely women... I can't help but feel like a little boy. I want to feel feminine and exude that ever so feminine womanly vibe. I want hips! I want a booty! I want a tiny waist! I want my exterior to match my fabulous interior! And I fully intend to set about this journey the right way and not blindly jump into the operating table of some nutjob.
Happy Journey/Informative Hunting/Smooth Healing my friends!
And I leave you with some of my personal favorite lack-of-ass sayings.
I've got to sift through a lot of profiles & keep researching! I welcome and thank any and every girl who can comment or pm me with tips/comments/updates/etc. Thank you BBL ladies!
I've got a back with a crack!
I don't refer to it as my butt- it's my lower, lower back.
I suffer from Spongebobalitis Pancakococcus
I can't make my ass clap for you- it can maybe wink...or give you a nod...perhaps a thumbs up on a good day.
1000ccs = 2.2lbs of fat/Calculating your Body Mass Index
MARCH 07, 2014 Sex: Female Height:...
Once i have a date set, I plan to gain 15-20lbs....
Your body mass index number is indicative of your body fat percentage. For example my BMI came out to 20.6- which means my body is roughly 20% fat.
Average/Normal: 18.5---24.9
Overweight: 25---29.9
Obese: 30 and over
I realized how important CC quantity was to other girls. I also saw someone upload a picture of 1,000CCs of saline but couldn't picture it in my butt or grasp just how much that amount was. So I looked it up!
Every 1000 CCs = 1 liter of fat
1000 CCs = Weighs 2.2 lbs = 1liter
2000 CCs = Weighs 4.4 lbs = 2liters
3000 CCs = Weighs 6.6 lbs = 3liters
4000 CCs = Weighs 8.8 lbs = 4liters
5000 CCs = Weighs 11 lbs = 5liters

Repeated calls to Mathematica process
I have an integral function which I need to maximize. The maximization
procedure requires many evaluations of this function. The fastest way
for me to evaluate this function is to integrate it symbolically once
and then evaluate it repeatedly as the parameters change in the
maximization routine. Since I have a large data set, I am using Gauss
to maximize this function, and the Gauss procedure can call the
Mathematica process.
What I don't know how to do is to maintain the memory state of the
Mathematica process as I move back and forth to Gauss. That is, I want
to symbolically integrate the function once, then do some work in
Gauss, and then come back to Mathematica to evaluate the function. But
once I exit the mathematica process, I will lose the symbolic solution
to my integral. In short, I want to treat the Mathematica process like
an object (rather than a function) which performs the symbolic
integration upon construction, remains in memory while I do other
things, and then evaluates it whenever I message it.
Short of reading and writing back and forth to files (which is expensive
time-wise) is there any way to hold the memory state of a Mathematica
process while I do the work in Gauss?

