I've been busy lately, super busy. I figure I'm averaging almost 60 hours per week here at my new job. Why you might ask? Because of the crap I've been trying to polish.
I was brought in to replace a couple of engineers who just weren't getting things done and, it turns out, what they were getting done wasn't done right. I think the thing that bothers me most is that they were both AE's in the past. (I shudder when I think of the damage they might have caused.) I've seen under-defined sketches, boss-extrudes to fill cut-extrudes, parts with features that have been suppressed for no apparent reason. This is stuff that was going to be sent out for quote or manufacture/machining. The drawings that had been created were no better. In looking at them, I seriously doubt either engineer had much experience, if any, with manufacturing or production. Don't even get me started on the part naming and numbering convention…what a cluster that is.
Anyone who has been using SolidWorks for any length of time knows that there are half a dozen different ways to get from A to B. Often you'll hear there's no "wrong way" to do it. I'm here to tell you that there is, in fact, a wrong way to do it. Sorry, but it's the truth. While it's one thing to haphazardly model parts up during an R&D phase, you need to start thinking about machining, manufacturing, assembly, etc at some point during the design phase. If you don't, you end up with the crap that I inherited.
Listen, just because you think you're the ultimate CAD jockey doesn't mean that you are. Do you take the time to think about how that totally awesome part is going to be made? Have you thought about the machinist or mold-maker? If you don't do your own drawings, have you made your design intent clear enough that your drafter is going to get it? Hell, do you get it?
I realize that what I came across here may only happen once in a while, but even that's too much. How much forethought would it take to design parts, even in the R&D phase, that, in the end, will work for everyone downstream that needs them? Yes, I realize that parts are extremely fluid during the R&D phase but they do start to solidify.
Something else to consider: when naming parts try to not be a complete tool about it. Naming a part "Intake Bushing, Rev A – Final – Final – Final" does nothing for my confidence that the part is actually the final one. Worse yet is having said part in two different folders where the older one reports to the assembly and not the newer one (based on last saved status). It's enough to drive a grown man to cry.
What this all boils down to is this: Put some thought into the big picture rather than focusing only on your little part of it. It'll make for happy people all around.
If you watch College football, you've seen their products. If you're a Chargers fan, you've seen their products. Bengals or Packers? Yup, you too. DJO, Inc. designs and produces state-of-the-art knee braces, among other things. 90% of NCAA Division I teams use them. Shawn Merriman, Mark Tauscher, Chad Clifton and Carson Palmer use them. What's my point here you ask? DJO uses SolidWorks to design their products. Actually, they do more than just design with SolidWorks, they do all their surfacing, rendering and analysis with SolidWorks too. They create a wide array of braces, some of which I've used. That's even more to the point for me. I love finding out that something I'm using, or have used, was created in SolidWorks.

LONG BEACH - Saturday's action at the Long Beach Open saw 11 players record scores of 66 or better at El Dorado Park Golf course, bunching up the field ahead of today's 18-hole finale.
Long Beach State graduate Brett Lederer, Kevin Kim and John Hahn each shot 8-under-par 64 Saturday under stellar conditions to pull within striking distance of leader Jaime Gomez.
Doug Garwood, Tyler Hall and Hyun Seok Lim shot rounds of 65, while Drew Scott, Danny Wax, Dan Buchner, Armando Favela and Andrew Vijarro shot 66, taking advantage of still conditions and greens that are rolling fast and true.
Gomez, at 16-under 200, holds a one-stroke lead over Hahn and Scott. Those three will play in today's final group, beginning at 9:50a.m. on the first tee. Lederer, Kim, Lim, Hall and Wax are all two shots back while Garwood and Jamie Estrada trail by three, creating the possibility of 18 thrilling holes today.
"I've got another low one in me," Lederer said confidently after an eight-birdie, no-bogey round. "It'll be fun to go out there ... and post a (low) number.
"I putted great," the 2002 Mayfair High graduate continued. "I made eight (birdie) putts and didn't get into too much trouble. ... Even the putts I missed were right on line. I felt good over the putter."
Several players praised the condition of El Dorado Park's greens, which in past years had become bumpy over the weekend. On Saturday, they were fast and smooth.
"The course was playing about as good as I've ever seen it," said Scott, who recovered from a bogey at 16 with a birdie at 18. "The greens can get beat up by the heavy traffic ... but they rolled great."
Gomez went into Saturday's round with a two-stroke advantage and shot 69. After recording 16 birdies in his first 36 holes, Gomez made the turn at 1 under.
"I was trying to pick my spots," said the native of McAllen, Texas. "Today I hit the ball good, but I was being very patient."
Wax made up three shots Saturday, recovering nicely from a four-putt double bogey at the 15th that momentarily dropped him to 11 under. On 16, he drove just right of the green on the short par-4 and chipped to within a couple feet for birdie. After par at the 17th, Wax hit a good drive at 18 and knocked a 7-iron from 180 yards within 3 feet of the pin for an easy eagle.
"(The double bogey) was rough," Wax admitted, "but I bounced back."
Scott trailed Gomez by four strokes entering the third round but pulled within a shot by the time he made the turn.
"This is pretty much where I wanted to be," he said of playing in today's final group. "To give yourself a shot to win it, that's all you can ask for."
In the competition for low amateur, defending champion Xander Schauffele leads at 3-under 213 following a round of 69 Saturday. Ronnald Monaco and Nicolas Paez are second at 218, followed by Nick Thomas (219), Carter Pool (221) and Pete Fernandez Jr. (222).
Tee times for today's final round begin at 8 a.m. Admission is free.