Why Can't We Vote Online?
During the Democratic presidential primaries, I was reckless enough to suggest that Michigan and Florida consider conducting new votes online, to replace their unsanctioned primaries. ...
During the Democratic presidential primaries, I was reckless enough to suggest that Michigan and Florida consider conducting new votes online, to replace their unsanctioned primaries. Mark Stencel covered some of the obstacles to voting over the Web in Governing's latest Managing Technology Letter:
Millions of voters lined up long before Election Day. And those early-voting lines were especially long in places such as North Carolina, one of this year's unexpected electoral battlegrounds. By Monday morning, 2.6 million people, or 42 percent of North Carolina's registered voters, had already cast their ballots.
Among those millions were the Wake County residents, including my father, who waited for an hour to vote a few weekends ago at the Cary Town Center shopping mall, a short drive from the state capital in Raleigh. That surely was a galling wait for some of those busy suburbanites, many of whom work for the Research Triangle area's numerous technology firms.
In an age of instant online access to so many public and private services -- including all of the Web-based storefronts of the same retailers that have shops in the Cary mall -- how is it that people were still standing in long, winding lines to vote? Aren't lines just for roller coaster riders and airline passengers? Why not vote on the Web?
That's not a new idea, but Internet voting is a long way from reality -- at least in the United States. Pilot projects during the past decade in this country have focused almost entirely on voters who live and work overseas, particularly people in the military. For these voters, the realities of international postage delivery are often at odds with state and local deadlines and processes for requesting and returning absentee ballots, so e-ballots make sense.
Electionline, a Pew Center on the States project that tracks voting trends, notes that seven states now permit military and oversees voters to use e-mail to send in absentee ballots -- the Internet-age equivalent of faxing in the documents. (See ElectionLine's 2007 report on overseas voting.) And a few state political parties, including the Democratic organizations in Michigan and Arizona, have dabbled in online voting as part of their presidential nominating caucuses. But real-time voting via the Web just has not taken off here.
The technological concerns about Internet ballots are the same that some voters have with electronic voting machines: accountability, security, privacy and redundancy. But the highly federated systems of administering elections in this country, and of keeping tabs on the population, are major obstacles to online voting as well.
Voting experiments in other countries help underscore the distinctive challenges for American election officials. Take Estonia, the small, young Baltic democracy that has been a global innovator in e-government services. In 2005, the former Soviet republic allowed nationwide Internet voting in its local council elections. More than 9,000 voters, including the prime minister, used the service. But most of the country's roughly 1 million registered voters were eligible, as long as they possessed a new national ID card and had access to a device that allowed a computer to read the card's embedded electronics. In combination with a private, government-issued PIN, this system made voting via a secure Web connection as easy as a transaction at a bank teller machine.
And in parliamentary elections last year, three times as many Estonians cast their votes online -- 30,275 out of 897,243 eligible voters. (See stories from the BBC, CNET and Wired for more on Estonia's e-voting efforts.)
Compare all that with a new online voting experiment in Arizona. Also a pioneer in online government, that state was the first of only two that allow voter registration on the Web. Since the United States has no national ID card, Arizona's system depends on driver's licenses or official state identification. Easy enough. And, in fact, this successful system served as the entry point for about 60 percent of the people who joined the voter rolls this year before Arizona's Oct. 6 registration deadline.
Now the state is taking the next logical step: Internet balloting for overseas voters. But this system is not quite as simple. First, voters need to obtain log-in information and passwords from their home counties. After that, they can download ballots, as well as affidavits that require their signatures. The completed documents can then be scanned and uploaded to the state via a secure Internet connection. The state transmits the files to the counties, which validate the signatures and registration information before sending the ballots along to be tabulated by local vote counters. Got it?
A news release by Secretary of State Jan Brewer's office notes that Arizona's Internet voting system is based on "the same type of security used for online banking and credit card transactions." However, if online banking were in fact done this way, customers would write out checks, scan them into a computer and then upload the images of those checks to the bank, which would then make disbursements from a local branch office.
Arizona's online voting system carefully and cleverly preserves its counties' official role in administering key parts of the election process. But it also illustrates the challenge Brewer and other officials face in creating simple Internet voting processes that comply with this country's hodgepodge of state and local election requirements.
I originally made this argument in the Oct. 27 "Futurist" column I wrote for Governing's sister publication, Congressional Quarterly's CQ Weekly. Most of the reader comments posted with the online version of that column have focused on the security concerns. "How would the Estonian e-voting have gone down if had happened during the Russian cyber attack in May of '07?" asked a former colleague of mine, citing a Guardian article on the incident.
My answer was there are indeed all kinds of vulnerabilities, from denial-of-service attacks to some other kind of cyber assault. But our current offline systems for managing elections also are vulnerable to all manner of disruption, from weather to worse. The 9/11 terrorist attacks happened to be on primary day for New York City's 2001 municipal elections; voting was postponed, needless to say. That is not an argument for or against Internet voting. But the tendency to see vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems (whether online or systems at the physical polling place) as significantly different from non-electronic systems (missing paper ballots or manual manipulation of registration rolls) is interesting.
Inevitably, online voting will become a trusted way of exercising democracy's most fundamental rights. But, in part because of the quirks that distinguish American democracy and culture, the United States is unlikely to lead the way.

CHARLOTTE, NC - MAY 23: Hall of Fame inductee Richard Petty speaks during the 2010 NASCAR Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Charlotte Convention Center on May 23, 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Richard Petty expects only a few small changes for his NASCAR Sprint Cup teams heading into 2013. The seven time Champion says he expects to remain with Ford and keep drivers Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola under contract. "It looks like there is not going to be a lot of change there for next year, but there's no concrete stuff yet," Petty said Friday at Chicagoland Speedway. "We're figuring on staying in exactly the same place, with the same operation from a manufacturing standpoint. We don't see a change unless somebody else comes up with something." Ambrose has won the Watkins Glen event each of the last two seasons. Following his win there this year Petty said he was close to a deal to remain with Ford. Earlier this week the two Petty teams swapped crew chiefs. Mike Ford is now the crew chief for the No. 9 while Todd Parrott moved to the No. 43.

Hey MK2MR2. I love Supras. They are Supra sexy...my fave jap car. I wouldn't say no to a Supra daily driver!!
I drive my Deuce for fun
I also have an Oldsmobile which I will be selling soon. I used the olds while building the '32.
I also have a company car daily driver. It's an Audi A4 turbo diesel.
My wife has a.....er.......Honda Civic, VTi's 180 bhp. But, dont worry I blow the *** of her in my Deuce. She also likes driving the '32!!
[ December 18, 2002: Message edited by: Deuce UK ]

daily driver is a 69 ford falcon with a straight six 200--with 2.5 inch exhaust with glasspacks--its a granny car all the chrome is shaved off and its soon to be flat black--i drive it in the snow and rain and all of that--shes a trooper
My daily driver is a 2001 GMC Extended Cab 4x4 with the 5.3 and leather.
Wifes driver.....for mileage purposes is a 2002 Trans AM....hehehe 28 mpg on the freeway at 70mph turning 1800 rpms....
Toy - 69 Firebird with a 70 .060 over 455. Appears all original except for custom hood scoop, guages, and shifter.....my 10.5 second street car.....
Seeing what some of you guys drive as "dailys" is making me jealous!! It also makes me realize that I am desperately in need of my own project!!!
I drive a 94 Nissan Sentra 4 dr. it used to be my wifes but she got a Tacoma. It was around the same time I sold my dream car... It was a 1964 Valiant Convertable w/ Slant6 and a FACTORY four on the floor!! a very rare combo (they did nothing to cover the big empty space on the dash where the button shifts would have been...)Once I get myself decently employed again I will be in the market for a new daily and my own project (a guy can only go so far helping with his dads project)
For dailys I am hoping to get a well equipped 94ish Cadillac DeVille or 96 Olds 98, I feel both cars would look cool with slightly bigger wheels and a little low..
For projects right now I am in love with the following and any one of them would make me happy. I live in CA. and old cars are easy to come by if you have the $$, but I dont!!
1968 Imapla (not the fast back)
1972 Buick Sportwagon (I have seen some buick wagons that had that "olds custom cruiser" roof window)
1967 Cadillac Deville "75" this is the one that was also used to make limos, but it was sold as an 8 passenger sedan too
1964 Lincoln Continental- 4dr
My wife also has a project car that she owned since she was 16, right now it is has been in storage for 15 years and only gets driven occasionally. It is a 1960 Mercedes 190sl. Yes I know..its not american, but I have new respect for german autos after driving this thing!! Of course I will have to split my priorities between her car and mine.

Isn't it amazing!The Brits the only one with a hot rod.
dmorris it just seems that you and a couple other people are the only ones that "don't belive me" when i actually know you belive me but you're just jealouse because my car is ALOT faster than yours. But hey that's alright I'm cool w/ that. I don't really mind that you are sitting at home pissed of that a 19 year old kid has a faster car than you
(paid less for it to)
P.S.- If I'm 100% full of ***** then why do you belive 10% of what I say. That means you belive 10% of *****.. Looks like someone needs to go back to 3rd grade Math

Bring it on there queer boy, a picture is worth a thousand words. Or better yet how about a couple of pictures. Hey maybe you could borrow some pictures from HRK, he has some good ones.
hanging head low......85 ford bronco II.....wife's.....94 beretta.....and her project car......91 mustang LX 4 banger....sheeeesh....talking about feeling sheepish........ :o
My winter driver and all round work and play is a 68 Ford Bronco Half Cab. I'm 2nd owner since 1987, and its still ticking along with a sweet running 289. Just got back from a 30 day, 5000 miles hunting trip and it just purred like a kitten. Course my back maybe complaining a bit. My summer driver for fun is a 36 Ford 5WC with a mild Heart Beat for power. Now if Santa will bring me a digital camera and I can figure out how to do the tricks, I'll post some pics of these and other projects completed!!
my daily driver is my yellow elky .my projects are my 53 chevy and a 67 malibu wagon,i will be picking up soon.
my daily driver is a 86 buick somerset with a quad4. i have a 68 camaro in the shop and my weekend car is a hugger orange 69 camaro (see avatar) it runs mid 13's. its pretty much stock
My wife drives the fancy car in the family, a '63 olds super 88 fiesta wagon. 394ci, auto, power steering and seats. she loves it!! I bought off ebay for $1750.00 and drove it home.
I get to drive an '00 nissan frontier. but when summer gets here I get to drive one of two motorcycles. '77 kz650 or '81 goldwing.
I drive a 91 VW Jetta Diesel, non turbo. 50-60 MPG is pretty addicting for commuting.
Recently my Dad just gave me his pride and joy, he's getting on in years (81) and wants me to take care of it and drive it. I helped him pick it out and he has loved that car since he got it, I do too!
What is it?
A 94 Taurus SHO Titanium blue, 4 dr...loaded...leather, premium JBL sound the works. You could say I got the Christmas present every man dreams of, she needs a few parts (water pump, cam sensor, thermostat, rad) but otherwise it is mint with only 160 000Km.
Dad says I need to travel in style, I say never disagree with your father. Thanks Dad, she's in capable hands.  You know I don't think the car has ever seen more than half throttle since my Dad has owned it (except those times I borrowed it ...), we might have to blow out the accumulated carbon out of her this weekend  . See? there is a Santa!
Anyone want to see a pic of Chucky's new ride?
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
you're lookin at it.
to death2: why would someone with a hotrod camaro pick a road runner as his avatar?
to maddsyntist: why are YOU LIEING by telling everyone HRK sold his '56 Ford pick up to YOU?? HE SOLD IT TO ME!!!!

just thinking about HRK, and the latest issues with the board, and thought we might want to congratulate mynameizcarlos for getting past his initial troubles with the site, and starting a topic that quite a few people have enjoyed. any seconds on the motion?