Published: November 11, 2012 at 11:46 PMSo we can't fully enjoy the fireworks unless we buy a stupid, insanely overpriced hat. Lovely. I didn't need another reason to not renew my AP, but now I have yet another one. We'll be spending a lot more time at Knotts and Sea World next year.
Published: November 12, 2012 at 7:37 AMNot since the "Soundsational Parade" and the first AP Glow with the Show WoC show have the AP events been worth our time. One came with free Glow Ears, and the other allowed for AP exclusive food and a partially open "empty" park.
AP events aren't that good any more. Between this and Frankenweenie, I don't bother because everyone can see these things once they're open to the public.
Published: November 12, 2012 at 9:42 AMOh good, Disney found another way to charge people money to watch their shows.
Published: November 12, 2012 at 7:47 PMIf Disney wants more money they should up the price of a entry ticket, not to drive a bigger gap between people who have to save for a long time to visit Disney and deserve the magic as much as people who have more money.

Thanks for the feedback LiveSteam. Still not sure if I'm gonna drop the ball on it but damn that was a nice rifle to shoot and hearing your input about it's longevity makes it even more tempting. Just an awesome gun to have strapped on your back when your in the woods for defense, not legal for hunting in my neck of the woods.

Once more into the breech, dear friends...!
So, I've seen this question on here a few times. The classic, E46 M3 or a 2007/8 335i.
I would be purchasing an automatic as I have a broken ankle currently (thank you IED...) and I've read on car sites that the SMG is a great tranny - though I do hear of reliability problems, especially on this forum. Gear sensors, pumps, etc. Not to mention they don't make it anymore.
My dilemma is I absolutely love the style of the E46 and have wanted to own one for years - especially an M badge E46.
However, 2006/5 is getting old and M variants are hard to come by. A newer E90 would be great, especially the 335i, but I also read of so many problems with reliability, especially on the turbos.
I would try to get a CPO since everyone says buying a Bimmer sans warranty is madness - another problem with the E46 M3.
I'm just not sure which would be the smarter decision - more parts for the M3, but problematic tranny and getting older. E90 with CPO warranty, but loads of problems with the turbo, etc.
If it makes a difference, my price range is up to around 28k and I would be paying in full.

Module Summary – Earth, Cycles, and Change (TX Ed.)
The constant renewal of water and the reshaping of land on Earth's land surfaces by the activities in the atmosphere that create weather are defining characteristics of Earth, the water planet. The Earth, Cycles, and Change Module provides students with experiences to explore the dynamics of weather and water cycling on Earth, the movement of sediments to form new landforms, and the processes that form sedimentary rocks. In this module, students will:

Just adding that I can relate to and feel compelled to add to this sad issue. My family was recently faced with my mother at end stage COPD, who needed to keep returning to the ICU for BIPAP treatments after losing consciousness from CO2 elevation. After a couple of days of treatment, she would return to fully conscious state, able to eat well, converse well, etc. Essentially, her lungs were gone but her brain and will to live was fully in tact. After a few months of returning to the ICU every few weeks, it was clear that the ICU didn't want to keep spending the money for hospitalization and finally returned her to the nursing home after stabilizing her the same day. It was that same evening she began having symptoms but she gave up and chose not to go to the hospital again since returned to soon this last time, and passed away. If the nursing home could have had the same quality of BIPAP that the ICU did, she may have been able to last much longer..
Gastro Doc
Sorry for your loss. End stage organ failure can be both taxing for the family, patient and providers. A hospital or ICU will always be there to try to stabilize. However it's not a viable long term strategy. There are a whole host of risks associated with each hospitalization. First the whole process of getting admitted is cumbersome and unpleasant. There is the process of calling an ambulance or having a family member take a loved one to an ER. There is the work up and wait in the ER. Blood is drawn. IVs are placed. The admitting doctor is called and eventually the patient is transferred out of the ER. Even once the patient is stabilized it is not a pleasant experience in the ICU. There are the countless interruptions from noises, lab draws or vital signs check. The hospital is a nidus for infection or even accidents. Without a lung transplant end stage emphysema is terminal. There are BIPAP for out patient use but this is usually only for people with sleep apnea who use it at night and a predetermined setting. In someone with chronic lung failure they would need to use the BIPAP most of the time. The settings would always need adjusting and take some expertise. It is not feasible in a nursing home or skilled facility. If a lung transplant is not on the table then this is when the family should have a discussion with their loved one regarding their end of life directives. I would want to be comfortable and surrounded by my loved ones in my last moments rather than prolonging the inevitable by months through various hospitalizations all the while being uncomfortable and distressed..

Eco Homes For Sale and the Property Market
Property doom merchants are predicting a continued fall in the housing market in both the US and UK. The one sector of the housing market likely to be least affected by the property crash are Eco Friendly Houses.
So why is this?
- In the future there are a number of reasons why eco friendly houses will be sought after,
- With the rising cost of energy, sustainable homes will become more and more cost effective
- There are still relatively few eco homes on the market, a lack of supply and growing demand will push up the price of eco-friendly houses
- Governmental policies that reduce the stamp duty, taxes that needs to be paid on carbon neutral homes, making eco homes more affordable compared with less energy efficient homes
- The cost of making a home eco-friendly is coming down all the time, with advancement in environmental technology
eco-homes for-sale - 8 Laughton Lodge, Laughton East Sussex, Bn8 6by
In the future eco homes will become the norm, so the best time to take advantage of Government policies and eco friendly grants is now. Make sure that you arn't left behind, with a home that is practically unsellable because of its inefficency.
If you are interested in eco houses or looking to sell or buy eco homes, Eco House Agent Ltd will allow you to advertise your eco friendly houses for sale, for free, just e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com with all your eco-house advert details and we will upload the advert for you, for free.