Growing up black in El Paso was nothing short of hell. Robbed of equal opportunities, hardly ever around people of similar race. Ostracized for being different, constantly bullied by teachers and students. I sat back and while my civil rights were violated by people who weren't even American citizens...this is to say that mexicans who crossed the bridge to come to school were given more than us blacks were. Constantly called mayate, treated like dogs...and in case anyone is wondering this was in the 80's and 90's...not the god damn 50 or 60's. That city has some serious catching up to do. I can't even step foot in that city because it brings bag such horrible memories....it literally gets me feeling homicidal. Fuck El Paso, there are so many other progressive cities to live in why live there?

I hear you. As a fellow African I went through the same thing. But I looked to role models from our community to help me cope. I began to mimic Wilt Chamberlain in every way, dominating on the basketball court and then sleeping with white women afterward. I tapped so many white butts that my dong turned blue. That really made them jealous of me and I had the last laugh, in addition to busting a lot of nuts.
#1621 Nov 4, 2013
Great response ...not. The number of blacks in El Paso when I lived there was around 2% or less...so my people did what? We suffered through social injustice at the hands of whites and Mexicans and you want to say we did it too. Sure...blacks were oppressing everyone in El Paso. Lol you've got Jones I see

Democrats have done everything they could to make racism apart of their fight to control first the blacks and now the Mexicans...when its the democrats who will be their undoing in the end. Either your for America and become apart of our freedoms and enjoy living in a country where you can achieve anything no matter what color you are, without tearing down what we as a people stand for and what has made us great, despite our growing pains in the youngest nation on earth. Melting pot has always meant we blend together as one, as a Americans. We have laws, we must all obey and understand its for the safety and integrity and sovereignty of our nation.
Our nation is being torn apart by a president who wants destruction and control over every freedom we have always enjoyed over every other country on earth, you must stop the hate for your fellow American and take a good look at who encourages this, their are no logical reason to hate one another for any reason, period. We are all blessed, we must stand against people who speak with a racist tone, we are not a racist nation.

We are talking about El Paso, and I live in another city and it's not the same. That city is unique in that regard...what other city in the US has such a high percentage of Mexicans? They don't like black people, and ask yourself what did black people ever do to Mexicans other than pave they way for you to have equal rights? What? You kiss the white man's ass, and dis on the brothers...you all have it twisted. You kiss enough ass, and eventually you are going to eat shit...and then everything out of your mouth is shit!

I enjoy sitting on the porch watching thunderstorms, while enjoying a craft beer or glass of wine.
I'm looking for a woman not a girl. My perfect woman is smart, she reads a little during her free time. Cares about her health and fitness. She has no problem getting a little muddy, and a random camping trip anywhere is exciting. This girl can laugh at stupid girly nonsense, but can still take a joke when the guys she's friends with try to bust her metaphorical balls.
My priorities revolve around being a father and family. I'm looking for a partner.

Everyone deals with admin in their own way….
And if your method's working well, there's no reason to change!
On the other hand if…
- Invoices aren't going out.
- Cheques aren't coming in.
- Bills are unpaid.
- Forms remain unfilled.
- Emails loiter unanswered.
- Your marketing's a mess.
- Filing a distant dream.
- And you can't remember when you last saw the surface of your desk.
…maybe a change wouldn't be such a bad idea!
How we can help?
Well, whilst lots of people hate all the boring stuff that keeps our business and home lives running on oiled wheels, we love it! You might say, organisation's our middle name and there's nothing we relish so much as conjuring order out of chaos.
And, because we're "virtual" we can offer fast, flexible, efficient secretarial and administrative support at the end of the phone or email, without any of the hassle, fuss, paperwork and overheads of employing your own on-site secretary.
We can deal with:
- Record-keeping
- Correspondence
- Making phonecalls
- Maintaining your diary
- And – this gets better and better doesn't it? You pay only for the actual time worked which of course eliminates, sick pay, holidays not to mention lunch and coffee breaks.
the cyber sec service is as attractive to stressed out small or start-up business owners, unable to justify the cost of a much needed full-time administrator, as it is to larger organisations simply seeking additional admin resource or assistance on a specific project.