CEO Compensation — Nuance (NUAN)
I've spoken about Paul Ricci's excessive CEO compensation as recently as the end of March. The CEO of Nuance (NUAN) has become the poster boy for excessive CEO compensation.
Boston Globe columnist Steven Syre recently dubbed Ricci the "most overpaid executive in Massachusetts." Syre points out that Ricci's total compensation over the past three years was $87 million, while NUAN stock lost 16% of its value at a time when most stocks were flying higher.
TJX (TJX) CEO Carol Meyrowitz came in second spot on that list, with $19.1 million in total compensation (almost $70 million behind Ricci). Of course, TJX stock gained 51% in 2013 and hasn't had a losing year since 2008. Over the past three years, TJX has outperformed NUAN by 39% on an annualized basis.
Seyre also points out that Boston Beer (SAM) CEO Martin Roper earned total CEO compensation of $1.5 million in 2013, just 5% of Ricci's pay, despite doing a far superior job of managing his business.

London, Sep 3: Former cricket captain Alec Stewart and ex-Test spinner Graeme Swann blasted the English side and questioned the team's commitment to the 50-over game after Alastair Cook and Co. suffered a nine-wicket defeat to India in the fourth ODI Tuesday to lose the series 3-0 with still a match to go.
Both Stewart and Swann labelled England as boring and said they are playing an old-fashioned game embarrassing for the fans.
"It is boring and embarrassing cricket. We haven't caught up with the rest of the world. It is so outdated, outmoded and old fashioned and the whole strategy and outlook must change," Swann was quoted as saying by "The Mirror".
Swann, who is now a TV pundit, feels if the England management cannot act now in putting the house in order then things would only worsen ahead of the 2015 World Cup, Feb 14-March 29.
"If the England management, captain and selectors cannot see there is a burning issue that needs to be changed, then I am worried, angry and sad," he added.
Stewart said England have not only to change their mindset but also their game plan.
"We are playing one day cricket as if it is still 1995. We need a change of mindset, game plan and culture."
Cook said he was proud to lead England but if he is asked to step down he would do so.
"In every team I play in at the moment, there is always a question about my place in the side which is quite a hard place to work from. I need to score more runs and that will ease things. I've done so in the past and I know it will come again, but if James Whittaker, Paul Downton and Peter Moores say they don't want me then so be it. I am proud to be England captain but if they say they don't want me then that's their decision."
"It is amazing how quickly it can turn round, we've got to stay true to our beliefs as a team and what you have as a player yourself because people will chip away at you and you start doubting the reason why you got selected in the first place. This is a true test of character for the whole team now," he added.

Key Senate committee approves legislation to begin state takeover of local Medicaid costs
Elmira, N.Y., January 26—A key state Senate committee this week unanimously approved legislation co-sponsored by Senator Tom O'Mara (R-C, Big Flats) to begin a full state takeover of local Medicaid costs.
"The Senate is committed to long-term fiscal responsibility, tax relief and economic growth. Many of us believe that beginning a state takeover of local Medicaid costs would mark a true turnaround in the state-local partnership and a true victory for local property taxpayers. It at least deserves to be a key part of this year's legislative discussions," said O'Mara. "A state takeover would keep building a new system of Medicaid that's going to be more cost effective for taxpayers, less abused and wasteful, and more efficient for patients. It took decades for this system to spiral out of control and it's going to take some time to fix it, but we're going to fix it."
The legislation (S.5889/A.8644) is sponsored by a bipartisan group of 83 legislators, including O'Mara, in both houses of the Legislature. It was unanimously approved by the Senate Social Services Committee on Tuesday and moved to the Senate Finance Committee for consideration. It's currently in the Assembly Health Committee. It must be approved by the Senate and Assembly, and then signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo before becoming law.
In his recently released $132.5-billion proposed state budget, however, Cuomo only called for a three-year state takeover of future local Medicaid growth increases.
The governor's proposal moves in the right direction, O'Mara said, but doesn't go far enough, fast enough.
"The governor's proposal moves in the right direction and keeps us on the right track on Medicaid, but I think we can be a little bolder and do even more this year," said O'Mara.
The legislation would begin an eight-year phase-in of a complete state takeover of all local Medicaid costs, a move that would save county taxpayers approximately $180 million this year. O'Mara and other state legislators have argued that it's unrealistic for the state to keep requiring local governments to find a way to handle Medicaid growth – and other unfunded state mandates -- in the face of the 2-percent property tax cap the state imposed as part of last year's state budget.

About the Book
The General Specific is a collection of photographs taken for ART 407 during the Spring semester of 2008. It is a cohesive portfolio which encompasses the development and exploration of photographer Kyle Florence as he progresses towards defining an identity for himself in photography.
The central themes of these works are geometric lines, structured composition, skewed perspectives, emptiness and solitude. These elements are accomplished through the use of repetition, exclusive framing, isolation of the subject, varying perspectives and harsh lighting situations.
All of these photographs were taken on either an Olympus OM-10 or Holga 120N and developed manually in the darkroom at San Diego State University.

CBS CEO Les Moonves on Network's Benghazi Coverage: Siblings Reporting on Siblings is Not a Conflict of Interest
National Center for Public Policy Research Participation in CBS Shareholder Meeting Marks 6th Media Company Visit of 2014 Shareholder Meeting Season for Group
Los Angeles, CA/ Washington, D.C. - Responding to a question from National Center for Public Policy Research Free Enterprise Project Director Justin Danhof at the CBS annual shareholder meeting, CBS President and CEO Les Moonves made the astonishing claim that it is "inaccurate" to call a circumstance in which a sibling is reporting on a sibling a conflict of interest.
Danhof had asked Moonves, in part:...In its most recent poll on the state of the media, Pew Research reported that Americans think the news media is biased, frivolous and liberal. Two out of three Americans think today's news stories are simply inaccurate and 76 percent say the media favors one side over the other in reporting.
CBS's coverage of the Benghazi scandal is emblematic of one of the major problems with the mainstream press - an unwillingness to speak out against the failings of progressive politicians...
As the Heritage Foundation reported this month, "CBS News President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, the White House deputy national security adviser who drafted the newly-released document about Benghazi just days after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed four Americans." But that information was not made public until a watchdog organization, Judicial Watch, obtained connecting documents after filing a court case.
This obvious conflict of interest is only the surface of a much deeper and more systemic issue. Then-CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson tried to obtain these same documents, but later said CBS News was unwilling to pursue the issue. She has since left the network citing its unwillingness to engage in investigative reporting...
We don't need Bernie Goldberg to come in here and explain how the vast majority of producers and reporters are liberal folks, but why can't they check their politics at the door and be objective in news reporting and analysis? So my question is this: what kind of policy does CBS News have to avoid and report on conflicts of interest such as with the Benghazi cover up, and, in an country where nearly twice as many people identify as conservative than liberal, why does CBS continue only to cater to liberal Americans?
"According to CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves, running a news group that is reporting on your own brother who happens to be a high-ranking White House official at the center of a major international controversy is not a conflict of interest," said Danhof after the meeting. When I asked Moonves about the fact the president of CBS News's brother authored the controversial memo in the wake of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, he claimed it was 'inaccurate' to call this a conflict of interest. This is an appalling response that fails to understand the gravity of what has occurred. Media relies on the public's trust to remain relevant, and Moonves doesn't seem to grasp that even the appearance of a conflict like this is a severe violation of that trust."
Danhof continued: "Moonves completely deflected my criticism of this conflict of interest by claiming that the left has attacked '60 Minutes' false reporting on Benghazi claiming that CBS has, somehow, been too critical of the Obama Administration. He actually called my criticism 'ironic.' But I was not talking about the '60 Minutes' report, I was talking about the fact that CBS news had a direct conflict of interest, knew about it, one of the company's own reporters tried to get the documents showing the conflict and CBS News stifled her efforts. CBS News has gone to extraordinary efforts to protect President Obama and his team from conflict after conflict. Benghazi is just another example."
"Some mainstream media outlets at least have the temerity to admit liberal bias. CBS News CEO Moonves is clearly still in the denial stage. It is fair to say that when it comes to realizing the bias in his own building, he is a member of the flat-Earth society," Danhof concluded.
The National Center for Public Policy Research participated in the shareholder meetings of five other media companies so far this year, including Disney (ABC News), the New York Times, Gannett, Graham Holdings (Post-Newsweek Stations/Slate) and Comcast (NBC/MSNBC).
The CBS shareholder meeting was held May 22 in Los Angeles, in the studios in which the "Price is Right," and, earlier, "I Love Lucy," have been filmed.
Danhof's full question for CBS, as prepared for delivery, can be found here.
National Center for Public Policy Research Chairman Amy Ridenour is a CBS shareholder.
The National Center's Free Enterprise Project is a leading free-market corporate activist group. In 2013, Free Enterprise Project representatives attended 33 shareholder meetings advancing free-market ideals in the areas of health care, energy, taxes, subsidies, regulations, religious freedom, media bias, gun rights and many more important public policy issues. The CBS meeting was the National Center's 38th attendance at a shareholder meeting so far in 2014.
The National Center for Public Policy Research, founded in 1982, is a non-partisan, free-market, independent conservative think-tank. Ninety-four percent of its support comes from individuals, less than four percent from foundations, and less than two percent from corporations.