Sorry about not posting last night but I got home late from our monthly bunco and was pooped! What did I weigh yesterday?? Hmmm....I think it was something like 139.4. Dang monthly water retention! I can't really blame today's weight on female problems, it was more like two helpings of Indian and Persian food and two helpings of trifle....more on that later.
Let's recap yesterday.....
Breakfast was Fage yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar free strawberry jam mixed it, a half cup of fiber one, a half cup of strawberries and a handful of blueberries. Finally a pic!!!
After dropping the kiddos off at school, I went to spin class. We did 45 minutes of spin and 15 minutes of abs. I met up with my friend Lisa afterwards for some sushi. I was planning on taking a pic of my sushi but by the time I remembered my plate looked like this:
I did manage to take a pic of the lovely orange the sushi chef carved up for us!
We did some grocery shopping at Trader Joes and then I went home to start prepping for our bunco party. We have bunco once a month and someone's house. We don't play bunco anymore....just eat, drink and be merry! So this month our festivities took place at Dina's house. Dina enlisted my culinary help and we decided to make it a group effort. She prepared some fabulous Persian dishes and I whipped up my favorite recipe ever: Indian Butter Chicken. This stuff is sinful.
After getting all my ingredients ready, I packed my stuff and drove the 3 minutes to Dina's and the fun began.
I started getting my appetizer ready: Spinach Brownies.
No.....they aren't really brownies with spinach. It's a silly name but I got the recipe from allrecipes.com and that was it's name. I tweaked the recipe a bit according to the reviews and it turned out fabulous!!
From the stove top:
Out of the oven:
And onto the platter:
They were attacked before I could get a picture. So, now that you're drooling, here's my recipe:
Spinach "Brownies"
Servings: 24
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
½ tsp cayenne pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
¼ to ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
Preheat oven to 375˚. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Saute onions and garlic in butter and then add the spinach to wilt down. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in eggs and milk. Mix in the spinach mixture. Add most of the mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper, cayenne and red pepper flakes and combine.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella, parmesan and feta cheeses. Bake in the preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool a bit before serving.
Now....moving on. While all this fabulous cooking was going on, I was sipping on, quite possibly, the best beverage on the planet. Dina was so kind to buy me some almond flavored champagne. I was in love.
Next it was time to make the Butter Chicken. Here it is in my beautiful Le Creuset pot after swirling the heavy cream in:
Sauce is all smooth with the chicken added in:
And the final beautiful product:
I'm drooling just looking at this. Eat it with some basmati rice and some of this good stuff:
Yup.....here it is....the recipe:
Indian Butter Chicken (Chicken Makhani)
(Serves 4)
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
¼ white onion, chopped
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 ½ tsp garam masala
1 ½ tsp chili power
1 ½ tsp cumin
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup tomato sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
1 tsp garam masala
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ cup ground cashews (just grind in food processor until paste forms)
Cilantro for garnish
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Sauté shallot and onion until soft and translucent. Stir in butter, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, 1 ½ tsp garam masala, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in heavy cream. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat, and season with 1 tsp garam masala and cayenne. Stir in a few spoonfuls of sauce and simmer until liquid has reduced, and chicken is no longer pink. Stir cooked chicken into sauce and return to a low heat.
Mix the finely ground cashews into the sauce. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Here are a couple of pics of Dina's yummy appetizers:
And some chicken kabobs:
I didn't get pictures of the two Persian stews Dina made but they were excellent!!!
Shall we move onto dessert? :)
Lisa's Famous Brownies (so good!!):
And the most amazing trifle that Dina made (brownies, Kahlua, chocolate pudding, cool whip and Health Bar). Um, I could die right now. Yes, I had two huge helpings and I'm not ashamed.
It was such a fun night....hanging out with friends and eating lots of yummy food! And don't forget the almond champagne!!!
So...here we are with today's recap. Nothing as exciting as yesterday I'm afraid. Breakfast was a light multi grain english muffin with a tablespoon of almond butter and a half cup of strawberries. No pic, sorry.
Dropped the kids at school and went to Step and Sculpt. Had an amazing full body workout and then ran a bunch of errands. Lunch was a Subway 6 inch turkey on wheat with everything (no olives!). I stopped by another self serve frozen yogurt place (Cool Cravings) and had half cake batter, half chocolate. Very tasty!!
Got my nails and toes done and came home to relax. The hubby is gone tonight so....you guessed it....spaghetti time!
I sauteed some veggies to throw on top:
Sorry for the crooked pic but you get the point. Here is the final delicious product:
Dessert was a vanilla skinny cow ice cream sandwich with some sugar free hot fudge on top.
And that folks, is that. If you made it all the way through this post...Congratulations. :)