|Mon, 27 Aug 2007 04:41:30 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-573?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Alex Karasulu reassigned DIRSERVER-573: --------------------------------------- Assignee: Alex Karasulu > Create Schema Checking and Presentation IBS > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIRSERVER-573 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-573 > Project: Directory ApacheDS > Issue Type: Task > Components: core > Reporter: Alex Karasulu > Assignee: Alex Karasulu > > Ok there is soooo much that can and needs to be done here. However this IBS needs to be taken step by step. First off the initial goal for a base line is to just check attribute value syntax compliance and entry objectClass compliance using what we currently have as the schema subsystem. > Basically we ignore things like subschemaSubentry information which we do not yet have modeled. We do not use the ou=system partion yet because the schema sub subsystem has not matured to that point yet. We can use mock wrappers around the BootstrapRegistries for accessing schema inforamtion right now as if the schema subsystem is fully operational. > However let's talk about what can and will be some day ... > First all the goodies will be there where subschemas will be used to selectively constrain subtrees within the DIT as administrator intend with a high degree of granularity. This all comes out of nice stuff in X.500 which is making its way back into LDAP thanks to that guy Kurt from OpenLDAP. Anyhow we'll have all the usual schema suspects we can use like DitContentRules, NameForms et. cetera. including subtree refinements to really really control schema the way it needs to be controled. > Now we can go further obviously and have talked about how we can do this. First off we want administrative maintenance of schema information within the ou=system area. Using this area we store the core schema objects and their associations in logical schema categories like the nis, java and core schemas et. cetera. We enable the presentation and manipulation of this region by server admins. Also we present this content in the usual manner at cn=schema for example as one fat entry with lots of attributes using the usual syntaxes for the schema types. > An neat thing that can be done is to use a subtree specification to describe the entries to which certain types of schema checks can be applied. This thought came to me when I realized that full blown schema checking is not always needed everywhere in the DIT. In fact at times full blow schema checks will get in the way and slow down the server. If we can find a way to specify controls for schema checking this would be a good place to implement them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Hi Guys,
I've tested the newest Nightly and I like it, but I've a few requests.
1. Is it possible to implement a funtion in Audio/Subtitle Options, to set Foreign Audio Search also as default.
It's irritating in batch encoding, to add it every time again and again, when you select a new title or open a new source.
Mainly it sucks in encoding TV series.
2. When I set a hook at an subtitle option, like Forced Only or Default, and I open a new source or add a new title, the hook's are set
automatically, also if I don't wan't it. Is it possible to add an option, to turn that off?
3. My last request is for the audio section. It would be cool, if there's a option, that stores audio settings,
like German = passthrough, English = AAC 128. Cause every time you add a new source,
you have to change it manually.
As last, I've to say, you do a great job! I love Handbreak...

WAM Capital issued 13.8 million shares at $1.785 per share, a 3 per cent discount to the last traded price.
WAM Capital founder Geoff Wilson said the capital raising was an overwhelming success.
"Using the ASX Bookbuild platform to help facilitate the placement was straightforward and the process went smoothly," he said.
"It's a credit to Ben Bucknell and the team at On Market Bookbuilds."
On Market Bookbuilds is the culmination of a five-year project that chief executive Ben Bucknell has said would bring greater fairness and transparency to the market.
It enables investors to engage in capital raisings and initial public offerings in much the same way as trading shares. The facility went live on Tuesday October 8.
WAM Capital, a listed investment company, was the first company to try it.
Mr Bucknell has told The Australian Financial Review previously that companies would be able to get higher prices for shares in capital raisings by using the system.
"It is natural to think that if you can tap into more investors – more demand for fixed supply is economics 101 – that you will increase the price of the shares going out and you will increase the net proceeds for the company," Mr Bucknell said. "What people forget is that 80 per cent of the cost of raising capital relates to the discount to the prior trading price as opposed to fees.
"This is about ensuring that companies access more investors and, even if you don't get a higher price, at least the chairman and the chief executive can stand up at the shareholders' meeting and say we got the right prices, because that was the price out in the market, whereas you can't do that if you haven't had the opportunity to reach every investor in the market."
Mr Bucknell also said that the ASX has no plan whatsoever to cut investment banks and brokers out of the book build process, however several bankers see the facility as a threat to fees.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
The basic elements of a claim of slander include;
1. a defamatory statement;
2. published to third parties; and
3. which the speaker or publisher knew or should have known was false
If you have been defamed, you may seek both actual damages to recover from the economic harm that you have suffered, and punitive damages to punish the person who made the remark and also to serve as an example to deter others.
A judge would also likely issue an injunction against the person making any further comments about you under threat of contempt of court and jailtime.
In order to pursue this, you would need to contact a local civil litigation or personal injury attorney to file suit against her and seek damages for her actions.
If you need further help, just reply to me via the "REPLY" button and I will be happy to continue.

Kareena Kapoor was supposed to grind some spices for a scene in her upcoming film Singham Returns.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
During the shoot in Goa, some local women gave a tutorial to Bebo about the right way of grinding spices in a mortar and pestle. Kareena appeared fascinated with the whole process.
Considering that Bebo loves to do masala films and spice up the latest gossip in Bollywood, this must have been some experience when faced with some real masala in her hand.

15 Positive Side Effects Of A New Haircut (In GIFs!)
Anyone who's experienced new haircut euphoria will tell you that getting your hair done is never just about your hair — it's about getting your whole world view shampooed. You walk into the salon feeling like a dirty cockroach who just crawled out of her cubicle and you leave there thinking you might actually bear some resemblance to Marion Cotillard. Just feeling like a French goddess sets off a whole chain reaction of positive side effects that ends with you drinking scotch and cleaning your bathroom until the wee hours of the morning. Really, it's miraculous. But it doesn't last for long. So, it's essential to capitalize on your new haircut high while it lasts. Don't ever take these wonderful side effects for granted…
1. Getting ready won't include 30 bobby pins and 3 rubber bands to hide all the grown-out layers and split ends.
2. It will give you incentive not to push snooze again when your alarm goes off. (Hello, you need to go out and show the world your new look!)
3. It will inspire you to change up your earring game. (Giant gold hoops? Yes, please!)
4. It will improve your posture.
5. It will up your selfie output (and increase your Instagram likes).
6. It will make you feel better about the gaps in your wardrobe.
7. It will give you the extra push you needed to try that bright lipstick color.
8. It will make you feel just slightly better about that fight you had with your mom.
9. It will help you be brave enough to stand up to that grumpy barista who always charges you extra for foam.
10. It will amp up your flirt-o-meter.
11. It will make you more spontaneous, all-around.
12. You'll feel — for at least a day — like you actually do resemble Marion Cotillard.
13. It will inspire you to overhaul other areas of your life that feel stale — rearrange the living room, try out a new sex position, etc.
14. It will give you carte blanche to say conceited things about yourself to anyone who'll listen — "I look tres chic!"
15. By lightening the weight of your head, you'll have more room for creative ideas.

U.S. regulators reduce barriers to Internet use in the skies
Here's some welcome news for air travellers.
According to a recent Bloomberg Businessweek article, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission is easing the rules around the use of the Internet on planes.
The FCC and Federal Aviation Administration have shared regulation of this area since 2001.
"These new rules will help airlines and broadband providers offer high-speed Internet to passengers," FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said in an e-mailed statement to Bloomberg Businessweek.
The publication reports that Genachowski has bee trying to convince the FAA to loosen up the rules on the use of electronic devices—including the iPad—on airlines.

I like the way this site looks http://www.ruvilla.com/main . Can someone make something like this for me? Or something close? I need a theme that allows large photos like this one with a slider or flash or something close. Let me know what it would cost.
A unique website ?
I want it made into a theme so I can design it. That is a wordpress theme and I am having a hard time finding a theme like that one. Do you know of any themes close to this one?
Whats your budget for something like this Charli?
to make a theme like that? Geez I dunno, do you have a price quote I can see? I am ready to do this is anyone can.
You could use a free news theme or buy something similar here and implement a featured gallery plugin to create the same effect, i highly recommend http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/d13gallery/
You could adjust the sizes etc etc of that plugin easily
Just a idea that could save you money, Regards, Hein

Community center will be plus for parish
Our View - Dec 08, 2011
St. Charles Parish is getting ready to make headway in expanding its public facilities in the months ahead.
A major breakthrough in providing one of them will be the groundbreaking on a new community center on Dec. 16. The $10.5 million structure will be built at 274 Judge Edward Dufrene Parkway in Luling.
It will offer a variety of opportunities for the staging of events with up to 1,688 capacity indoor seating space which was never available in the parish before. This will accommodate public meetings, graduations, athletic events, concerts, job fairs and other activities in a comfortable setting which will be inviting to local residents.
Also included will be office space for three parish departments - - Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, Parks and Recreation Departments and Community Services. And there will be a commercial kitchen to accommodate events held in the building.
As an additional plus, it will withstand winds of 130 mph which puts it into the category of an available emergency shelter with its own power generator. Construction of such a building has been contemplated before but has never come to pass.
On Dec. 16, however, Gov. Bobby Jindal will help break the ground on a structure that should play a positive effect on our future.

The east coast's floods are starting to take a toll on consumer goods companies, with
The soft drinks group said growth in earnings before interest and taxation in the second half of 2010 would be 5 to 5.5 per cent, compared with the 7 to 8 per cent previously forecast.
"Trading conditions throughout the summer period have been challenging with unseasonal wet weather and lower consumer demand affecting Coca-Cola Amatil's major trading zones across Queensland, NSW and Victoria," the group said.
But Coca-Cola Amatil stressed that its forecast of 9 to 10 per cent growth in net profit after tax for the second half was ahead of target due to lower interest and tax costs, and its shares closed up 12¢ to $10.96.
Analysts warned in October that the group was in danger of missing its second-half earnings due to wet weather. The group's chief executive,
Still, its shares which had been trading well above $12, dropped to below $10.
Analysts said the bad weather was hurting one of Coca-Cola Amatil's most profitable businesses, its "immediate consumption" operations, which sell chilled drinks though vending machines.
The company has also been suffering from lower sales in convenience stores as rival Schweppes discounts prices and gains volume share.
Analysts expect Coca-Cola Amatil to partially offset the drop in sales by raising prices, albeit at lower rates than previous years.
Citigroup expects the group to raise prices by 3 to 4 per cent in Australia over the next few weeks.
"The company's timing is fortuitous in light of the upcoming food inflation thematic, given fresh and dry grocery cost pressures having to be passed on," said Andy Bowley, analyst at Citigroup, adding pricing was "a key driver" of the group's profit growth in Australia.
Analysts said they had expected sales of soft drinks and other beverages – including alcohol – to be hit by the wet weather because people typically drink less in cold weather.
These could include beer and wine group
To counter slowing volume growth in Australia – which accounts for more than two-thirds of Coca-Cola Amatil's earnings – the company plans to invest $300 million in Indonesia over the next three years. It is targeting 10 per cent to 15 per cent annual volume and earnings growth from Indonesia over the next three to five years.
Coca-Cola Amatil has also warned the strong Australian dollar will hurt 2010 earnings, reducing the value of translated profits from Indonesia and New Zealand and export earnings at SPC Ardmona. It is forecasting 10 per cent growth in net profit and 7 per cent growth in EBIT for 2010. It reports its 2010 results on February 23.

Mr Miller, from Devon, was shot dead in 2003 at the age of 34, allegedly by a soldier in the Israeli Defence Forces.
Army officials said there was no proof the officer fired the fatal shot but he would be disciplined for apparently breaking the rules of engagement.
Relatives expressed "outrage" and accused the investigative and legal system of "failing to deliver".
Mr Miller's family said military prosecutor-general Avihai Mandelblitt told them there was no match between the fatal bullet and a weapon.
The soldier would be disciplined for changing his story during the course of the investigation, they said.
Mr Miller's sister Anne pledged to continue the action, saying the family would seek a judicial review of the decision not to prosecute and issue a civil action for wrongful killing.
'Virtual war zone'
Mr Miller's widow, Sophy, 33, said: "Nothing can express our outrage that, waiting for two years and putting our faith in a system which has now failed to deliver, we still have prosecutors who suspect and continue to suspect a commanding officer and who will only bring disciplinary measures because of an initial flawed investigative process.
"The truth will come out and we hope the Israeli judicial system will mete out justice.
"This investigation does not serve the IDF, decent Israeli citizens, us, his family, and, above all, James."
Mr Miller had been in the town of Rafah making a film about the effect of the Middle East conflict on Israeli and Palestinian children when he was shot.
His crew claim they were carrying a white flag and identified themselves as British media to IDF soldiers as they left a Palestinian house but were fired upon and a bullet struck Mr Miller in the neck.
The Israeli military police previously led an investigation into Mr Miller's death, but no criminal charges were brought.
The army has also expressed regret over the incident but pointed out that the Briton had "taken great risks by being in a virtual war zone".