A is for America and Australia
Yes, you can blame both for our tax credit mess. Bill Clinton introduced it over there, the Aussies expanded it down under, and Gordon Brown liked it so much he brought it over here.
Or you can go back even further, to 1967, when right-wing free-market economist Milton Friedman first started writing on the subject.
The "big idea" was that welfare and tax systems were creating disincentives to work, as for every extra pound earned the government took back more than one pound in the form of reduced benefits and higher tax.
Some US states began introducing "workfare" programmes based on tax credits as long ago as the early 1980s. Then Bill Clinton made the "earned income tax credit" programme a cornerstone of his welfare to work scheme.
But the British model more closely matches the Australian in so far as it stretches way beyond low income families into the middle income arena. British tax credits also appeal to the Chancellor because they avoid wasteful duplication across two Whitehall departments - one takes money from citizens (the Inland Revenue) and the other doles it out again (the DSS).
B is for Bounty
The tax credit system is like Mother Bountiful. It costs £4.8bn a year to finance, and is the key reason large numbers of families are better off under Labour, almost 6m by most estimates. Without it, family incomes would have been hit for six by a series of tax rises, not least council tax and petrol tax. With tax credits, a low income family with two young children in childcare can be thousands of pounds better off a year. A family with two children, with a combined income of £15,000, pockets tax credits worth £3,402 and will gain an extra £470 from April.
C is for Chaos
There is a cost, and that can be summed up by the word "chaos". Last year millions of claimants jammed phone lines to tax credit call centres and their computers handling claims regularly seized up.
The Inland Revenue, which manages the whole tax credit scheme, has become a benefits agency and is finding it hard going. It has never really dealt with punters, and certainly not hordes of screaming taxpayers who cannot work out how their tax credit figures add up. Thousands of people have been forced to complain, often with little effect, which is why the Jobs & Money postbag continues to bulge. Even if the Revenue gets most of its latest calculations correct, the perception of problems could cause a repeat panic.
D is for D-Day
A new tax year from April 6 heralds new tax credit calculations. Computers will crunch the numbers on more than 7m claims. If your income has changed, or your childcare costs gone up or down, then you could be slammed with a big bill. Why? Because the Revenue could say you were overpaid. One reader contacted Jobs & Money this week in a panic following a punishing letter from the Revenue demanding £1,000 back. She spent the money in good faith, believing the tax credit calculation was correct.
E is for Eligible
There are two main parts to the tax credit scheme, with several subsets, just to add to the confusion.
· Child Tax Credit (CTC) goes to most families with children, in addition to their existing Child Benefit. People on lower incomes get more. The family element of £545 is frozen this year - a cut in real terms - but is paid to families with joint incomes up to £58,000 or £66,000 if they have a new baby.
· Working Tax Credit (WTC) goes to low-income working single people and couples, including those without children if aged over 25 and working at least 30 hours. It also reduces with rising income.
· Eligibility for both new tax credits is initially assessed on the basis of the previous year's income. If actual income in the year of payment is very different, an adjustment is made, feeding into the following year's tax liabilities/credits. Alternatively, if the recipient chooses to notify the Inland Revenue of expected income change, adjustments can be made in the year of payment.
F is for Fraud
The Inland Revenue has about 500 people working on tax credit compliance. They have already prosecuted a handful of people who have lied about their earnings or kept payments when their childcare has stopped.
G is for Generosity
Working Tax credit is so generous many claimants, mainly working mothers with childcare responsibilities, choose to work less, knowing the cut in income from their employer will be made up with tax credit payments.
H is for Hassle
Tax credits are supposed to be a "light touch" regime, which means the Revenue leaves it up to you to contact them when your circumstances change. Most people who fit the profile of salaried staff on middle incomes with stable jobs will find the system a breeze. Joint incomes over £30,000 puts you above any WTC or childcare help. All you qualify for is the £545 family element. If, on the other hand, you survive on short term contracts or see your income rise and fall with changing family circumstances (having babies) staff at the tax credit call centre will become your best friend (or enemy). You will be ringing them every few months to tell them about your new life. Changes in income of £2,500 or less can be ignored.
I is for Income Support
If you claim income support it won't be for long. All income support payments will switch to the tax credit system from April 6. That's if the Inland Revenue's computer can cope.
J is for Jobseekers Allowance:
Likewise JA claimants will get paid through the tax credit system from April. The Treasury reckons there is less stigma attached to receiving a benefit with the word tax in it rather than the words support or allowance. A tax benefit gives the impression you are working even though IS and JA claimants are not.
K is for Kit
The Inland Revenue has plenty of computer kit but it only works intermittently. Some Revenue staff predict the whole system will crash horribly when it starts processing the one million extra Income Support and Jobseekers Allowance claims from next month.
L is for Lone Parents
Gordon Brown wants single mums and dads to work rather than bring up their own kids. Many single parents agree, others don't. Tax credits pay for registered childcare and reward work. However, there are legions of single mums who have found that when they are made redundant or their short term contracts come to an end they owe the Revenue money.
Mis for man:
Tax credits were a man thing when they started. The working tax credit is still paid through the wage packet of the higher earner, usually the father, but the child tax credit, like child benefit, is mainly paid to the mother.
N is for net
That's the internet to you. But far from being state of the art, there are complaints from some readers that claims sent online get lost and finding them again has proved impossible.
Nicola Beresford, a mother of two from Birmingham, sent her form online only to find two months later that it had disappeared and she was forced to go through the application process on the phone and missed out on two months' money
O is for Open All Hours
Not exactly 24/7, but as near as most people need. You can find out more about how they work at www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/taxcredits/ or free phone 0800-500-222, open 7am to 11pm, seven days a week.
A tax credits helpline is open 8am to 8pm seven days a week, on 0845-300-3900 (0845-603-2000 if you are in Northern Ireland).
P is for Preston
The Tax credit control centre is a major employer in the Lancashire city. The centre is a hub for a series of call centres employing more than 3,000 people dotted around the country.
The government plans to open a new call centre in Newcastle and Bathgate in Scotland to handle tax credit inquiries in addition to centres in Liverpool, Dundee, Livingstone, Peterlee and Merry Hill near Birmingham.
Q is for Queue
Hanging on the telephone is still a problem for tax credit claimants. It is still hard to get through at peak times.
R is for Rise
Big rises in tax credits for low income families come through next month, in which some families, such as those with two children and earning £20,000 or less, will gain an extra £40 per month.
S is for Sorry
Not a word you will hear from the Treasury. Dawn Primarolo (known to her enemies as "Red Dawn") squeezed out an apology of sorts last summer after the farcical introduction of tax credits. She said the thousands of people who lost out would be compensated. Few have been and the Treasury refuses to say if anyone has received the promised £500 for the worst affected.
T is for Thresholds
Middle income families who collect some, or all, of the £545 family element of the child tax credit, face a real-terms cut in benefits. The Chancellor chose to freeze the payment in only its second year, which, taking into account inflation, amounts to a saving for the chancellor and a cut in domestic income.
U is for U-turn
Something the chancellor needs to perform, otherwise his tax credit system will put a brake on the ambitions of almost every couple with a combined income of less than £20,000.
While many are cutting back on their hours with little loss of income, more ambitious souls who want to earn more face a benefit withdrawl rate of over 80p in the £1.
Many readers have said it makes no sense to work longer hours, or accept a promotion with more responsibility (and usually longer hours) when they have the equivalent of an 80% tax rate. In the bad old days, the poverty trap was short and severe. Sure, there were effective tax rates of 110%. But its effects were brief compared to the long taper of the current system.
V is for Victim
Tracey Brown is certainly a victim. She is a single mother with three children who has been on Income Support and Incapacity Benefit since she retired on the grounds of ill-health four years ago. She was encouraged by literature from the Department of Work & Pensions to switch over to child tax credit and was told she would be £1.74 a week better off.
"I didn't do it for the money. I did it to get rid of the stigma of being on Income Support benefits," she says.
Under income support her mortgage was paid directly. Under child tax credit it is part of her income.
Her local council in Cornwall said her new income meant she no longer qualified for full council tax benefit. Now she must pay £578 of the £683.89 a year bill.
W is for WTC
In the Budget Mr Brown said he would investigate switching working tax credit from PAYE slips to a direct payment from the Revenue. At the moment it is a hated piece of red tape for employers who process the payments. It looks likely the Revenue will be making direct WTC payments from next year.
X is for X-rated
Working Tax Credit claimants often turn the air blue when they relate tales of their traumas.
Yis for Youth
Childcare costs are a big part of the equation. Parents can claim £135 for one child or £200 for two as long as these amounts don't exceed 70% of the total cost. Like the family element of CTC, these figures have been frozen for 2004/5. A rise in the child element of the WTC compensates lower income families for this freeze, with much of the £470 annual gain for a family of two on £15,000 coming from the rise in the child element.
Z is for Zozzfozzel
The Dr Seuss character (star of the classic A Cat's Quizzer) tests how smart you are. Tax credits do much the same thing. However, unlike a Zozzfozzel, who makes children feel clever, tax credits make you feel stupid. You know you're reading forms full of nonsensical gibberish, and your failure to understand the calculations is normal, but you feel like your IQ has temporarily plummeted.
Tax credit statements for the 2004/05 tax year fail to make you any the wiser.