Cooke writes, "In our conversations among the band she has revealed in a matter-of-fact way that she has had affairs with women."
"Her name is Belen," he said with matter-of-fact, protective pride.
That throat slit is so real, so jarring, and so matter-of-fact.
By most accounts, Cook was an able replacement for Jobs on stage: steady, matter-of-fact, in control.
Her matter-of-fact voice makes the resemblance unmistakable: "A Murky Fate" begins with "This is what happened."
The woman had risen already, and in a matter-of-fact way was putting a plate and cup, evidently for me.
The provisions in the laws of Hammurabi are as simple and matter-of-fact as possible.
I was a little surprised at the matter-of-fact way in which the men all accepted women doctors, and surgical operations by women.
"Yes, of course it's me," said Babs, in her matter-of-fact voice.
He was no stranger to New York, and usually he took his cities as they came, with a matter-of-fact nonchalance.
also matter of fact, 1570s as a noun, originally a legal term (translating Latin res facti), "that portion of an enquiry concerned with the truth or falsehood of alleged facts," opposed to matter of law. As an adjective from 1712. Meaning "prosaic, unimaginative" is from 1787. Related: Matter-of-factly; matter-of-factness. German Tatsache is said to be a loan-translation of the English word.

Real meaning of UN vote
Op-ed: By upgrading PA's status, UN disregarded its own charter and proved itself unfit to fairly judge Israel
Dan Calic
Published: 12.02.12, 11:07 / Israel Opinion
Since the reality of the UN's overwhelming vote against Israel has had a little time to settle, it seems worthwhile to take a look at some serious ramifications of the decision.
Consider the motivation for Mahmoud Abbas bringing the matter to the UN. It's no secret direct negotiations between the PA and Israel have failed to produce a breakthrough. While several issues have made this difficult to achieve, there is one which rises above all of them. It's not Israel's willingness to accept a Palestinian state. On the contrary, it's the refusal of the Palestinians to accept the Jewish state of Israel - this in spite of the fact that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his predecessors have all agreed to recognize a Palestinian state.
Upgraded Status
UN recognition – no big deal / Noah Klieger
Op-ed: General Assembly granted non-member observer status to state that doesn't exist
Full Story
During the Camp David ll negotiations for example, PM Barak offered 97% of Judea and Samaria, the Christian and Muslim sections of the Old City, control of the Temple Mount and the Gaza Strip all for a Palestinian state. Yasser Arafat rejected the offer. President Clinton was furious with Arafat, indicating the "deal was so good he couldn't believe anyone would turn it down." He blamed Arafat for the collapse of the summit and subsequently lost confidence in him.
Today Mahmoud Abbas has stated on numerous occasions he will never accept a Jewish state of Israel. Since he knows any peace agreement between the PA and Israel which comes as a result of direct negotiations between the two sides will require he accept Israel as a Jewish state, he cannot achieve his objective of a Palestinian state by taking this path. Thus he turned to the UN, which has proven itself to be biased against Israel for years, having passed no less than 33 resolutions critical of Israel since 2006. No other country has had more than one resolution passed against it.
Moreover, Israel is the only country on the permanent agenda of the UN Human Rights Council in spite of atrocities having been committed in numerous other countries.
With recognition of non-member status Abbas achieves worldwide legitimacy of Palestine as a state, without making a single concession to Israel or its supporters. This is a huge diplomatic victory for him and Palestinian status, which not coincidently came on the anniversary of the date in 1947 the UN approved the resolution which created the original two-state solution. A resolution, which the Arab world rejected and instead chose to wage war against the new Jewish state. Has anyone reminded the Arabs or the UN about this?
Flush with a victory smile, Abbas now wants to resume direct negotiations using the just passed resolution which requires Israel to return to pre-1967 borders to bolster his position. With de-facto statehood he may even attempt to bring charges against Israel in the International Criminal Court.
UNGA vote on upgraded PA status (Photo: AP)
Palestine's recognition is also tantamount to the UN accepting several other disturbing elements on the part of the Palestinians. For example, it's well known that on several occasions Abbas has named public places after 'martyred' terrorists who murdered Israeli civilians. The most recent was in July when he named a Palestinian summer camp for children after Dalal Mughrabi, who lead a terrorist attack on an Israeli bus in 1978 which killed 37 civilians. Action such as this by Abbas can only be described as the glorification of murder.
Another issue is the official emblem of the Fatah party of which he is head, includes a map of Israel which is entirely one color - green, the official color of Islam. The map makes no distinction between Israel and borders of a proposed Palestinian state. In other words, Israel doesn't exist, only one state of Palestine does, which covers the entire area of Israel.
More disturbing is the Fatah party's charter. Some quotes include:
Article 12: "Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence."
Article 17: "Armed public revolution is the inevitable method of liberating Palestine."
Article 19: "…..this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.
These quotes confirm the PA and Abbas' Fatah party reject peaceful co-existence with the Jewish state of Israel. In fact, they reflect an avowed commitment to the destruction of the state of Israel, which the UN is certainly aware of.
Thus, by approving Palestine as a permanent observer, the UN is doing much more than legitimizing its status. They are welcoming an official permanent observer which is bound by a charter requiring the destruction of a member nation to sit among the General Assembly. Since the very nature of the UN is supposed to foster peace among the nations of the world, their action is not only reprehensible, it's blatantly hypocritical.