Disposable Washcloths for a Cleaner and Safer Facility
Staff at health care facilities need to handle cleanup duties as quickly as possible, and stocking important areas with a supply of disposable washcloths and towels ensures your staff can do so. Numerous washcloth and towel options are available, so you can provide alternatives depending on whether a room needs a quick wipe down or has a large spill. Bulk packs save your facility money, and since these washcloths are disposable, you don't have to worry about creating any laundry work. Compact sizes mean these supplies don't take up much space in your facility, so you can keep a pack in every room while still having enough space for all your other supplies.
Help Your Staff Keep the Facility Clean
Cleanliness is a critical part of the image your health care facility projects to patients and their visitors, as it indicates that the facility is safe and has a professional staff. Give your staff the tools they need to handle any messes and spills right away by keeping a generous supply of disposable washcloths available throughout the facility. Non-sterile washcloths work well for everyday cleanup, while sterile towels are ideal for use with patients during procedures.
Latex-Free to Prevent Allergic Reactions
Accommodate staff and patients that have latex allergies with latex-free disposable washcloths. It may seem like a minor thing, but anyone who has gotten an allergic reaction from latex products is going to be thankful you chose a latex-free option.
Convenient to Store & Use
Since disposable washcloths and towels are tightly packed, they're compact enough that you can fit them in small areas of your facility and still ensure that staff in all areas have cleanup supplies on hand. While sterile disposable towels come in cases, they're sealed in packs of two, so your staff and patients can be confident the towels are sterile before using them. With disposable washcloths, you save on laundry costs, don't need anyone to wash your cleanup supplies, and your staff can simply throw the washcloth away after use, saving them time.
Durable Design to Resist Tears
You want your staff to be able to handle cleanups as quickly and efficiently as possible, but they can't do that with washcloths that tear under the slightest pressure. Medline washcloths are extra-strength, ensuring that they can handle fast scrubbing and soak up spills. For heavier jobs, Medline towels are thicker and able to soak up even more liquid.
Minimize the Risk From Germs and Bacteria
A clean facility isn't just important from an image standpoint, it also reduces the likelihood that germs and bacteria are able to spread and cause infections. By minimizing this risk, your facility is less likely to suffer productivity issues from employees that need to miss work due to illnesses, and you avoid having to treat patients for preventable health problems.