He was my soul mate. I can never forget about him
life is meaningless after i broke up with my soul mate
Soul mates never fight and they always end up together.
I know that these phrases sound familiar. I always get similar messages from readers of 2knowmyself. Many people ask me whether soul mates really exist or whether the concept is just a myth.
My opinion about such a topic might not matter because it might be based on my own view of the world however what matters the most is what psychology says about the existence of soul mates.
In this article i will tell you whether soul mates really exist or not based on psychology's opinion.
This example will tell you whether soul mates exist or not. When Sarah was young she didn't get any attention from her distant father. Sarah grew up believing that she is not that important but because that belief would have hurt her emotions if it was brought to her consciousness it was buried inside her subconscious mind.
One day Sarah met that handsome guy who was really kind to her and who in the same time had similar face features to her father. Even though she didn't realize the similarity she started to think that this guy is her soul mate.
Sarah has been watching romantic movies since she were 12 and she thought that this guy is her soul mate because the feelings she got was really similar to the ones she saw in the movies. For Sarah, soul mates existed without doubt but was this belief true?
In fact Sarah loved the guy and even thought that he is her soul mate because he helped her satisfy one of the very important needs she had. She always wanted her father to care for her and now she met someone who looks like her father who can take care of her.
That's not the end of the story, Sarah and her soul mate (at least according to her own perception) ended up together. Sarah startedbuilding her self confidence after she joined a 6 month confidence building course and there she was taught to feel good about herself even if no body appreciated her.
Suddenly and without understanding why that soul mate became less attractive to her and she was really wondering why is she losing interest in the relationship even though she found her soul mate!!
In my article Love psychology i said that we fall in love with others to satisfy our unmet needs, to compensate for our weaknesses and to avoid the problems that happened to us in the past then believe that we found our soul mate.
Soul mates exist but only in movies! As a result of the movies you have been watching since your childhood you were programmed to believe in the existence of soul mates and that's why:
In short, sorry to disappoint you but soul mates don't exist. We fall in love with people when they meet our subconscious criteria which is a list of conditions present in our minds that is based on our pasts, unmet needs and the desire to compensate for our weaknesses.
2knowmysef is not a complicated medical website nor it's a boring online encyclopedia but it's a place where you will find simple, to the point and effective information that is backed by psychology and that is presented in a simple and obvious way. If you think that this is some kind of marketing hype then see what other visitors say about 2knowmyself.The book "How to get over someone in few days" was released by 2knowmyself, the book is a 100% guarantee that you will get over anyone else you will be refunded.

High Prevalence of Spondyloarthritis Among First Degree Relatives of Patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever: Further Evidence for a Link Between the Two Disorders.

MD, Izmir, Turkey
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an auto-inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. It is associated with the missense variations of Meditteranean fever (MEFV) gene. There is some evidence that spondyloarthritis (SpA) including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is more prevalent in FMF patients. Moreover we and other groups showed M694V, the most penetrant MEFV variation, may be an additional susceptibility factor for AS. Therefore in the present study we investigated the prevalence of SpA and AS in first-degree relatives (FDRs) of FMF patients.
The FDRs (> 16 years old) of 201 consecutive unrelated FMF patients were invited to the outpatient clinic. They were examined according to a standard protocol to capture patients with SpA. Presence of inflammatory back pain (IBP) was judged according to the Calin and Berlin criteria. Standard pelvic X-rays of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) were performed in all patients. The diagnosis of SpA and AS were made based on the European Spondyloarthritis Study Group (ESSG) and the modified New York (mNY) criteria, respectively.
The 201 probands had 1039 FDRs, who were over 16 years-old. Of them, 892 were alive. Ninety-six FDRs who could not be reached after at least three attempts and 84 FDRs with FMF were not included in the study. Of the remaining 712 FDRs, 319 agreed to participate of whom 233 (73%) reported back pain. IBP was present in 32 patients (13.7%) according to Calin criteria and in 20 patients (8.6%) according to Berlin criteria. Thirty-six FDRs were diagnosed as having SpA and five of them as having AS. One additional patient with AS was identified when the medical records of the 393 non-attending invitees were reviewed. The prevalence of SpA and AS among 712 FDRs were calculated as 5.1% and 0.8%, respectively. Based on a prevalence of 1.09% of SpA and 0.49% of AS found in a previous study conducted in our region, the risk ratio was estimated as 4.6 (95%CI; 2.9 to 7.4) for SpA and 1.7 (95%CI; 0.7 to 4.3) for AS in all the relatives. When only the parents (n=275) were considered, the risk ratios for SpA and AS, were 6.9 (95%CI; 4.1 to 11.9) and 2.94 (95% CI; 1.02 to 8.41). Furthermore, two patients with Behcet's syndrome, two patients with rheumatoid arthritis and one patient with un-differentiated arthritis were detected in the study population.
The higher frequency of SpA among the FDRs of the FMF patients and the higher prevalence of AS among the parents, are in line with the previously published studies which have reported high prevalence of sacroiliitis or SpA in FMF patients.