The Pulse That Pulls You In
I don't know why repetitious and pulsing patterns (minimalist or otherwise) obsess me, but they usually factor into pieces of music that catch me off guard and refuse to let my attention wander. That's what binds today's seemingly unrelated selections. What particular pieces obsess you, because of an insistent pulse and/or irresistible momentum?
Tuesday, October 19: The Exploding Piano!
The Exploding Piano can mean only one person, namely my pianistic soul sister Kathleen Supové, whose fearless and virtuosic advocacy of the newest piano music (plugged and unplugged) never fails to inspire, not to mention her wicked red hair! We'll hear music by Elaine Kaplinsky, Randall Woolf, Neil Rolnick, David Lang, Anna Clyne and Lukas Foss.
Wednesday, October 20: Gotta Toccata
Toccatas (and toccata-like pieces) embody machine-like steadiness and merciless repetition. If you can get through today's eclectic sampler with your wrists, arms and upper body intact, you won't need a gym membership.
Thursday, October 21: The Well-Sedated Steinway
After yesterday's strenuous Toccata blowout, we need a one-hour cool down. So I've assembled a playlist that I hope massage therapists will notice! Imagine getting your rhomboids rubbed to the dulcet tones of Kernis, Part, Berio, Silvestrov, Del Tredici, Einaudi, Jarrett and yours truly.
Friday, October 22: Three's Company
Our high school gym teacher tried to divide our gym class into teams by instructing us to "pair off in threes." That memory sparked my idea for a program devoted to triptychs, triumvirates, and other "pairs of three," or, in the case of Satie, a "pear" of three.

it was running around 80-90 the entire time (idle or getting on it) when i put the new oil in it stayed high then dropped a bit, turned off the car for a couple hours and it was back high. is this because the engine isn't warm? HELP!

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton wasn't able to do much during spring practices after undergoing ankle surgery in March. He did take part in a few drills near the end of minicamp, but it wasn't nearly enough time for him to get used to an almost entirely new receiving corps. So, everyone will try to make up for lost time next week before training camp opens July 25.
"I know we're all going to get together next week in Charlotte," wide receiver Tiquan Underwood told USA Today on Thursday. "We're just going to try to speed up the process. We're all going to throw -- Derek Anderson , Cam Newton, Joe Webb, Matt Blanchard and all the receivers -- just to work on timing and get that down pat before camp."
The Panthers lost their three most productive wideouts from 2013, Steve Smith, Ted Ginn, and Brandon LaFell, during the offseason. Their shoes are being filled by Underwood, Jerricho Cotchery , Jason Avant, and first-round pick Kelvin Benjamin.
"We're going to do what we did in OTAs and minicamp: just come in each day and go to work." Underwood said.
Fantasy Analysis:
Newton's learning curve with his receivers is probably going to extend into the season, leading to some poor outputs early. The hope is Benjamin can be a difference-maker right away and that one of those veterans to complement him well.
Tight end Greg Olsen is still present, so that's good. Otherwise, this is the league's most unattractive set of receivers on paper for fantasy purposes. It has caused Newton's draft stock to dip, but he is still considered a mid-range QB1 at worst. None of the wideouts are being drafted inside of the top 40 at their position, but as our Mark Morales-Smith writes, that means someone from this group is likely to become a bargain.
